I write this as an artist. I write this despite the academy and what I do not have and what you thrive on. I write this in recovery from panic attacks, anxiety disorder and a haze of medications and therapies over the past 3 years as a result of burnout. I write this while processing loss…a catastrophic loss of livelihood, network, capacity, allyship, my body. I write this conjuring memories, memories of systems and events that were in large part the source of my panic and anxiety and their malignancy. I write this during the Covid pandemic, the invasion of Ukraine, the January 6th insurgency, the murder of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests, the rolling back of LGBTQA+ and abortion rights in the USA and an international wave of populism and conservative right politics that threaten me and those I love. I write this during a period that I lost formative queer models and landmark buoys that kept me paddling in the right direction, head above the surface…Stephen Sondheim, Larry Kramer, Terrence McNally, Andre Leon Talley, Judy Tenuta, Willy Burmann, Lauren Berlant, Irene Cara, Thierry Mugler, Olivia Newton-John, Leslie Jordan, bell hooks. I struggle to write this since, on day one of my enrolment, Roehampton University began the non-transparent decimation of the Department with which I was to be associated. I lost the kind of support I had anticipated. The power of the institution was diminished significantly through the aggressively manipulated redundancies forced upon its life’s blood…the teaching body…driving some of the most important thinkers on dance and theatre and performance from their positions and severely compromising those that remain. I write this in isolation, a forced seclusion away from the resources of the institution because of pandemic restrictions and guidelines and a string of strike actions and workload pressures that affected my Department of association and threatened my supervisors’ availability and wellbeing. I write this in th

Domestic violence is a widespread social problem. Although studies show that support from social services can be a key support to able to leave a violent relationship, few seek this help. Reports of social workers who fail to help females subjected to violence show that something has to change. This study has aimed to examine how the support from women's shelters is designed for women who seek help and support from Swedish social services. The method that has been used is qualitative interviews with six people who work at women's shelters. The analyzing method was a thematic analysis. When analyzing the materials three theories were chosen. The theories were acknowledgment, shame, and social capital. The conclusions have shown that the work with domestic violence from social services has flaws. Mainly has it been shown that support from women's shelters can be in advance for women from domestic violence who seek help from social services.

As Noongar people, we have a strong spiritual connection to boodjar, or Country, which relates to everything within landscapes that give us meaning and purpose. It is our law and culture to care for the natural environment and places of significance. Performing on-Country is a key part of maintaining it. Country is everything—weather, land, sea, sky, flora, fauna, groundwater—and song, dance, and Country are fundamentally connected; expressing Country through performance is part of Country as a living thing. In a Noongar context, it is not just “performance” in the sense of a fiction or purely symbolic act; Noongar performance makes manifest and maintains ever-present relationships that sustain Country, humans, and biota. However, along with other factors, the increasing irregularity and restriction of longstanding Noongar performance practices directly coincides with increased environmental degradation. In response, Aboriginal people signal the pressing need to restore languages and performance traditions decimated by the settler colonial project. Therefore, there is a need to better understand and appreciate how Aboriginal performance cultures contribute to humanity’s ability to coexist with nature. This thesis explores the development of a series of novel Noongar dances which represent spiritual, cultural, and hence environmental affective values associated with Country, with a view to re-invigorating both cultural practice and links to Country itself, for Noongar and non-Noongar. My experience as a Noongar dancer, actor, drama teacher and cultural tour guide has led me to ask the following questions that I personally feel need to be answered. How can we as Noongar performers express our understandings of Country within movement? What kind of dances can we create for species and landscapes that are endangered on-Country and within performance traditions? And how can we share this, so to pass on and sustain across generations and communities for a deeper connectio

Bakgrund: En del sjuksköterskor som arbetar inom palliativa vård möter dagligen lidande och sorg hos patienter som de vårdar. Trots en utsatthet för andras lidande kan dessa sjuksköterskor hitta kraft för att fortsätta vårda. I tidigare forskning framkommer compassion fatigue som en risk vid vårdandet av extrema situationer medan compassion satisfaction är mindre beforskat och sällan som ensamt fenomen. Syftet var att beskriva vad som ger sjuksköterskan en upplevelse av compassion satisfaction i vårdandet av patienter inom palliativ vård. Metod; En induktiv manifest kvalitativ innehållsanalys utifrån sju intervjuer . Resultat; Två kategorier framkom i analysen: inre och yttre resurser inverkan. Dessa har underkategorier som är (1) Att vara patienter behjälpliga, (2) Att ha självförtroende, (3) Ett optimistiskt förhållningssätt, (1) Att visas uppskattning, (2) Att få stöd från organisationen och (3) Att ha meningsfulla möten. Slutsatsen är att dessa olika upplevelser samverkar och tillsammans bidrar till upplevelsen av compassion satisfaction. Huvudsakligen kan sjuksköterskan påverkas av den positiva relationen som finns till patienter och bygger på den empatin som finns mellan sjuksköterskan, patienter, närstående och kollegor. Även organisatoriskt stöd i form av tid är viktigt för att kunna uppleva compassion satisfaction., The Background: Nurses who work with palliative care can face pain and suffering from their patients on a daily basis. Despite that exposure for others pain these nurses still finds the strength to keep on with their work. Earlier research shows compassion fatigue as a risk when caring for patients in extreme situations while compassion satisfaction is a less researched phenomenon and seldom by itself. The aim was to describe what gives nurses the experience of compassion satisfaction in care for palliative patients. The method used was an inductive qualitative content analysis where data came from interviews. The result is presented in two categories; impact of internal recourses and impact of external recourses. These have three subcategories each; (1) to help the patients, (2) to have confidence, (3) an optimistic attitude, (1) to be shown appreciation, (2) to have support from the organization, and (3) having meaningful meetings. The conclusion is that these various factors work together to contribute to the experience of compassion satisfaction. Some nurses are mainly influenced by the positive relationship that exist between them and the patients. These relationships are based on empathy that exists between the nurse, the patients, relatives to the patients and colleagues. Organizational support in the form of time is also important in order to experience compassion satisfaction.

Uppsatsens syfte är att söka förklaring till varför den svenska regeringen valde att inte erkänna folkmordet på armenier/Seyfo samt undersöka på vilket sätt politiker använder sig av historia när de ska ta beslut i frågor som dels skett i en annan tid och som dels är obekväma att hantera. För att få svar på denna fråga har en kvalitativ metod använts. Argumentationsanalys samt kritisk diskursanalys har använts för att tolka de politiska argumentationerna och nyckelorden i den politiska debatten. Den utredning som regeringen beställde som underlag för sitt beslut har varit ett viktigt undersökningsmaterial. Vidare har intervjuer använts för att få en ökad förståelse av undersökningen. Syftet med uppsatsen har uppnåtts och förklaringen till varför den svenska regeringen valde att inte erkänna folkmordet på armenier/Seyfo är också en slutsats. Det fanns flera bakomliggande faktorer så som att inte stöta sig med en stor väljargrupp, inte riskera handelsrelationer dvs. ekonomiska intressen, dels flyktingfrågan mm. Dessa faktorer var dock inte de största utan den absolut största och även viktigaste orsaken var den som de inte tordes nämna. Denna faktor var att de var rädda för att ett erkännande skulle leda till påtryckningar och hot från Turkiet samt från olika intressenter i Sverige., The purpose of the thesis is to seek an explanation as to why the Swedish government chose not to acknowledge the Armenian/Seyfo genocide and to investigate how politicians make use of history when making decisions on issues that have happened in another time and which are partly uncomfortable to manage. A qualitative method has been used to answer this question. Argumentation analysis and critical discourse analysis have been used to interpret the political arguments and keywords in the political debate. The investigation that the government ordered as a basis for its decision has been an important investigative material. Furthermore, interviews were used to gain a better understanding of the study. The purpose of the thesis has been achieved and the explanation as to why the Swedish government chose not to acknowledge the Armenian/Seyfo genocide is also a conclusion. There were several different underlying factors such as not clashing with a larger voter group, not risking trade relations i.e. financial interests, partly the refugee issue, etc. However, these factors were not the greatest, but the absolute greatest and also the most important reason was the one they did not dare mention. This factor was that they were afraid that recognition would lead to pressure and threats from Turkey as well as from various stakeholders in Sweden.

Starting from the connection and tension between the expression and the acknowledgement of pain, we explore the interpersonal space between the two: How it is that pain’s expression and acknowledgement are always inflected by the space between the one in pain and the other, and how, in turn, pain’s expression and acknowledgement inflect that space. To inflect, grammatically, is to mark words-by gender, number, tense, mood, indicating a constitutive difference: our words are always inflected somehow or other. In this sense, the expression or suppression of pain, its being acknowledged or ignored, marks interpersonal space and is marked by it. Through some examples, we raise questions about what we learn about interpersonal space-when that space inflects and is inflected by pain. We are especially interested in the absence of expression and/or acknowledgement, in the ignoring of pain and the constraints on acknowledgement. Examples that will be discussed are: Ignoring pain, love-making, and intimate space: We want to think about minor, incidental (non-eroticised) pain-that typically carries with it a determination not to express the pain, in order to avoid the distraction of its being acknowledged-the disruption of the space of intimacy. Inflicting pain, professional caring, and professional space: Again, we focus on the (relatively) mundane and morally unproblematic-the pain inflicted, e.g., by a doctor’s cleaning a wound or by a physiotherapist initiating motion in an injured limb. The interpersonal space is one of professional engagement, and both pain’s expression and its acknowledgement are and should be contextualised by expectations of appropriate care. Witnessing pain, face-to-face: Either professionally or by chance, one may become a witness to the newly bereaved. A risk here is an acknowledgement that collapses the interpersonal space where the pain calls for presence at a distance, respecting the aura of emptiness., First published as eBook in 2010 by Inter-Disciplinary Press.

Bakgrund: Graviditeter som avslutas innan vecka 22 definieras som missfall och drabbar cirka en tredjedel. Tecken på missfall yttrar sig genom blödning och/eller smärta. I mötet med dessa patienter är det sjuksköterskans ansvar att främja hälsa, förebygga sjukdom, återställa hälsa och lindra lidande. Lidandet är en unik och individuell upplevelse och behandlas därefter. Ur ett manligt perspektiv kan förlusten av ett barn genom missfall generera en förlorad självkänsla och identiteten som förälder. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser i samband med missfall. Metod: Denna litteraturöversikt grundade sig i tio vetenskapliga artiklar hämtade från databaserna Cinahl Complete och Medline. Nio av artiklarna var kvalitativa och en var av mixad metod. Artiklarna analyserades enligt Fribergs metod. Resultat: Resultatet innefattade tre huvudteman med tillhörande subteman. Det första temat var emotionell påverkan med subteman sorg, sorgeprocess, trauma och chock samt skuld och exkludering. Det andra huvudtemat var erfarenheter av sjukvården med subteman information, empati och miljö samt stöd. Det sista temat var stöd från sociala nätverket där det framkom att kvinnor hade ett stort behov av stöd från närstående. Diskussion: Litteraturöversiktens styrkor respektive svagheter diskuteras i relation till den valda metoden. Resultatdiskussionen diskuterades mot Katie Erikssons teori om den lidande människan. Kvinnornas behov av att ha en minnesplats eller ceremoni diskuterades samt hur detta kunde tillgodoses från vårdpersonalens sida, detta i relation till ett historiskt perspektiv. Även partnerns roll och vad som förväntades av denne diskuterades. Författarna resonerade även kring sjuksköterskans roll i mötet med kvinnor som drabbats av missfall., Background: Pregnancy that ends before week 22 is defined as miscarriage and affects about one-third. Signs of miscarriage appear through bleeding and/or pain. When meeting these patients, it is the nurse’s responsibility to promote health, prevent disease, restore health, and relieve suffering. Suffering is a unique and individual experience and is thereafter treated that way. From a male perspective of losing a child through miscarriage, loss of identity as a parent and self-esteem was experienced. Aim: The aim was to describe women's experiences associated with miscarriage. Method: This literature review was based on ten scientific articles, obtained from the databases Cinahl Complete and Medline. Nine of the articles were qualitative and one was of mixed method. The articles were analyzed according to Friberg’s method. Results: The result included three main themes and associated subthemes. The first theme was emotional impact with subtheme grief, grief process, trauma and shock as well as guilt and exclusion. The other main theme was experiences of healthcare with subthemes of information, empathy and the environment as well as support. The last theme was support from social network, where it emerged that women had a great need for support from relatives. Discussion: The strengths and weaknesses of the thesis are discussed in relation to the chosen method. The result discussion was discussed in relation to Katie Eriksson's theory of the suffering human. The women's need to have a memorial or ceremony was discussed as well as how this could be catered for by the health care staff, in relation to a historical perspective. The role of the partner and what was expected of him was also discussed. The authors also reasoned about the nurse's role in the encounter with women affected by miscarriage.

All humans are born equal in dignity and rights and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood (Article 1, Universal Declaration of Human Rights). Compassion impels us to treat others with fairness and respect, and bring us closer together. A place where the impact of compassion could be explored is the courtroom of criminal law. In the courtroom, we pay attention to the suffering of victims as a result of crimes, but the suspect suffers as well. His suffering prevents further crimes and provides retribution for the victim, but it stands in the way of his willingness to cooperate. Being treated with compassion would allow the suspect to find himself in a courtroom where he is encouraged to participate (Tyler & Blader, 2003), and willing to take responsibility for his actions.Compassion is seen when people aid others that are suffering. Recognising that the sufferer’s needs are not met, and acting based on the understanding of the situation is what defines compassion. The act of alleviating someone’s need through compassion is patient, dignified, and without judgement. This knowledge allows for a strategy to design for compassionate interactions. A model is created that aids designers when designing compassionate interactions, which is used throughout the project.In the courtroom, suspects are judged and given punishment for violating the law. This is done by the judge, as retribution and to prevent further crimes. The public prosecutor as the suspect’s enemy and the lawyer as the suspect’s teammate argue on opposite sides to convince the judge of their story. If present, the disadvantaged party contributes to their statement about the consequences of a crime. While the courtroom is about the suspect, it is seen that he is submissive in his role, he is there to cooperate with the investigation. The current interactions with other courtroom actors, the room itself, and the values of the suspect during the procedure make the suspect suffer throughout, Design for Interaction

Het huidige systeem rondom schulden biedt weinig ruimte voor een menselijke aanpak en dus voor het aansluiten op de behoeften van het individu. Dit heeft een slecht mentaal functioneren door stress als gevolg. Daarnaast zorgt het ervoor dat je gedrag meer aangestuurd wordt door emotie, wat kan leiden tot een grote stapel ongeopende enveloppen en het verzwijgen van schulden. Door beide redenen hebben veel mensen met schulden het gevoel dat ze niet meer deel kunnen nemen aan de maatschappij. In sommige gevallen leidt dit tot sociale isolatie en depressie. Dit alles wijst naar het taboe dat bestaat rondom schulden, wat ervoor zorgt dat veel schulden onzichtbaar blijven voor bijna iedereen. Het doel van dit project is daarom het ondersteunen van mensen met schulden bij het doorbreken van het taboe, door hun persoonlijke behoeften te beantwoorden. Waardoor uiteindelijk al deze negatieve consequenties kunnen afnemen. In het onderzoek heeft de persoon met schulden telkens centraal gestaan. Het onderzoek heeft zich gefocust op de wijk het Oude Noorden in Rotterdam, omdat 21% (Idem, 2016) van de huishoudens in deze wijk problematische schulden heeft. Daarnaast is de wijk aan het gentrificeren, wat een diversiteit in cultuur en inkomen als gevolg heeft. Daarom moet men behoedzaam zijn voor de verdringing van oorspronkelijke bewoners of conflicten tussen beide groepen. Uit dit onderzoek blijkt dat mensen met schulden het gevoel hebben geen erkenning te krijgen voor hun problemen en bestaan als persoon, bijvoorbeeld van hulpverleners, kennissen of buurtgenoten. Ook moeten zij vaak al hun autonomie uit handen geven wanneer ze hulp krijgen, hoewel het over belangrijke beslissingen gaat. Daarnaast verliest iemand het vertrouwen op zijn kunnen en is er tijdens het oplossen van schulden vaak weinig mogelijkheid tot het ontwikkelen van nieuwe competenties. Daarnaast blijkt dat er een mentaliteitsverandering nodig is, om ervoor te zorgen dat het taboe doorbroken kan worden. Daarom foc, Design for Interaction

In this paper, I compare Stanley Cavell’s understanding about the scepticism and the drama of the unknown woman with José Medina’s diagnose on epistemic injustice, in order to understand, firstly, how are conducted the processes of silencing and lack of acknowledgement, which harm underrepresented people and collectives. Secondly, I contrast the solutions that Cavell and Medina pose to these problems, with an especial interest in the link they establish among epistemic, ethic and politic elements, and in their regard of arts and emotions, as factors that overflow the Modern and Cartesian understanding of philosophy and play a fundamental role in the overcoming of the aforementioned difficulties. Some artistic examples will be also brought up to illustrate Medina and Cavell’s explanations, En este artículo comparo el tratamiento que hace Stanley Cavell del escepticismo y del drama de la mujer desconocida con el diagnóstico de injusticia epistémica que propone José Medina, para en primer lugar, comprender cómo se dan los procesos de silenciamiento y de falta de reconocimiento que dañan a personas y colectivos infrarepresentados. En segundo lugar, contrasto las vías de solución que estos dos autores ofrecen a estas dificultades, con especial interés en la conjugación de elementos epistémicos, éticos y políticos que proponen; así como en su consideración del arte y las emociones como elementos que rebasan la comprensión moderna y cartesiana de la filosofía y cumplen un papel fundamental para superar las dificultades mencionadas. Se traerán a colación además algunos ejemplos artísticos para ilustrar los argumentos de estos autores.

Selon une méthodologie qualitative de type biographique, l’article analyse sur le mode du cas unique le récit de vie d’une femme de 73 ans qui fut prisonnière politique et torturée lors de la dictature civile et militaire chilienne. On cherche à cerner le sens que prend l’autre comme altérité dans son expérience subjective. En premier lieu, c’est la figure de l’autre qui apparait dans le récit de prison, de torture et de violence politique. Dans ce cas, l’altérité se vit dans le passage entre des lieux de confort et d’appui, comme dans la camaraderie politique, et d’autres caractérisés par la violence et la crudité incarnés dans le rôle du tortionnaire et des forces armées. Une situation particulière se produit lorsque l’agresseur est paradoxalement perçu comme un être bon. En deuxième lieu, l’altérité se présente a posteriori, en aval de la situation de violence politique, dans la transmission de cette expérience. Elle prend forme dans le rôle du témoin, comme une expérience réparatrice associée à la reconnaissance qu’elle implique mais à la fois redoutée en raison du risque de « faire mal » au récepteur du récit. En troisième lieu, le cadre de la recherche se présente comme une instance particulière qui fait apparaître la rencontre entre le participant et un autre, chercheur, qui, à l’image de ce qui se produit dans le cas précédent, outre son rôle de chercheur, fait office de témoin., [Between acknowledgement and the possibility of doing harm: The experience of alterity in the case of a former political prisoner of the Chilean dictatorship] ccording to a qualitative methodology of a biographical type, in 'the unique case' mode, this article analyses the life story of a 73-year-old woman who was a political prisoner and tortured during the Chilean civil and military dictatorship. We seek to determine the sense that the other takes on as alterity in her subjective experience. In the first place, it is the figure of the other who appears in the account of prison, torture and political violence. In this case, alterity is lived in the passage between places of comfort and support, as in political camaraderie, and others characterized by the violence and brutality the role of the torturer and the armed forces incarnated. A particular situation occurs when the aggressor is paradoxically perceived as a good being. In the second place, the alterity presents itself a posteriori, downstream from the situation of political violence, in the transmission of that experience. It assumes a form in the role of witness, as a reparative experience associated with the acknowledgement it implies but at the same time dreaded because of the risk of "harming" he who the account is aimed at. Thirdly, the research context is presented as a particular instance showing the encounter between the participant and another, a researcher, who, as occurred in the previous case, in addition to his role of researcher, serves as witness.

We have two ways we can interpret the term genealogy: tracing our family origins and tracing our historical-political origins. The symbolic value of any genealogy does not revolve around the debt we have contracted with previous generations of women; such a term would make it tantamount to credit and then we would be mired in the world of economic exchange. In reality, genealogy is something born of a kind of acknowledgement that perhaps we could call ‘renewed awareness’, or in other terms a way to reinvent the knowledge passed down to us by previous women and make it our own. In this sense it means finding, in the philosophical thought and the lives of those who came before us, something which somehow belongs to us but we were unaware of: we didn’t have the right words to recognize it with. This creates a symbolic circle of genealogy, which isn’t the result of an act of will that would deliberately lead us into the sphere of genealogy. It’s rather the insight that there is something true that concerns us in women who have gone before us and, above all, that by understanding this about ourselves sets us in motion and transforms our lives. This forms the roots of women’s politics., Com base em uma metodologia filosófico-narrativa, este artigo visa articular em todos seus aspectos o conceito de genealogia, assim como emergiu no debate feminista francês e italiano a partir dos anos 80 do 1900. Em particular, temos duas maneiras de interpretar o termo genealogia: a genealogia familiar e a genealogia histórico-política. O valor simbólico de qualquer genealogia não depende da dívida que contraímos com gerações anteriores de mulheres. Se fosse assim, a dívida seria o equivalente do crédito e estaríamos somente no mundo da troca econômica. Na realidade, a genealogia nasce de reconhecimento, de algo que talvez possamos interpretar como "conhecimento renovado", ou seja, uma maneira de reinventar os saberes que nos transmitiram as mulheres anteriores a nós e torná-los nossos. Nesse sentido, significa encontrar, no pensamento e na vida daquelas que vieram antes de nós, algo que de algum modo nos pertence, sem que o soubéssemos, porque não tínhamos as palavras que nos permitissem reconhecê-lo. Isso cria um círculo simbólico da genealogia, que não é o resultado de um ato de vontade, que intencionalmente nos coloca na esfera da genealogia. Mas é a intuição de que há algo de verdadeiro, que tem a ver conosco, nas mulheres que nos precederam e, sobretudo, de que entender isso sobre nós mesmas, nos coloca em movimento e transforma nossas vidas. Isso dá raízes à política feminina., Con base en una metodología filosófico-narrativa, este artículo procura articular en, todos sus aspectos, el concepto de genealogía, así como emergió en el debate feminista francés e italiano a partir de los años 80. Dispondemos de dos maneras de interpretar el término genealogía: la genealogía familiar y la genealogía histórico-política. El valor simbólico de cualquier genealogía no depende de la deuda que contraemos con las generaciones anteriores de mujeres. Si fuera así, la deuda sería equivalente al crédito y seríamos sólo en el orden del intercambio económico. Más bien, la genealogía surge del reconocimiento, de algo que podríamos interpretar como "conocimientos renovados", es decir, una forma de reinventar los saberes que nos vienen de las mujeres anteriores y hacerlos propios. En este sentido, significa conocer, en el pensamiento y en la vida de aquellas que vinieron antes de nosotras, algo que de alguna manera nos pertenece, aunque no lo sabíamos, porque no teníamos las palabras que nos permitiesen de reconocerlo. Esto crea un círculo simbólico de la genealogía, que no es el resultado de un acto de voluntad, que intencionalmente nos pone en la esfera de la genealogía. Pero es la intuición de que hay algo de verdadero, que tiene que ver con nosotras, en las mujeres que nos han precedido y, sobre todo, que entender esto acerca de nosotras mismas, nos pone en movimiento y transforma nuestras vidas. Esto da raíces a la política de las mujeres.

This research addresses the acknowledgement of the indigenous people in the Constitutions of the Republic of Guatemala (1945, 1956, 1965, and the current of 1985) to recognize their rights and create policies that allow their development. Additionally, the assertion of the indigenous movement that encompass from respect for the preservation of their culture to an active participation in every level of government, their demand for recognition of the different indigenous languages, as well as their costumes, cultures and access to justice, and their struggle to eliminate government discriminatory policies. It states the importance of the Agreement Regarding Identity and Rights of the Indigenous People that was consolidated with the issuance of the Framework Law of the Peace Agreements and the approval of Convention 169 of the International Labor Organization regarding Indigenous People and Courts in Independent Countries. These legal instruments warranty to date, the protection and subsistence of the indigenous people and somehow legitimize its movement in the struggle for their demands., Este trabajo aborda el reconocimiento de los pueblos indígenas en las Constituciones de Guatemala (1945,1956, 1965 y la actual 1985) para reconocer sus derechos y crear políticas que les permitieran desarrollarse. Además, las reivindicaciones del movimiento indígena que abarcan desde el respeto por la preservación de su cultura hasta una participación activa en todos los niveles del Estado, su exigencia el reconocimiento de los diversos idiomas indígenas, así como de sus costumbres, cultura y en el acceso a la justicia y su lucha por eliminar las políticas discriminatorias del Estado. Señala la importancia del Acuerdo sobre la Identidad y Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas que a su vez se consolidó con la promulgación de la Ley Marco de los Acuerdos de Paz y la aprobación del Convenio 169 de la Organización Internacional de Trabajo sobre Pueblos Indígenas y Tribunales en Países Independientes. Estos instrumentos legales garantizan a la fecha, la protección y subsistencia de los pueblos indígenas y de alguna manera legitiman sus movimientos en la lucha por sus reivindicaciones.

Contexte : La chronicité de la maladie est difficile, autant pour le soigné que pour le soignant. Malgré de nombreux travaux et recherches (réalisés principalement chez le soigné), la douleur chronique reste un fléau. Il est suggéré qu’une approche centrée sur la personne soit la meilleure pour aider ces patients. Il serait donc possible que la façon dont le médecin adapte sa clinique face au patient ait une influence. En regard de la douleur chronique, sa prise en charge difficile peut mener le soignant à ressentir de l’impuissance. Quelles stratégies utilise le soignant lorsque la pharmacopée est insuffisante ? S’il est répandu que les engagements spirituels des patients permettent d’attribuer un sens aux expériences de la douleur, peu de choses sont connues du côté des médecins. But : La présente étude explore les facteurs influençant la prise en charge par les médecins du patient douloureux chronique afin de comprendre comment leurs caractéristiques identitaires, spirituelles et relationnelles orientent leur approche de soins. Méthodes : Un dispositif de théorisation ancrée en recherche qualitative a été retenu. Le cadre conceptuel élaboré repose sur deux concepts clés : celui de l’identité narrative selon Ricœur et celui du temps selon Tillich. Les participants furent recrutés selon un échantillonnage de convenance. Des entrevues individuelles semi-structurées ont été conduites auprès de sept médecins de diverses spécialités, confrontés aux difficultés de prise en charge en contexte de douleur chronique. La moitié des participants ont été interviewés une seconde fois afin d’approfondir le thème de l’identité, et ce, jusqu’à saturation des données. Les transcriptions sont analysées selon la méthode de codification Strauss et Corbin. Résultats : Si le facteur temps était théoriquement connu de par la littérature sur la maladie douloureuse chronique, la collecte et l’analyse des données en a favorisé son émergence en tant que concept, révélant ainsi son importance, Background: Chronic pain is difficult, both for the patient and the caregiver. Even though many studies and researches have been conducted (mostly with patients), chronic pain remains. It is suggested that a person-centered approach is the best way to help these patients. However, little is known about how physicians adapt their practice to their powerlessness when faced with chronic pain patient. Which strategies are to be used when the pharmacopoeia is insufficient? Though it is known that religious and spiritual commitments may allow patients to give meaning to their pain, little is known about how physicians deal with these commitments. Purpose: This study explores the factors influencing how physicians take charge of chronic pain patients to understand how their identity, their spirituality and their relationship shape their care approach. Methods: Within a qualitative research design in grounded theory, the conceptual framework developed is based on the two key concepts: the narrative identity by Ricœur and the concept of time by Tillich. Participants were recruited using a convenience sampling. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with seven physicians in various specialties dealing with the difficulties of chronic pain management. Four of them were interviewed a second time to further investigate the subjet, until data saturation. The transcripts were analyzed by Strauss and Corbin’s method of codification. Results: If the time factor was theoretically known from the literature on chronic pain, continuous and simultaneous data collecting and analyzing has brought its emergence as concept (axial coding), revealing thereby its implicit crucial importance within the therapeutic relationship. Our approach, inspired from both theological and philosophical anthropology‘s frames, have allowed us to identify “recognition” as an emerging process to explain the flow scheme of the physician’s professional and personal identity when faced with

In response to the global problem for nonprofit organisations of encouraging donors to keep donating blood, time and money, this thesis examines the effect of thanking donors using social media and email on their donation behaviour. This study also examines the factors that encourage donors to share recognition they receive from organisations on Facebook. Together the findings will inform strategic development of online donor appreciation programs, and solicitation efforts to improve donor recruitment and retention efforts.

Modern detective fiction on World War One enables the reader to both remember and come to terms with some of the most tragic and horrific events and consequences of the War. The genre operates as a site of mourning and remembrance that relies on acknowledgement, i.e., a form of active knowledge, expressed in public as the recognition, re-thinking and re-stating aloud of claims that other human beings have on us. Charles Todd’s sixteen novels in the Detective Ian Rutledge series invite the reader to take part in investigating crimes that were either committed during the War or that are directly related to events that took place during the War. The stories never fail us because Rutledge does everything he is expected to do: solve the mystery, restore order and reinforce the value and power of moral integrity. The novels tell us important things about how war affects the individual, how it can never be forgotten but – for the right person, how its lessons can also be harnessed in the service of good.

Although studies have explored the ‘lived experience’ of burn survivors, little is known about their experiences encountered during rehabilitation. A descriptive phenomenological study was conducted to gain an in-depth insight into burn survivors’ experiences’ of acknowledgement and acceptance of their injury and the challenges experienced during their rehabilitation journey. A descriptive phenomenological methodology was used to construct themes depicting how burn survivors endeavoured to acknowledge and accept their injury and subsequent altered body image. Twenty men and one woman up to eight years after-burn within Australia were selected through purposeful sampling, and data were collected through in-depth individual interviews conducted in 2011 (N = 21). Interviews were analysed using Colaizzi's method of data analysis. The emergent theme acknowledgement identified four cluster themes that represented how burn survivors came to terms with their injury and an altered body image: (1) reasoning (2) humour (3) the challenge of acceptance (4) self-awareness. Coming to terms with a severe burn is a challenging experience. Reasoning and humour are strategies utilised by burn survivors that facilitate with acknowledgement and acceptance. Understanding these concepts through the burn survivors’ perspective will, potentially, facilitate a better understanding of how to best provide for this cohort of patients.

Background: Miscarriage is a common phenomenon in our society. It is reported that approximately 17 % of all pregnant women in Sweden go through a miscarriage every year. For many women miscarriage is a tumultuous life event that often has a deep emotional impact. Miscarriage is a subject that often is prohibited to talk about in our western society. Consequently this means that nurses have an important role in the emotional support for these women. This can be a challenge in Sweden since the hospital stay for women who go through a miscarriage is very short and often limited to a day.Aim: This study aims to highlight women's reported experiences of miscarriage and their requested support.Methods: This study is based on twelve original scientific articles, of which ten had a qualitative approach, one had a quantitative approach and one had a mixed approach.Results: The study showed that the experience of miscarriage is individual. How women experience their miscarriage is largely linked to a woman's thoughts about her pregnancy. A miscarriage can evoke complex reactions if the woman starts to fantasize about her child and starts to identify herself as a mother. Many of the women complained about the lack of care that was given to them from the health care, which had a significant role in how they experienced the miscarriage. They requested more acknowledgements and more humanistic treatment and care, as well as follow-ups. The study also showed that women feel that relatives are a support factor to them during the miscarriage.Discussions: The results showed that there are flaws in the care of women who has experienced miscarriage, particularly that the women’s emotional needs are not met. Nurses who work in a gynecological unit require enhanced skills and preparedness in the health care of women undergoing miscarriage., Bakgrund: Missfall är ett vanligt förekommande fenomen i vårt samhälle. I Sverige rapporteras varje år att cirka 17 % av alla gravida kvinnor genomgår missfall. För många kvinnor är missfall en omtumlande händelse i livet som ofta har en djup emotionell påverkan. Missfall är till stor del ett ämne som är tabubelagt att samtala om i vårt västerländska samhälle. Därför har sjuksköterskor en viktig roll i det emotionella stödet till dessa kvinnor, vilket innebär en utmaning i Sverige eftersom vårdtiden för kvinnor som genomgått ett missfall är mycket kort, ofta begränsad till ett dygn.Syfte: Denna litteraturstudie syftar till att belysa kvinnors rapporterade upplevelser av missfall samt vilka stödinsatser de efterfrågar.Metod: Litteraturstudien är baserad på tolv vetenskapliga originalartiklar varav tio stycken hade kvalitativ ansats, en hade kvantitativ och en hade mixad ansats.Resultat: I studien framkom det att upplevelsen av missfall är individuell. Hur kvinnor upplever sitt missfall är till stor del sammankopplat med kvinnans tankar runt sin graviditet. Om kvinnan har börjat fantisera om sitt barn och börjat identifiera sig med en ny identitet som mor, kan ett missfall framkalla komplexa känslomässiga reaktioner. Många av kvinnorna påtalade brister i bemötandet från sjukvården, vilket hade en betydande roll för hur de upplevde missfallet. De efterfrågade mer bekräftelse och ett mer humanistiskt bemötande och vårdande, samt uppföljningar. Studien visade även att kvinnor upplever att de närstående är viktiga stödfaktorer för dem under missfallet.Diskussion: Resultatet visade att det föreligger brister inom vård av kvinnor som genomgått missfall, framförallt genom att kvinnornas emotionella behov inte blir tillgodosedda. Sjuksköterskor som arbetar inom gynekologiska enheten behöver en ökad kompetens och beredskap i vårdandet av kvinnor som genomgår missfall.

Wireless low-power transceivers used in sensor networks typically operate in unlicensed frequency bands that are subject to external radio interference caused by devices transmitting at much higher power.communication protocols should therefore be designed to be robust against such interference. A critical building block of many protocols at all layers is agreement on a piece of information among a set of nodes. At the MAC layer, nodes may need to agree on a new time slot or frequency channel, at the application layer nodes may need to agree on handing over a leader role from one node to another. Message loss caused by interference may break agreement in two different ways: none of the nodes uses the new information (time slot, channel, leader) and sticks with the previous assignment, or-even worse-some nodes use the new information and some do not. This may lead to reduced performance or failures. In this paper, we investigate the problem of agreement under external radio interference and point out the limitations of traditional message-based approaches. We propose JAG, a novel protocol that uses jamming instead of message transmissions to make sure that two neighbouring nodes agree, and show that it outperforms message-based approaches in terms of agreement probability, energy consumption, and time-to-completion. We further show that JAG can be used to obtain performance guarantees and meet the requirements of applications with real-time constraints., CONET, ReSense

This paper aims to show that identity has become an essential category to understand contemporary conflicts. Different from its traditional forms of identification, identity turned to stratify, getting multiple, claiming legal acknowledgement for its several forms of belonging production. We stress that human body, beyond its biology, claims and constitutes an identity that assures its biography, its speech and its specific way of being. Finally it is maintained that if identity is adopted by Law, identity becomes reduced to an identification modus. In terms of norms, Law constitutes identity taking him its character., O presente texto pretende demonstrar que a identidade tem se transformado numa categoria essencial para se compreender os conflitos contemporâneos. Diferentemente de suas formas tradicionais de identificação, a identidade tem se estratificado, se tornado múltipla, reclamando reconhecimento jurídico para as suas diferentes formas de produção de pertença. Destaca-se que o corpo, para além de sua biologia, reclama e constitui uma identidade que garante uma biografia, a fala e sua particular forma de ser no mundo. Por fim, defende- se que, apropriada pelo direito, a identidade é reduzida a um modo de identificação. O direito constitui normativamente a identidade descaracterizando-a.

This paper outlines the multi-strategy approach adopted in a post-graduate subject at an Australian university to develop graduate qualities in international students and to educate them with respect to acknowledged Western referencing conventions. The international student body in Australian universities has increased markedly in recent years with the corporatisation of the university sector. These students have different educational backgrounds and expectations with respect to their Australian student experience, and they face a range of difficulties in a new educational environment. Further, their understanding of plagiarism and correct referencing styles may be different to that of a student in a Western university.Concerned with past instances of plagiarism and the complexities faced by international students, the lecturer of the post-graduate subject sought assistance from an Academic Language and Learning (ALL) lecturer to review the assessment tasks in the subject. This led to a redesign of assessment tasks, with the aim to not only address the issue of plagiarism but also enhance the development of graduate qualities in the students. Emphasis was placed on the students' learning environment and high quality outcomes, and explicit education on skills and protocols was provided by the ALL lecturer. Formal feedback from students on the revised tasks was evaluated and used to improve future assessment tasks and teaching. It was concluded that embedding academic language and learning within assessment tasks enhanced the educational outcomes of students and the development of graduate qualities.

This paper outlines the multi-strategy approach adopted in a post-graduate subject at an Australian university to develop graduate qualities in international students and to educate them with respect to acknowledged Western referencing conventions. The international student body in Australian universities has increased markedly in recent years with the corporatisation of the university sector. These students have different educational backgrounds and expectations with respect to their Australian student experience, and they face a range of difficulties in a new educational environment. Further, their understanding of plagiarism and correct referencing styles may be different to that of a student in a Western university.Concerned with past instances of plagiarism and the complexities faced by international students, the lecturer of the post-graduate subject sought assistance from an Academic Language and Learning (ALL) lecturer to review the assessment tasks in the subject. This led to a redesign of assessment tasks, with the aim to not only address the issue of plagiarism but also enhance the development of graduate qualities in the students.

Ve své diplomové práci jsem uvedl návrh systému, který bude schopen zaměřit polohu uživatele bezdrátové sítě pouze pomocí prostředků, které síť poskytuje, tzn. pouze pomocí přístupového bodu a několika klientských počítačů. Mimo jiné jsem provedl pokusné měření k ověření, zda je vůbec možné provádět měření doby šíření paketu za pomocí monitorovacích stanic sestavených z notebooků a externích bezdrátových karet. Dále je zde uveden způsob, jakým získané informace ukládat a následně zpracovat ve vytvořeném programu, který pracuje z již zmíněnými uloženými informacemi., This diploma work is focused on designing a system, which would be able to locate position of a WiFi network user only by utilizing the WiFi client and AP devices that are already present in the network. Among others I performed experimental measuring to check, if it is possible to measure the time of packet propagation with the help of monitoring stations. The monitoring station consists of notebook and external wireless card. Further, the method for saving and subsequent compiling acquired information with created program is presented., Ústav aplikované informatiky, obhájeno

This thesis aims to identify and analyse the most prominent influences on Scott Westerfeld's Uglies series and Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. It looks particularly at the difference between the authors' attitude towards influences they happily acknowledge and those influences which they attempt to conceal because they cause them anxiety (in the case of Westerfeld) or embarrassment (in the case of Pullman). This focus, combined with the speculative analysis of His Dark Materials' influence on Extras, the fourth book of the Uglies series, is intended to show the variability of literary influence. Comparative close readings throughout the thesis display the variety of ways influences are used within the texts, and illustrate the factors on which their use is dependent: the compatibility of the latecomer text with its precursor, the author's opinion of the earlier work, and the reading the author makes of the precursor text. Pullman's acknowledgement of influences is dependent on whether he considers them worthy precursors (in the case of Heinrich von Kleist, William Blake, and John Milton) or an embarrassing ancestor (in the case of C. S. Lewis). Westerfeld's is dependent on how similar his precursor works are to his own texts, as he does not acknowledge the obvious influence of Aldous Huxley, but happily names Ray Bradbury, John Christopher, Ted Chiang, and Charles Beaumont as influences. The thesis shows that the use of literary influences is not straightforward as one author may, as Westerfeld and Pullman do, display different attitudes to and appropriate precursor texts in differing ways within one work.

The extraordinary wealth of the New Kingdom of Grana-da—known today as Colombia—in gold, silver, emeralds, amethysts, garnets, and other precious elements such as pearls, tortoiseshell, tagua (or vegetable ivory), and coral fostered the development of gold- and silversmithing and made a significant contribution to colonial art. However, in traditional history this pursuit has yet to be adequately recognized, perhaps because much more attention has been paid to other art forms such as painting, sculpture, and architecture. The present article, “Gold- and Sil-versmithing in the Province of Popayán”, is part of an investigation on this art and its practice throughout the country and intends to acknowledge the valuable work of the recognized goldsmiths and silversmiths of the time., La extraordinaria riqueza del Nuevo Reino de Granada —territorio de la actual Colombia— en oro, plata, es-meraldas, amatistas, granates y otros elementos preciosos como las perlas, el carey, la tagua —o marfil vegetal— y el coral favoreció el desarrollo de la orfebrería y su sig-nificativa contribución al arte colonial. Sin embargo, la historia tradicional de la cultura no lo ha reconocido suficientemente, quizás por la atención brindada a otras artes como la pintura, la escultura y la arquitectura. El presente artículo forma parte de una investigación sobre el arte de la platería y su ejercicio en este amplio territorio para rescatar del olvido el valioso trabajo de estos artistas, conocidos en su tiempo como “oribes” y “plateros”.

Skeptic and dogmatic views about the problem of other minds are based on at least one shared assumption: thinking that knowledge of other minds and knowledge of our own mind are both of the same kind. Cavell negates this assumption together with the myth of the internal in such a way that he converts the problem of other minds into the problem of self-knowledge (into the problem of knowing my own mind and making myself known)., Las posturas dogmáticas y escépticas respecto al problema de las otras mentes comparten al menos un supuesto que las convierte en las dos caras de la misma moneda: pensar que el conocimiento de las otras mentes y el de la propia mente son idénticos. Cavell discute este supuesto compartido y el del mito de lo interno convirtiendo el problema de las otras mentes en un problema de auto conocimiento (en el problema de –conocer y expresar– mi propia mente).

In South African schools various factors influence relationships between facilitators and learners, compounding their frustrations: class sizes, cultural and language barriers, and hierarchical power/knowledge relations. These problems have led to a polarisation between facilitators and learners which could cause facilitators to experience a lack of appreciation and agency. Learners participated in this qualitative study experienced themselves as without voices, and wanted to be acknowledged as people with worthwhile knowledges of their own. This report shows how the therapist and participants engaged in a participatory process of narrative co-search during individual and group conversations where social construction of knowledges and practices of acknowledgement and care, enchanced by letters and externalising conversations, led to the co-creation of a better understanding of one another. This resulted in a more caring, supportive and acknowledging school community, where facilitators re-connected with their preferred stories, and learners found acknowledgement for their own knowledge and preferred ways of living.
