The Impact of Environmental Factors on Caregiver Perception for Caregiving Dyads

Data from the CG ASSIST program were evaluated to investigate whether modifying shared environmental factors within caregiving dyads influences caregiver perceptions. Revisions to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) framework for cohabitating care-partners are proposed to emphasize the entwined connections between caregivers and care recipients. Eleven older Veteran care-recipients and their informal caregivers participated in a randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether an in-home training intervention with assistive technology influenced how caregivers perceived the level of assistance they provided and the level of care needed by their care-recipients. Caregivers who received the training (Training Group, n=6) perceived their assistance as more appropriate and more accurately assessed their care-recipient’s needs than caregivers who were not trained (Novice Group, n=5). Though more research is needed, the proposed ICF revisions appear to be a viable framework to illustrate complex interactions within cohabitating caregiving dyads

The senior high school boys\u27 glee club : a study of its organization, maintenance, vocal problems and selections of music

Information received, during interview with eight prominent music educators and from questionnaire responses of ninety-two music educators, indicates almost unanimously that there are four general problems of the senior high school boys’ glee club which need serious consideration: organization, maintenance, vocal problem and selection of music. It has been the purpose of this study to investigate the foregoing four general problems, report findings and to recommend procedures to aid senior high school boys’ glee club directors in solving their problems

"Exegetical Torture" in Early Christian Biblical Interpretation: The Case of Origen of Alexandria

This essay engages Page duBois’s work on torture and truth to contextualize a curious logic in Origen of Alexandria’s exegetical method. That logic insisted on “torturing” (Greek, basanos) the text in the style of a forensic investigation. From Thucydides to Galen and Origen, this vocabulary of exegetical torture figured texts as uncooperative witnesses in a situation familiar to ancient readers from the courtroom and in their own households. This agonistic paradigm of torture and truth offers the best interpretative context in which to read Origen’s call for the basanos – a metaphor very much alive in his work and world. The study concludes by connecting exegesis and martyrology as discourses in early Christian literary culture, which share the same fundamentally agonistic rhetoric of cross-examination
