SPECIAL ISSUE | Afro-Caribbean Women Reclaiming their Bodies and Sexuality: Nicki Minaj and Cardi B’s Ambivalent Self-Portrayals
No full textAuthor: Macarena Martín Martínez University of Sevilla Download PDF version Existing scholarship on the cultural representation of the Black female body has primarily focused on the dominant stereotypes imposed upon it (Bennett and Dickerson 2001, 4), rather than its self-representation. To counteract this critical neglect, the present article considers the roles fulfilled by Nicki Minaj and Cardi B’s music videos. These artists’ explicit videos and songs are believed by some to reinfor..

Mobile dating applications and high-risk sexual behaviours among university students: Final UREAP project
No full textBackground: In today’s world, technology has entered every aspect of our lives, including the dating world. Gone are the days of the traditional dating system where one would meet their significant other in person. Instead traditional dating is being replaced with mobile dating applications. There are many mobile dating applications available for free such as Tinder and Bumble making it very popular among university students; however, studies have shown that students who use dating applications tend to take part in risky sexual behaviours (Sawyer, Smith, & Benotsch, 2017). This literature review looks at university students use of mobile dating applications and their risky sexual behaviours.
Aim:This paper discusses risky sexual behaviour among university students who use mobile dating applications. The purpose of this literature review is to find strategies that promote risk-prevention and sexual wellness programs on university campuses.
Results:Dating app users are at higher risk for participating in risky sexual behaviour such as inconsistent condom use, multiple sexual partners, and sexting. Alcohol and cannabis use was found to be consumed at higher rate sin dating app users, compared to non-users. There was a lack of information on specific risk-prevention programs to incorporate on university campuses.
Conclusions: Dating applications are popular among university students. From the literature it was recommended that universities in corporate resources regarding dating application risk preventions and sexual wellness to their students; however, specific information was lacking and therefore more research is needed on risk-prevention programs
The current state of music therapy in Costa Rica
No full textUsing an ethnographic approach, the author immersed herself for over two years in the community of music therapists who have worked in Costa Rica, leading to the emergence of two research questions: (a) What are the cultural considerations of practicing music therapy in Costa Rica? And (b), What challenges do music therapists face when attempting to practice music therapy in Costa Rica? These questions were addressed through qualitative coding of structured interviews and online correspondence with seven music therapists. Priorities for the future of music therapy in Costa Rica include the creation of the country’s first music therapy degree program and the incorporation of music therapy into a professional association. As a music therapist with dual citizenship in Costa Rica and the United States, the author hopes that this study will serve as the foundation for developing new music therapy opportunities in Costa Rica from a perspective of cultural humility

Epidemiology of problem gambling in Prince Edward Island: a Canadian microcosm?
No full textObjective: To gather information that describes the extent of gambling and problem gambling in Prince Edward Island (PEI), to rigorously analyze between gambling activities and problem gambling, to document cognitive and emotional correlates of problem gambling, and to identify an at-risk gambling group. Method: We selected a random, stratified sample (n = 809) to represent the adult population of PEI. We administered both the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) and an early version of the Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI) to participants who had gambled. Results: The current rate of problem gambling was 3.1%. Problem gamblers were likely to be under age 30 years, to be single, and to report cognitive, emotional, and substance abuse correlates. Multiple-regression analysis identified a unique and substantial relation between problem gambling and video lottery terminal (VLT) use. We identified a group of at-risk gamblers (scoring 1 or 2 on the SOGS), comprising 14% of the sample. Conclusions: Gambling and problem gambling patterns in PEI resemble those in most other provinces. The relation found between problem gambling, VLT use, and cognitive, emotional, and substance use correlates should apply to the greater population as well
Effects of oil types and beta-carotene in repeated deep-fat frying of French fries
No full textDeep-fat fried food is popular for its unique and desirable characteristics. In this study, the effects of deep-fat frying on oil deterioration were analyzed for soybean oil, palm olein and palm stearin. Frying performances were studied through 100 cycles of intermittent frying of French fries without replenishment of oils. Color changes were noticeable with increased frying time. Peroxide value was unstable and fluctuated over time. The p-Anisidine value increased fastest for soybean oil, with a final value of 190.84 at 100 cycles. With respect to the content of total polar compounds, the stability of the oils decreased in the order of palm stearin > soybean oil = palm olein at 100 cycles. Heated control oils showed much lower content of free fatty acids than fried oils with French fries. Palm stearin showed highest oxidative stability in p-Anisidine value and total polar compounds, however, the solidification of oils on the food surface during cooling make it unsuitable for practical use. Oil type was observed to have a significant effect on the changes of principal physicochemical parameters during repeated deep-fat frying.
One of the characteristic features of palm oil is its high content of carotenoids. This prompted the study of the effect of β-carotene as an antioxidant in deep-fat frying. β-carotene was added to palm olein at a concentration equivalent to the total carotenoids in crude palm oil. With respect to p-Anisidine value, the antioxidant contribution of carotenoids was negligible under high temperature, as no significant difference was observed between palm olein containing β-carotene and the one without. Palm olein containing β-carotene developed higher total polar compounds and free fatty acids inversely, indicating a probable pro-oxidant effect of β-carotene at a concentration of ~0.07%.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-08-01The student, Jingyi Meng, accepted the attached license on 2019-07-11 at 12:59.The student, Jingyi Meng, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-07-12 at 00:26.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-07-17 at 09:27.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13997 on 2019-11-26 at 13:59:33Made available in DSpace on 2019-11-26T20:56:44Z (GMT).

Analysing the implementation of geothermal energy in urban areas in the Netherlands: A comparative case study
No full textThe Dutch government has set an ambitious goal: by 2030, greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands should be 49% lower than they were in 1990.But even though geothermal energy is gaining recognition given the high heating demand in the Netherlands and its subsurface potential, implementation of this technology, especially in urban areas, is stagnating. A threefold-knowledge gap was identified in literature. First, it was identified that the viability of geothermal energy is case-specific. Therefore, the lack of knowledge about geothermal energy implementation in metropolitan setting results in uncertainty about the possible trade-offs of stakeholders and makes stakeholders wary of entering the market. Second, it is unclear how and to what extend regional norms, rules and regulations influence development of geothermal systems in urban areas after policy has been adopted. Third, significance of social acceptance is being discussed in a growing number of studies, however it is unclear how social acceptance may be operationalized in policy implementation research. Therefore, this thesis addresses the question how and to what extent institutions influence the success of the geothermal energy policy implementation process in urban areas in the Netherlands. The aim of this research is to consistently track institutions in geothermal energy policy implementation in urban areas in the Netherlands. For this purpose, a comparative case study has been designed to contrast the geothermal policy implementation process of two municipalities, The Hague and Nieuwegein, that share similarities in urban development, external context and type of geothermal technology, but differ in policy outcome. To structure the individual case analysis, a theoretical framework is developed that utilizes elements from the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF) by Kingdon and the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) Framework by Ostrom. From the findings it can be concluded that taking institutions into consideration influences the political and policy flow directly. The primary issues raised by the comparative analysis relate to social, ethical, and politically significant transactions. The lengthy policy implementation process was tainted by a general (mis)trust of the decisionmakers, and concerns were focussed about the equitable allocation of risks and rewards and the willingness to work together for a sustainable system.Complex Systems Engineering and Management (CoSEM
