Enoch Arden in the Hope Shelter

release date: Jan 01, 2006
Enoch Arden in the Hope Shelter
Ciel is catatonic and will only express herself through Strauss''s music on the piano and through classical song, while Jabber moves in and out of psychotic delusion. Their lives are desperate but they find peace, refuge, and blissful love in performing their own wild and woolly personalized version of Tennyson''s classic epic poem "Enoch Arden." This is a play about the truly redemptive and empowering nature of art, and how it can be recreated and reclaimed by anyone with the hunger and the will to do so.Based on Tennyson''s "Enoch Arden" and the melodrama for piano by Richard Strauss.

Invoking the Moral Imagination

release date: Jan 01, 2006
Invoking the Moral Imagination
The title and question guiding this inquiry is: "Invoking the moral imagination: What can a dialogue between social healing practitioners reveal about how compassion arises in the process of social healing?" the impetus for this study has evolved from my decades as a social healing practitioner, and a deep respect for the courage and moral imagination of my colleagues who have been steadily persevering in attempts to build bridges between those alienated by conflict, violence and dehumanization. As such, this study is designed to benefit the field of practice by offering a conceptual framework of how compassion arises in the process of social healing. Grounded in the premises of connected and participatory knowing, the study utilizes a three-day dialogue between twenty-five international peacebuilders in September 2002 as the means for data collection. the results of this inquiry illustrate that consistent themes have emerged from peacebuilding practice, even as they did in the dialogue itself, which point to compassion''s role and potential in healing ruptured relationships by establishing broader identity parameters and allowing for an experience of common humanity. This inquiry fits into an emerging trend in the field of peace studies, which I have termed social healing. the social healing paradigm uses a relational healing lens through which to view conflict transformation and peacebuilding. It addresses the ways in which people and groups have been harmed through structural and direct violence, and seeks to discover the means to heal the destructive psychological and social consequences of that wounding. It is the informing paradigm for the fields of transitional justice, restorative justice and reconciliation.

An Investigation Into the Use of Ultrasound as a Method of Assessment of Pelvic Floor Muscle Function and Dysfunction

release date: Jan 01, 2006
An Investigation Into the Use of Ultrasound as a Method of Assessment of Pelvic Floor Muscle Function and Dysfunction
The differences in PFM activity between the continent and incontinent women were more marked during functional activities. The significant correlation between the measurements of bladder neck elevation during PFM contraction and measurements of PFM strength, support the use of ultrasound in the assessment of PFM function. The moderate correlation between measurement tools suggests a combination of assessment tools is required to evaluate the different aspects of PFM function. The results of this doctoral research add to the body of research on the evaluation of PFM function. Twenty three percent of the women in this study were performing PFM exercises incorrectly. PFM exercises are not simplistic. All muscles surrounding the abdomino-pelvic cavity need to be considered when doing a PFM contraction. Assessment of the PFM should included assessment of the voluntary PFM contractions and the functional activation of the PFM. Individual PFM assessment and training with a skilled practitioner is recommended in the management of urinary incontinence. This thesis forms a basis for future research into understanding the role of the PFM in continence.

Sled

release date: Jan 01, 1997
Sled
From the author of Lion in the Streets, White Biting Dog, and The Crackwalker, comes a searing and poetic look at ourselves, our society, and our mythology. Sled begins and ends in the Canadian North, a world of unforgiving isolation and mystical change. The other landscape is a Toronto neighbourhood which proves to be equally harsh and mythical under its quiet surface. This is a play of tragic destiny that addresses the "painful infection in our strong, our red heart", the red heart being the red maple leaf on our flag, and the pain: the painful mysteries of being human.
