Mitt syfte med detta arbete är att försöka belysa den svårighet som både Jung och Buber såg för människan att finna helhet och äkthet i livet. Denna fråga är för mig högst aktuell i det samhälle jag lever i idag. Genom en uppdelning av tiden och rollerna har helheten gått förlorad vilket hotar att splittra människan. Risken är att hon alieneras till sig själv och andra människor. Denna alienering visas genom meningsförlust och en relativiserande hållning. Med Jungs respektive Bubers tankar vill jag jämföra deras slutsatser och därefter finna svar på det transcendentas (det heligas) roll för människans helhet och möjlighet att vara människa. Frågor som jag vill försöka besvara: - Skiljer sig Jungs Själv och Bubers eviga Du från varandra? - Vad blir den praktiska skillnaden ifråga om individuationen? - Hur relaterar femtiotalets konflikt dem emellan till de föregående frågorna? - Vad kan vi idag lära oss av denna konflikt?

Collaborative care is a philosophy which guides the work of interdisciplinary teams and patients and their families internationally. It has been demonstrated to improve quality of care, safety, and patient and staff satisfaction, yet applying this philosophy still requires much investigation. This thesis describes processes of change directed towards a vision to enhance collaborative care relationships with patients and families within one hospital site of a non-acute academic health science centre in Ontario, Canada. By building focused conversations around existing patient and family centred education and using an initial conceptual framework of customer service, healthcare providers, mid- and senior level leaders shared their perspectives, negotiated meanings and created innovations to enhance collaborative relationships within the organization. Based within the critical paradigm, a critical collaborative ethnography was constructed with the use of sequential and mixed research methodologies. The ethnography evolved over three phases in a step-wise and additive design during the three year period of study. Phase 1 examined the perspectives of healthcare providers in an exploratory case study which contributed to mid-level leaders’ discussions in Phase 2. Cumulative findings from Phases 1 and 2 were brought to discussions with senior leaders in Phase 3. Members of a participative action research team assisted with research design and study processes. Shared meanings and innovative change ideas were developed and captured through the use of semi-structured focus groups and interviews, survey, participant observation and inductive analysis. A conceptual framework of ‘partners-in-care’ emerged and was used to assist participants to make sense of the values and factors important in their work with respect to collaborative relationships. The research processes facilitated the development of many innovations to enhance collaborative practice within the hospital. The organization was described by the research as undergoing directed change to enhance collaborative care as evidenced through participant self-reports, observed initiatives and the ethnographic descriptions. / Thesis (Ph.D, Rehabilitation Science) -- Queen's University, 2012-06-25 15:06:24.687

This research determines the ground for a Christian theological anthropology that makes provision for a doctrine that supports human self-realization. It is evident from the study that anthropological self-realization is an involved process of becoming truly human, not an isolated course founded solely on the biblical knowledge of being created in the image and likeness of God. All sciences, and in particular anthropological sciences, enjoy the prerogative of unraveling and analyzing the human person. Whether these sciences are neuro-biological, psychological, theological, philosophical, biblical, spiritual or mystical in character, each with its specific method legitimately attempts to explain the complexities of the human person. In the light of this neither philosophy nor theology possess the exclusive claim to authentic human wisdom. In truth most scientific insights have a combined impact on the self-realizing growth and development of humanity. The process of self-realization links theology to real life questions such as evil, suffering, hope, love, justice and freedom, as well as with the immanent, the transcendent, the human and the divine. This thesis holds to the opinion that a theology of self-realization would contribute to the 'humanization' of theology since it brings praxis and theory into close alignment. This study equally expresses the conviction that the doctrine of consecrated vowed life, an ecclesiastical structure in the Roman Catholic Church, is particularly in need of humanization, as the notion of 'self' as a strength has been notably absent from traditional treatises on the practices of religious life. Conventional forms of consecrated vowed life called the woman to suppress and spiritualize at least some of her femininity. This was due to the distorted theological anthropology that sustained consecrated life in which God was presented as an idea to be grasped intellectually, and not an experience to be lived. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / Th.

At this point, this paper aims to conduct a study about some methods used to obtain an approximate solution of the functions of roots. The survey was made by means of a literature review, focusing on Numerical Methods Bisection, False Position, Fixed Point, Newton-Raphson and Secant. In order to illustrate the operation and application of these methods, numerical test problems taken from the literature were performed by implementing these. For each test performed were analyzed parameters that in uence each method and the convergence situation for the approximate solution of the analyzed problems. Although these methods do not always make available exact roots, they can be calculated with the precision that the problem needs. At this point, it is evident the importance of studying methods for nding such equations roots. Thus, the work is justi ed on the need to discuss the problems facing the nding roots of polynomial functions in the literature. In addition, this paper describes a comparison between the methods studied by applying mathematical problems. All this research material becomes adept and e ective for students and professionals from all areas that make use of them, or perhaps wish to extract it for enrichment of several sources of study. / Em diversos problemas de caráter cientí co, é comum depararmo-nos com a necessidade de obter uma solução aproximada para encontrar raízes de funções.

In it we produce a possible explanation of how geometry has been created besides of a brief study on the number followed of the production GeoGebra software, the too we have utilized to build up the figures and the work implementations. We will utilize the areas equivalence based on Euclides elements to solve an initial problem: that of constructing a quadrilateral equivalent to a given pentagon and, for such, it will be necessary the demonstration of some propositions. We will utilize the square to relate its areas with those of the polygonal figures through the âquadratureâ method. With such we will execute the rectangle, triangle, pentagon quadrature, and that of the convex n sides polygon. We will utilize Pitagoras theorem to sum up the squares areas by bringing up brief comments about its use. Afterward this method will also the utilized in the attempt of squaring the curvelin figures such as the circle which has later on originated the problem of the circle quadrature. For explain such a problem we will utilize the geometric construction along with the demonstration of two methods for obtaining the circle quadrature and its respective results and comparisons. In the sequence, we will know what the are constructive numbers, algebraic and transcendent, which will enable us to reach to a classification of the number and its relation to the circle quadrature problem, reaching out the answer to our problem. While defining the geometrical average we will demonstrate how to obtain some quadrature utilized in such an average in the proposed activities. In other words, we can say that this work aims to produce the circle quadrature problem, the investigation of the methods developed by mathematicians for the solution of this problem in the course of history and, finally, an ascertainment on the answer these methods point us. / Este trabalho tem o intuito de traçar o percurso das tentativas de solução da quadratura do círculo, bem como citar suas influências, contribuições para o desenvolvimento da matemática até os dias de hoje e incentivar o uso da geometria dinâmica. Nele apresentamos uma possível explicação de como surgiu a geometria, além de um breve estudo sobre o número , seguido de uma apresentação do software GeoGebra, ferramenta que utilizamos para construção das figuras e das implementações do trabalho. Utilizaremos a equivalência de áreas baseada na obra dos elementos de Euclides para resolvermos um problema inicial: o de construir um quadrilátero equivalente a um pentágono dado e, para isso, será necessária a demonstração de algumas proposições. Utilizaremos o quadrado para relacionarmos a sua área com as das demais figuras poligonais pelo método da "quadratura". Com isso, executaremos as quadraturas do retângulo, triângulo, pentágono e do polígono convexo de n lados. Utilizaremos o Teorema de Pitágoras para somarmos áreas de quadrados, tecendo breves comentários acerca de seu uso. Posteriormente esse método também foi utilizado na tentativa de quadrar-se áreas de figuras curvilíneas, como o círculo, no que mais tarde originou o problema da quadratura do círculo. Para a exposição deste problema mostraremos a construção geométrica e a demonstração de dois métodos para obtermos a quadratura do círculo e seus respectivos resultados e comparações. Em seguida, definiremos o que são números construtíveis, algébricos e transcendentes, o que nos possibilitará chegar a uma classificação do número e sua relação com o problema da quadratura do círculo, chegando à resposta do nosso problema. Ao definirmos a média geométrica, mostraremos como obter algumas quadraturas utilizando essa média nas atividades propostas. Em outras palavras, podemos dizer que este trabalho objetiva apresentar o problema da quadratura do círculo, a investigação de métodos desenvolvidos por matemáticos para resolução deste problema ao longo da história e finalmente uma constatação acerca da resposta que estes métodos nos apontam.

This dissertation explores an analogue of the prime number theorem for polynomials over finite fields as well as its connection to the necklace factorization algorithm T-transform and the string complexity measure T-complexity. Specifically, a precise asymptotic expansion for the prime polynomial counting function is derived. The approximation given is more accurate than previous results in the literature while requiring very little computational effort. In this context asymptotic series expansions for Lerch transcendent, Eulerian polynomials, truncated polylogarithm, and polylogarithms of negative integer order are also provided. The expansion formulas developed are general and have applications in numerous areas other than the enumeration of prime polynomials. A bijection between the equivalence classes of aperiodic necklaces and monic prime polynomials is utilized to derive an asymptotic bound on the maximal T-complexity value of a string. Furthermore, the statistical behaviour of uniform random sequences that are factored via the T-transform are investigated, and an accurate probabilistic model for short necklace factors is presented. Finally, a T-complexity based conditional string complexity measure is proposed and used to define the normalized T-complexity distance that measures similarity between strings. The T-complexity distance is proven to not be a metric. However, the measure can be computed in linear time and space making it a suitable choice for large data sets. / Graduate / 0544 0984 0405 / nrebenich@gmail.com

This doctoral study explores social workers’ shared understandings of spirituality as lived experience in their personal lives and professional practice. It examines Canadian social workers’ shared conceptualizations of spirituality as lived experience, what it entails, its role and purpose (why), and how it informs professional practice. Data collection involved three steps: a national publicity led to 24 completed self-screening questionnaires (SSQ); 14 in-depth interviews conducted through constructivist grounded theory’s theoretical sampling and; the preliminary findings were validated by the 24 SSQ participants. This study generated two key findings. The central concepts category of the conceptual schema of spirituality as lived experience emerged as Transcendent Life Energy (TLE) as Unconditional Love (UL) in Transformative Relationships (TR) With Self (WS) in Support of Wellbeing (SW)- i.e. TLE-UL-TR-WS-SW. Second, the conceptual schema analyzed through Self as body-mind-emotions-spirit-social (B-M-E-S-S) being—the social work practitioners—illuminated that spirituality as lived experience is about inherent, interconnected, transformative relationships that involve individuation as a life-long process that support healing, development of personal values, growth, and wellbeing in participants’ lives, their clients’ and social life. These findings unveiled interrelated discoveries of significance in social work practice. The wellbeing of Self is inherently interconnected with practitioners’ professional practice, their clients’ and others’ wellbeing. This confirmation is consistent with the concerns about the use of Self in countertransference and religion/culture. However, the personal values that participants developed through the conceptual schema were consistent with human rights and social work values; they included: respect for inherent dignity and worth of persons, self-determination, personal and professional integrity, do no harm, and social justice. Participants’ process of developing personal values exposed a distinction between beliefs and values acquired through socialization and those developed through the conceptual schema. These findings illuminate the function of social work as catalyst for transformative relationships and clarify the role of individuation as directly related to wellbeing, in the midst of cultural and embodied hegemony. Furthermore, the findings illuminate how, why, and what spirituality as lived experience entails and; highlight the multidisciplinary nature of social work practice and theory as inherently interconnected, encompassing human, natural, and social sciences. / October 2016
