The Woman-State conflict: a deconstruction of fetal rights discourse and its damaging effect on women's reproductive rights
No full textReproductive rights have been historically steeped in “moral” discourse. The “morality” involves anti-choice policy makers and interest groups taking a protectionist standpoint for the fetus, or “unborn child” by purporting that it is a living person. However noble a cause this may seem, the passing of restrictive reproductive rights policy under the “moral” guise has devastating effects on women. These effects are telling of an underlying cause of the anti-choice movement – one that involves removing women from reproductive responsibilities and processes, thus chipping away at individual liberties, citizenship and bodily autonomy. This paper asserts that the fetus is misappropriated by policy makers and ideological anti-choice groups as a tactical pawn to perpetuate control over women’s reproductive choices. This paper focuses on the seven U.S. states with the most restrictive reproductive rights policies—Alabama, Colorado, Louisiana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and South Dakota— using an analysis of the language of their policies and pending legislation. Findings demonstrate that anti-choice groups and policy makers forward a normative social construction of women in discourse and images and attempt to make restrictive legislation more acceptable to the polity. Furthermore, findings show that the anti-choice narrative of fetal personhood is a pretense for enacting state-mandated control over women’s reproductive choices. This work supports a growing field of research on reproductive rights policy, as well as provides an analytical approach to how theory underlies policy.M.

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

Examination of Student Affairs Culture in Relation to Student Engagement and Success: An Explanatory Sequential Case Study
No full textHigher education models have continued to shift, with the primary focus of Student Affairs moving from the extra-curricular to the co-curricular, yet little data is available to assess the impact of this co-curricular focus on student engagement and success. It is vital for both faculty and student affairs staff to provide students with educationally purposeful activities, both in and out of the classroom. It is imperative for a deeper collaboration between Student Affairs and Academic Affairs in order to provide students with a holistic learning experience, which will prepare them for the "real-world", post-graduation. It is important for Student Affairs to implement a culture of assessment to ensure positive outcomes, in the programs and services that they are providing to students, to secure its position within the co-curricular. Limited research is available examining various cultures of assessment in Student Affairs on college campuses. Through a conceptual framework, this dissertation examined the existing literature, encompassing four streams of theory, research and practice: (a) framework of student affairs; (b) assessment and evaluation; (c) student affairs and academic affairs; and (d) student affairs and leadership. This research assessed how student affairs professionals recognize their own proficiency, knowledge, and skills to identify the strategies, skills, and leadership techniques, they used in their practice. This was an explanatory sequential, case study, which surveyed Student Affairs professionals from one large urban private institution. Key findings of this study examined how assessment is being used in Student Affairs, its impact toward enhancing student engagement and success, as well as clarifying experiences with Student Affairs staff surrounding assessment and leadership styles. Implications and recommendations for future creativity research are discussed.Ed.D., Educational Leadership and Management -- Drexel University, 201
