Tra il dire e il fare. L’innovazione educativo-pedagogica dell’opera di Maria Edgeworth

Year: 2015

description: Il volume intende mettere in luce il valore attuale delle teorie e pratiche educativo-pedagogiche proposte da Maria Edgeworth. Agli albori della scienza moderna, Edgeworth si muove in un milieu assolutamente stimolante, che raccoglie alcuni tra i più grandi pensatori dell’epoca in ambito filosofico, educativo e culturale. La loro influenza, anche e soprattutto attraverso il lavoro costantemente sviluppato col padre, la porterà in pochi anni a formulare teorie educative che troveranno subito ampio riscontro presso la comunità intellettuale. La grande novità del suo progetto risiede nell’elaborazione di un sistema pedagogico coerente, basato su testi teorici e pratici ideati e composti in un linguaggio specifico di matrice scientifica ma con intento divulgativo, per l’educazione del bambino fino all’età della maturità. Pur mettendo in luce i limiti storici di alcuni presupposti del pensiero edgeworthiano, appare importante sottolineare l’attualità e l’attuabilità della sua proposta metodologica, fondata su indagini circostanziate e documentate secondo criteri oggi considerati basilari per la corretta attuazione della pratica educativa, che deve coinvolgere fattivamente il bambino e l’adulto. Maria Edgeworth supera la letteratura, quindi, per rivelarsi un assistant scientifico allo sviluppo dell’individuo in una società civile, moderna e in continua evoluzione.

Profilo biograficoRaffaella Leproni è ricercatore di Lingua e traduzione inglese presso il Dipartimento di Scienze della Formazione dell’Università degli Studi Roma Tre, dove svolge didattica in diversi Corsi di Studio utilizzando materiali autentici di matrice socio-pedagogica ed educativa in prospettiva CLIL; collabora sul tema ad un progetto sperimentale con la Pädagogische Hochschule di Salisburgo. La sua attività di ricerca si incentra altresì sul ruolo dell’identità come punto di riferimento in prospettiva interculturale; in particolare il progetto Linguaggio, potere, identità: il caso Irlanda, incentrato sull’analisi di alcune manifestazioni emblematiche del percorso linguistico irlandese, indaga la valenza del linguaggio nella costruzione partecipata dell’identità sociale. Di Maria Edgeworth ha tradotto Due Racconti (Kappa edizioni, 2009) e Harrington (Belforte editore, 2012; 2015).

description: In recent writing on the arts, few words verge on meaninglessness more than “experimental,” and, alas, this issue may do little to rectify this. By placing the pieces collected here under the rubric of the “experimental” I do not wish to inscribe them within a now semi–canonical “experimental tradition”—although some certainly have connections to that by no means unambiguous historical concept. Rather, I use the word to concisely indicate that the diverse array of exceptional pieces published here depart from the stylistic norms of contemporary academic writing. In one sense, this is an overly context–dependent justification. (Since this is a peer–reviewed scholarly journal, does that mean any text appearing in it that does not read like a standard article or book review is experimental?) But it is, anyway, the case that many of the contributors included here are academics of one kind or another, and that academic style constitutes a background against which their pieces can be taken to represent a self–conscious experimentation with form.

Dynamics of Spontaneous Magnetization Reversal in Exchange Biased Heterostructures

description: The dependence of thermally induced spontaneous magnetization reversal on time-dependent cooling protocols was studied. Slower cooling and longer waiting close to the Nèel temperature of the antiferromagnet ($T_N$) enhances the magnetization reversal. Cycling the temperature around $T_N$ leads to a thermal training effect under which the reversal magnitude increases with each cycle. These results suggest that spontaneous magnetization reversal is energetically favored, contrary to our present understanding of positive exchange bias.
Reproductive technologies and the Charter
Creators: name: Morton, Chantal
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Reproductive technologies such as alternative insemination and in-vitro fertilization, and their implementation through surrogacy, have been developed and managed in Canada without enough concern for the interests and needs of women. There is a lack of regulation establishing safety standards and protection for the needs of the women participating. There is also discrimination in determining who shall be allowed access to the procedures. The theoretical basis for the development of the technologies and their discriminatory implementation can be found in the ideologies of motherhood, privacy and notions of formal equality. Woman has been socially constructed by men as an object - an object that is partially defined by her reproductive function. We can only understand reproductive technologies within this context of women's situation - that is, as the 'Other' that men have created. A woman's gendered identity includes the possibility of pregnancy and motherhood. Difference from men based on this biological potential is used to justify inequality. Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms may be a means to assert women's rights to control of the technologies. However, the articulation of Charter rights may be constrained by patriarchal assumptions of who should be a mother, notions of public/private that limit Charter applicability and do not recognize state involvement in maintaining a system of inequality, and notions of formal equality that assume that women and men are equal if they are treated as 'the same'. These assumptions remain as potential obstacles to a mobilization of the Charter. In order to challenge the theoretical basis of the development of reproductive technologies it will be necessary to the subordination of women. This will entail the deconstruction of the patriarchal foundations of the social, legal and political systems that identify men as the norm and women as difference. By recognizing and affirming difference in a vision of equality that does not prioritize 'sameness', it will be possible to redefine what motherhood means by including the many experiences of different women. Thus, the technologies will be developed with the interests of women as the primary concern and they will no longer be made available solely to those who conform to the ideologies of motherhood that prioritize heterosexual, middle class women.

description: The increased presence of jazz studies at universities and cultural insti-tutions in the United States and abroad has brought with it a recognition of how diffuse the community of those who research and write about jazz has become. Whether this "family" of jazz scholars-both in and outside of academia-is a dysfunctional one, as Ken Burns would have us believe, or simply one that exhibits the sometimes perplexing yet more often insightful idiosyncrasy of a Thelonious Monk solo is a matter of conjecture. Un-deniable, however, is the fact that at the present moment the methodolog-ical scope of jazz scholarship has expanded to an unprecedented degree.

“King Porter Stomp” and the Jazz Tradition
Creators: name: Magee, Jeffrey
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2001

description: Toward the end of his life in May 1938, Ferdinand ‘Jelly Roll” Morton (1890-1941) walked into the Library of Congress’s Coolidge Auditorium sporting an expensive suit, a gold watch fob and rings, and a diamondstudded incisor (Lomax 1993:xvii). He sat down at the piano and, with the assistance of folklorist Alan Lomax, conveyed his music and life story into what Lomax called a “one-lung portable Presto recorder” (ibid.:287). Speaking in a measured, orotund baritone, Morton explored his past at a leisurely, dignified pace, but he was eager to set the record straight on one particular subject: that he had “personally originated jazz in New Orleans in 1902” (ibid.:84). Historians have since shown the origins of jazz to be more complicated than Morton allowed (Gushee 1994; Panetta 2000), but none can refute the story of his most popular and enduring composition, “King Porter Stomp”. “King Porter Stomp” did indeed become a standard during the Swing Era, widely performed by big bands throughout the 1930s and beyond. Moreover, as Morton said, many musicians used the chords, the “backgrounds,” of “King Porter”’s Trio and Stomp sections as the basis for new tunes. Adding luster to “King Porter”’s agency in jazz history, Benny Goodman gave the piece a key role in an account of his band’s legendary performance at the Palomar Ballroom in Los Angeles on the night of August 21, 1935. As Goodman recalled, when the band started playing Fletcher Henderson’s arrangements of “Sometimes I’m Happy” and “King Porter Stomp,” the “place exploded” (Goode 1986).

The effect of anxiety on real life problem solving performance of gifted children in Israel
Creators: name: Zoller, Tamar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of anxiety on real life problem solving performance of gifted children. The study was carried out in Israel, a country in which the necessity of solving real life problems under conditions of anxiety is a real concern. 142 gifted and nongifted subjects from 4th, 5th and 6th grades participated in the study. Trait and State Anxiety Inventories for Children (Spielberger, 1973), and a Real Life Problem Solving Situation Set (RLPSSS), were used to assess the subjects' Trait anxiety, State anxiety and real life problem solving performance respectively. The subjects in each class were divided into two matched groups based on their Trait Anxiety scores, the subjects gender and their scholastic achievements. One of them was randomly assigned to be the treatment group and the other the nontreatment group. The "treatment" consisted of deliberate induction of anxiety via a combination of elements that are known to elicit anxiety in school children. Matched t-tests on anxiety scores, before and after treatment, indicated that the treatment was effective in both populations, the gifted and the nongifted. Ethical issues were taken into consideration. Analysis of RLPSSS indicated that: (1) gifted children performed significantly better than their nongifted counterparts under conditions of treatment as well as under condition of non-treatment; (2) the performance of all the groups who experienced anxiety, was lower than that of their matched groups who performed under their natural setting conditions; (3) no interaction was found between giftedness and anxiety; (4) under conditions of anxiety gifted girls appeared to perform slightly better than gifted boys. The implications from this study concern the attitude toward anxiety which should be dealt with as part of life, rather than as a pathological feature. It is suggested to consider the introduction of anxiety scales into test batteries used for the identification of gifted children and that special programs for the gifted make provisions for providing the gifted students with the necessary skills to cope with life problems under all kinds of anxiety circumstances.
Ekman layer damping of r-modes revisited

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the damping of neutron star r-modes due to the presence of a viscous boundary (Ekman) layer at the interface between the crust and the core. Our study is motivated by the possibility that the gravitational-wave driven instability of the inertial r-modes may become active in rapidly spinning neutron stars, eg. in low-mass X-ray binaries, and the fact that a viscous Ekman layer at the core-crust interface provides an efficient damping mechanism for these oscillations. We review various approaches to the problem and carry out an analytic calculation of the effects due to the Ekman layer for a rigid crust. Our analytic estimates support previous numerical results, and provide further insight into the intricacies of the problem. We add to previous work by discussing the effect that compressibility and composition stratification have on the boundary layer damping. We show that, while stratification is unimportant for the r-mode problem, composition suppresses the damping rate by about a factor of two (depending on the detailed equation of state).

Recollections: Mark Tucker (1954-2000)
Creators: name: Jackson, Travis A.
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2001

description: Mark Tucker was one of those rare individuals who excelled in all the areas one might invoke in assessing a musical scholar’s importance. His two books and numerous essays on Duke Ellington and his public presentations on Thelonious Monk have all contributed to our recognition of him as a first-rate musicologist and jazz scholar, one whose work is beautifully written and brimming with insight. His research on Ellington’s early years has enhanced our understanding of how one of America’s most celebrated composers developed his craft. By situating Ellington in the complex worlds of Washington, D.C. and Harlem up to the 1930s, Mark helped open the door to a more nuanced investigation of jazz, going beyond hagiography or decontextualized musical analysis to render a complex portrait worthy of his subject. His unfinished monograph on Thelonious Monk promised to go in the same direction. A presentation for Columbia’s Center for Jazz Studies lecture series in 2000 showed Mark succeeding at disentangling Monk the myth from Monk the musician, and in the process bringing many who thought they understood Monk to a new level of awareness.

description: Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and magnetic resonance imaging at ultra-low fields (ULF MRI) are two methods based on the ability of SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) sensors to detect femtotesla magnetic fields. Combination of these methods will allow simultaneous functional (MEG) and structural (ULF MRI) imaging of the human brain. In this paper, we report the first implementation of a multi-sensor SQUID system designed for both MEG and ULF MRI. We present a multi-channel image of a human hand obtained at 46 microtesla field, as well as results of auditory MEG measurements with the new system.

Impact of Exchange-Correlation Effects on the IV Characteristics of a Molecular Junction

description: The role of exchange-correlation effects in non-equilibrium quantum transport through molecular junctions is assessed by analyzing the IV curve of a generic two-level model using self-consistent many-body perturbation theory (second Born and GW approximations) on the Keldysh contour. For weak molecule-lead coupling we identify a mechanism which can lead to anomalously strong peaks in the dI/dV due to a bias-induced interplay between the position of the HOMO and LUMO levels. The effect is suppressed by self-interaction errors and is therefore unlikely to be observed in standard transport calculations based on density functional theory. Inclusion of dynamic correlations lead to substantial renormalization of the energy levels. In particular, we find a strong enhancement of quasi-particle (QP) scattering at finite bias which reduces the QP lifetimes significantly with a large impact on the IV curve.

description: To many jazz aficionados, the name Rudy Van Gelder is virtually syn-onymous with jazz recording. Still active today, this reclusive self-taught craftsman is by far the most prolific and accomplished sound engineer in the history of jazz, recording many of the music's most acclaimed albums. In a career that has now spanned half a century and has paralleled devel-opments in both modern jazz and recording technology, Van Gelder has contributed to advances in both areas, simultaneously shaping and being shaped by these new developments.

description: We present a spectroscopic survey of the newly-discovered Canes Venatici dwarf galaxy using the Keck/DEIMOS spectrograph. Two stellar populations of distinct kinematics are found to be present in this galaxy: an extended, metal-poor component, of half-light radius 7'.8(+2.4/-2.1), which has a velocity dispersion of 13.9(+3.2/-2.5) km/s, and a more concentrated (half-light radius 3'.6(+1.1/-0.8) metal-rich component of extremely low velocity dispersion. At 99% confidence, the upper limit to the central velocity dispersion of the metal-rich population is 1.9 km/s. This is the lowest velocity dispersion ever measured in a galaxy. We perform a Jeans analysis on the two components, and find that the dynamics of the structures can only be consistent if we adopt extreme (and unlikely) values for the scale length and velocity dispersion of the metal-poor population. With a larger radial velocity sample and improved measurements of the density profile of the two populations, we anticipate that it will be possible to place strong constraints on the central distribution of the dark matter in this galaxy.

description: Meta-learning is a branch of machine learning which aims to quickly adapt models, such as neural networks, to perform new tasks by learning an underlying structure across related tasks. In essence, models are being trained to learn new tasks effectively rather than master a single task. Meta-learning is appealing for process control applications because the perturbations to a process required to train an AI controller can be costly and unsafe. Additionally, the dynamics and control objectives are similar across many different processes, so it is feasible to create a generalizable controller through meta-learning capable of quickly adapting to different systems. In this work, we construct a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based controller and meta-train the controller using a latent context variable through a separate embedding neural network. We test our meta-algorithm on its ability to adapt to new process dynamics as well as different control objectives on the same process. In both cases, our meta-learning algorithm adapts very quickly to new tasks, outperforming a regular DRL controller trained from scratch. Meta-learning appears to be a promising approach for constructing more intelligent and sample-efficient controllers.

description: We present a catalog of eclipsing binaries in the northern Galactic Plane from the Kiso Wide-Field Camera Intensive Survey of the Galactic Plane (KISOGP). We visually identified 7055 eclipsing binaries spread across $\sim$330 square degrees, including 4197 W Ursa Majoris/EW-, 1458 $β$ Lyrae/EB-, and 1400 Algol/EA-type eclipsing binaries. For all systems, $I$-band light curves were used to obtain accurate system parameters. We derived the distances and extinction values for the EW-type objects from their period--luminosity relation. We also obtained the structure of the thin disk from the distribution of our sample of eclipsing binary systems, combined with those of high-mass star-forming regions and Cepheid tracers. We found that the thin disk is inhomogeneous in number density as a function of Galactic longitude. Using this new set of distance tracers, we constrain the detailed structure of the thin disk. Finally, we report a global parallax zero-point offset of $ Δπ=-42.1\pm1.9\mbox{(stat.)}\pm12.9\mbox{(syst.)}$ $μ$as between our carefully calibrated EW-type eclipsing binary positions and those provided by Gaia Early Data Release 3. Implementation of the officially recommended parallax zero-point correction results in a significantly reduced offset. Additionally, we provide a photometric characterization of our EW-type eclipsing binaries that can be applied to further analyses.

description: Miles Davis traced his rising fame in the 1950s to changes taking place in society. “There was a new mood coming into the country,” he stated in his autobiography. “Black and white people were starting to get together, and in the music world Uncle Tom images were on their way out.” Describing himself as a “nonconformist”-“cool and hip and angry and sophisticated and ultra clean”-Davis identified with others in that period who were breaking barriers and challenging authority: Martin Luther King leading the Montgomery bus boycott, Marian Anderson appearing as the first black singer at the Metropolitan Opera, Marlon Brando and James Dean gaining popularity as actors by portraying rebels (Davis 1989:197-98). Davis’s bold, brash persona earned him a special degree of respect from black Americans. Writer Amiri Baraka considered the trumpeter his “ultimate culture hero,” someone who embodied “a black attitude that had grown steadily more ubiquitous in the 1950s-defiance” (Baraka 1996:41, 48). Given Davis’s affiliation, first with a group of postwar jazz musicians carving out a new identity for black artists, then with a larger movement engaged in transforming the nation’s cultural and political landscape (including the Beats, Civil Rights activists, Abstract Expressionists, and others), it is remarkable that in 1958 he teamed up with arranger Gil Evans to record an album devoted to Porgy and Bess. Ever since its premiere, the opera by the Gershwins and Heyward had sparked controversy and caused Mrican Americans to speak out in protest.

Optimal conditions for exploring high-density baryonic matter

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Using simple parametrizations of the thermodynamic freeze-out parameters extracted from the data over a wide beam-energy range, we reexpress the hadronic freeze-out line in terms of the underlying dynamical quantities, the net baryon density rhoB and the energy density epsilon, which are subject to local conservation laws. This analysis makes it apparent that rhoB exhibits a maximum as the collision energy is decreased. This maximum freeze-out density has muB=400-500 MeV, which is above the critical value, and it is reached for a fixed-target bombarding energy of 20-30 GeV/A.

The influence of conditioning on internal checking of high-temperature dried Pacific Coast hemlock
Creators: name: Dubois, Joël
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of steam conditioning immediately after drying to reduce internal checking resulting from high-temperature drying of Pacific Coast hemlock lumber. Three different levels of conditioning time, 2, 4 and 6 hours, were carried out on 2 inches wide by 4 inches thick by 3 feet long (51 mm by 102 mm by 0.91 m) , and on 4 inches wide by 4 inches thick by 3 feet long (105 mm by 105 mm by 0.91 m), specimens. For comparison purposes, controls of both sizes of specimens were also high-temperature dried without conditioning. Analysis of the results indicated that internal checking was not significantly reduced by steam conditioning and was more likely to develop afterwards during storage at room temperature, and that total degrade observed in the "4x4" specimens was more excessive than that in the "2x4" ones. The defective "4x4" specimens were found over-dried (below the targeted 12% moisture content) with high core-shell moisture content differences. More internal checking was found when the specimens' final moisture content ranged from 7 to 8%.
Experimental Music in Black and White: The AACM in New York, 1970-1985
Creators: name: Lewis, George E.
Publisher: name: Current Musicology

description: Since its founding on the virtually all-black South Side of Chicago in 1965, the African American musicians’ collective known as the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) has played an unusually prominent role in the development of American experimental music. The composite output of AACM members explores a wide range of methodologies, processes, and media. AACM musicians have developed new ideas about timbre, sound, collectivity, extended technique and instrumentation, performance practice, intermedia, the relationship of improvisation to composition, form, scores, computer music technologies, invented acoustic instruments, installations, and kinetic sculptures. In a 1973 article, two early AACM members, trumpeter John Shenoy Jackson and co-founder and pianist/composer Muhal Richard Abrams, asserted that, “The AACM intends to show how the disadvantaged and the disenfranchised can come together and determine their own strategies for political and economic freedom, thereby determining their own destinies” (Abrams and Jackson 1973:72). This optimistic declaration, based on notions of self-help as fundamental to racial uplift, cultural preservation, and spiritual rebirth, was in accord with many other challenges to traditional notions of order and authority that emerged in the wake of the Black Power Movement.

Steady Stokes flow with long-range correlations, fractal Fourier spectrum, and anomalous transport

description: We consider viscous two-dimensional steady flows of incompressible fluids past doubly periodic arrays of solid obstacles. In a class of such flows, the autocorrelations for the Lagrangian observables decay in accordance with the power law, and the Fourier spectrum is neither discrete nor absolutely continuous. We demonstrate that spreading of the droplet of tracers in such flows is anomalously fast. Since the flow is equivalent to the integrable Hamiltonian system with 1 degree of freedom, this provides an example of integrable dynamics with long-range correlations, fractal power spectrum, and anomalous transport properties.

The superflares of soft Gamma-ray repeatres: giant quakes in solid quark stars?

description: Three times of supergiant flares from soft $γ$-ray repeatres are observed, with typical released energy of $\sim 10^{44-47}$ erg. A conventional model (i.e., the magnetar model) for such events is catastrophic magnetism-powered instability through magnetohydrodynamic process, in which a significant part of short-hard $γ$-ray bursts could also be the results of magnetars. Based on various observational features (e.g., precession, glitch, thermal photon emission) and the underlying theory of strong interaction (quantum chromodynamics, QCD), it could not be ruled out yet that pulsar-like stars might be actually solid quark stars. Strain energy develops during a solid star's life, and starquakes could occur when stellar stresses reach a critical value, with huge energy released. An alternative model for supergiant flares of soft $γ$-ray repeatres is presented, in which energy release during a star quake of solid quark stars is calculated. Numerical results for spherically asymmetric solid stars show that the released gravitational energy during a giant quake could be as high as $10^{48}$ erg if the tangential pressure is slightly higher than the radial one. Difficulties in magnetar models may be overcome if AXPs/SGRs are accreting solid quark stars with mass $\sim (1-2)M_\odot$.
description: Extensive discussions are presented, with a new figure added to show the change of mass and radius of accreting quark stars

description: In this chapter we review some of the basic attack constructions that exploit a stochastic description of the state variables. We pose the state estimation problem in a Bayesian setting and cast the bad data detection procedure as a Bayesian hypothesis testing problem. This revised detection framework provides the benchmark for the attack detection problem that limits the achievable attack disruption. Indeed, the trade-off between the impact of the attack, in terms of disruption to the state estimator, and the probability of attack detection is analytically characterized within this Bayesian attack setting. We then generalize the attack construction by considering information-theoretic measures that place fundamental limits to a broad class of detection, estimation, and learning techniques. Because the attack constructions proposed in this chapter rely on the attacker having access to the statistical structure of the random process describing the state variables, we conclude by studying the impact of imperfect statistics on the attack performance. Specifically, we study the attack performance as a function of the size of the training data set that is available to the attacker to estimate the second-order statistics of the state variables.

description: A good time to listen to Celer’s music is early in the morning, around three o’clock. Any later, and road noise would drown it out. In the album Salvaged Violets, high– and low–pitched tones seep in, barely perceptible even on headphones. They are produced on synthesizers, processors of various sorts, and acoustic instruments, but their timbre is uniformly fragile. There are no abrupt attacks, and decays are always attenuated. These tones are too isolated to congeal into harmony; they merely align with each other momentarily, before washing out with the tide.

The relationship between uncertainty and coping strategies used by long-term kidney transplant patients
Creators: name: Swanson, Dorothy Roberta
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This descriptive correlational study was done to describe the perceptions of uncertainty and coping strategies used by adult kidney transplant patients. In addition, the study was designed to identify relationships between uncertainty and coping strategies used by long-term kidney transplant patients. The stress, appraisal, and coping theory developed by Lazarus and Folkman (1984) served as the theoretical framework. A convenience sample of 88 subjects who received either a living-related or cadaveric donor kidney transplant and were three and more years post-transplant completed the Uncertainty Stress Scale (USS), the revised Jalowiec Coping Scale (JCS), and a patient information sheet. The subjects were mailed the questionnaire. For the majority of patients, this was their first kidney transplant. The number of years that patients had lived with their current kidney transplant ranged from 3.1 to 20.9 years with the majority of patients transplanted under 10 years. Overall, long-term kidney transplant patients perceived moderately low levels of uncertainty. The nature of uncertainty appears to be primarily generated by the indeterminateness of the situation. Numbers of health or medical problems aside from renal disease and educational level appear to be significant factors in the uncertainty of patients with a long-term kidney transplant. More health problems and lower levels of education appear to be associated with higher levels of uncertainty. Kidney transplant patients use various coping strategies to manage uncertainty and the stress it generates. There was a preference to use optimistic, self-reliant, and confrontive coping. There was also a general tendency to use problem oriented forms of coping. Patients appear to concentrate on the elements of hope, positive thinking, control, and a rational and constructive approach to problem-solving. Significant positive relationships between uncertainty and coping strategies supported the stress, appraisal, and coping theory. Findings indicate that patients with higher levels of uncertainty generally tend to use emotion-focused strategies such as evasive, fatalistic, and emotive coping. Long-term kidney transplant patients perceived low levels of stress generated by their uncertainty. The direction and the magnitude of the relationship suggests a significant positive association between uncertainty and stress (r =.94, p =.00). Based upon the findings of this study, implications were suggested for new directions for the provision of effective health care for kidney transplant patients. It is recommended that further research is needed to identify and explore relationships among appraisal, coping strategies, and outcomes of patients with kidney transplants over time.
