This essay covers the subject of children with language disorders. We are two educators writing an experience-based essay on our preschool experiences and the literature with the subject of speaking disorders and verbal development. The main focus of this essay is how educators can recognize and stimulate children with language disorder. The starting point in the essay is two experience-based events from preschool which tells of two different boys, aged three and four. Both boys have some kind of verbal disorder and one of them also has Down´s syndrome. With support from the literature, this essay discusses different types of speaking disorders and how these can affect literacy development of children starting school. We clarify the meaning of the terms primary and secondary speech disorders. Furthermore, we discuss the importance of TAKK (Tecken som Alternativ Kompletterande Kommunikation, Eng. Signing as Alternative Complementary Communication) as a supportive tool for the development of one’s own language, and highlight other language stimulating activities; singing, storytelling and oral exercises. Finally, this essay stresses the importance of information from the parents of children with a speech disorder being is shared with the school, as this information is essential for a continued development of the child’s learning of speaking and reading. / Detta är en essä som handlar om barn med språkstörning. Vi är två pedagoger som skriver en erfarenhetsbaserad essä utifrån vår erfarenhet från förskolan samt med hjälp av litteratur om språkstörning och språkutveckling. Essän tar upp hur pedagoger kan uppmärksamma och stimulera barn med språkstörning. Utgångspunkten i essän är två erfarenhetsbaserade händelser från förskolan som berättar om två olika pojkar i åldern tre och fyra år. Båda pojkarna har någon form av språkstörning varav den ena pojken har Downs syndrom. Med litteraturens hjälp tar vi upp olika typer av språkstörning och hur det bland annat kan påverka läs- och skrivutvecklingen vid skolstart. Vi klargör innebörden av begreppen primär och sekundär språkstörning. För att hjälpa barn med språkstörning tar vi upp hur viktigt TAKK (Tecken som Alternativ Kompletterande Kommunikation) är som stöd för att kunna utveckla det egna språket. Några andra språkstimulerande aktiviteter som lyfts fram i essän är musik, sagoläsning och mungymnastik. Slutligen tar essän upp pedagogens uppdrag att förmedla föräldrar till barn med språkstörning vikten av att information om barnets språkstörning lämnas över till skolan. Denna information är viktig för en fortsatt utveckling av barnets läs- och skrivinlärning.

Studiens syfte är att utforska en musikers kroppsspråk vid instuderingen av en orkesterstämma. Detta har observerats under instuderingen av förstaflöjtstämman i fjärde satsen av Brahms andra symfoni. Studien har sin utgångspunkt i det designteoretiska perspektivet och har genomförts med hjälp av videoobservationer under repetitionsperioden av verket. Jag har även fört loggbok under processen av självobservationen. Resultatet av studien visar att de kroppsliga resurserna kan hjälpa, men också stjälpa, den musikaliska processen och dess uttryck. I diskussionen tar jag bland annat upp hur resurserna används sett ur det designteoretiska perspektivet. / The purpose of this study is to explore a musician's body language when studying an orchestral part. The observation took place during my own practice of the first flute part in the fourth movement of Brahms' second symphony and also during the rehearsal with the orchestra. The study has its basis in the perspective of design theory and I have used video observations during the rehearsal period of the work. I have also written a logbook during the process of self-observation. The result shows that the physical resources can help, but also hinder the musical process and its expression. In the end I discuss among other things how resources are used, seen from the design theory perspective.

Icke verbal kommunikation förekommer i vårdmöten dagligen. Den kan vara omedveten och otydlig vilket kan göra patienten förvirrad och stressad. Informationen som patienten får av sjukvårdspersonal uttrycks både med verbal och icke verbal kommunikation. i mötet kan icke verbal kommunikation ge stöd och trygghet i omvårdnaden för patienten. Syftet med studien var all belysa sjukvårdspersonalens icke verbala kommunikation i relationen till patienten. Studien utfördes som en systematisk litteraturstudie där resultatet baserades på fjorton vetenskapliga artiklar. De var inhämtade från databaser relevanta för omvårdnadsforskning. Resultatet indikerade att icke verbal kommunikation är ett redskap i vårdmötet. Då kommunikationsprocessen även fortlöper utan ord kan icke verbal kommunikation uttryckas på många olika sätt, däribland tonläge, beröring, gestikulering och kroppsspråk. Det påvisar betydelsen av icke verbal kommunikation för relationen. Det verbala får en djupare förståelse med hjälp av det icke verbala och det kan stärka relationen mellan sjukvårdspersonal och patient. Forskning visar på att sjukvårdsyrkena behöver bredda sin utbildning av icke verbal kommunikation för att optimera vårdmötet. Även mer forskning behövs inom icke verbal kommunikation. / Nonverbal communication occurs in healthcare daily. It may be unconscius and unclear, and it may make the patient confused and stressed. The information that the patient receive from the medical staff, can be expressed in both nonverbal and verbal communication. Under the meeting the patient can feel support and security through nonverbal communication. The purpose of this study was to elucidate professional's nonverbal communication in relation to the patient. It was conducted as a literature study where the results were based on fourteen scientific articles. They were retrieved from databases, relevant to nursing research. The results indicate that nonverbal communication is a tool in health care encounter. When the communication process continues even without words, nonverbal communication is expressed in many different ways. There, in among other, the tone, touch, gestures and body language. It demonstrates the importance of nonverbla communication in the relationship. The verbal get at deeper understanding through the nonverbal and it can streghten the relationship between the health professional and patient. Research shows that the medical profession needs to broaden its training of nonverbal communication to optimize the health care encounter. Although more research is needed on the subject.

Syftet med denna undersökning är att undersöka och belysa pedagogers syn på rörelseaktiviteters betydelse för barnens språkutveckling. Jag vill också få kunskap om man arbetar på olika sätt med rörelseaktiviteter och språkutveckling när det gäller barnens ålder.Jag har använt mig av intervjuer som verktyg för att uppnå syftet med min undersökning. När jag formulerade mina intervjufrågor utgick jag från min frågeställning. Jag valde att genomföra intervjuerna via mail. Jag har intervjuat 5 pedagoger. Pedagogerna bor i olika kommuner i Mellansverige och är kvinnor i blandade åldrar. De har arbetat olika länge och med barn inom förskolan.Flera pedagoger nämner att språket är en ständigt pågående och utvecklande process. Denna process startar redan när man som spädbarn börjar jollra. Processen fortsätter och leds framåt med hjälp av både vardagliga diskussioner och att aktivt arbete med estetiskt lärande. Språkutveckling handlar inte enbart om det talande språket utan också om kroppsspråket då detta är viktigt för att förstärka och förtydliga ord och meningar, kroppen förstärker den inre förståelsen. Pedagogerna anser att den motoriska utvecklingen främjar barns språkutveckling genom exempelvis leken. För att främja denna utveckling kan man som pedagog arbeta med de estetiska ämnena. Som pedagog är man en förebild och en inspirationskälla till barnen i förskolan. / The purpose of this study is to explore and illuminate teacher´s views on movement influence their children's language development. I also want to gain knowledge of working in different ways with physical activities and language development when it comes to children's ageI have used the interviews as tools to achieve the object of my inquiry. When I formulated my interview questions, I assumed my issue. I chose to conduct the interviews by email. I have interviewed five teachers. The teachers live in different municipalities in central Sweden and women of mixed ages. They have worked for different periods and with children in the preschool.Several teachers mentioned that language is an ongoing and evolving process. This process starts already when the infant begins to babble. The process continues, and led forward by using both everyday discussions and actively works with aesthetic learning. Language development is not only about the spoken language, but also about body language as this is important for strengthening and clarifying words and sentences, the body strengthens the internal understanding. Educators believe that motor development promotes children's language development by example game. To promote this development can be as an educator working with the aesthetic subjects. As an educator, you are a role model and an inspiration to the children in preschool

Studien utgår ifrån ett interaktionistiskt och socialkonstruktionistiskt perspektiv och har till syfte att studera och jämföra beteende och social interaktion i två olika krogmiljöer. Frågeställningarna berör flera delar av interaktion, bland annat kroppsspråk och umgänge. För att undvika försköningar av verkligheten och studera beteenden i en kontext används observation som metod Detta genom en kvalitativ undersökning där händelser och beteenden fokuseras. I observationerna fokuseras olika typer av grupperingar, hur personer tar kontakt med varandra, hur personer använder sig av kroppsspråket och blicken, om det förekommer beröring och vilket avstånd personer håller till varandra. Fokus ligger även på hur personer använder sig av rummet, till exempel var och hur man placerar sig i rummet och även den rådande normen kring utseende. Materialet från observationerna bearbetas med hjälp av en modifierad kvalitativ innehållsanalys för att sedan kopplas samman med tidigare presenterade teorier. Resultaten visar på att kroppsspråk är ett viktigt verktyg för att kommunicera och interagera i krogmiljön. Det vanligaste sättet att ta kontakt är genom dansen och beteende och interaktion förändras över tid, vilket i studien kan ses genom att kontaktförsöken ökar under kvällens gång. Studien visar även att det finns tydliga normer i utseende, vilka skiljer sig åt mellan de båda undersökta krogmiljöerna. / The study is based on an interactionist and social constructionist perspective and aims to study and compare the behavior and social interaction in two different pub/nightclub environments. The study concentrates on several aspects of the interaction such as body language and socializing. It is a qualitative study in which events and behaviors are focused on using observation as a method. This to avoid embellishment of reality and to study the behavior in a context. The focus of the observation is different types of groupings, how people make contact with each other, how people use their body language and make eye contact, if there is touching involved in contact and what kind of distance people are maintaining from each other. How individuals are using the room, where and how they position themselves in the room and the norms surrounding appearance are focused on as well. The material from the observations is processed using a modified content analysis and then linked together with previously presented theories. The study shows that body language is an important instrument for communicating and interacting in the pub/nightclub environment and that the most common way to make contact is through dance. The study also shows that behavior and interactions changes over time, as the observation showed increased attempts to make contact during the evening. Another result of the study shows distinct rules in appearance. These rules differ between the two investigated pub/nightclub environments.

The design discipline is reliant on communication as a means to express and share ideas during the creation of products. Design communication can take place in two distinct settings: formal communication presentations and informal interaction communication. Group design communication involves the communication of various attributes of a design. Attributes such as the scale, shape and functionality of a product are communicated. Designers employ various mechanisms including verbal, non-verbal (e.g. hand gestures), and physical tools (e.g. sketches and models) to communicate attributes. Although the verbal and physical tools are commonly used effective tools, hand gestures remain underused. Yet, hand gestures are extensions of the human mind, which may reveal thoughts that verbal communication may not be able to communicate (McNeil, 1992). Hand gestures have the potential to reveal thoughts and if used as an interface mechanism, can augment the information space. As such, hand gestures may facilitate design communication within a group. This study explores the potential of hand gestures as tools in design communication. Moreover; the purpose of this study is to understand how gestures can facilitate the design communication that occurs within a group. A two-phase study was proposed: a research phase and a design phase. During the research phase, ethnographic research in design education environments was conducted to understand what gestures are produced and how they are used during formal and informal design communication settings. The data collected was analyzed and categorized to reveal quantitative and qualitative results. Survey studies were also conducted to validate the hand gesture meaning. The data was used to create design guidelines that directed the design phase, where concepts used hand gestures as interface mechanisms, to augment the experience of a design information exchange. The significance of this project is to generate new knowledge to be applied to the development of more natural technological systems where gestures are used as an alternative to current input devices (e.g. mouse and keyboard) for navigation and manipulation of design material amongst a group. The goal was to improve the communication between designers and their materials and enhance the experience of distributing and receiving design information.

This study aims to analyze the dance Lapinha as body language in a religious context. It is a descriptive qualitative research, the subjects investigated are brincantes and engineers Lapinhas of Jesus de Nazaré and Menino Deus. The instruments used for data collection were interviews, camera and camcorder and the observations used a diary (ethnography). Data analysis used the Structural Analysis of Narrative by Roland Barthes (2001) and data processing concepts of phenomenology Merleu-Ponty (2006). Therefore, research promoted a cutout revealing the history of a culture typically Lapinha Northeast. Well as in the considerations corporeality in dance, how the experiences and bodily experiences enables the development of sensitivity, expressiveness and ability to engage with the world body. Finally, we analyze the body language and arrive at the result that dance Lapinha through body movements, expressions and gestures make up the choreography and it is through the dancing bodies that are the meanings and senses the manifestation of mirth. Results and discussions fostered highlight the importance of analyzing a culture that is so rich in meanings, as well as your body language in a religious context, taking into account that the body is not an object, but rather a body that transmits messages can be understood through their gestures and has historical and cultural influences. / Esta dissertação sumariza uma pesquisa sobre a Lapinha encenada durante o período natalino e por meio da linguagem corporal nesse folguedo se desvenda um corpo com gestualidade repleto de significados. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a dança da Lapinha enquanto linguagem corporal no contexto religioso. É uma pesquisa qualitativa descritiva, os sujeitos investigados são as brincantes e os coordenadores das Lapinhas Jesus de Nazaré e Menino Deus. Os instrumentos utilizados para coleta dos dados foram entrevistas, câmera fotográfica e filmadora e para as observações usou um diário de campo (etnografia). Para análise dos dados utilizamos a Análise Estrutural da Narrativa de Roland Barthes (2001) e para tratamento dos dados os conceitos da fenomenologia de Merleu-Ponty (2006). Para tanto, a investigação promoveu um recorte da história da Lapinha revelando uma cultura tipicamente nordestina. Bem como, nos possibilitou reflexões sobre a corporeidade na dança, de como as vivências e experiências corporais possibilita o desenvolvimento da sensibilidade, expressividade e da capacidade de diálogo do corpo com o mundo. Por fim, analisamos a linguagem corporal e chegamos ao resultado que a dança da Lapinha por meio dos movimentos corporais, das expressões e dos gestos compõem a coreografia e é por meio dos corpos que dançam que estão os significados e sentidos da manifestação desse folguedo. Os resultados e discussões fomentados evidenciam a importância de se analisar uma cultura que é tão rica de significados, bem como a sua linguagem corporal no contexto religioso, levando em consideração que o corpo não é um objeto, mas sim, um corpo que transmite mensagens que podem ser compreendidas por meio de sua gestualidade e que tem influências histórico-culturais.

Identificamos a perspectiva de explorar a hipótese de materialização tridimensional do corpo em movimento com base nos princípios desenvolvidos por Rudolf Laban como a kinesfera, o espaço pessoal que envolve os movimentos de nosso corpo. Partindo desta hipótese, construímos uma narrativa a partir da relação do sujeito com o espaço e desenvolvemos uma interface denominada Kintra, que é capaz de identificar elementos estruturais do corpo em movimento e gerar dados que permitam a construção de modelos arquitetônicos tridimensionais corporificados que possam, posteriormente, vir a ser impressos em 3D. Como metodologia de pesquisa utilizamos um método de abordagem sistêmico, pautado nos estudos da complexidade, em que reconhecemos este processo artístico como um sistema. Para tanto, a base teórica e conceitual dos estudos inclui a Teoria Geral dos Sistemas e estudos da complexidade presentes nas obras de Werner Mende (1982), Humberto Maturana e Francisco Varela (2003), Edgar Morin (2005), Jorge de Albuquerque Vieira (2006); os princípios da linguagem da dança encontrados em Rudolf Von Laban (1929;1978), Valerie Preston-Dunlop (2003), Ciane Fernandes (2006) e Isabel Marques (2010); conceitos e noções relacionadas ao sujeito e espaço de Merleau-Ponty (1992, 1994), Peter Eisenman (1990), Marc Augé (1994), Bernard Tschumi (1995), Henri Lefebvre (2000), Madeline Gins e Shusaku Arakawa (2002) além de Juhani Pallasmaa (2013); fundamentos de Arquitetura e Parametria nos estudos de William Mitchell (1977) e Branko Kolarevic (2003); bem como as compreensões de corpo e tecnologia levantadas por Ivani Santana (2006), Mark Hansen (2006) e Rosangella Leote (2015). / This dissertation investigates the possibilities of materialization of the space built by the moving body and its physical representations through emergent technological devices from the research about the spacialities of the body. We identify the perspective of the explorating the hypothesis of the tridimensional materialization of the moving body based on the fundamentals developed by Rudolf Laban (1966) as the concept of kinesphere, the personal space that involves the movements of our body. From this hypothesis, we create a narrative from the relationships between the subject with the space and we develop an interface named Kintra, wich is able to identify the structural elements of the moving body and generates information that makes possible for us to build tridimensional architectural models wich can be later 3D printed. As methodology of research, we will make use of the systemic approach, based on complexity studies, in wich we recognize this artistic process as a system. Therefore, the theoretical basis includes the General Systems Theory and Complexity studies inside the works of Werner Mende (1982), Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela (2003), Edgar Morin (2005), Jorge de Albuquerque Vieira (2006), the Dance Language funtamentals and principles found in Rudolf Von Laban (1929;1978), Valerie Preston - Dunlop (2003), Ciane Fernandes (2006) and Isabel Marques (2010), the philosophic concepts and notions related to the subject and space of Merleau - Ponty (1992, 1994), Peter Eisenman (1990), Marc Augé (1994), Bernard Tschumi (1995), Henri Lefebvre (2000), Madeline Gins e Shusaku Arakawa (2002) and Juhani Pallasmaa (2013), the basis of Architecture and Generative Models in the studies of William Mitchell (1977) and Branko Kolarevic (2003), as well as the comprehension of body and technology raised by Ivani Santana (2006), Mark Hansen (2006) and Rosangella Leote (2015). / CAPES: 1481783
