Balance And Blockage: The Coexistence Of Various Theories Of Health In Antonio Benivieni’S De Abditis Nonnullis Ac Mirandis Morborum Et Sanationum Causis, Patricia Raciti
Balance And Blockage: The Coexistence Of Various Theories Of Health In Antonio Benivieni’S De Abditis Nonnullis Ac Mirandis Morborum Et Sanationum Causis, Patricia Raciti
Quill & Scope
Faced with sick patients, 15th-century physicians grappled not only with the oddities of their observations, but also the myriad of theories they inherited from ancient physicians from Hippocrates to Galen, often trying to unite what they saw with theories they had been taught. One such Florentine physician, Antonio Benivieni, wrote about his experiences in short vignettes of his patients, demonstrating that various theories were not mutually exclusive, but in fact, engaged in dynamic interaction. Rather than demonstrating the ‘simple mindedness’ of the Renaissance physician, Benivieni’s work represents an attempt at reconciling the many notions of disease that occupy the medical …
Cracking The Cracked Knuckle, John Gaetano
Cracking The Cracked Knuckle, John Gaetano
Quill & Scope
The ‘old wives tale’ that habitual knuckle cracking leads to arthritis may now be considered myth. However, an investigation into the cause of the cracking sound and other long-term effects may not be as trivial. The following discussion presents two popular theories for the cause of the crack, and asks questions that may support or challenge either theory. In addition, several clinical trials are examined for evidence of the long-term sequelae. While this topic may not receive much attention (or funding dollars), it remains valid, as patients still commonly inquire about this habit and its consequences.
The Anomaly Of Racial Variance In Female Perpetrated Spousal Killing: A Structural Explanation, Mark Melder
The Anomaly Of Racial Variance In Female Perpetrated Spousal Killing: A Structural Explanation, Mark Melder
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
ABSTRACT Research investigating the relationship of structural factors to homicide abounds in the literature. There is also extant research on female perpetrated intimate partner killings (IPK). However this literature for the most part has examined the phenomenon itself, or has disaggregated the rates by race, where it was discovered that there is a racial anomaly in intimate killings, Black females kill their partners at a higher rate than White females. This research sought to determine how structural factors function to differentially amplify this rate, using classic controls for homicide and adding measures for the presence of female kin, the presence …
Brief Alcohol Interventions For College Drinkers: How Brief Is Brief?, Magdalena Kulesza
Brief Alcohol Interventions For College Drinkers: How Brief Is Brief?, Magdalena Kulesza
LSU Master's Theses
Brief interventions for college student drinkers have been shown to be effective in reducing the amount of alcohol consumed as well as the number of alcohol-related problems. However, the duration of brief interventions varies substantially across studies. In the present study 22 undergraduate students who drank alcohol heavily were randomly assigned to a 10-minute brief intervention, a 50-minute brief intervention, or a six week wait-list control group. The content of the active interventions was based on the same concept, and both interventions incorporated motivational interviewing components. As hypothesized, there was a significant difference between participants in the two active interventions …
Transition Experiences Of Selected Emerging Adults With Emotional And Behavioral Difficulties In Higher Education, Kathleen M. Fowler
Transition Experiences Of Selected Emerging Adults With Emotional And Behavioral Difficulties In Higher Education, Kathleen M. Fowler
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Transitioning into adulthood is an exciting and challenging time for emerging adults, and is even more difficult for young adults with emotional and behavioral difficulties (EBD). Even though the number of transition-aged individuals with EBD is significant, few studies have explored the experiences of this population engaged in educational activities, and there is limited information regarding the personal experiences of emerging adults with EBD. The purpose of the study is to acquire a better understanding of the experiences of young adults diagnosed with an EBD who are working toward their academic goals. Further, this study may give voice to individuals …

Exploring The Pap Smear Experiences Of Women Aged 18 To 25 : Moving From Intention To Action, Gemma Malatesta
Theses : Honours
The aim of this research was to explore the Pap smear experiences of young women aged 18 to 25. The effectiveness of Pap smear screening and the barriers to obtaining one have been well researched. However, there is limited information in the literature on young women's experiences of Pap smear screening and the context in which they move from intending to be screened to actually undertaking the screening. This qualitative study, underpinned by a constructivist paradigm informed by a feminist epistemology, consisted of eight semi structured interviews with young women who had participated in Pap smear screening. Data analysis using …

This paper provides a review of the research examining mathematical learning, skill acquisition and transfer of skills in a mathematical context. Pertinent theories in the field of cognitive skill acquisition are examined for their ability to explain transfer of skill. The review focuses on factors that influence the …
The Role Of Sex, Gender Role, And Extraversion-Introversion In Explaining The Experience, Expression And Control Of Anger, James Oliver
The Role Of Sex, Gender Role, And Extraversion-Introversion In Explaining The Experience, Expression And Control Of Anger, James Oliver
Theses : Honours
Anger is a frequently experienced emotion that has been shown to influence perceptions, beliefs, ideas, reasoning, and ultimately choices and actions. It has the potential to become a serious problem if it reaches dysfunctional levels. This study examines the role of biological sex, gender role, and extraversion-introversion in the expression, experience and control of anger. A sample of 110 persons drawn from the Australian community were administered the Staxi-2, EPQ-R and the BSRI. Results showed that extraversion-introversion accounted for most variance associated with anger expression, while gender role accounted for most variance associated with anger control. Biological sex was not …
Self-Efficacy, Sense Of Belonging And Social Support As Predictors Of Resilience In Adolescents, Anna Nowicki
Self-Efficacy, Sense Of Belonging And Social Support As Predictors Of Resilience In Adolescents, Anna Nowicki
Theses : Honours
Adolescence has been described as a period of many physical, cognitive and psychosocial changes. During such a tumultuous time some adolescents cope better than others with life stressors, and these individuals can be considered resilient. The degree to which a person is resilient can be influenced and determined by protective factors, including social support, sense of belonging and self-efficacy. Positive social support has been identified as a buffer that protects individuals from the negative effects of stressful life situations. A strong sense of belonging has positively reflected adolescents' motivation, participation and ability to relate to their environment. Self-efficacy has also …
An Exploration Of Social Engagement To Promote Quality Of Life For People With A Spinal Cord Injury: Exploring The Need For A Virtual Community, Leah Bulloch
Theses : Honours
A spinal cord injury (SCI) can significantly alter a person's lifestyle and choices in both the short and long term. An essential area of a person's quality of life (QOL) is that of social engagement, which according to Bath and Gardiner (2005) is made up of social support, social participation and social networks. Studies have shown that although the Internet and virtual communities have the ability to provide social engagement there is little literature covering the area of how they can be used to aid the development of social engagement amongst people living with an SCI post rehabilitation. The aim …

The note uncovers the realities of access to legal rights and remedies in connection to medical care for the transgender community, whose vastly diverse needs and …
Post Trauma: Cambodian Refugees And Social Security's Disability Fraud Investigations, Theodore Mccombs
Post Trauma: Cambodian Refugees And Social Security's Disability Fraud Investigations, Theodore Mccombs
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice
Since 2003, the Oakland, California unit of Social Security's Cooperative Disability Investigations program has targeted certain Cambodian refugee applicants with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Depression for fraud investigations. The practices of Social Security's anti-fraud program in Oakland reveal disturbing disadvantages to Cambodian refugee applicants in particular, including institutional prejudices in Social Security's rules and Cooperative Disability Investigative agents' gross insensitivity to claimants' impairments and cultural realities. This note examines these disadvantages under the legal norms of national origin discrimination, disability discrimination, and due process, and concludes with a policy proposal on how Social Security might better protect claimants' rights and …
