“…While Bree in Crank (Hopkins, 2004 ) does not appear as wealthy as Natalie, she shows disdain for people who are not affluent. Throughout the novel she moves between the middle-class setting of her mother’s house and the working-class setting of her father’s.…”

“…Throughout the novel she moves between the middle-class setting of her mother’s house and the working-class setting of her father’s. In the beginning of the novel, she dreads visiting her father because she “had zero desire to see how the working class lived” (Hopkins, 2004 , p. 29) and describes him as living in a “blue collar kingdom” (p. 29). Bree explicitly compares her bedroom at each house, describing the bed at her father’s house as “Bedzilla” with a thin, mildewed mattress and “thrift-store” sheets (p. 59) while her room at her mother’s house is “Pin clean, pretty in mauve… pillow-top mattress to die for” (p. 60).…”

“…Only two texts included families and protagonists outside of middle to upper-class SES including Laurel, who is identified with working class markers in Beneath a Meth Moon (Woodson, 2012 ), and Bree’s father in Crank (Hopkins, 2004 ). Laurel is homeless after becoming addicted to meth, but she is displaced for the entirety of the novel following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.…”

“…The reference to the clinic is brief. Bree says, “The clinic was gated, walled and secure… I wept, as my sisters wept at what might have been, had we turned in another direction” (Hopkins, 2004 , p. 523). The reader can assume Bree’s mother arranged her treatment, as her father only talks to Bree once after she returns to live with her mother.…”

“…We included a tenth book with an earlier publication date as an exception to the criteria: Go Ask Alice (Sparks, 1971 ) because it appeared on every list we referenced, and its enduring popularity might encourage teachers or YA readers to pick up the book despite its age. After using these search parameters, we were left with the following ten books: Go Ask Alice (Sparks, 1971 ) Crank (Hopkins, 2004 ) Finding Hope (Nelson, 2016 ) Clean (Reed, 2011 ) Beneath a Meth Moon (Woodson, 2012 ) Far From You (Sharpe, 2014 ) The Way I Used to Be ( Smith, 2016 ) Other Broken Things (Desir, 2016 ) Wild Bird (Van Draanen, 2017 ) Heroine (McGinnis, 2018 ) …”

Figured Worlds of Addiction: A Content Analysis of 10 YAL Texts

While the opioid epidemic rages on in the US, adolescent drug use and abuse is often left unaddressed in university and public-school classrooms. In an effort to support educator’s conversations with youth about drug and alcohol addiction, this study draws on the theory of figured worlds to conduct a critical content analysis of 10 YAL novels to understand how adolescents with addiction are constructed within the selected texts. Our findings detail three themes that work together to construct figured worlds in which: the majority of protagonists in the texts are middle class, white, teenage girls; the protagonists’ experiences around addiction are preceded by one or a series of traumatic events; and, due to their privilege, the protagonists have ready access to rehabilitation facilities and other mental health supports. We offer both implications for our findings and directions for future research.

Background This study aimed to compare the stress tolerance, competitive anxiety, heart rate variability and salivary cortisol before and during successive futsal competitive matches (3 matches in 4 days) in young male futsal players. Methods 10 young male futsal players (16.9 ± 0.7 age; 71.0 ± 5.1 kg; 174.9 ± 4.3 cm) were monitored during one training session and across a competitive period with 3 successive matches. External load was determined by the PlayerLoad method, while session rating of perceived exertion was used to calculate the internal training and competitive load. The stress tolerance was examined using Daily Analysis of Life Demand in Athletes questionnaire and the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory was used to analyze the competitive anxiety. The Time and frequency monitoring parameters were used to analyze the vagal cardiac autonomic marker. sC was analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results A generalized estimating equation showed a significant difference for PlayerLoad from M1 to TS, M2 and M3, from M2 to M3 (p < 0.05), and for session rating of perceived exertion from M1 to Ts and M3 (p < 0.05). A difference for sources [χ2(3) = 1.481, p = 0.68] or symptoms [χ2(3) = 3.893, p = 0.27] was not found. There was no significant difference in any of the competitive anxiety [cognitive anxiety (F (1.644; 14.799) = 4.6, p = 0.73, ŋ2 p = 0.28), somatic anxiety (F (2,09; 18,85) = 26.07 p = 0.057; ŋ2p = 0.27) or self-confidence (F(2.07; 18.85) = 15.875 p = 0.152; ŋ2p = 0.18)] domains. The HRV parameters (time domain and frequency) and Salivary Cortisol (sC) (χ2(3) = 4.320 p = 0.229) did not significantly change during the successive matches. Conclusion The competitive scenario in which the players were evaluated did not significantly modify the stress tolerance, or the athletes’ state of anxiety, which in turn was not able to promote changes in the cardiac vagal modulation or in the sC levels before the matches.

A small garage on the sidelines of a corporation: Should innovative projects be isolated?

The article aims to attempt to answer the question of whether innovative projects should be isolated in an organisation. A critical analysis of the literature on the subject reveals a divergence of views on the proper placement of social or technological innovation projects. The research hypothesis formulated holds that the more conducive the innovative project team is to interact with the rest of the organisation and the norms and values within the team are oriented toward learning, the stronger the learning of the project team. The culture metaphor of an organisation was used to verify the research hypothesis. It has been assumed that project team learning means that project team members transform the norms and values previously adhered to in the organisational culture. On the basis of the survey results, it was impossible to accept the research hypothesis. Despite the increase in the intensity of the factors that foster interactions between teams implementing innovative projects and the rest of the organisation, team learning did not increase as originally expected.
