▼ M.Tech.
Purpose: This study aims to compare the effects of chiropractic adjustment to the lumbar spine and/or pelvis, and chiropractic adjustment to the lumbar spine and/or pelvis in conjunction with a muscle stability exercise programme in the treatment of chronic low back pain in former ballet and modern dancers with regards to pain, disability and lumbar spine and pelvic range of motion. These effects were based on a questionnaire consisting of a Numerical Pain Rating Scale, and an Oswestry Low Back Pain and Disability Index, and on lumbar spine range of motion (ROM) readings taken using a digital inclinometer. The questionnaire was completed and the ROM readings taken prior to treatment on the first, fourth and seventh visits. Method: Thirty participants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to one of two different groups of fifteen participants each. One group received chiropractic adjustments to the lumbar spine and/or sacroiliac joints, with an added muscle stability exercise programme. The second group received chiropractic adjustments to the lumbar spine and/or sacroiliac joints alone. Treatment took place over a period of three weeks, and participants were treated six times out of a total of seven visits. Procedure: Subjective data was collected at the first and fourth consultations prior to treatment, as well as on the seventh consultation by means of a Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) as well as an Oswestry Low Back Pain and Disability Index to assess pain and disability levels. Objective data was collected at the first and fourth consultations prior to treatment, and at the seventh consultation by means of a digital inclinometer for assessing lumbar spine range of motion (ROM). Data collected was analysed by a statistician. Results: Clinically and statistically significant improvements in group 1 and group 2 were noted over the duration of the study with regards to pain and disability, however the lumbar spine range of motion results were inconsistent with regards to the expected outcome of increased range of motion. Conclusion: The results show that both chiropractic adjustment, as well as chiropractic adjustment in conjunction with a muscle stability exercise programme, are effective treatment protocols both clinically and statistically in decreasing pain and disability in former ballet and modern dancers with chronic low back pain, however, neither treatment protocol proved to be preferential over the other. The results also showed a larger decrease in lumbar spine range of motion than the expected increase in lumbar spine range of motion.

▼ Childhood maltreatment is a major problem internationally, with millions of children affected (Cross & Hershkowitz, 2017), and abuse can lead to many long-term effects throughout the lifespan (Felitti et al., 1998). The current study aimed to better understand the long-term impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACES) on functioning in first-year college students using data collected from a large, Mid-Atlantic university. Linear regression was used to examine the impact of cumulative ACES scores on college
adjustment and alcohol use in the sample. The analyses suggested a significant relationship between ACES score and college
adjustment, but a non-significant relationship between ACES and alcohol use. Moderation effects were also analyzed, and gender was found significantly moderate the relationship between ACES and college
adjustment in the sample, with males displaying significantly lower college
adjustment scores than females. The findings of this study have important implications for professionals in both the grade-school and post-secondary settings, and supports the use of trauma-informed practices with children and youth.

▼ The convergence of computer and communication
technology, the readily availability, affordability and popularity
of this new technology, as well as the impact of consumer behaviour
of a diversity of technology-centred generations on global economic
activities, all contribute to the provision of a base for the
emerging of an information revolution that will both be
far-reaching and unsettling. Society accordingly needs an
appropriate and effective frame of reference, terminology and
methodology for the establishment of psychological skills with
which to equip people to handle the complexity of change in the
future. The promovenda recognized the challenge to equip
individuals and organizations with the required psychological
skills. She studied the change phenomenon through action research
and did this by way of a theoretical and empirical investigation.
The thesis investigated change, planned change, transformation and
related phenomena, such as technological development,
globalization, diversity of the work force, ethical issues and
generational differences in order to construct a context with which
to understand the complexity of escalating and accelerating change.
Predictable individual and organizational reactions to change were
emphasized, whilst the principles of a learning organization were
put forward as the best option for effectively dealing with change
and transformation. Individual reactions to change formed the base
of an integrated framework for the understanding of the
psychodynamics of the phenomenon. Change cycles with characteristic
phases were discussed. A holistic model of a phased approach to
change was formulated, based on preceding research work by the
candidate and also served as a frame of reference for the effective
handling of change. The psychological dynamics of each phase were
described and these also formed the foundation of a questionnaire,
workshop and follow-up session related to the management of change.
The theoretical investigation led to proposals on how leaders might
render individual assistance to employees during interventions of
planned change. The empirical component of the investigation
consisted of a preliminary and a main investigation. The
presentation of a workshop and accompanying follow-up session were
assessed by means of a questionnaire that was completed prior to,
during and after the intervention, amongst other by use of
Cronbach’s approach to reliability assessment of the instrument,
multiple analysis of variance with concomitant Scheffé tests as
well as Hotelling’s T2 test for the comparison of profiles.
Proficiency in the handling of change was continually presented as
the most preferred option that individuals and organizations could
use for the establishment of learning skills with which to realize
future change in the present day.

▼ Objective: There is an increasing appreciation by clinicans and researchers that psychosocial
adjustment and recovery after sustaining traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a multi-factorial process. The aim of the present study was to investigate if premorbid psychosocial functioning and cognitive status post-TBI are linked to long term psychosocial functioning.
Methods: 12 patients who had sustained TBI at an average of 14.8 years prior to examination. Psychosocial
adjustment both pre-TBI and post-TBI was assessed by using the ASEBA questionnaire, whilst cognitive status was evaluated by administering the Rey Osterreith Complex Figure, Logical Memory I and Logical Memory II, the Hayling and Brixton test, the COWAT verbal fluency test and the NART premorbid intelligence test.
Results: Premorbid psychosocial
adjustment was found to be linked to post-injury psychosocial functioning. Also, cognitive measures were correlated with aspects of psychosocial functioning.
Conclusions: The results from the present study confirm that psychosocial
adjustment after TBI is a multifactorial process. It emphasizes the importance of obtaining a history of the inidividual’s premorbid psychosocial and cognitive history. This is a necessity in the context of both clinical practice and research.

▼ Credit value
adjustment (CVA), as a quantified measure of counterparty credit risk for financial derivatives, is becoming an increasingly important concept for the financial industry. In this thesis, we evaluate CVA for an interest rate swap via a new structural default model. In our model, the asset value of a company is assumed to follow meromorphic Lévy processes with infinite jumps but finite variation. One important advantage of our model is that we are able to assume a random recovery rate which depends on default severity. Compared with the case with a fixed recovery rate, we show that the effect on CVA with a random recovery rate is significant.

▼ Professional Doctorate - Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)
This research investigates the adjustment of Mainland Chinese Expatriates (MCEs) working in Hong Kong from a multiple-stakeholder perspective. Expatriate adjustment is defined as how well psychologically and capably an expatriate adjusts to perform their job in a foreign country. While it is well understood that successful expatriation, requires the expatriate to adjust to their new working and living environment and that personal ability, family, co-workers and home-country colleagues are instrumental in the process, few studies explore these factors in unison, despite the rational expectation that they are to some degree interdependent. Moreover, traditionally research on expatriation examines the experience of developed country or ‘Western’ expatriates so there is little known of the applicability of insights from this literature to the experience of non-traditional expatriates from developing countries. Uniquely, this study explores the experience of Mainland Chinese Expatriates (MCE) in Hong Kong. The experience of these expatriates in the special administrative zone of Hong Kong has not previously been considered in expatriate research, despite their significance as an expatriate cohort in Hong Kong and despite the unique challenges they face. Through in-depth interviews with MCE in Hong Kong this study explores the experience of expatriate adjustment from a multiple stakeholder perspective and provides novel insights into the role of each for adjustment. This research finds that the expatriate’s personal ability is strongly related to expatriate adjustment. Job related skills, language (Cantonese and English) and culture awareness skills (consequent to a perceived cultural distance between the mainland and Hong Kong) are found to be vital for adjustment. As might be expected, supports from the expatriates families was found to be a crucial factor for successful adjustment, however, the family-support revealed in this study goes well beyond what is envisaged by extant research. Despite, perceived cultural difference (and reported tension within the general environment), information sharing, cultural-training and job skills as well as living supports from the host country co-workers were found to be widespread and very positive for MCE adjustment in Hong Kong. By contrast home-country supports from China were lacking. The implications for extant understanding of expatriate adjustment and future research are discussed and in keeping with the practical focus of the DBA degree, practical implications for MNCs and international human resource managers are clearly articulated.

▼ The current literature highlights the significant role of psychological factors including cognitive (pain related thoughts and beliefs) and acceptance components (pain willingness, activity engagement, psychological inflexibility) in the management of chronic pain. The research is however in the preliminary stages in terms of investigating the specific relationships that exist between these psychological processes in their ability to predict adjustment to pain. This study aims to extend the current findings by investigating the relationships between several cognitive and acceptance components in their ability to predict emotional and physical adjustment in the context of chronic pain. The hypotheses that cognitive and acceptance components mediate the relationship between pain severity and pain adjustment, and also that acceptance mediates the relationship between cognitive components and pain adjustment will be tested. Method The study employed a cross-sectional survey-based design, including 214 chronic pain patients recruited from an NHS pain clinic. Participants completed a series of self-report questionnaires measuring pain severity, fear of movement beliefs, pain self-efficacy beliefs, pain catstrophising, acceptance and psychological flexibility, pain disability, and depression and anxiety. Structural Equation Modeling was used in order to conduct path analyses, investigating the complex relationships between these variables in predicting physical and emotional adjustment to chronic pain. Results The results from a Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated that a three factor model comprising pain, cognitive and acceptance components as separate latent variables had a poor fit and therefore could not be used in further analysis. The results of path analyses showed that pain self-efficacy was the only variable to have a strong mediating influence between pain and physical adjustment. Findings also supported a nested path model demonstrating that acceptance, catastrophising and self-efficacy were mediators between pain and emotional adjustment, and that acceptance was also a mediator for pain catastrophising and a partial mediator for pain self-efficacy in their relationship with emotional adjustment. Conclusions The importance of pain self-efficacy specifically in predicting physical adjustment to pain is highlighted. A more complex model however is required to explain emotional adjustment, with acceptance playing a more prominent role in comparison with other variables. The findings also provide support for both Cognitive and Acceptance-based interventions in improving adjustment to living with chronic pain. Given the preliminary nature of these findings, further research employing similar statistical methods are required to provide further support.

▼ This quantitative study examined the factors that influence the cultural
adjustment of undergraduate Chinese international students to the United States. The ever-increasing Chinese student population has forced colleges and universities to employ new strategies designed to ease the transition of Chinese students to life in the U.S. Chinese students have more difficulties in their adaptation and
adjustment to U.S. culture and campus life than any other population of international students. Astin's (1993) Input-Environment-Output (I-E-O) model was adapted in an effort to provide a visual snapshot of the relationship between the factors and cultural
adjustment. Gender, academic major, time in the United States, English language proficiency, and cultural values were measured to determine their influence on three constructs; acculturative stress, social and academic expectations and
adjustment, and campus preparedness. Cultural
adjustment was measured by intent to persist. Using an online survey data were collected from undergraduate Chinese international students at a large, public university in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Results suggested that English language proficiency is the single-most significant factor influencing the cultural
adjustment challenges faced by Chinese international students. Implications for campus preparedness and recommendations for future research are discussed.

▼ Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) is an economic model of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) that was adopted by a number of Third World countries as far back as the 1960s' as a way of rectifying the macro-economic imbalances. Zambia's SAP was initiated in 1971 and has been associated with miseries by ilic majority of the urban and rural poor due to the unprecedented rate of social marginalisation. From the SAP scenario, a number of concepts such as 'the new poor', 'the chronic poor', and 'the vulnerable groups' have emanated.
IMF and IBRD aid conditions, like the Labour Reform Programme and the removal of subsidies on consumer goods and services, have resulted into increased unemployment and high cost of food stuffs, education and health services to the ever increasing population of Zambia in general and Mufulira in particular. Unemployment, high cost of food stuffs and education have consequently initiated migrations of household members to either join other households or settle in other geographical locations. These have created changes in family sizes, structures, geographical and living space thereby exerting socio-economic pressure on recipient households whose sizes keep increasing. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating, explaining and analysing the impact of SAP on the household structures in Mufulira, Copperbeit Province, Zambia.
A sample size of 127 households from four stratified residential areas were taken. The stratification was done according to the samples' socio-economic status of squatter, municipal, mine and high cost (Mufulira Central) townships. Data were analysed by using a desk calculator and computer's Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Microsoft Excel. Percentages, tables of frequencies, means of descriptive, non-parametric and parametric tests were used lo establish the relationship between household structure on one hand and the cost of living, social services (health and education), and employment on the other.
The findings of this study show that regardless of the differences in the socio-economic status of the sample areas, Mufulira's population experiences a high cost and low standard of living. This is because of the high cost of consumer goods and services that has made it difficult for households to manage their welfare as a result of either unemployment or low wages/salaries.
However, there have been changes in both the household sizes and structures. The sizes have reduced from the average of 7 3 (1990} to 6.4 (1998). This shows a 12.3% decline.
Similarly in 1998, 50.6% of the total households had adopted the nuclear family norm as compared to 35% in 1990. According to the author's view, the 49.4% households that still practice the extended family norm will reduce in due course to the effects of SAP.
As Mufulira's population is facing various economic hardships;
(a). private entrepreneurship should be encouraged as this would enhance trade
competition and…

▼ How well immigrants and refugees adjust to Canadian
society is critical for their well-being and integration. Using an
acculturation development framework and emphasizing a
process-oriented and strength-based approach, this dissertation
reports on three papers related to immigrant and refugee
adjustment, education, and acculturation in Canada. In the first
paper, I drew on ethnographic methodology to examine the school
engagement of newcomer Somali parents and the ways in which
engagement was facilitated in a school-based transition program. I
collected multiple types of data including field notes, meeting
notes, 19 individual interviews with program stakeholders
(teachers, after-school staff, cultural brokers, program
leadership, and representatives from immigrant serving
organizations), and one group interview with 13 Somali mothers.
Results showed that parental engagement was limited due to
language-related barriers, dissimilar cultural and educational
expectations, practical, resettlement, and social barriers. These
barriers were successfully addressed in the program through various
strategies including cultural brokering services and parent
information meetings. In the second paper, I used the same
ethnographic methodology to examine the school adjustment
experiences of recently arrived Somali and Ethiopian adolescents
with limited formal schooling. Field notes were recorded and
interviews were conducted with 11 adolescents, 8 of their teachers,
and 12 after-school/settlement staff working closely with the
adolescents during their early transition years. Results
highlighted the social-emotional, acculturation, and academic needs
of newcomer adolescent refugees, as well as their strengths. In the
third paper, I used a method of interpretive description to compare
the bicultural experiences and competencies of first- and
second-generation immigrants and refugees who have lived in Canada
for a longer period of time and have experienced positive
acculturation outcomes. Focus groups were conducted with eight
first-generation and eight second-generation youth and adults.
Results showed that both generations experienced acculturation
challenges and developed similar bicultural competencies; however,
the second generation experienced unique challenges within family
and heritage peer networks. Together, the findings highlight some
of the difficulties immigrants and refugees face when navigating
two cultures and the need for educational supports that take into
consideration their social-emotional and acculturation challenges
and acknowledge their cultural capital, aspirations, and
pre-migration knowledge.

▼ Previous studies indicate that social cognition is impaired after an acquired brain injury (ABI). Social cognition refers to the ability to interpret and understand emotions, social settings and interpersonal exchanges. The present study examined impairments in social cognitive ability, and the predictive utility of social cognition in determining functional outcomes after an ABI. Thirty participants with an ABI (m= 18, f= 12) were recruited, and 30 healthy controls matched for similar sex, age and premorbid IQ. A series of independent samples t-tests compared the ABI and control participants on social cognitive measures. The relationship between the ABI participant’s social cognitive ability and their functional outcomes were examined using eight hierarchical regressions. t-test results indicated that the ABI group performed significantly worse on the objective and informant measures of social cognition, while no significant differences on the self-reported social cognition measures were observed. Social cognition significantly predicted 43.5% of the variance in living skills on the participants rated outcome measure. The other regression models showed trends where social cognition predicted functional outcomes, however were non-significant. Clinical implications of the current study include facilitating assessments, by identifying individuals and their families who would benefit from more assistance and education.

▼ Children diagnosed with cancer experience stress associated with their diagnosis and treatment and are at heightened risk for problems in social
adjustment. The current study investigated the association between coping with cancer-related stress and problems in social
adjustment across the first year after a pediatric cancer diagnosis. Mothers of children (ages 5 to 17 years) with cancer (N = 325) were recruited from two children’s hospitals. Mother’s reported on their child’s problems in social
adjustment and coping near diagnosis (T1) and 12 months (T2). Secondary control coping (e.g., cognitive reappraisal, acceptance) predicted problems in social
adjustment over time, whereas problems in social
adjustment were associated with concurrent but not future coping. These findings demonstrate the influence of secondary control coping on the social
adjustment of children diagnosed with cancer, which highlights important avenues for future intervention and research.

▼ This study provides information about the socialization experiences of African American college students within historically Black and predominantly White institutional contexts. Drawing on Weidman’s (1989) conceptual framework for college student socialization, this study illuminates college student perceptions of individual and institutional factors that influence the socialization experiences of African American college students including: student background characteristics, parental socialization, non-college reference groups, in-college experiences, and socialization outcomes as central factors in the process of undergraduate student socialization.
The data for this study was collected through in-person, semi-structured interviews conducted with African American college juniors at a historically Black, private, selective, research university, and at a predominantly White, private, selective, research university as well as participant observation, and the collection of artifacts.
Across both institutions, students’ early commitment to college participation, expectations and preparation for college, parents, and formal college experiences including interaction with faculty in-class influenced students’ socialization. Participants also had limited interaction with non-college references at both institutions. Parents were perceived as an influence in students’ pre-college college as well as in college experiences. Institutional factors that emerged as push and pull factors across both institutions included faculty-student interaction in class, and more specifically faculty expectations and class structure, concern for students’ learning, rapport with students, and engagement of students in-class.
Several themes emerged that differed across institutional contexts relative to students’ socialization experiences. At the predominantly White institution, institutional choice, and peer norms including perceptions of the prevailing image of students, and patterns of peer interaction emerged as themes in the data. At the historically Black institution, institutional choice, institutional values, perception of a lack of administrative support as well as peer norms including perceptions of the prevailing image of students. In sum, this study provides insights that can be utilized to enhance the socialization experiences of African American college students across both historically Black and predominantly White postsecondary institutional contexts.

▼ The purpose of the present study was to compare the
General, SC and BC category students on four variables viz. Family
Climate, School Adjustment, Attitude towards Education and Academic
Achievement and to study the effect of Family Climate, School
Adjustment, Attitude towards Education on Academic Achievement. A
Normative Survey Method was used in the present study with a sample
of 720 Govt. Sr. Sec. School Students belonging to General, SC and
BC category. The present study was confined to the four districts
in Haryana i.e. Bhiwani, Faridabad, Sonepat and Kurukshetra. Family
Climate Scale [FCS] by Dr. Shah (1990), Adjustment Inventory for
School Students [AISS] by Dr. Sinha and Singh (1993) and Attitude
Scale Towards Education [ASTE] by Dr. Chopra (1982) were used for
collection of data pertaining to the study. The Academic
Achievement of the students was measured by converting their GPA
into marks using the formula GPAx10. Statistical methods like Mean,
SD , Karl Pearson Coefficient of Correlation and t- test were
applied for the analysis of data keeping in view of objectives and
hypotheses of the study. The data were analysed making use of
xlstat a Microsoft Office Excel based software. The finding of the
present investigation were- [a] General category students were
found to be better on their family climate and school adjustment
than their counterparts SC and BC category students but a non
significant difference occurred on family climate and school
adjustment of SC and BC category students. [b] General and BC
category students were found to be better on attitude towards
education and academic achievement than those of SC category
students but no significant difference was found between General
and BC category students on the same variables. [c] A low positive
coefficient of correlation was obtained on academic achievement
with family climate and attitude towards education but a moderate
positive correlation was found between school adjustment and
academic achievement of General, SC and BC category
students

▼ Before the concept of Emotional Intelligence, there
was Intelligence Quotient or IQ , it was said in the past that the
person who is more intelligent or the person who has more IQ can
adjust himself or herself in the environment easily. But in recent
years, it also come into light that the students who are more
intelligent also leads to some kind or stress related to their
academic achievement and their parents expectations. So, we can say
that the Intelligence Quotient (IQ) does not wholly account for an
individual s success or failure in the world. In fact, most social
scientists who study Intelligence estimate that IQ accounts for
only 20 to 30 percent of outcome. Even if, as proponents assert, IQ
is the best known predictor of things like financial success, these
numbers are not the king you would want to wager on. It is easy to
interact with the person with normal emotions but to deal with the
person who is emotionally imbalance is very difficult. Emotional
Intelligence is a phrase that incorporates the intricate aspects of
both emotion and intelligence. Emotions rule the heart while
intelligence reigns supreme in the brain. The twin qualities are
inseparable and they exercise tremendous influence in the everyday
lives of individuals. Now, intelligence and success are not viewed
the same way they were before. New theories of intelligence have
been introduced and are gradually replacing the traditional theory.
Today, the whole students have become the centre of concern, not
only his reasoning capacities, but also his creativity, emotion and
interpersonal skills. IQ alone is no more the only measure for
success, emotional intelligence; social intelligence and luck also
play a big role in the person success and adjustment. Today there
are lots of behavioural problems like; stress, adjustment,
achievement etc are main concerns among the teenage groups which we
are observing regularly.

▼ The Van Staden’s Bridge has claimed 67 lives since its construction on 11 November 1971. A team of police officials, trained as negotiators who deal with suicide and hostage negotiation, are involved with the task of convincing suicidal persons who turn to the bridge to take their own lives, not to resort to suicide. They are responsible for persuading at least three people per week to reconisider suicide at this notorious bridge. The goal of this study was to explore and describe the experiences and coping resources of the SAPS suicide negotiation staff at the Van Staden’s Bridge, Thornhill, Port Elizabeth. A mixed methods study combining both the quantitative and qualitative approaches was implemented. An exploratory-descriptive design was used, because the topic is still a relatively under-researched area in South Africa. Two data collection measures, that is, the Coping Resources Inventory (CRI) and semi-structured interviewing were employed. The researcher conducted a pilot study to enhance the trustworthiness of the study. Non-probability, purposive sampling was employed to obtain research participants from the research population (suicide negotiation team), consisting of 12 members. Eight members participated voluntary in the quantitative data collection and of these a total of five participated in the qualitative research interviews. Six themes emerged from the results of the in-depth, semi-structured interviews: (1) experiences of SAPS suicide negotiators, (2) aspects that hinder the negotiation process, (3) characteristics of a negotiator, (4) important aspects of the negotiation process, (5) coping mechanisms of SAPS negotiators and (6) recommendations for rendering support to SAPS negotiators. The results from the CRI suggested that the participants have average coping resources with the cognitive domain being the lowest and both the social and physical domains being the highest. The limitations and the value of the study were outlined and finally, recommendations for future research were made

▼ Every human being passes through various stages in
his life time birth infancy childhood adolescence adulthood and old
age Ageing is a normal part o f life span and a biological process
It is associated with a gradual reduction in the reserve capacity o
f the organ systems o f body In other word we can define ageing as
a process characterized by progressive decline in all physiological
functions In every stage o f life we have problems life without
problems may not be worth living so we can not say that only old
age is problematic But it is conceivable that the problems that we
face in old age may be more severe than the ones that we face when
we are young or in middle age or it is also possible that we are
less prepared to face the problems in old age and hence we think
that they are overwhelming this is true for every human being on
earth As age advances lot o f physical mental and social changes
take place Physical condition may restrict movements social changes
may force dependency and mental condition may lead to depression
and anxiety poverty and economic insecurity may aggravate the
situation While ageing is a universal problem and no country can
escape it different countries have felt its impact differently
based on their socio cultural and economic characteristics Ageing
has not been as serious in developing countries as in the developed
countries Conditions in our country are somewhat different In our
villages the joint family system still predominates so their
families do not throw out old people at the mercy o f the society
In the newlinerural areas especially among the land owners large or
small the head o f the family is the sole owner o f the ancestral
land and he retains the dominant position during his life But
according to our sociologist the joint system in our cities is just
disappearing and the authority o f age has gone the aged find less
and less place They are being increasingly isolated and left out
The study was made on the rural and urban aged population of
Kashmir For this purpose aged people

▼ Globalisation has led to an increasing growth of world trade which has directed business all over the world to become increasingly international and increased the number and power of multinational companies. These expatriates are confronted with societal norms different from their home cultures. This study investigated which factors influence cross-cultural
adjustment the most and which factors are perceived by the expatriates to influence cross-cultural
adjustment. Based on the literature review four different categories of factors influencing cross-cultural
adjustment were identified (Individual, organisational, work-related and non-work related factors) A self-administered online questionnaire, based on existing questionnaires (Black’s (1988) cross-cultural
adjustment questionnaire) and literature research, was developed in order to detect a relationship between factors and one of the three
adjustment types (general, interaction and work) and to reveal the perceived importance of the factors. In this study all identified factors were perceived to be important for cross-cultural
adjustment. However, language skills and spousal
adjustment were perceived to be the most important factors and had indeed the strongest correlation towards cross-cultural
adjustment. Based on the findings of this research project, recommendations for organisations and expatriates have been provided

▼ Background. Understanding how people adjust to living with chronic pain is paramount
because of the negative impact of chronic pain on quality of life. Chronic pain integration
has been proposed as a new construct that may enhance understanding of chronic pain
adjustment. Integration, as defined by people living with chronic pain, is an ongoing
process in which the person with chronic pain evolves becoming a mentally and
physically stronger individual; creating a sense of harmony and control in one’s life.
These positive outcomes of integration necessitate its continued investigation in chronic
pain, especially if it may positively affect life quality.
Objective. There were two overarching purposes of this study: (a) to further refine and
test the psychometric properties of the Chronic Pain Integration Questionnaire (CPIQ);
and (b) to examine four research hypotheses based on the proposed relationships between
several constructs.
Method and Results. Utilizing a quantitative, non-experimental design, the CPIQ
demonstrated internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, and evidence of
validity when tested in a sample of 201 adults living with chronic non-cancer pain. All
four of the research hypotheses were confirmed and three domains of the CPIQ were
identified through exploratory factor analysis: self-management, self-awareness, and
intrinsic adjustment. The favourable psychometric results of the CPIQ provide support
for its continued use to understand adjustment in chronic pain. Ultimately, the goal of
future research with the CPIQ is to identify effective interventions that promote chronic
pain integration; leading to improved life quality for the person with chronic pain.
Thesis
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
A questionnaire titled the Chronic Pain Integration Questionnaire (CPIQ) was developed
and then given to 201 adults living with chronic pain in order to gain a better
understanding of how these adults have adjusted to living with chronic pain. The
responses that these adults gave on the CPIQ were then compared to responses they gave
on additional questionnaires related to their physical and mental health, acceptance, and
social support. These comparisons allowed for the detailed examination of people’s
adjustment to living with chronic pain. It is hoped that the CPIQ, which has now been
developed and tested, will continue to allow health care professionals to gather more
information about the life of someone living with chronic pain. It is also hoped that the
CPIQ could be used in future research to identify effective strategies that improve the
overall quality of life of the person suffering with chronic pain.

▼ BACKGROUND: Group therapy is an effective method of treating people with various mental illnesses. Social skills training is often used in a group therapy setting to improve the social functioning of people with mental illness, many of whom have social skills deficits. Currently, there is very little literature on how social skills training reduces symptomology, most of which is limited to children or adolescents and people with autism spectrum disorders. The current study looks to determine what, if any, effect social skills training has on alleviating depression and anxiety symptoms in a mixed mental illness sample.
SUBJECTS: 23 subjects were recruited from the University Rehabilitative Services to take part in the study. There were 11 males and 12 females divided into two treatment groups named Connections (CG) and Personal and Social
Adjustment Treatment (PSATG).
METHOD: A one-way paired samples t-test was used to determine improvement between pre and post BDI-II and BAI scores.
RESULTS: BDI-II scores were significantly lowered, indicating improvement in depression symptoms. BAI scores were not statistically significant.
DISCUSSION: Social skills training does alleviate depression symptoms in an adult mixed mental illness sample. Future studies need to focus on improving anxiety symptoms as well.

PURPOSE: Impingement syndrome of the shoulder is a very common problem, yet the diagnosis and management of it is still not completely understood. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the most effective chiropractic treatment protocol in the management of impingement syndrome due to supraspinatus tendonitis. This was done by comparing objective and subjective measures gained during a treatment protocol consisting either of administering corrective chiropractic manipulative therapy to the cervical spine and/or the thoracic spine, to the glenohumeral joint or to both of these areas. METHODS: This randomised controlled trial consisted of three groups of fifteen patients, each between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years old. All potential candidates were examined and cleared for participation in the clinical trials subsequent to a selection process and X-ray examination if necessary. Diversified chiropractic manipulative techniques were used for all patients provided joint restrictions were detected. Group A received glenohumeral joint manipulations, Group B received spinal manipulations and Group C received a combination of spinal and glenohumeral joint manipulations. PROCEDURE: Patients were treated for six consultations over a two-week period. A follow-up appointment was scheduled for four weeks after that in order to determine the lasting effects of the treatment protocol. At the first, third, sixth and follow-up visit, measurements were recorded. Objective data included pain free shoulder abduction range of motion, the presence of a painful arc of the shoulder and the presence of a positive supraspinatus test. Subjective data included the numerical pain rating scale-101 scores. RESULTS: statistical analysis was conducted using the parametric One Way ANOVA (analysis of variance) and unpaired t-tests as well as the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis One Way ANOVA on Ranks and Mann-Whitney Rank Sum tests to compare intragroup and intergroup data. III CONCLUSIONS: Although all three groups showed numerical improvements throughout the treatment period, only group A showed statistically significant improvements. This study therefore suggests that manipulation of the glenohumeral joint is more effective in the treatment of impingement syndrome of the shoulder with regard to short-term as well as long-term symptomatic relief. This however requires further research, as a larger sample size is required

The study evaluated any changes in serum p-endorphin levels before and after a chiropractic adjustment and mobilisation ofthe cervical spine. Three groups of male and female subjects were randomly assigned; the chiropractic group, mobilisation group and detuned ultrasound (control group). Each group consisted of 10 subjects, aged between 18 to 35 with equal numbers of males and females. All subjects were mentally and physically healthy, and were instructed to refrain from nicotine and caffeine intake at least one hour prior to the experiment, as these substances are stimulants and may influence the results. The research protocol involved having blood taken five minutes before the treatment, and repeated five minutes after the treatment. The experimental group received bilateral cervical spine adjustments. The mobilisation group under-went cervical spine mobilisation with oscillatory motion, but no thrust was included. The control group had detuned ultrasound applied to their posterior cervical and trapezius muscles. Blood samples were taken by venipuncture and the p-endorphin levels were analysed using immunoenzymometric assay technique. The results of this study demonstrated that a decrease in p-endorphin levels occurred post intervention in the spinal adjustment group. The mobilisation and detuned ultrasound groups both experienced an increase in p-endorphin levels, but the increase was not statistically significant. This finding allows us to hypothesize that the pain-relieving effects of the chiropractic adjustment, may not be due to a release of p-endorphins, but may be due to the analgesic effect of another system that is not opiate mediated.

Method The purpose of this study was to determine whether spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) of the cervical spinal segments would have any influence on the reaction and response time of a cricket player. It has been suggested that a dysfunctional vertebral subluxation complex can cause a decrease in visual performance. The decreased visual performance may be due to decreased blood flow to the visual centers of the brain. Thirty six participants (3 cricket teams) participated in this study. They were divided into two groups. Group A consisted of eighteen subjects who received spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) of the cervical spine. The eighteen subjects in Group B received detuned ultrasound to the cervical spine The inclusion criteria required the participant to be a male cricket player who was asymptomatic, without any history of cervical spine surgery and without any current injuries (e.g. hand or wrist fractures). The participant had to be between the ages of sixteen and twenty one and have no contra-indications to spinal manipulative therapy. Measure Objective data was obtained by the Wayne’s Saccadic Fixator ® which determined the patients’ visual reaction time. After testing the participants’ visual reaction time, the one group received SMT and the other group received detuned ultrasound. After which all participants’ reaction and response time were retested. vii Results Although there was a decrease in the reaction and response time of the players after spinal manipulative therapy, the objective results showed that due to the small sample size and different baseline values of the participants in this study there was no statistical proof that Chiropractic treatment had a positive influence on the reaction and response time of the participants.

It has been noted in the literature that the sensory system consists of the visual, vestibular and somatosensory systems (Guyton and Hall, 1997; Arnold and Schmitz, 1998; Murphy, 2000; Nakata and Yabe, 2001; Magee, 2002 and Gatterman, 2004). In congruence with the above authors Katz (1996), Gatterman (2004) and Murphy (2000), Morningstar, Pettibon, Schlappi, Schlapp and Ireland (2005) further stated that the postural reflexes can be subcategorised as the following: visual righting reflex, labyrinthine righting reflexes, neck righting reflexes, body on head righting reflexes and body on body righting reflexes. Each of these neurological mechanisms plays a role in balance / equilibrium. Furthermore it has been shown that spinal manipulative therapy has an effect on neurological systems. Therefore it stands to reason that spinal manipulative therapy may have an effect on balance or equilibrium.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine whether adjustment of the cervico-thoracic motion segment in individuals with altered or decreased motion at that segment, in conjunction with a strengthening protocol, had a greater increase in triceps brachii muscle strength compared to a strengthening protocol or chiropractic adjustment alone. By reducing the negative neural and other effects caused by aberrant movement between vertebra, chiropractic adjustment could allow the body’s muscle physiology to function at its best, thereby allowing it to adapt to changes more readily. DESIGN: Thirty subjects participated in this study. The subjects were randomly and without being aware of it, assigned to one of three groups. The only requirement for inclusion in the research was a restriction of the seventh cervical vertebra based on motion and static palpation. Patients in two of the groups were asked to perform tricep brachii muscle strengthening exercises and patients from two of the groups received chiropractic adjustment to the cervico-thoracic motion segment. Patients were seen a total of three times over a period of two weeks. MEASUREMENTS: Triceps brachii muscle strength testing was performed using an isometric dynamometer. Three pre-treatment readings and three post-treatment readings were performed, with one-minute intervals, on all the subjects. This was done to determine if there was a change before or after treatment and if there was a long-term effect. CONCLUSION: Although measurements were taken on each visit before and after each treatment, there was only a statistically significant difference in triceps brachii muscle strength between the experimental and the other two groups before treatment on the third visit. This does however; suggest that there was a favourable result and that a combination of treatments does indeed produce better results than one of the other treatments alone.

OBJECTIVE: To determine and compare the effect of Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) to the cervico-thoracic junction on the activity of the ipsilateral latissimus dorsi with regards to muscle activity measured by electromyography and activity of the trigger points measured by the algometer. STUDY DESIGN: Fourty subjects with lower cervical spine pain and dysfunction underwent six spinal manipulative treatments on alternative days over a 3 week period (excluding weekends) to test the changes in activity of the ipsi-lateral Latissimus Dorsi muscle. SETTING: Chiropractic Day Clinic at the University of Johannesburg, Johannesburg, South Africa. SUBJECTS: Forty subjects with lower cervical spine pain participated in this study. Each of the subjects was randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group A consisted of 20 subjects receiving SMT to the cervico thoracic junction. Group B consisted of 20 subjects receiving de-tuned ultra-sound to the area of cervical spine pain. METHODS: Latissimus Dorsi muscle activity and its trigger point activity were tested before and after the first consultation using electromyography and the algometer respectively. After consultations two, four and six readings were taken. For the electromyography readings subjects were asked to lie down in a prone position with their arms next to their sides. They were then instructed to lie as still as possible for three minutes. The mean, peak and minimum values from the surface electromyographic meter were recorded, analysed and compared for reference. For the algometer readings, the researcher grasped the Latissimus Dorsi muscle along the free border at the posterior axillary fold of the midscapular level. The algometer was then pushed into this point and candidates had to indicate when they started to feel pain. This measurement was then recorded. RESULTS: Data was analysed using the T-test for independent samples to compare the two individual groups. Repeated measures ANOVA was useful to investigate changes over time. If one considers Group A as the superior group, no statistical significant difference were noted between Group A and Group B regarding the electromyographic readings. With regards to the algometer readings no statistically significant differences were identified between the two groups except for the last consultation (treatment 4) of Group A where the p-value = 0.035<0.05. CONCLUSION: In light of these findings, it can be concluded that there were no statistically significant differences between Group A and Group B, regarding the electromyographic readings. Group A showed the most favourable treatment efficacy in terms of the algometer readings. The trends shown in this study should be used and tested in future similar research studies incorporating larger sample groups.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Chiropractic Spinal Manipulative Therapy (CSMT) of the cervical spine on the key-strike accuracy of adults typing on a standard keyboard. By reducing the negative neural and other effects caused by aberrant movement between vertebrae, CSMT could allow optimal propagation and processing of upper limb proprioceptive information and improve cognitive processing needed for accurate typing. DESIGN: Forty subjects presenting to the University of Johannesburg Chiropractic Clinic participated in the study. The participants were allocated to one of two groups. Participants in the Experimental Group received spinal manipulative therapy to restricted segments in the cervical spine, as was determined by motion palpation of the cervical spine. Participants in the Control Group received detuned ultrasound therapy as a placebo. Patients were seen a total of six times over a period of three weeks. MEASUREMENTS: Participants were asked to copy a document on a standard computer keyboard, once before the treatment trial, and once following the treatment trial. The number of errors made pre-treatment was calculated and compared to the number of errors made post-treatment. CONCLUSION: Patients in the experimental group made significantly less typing errors following the treatment trial, while there was no difference in the number of typing errors made by patients in the control group. The results of this study increase potential for the chiropractic profession to contribute to the efficiency of the increasing number of people in the population that perform work on computers.

▼ SUMMARY Tatjana Komskienė. Personal and
Social-Psychological
Adjustment of Gifted Children. Lithuanian
University of Agriculture, Departament of Proffesional Pedagogy and
Psychology, Kaunas 2006, Research adviser dr. R.Adamonienė. In this
work we analyse the specific features of personal and
social-psychological
adjustment of gifted children, the main
factors that influence efficiency of this process, define the role
of family, school and society in it and suggest some practical
advices for parents and teachers. There are two opposite opinions
about the efficiency of
adjustment of gifted children. Some authors
assert, that they are better adjusted in comparison with general
population. The others argue and affirm, that they experience more
adjustment problems than their peers. The most important factors
facilitating the process of
adjustment are: high intelectual
ability, good self-control, highly developed interpersonal or
intrapersonal intelligence and supporting home atmosphare. The main
factors, that may cause failures in the process of
adjustment are:
inadequacy between social, intelectual and emotional development,
lack of social competence, the hostility of social environment and
negative self-image. The main task of parents, school and society
is to create opportunities and better conditions for revealing
their abilities and helping them in the succesfull process of
adjustment.
