description: The horizon is a visual example of a distance that is physically unreachable. In this document, I define the horizon as both a metaphoric place where longing resides and also a physical site that can be seen. In other words, the horizon is an in-between space that we can perceive, but never physically reach. I believe that this is where longing resides. Longing for people, places, things, or communities that are somehow lost or unreachable. My work is adding to the discussions currently taking place around home, identity/belonging, and broader discussions of displacement within society. We are in interesting times, where technology has taken over our daily lives and our own hands have lost touch with the fabrics of our heritage, leaving us longing for connections we no longer understand. That is where my practice lives, within the distance between physical and metaphorical, interpersonal and introspective. Through the use of hand labor, familial skills and craft processes I am able to connect to the in between space where longing resides, allowing myself the ability to reconnect with people, places, and culture missed. The relationship between my body, the land, and traditional processes has pushed my own understanding of longing in relation to my cultural and societal identity.

description: The second half of the 1990s saw the emergence of a new, distinctive type of Afghan poetry, the Taliban tarana performed in Pashto by one or more vocalists without instrumental accompaniment and characterised by the melodic modes of local folk music. Over the last fifteen years the tarana chants have gained wide distribution within Afghanistan and Pashto speaking parts of Pakistan, as well as among the Pashtun diaspora. Considering their unambiguous ideological status and their immense popularity within the country of origin they can be regarded as the signature tune of the Afghan insurgency. The present article, which focuses on the literary roots of these songs, attempts to demonstrate that their authors are following century old patterns of Pashto oral and written poetry while adopting traditional material to the needs and the milieu of contemporary Afghan society. The publication is supplemented by a transcription and English translation of five tarana chants.

description: Purpose: Physical activity and sedentary behavior among diverse Hispanic/Latino youth in the United States is not well documented. The aim of this study was to describe physical activity and sedentary behavior among a representative sample of Hispanic/Latino youth from four US communities using accelerometry and self-reported measures. Methods: From 2012 to 2014, 1466 Hispanic/Latino youth ages 8 to 16 yr, children of participants in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos, enrolled in the SOL youth. Physical activity and sedentary behavior were assessed by interview. After this, youth wore an Actical accelerometer for 1 wk. All statistical analyses accounted for the complex survey design and used sampling weights. Results: The accelerometer wear time adjusted mean minutes per day was: 604.6, sedentary; 178.9, light; 25.4, moderate; and 10.2, vigorous. Generally, higher levels of moderate and vigorous activity occurred among males, Mexican backgrounds, and youth age 8 to 10 yr compared with older age groups. Higher levels of sedentary behavior occurred among youth age 15 to 16 yr compared with younger age groups. The most common activities (reported, ≥1 per month) were of lower intensity, including listening to music (91.9%), homework (87.0%), riding in car/bus (84.3%), and hanging out with friends (83.4%). Common active pursuits included travel by walking (74.6%), physical education class (71.7%), running (71.4%), and recess (71.3%). Conclusions: Time, intensity, and type of physical activity and sedentary behavior varied among Hispanic/Latino youth. These findings can inform efforts to increase physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior among US Hispanic/Latino youth.

description: Latino adults are more likely to be diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) at later stages compared to white adults which may be explained by disparities in screening rates. The aim of this study was to examine factors associated with three CRC screening indicators [i.e., 1) any CRC screening ever (via, fecal occult blood test (FOBT), sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy); 2) FOBT in last year, 3) sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy in last 10 years) among US Hispanics/Latinos. We analyzed population-based data collected in 2008–2011 from 2265 adults aged 50–75 from San Diego, Bronx, Miami and Chicago from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos Sociocultural Ancillary Study. Based on the Behavioral Model of Health Services Use, the following correlates of CRC screening were examined: predisposing (i.e., age, education, income, acculturation), enabling (i.e., recent physician visit, insurance, recent mammogram), and need (i.e., health-related quality of life and family/personal history of cancer) factors. Separate logistic regression models were analyzed for the three CRC screening indicators. Enabling factors associated with all CRC screening indicators included: health insurance, a recent physician visit, and a mammogram in the last year (women only). For women, being older, more acculturated (i.e., English language or foreign-born but in the US for 10 or more years), and having a personal history of cancer was associated with at least one CRC screening. Findings suggest that improving access and utilization of care among Hispanics/Latinos may be critical for earlier CRC diagnosis and survival.

description: This research projects seeks to explore the potential for clothing to act as a socio-political medium that interrogates the emerging nature of personalized media environments. Social media platforms, governed by online algorithms, have altered the context in which we currently receive information (Steeg Galstyan, 2012; Romero et al., 2010). This new and private media environment is often personalized to a degree that it can have an impact on our decision-making (Erkan Evans, 2016; Liu et al., 2015). Using a “research through design” (Frayling, 1993) approach, the project proposes a system that allows participants to act as ‘publishers’ by bringing the content of their private media streams into public view, by incorporating them onto clothing. The resulting garments exist not only in a fashion context, but also act as a platform for civic engagement.

description: Cemeteries are often seen as monofunctional spaces for burial and mourning and, within the dynamically changing urban fabric, as a planning conundrum. Long periods of stability have also turned these untouched and hidden places into refugia for nature and wildlife. In booming and dense cities with high land use pressures and housing shortages, in particular, as the amount of burial ground needed per citizen decreases and burial cultures change, the cemetery has become a contested nature, as a simultaneous space of emotion, commerce and community. We revisited the diversity and ontogenesis of cemeteries, and the interactions with neighboring uses of the urban matrix. Our review demonstrates a wide range of different ecosystem services of urban cemeteries, beyond potential as hotspots of culture and biodiversity. We highlight their multifunctional character and the need for a holistic and trans-disciplinary evaluation using multistakeholder approaches to further develop cemeteries as a crucial element of sustainable urban landscapes.

description: This thesis investigates how branding can be used to celebrate the historical identity of Ahmedabad, India. Branding a city can be a difficult task because cities are complex and constantly evolving. For a richly diverse and geographically vast country like India, it can be particularly challenging. The existing brand identity for Ahmedabad lacks an extensive, consistent visual identity system and uses stereotypical Indian motifs to represent the city. The thesis explores Ahmedabad’s colonial, pre-colonial and post-colonial heritage to find visual vernacular that is true to the region. These concentrated communication design-based studio explorations inform a larger exercise to represent the city of Ahmedabad visually. Other design research methods include photo analysis, case studies, observations and personal reflection. The thesis proposes a flexible brand identity system to capture the multiple realities of the city, its people, its tradition and cultural heritage. The final studio project is inspired by the windows of Ahmedabad. From 600-year-old monuments to residential pol houses to modernist buildings — windows have displayed a wide range of architectural heritage and played a huge role in defining what is important to Amdavadis. The research also creates a generic module that can be used to brand other Indian cities by looking at its tangible, intangible cultural heritage and its visual vernacular or graphic past.

description: Missing data due to non-wear are common in accelerometer studies measuring physical activity and sedentary behavior. Accelerometer outputs are high-dimensional time-series data that are episodic and often highly skewed, presenting unique challenges for handling missing data. Common methods for missing accelerometry either are ad-hoc, require restrictive parametric assumptions, or do not appropriately impute bouts. This study developed a flexible hot-deck multiple imputation (MI; i.e., “replacing” missing data with observed values) procedure to handle missing accelerometry. For each missing segment of accelerometry, “donor pools” contained observed segments from either the same or different participants, and ten imputed segments were randomly drawn from the donor pool according to selection weights, where the donor pool and selection weight depended on variables associated with non-wear and/or accelerometer-based measures. A simulation study of 2550 women compared hot deck MI to two standard methods in the field: available case (AC) analysis (i.e., analyzing all observed accelerometry with no restriction on wear time or number of days) and complete case (CC) analysis (i.e., analyzing only participants that wore the accelerometer for ≥ 10 h for 4–7 days). This was repeated using accelerometry from the entire 24-h day and daytime (10am–8pm) only, and data were missing at random. For the entire 24-h day, MI produced less bias and better 95% confidence interval (CI) coverage than AC and CC. For the daytime only, MI produced less bias and better 95% CI coverage than AC; CC produced similar bias and 95% CI coverage, but longer 95% CIs than MI.

description: Objective: Each year, more than 30,000 deaths occur on U.S. roads. Recognizing the magnitude and persistence of this public health problem, a number of U.S. cities have adopted a relatively new approach to prevention, termed Vision Zero (VZ). VZ has been adopted by more than 30 U.S. cities and calls for creating a transportation system that ensures that no road traffic crash results in death or serious injury. A core component of VZ is strong multidisciplinary and multisector stakeholder engagement, and cities adopting VZ often establish a VZ coalition to foster stakeholder collaboration. However, there is little information on the structure, development, and functioning of coalitions working to achieve VZ and on tools available to study and evaluate such coalition functioning. We sought to describe the characteristics of prominent U.S. VZ city coalitions and context surrounding VZ uptake and advancement in these cities. Moreover, we demonstrate use of network analysis as one tool for exploring the structure of interorganizational relationships in coalitions. Methods: We conducted case studies of 4 prominent U.S. VZ city coalitions in 2017–2018. We summarized coalition members’ characteristics and responses to questions about their cities’ VZ adoption, planning, and implementation. We asked each coalition member to provide information on their contact frequency, perceived productivity, and resource sharing with every other coalition member in their city and used network analysis techniques in 2 cities to understand the structures and relationships in coalitions. Results: Findings indicated that government agencies generally constituted the majority of coalition members and often played central roles in terms of coalition network contact, productivity, and resource flow. Other emerging similarities regarding coalition establishment and VZ implementation included the need for political support, the importance of formal plan development, and increased collaboration and cooperation among partners. Conclusions: Organizational network analyses, enriched with coalition member interviews, can elucidate key aspects of coalition creation, attributes, and relationship structure. The case studies of leading VZ coalition networks presented here highlight the use of these tools. Ultimately, understanding associations between VZ network structures and attributes and road safety outcomes could help inform effective coalition adoption, implementation, and maintenance to optimize safety outcomes.

description: Objective: We set out to determine if a primarily Internet-delivered behavioral weight loss intervention produced differential weight loss in African American and non-Hispanic White women, and to identify possible mediators. Design: Data for this analysis were from a randomized controlled trial, collected at baseline and 4-months. Setting: The intervention included monthly face-to-face group sessions and an Internet component that participants were recommended to use at least once weekly. Participants: We included overweight or obese African American and non-Hispanic White women (n=170), with at least weekly Internet access, who were able to attend group sessions. Intervention: Monthly face-to-face group sessions were delivered in large or small groups. The Internet component included automated tailored feedback, self-monitoring tools, written lessons, video resources, problem solving, exercise action planning tools, and social support through message boards. Main outcome measure: Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate race group differences in weight change. Results: Non-Hispanic White women lost more weight than African American women (-5.03% vs.-2.39%, P=.0002). Greater website log-ins and higher change in Eating Behavior Inventory score in non-Hispanic White women partially mediated the race-weight loss relationship. Conclusions: The weight loss disparity may be addressed through improved website engagement and adoption of weight control behaviors.

description: In recent years, it has become feasible to use devices for assessing physical activity and sedentary behavior among large numbers of participants in epidemiologic studies, allowing for more precise assessments of these behaviors and quantification of their associations with health outcomes. Between 2011–2015, the Women’s Health Study (WHS) used the Actigraph GT3X+ device to measure physical activity and sedentary behavior over seven days, during waking hours, among 17,708 women (Mage, 72 years) living throughout the United States. Devices were sent to and returned by participants via mail. We describe here the methods used to collect and process the accelerometer data for epidemiologic data analyses. We also provide metrics that describe the quality of the accelerometer data collected, as well as expanded findings regarding previously published associations of physical activity or sedentary behavior with all-cause mortality during an average follow-up of 2.3 years (207 deaths). The WHS is one of the earliest “next generation” epidemiologic studies of physical activity, utilizing wearable devices, in which long-term follow-up of participants for various health outcomes is anticipated. It therefore serves as a useful case study in which to discuss unique challenges and issues faced.

description: We introduce a modified factorization formalism in quantum chromodynamics for hadronic production of $W$ and $Z$ bosons at large transverse momentum $p_T$. When $p_T$ is much larger than the invariant mass $Q$ of the vector boson, this new factorization formalism systematically resums the large fragmentation logarithms, $α_s^m\ln^m(p_T^2/Q^2)$, to all orders in the strong coupling $α_s$. Using our modified factorization formalism, we calculate the next-to-leading order (NLO) predictions for $W$ and $Z$ boson production at high $p_T$ at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and at a future 100 TeV proton-proton collider. Our NLO results are about $5\%$ larger in normalization, and they show improved convergence and moderate reduction of the scale variation compared to the NLO predictions derived in a conventional fixed-order perturbative expansion.

description: Extended wait time in healthcare affects the experience and overall perception of care for outpatients as well as the stress it puts on the clinical team that is providing treatment services. Through this research, some factors like the lack of information about treatment encounters, and insufficient interaction and understanding of what goes on behind-the-scenes during waiting periods have been seen to contribute to extended wait times. Wait time affects more than just the physical wellbeing, but also the aspects of the economic and psychological aspects of the patient (Chu, Holly, et al., 8). Therefore, the goal of this research was to use participatory methods to understand and identify potential design opportunities that can help improve the outpatient experience by reducing the effect of the factors that contribute to the extended wait periods. This research is carried out at Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Center, an outpatient facility in Surrey, British Columbia. The research goes through phases of needs finding through exploratory prototyping with stakeholders, which includes mapping the outpatient journey during their visit to the facility. Afterward, based on the insights that were gathered through these exploratory activities, the next was to conduct participatory design workshops, including an interview with health professionals. The outcome of these activities was a potential design opportunity that would give outpatients more information about their treatment encounter, and what happens behind-the-scenes as a way of improving their experience during extended wait periods. The design opportunity that was prototyped and iterated on is called the patient pathway. It includes an app prototype, an armband, and an information board.

description: This paper lays out the thinking process and decisions taken in an artistic methodology and an emerging thesis project. Here, imagination, reflection and projection are interpreted both as methods in looking and as inner spaces; they are ways to see and ways to be, and the main topic of this research. States of mind and of vision are explored through observation and introspection. Walking, transit and travel are ways employed to allow a slowness in looking and an opportunity to daydream. These experiences in space and time are recorded through methods of writing, photography and videography. I build installations in which this translation from moment to media is displayed to create an immersion for the viewer to be in. In the multimedia installations, the gallery becomes a space in which to reflect and project: it too allows a slowness in looking, thinking and noticing.
title: Why 'historic' abuse? Experiences of children reporting abuse historically
Creators: name: Karim, Samina
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2017

description: This article presents findings from a research study undertaken with twenty-one adult victims/survivors of historic abuse in care from Scotland. The research highlights how children experiencing abuse in the past faced significant barriers in relation to reporting their abuse to the adults they had access to in their lives. The key themes highlighted via the research answer two questions: why did children not disclose their abuse experiences historically? ; And how did adults respond to children's disclosures of abuse historically? The findings demonstrate that for some victims/survivors of abuse, the issues related to the reporting of abuse have substantially contributed to the abuse becoming 'historic', rather than something which was addressed in the time, space and context within which it occurred.

description: Introduction: Regular physical activity appears to attenuate or even reverse age-related arterial stiffening. Yet, it is not clear if the reduced stiffening associated with habitual physical activity is also observed in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: Among 3893 older adults in a prospective cohort study, we associated physical activity with measures of central arterial stiffness (via carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity or cfPWV) and pressure pulsatility (via central pulse pressure or cPP). We also examined the association of long-term habitual physical activity, measured as persistence in physical activity levels from mid-life to late-life, with cfPWV and cPP among 1747 participants. Results: The adjusted mean difference in cfPWV was lower, reflecting less arterial stiffness, for those with moderate (ß¼0.30m/s) or high (ß¼0.38m/s) physical activity compared with no physical activity. The adjusted mean difference in cPP was also lower for those with high (ß¼2.49mmHg) physical activity, relative to no physical activity. Stronger effect estimates were observed among those with persistent physical activity from mid-life to late-life. Conclusion: Higher physical activity in late-life, and habitual physical activity from mid-life to late-life, is associated with lower central arterial stiffness and pressure pulsatility in a large population-based sample of community-dwelling older adults.

description: Background: Physical activity has many benefits for young children's health and overall development, but few studies have investigated how early care and education centers allot time for physical activity, along with measured individual physical activity levels for indoor/outdoor activities during a typical day. Methods: Fifty early care and education centers in central North Carolina participated in 4 full-day observations, and 559 children aged 3-5 years within centers wore accelerometers assessing physical activity during observation days. Observation and physical activity data were linked and analyzed for associations between child activity and type of classroom activity. Results: Children averaged 51 (13) minutes per day of moderate to vigorous physical activity and 99 (18) minutes per day of light physical activity while in child care. Children averaged 6 (10) and 10 (13) minutes per day of observed outdoor and indoor daily teacher-led physical activity, respectively. Outdoor time averaged 67 (49) minutes per day, and physical activity levels were higher during outdoor time than during common indoor activities (center time, circle time, and TV time). Conclusions: Physical activity levels varied between indoor and outdoor class activities. Policy and program-related efforts to increase physical activity in preschoolers should consider these patterns to leverage opportunities to optimize physical activity within early care and education centers.
The targum (1886:June 11)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1886

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Universities have a key role in the initial training for teachers, therefore they can contribute to innovate school, e.g. by proposing students-centered teaching. This article presents the chemistry course activated by the University of Florence as part of the PF24 programme. The course presented contents that were inspired by the most advanced research in chemistry teaching through a problem-based and laboratory approach. The course has obtained good results both in terms of interest shown by attendants and objectives achieved. PF24 e formazione docenti: una proposta di approccio laboratoriale Le Università giocano un ruolo essenziale nella formazione iniziale dei docenti, potendo così contribuire al cambiamento della scuola dal suo interno e all’introduzione di didattiche incentrate sugli studenti. In questo articolo si presenta il corso di didattica della chimica attivato dall’Università di Firenze nell’ambito del PF24. Il corso ha presentato contenuti ispirati alla più aggiornata ricerca in didattica della chimica attraverso un approccio problem-based e laboratoriale.

description: This longitudinal study described park usage and assessed the contribution of parks to moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among adolescent girls. High school girls from California (n = 131) and Minnesota (n = 134) wore a global positioning system (GPS) monitor and accelerometer for 6 consecutive days at two time points, one year apart. Park visits were classified by linking the GPS, accelerometer, and park and built environment data around home and school locations into a geographic information system. At baseline, 20% of girls visited a park at least once (mean 0.1 times/day), which was similar one year later (19%, mean 0.1 times/day). Girls lived a mean Euclidean distance of 0.2 miles to the nearest park at both times. Among all park visits, the mean Euclidean distance of the park visited was 4.1 (baseline) and 3.9 miles (follow-up). The average duration of park visits was higher at baseline (63.9 minutes) compared to follow-up (38.4 minutes). On days when a park was visited, MVPA was higher than on days when a park was not visited. On average, 1.9% (baseline) and 2.8% (follow-up) of MVPA occurred in parks. In this study, parks were an under-used resource for adolescent girls, particularly for MVPA.

description: Reputation-based Governance (Rebag) is a framework to address
governance problems that hinges on the reputation of the relevant actors. It functions
thanks to an appropriate Web-based information system that encompasses the
concept of Internet-based Reputation System, of which eBay represents an example.
Rebag-Ware is a demonstrator of such an information system, showing an
application of the proposed governance model to the management of public works.
Rebag provides strong incentives to the actors of governance to behave efficiently
and honestly. It allows for the computation of routine statistics that are used to fight
corruption. Also, it allows for very advanced forms of public involvement that
include participative planning and budgeting.
In the paper, Rebag-Ware 1.0 is used to show some of the characteristics of the
proposed model of governance. The site of the project is http://www.rebag.it.

description: Reliable and stable environmental audit instruments are needed to successfully identify the physical and social attributes that may influence physical activity. This study described the reliability and stability of the PIN3 environmental audit instrument in both urban and rural neighborhoods. Four randomly sampled road segments in and around a one-quarter mile buffer of participants’ residences from the Pregnancy, Infection, and Nutrition (PIN3) study were rated twice, approximately 2 weeks apart. One year later, 253 of the year 1 sampled roads were re-audited. The instrument included 43 measures that resulted in 73 item scores for calculation of percent overall agreement, kappa statistics, and log-linear models. For same-day reliability, 81% of items had moderate to outstanding kappa statistics (kappas ≥ 0.4). Two-week reliability was slightly lower, with 77% of items having moderate to outstanding agreement using kappa statistics. One-year stability had 68% of items showing moderate to outstanding agreement using kappa statistics. The reliability of the audit measures was largely consistent when comparing urban to rural locations, with only 8% of items exhibiting significant differences (α < 0.05) by urbanicity. The PIN3 instrument is a reliable and stable audit tool for studies assessing neighborhood attributes in urban and rural environments.
Standing spin wave mode in RFIM at T=0: Patterns and nonequilibrium phases

description: The dynamical responses of random field Ising model at zero temperature, driven by standing magnetic field wave, is studied by Monte Carlo simulation in two dimensions. The three different kinds of distribution of quenched random field are used here, uniform, bimodal and Gaussian. In all cases, three distinct dynamical phases were observed, namely, the pinned, structured and random. In the pinned phase no spin flip is observed. In the structured phase standing spin wave modes are observed. The random phase is shown no regular pattern. For a fixed value of the amplitude of the standing magnetic field wave, in the region of small quenched field, the system remains in a pinned phase. In the intermediate range of values of random field, a standing spin wave mode (structured phase) is observed. The regular pattern of this spin wave mode disappears for higher values of random field yielding a random phase. The comprehensive phase baundaries are drawn in all three cases. The boundary of pinned phase are analytically calculated for uniform and bimodal types of quenched random fields.

description: Lack of physical activity is a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases worldwide, estimated to have contributed to 5.3 million or 9% of all deaths in 2008. The World Health Organization recommends for youth 5 to 17 years at least one hour daily of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and for adults at least 150 minutes per week of moderate, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, or an equivalent combination of the two. Identifying modifiable risk factors associated with lack of physical activity, including those factors occurring early in life, can contribute to our understanding of how to enhance population-level physical activity and reduce morbidity and mortality burden from lack of physical activity worldwide.

description: Автором обозначены проблемы и противоречия реализации реформы российского обра-зования в современных социальных условиях. Проблема правильного профессионального са-моопределения и выбора профессии актуальна в настоящее время в связи с изменением соци-ально-экономической ситуации в стране и изменениями на рынке труда. Анализируются неко-торые проблемы профессионального самоопределения российской молодежи в социальном контексте современности. Рассматриваются мотивы профессионального выбора молодежи, проблемы профессиональной адаптации молодежи в современных социально-экономических условиях. Из-за сложностей трудоустройства по специальности, связанных с требованием опы-та работа, низкой оплатой труда, малым количеством вакансий на рынке труда, выпускники ву-зов вынуждены искать альтернативные варианты трудоустройства, в результате чего они теря-ют полученные в ходе обучения в вузе профессиональные навыки. Современные социальные реалии предполагают получение человеком непрерывного об-разования в течение всей жизни. Сегодня складывается ситуация, когда после получения про-фессионального образования молодые люди не находят работу и продолжают свое образова-ние, порой совершенно в другом направлении. Показано, что современная молодежь в изме-няющихся социально-экономических условиях все больше направлена на индивидуальный ус-пех; экономическая заинтересованность превалирует над аспектами личностной или профес-сиональной самореализации.
