▼ This project concerns a deeply contested moral ideal: autonomy. To be autonomous is to have authority over one’s self and to govern one’s life on the basis ofvalue commitments one deems important. One of the dominant views of liberalism – antiperfectionist comprehensive liberalism – distinguishes itself from other liberal views because it grants unique privilege to the ideal of autonomy in personal and political life.Will Kymlicka is one of the most prominent defenders of antiperfectionist comprehensive liberalism and while he appeals to the ideal of autonomy in his liberalism, he is not clear about which theory of autonomy he is appealing to. As a result, his theory of autonomy is sketchy and incomplete. As an autonomy theorist, I think that there is more Kymlicka can say to elaborate on the view of autonomy operating in his theory of liberalism. Kymlicka has not explained whether his view is a procedural, or substantive, or a socio-relationalview and these exhaust the kinds of views of autonomy in the literature, so Kymlicka's view must be one of these. It is important for Kymlicka to be clear on the view of autonomy he incorporates because each theory has its own motivating assumptions and standards for what counts as an autonomous choice. In addition, it is important for Kymlicka to be clear about the theory of autonomy in his liberalism, because, in somecases, the standards for autonomy may be inconsistent with his liberal commitments. In this project, I argue that Kymlicka incorporates a socio-relational view of autonomy in his liberalism.

▼ This project introduces the case of the Feminist Female Slave [FFS], a female submissive in a BDSM relationship with a male Master. This case is used in order to strengthen discourse in three main areas: feminist relational autonomy, BDSM theory, and feminist community politics. I argue that the FFS offers a case in which feminist autonomy theorists can serve to grow and develop their own approaches in a way that is inclusive of the diversity of women’s sexual expression, as she challenges our narrow notions of female subservience and asks us to rethink what it means to express an autonomous women’s sexuality. In BDSM theory she asks us to reflect upon our reliance upon superficial notions of consent and the lack of space for a critical dialogue, and finally, in feminist politics she asks us to consider what it means to belong to feminist communities, or what it means to feel as if one can lay claim to a feminist identity. Each of these considerations is brought to light in this project because of the interesting balance that the FFS’s relationship holds between her feminist identity, sexual politics, and sexual and romantic practices.

Non-Ideal Autonomy in Relationships of Care.

▼ In moral and political philosophy, autonomy is generally theorized as a right exercised by independent, self-reflective, rational, adult persons. Feminist philosophers have challenged this picture by emphasizing that critical reflection as well as relationships and dependencies are integral to what it means to exercise autonomy. This work addresses the implications of necessitating cognitive processes such as critical reflection for autonomy in legal guardianships. In a guardianship, a court determines that a person (i.e., the ward) is ‘incapable’ of legal decision-making and appoints someone else (i.e., the guardian) to make decisions on her behalf. This is problematic because a state bill of rights statute may simultaneously require that a ward’s autonomy be respected by the guardian. Here, there is a gap between our philosophical conceptions of autonomy and how real cognitively diverse people experience it. In response to this gap, a non-ideal approach treats autonomy as a fundamental need rather than a right, suspends cognitive ideals and instead attends to diverse experiences of it. Approaching autonomy in this way has the potential to more meaningfully inform expectations of care within legal guardianships.

▼ Representing one of the influential motivational variables on learning, interest includes both cognitive and affective components, arising from the interplay between an individual and a particular content and environment (Dewey, 1913; Hidi, Renninger, and Krapp, 2004). According to Hidi & Renninger (2004), interest can develop from situational to individual interest and be strengthened along with external support. On the basis of their propositions, this report explores how student interest may be intensified by enhancing cognitive facets of interest through the teacher’s instructional support.
From the perspective of self-determination theory (SDT), support for
autonomy as a contextual factor has been reported as a catalyst for student interest and engagement. In particular, Stefanou, Perencevich, DiCintio, and Turner (2004) stressed the importance of cognitive
autonomy support as an instructional support in terms of deep-level thinking and cognitive engagement in comparison to other types of
autonomy support such as by providing students choice in class.
This report explores how different levels and types of student interest are associated with different types of
autonomy support in an educational setting, focusing on cognitive aspects. Using a path analysis, this paper presents a full model to undergird a study of the direct and indirect relationships between student interest, different types of
autonomy support, and cognitive engagement.

▼ This study aimed to determine if manipulation of two basic psychological needs,
autonomy and relatedness, each had independent effects on inducing state authenticity. Participants were randomly assigned to a condition where their
autonomy need was either fulfilled or unfulfilled and their relatedness need was met or not. The
autonomy need was manipulated as follows, a participant was asked to write an essay in accord with their personal beliefs (
autonomy fulfilled) or against their personal beliefs (
autonomy unfulfilled). The participant was accept or rejected for a future interaction on the basis of this essay by a bogus interaction partner. Potential mediators were also examined which included self-esteem, positive affect, negative affect, private self-consciousness and public self-consciousness. Analysis of the results using ANOVAs and ANCOVAs revealed a lack of effect of relatedness manipulation on state authenticity and a lack of effect of the
autonomy manipulation on two domains of state authenticity as measured by the Wood, Linley, Maltby, Balisousis and Joseph’s (2008) adapted state authenticity scale, authentic living and accepting external influence; possible explanations for this failure to find effects are described. This study found that manipulation of support for
autonomy caused variation in levels of self alienation a third subscale of the Wood et al. (2008) authenticity scale. This effect was partially mediated by negative affect. Implications for theory regarding authenticity, and possible therapeutic methods are discussed

▼ The purpose of this research is to examine the reasons why some EFL students aged 18 have shortages of interests in doing their English written homework day-by-day. The study will show the background to my students‟ neglectful behaviour in Sámuel Szentannai Secondary School in Karcag. The data will be collected from the students and some teachers. I will use questionnaires and observe the students‟ homework doing habits day by day for four weeks. My first hypothesis is that most of the 18-year old students would like to get more
autonomy in any fields of their lives but in language learning they tend to draw back and do as little as possible. They are too inactive to be autonomous learners which mean they do not care about their homework or their studies. If they do not understand a word or an expression, they do not use any dictionaries or other books to find out about the rules of language for themselves. The second hypothesis is that through investigating my students‟ habits of doing homework I can get closer to their language learning customs and I can get to know their
autonomy.

THE IMPACT OF STUDENT CHOICES ON ENGAGEMENT
IN LEARNING
by

Master of Arts in Education
California State University, Chico
Summer 2011
Our future democracy depends on fostering youth with an education in which students learn to think critically, listen and learn from others??? viewpoints, and feel their voice is valued. Students should feel confident as they exercise their own choices in curriculum, contributing to their education through critical thinking and decision making.
Strict school guidelines and prepackaged curriculum have created lost opportunities for students to think critically and many students seem to be disengaged in their learning. This study attempts to empower students by creating a learning environment in which students are provided with choices in the curriculum in ways that will impact their engagement in the content.
The author employs action research using qualitative measures. The results in this study show that when students are given choices they feel empowered through their experiences of having
autonomy in their learning. This study found students taking the
initiative, listening and learning from their peers and thinking critically. These practices leave students feeling valued, cared for and confident.
The goal of this study is that students will continue to feel empowered through their voices and choices in and out of the classroom and carry these traits into adulthood. This study proves that creating a democratic learning environment is not impossible in our current school system.

▼ This thesis investigates possible future threats to human autonomy created by
currently emerging ICT’s. Prepared for evaluation as PhD by Publication, it consists of
four journal papers and one book chapter, together with explanatory material.
The ICT’s under examination are drawn from the results of the ETICA project,
which sought to identify emerging ICT’s of ethical import. We first evaluate this
research and identify elements in need of enhancement – the social aspects pertaining to
ethical impact and the need to introduce elements of General Systems Theory in order to
account for ICT’s as socio-technical systems. The first two publications for evaluation
present arguments from marxist and capitalist perspectives which provide an account of
the social dimensions through which an ICT can reduce human autonomy.
There are many competing accounts of what constitutes human autonomy.
These may be grouped into classes by their primary characteristics. The third
publication for evaluation cross-references these classes with the ICT’s identified by the
ETICA project, showing which version of autonomy could be restricted by each ICT
and how. Finally, this paper induces from this analysis some general characteristics
which any ICT must exhibit if it is to restrict autonomy of any form.
Since ICT’s all operate in the same environment, the ultimate effect on the
individual is the aggregated effect of all those ICT’s with which they interact and can be
treated as an open system. Our fourth paper for evaluation therefore develops a theory
of ICT’s as systems of a socio-technical nature, titled “Integrated Domain Theory”. Our
fifth publication uses Integrated Domain Theory to explore the manner in which sociotechnical
systems can restrict human autonomy, no matter how conceived. This thesis
thus offers two complementary answers to the primary research question.

Established by local residents, CBOs are small level organizations that promote and defend the rights and interests of people especially that of minorities and the disadvantaged. One such minority group that CBOs greatly focus on are women. Despite dramatic increase in the number of CBOs in Nepal its impact on women is understudied. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the relationship between Nepalese women's participation in CBOs and their
autonomy.
Autonomy comprises of four different dimensions; physical mobility, financial
autonomy, household decision-making, and reproductive
autonomy. Modifying the conceptual framework used by Mahmud, Shah, and Becker in 2012, I hypothesize that women who participate in CBOs experience greater
autonomy. Data from the 2008 Chitwan Valley Family Study is used for analysis. Using SPSS, separate logistic
regressions are run to analyze the relationship between CBO membership and the dimensions of
autonomy. The results support three of the four proposed major hypotheses. Nepalese women who participate in CBOs have greater
autonomy in terms of physical mobility, financial
autonomy, and household decision-making. No evidence was found to establish link between CBO membership and reproductive
autonomy. The variables that are controlled for in the study include age, caste, religion, education, marital status, exposure to television, exposure to radio, and relationship with one's mother-in-law.

▼ The purpose of this thesis is to examine the feasibility of using a microturbine to power an off-road Series Hybrid Autonomous Vehicle (SHEV), and evaluate the benefits and drawbacks inherent in using a microturbine rather than an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). The specific power plant requirements for a low speed hybrid vehicle that must operate extensively as an Electric Vehicle (EV) and run on JP-8 (a diesel equivalent) are unusual; few options can adequately address all of these needs. Most development of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) has focused on gasoline ICE power plants, but Diesel ICEs are heavier, which has an adverse effect on EV range.
While mechanically-linked turbine vehicles failed to have the same performance abilities of their ICE counterparts, a microturbine generator-powered SHEV can take advantage of its battery pack to avoid the issues inherent in its mechanical predecessors. A microturbine generator is mechanically decoupled from the powertrain, allowing for an incredibly power dense power plant that lightens the weight of the vehicle. This weight reduction directly correlates to an increased EV operational range, enhancing mobility, stealth, and the tactical effectiveness of the squad that the vehicle is intended to support.
To determine the full impact that a microturbine might have on this specific SHEV, modeling of the vehicle was conducted to directly compare a microturbine and an ICE power plant using two drive cycles that were designed to simulate the typical operation specific to the vehicle. Drive cycle analysis revealed that the improved EV performance and design flexibility offered by the microturbine's weight justifies the selection of a microturbine over an ICE for this specific case. This decision is dependent upon several factors: a microturbine with fuel efficiency comparable to an ICE, the selection of a large battery pack, and an emphasis on EV operations.

▼ Background. Previous research has shown that an individual’s post-exercise mood plays an important role in their likelihood to participate in that exercise activity in the future (Emmons & Diener, 1986; Williams et al., 2008; Williams et al., 2012). Of the possible moderating variables in the exercise-affect relationship, exercise intensity shows the most support. However, an uncoupling effect manifested in Parffit, Rose, & Burgess (2006) showed that self-selecting the intensity acted as an affective buffer and essentially allowed participants to exercise at higher intensity without the expected drop in affect. It may be, therefore, that
autonomy may further serve to moderate the impact of exercise on mood. Design. To explore this issue, we employed a "yoked" design (Dickerson & Creedon, 1981). Participants were randomly assignment to either a free-choice resistance exercise, or a yoked control. The yoked participant performs a bout of exercise that matches the selection of their autonomous counterpart. In this study, 14 college-aged students participated in a testing session to estimate 1-repetition maximums, and a resistance exercise session that was either autonomous (self-selected) or a relative replication (yoked). Participants completed mood questionnaires following the resistance exercise session. Results. A 2 (group) x 3 (time) with repeated measures on the second factor showed significant main effects of time for the Felt Arousal Scale F(2, 13) = 4.15, p = .05 and Negative Affect F(2, 11) = 4.28, p = .05 such that arousal and negative affect both declined during recovery. Additionally, five of the seven yoked participants were unable to progress through their relative resistance exercise bout without a decrease in weight in order to achieve the prescribed number of repetitions. Conclusion.
Autonomy does not appear to be a critical component of affect following resistance training. Further research is needed to explore resistance training as a model of
autonomy manipulation, and to test the possibility of a performance detriment accompanying a loss of
autonomy.

▼ A meta-analysis of 184 correlational studies and 25 experimental studies examined the relationships between teacher
autonomy support and student academic and psychosocial outcomes. The results indicated that 1) teacher
autonomy support was positively associated with desirable student academic and psychological outcomes (e.g., autonomous motivation,
autonomy, and academic performance), 2) teacher control was negatively associated with desirable student outcomes, and 3) teacher
autonomy support interventions enhanced desirable student outcomes. Moderator tests revealed several factors that explained the variation in teacher
autonomy support relationships for certain outcomes. 1) The relationships of teacher
autonomy support with students’ optimal outcomes were stronger when teacher
autonomy support included multiple dimensions than when it included a single dimension. 2) The relationships of teacher
autonomy support with students’ optimal outcomes were stronger for middle school students than for high school and college students. 3) The relationships of teacher control with students’ optimal outcomes were also stronger for middle school students than for students from other grade levels. 4) The teacher
autonomy support correlations with proximal outcomes (i.e.,
autonomy, competence, and relatedness) were stronger than those with distal outcomes (i.e., engagement and academic performance). Implications for theory and future research were discussed.

▼ Healthcare institutions and providers are charged with supporting patient autonomy by creating an autonomy supportive environment and practicing Shared Decision Making. Yet, patients and providers may hold different opinions regarding
autonomy, patients may not follow-through with being autonomous, and providers may not engage in equal amounts of autonomy support. Study 1 found that patients (N = 214) and providers (N = 19) had different perceptions of patient autonomy and provider
support of patient autonomy. Study 2 found that autonomy primed patients (n = 123) and non-autonomy primed patients (n = 125) received equal amounts of autonomy support from providers (N = 22). However, Study 2 results indicate a ceiling-effect—all
patients reported high personal autonomy and provider support of autonomy. Future work should examine whether priming patient autonomy would be advantageous in different populations and if different types of healthcare providers are more likely to engage
in autonomy support.

▼ "Özerklik Üzerine Bir İnceleme: Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankası ve Belediyeler" başlıklı bu çalışmanın konusu, örgütlerin kanunun çizdiği sınırlar içinde kendi kendini yönetme hakkı olarak tanımlayabileceğimiz, özerkliği çözümlemektir. Özerklik, siyasal ve yönetsel biçimlerde gözlemlenebilir. Çalışmanın kapsamı yönetsel özerklik olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışma üç bölümden oluşmaktadır. "Kavramsal ve Kuramsal Açıdan Özerklik" başlıklı birinci bölüm, özerklik nedir, nasıl tanımlanıp sınıflanabilir, nasıl kurulabilir, ögeleri nelerdir, hangi boyutlarda incelenebilir sorularına "Yönetim Bilimi Açısından Özerklik", "Hukuki Açıdan Özerklik", "Kamu Yönetiminde Özerklik", "Ekonomik ve Toplumsal Etmenler Bağlamında Özerklik" başlıkları altında yanıt aramaktadır. Özerklik, hizmete ve insan topluluğuna özgülenen olmak üzere sınıflandırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda özerklik iki dalga biçiminde ele alınmıştır. Dalgalardan birincisi (1930-1960) Keynesyen Teori kaynaklıyken, ikincisi (1980-) Neoliberal Teori kaynaklıdır. "Hizmete Özgülenen Özerklik Örneği Olarak Merkez Bankacılığı: TCMB Uygulaması" başlıklı ikinci bölümde, Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankası'nın özerkliği iki dalga bağlamında "Yönetim Bilimi Açısından Özerklik", "Hukuki Açıdan Özerklik", "Kamu Yönetiminde Özerklik" başlıklarında tartışılmıştır. Bu başlıkta merkez bankaları ve özerklikleri de mercek altına alınarak, merkez bankası bağımsızlığı ve özerkliği arasındaki ayrım da sorgulanmıştır. "İnsan Topluluğuna Özgülenen Özerklik Örneği Olarak Türkiye'de Belediye Örgütleri" başlıklı üçüncü bölümde ise Türk belediye örgütlerinin özerkliği iki dalga bağlamında "Yönetim Bilimi Açısından Özerklik", "Hukuki Açıdan Özerklik", "Kamu Yönetiminde Özerklik" başlıklarında tartışılmıştır. Amacımız yerel özerkliği tartışmak olmayıp sınırlarımızı belediye örgütü belirlemiştir. TCMB ve belediye örgütlerinin özerklikleri tüzel kişi olma unsurları üzerinden ele alınmıştır. Bu unsurlarla özerkliklerini, bilhassa örgütsel özerkliklerini nasıl kurdukları sorgulanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda iki özerklik dalgası arasında eksen kayması olduğu; ilk dalganın uzmanlık ekseni üzerine, ikinci dalganın kaynak aktarımı eksenine dayandığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

▼ This work investigates the concept of autonomy in
three contexts: in constitutional law (SA), in the philosophy of
Immanuel Kant (KA) and in the contemporary philosophical discussion
on personal autonomy (PA). Tracing the concept of autonomy
historically, we highlight similarities and dissimilarities between
different definitions. For example, Kant’s account of
self-legislation is traced back to Samuel von Pufendorf’s theory of
legislation. The main aim is to describe the difference between a
descriptive and a normative interpretation of autonomy. Autonomy is
presented as a relational concept, being on the one hand
commonplace and concrete – individuals are mutually intertwined
through various social relations and states of dependence – yet
having also logical and conceptual aspects, in this work
illustrated by a model where one entity (X) is autonomous in
relation to another entity (Y) regarding a right or a capacity (Z).
The X-Y-Z-model is applied throughout in the three above-mentioned
contexts. Two main issues are discussed in the thesis: First, the
contemporary discussion is characterized by the transition from
“ought” to “is” – an inverse naturalistic fallacy, as it were.
Personal autonomy is described as being factual, a psychological
capacity people possess to a varying extent, but without any
positive evidence presented for it being humanly possible. Being
only seemingly descriptive, the concept is in fact normative, and
the point of departure is an ideal outlook on human beings – how
people should, or ought to, be. Thus, PA seems to imply that if
human beings should, or ought to, be some certain way, then they
are or can be in that way. A person’s irrationality and his lack of
reason, however, is substantiated precisely by the fact that he, in
spite of compelling evidence to the contrary, does not realize, or
does not want to realize, that he is not solely rational or ruled
by his intellect. In other words, it is not evident whether
personal autonomy is a matter of theoretical reasoning, hypotheses,
ideals or empirically established facts and realities regarding the
autonomy of human beings. This is not entirely manifest in Kant’s
account either, which leads to the second issue. Kant may, on one
hand, as advocated in this work, be interpreted as presenting an
ethical theory – hypotheses, ideals defining how human beings ought
to be, that clearly differs from how he describes them to be. If,
on the other hand, Kant is read as intending his theory to be put
into practice in mundus sensibilis, then he joins the vast majority
of thinkers, idealists, utopists, who through the centuries have
insisted that their theories are applicable in practice, if not in
the present, at least in an indeterminate future; if human beings
were only a little less irrational, a little less predictably
unpredictable, a little less controlled by their emotions and
impulses, i.e. if man were what he is not, he would be able to live
according to the ideals of reason.

▼ Autonomy is an increasingly relevant topic in medical health care, particularly when persuasive technology is used to influence the behavior of individuals. Persuasive applications inevitably nudge its users’ behavior in one direction or another, thus interfering to a certain extent with their
autonomy. Despite having the users’ best interest in mind,
autonomy is considered a basic psychological human need and right, meaning that excessive interference can be considered unethical. The purpose of this thesis has been to find ways in which to support the
autonomy of the user while still retaining the benefits of persuasive technology. More specifically, we focus on E-Coaches, which are a type of persuasive application that take on the role of a social actor and aid its users in attaining sustainable behavior changes. A profound literature review was conducted to define
autonomy in an integrated manner, resulting in four main postulates of
autonomy. Furthermore, the literature review gave rise to the definition of three basic strategies for
autonomy support. Subsequently, transcripts of therapy sessions of patients with primary insomnia were analyzed to discover speech act strategies related to the previously established basic strategies of
autonomy support. The dialogue analysis revealed two additional
autonomy support strategies that were dubbed supplementary strategies. For each of the five categories, several sub-strategies were discovered in the transcripts. Finally, the speech act strategies were applied to SleepCare, a mobile E-Coach for individuals with insomnia, so as to illustrate how the strategies could be applied in practice. The five strategies constitute a major step towards a framework for
autonomy support in persuasive applications. However, it may be reasonable to at least not discard the possibility of additional strategies existing. The sub-strategies are not intended to be interpreted as an exhaustive list of possible
autonomy support methods. Rather, they represent an empirical account of
autonomy support strategies employed by a sleep therapist, seen from the perspective of a persuasive application that delivers cues through natural language.

▼ Autonomy is an increasingly relevant topic in medical health care, particularly when persuasive technology is used to influence the behavior of individuals. Persuasive applications inevitably nudge its users’ behavior in one direction or another, thus interfering to a certain extent with their
autonomy. Despite having the users’ best interest in mind,
autonomy is considered a basic psychological human need and right, meaning that excessive interference can be considered unethical. The purpose of this thesis has been to find ways in which to support the
autonomy of the user while still retaining the benefits of persuasive technology. More specifically, we focus on E-Coaches, which are a type of persuasive application that take on the role of a social actor and aid its users in attaining sustainable behavior changes. A profound literature review was conducted to define
autonomy in an integrated manner, resulting in four main postulates of
autonomy. Furthermore, the literature review gave rise to the definition of three basic strategies for
autonomy support. Subsequently, transcripts of therapy sessions of patients with primary insomnia were analyzed to discover speech act strategies related to the previously established basic strategies of
autonomy support. The dialogue analysis revealed two additional
autonomy support strategies that were dubbed supplementary strategies. For each of the five categories, several sub-strategies were discovered in the transcripts. Finally, the speech act strategies were applied to SleepCare, a mobile E-Coach for individuals with insomnia, so as to illustrate how the strategies could be applied in practice. The five strategies constitute a major step towards a framework for
autonomy support in persuasive applications. However, it may be reasonable to at least not discard the possibility of additional strategies existing. The sub-strategies are not intended to be interpreted as an exhaustive list of possible
autonomy support methods. Rather, they represent an empirical account of
autonomy support strategies employed by a sleep therapist, seen from the perspective of a persuasive application that delivers cues through natural language.

▼ Adolescents gradually gain decision-making autonomy
across adolescence, but they often want more autonomy than parents
grant. These discrepancies in desired versus actual autonomy may
influence their perceptions of their parents and their willingness
to tell parents about their lives. Two studies examined
associations among discrepant perceptions of family
decision-making, parental psychological control, and adolescent
disclosure of their everyday activities, as examined within the
framework of social domain theory. It was hypothesized that greater
discrepancies in family decision-making, particularly when
adolescents want more autonomy than is granted, may lead
adolescents to perceive parents as more psychologically
controlling, which would lead them to disclose less to parents
about their lives. Study 1 was a cross-sectional study of 109 7th
and 10th grade adolescents who reported on actual and ideal
decision-making, their mothers' psychological control, and their
disclosure to mothers about activities in different domains.
Greater discrepancies between ideal and actual decision-making were
associated with less disclosure of personal and, for girls only,
prudential issues. However, discrepancies were not mediated by
psychological control, although for girls, psychological control
was associated with more disclosure of personal and multifaceted
issues. Study 2 was a three-wave longitudinal study of 174 10th and
11th grade adolescents and their parents. Participants reported on
the adolescents' actual decision-making, parents' psychological
control, and adolescents' disclosure. Discrepancies between
adolescents' and parents' perceptions of actual family
decision-making at Wave 1 were not associated with Wave 2
psychological control or Wave 3 disclosure. For personal and
multifaceted issues, adolescents' greater decision-making autonomy
at Wave 1 was associated with less disclosure about these issues at
Wave 3. The results highlight the importance of adolescents'
perceptions of their ideal versus actual decision-making autonomy
and their influence on their willing disclosure to parents about
their lives.

▼ In this dissertation, I respond to the feminist critique of traditional theories of
autonomy, which revolves around the charge that such theories are too individualistic. Feminists argue against the liberal atomism that they see at the center of traditional
autonomy theories. Their resulting theory of relational
autonomy is meant to remedy that traditional theories of
autonomy posit an individualistic conception of both the self and
autonomy. Instead, feminists have argued for a theory of
autonomy that takes account of the ways in which persons are irreducibly social, and the ways in which
autonomy itself is only possible within certain types of social relationships.
I separate the feminist charges against liberalism from the feminist charges against traditional
autonomy, since it is at least prima facie possible to consider personal
autonomy separately from political
autonomy. I thus isolate the feminist critique of liberal atomism from the feminist critique of individualistic
autonomy. The first chapter examines the feminist critique of liberalism to determine why it is that the charge of liberal atomism continues to stick, even though it has been clearly established by both feminist and mainstream liberals that liberalism is not guilty of such a charge. While I do not provide a full defense of liberalism, I do argue that such a defense is possible, and possible in a way that upholds feminist goals.
Having separated the critiques of liberalism from the critiques of traditional
autonomy, the rest of the dissertation focuses exclusively on the
autonomy debate. I present an argument against the most robustly relational feminist accounts of
autonomy – those which accept a relational account of both the self and
autonomy. I argue that, although such theories are explicitly designed to vindicate the normative commitments of feminism, their implications yield unwelcome results from this very same feminist perspective. I then present my own procedural account of
autonomy. Because it is not constitutively social, it is unlikely to be characterized as a relational account at all. I argue, however, that it is this very feature which allows my account to vindicate the feminist normative commitments espoused by constitutively relational accounts.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study offers a reconceptualisation of supererogation based on the ethics of Emmanuel Levinas. The study comprises two parts. In Part I, a critical analysis of supererogation, understood as encompassing moral acts that go beyond duty, is given. The analysis unfolds at the hand of the traditional – chiefly analytic – reading of supererogation, and centres on three ethical concepts that problematise supererogation: proximity (the physical and psycho-social distance between the moral agent and the recipient of his/her aid), asymmetry (between the spectator and the performer of a supererogatory act), and autonomy. The analysis examines both supererogatory acts and supererogatory attitudes. It is argued firstly that autonomy is not a necessary feature of supererogation; and, secondly, that a supererogatory attitude (preliminarily described as a primitive moral response that recognises the suffering of another as like my own) can be understood as constitutive of supererogation. Furthermore, it is argued that supererogation can be conceptualised without recourse to the grounding concepts of duty or obligation.
In Part II of the study, the theoretical resources of the continental philosophical tradition are employed as a means to reconceptualise supererogation, and to overcome the difficulties identified in Part I. The case is made that the ethics of Levinas is well-suited to conceptualise supererogation, because both share a regard for the value of saintliness. An exegesis of Levinasian ethics is presented and unfolds by reinscribing the three supererogation concepts of proximity, asymmetry, and autonomy into Levinasian terms. In order for these reinscribed terms to constitute a meaningful reconceptualisation of supererogation, a circumscription of a Levinasian normativity – framed as an operationalisation of Levinasian ethics – is undertaken. It is argued that a Levinasian normativity operates as a recursive and provisional imperative, and that it is grounded on the undecidability between ethics and politics. The argument continues by claiming that the undecidability of Levinasian normativity also arises because each moral act, no matter how quotidian, contains within it the possibility of sacrifice.
In conclusion, the study argues for a reconceptualisation of supererogation, sans obligation or duty, as the possibility of sacrifice, which operates as a recursive and provisional modality in response to undecidability.

▼ There may arise two kinds of challenges in the problem of mobile robot localization; (i) a robot may have an a priori map of its environment, in which case the localization problem boils down to estimating the robot pose relative to a global frame or (ii) no a priori map information is given, in which case a robot may have to estimate a model of its environment and localize within it. In the case of a known map, simultaneous planning while localizing is a crucial ability for operating under uncertainty. We first address this problem by designing a method to dynamically replan while the localization uncertainty or environment map is updated. Extensive simulations are conducted to compare the proposed method with the performance of FIRM (Feedback-based Information RoadMap). However, a shortcoming of this method is its reliance on a Gaussian assumption for the Probability Density Function (pdf) on the robot state. This assumption may be violated during autonomous operation when a robot visits parts of the environment which appear similar to others. Such situations lead to ambiguity in data association between what is seen and the robot’s map leading to a non-Gaussian pdf on the robot state. We address this challenge by developing a motion planning method to resolve situations where ambiguous data associations result in a multimodal hypothesis on the robot state. A Receding Horizon approach is developed, to plan actions that sequentially disambiguate a multimodal belief to achieve tight localization on the correct pose in finite time. In our method, disambiguation is achieved through active data associations by picking target states in the map which allow distinctive information to be observed for each belief mode and creating local feedback controllers to visit the targets. Experiments are conducted for a kidnapped physical ground robot operating in an artificial maze-like environment.
The hardest challenge arises when no a priori information is present. In longterm tasks where a robot must drive for long durations before closing loops, our goal is to minimize the localization error growth rate such that; (i) accurate data associations can be made for loop closure, or (ii) in cases where loop closure is not possible, the localization error stays limited within some desired bounds. We analyze this problem and show that accurate heading estimation is key to limiting localization error drift. We make three contributions in this domain. First we present a method for accurate long-term localization using absolute orientation measurements and analyze the underlying structure of the SLAM problem and how it is affected by unbiased heading measurements. We show that consistent estimates over a 100km trajectory are possible and that the error growth rate can be controlled with active data acquisition. Then we study the more general problem when orientation measurements may not be present and develop a SLAM technique to separate orientation and position estimation. We show that our method’s accuracy degrades gracefully compared…

▼ The construct employee discretion has been researched under many labels (e.g., flexibility,
autonomy). As a result, employee discretion has been operationalized differently across multiple streams of research leading to construct deficiency, contamination, and confounding. The current study contributes to the research literature in three distinct ways. First, the literature on employee discretion is reviewed, in order to clearly differentiate the three primary conceptualizations of employee discretion: choice over when, where, and how one works. Second, the influence of these three forms of discretion on both work-related outcomes (job satisfaction, burnout, and turnover intentions) and nonwork-related outcomes (life satisfaction, work-to-nonwork conflict, negative physical health symptoms and psychological health symptoms) was examined in order to reveal the relative impact of each form of discretion using distinct measures. Third, three potential moderators (role ambiguity, locus of control, and perceived organizational support) of the employee discretion-outcome relationship were examined in order to determine if there are important boundary conditions to the benefit of the various forms of employee discretion.
Faculty members are frequently given a high degree of discretion over when, where, and how they conduct many aspects of their work, particularly their research-related tasks. Despite the many advantages of employee discretion, many faculty members report feeling pressured, stressed, and experience conflict between work and non-work roles, suggesting the possibility that too much discretion can be problematic.
Survey data were collected from a sample of 1223 faculty members. Results revealed main effects for discretion over how work is conducted on work-related outcomes while discretion over when and where had main effects on almost all work and nonwork-related outcomes examined. Contrary to expectations, discretion appeared to have linear rather than nonlinear effects on all the outcomes examined and combinations of multiple forms of discretion did not yield synergistic effects. Role ambiguity moderated the relationship between the where dimension of discretion and several outcomes, such that individuals with high levels of role ambiguity and high levels of discretion over where they work had worse outcomes than individuals with low role ambiguity and low levels of discretion over where they work. These results suggest that employees unclear about their responsibilities benefit less from discretion over where they work. Theoretical and applied implications are discussed.

▼ The purpose of this research is to explore how changes in the structure of the print media in Taiwan affect journalists’
autonomy, a key element of free speech in a democracy. The case of China Times faces the change of managerial practice and the formalization of control after the changes in ownership. This research attempts to examine how these changes influence journalists’
autonomy, and further clarify how journalists react to the change of their
autonomy. To examine the problem, I interviewed seven journalists who work or have worked in China Times. In addition, I conducted the archival analysis based on interviewees’ blogs and the on-line publications of union at China Times.
The results show that with change of managerial practice, which decreased journalists’
autonomy, there is a formalization of control. There were three different owners at China Times, each representing three work regimes: paternalist hegemony, market hegemony and subsidiary hegemonic despotism. The changes in ownership resulted in the formalization of control resulting in the break between managers and employees. This division resulted in journalists feeling less autonomous than before. Faced with less
autonomy, journalists had to choose whether to stay or to exit.

▼ In In Defense of Anarchism, Robert Paul Wolff claims that a legitimate authority cannot exist, as any authority will necessarily prevent its subject’s
autonomy. Jospeh Raz, in contrast, argues that a legitimate authority can exist and should support its subjects’
autonomy. In the argumentation to defend their conclusions, both focus on formulating their conceptions of (legitimate) authority. In this paper, I argue that the difference in their conceptions of
autonomy is the basis of the disagreement in Wolff’s and Raz’s conclusions. After a comparison of the two conceptions and the role
autonomy plays in the authors’ argumentations, I conclude that Raz’s conclusion is the more plausible of the two.

▼ Many modern political campaigns use psychological profiling in order to influence voting decisions. I
argue that this practice threatens the
autonomy of voters. In doing so, I develop a theoretical
account of
autonomy. In order to protect voters from psychological profiling, I suggest a form of
“privacy paternalism,” which prevents people from acquiescing to the trade and aggregation of their
personal data.
My thesis involves two separate claims. The first is that psychological profiling is capable of violating
autonomy. The second is that, because psychological profiling can violate
autonomy, it should be
outlawed.

▼ The study seeks to describe the current state of the promotion of learner
autonomy in Thailand, from the perspectives and practices of university language lecturers. The study employed a mixed method approach with emphasis on the qualitative phase. The research was conducted in two sequential phases, a quantitative survey followed by qualitative cases studies. The first phase aimed to investigate the extent to which learner
autonomy has been valued by lecturers. The second phase aimed to describe how learner
autonomy is currently practiced among Thai lecturers.
In the first phase, the survey questionnaire was completed by 297 lecturers who taught foreign languages in universities in Bangkok and the south of Thailand. The survey findings suggest an inconsistency between the lecturers’ beliefs and practices. The lecturers reported strong beliefs in learner
autonomy, but moderate practices. The lecturers also reported low levels of confidence in their students’ ability to be autonomous learners.
Using the survey results, five lecturers were purposely selected to be included in the second, qualitative phase. Data in the second phase were collected through interviews, class observations, follow-up discussions and document analysis. Results show that the lecturers promoted learner
autonomy in their class through communication strategies, teaching pedagogy and the learning atmosphere.
The link from Phase 1 to Phase 2 reveals a pathway to the promotion of learner
autonomy. The pathway begins with the lecturer beliefs in learner
autonomy and ends with the practices of promoting learner
autonomy. Along this pathway, the lecturers may experience four main factors that might support or prevent them from promoting learner
autonomy. These factors include the lecturer’s understanding of the principles of learner
autonomy; the organizational climate of their university; student attributes; and the social and educational elements of Thai society.
Finally, the findings of both phases are used to develop a framework for ways to promote learner
autonomy in Thailand. This framework includes activities that
lead to dialogic teaching, shift of responsibility, and power symmetry between lecturers and students. The framework serves as a preliminary guideline for Thai lecturers to promote learner
autonomy in their classes.

▼ This thesis is a hybrid work that combines the critical and creative components of the Creative Writing PhD in a novel, Feverish. It includes notes, an afterword, and a full bibliography.
Feverish is a novel narrated by Gigi, a writer who wishes to induce a fever in herself. The thesis aims to present more than a fictional account of a quest for fever. It aims, rather to travel with the mind of the protagonist. Gigi is not exclusively engaged in quest-related transactions in her present. Her interest in fever moves her to consider events from her past and her upbringing in Apartheid South Africa. It reminds her of a teenaged fascination with brain fever in Wuthering Heights. It prompts her to research fever-related aspects of psychiatric history and Jewish history. It drives her to research the law on consent to self-harm. As Gigi’s interest in fever leads her to these and other topics, so the thesis follows her, so the form adapts.
In both its form and its content, Feverish presents a view into a mind. It provides glimpses of the events that shaped the mind. It describes where the mind goes when in the single-minded grip of a quasi-fever. The novel contains strands of theory, memoir, creative non-fiction, ficto-criticism. These different forms are layered upon each other. At times they make way for each other. At times they assert themselves over each other.
In the notes at the end of the novel, the theoretical strand is at its most assertive. The notes present Gigi’s mind at its most critical, when it is directed at supporting the theoretical aspects of her quest. They support Gigi’s accounts of her research by providing additional information and citations.
The narrative arc is provided by a chronological account of the days Gigi devotes to her fever quest. What follows here is a skeleton account of the novel.
Feverish opens with a conversation between Gigi and a friend. This conversation spurs Gigi to explore brave artistic acts, and to the decision to induce a fever in herself. She remembers childhood holidays. Books, and in particular the nineteenth-century children’s literature that featured fever, are the focal point of these memories. Gigi recalls one particular holiday, taken at a time when a friend of hers, Simon, was just starting to show signs of mental illness.
Gigi starts planning her fever. She writes a ‘fever manifesto’. But she worries her siblings will think her insane. She remembers Alberto, a schizophrenic patient of her father’s for whom recovery had, according to his parents, been foretold.
Gigi’s husband, son and daughter are introduced. The family has a dinnertime discussion on bravery, anti-Semitism and terrorist attacks. Gigi starts researching fever. She imagines a conversation between her deceased father and Simon about Julius Wagner-Jauregg, a Nobel Prize-winning psychiatrist who induced malaria in patients suffering from neurosyphilis. Gigi’s father and Simon discuss an historic ‘showdown’ between Wagner-Jauregg and Freud. Gigi remembers Steve Biko’s death and her father’s…

▼ Ulus devlet hâlâ makbul devlet biçimidir. Ancak bu devlet biçimi kendi ulusunu yaratma fikri ile ortaya çıkmasına rağmen söz konusu proje başarılı olmamıştır, zira çok küçük bazı devletler bir tarafa bırakılacak olursa bugün hemen her devletin, bünyesinde çeşitli sayıda azınlık barındırdığı görülmektedir. Modernleşmenin sağladığı imkânlar nedeniyle ulus devlet içinde yer alan farklı etnik grupların benzer koşullara sahip olacağı, dolayısıyla ülke içinde herhangi bir çatışma yaşanmayacağı düşünülmüşse de yaşadığımız yüzyıl devletlerarası çatışmaların çok ötesine geçen biçimde devlet içi etnik çatışmaların yaşandığı bir çağ olmuştur. Devletler bu etnik çatışmaları öncelikle bastırmaya, ceza ve güvenlik tedbirleriyle sorunların üstesinden gelmeye çalışmışsa da etkin yöntemin çatışmaların tekrarlanmayacak biçimde çözülmesi olduğu zamanla anlaşılmıştır. Sadece fiziksel değil, yapısal şiddetin de ortadan kalkmasını sağlamanın yolu ise azınlık haklarını güvence altına almak, demokratik usullerle her grubun yönetime etkin katılımını sağlamak ve gerektiği hallerde iktidarı paylaşmak ya da egemenliği kısmen devretmek olmuştur. Özerklik de çatışmaların çözümünde diğer bazı usullerin fayda sağlamaması üzerine tercih edilen bir yetki devri sistemidir. Özerkliğin üç farklı uygulaması söz konusu olup bunlar bölgesel özerklik, kültürel özerklik ve idari özerkliktir. Her bir özerklik türünün kendine göre olumlu ya da olumsuz yanları bulunmakta, farklı bölge ya da etnik çatışmalar bakımından farklı bir model başarı sağlamaktadır. Özerkliğin hukuki altyapısına bakılacak olursa, mevcut uluslararası hukuk düzeninde özerklik biçiminde bir hakkın yer almadığı, ancak azınlık hakları, ulusların kendi kaderini tayin hakkı gibi haklar ile temellendirilebileceği görülmektedir.
Abstract
Nation state is still accepted to be the ideal form of state. However, despite coming out to create its own nation, this project failed for today besides some very small states, almost every state comprises of a number of different ethnic minorities. Due to the possibilities of modernization, different ethnic groups in a nation state were thought to have similar opportunities and consequently, an ethnic conflict would not take place. But in contrary, this era has been the century of ethnic conflicts. States firstly tried to impress these conflicts, solve the problems by means of punishment and security measures; however after a while it was understood that the efficient solution was to solve conflicts as preventing to repeat again. The way of removing not only physical violance but also structural violance is ensuring minority rights, providing every group to to take part efficiently in state administration and if necessary sharing power or transfer the sovereignty partially.
Autonomy is also a system of transferring powers if the other methods to resolve conflicts became unsuccessful. Generally three sorts of
autonomy are counted. Regional or political
autonomy for an ethnic group living in a region intensely; if the group is spread out through the state…

▼ Purpose: Surgical residents are expected to be able to independently perform the core surgical procedures by the completion of their training. Existing methods for assessing resident operative performance are cumbersome, interrupt faculty workflow, and are often completed long after the end of the procedure. These issues lead to poor faculty compliance and potential for significant recall bias. To provide a more effective OR assessment system we have developed PASS (Procedural
Autonomy and Supervision System). PASS is a smart phone based system that enables faculty to use the Zwisch scale to provide timely assessments of residents' operative
autonomy with every case they perform. The Zwisch scale has 4-levels based on the amount of guidance the attending surgeon must provide to the resident to safely and effectively perform the procedure. Our goal with this study is to demonstrate that PASS with the Zwisch scale is a valid and feasible system for measuring resident operative
autonomy without negatively impacting the OR environment.
Methods: Prior to implementation, all participating general surgery residents and faculty underwent frame-of-reference training to the Zwisch scale. Once implemented, after every operation in which a resident participated, the system automatically prompted the attending to rate the resident's level of operative
autonomy based on the Zwisch scale. Eight procedures were videotaped and independently rated by 2 additional surgeons. Zwisch ratings between the 3 raters were compared using an intra-class correlation (ICC) coefficient. Videotaped procedures were also scored using two alternative OR performance assessment instruments (OPRS and 0-SCORE), against which item correlations were
calculated. OR times for procedures performed at least 3 times in both the 6 month periods before and during PASS implementation were compared using an independent t-test. A modified version of the OREEM survey tool (36 items) was used to assess the impact of PASS on the satisfaction of residents and faculty with the OR educational experience. Responses for faculty and residents before and during PASS implementation were compared using an independent t-test.
Results: PASS was implemented for a seven month period by 27 full-time general surgery faculty to assess 1490 operative performances with 31general surgery residents. During the study period,faculty completed evaluations for 92% of all operations performed with general surgery residents. Zwisch scores were shown to correlate with PGY levels based on sequential pair-wise chi-squared tests: PGV1 vs. PGV2 (X2=76.2, df=3, p<0.001); PGY2 vs. PGY3 (X2=23.8, df=3, p<0.001); PGY3 vs. PGY4 (X2=38.3, df=3, p<0.001); Comparison of PGY4 to PGYS scores were not significantly different (X2=1.3, df=3, p=0.72). For the 8 operations reviewed for inter-rater reliability, the ICC coefficient was 0.90 (95% Cl 0.72-0.98,
p<0.01). Correlation of PASS ratings with both OPRS items (each r>0.90,all p<0.01} and 0-SCORE items (each r>0.86,all p< 0.01) was high. Faculty and…
