The Influence of Journaling On Self-Actualization and Creative Expression

This project is intended to comment on the importance and affect of keeping a journal on the process of becoming self actualized and in the creative expression endeavor from a feminine perspective. It is this author\u27s perception that keeping a journal is a relevant and crucial factor in these two areas of human development. Journaling aids in critical, analytical, reflective thinking and affords an opportunity for creative expression as evidenced by the large number of published journal keepers. The life and writings of Virginia Woolf is used as a case study. Her life and collected writings support the premises noted above. Included in this project is the author\u27s novel, a work that embraces and evidences the beneficial outcomes of keeping a journal

Self-Questioning — An Aid to Metacognition

The attempt of this article is to present the distinction between teacher questioning that characterizes students\u27 textual understanding (product) and questioning that actively engages students in the meaning-making process (process). It is the author\u27s contention that there must be a proper balance between product and process questions in classrooms that support students in their efforts to learn from text as they actively interact with text, the teacher, and each other. Said differently, our aim as educators should be to teach students to think. One method we can use is effective questioning, which piques interest, curiosity, and involvement, and ultimately leads to appropriate self-questioning by students as they internalize the strategy through teacher modeling, instruction, and support in a risk-taking environment composed of a community of learners

Relativistic and Non-Relativistic Proton-Nucleus Scattering

Calculations for proton-nucleus scattering often rely on transition amplitudes. We implement new transition amplitudes [7] with the relativistic equations. We can find the matrix elements of the operators between the usual Dirac spinor basis or the helicity spinor basis. The operators can also be written as a linear combination of non-relativistic spin operators. To transform from one basis to another, we need to find a transformation matrix. We must establish what one of the factors that appears in the transformed expression means in order to correctly complete our transformation matrix. Once this is resolved, our transformation matrix will be complete

Qualitative study to explore the health and well-being impacts on adults providing informal support to female domestic violence survivors

Objectives Domestic violence (DV) is hazardous to survivors\u27 health, from injuries sustained and from resultant chronic physical and mental health problems. Support from friends and relatives is significant in the lives of DV survivors; research shows associations between positive support and the health, well-being and safety of survivors. Little is known about how people close to survivors are impacted. The aim of this study was exploratory, with the following research question: what are the health and well-being impacts on adults who provide informal support to female DV survivors?Design A qualitative study using semistructured interviews conducted face to face, by telephone or using Skype. A thematic analysis of the narratives was carried out.Setting Community-based, across the UK.Participants People were eligible to take part if they had had a close relationship (either as friend, colleague or family member) with a woman who had experienced DV, and were aged 16 or over during the time they knew the survivor. Participants were recruited via posters in community venues, social media and radio advertisement. 23 participants were recruited and interviewed; the majority were women, most were white and ages ranged from mid-20s to 80.Results Generated themes included: negative impacts on psychological and emotional well-being of informal supporters, and related physical health impacts. Some psychological impacts were over a limited period; others were chronic and had the potential to be severe and enduring. The impacts described suggested that those providing informal support to survivors may be experiencing secondary traumatic stress as they journey alongside the survivor.Conclusions Friends and relatives of DV survivors experience substantial impact on their own health and well-being. There are no direct services to support this group. These findings have practical and policy implications, so that the needs of informal supporters are legitimised and met
