WHAT IS HEALTH A qualitative study on the concept of health of Internal Displaced women in Georgia Anneli Hagen Andersson Zandra Persson Examensarbete i omvårdnad Malmö Högskola Nivå 61-90 Hälsa och Samhälle Sjuksköterskeprogrammet 205 06 Malmö Juni 2010 1 “/…when you eat quality food, and you have no problems, that you are living in freedom and you have no problem, you have job, you have everything you need for your health, and what the person need in her life.” (Respondent 2) 2 Vad är hälsa En kvalitativ studie om begreppet hälsa bland kvinnliga interna flyktingar i Georgien Anneli Hagen Andersson Zandra Persson Hagen, A & Persson, Z. Vad är hälsa för kvinnliga internflyktingar i Georgien. En kvalitativ studie om begreppet hälsa bland kvinnliga internflyktingar i Georgien. Examensarbete, 15 högskolepoäng. Omvårdnad, Malmö högskola: Hälsa och Samhälle, Utbildningsområde omvårdnad, 2010. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka begreppet hälsa bland kvinnliga georgiska internflyktingar (Internal Displaced People, IDP). Detta är en empirisk studie med en kvalitativ metod som bygger på semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Sammanlagt sju IDP kvinnor i staden Zugdidi i Georgien deltog. Dataanalysen var inspirerad av Burnard's (1991) innehållsanalys, och resulterade i två kategorier: 1) Upplevelsen av kontroll med underrubrikerna Social situation, Familj och Avsaknad av pengar och 2) Upplevelsen av identitet med underrubrikerna Ursprung, Anpassningsförmåga och Självkänsla. Dessa är alla avgörande faktorer för att deltagarna skall kunna leva ett liv med värdighet och kontroll; båda viktiga faktorer för hälsan. Marmots teori om sociala bestämningsfaktorer för hälsa har influerat dataanalys och kategorisering. Ytterligare studier i detta ämne skulle vara av värde för att vägleda sjukvården i hur man bättre kan arbeta förebyggande samt möta behoven hos kvinnliga internflyktingar samt internationella flyktingar. -

Fighting for Girls
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 1 INTRODUCTION Meda Chesney-Lind and Nikki Jones A decade into the twenty-fi rst century, it seems like the news about girls is increasingly alarming. Of course, we’ve always had “bad” girls. Longfel- low, no less, penned, that “when she was good she was very good indeed, and when she was bad, she was horrid” (Longfellow, 2004). In the waning decades of the twentieth century, though, the public was jolted by media images of “gangster” girls, every bit as menacing as their urban male coun- terparts, often pictured glaring at the world over the barrel of a gun. The new century also introduced us to suburban “mean” girls, manipulating and backstabbing their way to popularity, and now, only a few years later, it seems as though our mean girls have suddenly turned violent. YouTube videos of brawling cheerleaders make local and national news and “go viral” on the Web where they are viewed by thousands. Do we really need to worry about girls causing “savagery in the suburbs” (Meadows & Johnson, 2003: 37), as a 2003 headline in Newsweek warned? It would certainly seem so if you picked up recent trade books like See Jane Hit (Garbarino, 2006) and Sugar and Spice and No Longer Nice (Prothrow-Stith & Spivak, 2005), which purport to advise parents and teachers on what to do about girls’ violence while also fueling public unease about modern girlhood. Given the high level of public and academic interest in girls’ use of violence and aggression, it is actually remarkable that so little careful academic work has been made available to those concerned with the facts and not the hype. -

Commodities, Culture, and the Consumption of Pilsner Beer in The
Empire in a Bottle: Commodities, Culture, and the Consumption of Pilsner Beer in the British Empire, c.1870-1914 A dissertation presented by Malcolm F. Purinton to The Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the field of History Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts August 2016 1 Empire in a Bottle: Commodities, Culture, and the Consumption of Pilsner Beer in the British Empire, c.1870-1914 by Malcolm F. Purinton Abstract of Dissertation Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University August, 2016 2 Abstract The Pilsner-style beer is the most popular and widespread beer style in the world with local variants and global brands all competing in marketplaces from Asia to Africa to the Americas. Yet no one has ever examined why this beer and not another was able to capture the global market for malt beverages. This is important from the point of view of the study of beer as a commodity, but its greater importance is in the way the spread of the Pilsner style serves as a visible, traceable marker for the changes wrought by globalization in an age of empire. Its spread was dependent not only on technological innovations and faster transportation, but also on the increased connectedness of the world, and on the political structures like empires that dominated the world at the time. Drawing upon a wide range of archival sources from Great Britain, Germany, Ireland, and South Africa, this study traces the spread in consumption and production of the Pilsner in the British Empire between 1870 and 1914. -
The Scheduling and Reception of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel in the UK
Vampire Hunters: the Scheduling and Reception of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel in the UK Annette Hill and Ian Calcutt Introduction In a viewers’ feedback programme on TV, a senior executive responded to public criticism of UK television’s scheduling and censorship of imported cult TV. Key examples included Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin off series Angel. The executive stated: ‘The problem is, with some of the series we acquire from the States, in the States they go out at eight o’clock or nine o’clock. We don’t have that option here because we want to be showing history documentaries or some other more serious programming at eight or nine o’clock’ [1]. TV channels in the UK do not perceive programmes like Buffy and Angel, which have garnered critical and ratings success in the USA, appropriate for a similarly prominent timeslot. Although peak time programmes can include entertainment shows, these are generally UK productions, such as lifestyle or drama. This article analyses the circumstances within which British viewers are able to see Buffy and Angel, and the implications of those circumstances for their experiences as audience members and fans. The article is in two sections. The first section outlines the British TV system in general, and the different missions and purposes of relevant TV channels. It also addresses the specifics of scheduling Buffy and Angel, including the role of censorship and editing of episodes. We highlight how the scheduling has been erratic, which both interrupts complex story arcs and frustrates fans expecting to see their favourite show at a regular time. -
WC Fields and Charles Bukowski As
"TOO MANY OLIVES IN MY MARTINI": W.C. FIELDS AND CHARLES BUKOWSKI AS POSTMODERN CARNIVAL KINGS David Camak Pratt A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2008 Committee: Jeffrey Brown, Advisor Marilyn Motz © 2008 David Camak Pratt All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeffrey Brown, Advisor In the early history of America, constant, steady drinking brought the carnivalesque into official life such that the carnival and the official, as Bakhtin describes these terms, were intertwined. As hard alcohol, binges and drunkenness flourished in America, official life separated from carnival life. Temperance and prohibition movements that rose to significance in the early nineteenth century successfully marginalized the use of alcohol and also the alcoholic carnival. As the American alcoholic carnival diminished as a part of lived experience, it continued on in the mediated form that is its primary embodiment today. W.C. Fields and Charles Bukowski are two particularly successful purveyors of the mediated alcoholic carnival, Fields as an actor and screenwriter and Bukowski as a writer of poetry, stories, novels, and one screenplay. Bukowski’s mostly autobiographical texts often detail the steps his character, Henry Chinaski, takes to ensure he is able to drink and write, to the exclusion of most other considerations. A Fields character tries harder than Chinaski to succeed according to American middle-class standards, but first has to deal with the distaste he inspires as an alcoholic eccentric. Bukowski/Chinaski, by defining his own terms for success, stands largely outside of American hegemonic culture, criticizing the American Dream and American notions of alcoholism. -

Vaughan,Scott Allie | 320 pages | 05 Jun 2012 | Dark Horse Comics,U.S. | 9781595828880 | English | Milwaukie, United States Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 Library Edition Volume 1 PDF Book Buffy finds her powers weakened, because unbeknownst to her, Giles has been drugging her as part of a cruel Watchers' Council test of the Slayer's abilities. The final shot of Willow cradling Tara's corpse will go down in TV history. But that final scene is devastating, particularly the look on Willow's face and Spike, racked with sobs. Faith and Robin Wood enjoy a one-night stand. And yet, the break-up is rough : Remember how cute Willow and Oz were? Past that, "Triangle" breaks up the tension of a season building to a big finish. As in "Flooded," it's just a bummer to see Buffy struggling with making ends meet. Seriously, those demon bikers. Yes, it's another Riley-centric one, but at least here he has a reason to be freaking out. And Buffy and Spike cuddle. But it's really all about cheeky Spike and nutty Dru. Except at the end of the episode, she's killed by Adam, one of the worst villains the show ever gave us. Contner "Things fall apart," Tara says at the end of "Entropy. What better way for Willow and Anya to work out their issues than by joining forces against Anya's ex, a troll named Olaf? And Buffy's heart is broken.
