Devised Theatre

This article examines how theatre performances can be created based on the lifeworld of a specific target group: fourteen-year-old pupils at secondary school. Using a target group as experts during eight workshops, students collaborate with the pupils in trying to make performances that communicate with this age group. By examining nine theatre productions, the article shows how different strategies in working with a target group can be implemented effectively in the process of making devised theatre. These strategies are: 1) Finding a focal point for the work in the overlapping field between the interests of the pupils and the students. 2) Developing texts through interviews and verbatim techniques, which allow the pupils’ voices to be heard and expressed in an authentic way in the performance. 3) Developing physical material by using techniques from Frantic Assembly and Viola Spolin’s methodology as inspiration for the workshops. The article shows how the techniques are introduced to the students before they try them out with the pupils. Together, they create physical scenes that are used in the performance. 4) By integrating interactive elements into the performance, the students try out different ways of communicating with the specific target group. The article shows how working with a target group forces students to engage in artistic and ethical reflection.

Close Friendship

Background: This study examined how adolescents with mild intellectual disabilities define qualities of friendship and discussed the extent to which these definitions adhere to established definitions of close friendship. Materials and Methods: The study was based on qualitative interviews with 11 adolescents in secondary school. The interviews were supplemented with information from six parents. A thematic structural analysis was used to identify themes. Results: Qualities of friendship were categorized as mutual preference, mutual enjoyment, shared interactions, care, mutual trust and bonding. The criteria for close friendship seem to be fulfilled, albeit to a moderate degree. Closeness and reciprocity appear to be significant in this study, although these features have been considered less relevant within this target group in previous research. Conclusions: Differences in definitions may explain divergent results compared with other studies, and the need to achieve equivalence in friendship may be another.

BACKGROUND: Stress can reduce the efficiency of healthy individuals as has been shown in most of the physiological studies. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of examination stress on haematological and haemodynamic parameters in higher secondary school students. METHODS: The present study was carried out at Government Higher Secondary School, Jammu. Fifty healthy students between the age group of 16 to 19 years were selected for the study. Haemodynamic parameters recorded were pulse and blood pressure. Haematological parameters estimated were RBC, WBC, neutrophil, eosinophil, platelet, monocyte, lymphocyte and basophil count. The first sample of blood was collected under aseptic conditions between 8 a.m. to 8.30 a.m., three months prior to the final academic examination and the second sample was collected from the same subjects on the day of practical and oral part of examination. RESULTS: Pre-examination CBC showed WBC, Neutrophil, Eosinophil and monocyte of 8221.9 ± 416.69, 5140.7 ± 471.34, 185.46 ± 58.18, 273784 ± 36034.23, 244.7 ± 82.90, 2657.78 ± 212.92 and 21.1 ± 5.14 per mm3 respectively. Whileas during examination counts were 8191.86 ± 417.45, 5229.48 ± 478.07, 161.46 ± 68.05, 285567.26 ± 33641.45, 228.32 ± 90.85, 2562.9 ± 220.00 and 13.78 ± 5.58 per mm3 respectively. Compared with pre-examination results, the blood samples taken during exams showed a significant decrease in eosinophil, basophil, lymphocyte and monocyte count. An increase in platelet and neutrophil count was also observed. No significant changes were observed in RBC count. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that academic examinations in secondary school are stressful enough to produce changes in blood cell parameters. JMS 2012;15(2):153-56

Background: Obesity is one of the major public health problems worldwide. The trend has been increasing in lower socioeconomic country like Nepal. Obesity and overweight are prevalent in all age groups and responsible for various health issues. Children and adolescent group are more vulnerable in developing countries like ours. So, this study is aimed to estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity among secondary school students of Bharatpur-10.                   Methods: It was a cross-sectional study done on class 9 and10 (Two private and two government secondary schools) of Bharatpur-10 Municipality, Chitwan. A predesigned questionnaire was distributed among the students. Weight was recorded by standardized weighing machine and height by metallic measuring tape. Body mass index was calculated by appropriate formula. Results: There were 266 students (55.6% male and 44.6% female) in this study with the mean age of 14.91 years and majority (74.8%) were in age group 13-15 years. 9.77% students were overweight and 3% obese; overweight was prevalent in 8% male and 18% female students, and 6% public and 20% private school students. Students who take snacks during watching television were significantly overweight as compared to those who do not (13.33% vs 6.11%). There was no significant association between overweight and ethnicity/religion, type of family, number of siblings, family history of diabetes, socioeconomic status, food consumption frequency, hours of watching TV or not involving in physical activities in school. Conclusions: This study found a relatively high prevalence of overweight among female students of 13-15 years age group from private school.

Due to the market openness for the competitive tobacco and liquor market, Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation has to pay attention to service quality and customer satisfaction more than before for its retailers in order to maintain its marketplace and even increase its sales. In this research, a case study at South Branch Office in Taichung City, Taiwan is conducted with the effective sample of size of 178 retailing customers through phone purchase by multivariate analysis of variance. The results show that Item 20 has the lowest satisfaction and is the only item less than the value of 3 in a 5-point Likert scale. A platform for retailers to order goods from the internet should be placed in the highest priority. In addition, the age group of 36-45 years old perceived the lowest satisfaction on Item 16, which should be the focal point. Moreover, the other focal point is that the retailers purchasing tobacco through phone purchase has the second lowest satisfaction on Item 17. The management needs to address these two issues in order to provide better service for its retailers.
