Teachers’ spirituality as an element of social action. An interpretative phenomenological analysis of primary teachers’ understanding and expression of spirituality

ABSTRACT Spirituality is a contested term in education.Within professional education contexts, spirituality is understood and defined in numerous ways, some of which are ambivalent towards explicit expressions of spirituality. This study, emerging out of a successful doctoral thesis, seeks to examine one aspect of spirituality and the intersection between spirituality, professional identity and teaching practice. The findings point towards a new definition of spirituality directly related to the teaching profession; explicitly ‘spirituality comprises of moments of connection and profundity which lead to change’. Five primary school teachers took part in the study and through narrative accounts, demonstrated their understanding of their spirituality and how this related to their professional practice. The findings demonstrate the ways in which the teachers understood their role and the ways in which spirituality informed their practice which was both challenged and supported within the profession.
Control Responsibility: The Discursive Construction of Privacy, Teens, and Facebook in Flemish Newspapers

This study explores the discursive construction of online privacy through a critical discourse analysis of Flemish newspapers’ coverage of privacy, teens, and Facebook between 2007 and 2018 to determine what representation of (young) users the papers articulate. A privacy-as-control discourse is dominant and complemented by two other discourses: that of the unconcerned and reckless teenager and that of the promise of media literacy. Combined, these discourses form an authoritative language on privacy that we call “control responsibility. ” Control responsibility presents privacy as an individual responsibility that can be controlled and needs to be learned by young users. We argue that the discourses contribute to a neoliberal rationality and have a disciplinary effect that strengthens various forms of responsibilization.
Humility and religious leadership: a qualitative study of theology and practice

ABSTRACT Recent research suggests that religious leaders’ humility is crucial to their own psychological wellbeing as well as the wellbeing of the communities they lead, yet little is known about how humility is understood and cultivated by the leaders themselves. This qualitative study of 273 religious leaders from the Abrahamic faiths examines the diversity in their theological understandings of humility and describes the practices that they report are most helpful to their own cultivation of the virtue. The authors integrate practical theological and psychological perspectives as they discuss the types of humility and practices and explore their implications.
The Pre-Deal Phase of Mergers and Acquisitions: A Review and Research Agenda

Despite the long-standing research interest in the pre-deal phase of mergers and acquisitions, many important questions remain unanswered. We review and synthesize the extensive but rather fragmented research on this topic area in the fields of management, finance, accounting, and economics. We organize our review according to six themes, that is, deal initiation, target selection, bidding and negotiation, valuation and financing, announcement, and closure, which represent the main categories of activities performed during the pre-deal phase. Our review shows that most of the existing research relies on a rather high-level, simplified, and static conception of the pre-deal phase. On the basis of our review, we put forward a research agenda that calls for a more granular examination of individual activities and decisions, a more comprehensive analysis of the interplay among the different actors involved in the pre-deal phase, a better understanding of the role of the temporal dynamics, and the extension of the theoretical base from variance-based to process-based theorizing.

Modeling the Formation of Attentive Publics in Social Media: The Case of Donald Trump

Previous research has shown the importance of Donald Trump’s Twitter activity, and that of his Twitter following, in spreading his message during the primary and general election campaigns of 2015–2016. However, we know little about how the publics who followed Trump and amplified his messages took shape. We take this case as an opportunity to theorize and test questions about the assembly of what we call “attentive publics” in social media. We situate our study in the context of current discussions of audience formation, attention flow, and hybridity in the United States’ political media system. From this we derive propositions concerning how attentive publics aggregate around a particular object, in this case Trump himself, which we test using time series modeling. We also present an exploration of the possible role of automated accounts in these processes. Our results reiterate the media hybridity described by others, while emphasizing the importance of news media coverage in building social media attentive publics.

No L1 privilege in talker adaptation

Abstract As a rule, listening is easier in first (L1) than second languages (L2); difficult L2 listening can challenge even highly proficient users. We here examine one particular listening function, adaptation to novel talkers, in such a high-proficiency population: Dutch emigrants to Australia, predominantly using English outside the family, but all also retaining L1 proficiency. Using lexically-guided perceptual learning (Norris, McQueen & Cutler, 2003), we investigated these listeners’ adaptation to an ambiguous speech sound, in parallel experiments in both their L1 and their L2. A control study established that perceptual learning outcomes were unaffected by the procedural measures required for this double comparison. The emigrants showed equivalent proficiency in tests in both languages, robust perceptual adaptation in their L2, English, but no adaptation in L1. We propose that adaptation to novel talkers is a language-specific skill requiring regular novel practice; a limited set of known (family) interlocutors cannot meet this requirement.
An investigation of handwriting legibility and pencil use tasks in healthy older adults

Aims: Handwriting processes deteriorate with age and following neurological conditions. Improving handwriting is often a focus of rehabilitation. Yet knowledge of handwriting legibility in the elderly is limited. This study describes the distribution of handwriting legibility scores in healthy older adults, relationships between handwriting legibility, age and writing task, and reliability of rating procedures. Methods: A cross sectional study design was used involving 120 healthy older Australians. Tasks included writing sentences, shopping lists and transcribing a telephone message. Legibility was scored using the Modified Four Point Scale-version 2. Results: Legibility differed between tasks but was not related to increasing age. Conclusions: Impaired handwriting legibility in the elderly is less likely due to the effects of aging than the required task or medical conditions. Findings from this study may help therapists set intervention goals and measure legibility changes during handwriting retraining.
Academic interventions for ELL nursing students: A pilot program

Background and Review of Literature: Diversity in the nursing workforce has become a necessity. However, the number of minorities entering the nursing workforce remains low. Research has shown that English-Language Learners (ELL) have a higher attrition and board failure rates than that of their English-speaking counterparts. Research has identified barriers that impede the ELL nursing student’s success, however, has failed to identify academic interventions that assist in the ELL student in overcoming said barriers. Purpose: The purpose of this project was to implement a nursing-specific ELL success program to improve development of study skills to increase comprehension of healthcare terminology and clinical reasoning. Methods: This quality improvement project collected quantified data in traditional BSN program in a private, non-profit, nursing and allied health university in the Midwest. The inclusion criteria were: nursing student enrolled in the traditional BSN program, age over 18, and identified English as their second language. Implementation Plan/Procedure: A five-week program offered both bi-weekly live and digitized sessions. Activities were provided to enhance reading habits and critical thinking/clinical reasoning skills. Participants anonymously completed a paper assessment and an on-line assessment at the beginning and end of the program. Implications/Conclusion: Analysis of t-tests did not identify any statistically significant results regarding reading and critical thinking skills. There was an increase in the aggregate means of the HSRT, and the PRS category of the SORS. This increase potentially shows a positive effect the interventions had on participant critical thinking skills. Generalizations from these findings ACADEMIC INTERVENTIONS FOR ELL NURSING STUDENTS 7 cannot be made due to the limited sample size. Any repeated quality improvement project related to this topic would require larger sample sizes, a longer time frame.
Parental Incarceration: The Childs Rights and Needs

The population of minor children with an incarcerated parent has grown by 80% since 1991 (Glaze & Maruschak, 2008). Often referred to as the forgotten population, children of incarcerated parents can exhibit many setbacks, socially and psychologically. The effects of the trauma related to having a parent incarcerated include isolating functions, anxiety, low concentration in school, problems sleeping, juvenile incarceration, criminal behavior, depression, and vulnerability towards peer pressure. Without proper intervention, these children have a 70% chance of following their parents into incarceration which leads to a trend as intergenerational incarceration. When a parent is incarcerated, the child faces several changes in their life which are present in the home, community, and school setting. The changes these children face can cause a frightening range of challenges; coping with a loss of a caregiver, adjusting to new home environments, familial, economic hardships, change in the primary caregiver, as well as developmental regression such as bedwetting. To counteract the traumatic impacts of this forgotten population in the school system, school counselors can provide several data-based intervention strategies. To begin, implementing group-based interventions that focus on trauma. For example, Springer, lynch, and Rubin (2000) created a solution-focused group that used techniques from solution-focused theorists, mutual-aid interventions, and techniques that focused on enhancing self-esteem. Secondly, a prevention program can be used to address behaviors that are linked to delinquency, violence, and socially withdrawn behaviors. In accordance, there have been many revelations in how to help this population; the ones mentioned are only a few that have been developed. HOW TO FORMAT A RESEARCH PAPER iv Within the context of this paper, others, as well as the effects of incarcerated parents, will be discussed. HOW TO FORMAT A RESEARCH PAPER v
Examining Institutional Support Structures and Worldview Climate for Sexual Minority Students in Christian Higher Education

Abstract Using data from a survey administered at 61 institutions from 2011 to 2015, we examined how campus support structures for sexual minority students (e.g., a recognized LGBTQ student organization) influence student perceptions of the campus climate for worldview diversity at Christian colleges and universities. Further, analysis of the survey data explored whether the effects of institutional supports on climate perceptions differ for sexual minority and heterosexual students. Findings suggest that campus support structures for the LGB + community play a role in shaping students’ perceptions of the worldview diversity climate at Christian institutions. For one support structure in particular–educational programs/series–the effects on climate perceptions among LGB + individuals are stronger than they are for heterosexual students. Implications for research and practice are discussed fully at the conclusion of the article.
Research on the Influence of Teacher-student relationship on College Students' extra role behavior——Based on the mediating effect of Self-efficacy

Under the social background that Teacher-student relationship is increasingly valued today, the influence of Teacher-student relationship on the College Students' extra role behavior has become more and more concerned. After reviewing the relevant literatures, this study used the college students as the survey object to explore the influence of Teacher-student relationship on the College Students' extra role behavior, and explored the mediating effect of self-efficacy between them. Using Questionnaire to collect data, and analyzing the data for reliability, validity, and doing correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple regression analysis on the data. Then the effects of Teacher-student relationship, self-efficacy and extra role behavior were studyed. The results showed that the Teacher-student relationship had a significant impact on the College Students' extra role behavior. And Self-efficacy had a partial mediating effect between the Teacher-student relationship and the College Students' extra role behavior.
How do PICU nurses spend their time? A pilot study

Background: The Royal College of Nursing has expressed concerns about the amount of time nurses spend completing paperwork to the detriment of direct patient contact. In a recent survey carried out by the College, nurses reported that they spent an average of 17% of their time on non-essential paperwork and clerical tasks. Although there have been some published studies of nurse-patient interactions on acute psychiatric wards, how nurses spend their time on PICUs has not been previously examined. Aims & Objectives: To determine how nurses on a PICU divide their time between their various duties with a view to recommending ways of increasing quality time spent with patients. Method: Five qualified nurses were each observed by the PICU’s Clinical Information Assistant while they worked a long day shift. Each activity they engaged in was timed and assigned to one of seven main categories (direct patient contact, contact with relatives, friends and carers, patient-related meetings, paperwork and bureaucracy, personal development, rest time and activities not requiring a qualified nurse) and a larger number of sub-categories. The categories adopted were derived by those used by Seed et al (2010). The study was conducted in a male 12-bedded independent sector PICU admitting NHS patients from all over the UK. Length of time spent on each nursing activity was entered into an SPSS database and a descriptive analysis performed. The mean time (and range) spent on each category and sub-category was calculated. Results: Observations were carried out in January and February 2015. A total of 3,758 minutes of nursing time were observed. Participants spent most time (an average of 30.2%) on direct patient contact with 11.7% of time involving medicines administration but only a mean of 1.1% of time in formal therapy sessions with patients (just 8 minutes per shift) and even less with relatives, friends and carers (0.4%; 3 minutes). An average of 29.7% of time was spent in meetings and discussions about patients and 22.7% in completing paperwork and administration. For 13.7% of time nurses were engaged in tasks that could have been completed by healthcare assistants or administrators, although some of this time involved direct patient contact. These activities included prompting patients to wash and dress and supervising them at meal times, domestic tasks and other non-clinical duties. Discussion & Conclusions: It was encouraging that the largest proportion of nursing time was spent in direct patient contact but disappointing that so little time was spent in therapeutic sessions with patients. The National Minimum Standards for Psychiatric Intensive Care specify that every patient should be invited to have a 1:1 session with a member of the MDT each day. Nursing staff need to focus on spending more 1:1 therapeutic time with patients and delegate tasks that can be carried out by HCAs and supporting administrative staff. A system of ‘protected time’ is now being piloted to free up qualified nursing staffs’ time for 1:1 sessions with their patients.
Improving School Leadership: The Promise of Cohesive Leadership Systems

This study documents actions of Wallace Foundation grantees to create more-cohesive policies and initiatives to improve instructional leadership in schools; describes how states and districts have worked together to forge such policies and initiatives; and examines the hypothesis that cohesive systems improve school leadership. Such efforts appear to be a promising approach to developing school principals engaged in improving instruction.
EMIRATI WOMEN’S PERCEPTIONS OF POLYGAMY ACCORDING TO AGE, EMPLOYMENT, AND EDUCATIONAL LEVEL

Purpose of the study: The study investigates the Emirati Women’s perceptions of polygamy according to three variables, namely age, employment, and educational level. It also explores where there are possible reasons that may drive these women to accept polygamy in certain circumstances and their reactions if it actually happens. Methodology: To achieve this, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 50 Emirati women to get more insight into their choice, reasons, and reactions. Main findings: The results reveal that 88% of the participants refused the entire idea of polygamy while the rest accepted it. The results also show that the three social variables played an important role in their choice. The participants who consented to polygamy did so due to religious and cultural reasons. In case the husband went along with his remarriage, the participants indicated that they would file for divorce, especially those who are young and employed, or stay with their husbands unhappy. The latter were mostly older and unemployed. Applications of this study: The Emirati women’s concerns of polygamy and its consequences on family life should be taken into account when revising social policies in the UAE. The originality of this study: The study is one of its kinds to address polygamy in the UAE. It contributes to the body of knowledge through identifying Emirati women’s concerns of polygamy and discussing the reasons for accepting/rejecting polygamy.
Tracing the contribution of childhood studies: Maintaining momentum while navigating tensions

Over recent decades, the evolving field of childhood studies has contributed significantly to the theorisation of childhood and to research seeking to understand children’s lives and experiences in different contexts. This article traces some of the key theoretical developments within childhood studies by means of a scoping study of peer-reviewed, scholarly journals and books published between 2010 and 2018. The aim of the review was to explore the theoretical and empirical contributions of childhood studies beyond its early foundational tenets. A number of emerging tensions were identified and these are explored in this article.
Finding middle ground: the relationship between cultural schemas and working mothers’ work-family strategies

ABSTRACT All-consuming expectations and a limited policy framework require working parents in the United States to develop creative and resourceful approaches when managing work and family responsibilities. Previous research on work-family strategies demonstrates how the ‘trade-offs’ working parents make at home and at work are stratified by structural factors such as gender, life stage and access to resources. In this article, I argue that strategies are better conceptualized as a ‘buffet’ of options and that strategy selections are, in part, cultural decisions, embedded within symbolic landscapes that render certain options more accessible, appropriate or desirable than others. I use data from the 500 Family Study to test the association between working mothers’ socially structured moral and emotional commitments and the work-family strategies they employ. My findings demonstrate that cultural beliefs matter simultaneously with and sometimes over and beyond institutional and material resources and constraints. This article also highlights, through a process I term stigma coding, women’s ‘bounded agency’ in interpreting and aligning schemas and strategies. I conclude that these contributions offer a more complete picture of working mothers’ complex negotiations of work and family life.
