Partner Facilitation and Partner Interference in Individuals' Weight Loss Goals
No full textDrawing on the logic of the relational turbulence model, this study examined the ways in which romantic partners facilitate and interfere with individuals’ weight loss goals. Participants (N = 122) described the ways in which their romantic partner had recently helped or hindered their weight loss at four times over the course of 2 months. We conducted a content analysis of responses to identify themes of partner facilitation (Research Question 1 [RQ1]) and partner interference (RQ2) in individuals’ weight loss goals. Results revealed seven themes of partner facilitation: (a) partner enabling diet, (b) motivation and encouragement, (c) emotional support and positive reinforcement, (d) exercising together, (e) partner enabling exercise, (f) dieting together, and (g) relationship influence and priorities. Four themes of partner interference emerged in the data: (a) inability to plan for healthy meals, (b) inability to control the food environment, (c) preventing or discouraging exercise, and (d) emotional or relational discouragement.Peer reviewe

A interação texto/imagem em duas traduções de Flicts para o inglês
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2013.Abstract : This study aims to investigate two translations of FLICTS, first children's book written by Ziraldo and first full-colored album for children produced in Brazil, with a view to discussing the different interactions between text and image that might occur within the translation of children's literature. Considered a landmark in Brazilian Children's Literature since its launch in 1969, its British version was translated by Silvia Caruana and published by the publishing house Roger Schlesinger in 1973 and its American English version was translated by Daniela Pinto, originally published by Melbooks in 1984 - subsequently also published by Editora Melhoramentos and commercialized in Brazil. The theoretical framework informing the study is based on the interface of Descriptive Translation Studies, Translation of Children's Literature and the Grammar of Visual Design. By the analyses of a multimodal corpus and a dossier about the history of this printed book, it was possible to note that the several changes along FLICTS publishing history have made up other possible readings on this work
'A little easy and modern for the times' : a documentary of productions of Ben Jonson's plays by major professional theatre companies in England, 1977-2000
No full textThis thesis is a collation and discussion of productions of Ben Jonson's plays in
England between 1977 and 2000. It focuses on mainstream theatre productions.
Therefore, amateur and Fringe productions, adaptations and productions by
small-scale theatre companies are not included. It contains previously unreleased
material of interviews with theatre practitioners who have been instrumental in
staging the productions covered.
Whilst scholarship has concentrated on recent productions of
Shakespeares, tudies in Jonsonianp erformanceh ave been neglected.W ith the
recent resurgence in popularity of Jonson's texts in the English theatre repertoire,
it is now pertinent to assessth e methodsu sed to staget he work of this
playwright. This thesis focuses only on the staging of texts presented between the
two dates; this does not cover all of Jonson's texts. Contained in two volumes,
Part One raises issues of performance, whilst in Part Two productions are
considered within chapters on each play. An Afterword (in Volume One)
considers the future of production and the action needed to be taken for future
progression in performance and performance studies. The Appendix (in Volume
One) contains detailed venue information. The thesis is intended as a
documented record of productions, in order to stimulate future research into
Jonsonian performance methods. By examining recent productions the failures
and successeso f the contemporaryt heatre's approacht o Jonsonh ave been noted.
This will contribute to an understanding of how Jonson's texts continue to work
on stage. The title of this thesis comes from Bartholomew Fair, a play that
addressesth e need to assimilatet he presentationo f theatre within contemporary
concerns
The human-dog relationship in early medieval England and Ireland (c. AD 400-1250)
No full textThis thesis aims to explore the human-dog relationship in early medieval England and Ireland (c. AD 400-1250) and so develop an improved understanding of how people perceived and utilised their dogs. In 1974, Ralph Harcourt published a seminal paper reviewing the metrical data for archaeological dog remains excavated from British antiquity. Nearly forty years on, many more dog bones have been excavated and recorded. His results from the Anglo-Saxon period illustrated that the degree of skeletal variability had reduced after the end of the Roman occupation, with an increase in the average size. He also observed two distinct groups in the estimated shoulder height measurements.The key areas that have been considered include: dog functionality, morphology, and treatment. Influences that may have led to changes in people’s perception of dogs during this time period have been examined. Differences between England and Ireland are assessed, but variation in recording methods has meant the data obtained on the Irish dogs were limited. An interdisciplinary approach has been taken, combining archaeological, historical and anthrozoological information. New evidence has shown that humans’ relationships with dogs were more complex and varied than previous research would suggest, especially in the treatment of dogs at their death. This was particularly evident in England, where a change in the burial location of dogs was observed from the end of the seventh century, and could be linked to the development of Christianity and its negative teachings towards the dog. More metrical data from English sites have shown that the two distinct groups observed in Harcourt’s Anglo- Saxon results were no longer apparent

Author(ity) figures : anxieties of authorship, freedom, and control
No full textWhat is the nature of the narrative act? Is the author a god? A pawn? In the fictive realm, who can wield creative and authorial control? The author? The characters? The reader? All of them? In five novels--John Fowles\u27s THE French Lieutenant\u27s Woman and Martin Amis\u27s Other People, Money, London Fields, and The Information, these issues are addressed--implicitly arid explicitly--by the author-figures and author-doubles that inhabit and interact within them. Far from defining an airtight vision of authorship, Fowles\u27s and Amis\u27s author-figures expose the anxieties inherent in the narrative act, as well as its complicated links to the paradoxes of control and powerlessness, and of death and life. Gone is the Author-God of the Victorian novel. What we seem to be left with is a modulation of this authorial divinity--as the narrator of The French Lieutenant\u27s Woman says--in the new theological image, where freedom and control are as terrifying as they are essential. This thesis will examine the tensions and contradictions with which these novels characterize the writing act and will incorporate critical texts by Friedrich Nietzsche, Roland Barthes, and Michel Foucault to help frame the possible origins of these author-anxieties
