Conducting a Rural Utah Needs Assessment for Six County Area Agency on Aging: Establishing a Foundation for Future Caregiver Initiatives
No full textThe senior population living in rural communities desiring to "age in place" will increase significantly in the next three decades. Local Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) should prepare to meet this growth by providing programs and services to assist caregivers, especially those caring for people with Alzheimer\u27s disease and other related dementias (ADRD). Developing and delivering a needs assessment based on the caregivers\u27 perspective is foundational for evaluating existing programs, identifying unmet needs, and designing effective programs to meet those needs in the future. The purpose of this project is to develop and deliver a needs assessment to dementia caregivers residing in the Six County area. This needs assessment will be used to identify needed dementia and caregiver education and resources and to propose recommendations to the Six County AAA. These recommendations would address the unmet needs of caregivers of people with dementia. An online survey with both quantitative and qualitative items was completed by 85 self-identified caregivers from Utah living in Juab, Millard, Piute, Sanpete, Sevier, and Wayne counties. The data were then systematically analyzed revealing 1) underutilized AAA programs, 2) a lack of information about available resources, and 3) a request for services that address the needs of caregivers, including emotional support like respite care and support groups; education classes about dementia behavior, Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans\u27 benefits; and a transportation system for older adults unable to drive. The results of this survey will inform the future creation of a Caregiver Advisory Council which will be instrumental in designing and implementing programs and services to increase the quality of life for caregivers in the targeted counties

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: esboço de biografia
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2015.Este esboço de biografia procura citar algumas imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: construções biográficas de naturezas múltiplas, elaboradas em contextos, por atores e sob condições igualmente díspares. Está constituído a partir de uma visão crítica da História, o que permite que ?outras imagens?, fragmentárias e não monumentais, também tenham espaço. Em diálogo com o princípio da montagem, este esboço apresenta-se em duas partes. Na primeira, Imagens possíveis, estão citadas as imagens elaboradas em vida e post mortem acerca do austríaco-brasileiro que nasceu em Viena em 1900, se exilou no Brasil em 1939 e morreu no Rio de Janeiro, em 1978. Na segunda, Montagens possíveis, apresentam-se duas possibilidades de exercício biográfico: pela leitura alegórica do documentário O velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), entendido como instrumento de intervenção no contexto ditatorial brasileiro e de uma reelaboração biográfica concernentes às suas experiências europeias; e pelo Caderno de imagens críticas, registro dos encontros em Carpeaux pelo meio de imagens críticas produzidas a partir da cesura do presente.Abstract : This biographical sketch attempts to quote some images of Otto Maria Carpeaux: various types of biographical constructions, carried out in different contexts by disparate authors under conditions just as distinct. It stems from a critical view of history, allowing for ?other images? fragmented and non-monumental ? to share the space.In dialogue with the montage principle, this sketch has two parts. The first, Possible Images, quotes the images produced during and after the life of the Austrian-Brazilian, who was born in Vienna in 1900, went to Brazil in exile in 1939 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 1978. The second part, Possible Montages, presents two possibilities of a biographical exercise: through the allegorical reading of documentary O Velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), understood as an instrument of intervention in the Brazilian dictatorship context and as a biographical retelling of the author?s European experiences; and through my Scrapbook of Critical Images, a record of the encounters in Carpeaux through critical images produced from the caesura of the present
Renal Function and Maternal Programming: A Literature Review
No full textELISABETH RICKS (Animal Science) Renal Function and Maternal Programming: A Literature Review Sponsor: Maria Hoffman (Fisheries, Animal and Veterinary Sciences) The development of renal function is highly determined during pregnancy. The kidney regulates filtration and excretion of minerals and toxins, fluid homeostasis, and helps to regulate blood pressure. The external environment experienced by the mother can determine how the offspring grows and develops. This is a phenomenon known as maternal programming. Different factors such as nutrition, growth restriction, and exposure to disease during pregnancy can result in metabolic consequences of the kidney. Exposure to certain diets in particular is shown to have negative consequences, especially genetically. Gene expression regulation is often affected. This expression is often irreversible and programmed into an offspring, hence why it is important to understand the best way to treat mothers during pregnancy. This research impacts domestic and production animal health. Health of animals is important as they are our food supply and companions. Biomedical research is also possible as the same effect is experienced by humans. Many articles have applications in human medicine, especially surrounding hypertension, a chronic issue in the United States. This review aims to discuss current research in maternal programming of the kidney in the field of animal research. It is complementary to a calf study conducted at the University of Rhode Island and allows for a deeper understanding of the project and therefore better research methodologies for an undergraduate student
Maria José ao encontro de Tchekov
No full text“A Carta da Corcunda para o Serralheiro” (“Letter from the Hunchback Girl to the Metalworker”), signed by Maria José, was first performed in a theatre show in 1988 (by actress-director Maria do Céu Guerra), two years before the typescript was published in book form for the first time by Teresa Rita Lopes. The evidence upon which this article is built is that it was the theatre that revealed the dramatic destination of this singular epistle of the only female heteronym that Fernando Pessoa invented, which was also the last heteronym to be created by the author. The dramatic construction of Maria José can be approximated to the character-building strategies in Anton Chekhov’s realist dramaturgy, in a way that differs from Pessoa’s other dramaturgical experiences. The analysis of Chekhov’s ascendancy over Stanislavski’s research, as well as the importance of Schopenhauer’s conception of the tragicomic, which is simultaneously projected onto Chekhov’s theatre and Maria José’s profile, are favourable lines of reading for this rapprochement between Pessoa and the Russian fiction writer and playwright. Pessoa’s readings of Chekhov’s texts (such as the play Uncle Vania and the short story “Vanka”) provide relevant data for assessing the magnitude of this encounter.“A Carta da Corcunda para o Serralheiro”, assinada por Maria José, começou por ser difundida num espectáculo de teatro em 1988 (pela actriz-encenadora Maria do Céu Guerra) dois anos antes de o dactiloscrito se ver publicado em livro, pela primeira vez, por Teresa Rita Lopes. Parte-se da evidência de ter sido o teatro a revelar a destinação dramática da epístola singular do único heterónimo mulher que Fernando Pessoa inventou, que terá sido também o último a ser criado pelo autor. A construção dramática de Maria José pode ser aproximada às estratégias de construção de personagem na dramaturgia realista de Anton Tchekov, de um modo que se distingue de outras experiências dramatúrgicas de Pessoa. A análise do ascendente de Tchekov sobre as pesquisas de Stanislavski, bem como a importância da concepção de tragicómico em Schopenhauer, que se projecta em simultâneo sobre o teatro de Tchekov e sobre o perfil de Maria José, são linhas de leitura propícias para esta aproximação entre Pessoa e o ficcionista e dramaturgo russo. As leituras de textos de Tchekov por parte de Pessoa (como o caso da peça Tio Vânia e o conto “Vanka”) fornecem dados relevantes para avaliar a magnitude deste encontro
