Professional and personal caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) receive little or no training with regards to the nature, course and accompanying communication challenges of this illness (Haak, 2003). The main aim of the research study was to investigate the interaction between nursing home staff and persons with AD with in a nursing home context, before and after attending a communication-orientated educational workshop for the nursing home staff. Research was carried out by using multiple single case studies. A pre-experimental design was used as the research method. The four participants’ communication skills (verbal, nonverbal and paralinguistic) were evaluated by using the Pragmatic Protocol (Prutting and Kirchner, 1987). Their listening skills were observed and scored according to the Checklist of listening behaviours (Hartley, 1995). A questionnaire was designed to measure the participants’ knowledge and perceptions of different AD aspects. Various shortcomings were identified in the interaction process which highlights the importance of training staff to become competent in using communication strategies that facilitate more successful interaction with persons with AD. The communication-orientated educational workshop (event of the study) was designed according to the data that was collected and based on the person-centred approach of Kitwood (1997). The participants’ communication and listening skills, knowledge and perceptions were evaluated again in the posttest (after the workshop) to determine whether or not there had been a change in these areas. A general view of all the participants’ results showed that there was a significant change in their communication and listening skills. The interaction process was more appropriate during the posttest in comparison to the results that were obtained in the pretest. The participants’ interaction were based more on the principles of the person-centred approach to dementia care than the pretest. There had been a noticeable increase after the workshop in the participants’ knowledge and change to a more positive perception towards persons with AD and the illness. The conclusion has been reached that attendance and participation in a communication-orientated educational workshop leads to more positive interaction with persons with AD. This study has motivated the need for dementia care that is based on the principles of the person-centred approach. It is suggested that an increase in the person-centred approach leads to improvement in quality of life of persons with AD as well as the decrease of the effect of institutionalization in a nursing home setting. Suggestions for future research include that attention should be given to educational programmes with regards to communication strategies for persons with AD. It has furthermore been suggested to approach managers of nursing homes regarding future inservice training of their nursing home staff. / Dissertation (M(Communication Pathology))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology / unrestricted

Notre thèse relève du champ des sciences de l’éducation, plus particulièrement de la psychologie de l’apprentissage et de la pédagogie. Elle s’appuie sur des travaux de psychologues, philosophes et pédagogues : Jacques Lévine (2008), Philippe Meirieu (2009), Lucie Sauvé (2003), et se situe dans le prolongement de théories développées antérieurement par John Dewey (1925), Henri Wallon (1942) ou encore Lev Vygotski, (1926). Dans leur sillage, nous analysons les stratégies et les conditions à mettre en place pour amorcer un processus d’apprentissage visant à développer chez le sujet enfant une pensée génératrice d’actes responsables. En effet, l’un des enjeux majeurs de l’éducation aujourd’hui est de promouvoir des valeurs, comportements et attitudes de manière à favoriser l’édification d’un monde plus viable, plus vivable et plus solidaire tant pour les générations présentes que futures. La complexité des questions soulevées par une telle exigence éducative requiert que, sur chaque territoire, l’on recherche les modalités les plus adaptées et les plus pertinentes. Ces interrogations nous ont conduits à formuler la question suivante comme point de départ : comment, dans un pays où subsiste encore dans l’École des relents d’acculturation et d’enfermement du sujet, peut-on favoriser son émancipation afin de mieux le préparer à devenir éco-citoyen ? Ainsi, prenant appui sur l’expérimentation du dispositif des « Ateliers d’éducation à l’éthique éco citoyenne » (A3E), dans le contexte spécifique du Burkina Faso, la présente thèse démontre la nécessité de construire une pensée réflexive chez le sujet, laquelle est fondatrice de perspectives de changements, à la fois de représentations et de comportements. Les résultats de notre recherche conduite à Markoye montrent que, malgré le fort ancrage de pratiques enseignantes répétitives et dirigistes héritées de l’ère coloniale, les acteurs éducatifs du système scolaire burkinabé sont ouverts aux innovations pédagogiques si certaines conditions sont réunies. Le dispositif tel que conçu et expérimenté, se veut être une démarche de transformation des pratiques pédagogiques parmi d’autres, dans le sens d’une plus grande efficacité émancipatrice des futurs éco-citoyens. Le cadre dans lequel il est mis en œuvre, parce qu’interactif, dialogique et coopératif, favorise l’éveil de la pensée réflexive et suscite chez les sujets le désir de s’engager librement en adoptant des comportements nouveaux, plus responsables vis-à-vis de problématiques en relation avec l’environnement et le développement durable. / This thesis belongs to the science of education, more specifically to the psychology of learning and pedagogy. It draws on the works of psychologists, philosophers and pedagogues: Jacques Lévine (2008), Philippe Meirieu (2009), Lucie Sauvé, (2003), extending the earlier developed theories of John Dewey (1925), Henri Wallon (1942), and even Lev Vygotski (1926). Following their examples, this thesis analyses the conditions and strategies required for initiating a learning process for developing in the child-subject a generative thinking of responsible action. In fact, one of the major efforts of current education is to promote values, behaviour and attitudes with a view to create a more viable, liveable and solidary world for the present as well as for future generations. The complexity of questions raised by such educative expectations again require research, within each of these domains, of the most pertinent and adapted modalities. These interrogations have led to formulation of the following question as point of departure: In a country where acculturation and enclosure of the child-subject still pervade in school, how could his or her emancipation be promoted in order to best prepare him or her to become an eco-citizen?Thus, based on experiments in the specific context of Burkina Faso, by means of Eco-citizen ethical education (3E) workshops, the present thesis demonstrates the need to construct a reflective thinking by the child-subject, which is fundamental from a change and behaviour perspective.The results of this research conducted at Markoye show that, in spite of the strongly ingrained repetitive and directive teaching practices, inherited from the colonial era, the education agents in the burkinabé school system are open to pedagogical innovations, under certain conditions. The methodology as conceived and tested applies, inter alia, an approach of transforming pedagogical practices so that there is a much more effective emancipation of future eco-citizens. The framework in which this is implemented favours, because it is interactive, dialogic, and cooperative, an awakening of reflective thinking and desire in the child-subject to freely engage him/herself by adopting new and in adopting new and more responsible behaviours in relation to EESD.

This report aims to present the work process behind a degree project at Mälardalen University, in cooperation with Volvo CE, Eskilstuna. The report aims to examine how a machine maintenance device can be presented. The purpose of the report is to anchor the understanding between action and results. Based on literature studies,analyzes and tests done with the target group, two prototypes have been developed to show how different subjects can be presented. The prototypes are created in a visual comic-like manner that emphasize the person behind the work. At the same time a comparison between two different ways of working and its results is clarified. / Denna rapport ämnar presentera den arbetsprocess som står bakom ett examensarbete på Mälardalens Högskola, i samarbete med Volvo CE, Eskilstuna.Rapporten ämnar behandla hur ett material om förunderhåll av maskiner kan presenteras. Rapportens syfte är att förankra förståelsen mellan handling och resultat. Utifrån litteraturstudier, analyser och tester med målgruppen har två prototyper framtagits för att påvisa hur olika ämnen inom förunderhåll kan presenteras. Prototyperna är skapade i ett serie-manér som framhäver människan bakom arbetet. Detta samtidigt som en jämförelse mellan två olika arbetssätt och dess resultat tydliggörs.

La greffe repose sur le don d’un organe qui, dans le cadre du don cadavérique, est issu d’un donateur qui n’a pas la conscience de donner. Le donneur et le receveur ne se connaitront jamais, et ce don prend le sens d’une réduction à la donation. Tout se passe comme si le donateur redonnait une chose dont il n’était pas propriétaire ; ce procès prend dès lors la forme d’un sacrifice ou redondance du don, au sens où celui qui a reçu redonne à son tour et sans retour. Il illustre également le concept d’hospitalité qui peut être mobilisé autant par le greffé, que par le soignant. Durant cet intervalle requis par la greffe, au sein de ce rituel symbolique et technique, le greffé est soumis à une réalité chaotique inconcevable et imprévisible. Ainsi, le mot peut manquer et l’écriture, par exemple, peut pallier cette carence, sous la forme d’ateliers ; expérience qui fut menée durant cette recherche et qui sera poursuivie. Sans s’opposer à la démarche des ateliers et outre l’avantage d’une mise en œuvre plus simple, le récit narratif s’est imposé pour trois raisons. - C’est une forme d’action, la plus élémentaire, la première possible après une longue période où toute action était devenue improbable. - C’est une façon de donner une cohérence au parcours subi et, même s’il s’agit d’une construction narrative, celle-ci participe à l’individuation du greffé, condition préalable pour envisager de nouvelles actions. - Enfin, ce récit peut être restitué au médecin qui a vécu l’acte de greffer, contrairement au malade. L’hypothèse est que cette hospitalité faite au récit permet d’une part, de renverser le schéma habituel – le soignant est dans la position de celui qui reçoit, non de celui qui donne –, d’autre part, de donner crédit au récit. Et, de proposer que la phase de réhabilitation, en rapport avec les actes thérapeutiques lourds, débute par ce type de récit où le malade parle et le soignant écoute, sans autre finalité, pour ce dernier, que d’accepter et de recevoir. / The transplant bases of the donation of an organ which, within the framework of the deathly donation, arises from a donor who is not conscious to give. The donor and recipient will never know each other, and this donation takes the senses of a reduction in the donation. It’s as if the donor gave a thing which he didn’t own ; this process takes from then on the form of a sacrifice or a redundancy of the donation, meaning that the one who received becomes the one to give, with no return expectations. It also illustrates the concept of hospitality which can be mobilized by the transplanted and the caregiver. During this interval required by the transplant, within this symbolic and technical rite, the transplante is subjected to an inconceivable and unpredictable chaotic reality.The transplanted can be wordless, and the writing, for example, can mitigate this deficiency, in the form of workshops. Such an experience was carried out during this research and will be pursued.Without opposing the approach of workshops and besides the advantage of a simpler implementation, the narrative was imperative for three reasons :- it is the first possible form of action after a long period of inactivity.- It helps the transplanted to give a coherence to the tranplantation. Even if it is narrative construction, it participates in the individuation of the transplanted, a precondition to envisage new actions.- Finally, this narrative can be restored to the doctor who experienced the act to tranplant, contrary to the sick person. The hypothesis is that this hospitality made for the narrative allows on one hand, to reverse the ususal plan – the caregiver is in the position of the one who receives, not of the one who gives - , on the other hand, to give credit to the narrative.And, to propose that the rehabilitation phase, related to the heavy therapeutic acts, begins with this type of narrative where the sick person speaks and the caregiver listen to, without no other purpose, for the latter, than to accept and receive.

The main idea in solving my thesis was to create a quality public space where people feel comfortable, safe, and will have a reason to return, as well as a place that is full of life and will serve the general public. Bulk architectural study addresses the space - the functional organization of the multifunctional complex "Creative City Brno" makes the creative center in the grounds of the former penitentiary in the city of Brno - Cejl, a proposal multipurpose building in close proximity. The building is to be a creative center facilities for the general public art, because it is equipped with artistic studios, laboratories, multifunction rooms, dance and music halls and galleries. Internal layout of the building was refurbished with respect to its original character largely preserved, with the original premises were functionally adapted

Aujourd’hui, la pratique des ateliers d’écriture créative a véritablement sa place dans les classes du Français Langue Étrangère. Mais force est de constater que les activités proposées dans ces ateliers portent principalement sur les apprentissages linguistiques et culturels de la langue. Cette recherche doctorale met en place une modalité originale de mise en œuvre de la perspective actionnelle préconisée par le CECR. Elle propose de croiser les champs de la didactique des langues, de la didactique de la littérature et de la didactique de la production de l’écrit en FLE pour tenter de déterminer la spécificité et l’impact de la pratique des ateliers d’écriture littéraire dans la construction des compétences linguistique, interculturelle et esthétique. Lors de l’expérimentation, l’analyse de productions écrites littéraires réalisées vise à observer comment les apprenants du FLE, considérés comme des acteurs sociaux qui utilisent leur répertoire langagier et culturel, manifestent leur créativité littéraire. Nous avons porté notre attention sur les stratégies qu’ils adoptent en s’appropriant les consignes d’écriture proposées et sur leurs choix stylistiques, qu’ils soient empruntés ou originaux. Nous montrons que des savoir-faire linguistiques limités ne sont pas forcément un obstacle à la créativité, et que les tâches d’écriture littéraire impliquent pour tout apprenant un travail sur la langue dont le but est l’expression de soi, de sa vision du monde, de l’évolution de son rapport à la langue acquise, à sa biographie langagière, et à la communication humaine. Un chapitre didactique conclusif propose des pistes de réflexion pour l’élaboration d’un cours de production écrite créative. / Today, the practice of creative writing workshops has its place in the classrooms of French Foreign Language (FFL). But it is clear that the activities proposed in these workshops focus mainly on linguistic and cultural learning.This PhD research sets up an original implementation of the action-oriented approach advocated by the CEFR. It proposes to intersect the fields of language teaching, literature teaching and didactics of the production of written FFL, in order to determine the specificity and the impact of literary writing workshops on building linguistic, cross-cultural and aesthetic skills.Through the analysis of literary productions written during the experiment, the study aims to observe how learners of FFL, considered as social actors who use their linguistic and cultural repertoire, show their literary creativity.We focus our attention on the strategies they adopt when appropriating the proposed writing protocols, and on their stylistic choices, whether borrowed or original. We show that limited linguistic knowledge and expertise is not necessarily an obstacle to creativity, and that literary writing tasks urge every learner to work on the language with the purpose of self-expression of his worldview, of the evolution of his relationship to the target foreign language, of its linguistic biography, and of human communication.A concluding chapter offers exploring resources for a course in creative writing and for teacher training.

A lo largo del proceso de aprendizaje de la interpretación, hay factores que pueden influir en la práctica interpretativa de los estudiantes. Por un lado, se encuentran factores relacionados con el nivel de dificultad del texto, la velocidad del discurso, la longitud del discurso, las variantes dialectales, entre otros. Por otro lado, están los factores cognitivos. Sin embargo, existen otros factores relacionados con las emociones, los rasgos de personalidad y las motivaciones respecto a las asignaturas académicas. A estos factores se les conoce como factores individuales. Por ello, el presente estudio busca analizar los factores individuales de los estudiantes de Traducción e Interpretación Profesional de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC) en los Talleres de Interpretación 1 y 2. La investigación utilizará un enfoque mixto, cuantitativo y cualitativo; por lo tanto, se pretende aplicar las técnicas de encuestas y grupos focales. Para abordar el primer subobjetivo (factores afectivos internos y externos), se utilizarán los cuestionarios modificados y adaptados de Chiang y Beck: Anxiety and Interpretation Learning Questionnaire de Chiang (2006) e Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck (BAI, 1988). Para el segundo y tercer subobjetivo (experiencias sobre los factores afectivos y las motivaciones), se creará una guía de grupo focal. En este sentido, los estudiantes de tales talleres son los sujetos de estudio de la presente investigación. / Throughout the process of learning how to interpret, there are some factors that can influence students' interpretive practice. On the one hand, there are factors related to the text level of difficulty, the speed and length of the discourse of, dialectal variants, among others. On the other hand, there are the cognitive factors. However, there are other factors related to emotions, personality traits and motivations regarding academic subjects. These factors are known as individual differences. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the individual differences of the students of Professional Translation and Interpretation at Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC) in the Interpretation Workshops 1 and 2. The research will use a mixed, quantitative, and qualitative approach; therefore, it is intended to apply the techniques of surveys and focus groups. To address the first sub objective (internal and external affective factors), the modified and adapted questionnaires of Chiang and Beck will be used: Chiang's Anxiety and Interpretation Learning Questionnaire (2006) and Beck's Anxiety Inventory (1988). For the second and third sub objectives (experiences on affective factors and motivations), a focus group guide will be created. In this regard, the students of such workshops are the subjects of study of this research. / Trabajo de investigación

Thesis on subject of Paolo Fiammingo in Venice focuses on a personality of a Netherlandish painter, who lived in Venice the most important part of his productive life. Text of the thesis resumes knowledge on his origin, regarding existing literature it suggest, that there is not enough documentation of his staying or apprenticeship until he came to Venice. In this regards, it also concludes, that he was not famous until he took part in Tintoretto's workshop in Veneto. Thesis researches possible Tosca and Roma mannerism influences of his later works by an analysis his later work and in the light of existing literature. Main part of the thesis concerns on Paolo's sojourn in Venice, which started probably in Tintoretto's workshop. Within workshop daily praxis, he was contributing in finishing some specific commissions of his Master with his apprentice colleagues. Thesis brings some witnesses concerning workshop life and also way the completed work took from the workshop to commissioner. The other part of this work turns awareness to his independent production in Venice and its close connection to his transalpine commissions. The part concludes in suggestions concerning the case of Fiammingo and his concrete purchasers, the Augsburg merchandiser Hans Fugger and the Emperor Rudolf II. It also mentions a...
