The blind spots of secularization
No full textAccording to several international surveys Spain is among the western countries with the most negative views of Jews. While quantitative data on the topic accumulates, there is a significant lack of interpretative approaches that might explain the particular Spanish case. This paper presents the background, methodology and major results of a discussion group-based study on antisemitism, which was conducted in Spain in the autumn of 2009. The study identifies and locates in different socio-economic and ideological milieus the range of stereotypical discourses on Jews, Judaism and the Arab–Israeli conflict in Spain. Analysis of the group meetings shows that, despite growing secularization in Spanish society, the central explanatory variable for persisting and resurging antisemitism in this country is still religion in a broad cultural sense.N

A comparative analysis of Andre Gide's Oedipe and Ola Rotimi's The Gods Are Not to Blame, 2000
No full textAlthough there have been numerous and varied treatments of Oedipus throughout the ages, there is to date no detailed analytical study of myth based on Andre Gides Oedine and Ola Rotimis The Gods Are Not to Blame. This study is a critical analysis of these two dramatic texts, which have been reworked from fifth century Greek tragedy. The principal aim is to compare these two plays taken from different cultures, in an effort to show that they both have a common originSophocles Oedipus the King. Through this comparison, the author wishes to show that each playwright presents Oedipus as a classic, which transcends cultural boundaries, thus making Sophocles drama a classic work in world literature. The study is presented in four chapters. The first chapter serves as an introduction, which deals with the origin of the Oedipus theme and some of the major writers who helped to popularize it. This chapter will also present references, theses and other critical works written on the plays in question. The second and third chapters deal with the plays of each playwright: Oedipe by Andre Gide and The Gods Are Not to Blame by Ola Rotimi. Each chapter will include a brief sketch of the authors life, a resume of the plays, and the development of major and minor characters. The fourth chapter will deal with the similarities and the contrasts in the plays and will also serve as the conclusion
Kva effekt har fysisk trening for barn med autismespekterforstyrring
No full textSamandrag
Introduksjon: Regelmessig fysisk aktivitet representerer eit stort potensial i førebygging og behandling. Samstundes er fysisk inaktivitet ei aukande utfordring i samfunnet. Barn med autismespekterforstyrring (AFS) kan ha behov for at nokon inkluderer, stimulerer og legg til rette for tilstrekkeleg fysisk aktivitet.
Hensikt: Denne oppgåva har som hensikt å undersøke kva effekt fysisk trening har på barn med autismespekterforstyrring.
Metode: Litteraturstudie er brukt for å samle inn og sette saman relevante forskingsartiklar. Studien inkluderer fem fagfellevurderte artiklar i tillegg til annan relevant litteratur. Fire av forskingsartiklane er randomiserte, kontrollerte studiar. Den femte artikkelen er ein intervensjonsstudie.
Resultat: Alle dei fem forskingsartiklane viser at fysisk aktivitet har positiv effekt for barn med ASF. Funna fordeler seg på tema åtferd, metabolsk helse, eksekutive funksjonar, søvn og emosjonsregulering. Noko av den positive effekten kan oppsummerast slik: reduksjon i problemåtferd, førebygging av metabolske helseutfordringar, betre søvnmønster og betring i emosjonsregulering.
Konklusjon: Fysisk trening bidrar til betre helse på fleire område for barn med ASF. Positive funn er gjort på områda åtferd, regulering av emosjonar, søvnmønster, metabolsk helse og eksekutive funksjonar. Kunnskapen om at fysisk trening har positiv effekt også for barn med ASF er relevant for det vernepleiarfaglege arbeidet.

Introduction: Regular physical activity represents a great potential in prevention and treatment. Physical inactivity is a growing challenge in the society. Children with ASD can need that someone includes, stimulates, organizes the right amount of physical activity.
Purpose: The purpose of this report is to examine the effect of physical exercise in children with ASD.
Method: A literature study is used to find relevant research articles. The study includes five different peer-reviewed research articles as well as other relevant literature. Four of the five research articles are randomized controlled trials. The fifth article is an intervention study.
Results: All five research articles show a positive outcome from physical
activity for children with ASD. The findings are divided into the topics of behavior, metabolic health, executive functions, sleep and emotional regulation. Some of the positive effects can be summarized as follows: reduction in problem behavior, prevention of metabolic health challenges, better sleep patterns and improvement in emotional regulation.
Conclusion: Physical exercise contributes to better health in many areas for children with ASD. Positive findings have been made in the area of behaviour, emotional regulation, sleep patterns, metabolic health and executive functions. The knowledge that physical exercise has a positive effect in children with ASD is relevant to social educators.
Key words: Autism, physical activity and exercise, behaviour, sleep, metabolic health, emotional regulation and executive functions
A tale of two Islandoras
No full textThe University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) and the University of Waterloo (UW) represent two distinct experiences on the road to implementing Islandora – one pioneered its development and the other is launching the digital asset management framework for the first time. The Islandora project is a tool of transformation. At UPEI, it has facilitated learning, enabled and expanded partnerships, funding opportunities, research collaborations, and community engagement, while producing a legacy of platform versions, customized websites, and infrastructure that is unsustainable given existing resources. At UW, it represents a new effort to plan, implement, and scale a presentation and preservation service that leverages the experiences and best practices established by the Islandora community. This presentation will examine the opportunities and challenges that arise when working with Islandora. Focus will be placed on lessons learned, project sustainability and establishing a way forward by contrasting the experiences of first-time and advanced implementers
Towards indigenous policy and practice: A Tuvaluan framework for wellbeing, Ola Lei
No full textABSTRACT: Ola Lei ‘wellbeing’ is an ethnographically derived framework that builds upon Tuvaluan cultural concepts and practices. It has value as a conceptual model by which to assess and build health, education and development initiatives. Te feke ‘the octopus’ represents what Tuvaluans think and do about wellbeing, based on ethnographic research by the first author. Like the octopus, this framework is dynamic and adaptable, illustrating how wellbeing intertwines with social, cultural, economic and spiritual life, with education, with land and ocean. After describing the components of Ola Lei and how they were derived from participant observation and interviews, we suggest applications in policy and practice. The Ola Lei Framework articulated here provides an example of scholars taking indigenous concepts seriously as theory
