Lacuna: Transcendence of the Human Body through the Space Between

This essay examines the author’s choreography, Lacuna, and research integral to its representation. During the choreographic process, experimentation of how the human body moves in relation to different architectural space was observed. In collaboration with the cast of dancers, cohesion of personal experiences in particular locations was evaluated: specifically, investigation of how environments has the ability to trigger habits or patterns of movement from both past and present experiences. A closer look at how the body responds on a visceral level to the physical and emotional sense of place is described. Although the choreographic piece, Lacuna, came to be structured in aesthetic form (just as architecture is structured), Lacuna, nonetheless, held depth of freedom for open interpretation. Overarchingly, the author investigates the nature of space and its effect on our humanity; here we see the translation of psychological response into physiological artistry. In the end, movement vocabulary is not randomly arranged; ultimately, there is order. Paradoxically, this order originates from and transcends, one’s personal relationship with space

Age-related changes in taste and gustatory response and feeding behaviour in the stabled horse

There is a paucity of research relating to the anatomy and physiology of gustation and olfaction in the horse. Moreover, whilst an age-related decline in gustation and olfaction has been recorded in humans, no such study has been conducted in the horse. The horse is reliant on gustation and olfaction to make appropriate decisions relating to both short and long term diet selection and thus, any compromise in function, has implications for food intake and potentially welfare. The principal aim of this study was to establish if, and to what extent, taste andgustatory responses are affected by age in the horse. Horses were allocated to the age groups Young (2-5 years), Middle (8-14 years) and Old (16 plus years) for the study of taste (n=18) and to Young (4-6 years), Middle (10-14 years) and Old (16 plus years) for the study of gustation (n=18). Individual taste responses and gustatory responses (taste in the absence of additional olfactory cues) were identified using two-choice preference testing and monadic testing. Statistical analysis was conducted using Minitab 14.0 and behaviour data was analysed using The Observer 5.0 (Noldus, Netherlands). No effect of age on taste response or gustatory response was recorded

The Psychological Well-Being of Divorced Fathers: A Theoretical Model and Projection

The U.S. divorce rate increased substantially from WWII until the 1980\u27s. Although the number of divorces decreased marginally in the past decade, the number of marriages also decreased, causing the divorce rate to remain nearly unchanged from 2000 to 2010. The most frequently cited negative effect of divorce and separation is perhaps the loss of father-child contact, although little research was dedicated to understanding the post-divorce outcomes of fathers - especially with regard to their long-term outcomes. The present study assessed how several factors (e.g. parenting decisions, custody status, parenting efficacy, and parenting encouragement) influenced divorced fathers\u27 psychological well-being. Results from a path analysis showed that participants who did not maintain full or shared custody experienced reduced parenting opportunities and well-being. Implications for community psychologists and policy makers are discussed
