Spinal cord injury and outdoor experiences
No full textAnecdotal evidence from spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation clients suggests that nature experiences and outdoor pursuits are valued ingredients in a SCI rehabilitation program, in particular for those individuals who were outdoor enthusiasts pre-injury and/or who sustained their injury during outdoor pursuits. Model SCI centres in North America offer outdoor activities as components of SCI rehabilitation. A literature review on the effects and dynamics of nature experiences and outdoor pursuits in SCI rehabilitation and adjustment reveals a lacuna of empirical research in this area. Studies on leisure and recreation following SCI offer insights into how nonvocational rehabilitation activities assist functional independence, quality of life, and community re-integration. Systematic research is needed to ascertain the value and contribution of outdoor experiences in SCI rehabilitation; further, research is needed to document how contact with 'blue-green nature' may assist in the identity reconstruction process and in adjustment to life with a physical disability.PT: J; CR: BERINGER A, 2000, 2 INT ADV THER C AUG BROWN M, 2002, TOPICS SPINAL CORD I, V7, P83 BROZLY H, 1987, STORIES SICKNESS CALDWELL LL, 1994, ANN THERAPEUTIC RECR, V5, P13 CARLSON D, 2002, TOPICS SPINAL CORD I, V7 CARPENTER C, 1994, PHYS THER, V74, P11 COYLE CP, 1990, THERAPEUTIC RECREATI, V24, P64 COYLE CP, 1993, THERAPEUTIC RECREATI, V27, P239 COYLE CP, 1994, REHABIL PSYCHOL, V39, P95 CUSHMAN L, 1991, J REHABIL, V57, P35 DATTILO J, 1998, THERAPEUTIC RECREATI, V32, P13 DIJKERS M, 2002, TOPICS SPINAL CORD I, V7 DUFF K, 1994, ALCHEMY ILLNESS FOUGEYROLLAS P, 2002, TOP SPINAL CORD INJ, V7, P1 FRUMKIN P, 2001, AM J PREV MED, V20, P234 GOLDSTEIN M, 1996, THESIS NEW YORK U GORDON WA, 1997, AM REHABILITATIONM, V23, P11 HANNAFORD S, 1985, LIVING OUTSIDE INSID HENDERSON KA, 1994, THERAPEUTIC RECREATI, V28, P73 HENDERSON KA, 1995, RES Q EXERCISE SPORT, V66, P151 KAHN PH, 2002, CHILDREN NATURE KENDALL E, 1998, J REHABIL, V64, P16 KIDNER DW, 1994, ENVIRON ETHICS, V16, P359 KLEIBER DA, 1995, J LEISURE RES, V27, P283 LAUWERS V, 2003, PARASAIL VISION QUES LEE Y, 1993, THERAPEUTIC RECREATI, V27, P200 LEE Y, 1996, J PHYS ED RECREATION, V67, P64 LEE Y, 1996, LEISURE SCI, V18, P209 LEE Y, 1999, THERAPEUTIC RECREATI, V33, P122 LYONS RF, 1987, J LEISURABILITY, V14, P4 LYONS RF, 1991, ADV PERSONAL RELATIO, V3, P233 LYONS RF, 1993, CANADIAN J REHABILIT, V6, P256 LYONS RF, 1995, RELATIONSHIPS CHRONI MACDONALD W, 1999, ONE STEP MCAWEENEY MJ, 1996, J REHABIL, V62, P29 METZNER R, PLACE STORY BIOREGIO MONTGOMERIE A, 1999, ABILITIES, V39, P46 MOORE T, 1991, CRY DAMAGED MAN MURPHY RF, 1987, BODY SILENT NELSON AL, 1990, SCI NURS, V7, P44 NELSON AL, 1990, THESIS U FLORIDA NOREAU L, 2002, TOPICS SPINAL CORD I, V7 NOSEK MA, 2001, J REHABIL, V67, P20 OSKAMP S, 2000, AM PSYCHOL, V55, P496 PASEK PB, 1995, AM J OCCUPATIONAL TH, V50, P24 ROHE DE, 1996, TOPICS SPINAL CORD I, V2 SACKS O, 1984, LEG STAND SACKS O, 1985, MAN WHO MISTOOK HIS SACKS O, 1990, AWAKENINGS SEYMOUR W, 1989, BODILY A LTERATIONS SEYMOUR W, 1998, REMAKING BODY REHABI SHIRADO O, 1995, AM J PHYS MED REHAB, V74, P408 SPENCER J, 1995, AM J OCCUP THER, V49, P53 STERN PC, 2000, AM PSYCHOL, V55, P523 STILGOE JR, 2001, AM J PREV MED, V20, P243 TAYLOR LPS, 1996, AM J OCCUP THER, V50, P39 TRIESCHMANN R, 1988, SPINAL CORD INJURIES TRIESCHMANN RB, 1992, PARAPLEGIA, V30, P58 WEBRE AW, 1990, CANOEING KAYAKING PE WELLMAN MR, 1996, CLIMBING BACK WINTER DDN, 2000, AM PSYCHOL, V55, P516; NR: 61; TC: 1; J9: INT J REHABIL RES; PG: 9; GA: 809XESource type: Electronic(1
In search of the sacred: a conceptual analysis of spirituality
No full textA conceptual analysis of spirituality reveals "the sacred" to be fundamental to understanding spirituality, discusses the two notions of broad and specific spirituality, considers modes of human consciousness and functioning that make spiritual experience possible, and alerts experiential educators of the implications of venturing into spiritual experience and spiritual/religious education.

On adventure therapy and the natural worlds: respecting nature's healing
No full textThe anthropomorphic paradigm in psychology and psychotherapy has prevented nature from being considered a factor in the curative relationship in adventure therapy. The effectiveness of therapeutic interventions are credited instead to human factors such as program design and facilitation. A paradigm shift is needed in adventure therapy to accept and honor the healing powers of nature. (Contains 50 references.) (TD

No full textProbing BERT for Ranking Abilities
No full textContextual models like BERT are highly effective in numerous text-ranking tasks. However, it is still unclear as to whether contextual models understand well-established notions of relevance that are central to IR. In this paper, we use probing, a recent approach used to analyze language models, to investigate the ranking abilities of BERT-based rankers. Most of the probing literature has focussed on linguistic and knowledge-aware capabilities of models or axiomatic analysis of ranking models. In this paper, we fill an important gap in the information retrieval literature by conducting a layer-wise probing analysis using four probes based on lexical matching, semantic similarity as well as linguistic properties like coreference resolution and named entity recognition. Our experiments show an interesting trend that BERT-rankers better encode ranking abilities at intermediate layers. Based on our observations, we train a ranking model by augmenting the ranking data with the probe data to show initial yet consistent performance improvements (The code is available at https://github.com/yolomeus/probing-search/ ).Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Web Information System
Drawing From the Museum's Ruins
No full textThis thesis project is based on an examination and critique of the cultural history museum's exhibition space, working outside of its traditional rules, functions and typologies. The imaginative process and potential of drawing is re-activated by a final installation based work in the physical exhibit space. Implicating the viewer within a possible future for the museum, this thesis project deconstructs assumptions of how we view and interpret the past in a normative and embodied museum experience. Located within my interrelated practices as an exhibit designer and artist, this thesis project focuses on my art practice, with the concept of the ruin resonating as an aesthetic trope for re-imagining the museum exhibition space. My research functions within a related temporal and theoretical spiral, building the foundations for my thesis project from such diverse drawing and installation based art practices as Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968), Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778), and Pablo Bronstein (1977). I am redrawing fragments of established discourses and exhibit archetypes within the politicized and contested history that frames our habituated expectations of the museum as a cultural experience. Through the potentiality of ideas and propositions, my final drawing and installation based work use the blank space to re-imagine our blank relationship with the blank museum. Both my thesis and art practice are an idiosyncratic response to the physical and ideological thresholds of the museum, rupturing a pictorial space within the conceptual ruin of the museological frame.SpaceArt gallerie
