Poem for Planeswalkers

Ennis Rook BashePoem for PlaneswalkersFandom: Magic the GatheringPoetryN/ACollection of the authorRating: Teen and upTags: magic the gathering, poetry, metaCreator\u27s notes: Magic: the Gathering is a trading card game. Its storyline focuses on people whose yearning for escape is so strong that it propels them through the Blind Eternities, the void between stars. They’re called Planeswalkers, and they’re the most powerful people in the multiverse. But their powers are often unhelpful when it comes to resolving their most pressing problems, such as overcoming dissociative amnesia, coping with grief, or facing guilt. As a social worker and certified therapeutic dungeon master (in the tabletop gaming sense,) I’m always interested in media properties that subtextually convey something about mental health. From my perspective, the question Magic: the Gathering asks is “What if no box could hold you? What if you could always instantly leave an uncomfortable situation… and what if you still stayed and fought?” -Ennis Rook Bash

Perceptions of HIV and AIDS - related stigma among employees in the parliament of the republic of South Africa

Magister Public Health - MPHThe threat that HIV/AIDS poses to most institutions, including the Parliament of the Republic of South Africa, can potentially be decreased by reducing stigma and discrimination. Parliament’s Policy on HIV and AIDS provides protection for people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) against stigma and discrimination. The purpose of this study was to explore employee perceptions of HIV/AIDS stigma in the Parliament of the Republic of South Africa in order to inform improved anti-stigma strategies and interventions. This exploratory qualitative crosssectional study used individual interviews and focus group discussions among Parliamentary employees to examine perceptions of: HIV/AIDS related stigma in the workplace, the effectiveness of Parliament’s HIV/AIDS response strategy, and how HIV/AIDS-related stigma might be effectively addressed. A total of 49 respondents participated in: a) 19 individual interviews across five employment grades (A-Band to E-Band). b) 4 focus group discussions of 6- 9 people each. Data was analysed using thematic analysis. Five main themes were identified, as well as additional sub-themes. The main themes were: the actual acts of discrimination (enacted stigma), concerns related to disclosure, assumptions and preconceptions about causes and signs of HIV infection, concerns about psychological impact and lack of knowledge and education. Discrimination was generally described as being treated differently, as well as prejudice and negative attitude to a person with HIV/AIDS. More specifically, it was understood as labelling those who are HIV positive negatively and ostracizing them. Gossip and lack of confidentiality were the main barriers to disclosure and testing while weight loss and long term sick leave were interpreted as classic signs of a person who is HIV positive in Parliament. Fear played a major role in these respondents’ accounts of HIV/AIDS related stigma, while the perceived widespread ignorance was attributed to lack of information, knowledge and education. Respondents perceived Parliament’s HIV/AIDS response strategy to be ineffective. They suggested more awareness and training, establishment of support groups, involvement of PLWHA and involvement of Senior Management in addressing HIV/AIDS related stigma in Parliament

The formalization of the informal sector economy : Panacea or Chimera?

In 2011 author Robert Neuwirth identified the global informal sector economy as having a combined Gross Domestic Product (GDP) that is equivalent to the second largest economy in the world behind the United States of America (USA).Studies have shown that the informal sector economy is prevalent in Africa and India which are both considered to be emerging market economies with potential for exponential growth. The GDP of a country is calculated using a total of a countries production of goods and services; however production in the informal sector economy is unaccounted for. The inclusion of their production could potentially boost the economic growth of these emerging market economies.This study aims to observe whether the informal sector economy should be formalized or left as it is in its current state. Despite the ‘problem statement’ in the previous paragraph, which appears to be in favour of formalization, there are advantages and disadvantages for both formalizing the informal sector economy and leaving it in its current state.The objective of this study is to come up with a sustainable strategy of how to manage and administer the informal sector economy as in its current state it is proving to be unsustainable.A two phased approach was used to produce the findings which included interviews with experts and interviews with entrepreneurs operating in the informal sector economy.These findings provided suitable recommendations to be made as to how to manage and administer the informal sector economy.Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2012.Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS)unrestricte

Hva forteller lærere om deres opplevelse av å legge til rette for deltakelse for elever med lærevansker?

Tema i dette studiet retter seg mot å undersøke hvordan lærere opplever å legge til rette for deltakelse for elever med lærevansker. Oppgaven tar i utgangspunkt i deltakelsesperspektivet og belyser hvordan lærere forstår begrepet, og hvordan de tilrettelegger deltakelsen for elevene som har lærevansker. Det teoretiske rammeverket bygger blant annet på de sosiale, faglige, og demokratiske perspektivene på deltakelse som Martinsen (2021) og Marinosson et al. (2007) beskriver. I tillegg inkluderer teorien også det sosiokulturelle perspektiv på læring og deltakelse, og hvordan relasjon og anerkjennelse påvirker elevens deltakelse. Det blir også tatt opp samarbeid mellom lærer og spesialpedagog, og skole og hjem. Problemstillingen i denne oppgaven er: Hva forteller lærere om deres opplevelse av å legge til rette for deltakelse for elever med lærevansker? Oppgaven baserer seg på en kvalitativ studie med en fenomenologisk og hermeneutisk tilnærming, og det benyttes en semistrukturert intervjuguide. I studiet er det blitt gjennomført intervjuer med tre lærere som arbeider på ulike klassetrinn. Analysen baseres på den tematiske analysen til Braun & Clarkes (2021). Funnene viser at lærerne vektlegger betydningen av relasjon og anerkjennelse, lage differensierte undervisningsopplegg, og aktiviteter i klassen som skal fremme elevenes deltakelse. Samarbeid med eksterne instanser blir også sett som viktige faktorer for å fremme likeverdig deltakelse for elever med lærevansker
