In this study, the socio-spatial formation of a public place in Ankara, the capital city of the Turkish Republic, is analyzed between the 1950s and the 1980s. Within this framework, the focus of analysis is the Tunali Hilmi Avenue (earlier &Ouml / zdemir Street) as one of the main streets in Ankara. To understand experiences of daily life in relation to spatial constitution of a public place is vital for this study, because this opens the way for discussing the formation of a &ldquo / street&rdquo / as a public place where social forms and practices come into being in the city. Focusing on the socio-spatial experiences of people on a street as a public place, this study uses visual and written documents about the architectural and planning processes, as well as the information gathered from oral history survey about the experiences of individuals, in order to understand how public life and public place are shaped in a reciprocal manner, and how the spatial formation of a street is realized in relation to daily experiences of its inhabitants. The decades from the foundation of the Turkish Republic until the late-1950s are initially presented as the period when this part of the city transformed from a suburb of vineyards into a residential area. The main period of analysis in this study is from the late 1950s to the late 1980s when the Tunali Hilmi Avenue was formed as a significant public place in Ankara, acquiring residential as well as cultural, recreational and commercial functions to act as an urban sub-center in the city. Aiming to produce a comprehensive architectural history of the socio-spatial formation of the Tunali Hilmi Avenue as a public place, with reference to its public role in a specific period of time, this study examines this process as associated with the contemporary changes in the built environment and daily life of Ankara. From such a broad perspective, the study evaluates the unplanned formation of the Avenue as an urban sub-center not only as an urban or architectural entity but also as a social process.

This thesis considers ordinary Swedish teenagers and their everyday use of,and views on, music. The aim of the study is to analyse the relationship between identity and adolescents’ use of music in their daily lives. Theories are employed that hold identity to be a process, and that comprise the social as well as the psychological aspects of the individual (Giddens,1991; 1997; Jenkins, 2008). Since for both Giddens and Jenkins the reflexive identity process takes place in everyday life, it is a concept that is essential to this study. The idea that people are active, not passive, in their day-to-day use of cultural products ultimately leads to Small’s (1998) definition of musicking. The empirical part of the study was carried out among fifteen eighthgraders (14–15 years) in two schools in two Swedish cities. An initial questionnaire provided outlines of the adolescents’ musical preferences, and were followed by focus group conversations centred on six music examples. Later, interviews were carried out to chart the informants’ individual relationships with music and their personal use of it. The material is analysed thematically in three chapters on music and ‘them’, music and ‘us’, and music and ‘me’. In the final chapter, a competent musicking agency is held to be a combinationof individual and social factors. Whether these aspects can coexist boils down to the question of authenticity: much like Giddens’s competent agent, the competent musicking agent moves between life sectors, maintaining balance between uniqueness and normality, and is therefore perceived as authentic by both herself and others. In school, pupils tend to choose music that promotes their public image. Instead of yielding to a tussle between self-image and public image, it is suggested that music education should become a free zone where the well known is looked at in newways, and where one could get to know the unknown.

Bakgrund: Multipel skleros (MS) är en autoimmun inflammatorisk sjukdom med individuellt varierande symtom. Varje person med MS har ett eget omvårdnadsbehov beroende på vilka symtom hen upplever. Personen lever med sjukdomen livet ut och nya symtom uppkommer regelbundet. Syfte: Litteraturstudiens syfte var att beskriva hur personer med MS upplever att symtom och omvårdnadsbehov påverkar deras vardagliga liv samt att beskriva de inkluderade artiklarnas urvalsmetod. Metod: Beskrivande litteraturstudie. Artiklar söktes fram via databasen Cinahl samt via manuella sökningar. Totalt framkom 11 vetenskapliga artiklar, 10 kvalitativa och 1 med mixad metod, som inkluderades i litteraturstudien. Huvudresultat: Symtom och omvårdnadsbehov påverkade personerna med MS vardagliga liv och autonomi. Symtomen som hade störst påverkan var uttalad trötthet och problem med rörelseförmågan, men alla symtom påverkade personerna på ett eller annat sätt. Ingen aspekt av vardagen var opåverkad och utöver symtomen var omvårdnadsbehovet ett hinder för att personerna skulle kunna gör det de ville. Energibristen och att vara beroende av andra för att vardagen skulle gå ihop var ett problem. Personerna hade en stark vilja att göra mer än de klarade av och de ville inte känna sig handikappade. Personerna prioriterade det viktigaste i livet. Det framkom att artiklarna valt liknande urvalsmetoder för att svara på deras syfte. Slutsats: MS är en sjukdom vars symtom och omvårdnadsbehov påverkar personens vardagliga liv på många sätt, framförallt förmågan att leva som tidigare och personens känsla av autonomi. Att göra de aktiviteter som önskades var svårt och personerna blev tvungna att prioritera det som var viktigast för dem. / Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease with individually  varying symptoms. Each person with MS has their own care needs, depending on which symptoms he/she experiences. The person live with MS the rest of his/her life and new symptoms occur regularly.

Η μελέτη αυτή έχει ως στόχο την ανάλυση του περιεχομένου σχολικών βιβλίων Χημείας Δευτεροβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης που διδάσκονται στo Γυμνάσιο και στο Λύκειο στην Ελλάδα. Αρχικά, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τη βιβλιογραφία και τα αντίστοιχα αναλυτικά προγράμματα σπουδών ανιχνεύτηκαν κάποια κριτήρια, σύμφωνα με τα οποία η διδασκαλία και η μάθηση της Χημείας γίνεται πιο αποδοτική, αποτελεσματική και χρήσιμη για τους μαθητές. Μερικά από αυτά τα κριτήρια είναι: η σύνδεση των παρεχόμενων γνώσεων με την καθημερινή ζωή (κοινωνία - τεχνολογία), η διαθεματικότητα και διεπιστημονικότητα της γνώσης, η συσχέτιση μεταξύ των μελετώμενων εννοιών, η χρηστικότητα της γνώσης - "need to know", η ύπαρξη συγκεκριμένου "πλαισίου" διδασκαλίας, αλλά και το να κατανοούν ουσιαστικά οι μαθητές γιατί πρέπει να μελετήσουν τη διδακτέα ύλη. Το δείγμα της έρευνας αποτελείται από τα βιβλία Χημείας μαθητή Γ΄ Γυμνασίου (ημερομηνία έκδοσης 2011) και Α΄ Λυκείου (ημερομηνία έκδοσης 2011). Στην παρούσα μελέτη επιλέχθηκε να γίνει ανάλυση και σύγκριση των δύο σχολικών εγχειριδίων βάσει των κριτηρίων της διεπιστημονικότητας και της σύνδεσης των παρεχόμενων γνώσεων με την καθημερινή ζωή. Καταρχάς, διερευνήθηκε αν τα ανωτέρω βιβλία πληρούν τα αναφερόμενα κριτήρια, και σε ποιο βαθμό, μέσω της καταγραφής και κατηγοριοποίησης σχετικών με τα αναφερόμενα κριτήρια στοιχείων που περιλαμβάνονται στα μελετώμενα εγχειρίδια όπως κεφαλαίων, ενοτήτων, φράσεων, λέξεων, εικόνων, ερωτήσεων, ασκήσεων κλπ. Επιχειρήθηκε ακόμη η σύγκριση μεταξύ των δύο διδακτικών βιβλίων Χημείας Γ' Γυμνασίου και Α' Λυκείου, με σκοπό να διερευνηθεί αν υπερτερεί κάποιο εγχειρίδιο μιας από τις δύο βαθμίδες, ως προς την πλήρωση των τιθέμενων κριτηρίων, με στόχο να αναδειχθεί η ύπαρξη ή όχι συνέχειας και συνοχής στην εκπαίδευση των μαθητών στο μάθημα της Χημείας. Η σημασία της παρούσας έρευνας είναι εμφανής αν ληφθεί υπόψη το γεγονός πως τα αποτελέσματα της ανάλυσης αυτής θα μπορούσαν να παρέχουν κατευθύνσεις στον εκπαιδευτικό σχεδιασμό και τον καθορισμό της ύλης των σχολικών μαθημάτων Χημείας αλλά και να βοηθήσουν τους εκπαιδευτικούς στην επιλογή του κατάλληλου εκπαιδευτικού υλικού και την οργάνωση της διδασκαλίας. Επιπρόσθετα η μελέτη αυτή θα μπορούσε να χρησιμοποιηθεί για να αναδειχθούν μέθοδοι, διαδικασίες και τρόποι για την προσέλκυση του ενδιαφέροντος των μαθητών και τη βελτίωση της κατανόησης του μαθήματος της Χημείας. / This study aims to analyze the content of school Chemistry books taught in the High School in Greece. Initially, given the literature and corresponding curricula detected some criteria according to which the teaching and learning of chemistry becomes more efficient, effective and useful for students. Some of these criteria are: the supplied knowledge to everyday life (society - technology), the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary knowledge, the correlation between the studied concepts, usability of knowledge - "need to know", the existence of specific "frame" of teaching, but also students to understand why should study the curriculum. The sample consists of third High school class Chemistry student books (date 2011) and first of Lyceum (date 2011). This study analyzed and compared the two student books based on the criteria of interdisciplinarity and the connection of the provided knowledge to everyday life. First, we investigated whether the above books meet the listed criteria, and to what extent, through mapping and classifying with the listed criteria items included in planned books as chapters, sections, phrases, words, pictures, questions, exercises, etc. Even attempted a comparison between the two teaching Chemistry books third class of high school and firt class of Lyceum, in order to investigate whether outweighs one of the books in criteria in order to demonstrate the existence or not of continuity and consistency in the chemistry education of students. The importance of this research is evident considering the fact that the results of this analysis could provide guidance on educational planning and determining the matter of school chemistry courses and this study could assist teachers in choosing the appropriate educational material and organizing teaching. Additionally, the study could be used to highlight methods, procedures and ways to attract the interest of students and to improve understanding of chemistry.

Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva hur personer med Multipel skleros (MS) upplever att sjukdomen påverkar deras dagliga liv. Metoden var en beskrivande litteraturstudie. Arton vetenskapliga artiklar av kvalitativ och kvantitativ karaktär analyserades. Databaserna Medline via PubMed och Cinahl användes vid sökningen av artiklar. Huvudresultatet i denna studie visade att personer med MS upplevde att deras sjukdom och dess symtom hade en stor påverkan på det dagliga livet. Dessutom framgick det att de upplevde sin hälsa och livskvalitet som sämre än den övriga befolkningen. Förekomsten av symtom som påverkade det dagliga livet var väldigt varierande och unikt för varje enskild individ. De symtom som var vanligast förekommande och som påverkade livskvaliteten var fatigue, smärta, nedsatt rörlighet, kognitiva förändringar, sociala förändringar, samlevnads- och inkontinensproblem. Den slutsats som framkom var att ett flertal symtom var vanligt förekommande och alla sågs påverka personens välbefinnande negativt. / The aim of this study was to describe how people suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS) feel that the disease affects their daily lives. The method was a descriptive literature study. Eighteen scientific articles, both qualitative and quantitative, were analyzed. The articles were found by using Medline by PubMed and Cinahl. The main finding of this study is that MS persons feel that their illness and its symptoms have a major impact on their daily lives. Moreover, it appears that they perceive their general health and quality of life to be worse than that of the general population. The presence of symptoms that affect their daily lives is very varied and unique to each individual. The most common symptoms, which affected the quality of life, was fatigue, pain, reduced mobility, cognitive changes, social changes, sexual problems and incontinence. The conclusion of the study was that a number of symptoms were common, and that they all had a negative effect on the well-being.

Pagrindiis baigiamojo darbo tikslas buvo išsiaiškinti ar emocijų ir intelekto valdymas kasdienybėje glaudžiai sisijęs su menininko veiklos rezultatais. Emocijos daro didžiulę įtaką menininkui. Patiriami jausmai kasdienybėje sužadina įkvėpimą ir skatina kurti. Jos prisideda prie idėjų generavimo, mąstymo ir vaizduotės. Vykstant tolesnėms kūrybinio darbo fazėms, pirminis-jausminis impulsas išgaruoja. Jo neužtenka pirminim sumanymui įgyvendinti. Bloga nuotaika, buitis slopina norą kurti. Tokiais atvejais menininką gelbsti savo jausmų atpažinimas, jų valdymas, kūrybingos aplinkos susikūrimas, bei asmeninės kūrėjo savybės. Visi kolekcijos „Emocijos ir kasdienybė“ darbai vertikalūs, atspaudai vienodų matmenų 30,5x47,5 cm. Atspaudams naudotas baltas, nefaktūrinis vatmano popieriaus lakštas 45x64 cm. Atlikimo technika – mišri.Atspaudai vienetiniai ir skirtingi, turinys savo pavadinimus. Vyrauja dinamiska, kintanti nuotaika. Kompozicija daugiausiai centrinė, sudaryta iš monochrominių dėmių, kurias papildo skaidrus, švelnus fonas, spalvinės kaligrafijos bei dėmių sintezė. Tinkami eksplotuoti nedidelese visuomeninese ar privačiose erdvėse, kur būtų galimybė žiūrovui prieiti ir iš arti psižiūrėti. / The main purpose of the work was to get clear did control of emotions and intellect in daily life closely linked to outcome of activity an artist. Emotions do huge influence to an artist. Emotions which are experienced in daily life awake inspiration and stimulate to create. Its have part in generation of ideas, thought and imagination. An initial-emotional impulse goes away in process of further stages of creative work. It doesn't enough the impulse to implement an initial idea. Bad mood, routine supresses a wish to create. An artist is saved by recognition of his emotions, their control, making of an creative atmosphere and characteristics of a creator at these cases. All works of the collection „Emotions and Daily Life“ are vertical, prints are one dimension 30,5x47,5 cm. To do the prints was used a white none-facture paper sheet 45x64 cm. The technique of the accomplishment is composite. The prints unique and divers have the own names. A dinamic, changeable tone dominate. The main design in most cases is centric made out of monochromatic blurs whose are complemented by clear, light background, coloured calligraphy's and blurs synthesis. The works are proper to demonstrate at small public or private spaces, where people could get a close view.

Boendestöd är en framgångsfaktor i arbetet med att stötta utsatta grupper med att klara ett eget boende inte minst för missbrukare. Det här är en jämförande studie baserad på intervjuer med sex boendestödjare som arbetar med missbrukare och sex boendestödjare som arbetar med psykiskt funktionshindrade. Syftet är att undersöka boendestödjarnas uppfattningar om sitt arbete och deras upplevelser av vad arbetet innehåller. Varför är det vanligt med olika organisationer för missbruk och psykiskt funktionshinder? Vad är det som rättfärdigar indelningen i de två grupperna och vad blir konsekvenserna för brukarna och för de professionella som arbetar med boendestöd för grupperna? Resultatet är analyserat med tidigare forskning kring boende och stöd, forskning om professioner framväxt och teorier om socialkonstruktivism. Resultatet visar att kategoriseringen kan ha med vilket fokus boendestödet får och att boendestöd för missbrukare inriktas mot att missbrukaren skall klara sitt eget boende utan att vräkas. Dessutom finns det ett indirekt tvång inbyggt i boendestödet för missbrukare vilket inte återfinns i arbetet med de psykiskt funktionshindrade. Avslutningsvis är det möjligt att peka på att indelningen medför betydande konsekvenser för missbrukarna i jämförelse med övriga psykiskt funktionshindrade även om grunden för beslutet kring kategoriseringen är osäker. / Daily life support is a key success factor in efforts to support vulnerable groups in managing their own living and this is certainly true for addicts. This is a comparative study based on interviews with six daily supporters who work with addicts and six daily supporters who are working with mentally disabled clients. The purpose is to examine their experiences and their perceptions of what the work contains. What justifies the separation of the two groups and what are the consequences for the clients and for the professionals who work with daily life support for the two groups? The result is analyzed with earlier research in the area of daily life support, research concerning the development of professions and theories of social constructivism. The result shows that the categorization may has to do with the focus of the work with living support and that the daily living support for addicts often is directed towards the addicts ability to manage their own accommodation without risking the tenants to be evicted. In addition, the categorization implicates for addicts in terms of the existence of an indirect constraint embedded in the work of daily life support for addicts which is not found in the work of the mentally ill clients. Finally, it is possible to point to a significant difference in terms of consequences for the addicts in relation to the mentally ill group even if the base for the decision of categorization may be uncertain.

Peterson, Park, and Seligman (2005) have proposed that individuals seek to increase their well-being through three behavioural orientations; via pleasure, meaning, and engagement. The current study investigated how orientations to happiness influenced the pursuit and experience of daily activities using an experience sampling methodology (ESM). Daily activities were experienced as a blend of both hedonic and eudaimonic characteristics. Dominant orientation to happiness did not predict engaging in different daily activities. Trait orientations to happiness had some influence on the momentary experience of behaviour. Those scoring highest on all three orientations to happiness also rated their daily activities highest on momentary pleasure, meaning, engagement, and happiness. The results suggest that increasing all three orientations is a pathway to the full life and a balanced well-being portfolio.
