Between Languages and Selves: Migratory Agency, Fragmentation and Representation in Suheir Hammad's breaking poems
No full textFor a number of Palestinian-American authors such as Nathalie Handal, Lisa Suhair Majaj, and Naomi Shihab Nye, the configuration of poetry as homeland dwells between the unspeakable pain of forced exile and the organic capabilities of language. Their poetry is thus the site of infinite tensions informed not only by this duality but also by their ambiguous location as hyphenated subjects in the United States. Among such authors, Suheir Hammad stands out for her daring, experimental expression of these tensions, which are at the heart of her recent poetry collection, breaking poems (2008). This collection speaks to the process of fragmentation of language, identity, and belonging from within as it tests the demarcation line between word and sound, enunciation and silence. Framed by tensions between forms of breaking and acts of verbal reconstruction, my paper explores experimental poetic strategies of confrontation with the legacy of grief, occupation, and silencing in breaking poems. To this end, it probes the fluid movement of the poetic self between histories, ethnicities, and languages. Drawing on postcolonial theory, Juan Bruce-Novoa's study of interlingualism, and Michael Dowdy's notion of migratory agency, my paper follows the poetic persona in her wanderings in the labyrinth of the poem-body-word, to achieve a better understanding of hertransformative practices aiming at creating interstitial and interlingual spaces. Such spaces,I argue, represent hyphenated interventions into what Hammad calls the emperor's missionand language, where the exilic self juggles Arab and American cultural contexts to create cross-cultural poetic and linguistic structures projecting silenced aspects of Arab-American culture. © Author 2011.Akash Munir, 1999, POST GIBRAN ANTHOLOG, P139; al-Hout Bayan Nuwayhed, 2004, SABRA SHATILA SEPTEM; Anglesey Zoe, 1999, LISTEN; [Anonymous], 1989, DEF 1 OED; [Anonymous], 2010, OED; Boyce Dale, 1996, MOTHER COURAGE LEBON; Brogan Jacqueline V., 1997, SPEAKI0
Person-Centred care of a patient with Alzheimer´s dementia
No full textUvod: Alzheimerjeva demenca je med vsemi oblikami demence najpogostejša. Pristop na osebo osredotočene oskrbe temelji na oblikovanju zdravih odnosov med izvajalci oskrbe, uporabniki storitev in drugimi, ki so pomembni v njihovem življenju. Namen zaključnega dela je bil ugotoviti, kako takšen pristop vpliva na kakovost življenja pacientov z Alzheimerjevo demenco.
Metode: Pregledana je bila znanstvena literatura v mednarodnih podatkovnih bazah MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science in SAGE. Za analizo in sintezo rezultatov smo uporabili pristop po Thomas in Harden. Upoštevane so bile smernice PRISMA.
Rezultati: Od 575 identificiranih zadetkov je bilo v končno analizo vključenih 7 raziskav in identificiranih 6 sekundarnih tem, povezanih z vplivom na osebo osredotočene oskrbe pacientov z Alzheimerjevo demenco na kakovost življenja: vzpostavljanje ljubečih odnosovpodpiranje dostojanstvaskupno ukvarjanje s pomembnimi dejavnostmiprilagajanje razvijajočim se potrebamizboljšanje dobrega počutja in kakovosti življenjaobvladovanje simptomov in neželenih učinkov antipsihotikov.
Razprava in sklep: Na osebo osredotočena oskrba pozitivno vpliva na ohranitev in krepitev kakovosti življenja pacienta z Alzheimerjevo demenco. Pomembno je, da se takšna oskrba zaradi narave bolezni skozi različne faze začne dovolj zgodaj in da so oskrbovanci/negovalci ter pacientovi bližnji poučeni o njenih načelih in pristopih.Introduction: Alzheimer\u27s dementia is the most common among all forms of dementia. The person-centred care approach is based on forming healthy relationships among caregivers, service users, and others who are important in their lives. The purpose of this thesis was to determine how such an approach influences the quality of life of patients with Alzheimer\u27s dementia.
Methods: We reviewed scientific literature from international databases, including MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and SAGE, following PRISMA guidelines. The Thomas & Harden approach was used for the analysis and synthesis of results.
Results: Out of 575 identified hits, we included 7 studies in the final analysis and identified 6 secondary themes related to the impact of person-centred care for patients with Alzheimer\u27s dementia on the quality of life: establishing loving relationshipssupporting dignityengaging in meaningful activities togetheradapting to evolving needsenhancing well-being and quality of lifemanaging symptoms and side effects of antipsychotics.
Discussion and Conclusion: Person-centred care positively influences the preservation and enhancement of the quality of life for patients with Alzheimer\u27s dementia. It is crucial for such care to commence early due to the nature of the disease through different stages, and caregivers as well as the patient\u27s close ones should be educated on its principles and approaches.

Synchronization of Harb-Zohdy Chaotic System via Back-Stepping Design
No full textThis paper is concerned with the problem of synchronization
of the Harb-Zohdy chaotic system using the back-stepping. Based
on the stability theory, the control for the synchronization of chaotic
systems Harb-Zohdy is considered without unknown parameters. Next,
an adaptive back-stepping control law is derived to generate an error
signal between the drive and response systems Harb-Zohdy with an uncertain
parameter asymptotically synchronized. Finally, this method is
extended to synchronize the system with two unknown parameters.
Note that the method presented here needs only one controller to realize
the synchronization. Numerical simulations indicate the effectiveness of
the proposed chaos synchronization schem
Choosing Both Faith and Fun: Youth Negotiations of Moral Norms in South Beirut
No full textChallenging both polarized depictions of Muslim youth and scholarship that over-privileges piety as a focal point in Muslims' lives, this article highlights the complexity of the moral worlds of Shi'i youth in Lebanon. Through ethnography of youth choices when going out, we argue that youth practices and discourses of morality are multiple and flexible in their deployments, perhaps especially when it comes to ideas about leisure. This interpretive flexibility may work to redefine ideas about leisure within a framework of religiosity such that some of the rules of piety itself are perceived as flexible. © 2013 Copyright Routledge Journals, Taylor and Francis.Adely F, 2009, INT J MIDDLE E STUD, V41, P372, DOI 10.1017-S0020743809091107; Agrama HA, 2010, AM ETHNOL, V37, P2, DOI 10.1111-j.1548-1425.2009.01238.x; [Anonymous], 1987, AMAL SHIA STRUGGLE S; Asad T., 1986, OCCASIONAL PAPERS SE; Bayat Asef, 2010, BEING YOUNG MUSLIM N, P26; Borneman John, 1992, BELONGING 2 BERLINS; Bucholtz M, 2002, ANNU REV ANTHROPOL, V31, P525, DOI 10.1146-annurev.anthro.31.040402.085443; Christiansen Catrine, 2006, NAVIGATING YOUTH GEN, P9; Clarke Morgan, 2009, ISLAM NEW KINSHIP RE; Cole Jennifer, 2007, GENERATIONS GLOBALIZ, P74; Deeb L, 2006, PRINC STUD MUSLIM PO, P1; Griffith R.

George Harb with friends and family at a dance in Jerusalem, 1958
No full textThis is a digital reproduction of an image held in the private collection of George Harb. This series of photograph show George Harb with friends and family at a dance in Jerusalem. The first photograph shows George Harb dancing with his cousin Mary (daughter of his paternal uncle). The second shows George Harb posing with friends. The third photograph shows George Harb with Therese Giacaman (his sister, who married Elias Giacaman).The photographs display popular 1950's fashion styles. Women's fashion was typically defined by narrow and soft shoulders, a close fitting bodice which would pull in the natural waist or slightly higher and a very full skirt or tight sheath skirt. Men wore suits that dropped straight to the hip hitting around mid-thigh. Most suits were single-breasted with long, wide lapels, and fastened up the front with two or three buttons sitting low, exposing a long necktie. This image is part of the George Harb Photos collection, within the George Harb project of the Planet Bethlehem Archive.</div
Zaseg prepovedane droge in policijsko pridržanje po Zakonu o kazenskem postopku : diplomsko delo visokošolskega strokovnega študija Varnost in policijsko delo
No full text»V poglavju o človekovih pravicah in temeljnih svoboščinah Ustave Republike Slovenije je zapisano, da ima vsakdo pravico do osebne svobode, in da se ne sme nikomur odvzeti prostost, razen v primerih in v postopku, ki jih določa zakon.« (Žaberl, 2006: 125) Ko gre za grob poseg v osebno svobodo posameznika, je nujno potrebno dobro poznavanje zakonskih predpisov, ki urejajo navedeno področje. Pri tem policisti in kriminalisti, ki se ukvarjajo z nalogami odkrivanja in preiskovanja kaznivih dejanj s področja prepovedanih drog pridejo v dilemo, kdaj so izpolnjeni pogoji »utemeljenih razlogov za sum« storitve kaznivega dejanja. Dilema je, ali zgolj zasežena snov zadostuje zakonskemu standardu »utemeljenih razlogov za sum« storitve kaznivega dejanja kljub temu, da še analiza ni bila opravljena, ali pa so utemeljeni razlogi za sum podani lahko šele po opravljeni analizi, ki potrdi, da je zasežena snov prepovedana droga.
Seveda je potrebno pri tem poudariti, da sama posest prepovedane droge ne zadostuje zakonskemu standardu »utemeljenih razlogov za sum«. Tukaj je potrebno upoštevati še druge pogoje, kot so količina, način pakiranja prepovedane droge, posest oz. uporaba pripomočkov, ki se uporabljajo pri prodaji prepovedanih drog (elektronke tehtnice, manjše PVC vrečke, zavitki ALU folije, ipd.), identifikacija kupca prepovedane droge ipd.
V takšnem policijskem postopku policist oz. kriminalist osebi še pred rezultatom analize omeji svobodo gibanja za nujno potreben čas oz. do rezultatov analize. V primeru pozitivnega rezultata, da je zasežena snov prepovedana droga, je podan pogoj za odvzem prostosti in policijsko pridržanje. Med policijskim pridržanjem in začasno omejitvijo gibanja na videz ni bistvene razlike. Ta se odraža v intenziteti posega v človekove pravice in temeljne svoboščine ter samem namenu uporabe policijskega pooblastila.“In a chapter of human rights and fundamental freedoms of the Republic Slovenia is written, that everybody has the right to personal freedom and nobody should be taken away their custody, except in cases and process that is determined by the law.” (Žaberl, 2006: 125) Because of the rough intervention in the personal freedom of individual, it is necessary to know the law regulations for this specified area very well. In this case policeman and criminal investigator, that are dealing with this assignment of discovering and researching criminal acts from forbidden drug area, often come in dilemma, when the terms are fulfilled with “justified reasons for suspect” of criminal act. The dilemma is, does simply seized substance satisfies law standard of “justified reasons for suspect” for criminal act, despite testing for forbidden drugs has not been made, or “justified reasons for suspect” appear after the positive testing for forbidden drugs.
Of course it is necessary to highlight that the possession of forbidden drugs does not satisfy the law standard of “justified reasons for suspect”. It is necessary to consider other circumstances like amount, the way of packing, possession and accessories that are used for drug dealing (electronic scales, small PVC bags, aluminum foils packages, and so on), the buyer of illegal drug identification... In particular police treatment policeman or crime detective limits personal movement for the necessary period of time before the result of analysis. In the case of positive result, that the seized substance is illegal drug, condition is given to deprivation of liberty and police custody. There seems to be no difference between police custody and deprivation of liberty. This reflects in intensity of intervention in human rights and fundamental freedom and also intended use of police powers
