This paper aims to form a clear understanding of the counsellors work with self-harming at youth clinics. And to explore the counsellors approach to help the youth to change their behavior. And whether the counsellors follow a preventive and supportive way for mental health in relation to adolescent self-injurious behavior. The data collected for this study utilises a primary source of data. Counsellors working at different youth clinics around Sweden were interviewed using  semi-structured interviews. The gathered material was then analyzed using a thematic analysis method.  All the interviewed counsellors asserted on the importance of establishing a good relationship with patients, although each counsellor had their own methods and approaches.  The counsellors reported that young people engage in self-injurious behavior as a means to deal with stress. And that this behaviour seems to be increasing among adolescents due to a number of factors including lack of parental care, bullying at school, addiction issues at home, and many other factors. Upon asking youth caunsellors about their approach, they note that normalizing self-harming behavior during sessions is an essential key to allow patients to open up about their life. Counsellors are actively seeking to uplift the youth by empowerment. Which seems to be a means that helps the counsellors to change the youths coping mechanism. Through getting them to get in touch with their own emotions, change the way they think and deal with problems, as well as help them by motivating them to find social support from the people around them. However, it was also found that some counsellors did not use a preventive method in dealing with the self-harming youth. There is a number of reasons for not using a preventive method by the counsellors, some of which were lack of resources, time limits, and other reasons illustrated in the paper.

This study examines the role of social media in maintaining interest in classic cinema in today’s media culture. Ethnographic analyses and case studies were performed within a robust classic cinema fan network on the social media blogging site Tumblr. The practices of these bloggers and their online platform are framed against the traditional structure of the curator and museum, indicating that they serve many of the cultural functions attributed to these institutions. This study further demonstrates that these Tumblr networks serve as a resource for young people to discover, share, and create communities relating to classic cinema. Due to the networking capabilities of Tumblr’s youth-oriented platform, these fan activities reach a broad range of individuals, exposing them to scenes and actors from classic cinema, stimulating interest in and acceptance of the cinematic framework of classic films. This content visibility and distribution potentially draws those outside the community into the extant fan network. These communities and practices represent previously unexplored methods by which classic cinema appreciation may develop and thrive within the fast-paced media culture of the 21st century. / text

This thesis is a theoretical study that characterizes shared childcare after divorce as the most suitable post-divorce arrangement. This assumption is based on developmental changes in the European family from the time of the French Revolution, the development of family law and important aspects of family law, as well as on the needs of children, and definitions of maternal and paternal love. This hypothesis is also supported by the results of foreign research, which compares the lives of children in different post-divorce arrangements. The following paper discusses mediation as an appropriate way of helping parents achieve a solution that is suitable for all participants in the dispute. In the conclusion some case studies are presented.

The aim of the study is to analyze the understanding of how curators at Bloton Open Care look at collaboration with actors linked to their work. A qualitative method was used and the data was based on semi-structured interviews with six curators from Bloton Open Care and additionally one of the managers.   The findings point to that collaboration is crucial in the work with children and families if the child or family is in contact with several social service organizations. The curators emphasize the importance of being able to see their own part in collaborative work and consequently being humble while helping others. The understanding of others is grounded in transparency of the participant's shortcomings as well as the company´s. The prerequisites for collaborative work become more efficient if the purpose behind the collaboration is clear and all participants in the collaboration are familiar with the matter.

O campo da comunicação pública no Brasil transita em uma área sombreada. Os canais de radiodifusão públicos são confundidos com aparelhos de governo e operam como tal. A criação da EBC foi uma tentativa de inflexão nessa tradição. O que a diferenciou de outros sistemas públicos foi a decisão de colocar a gestão de seus conteúdos na mão da sociedade civil, por meio de um Conselho Curador, formado em sua maioria por representantes desta. Essa pesquisa estudou como se concretizou esse processo de representação da sociedade na EBC por meio da análise de um caso debatido no âmbito desse Conselho: a disputa pela diversidade religiosa grade de programação nas emissoras da EBC, em particular a TV Brasil. A pesquisa concentrou-se no período de 2009 a 2013, quando foram analisadas notas taquigráficas, mensagens do público que integra a audiência, documentos oficiais e entrevistas de profundidade com telespectadores. Com isso foram analisados os diferentes pontos de vistas sobre o processo que recomendou a suspensão da programação religiosa das emissoras da EBC e depois o recuo a essa decisão. A decisão, tomada pelo Conselho, apesar de ser afinada com a sociedade civil organizada e minorias, o isolou de outras instâncias de poder: o legislativo, o judiciário, o executivo e as instituições religiosas e, especialmente, gerou um processo que levaria a exclusão de um público majoritário das emissoras. A decisão fragiliza o Conselho enquanto instância de representação e revela o descolamento deste em relação às demandas da sociedade. O que coloca uma questão fundamental para a discussão da comunicação pública: o quanto o público que deveria ser objeto da comunicação pública vem sendo desprezado? / The field of public communication in Brazil transits in a shadowy area. The public radio-broadcasting channels are mistaken by govenrment devices and are handled as so. The EBC creation was an attempt of breaking this tradition. What made it differ from other public sistems was the decision of placing the control of its contentes in the hand of the civil society, by a Curator Board, composed mainly by its own representatives. This research studied how the process of the society being representated in EBC took place by means of the analysis of a case discussed in the scope of that Council: the dispute about the religious diversity, scheduling the EBC station, in particular TV Brasil. The study focused between the years 2009 to 2013, when shorthand notes were reviewed, as well as messages sent from the people taken place in the audience, oficial documents and in-depth interviews with viewers. Thus it was possible to go through the different points of view about the case in which recommended the suspension of the religious progamming in the EBC broadcasting stations and then the withdrawing of the decision. The determination, taken by the Council, although being lined up with the organized civil society and minorities, isolated itself of other political power levels: the legislative, the judiciary, the excutive and religious institutions, and specially, resulted in a process in which would exclude a vast majority of the public from the transmitter. The decision weakens the Council while representative body and reveals its displacement in relationship to the societys demand. Therefore, a fundamental question is put into discussion concerning public communication: how much should the public who is object of the public communication has been despised?

O problema maior é a própria definição do objeto de estudo. Para isso, temos como base os textos dos poucos autores nacionais e estrangeiros que se debruçaram sobre o tema. Alguns deles, inclusive, não são trabalhos acadêmicos, mas catálogos de luxo voltados para a venda de obras ou a divulgação de museus ou coleções particulares. Busca-se estabelecer parâmetros para o debate das manifestações plásticas que são chamadas pela crítica especializada como Arte Naif. O maior evento desse gênero de pintura no Brasil, a Bienal Naifs do Brasil, é realizado em Piracicaba, SP, e teve a sua décima edição em 2010. A pesquisa realiza uma análise dos textos de curadores, curadores-adjuntos e integrantes dos júris de seleção das dez edições do evento (1992-2010) e suas referências para instituir uma discussão sobre o conceito de Arte Naif. Esse diálogo inclui a discussão plástica de obras categorizadas no gênero. Traz ainda comentários sobre os principais artistas que expuseram nas diversas edições da Bienal.

The author of this diploma thesis focuses on the issues of cooperation of the curator for children and youngsters with school institutions (especially schools). The aim of this cooperation and its subsequent description is to elaborate a multiple case study of selected students whose issues were so serious that the help of a curator was needed. The theoretical part of the thesis is focused on the behaviour of students that is so serious that it goes beyond the scope of regular pedagogical approaches conducted by the school. The system of institutional help, often at hand to schools in such situations, is described with respect to the function of the curator for youngsters. The practical part of the thesis provides the reader with a multiple case study of several selected students whose issues were so severe that the cooperation of a curator was required. A qualitative research was used to elaborate the study and the results were obtained by semi-structured interviews with the students' parents, teachers, specialized pedagogical centre workers as well as the students themselves.
