Att granska eller inte granska? : En studie av journalistiska roller i förändring under coronapandeminBohlin, Jesper, Olsson, Isak January 2021 (has links)
Previous research indicates that journalistic roles change in times of crisis, from critically reviewing authorities to disseminating information. Why does this happen? And are these indications true within a Swedish context? The aim of this study is to investigate how journalistic roles in Swedish media has changed over time during the covid-19 pandemic and what factors that lies behind the change.[JB1] To do this, a quantitative content analysis of Swedish news articles was used in combination with qualitative interviews with journalists. The content analysis found that the presence of critical roles (detached watchdog and critical change agent) decreased during the first months of the pandemic while the presence of informational and regime-friendly roles (populist disseminator and opportunist facilitator) increased. One year into the pandemic, the presence of critical roles resurged towards a normal level while the two informational and regime-friendly roles decreased. The qualitative interviews show that, whilst the perceived journalistic roles did not change during the pandemic, the ability to put those ideals to practice was affected by several external factors. These factors include: the dominance of corona-related news, the challenging nature of critically reviewing an ongoing crisis, a general lack of corona-related knowledge, changes in work practice and working environment, and a lack of previous experience from similar crises. The change in practiced journalistic roles was generally viewed by the respondents as unintended and problematic. This underlines the important difference between perceived and practiced journalistic roles. [JB1]Reviderat.

EFL Teachers’ Experiences Teaching Online using ICT : A Case Study of the Transition from Classroom Teaching to Online Teaching during the COVID-19 Pandemic / EFL lärares erfarenheter av att undervisa online genom IKT : En fallstudie om övergången från klassrumsundervisning till onlineundervisning under COVID-19 pandeminIngemarsson, Johanna January 2021 (has links)
The aim of this research project was to contribute to the knowledge about the teaching practices taking place during the COVID-19 pandemic, by investigating the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in online teaching by five EFL (English as a foreign language) teachers and their experiences of transforming from classroom teaching to online teaching during the pandemic. Furthermore, this study has also investigated how these teachers believe online teaching has affected their students’ English learning. The data was collected by using semi-structured interviews. The data were later analyzed by thematic analyses, and divided into themes, sub-themes and codes. It was concluded that teachers had both positive and negative experiences from teaching online. The fact that the education could be continued from home and that the teachers had improved their teaching practices was frequently expressed in positive opinions. However, the results from the study also revealed that the teachers had mostly negative experiences in terms of the actual process of teaching online, personal feelings, and the effects on students’ English learning. Issues such as technical difficulties, teaching online being time consuming and inhibited interactions are among the negative experiences regarding online teaching. In addition, suggestions have been made on how to improve distance education and how teaching online in the future requires teachers to be educated in how to implement effective ICT tools in their online teaching. / Syftet med denna studie har varit att bidra till kunskap om den undervisning som har skett under COVID-19 pandemin, genom att undersöka användningen av IKT (informations och kommunikations teknik) i den onlineundervisning som bedrivits av fem EFL-lärare (English as a Foreign Language) och deras erfarenheter av övergången från klassrumsundervisning till onlineundervisning. Vidare har denna studie även undersökt hur dessa lärare tror att onlineundervisningen har påverkat elevernas lärande i ämnet engelska. Datan samlades in med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer. Lärarnas svar analyserades senare med hjälp av tematiska analyser och delades in i teman, undertema och koder. Resultatet visade att lärarna hade både positiva och negativa erfarenheter av att undervisa online. Det faktum att eleverna kunde fortsätta sin utbildning hemifrån och att lärarna hade förbättrat sin egen undervisning uttryckets ofta i positiva åsikter. Resultat från studien visade däremot att lärarna hade mest negativa erfarenheter när det gällde den faktiska processen av att undervisa online, personliga känslor, och effekterna onlineundervisning har haft på elevernas lärande i ämnet engelska. Problematik så som tekniska svårigheter, att det var tidskrävande och att interaktionen mellan lärare och elever hämmades tillhör några av de negativa erfarenheter av onlineundervisning som lärarna vittnade om. Denna studie presenterar förslag på hur man kan förbättra distansutbildning och hur fortsatt undervisning online kräver att lärare utbildas i hur man implementerar effektiva IKT-verktyg i sin onlineundervisning.

Anti-corruption compliance in times of the Covid-19 pandemic: Criminal law risks and incentives for compliance-management-systems in the healthcare sectorSchönborn, Elias 21 April 2021 (has links)
In addition to a global endurance test for the health system, the Corona pandemic
triggered a tremendous social and economic crisis. Health professionals as well as
politicians and business managers have to make decisions with considerable consequences
under great time pressure. In this context, numerous international organizations
- including Transparency International, GRECO and IACA - point out
that the Corona crisis can be a breeding ground not only for conflicts of interest,
but also for corruption. Even though quick decisions have to be made at present, it is clear that the strict prohibitions on corruption must be fully observed also in
times of the Corona crisis. In order to avoid violations from the outset, existing compliance
systems should continuously be updated and adapted to the current situation.
This article begins with a description of possible forms of corruption in the
health care sector that are particularly relevant in the current times of crisis. Finally,
the article offers ideas for updates on the company's internal healthcare compliance
system with regard to anti-corruption.

Medical tourism in a pandemicEl-Khouri, Christian 21 April 2021 (has links)
Medical tourism, as many other industries, has suffered a big hit during the Covid
pandemic. Being impacted both on the tourism and the healthcare side of the industry,
it faces multiple challenges to recover. Looking at another period in time
when the medical tourism industry was this heavily impacted and comparing technological
advances during the respective periods, this article elaborates on how to
better use digital technologies to rebuild and strengthen international patient care
infrastructures.
Before delving into the topic at hand I make the usual disclaimer: Due to the sensitive
nature of the industry, there is not a lot of hard data available on medical
tourism. Many hospitals do not record foreign patients differently than local patients,
due to the specific set of laws that apply to them. Only a few medical tourism
destinations collect hard data and survey medical tourists on their experience.
Thus, any quantative analysis of the impact the Covid pandemic had and will have
on medical tourism is strongly limited.

The elephant in the virtual law classroomPerez, Tiffany A. 21 April 2021 (has links)
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, law schools had to pivot to virtual legal education
quickly. In the wake of the pandemic, scholars have eagerly written about the dos
and don’ts of the virtual law classroom. Although some articles have represented
the law students’ perspective and some have represented the law professor’s
perspective, none have done both in an attempt to create empathy and bridge the
gap between what students’ desire, and what law professors are currently
providing, and what good virtual legal education requires. As such, based on several
interviews with law professors and students, this Article begins by describing one
online Contracts class first from the professor’s point of view and then from the
student’s point of view. The professor and students’ different perceptions of the
same class are then analogized to John Godfrey Saxe’s poem The Blind Men and
the Elephant. Then, using the Kübler-Ross Grief Cycle as a vehicle to build
empathy and understanding, this article attempts to demonstrate the similarities
that exists between students and professors’ feelings about online virtual
education, namely that both professors and students alike are avidly grieving a
common loss: in-person, Socratic law school days of old. As such, they are both
experiencing denial and anger about their situations. In keeping with one of the key
strategies recommended by the Mayo Clinic for overcoming denial in grief, this
article “journals” their realities and provides both the student and professor perspective in the hopes that, by doing so, it will rid the misconceptions and bridge
the way for a new type of virtual legal education to be created—one that meets
(and/or exceeds) both professors’ and students’ expectations.

Studying in times of CoronaSchräder, Luise K. 21 April 2021 (has links)
In March 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic changed life circumstances drastically for
everyone. Exactly one year ago the university had to shift from campus to the internet.
This led to huge alterations in how professors lecture and how student university
life takes place. After this year, it is time to evaluate the changes and put
them into perspective. This means recognizing the benefits of technology to legal
education instead of seeing the current situation as a replacement that disappears
as soon as a return back to campus is possible.
