This study examines the personal migration preferences of Utah high school seniors in 1980 and their relationship to perceived parental preferences, family status, length of residence, religion, sex, and type of residence. A focal area of the thesis is an examination of the consistency between personal preferences and preferences of parents as perceived by the youth. The primary data used for this study came from a sample survey of 1980 high school seniors who were selected using a stratified sampling technique. Cross-tabulations were used with chi square to test for significance of association. The results of this study suggest that parental preferences play an important part in influencing the decision-making process of youth contemplating migration. The research suggests that the plans of metropolitan youth are more consistent with the perceived preferences of their parents than are those of nonmetropolitan youth. The research also suggests that the plans of LDS (Mormon) youth are more consistent with their parents perceived preference as compared to the plans of non-LDS youth. With respect to personal preferences, Utah youth living in nonmetropolitan areas prefer to migrate more often than metropolitan youth. Research also shows that males, LDS youth, youth from intact families and long-term residents all prefer to stay more often in their present place of residence when compared to females, non-LDS youth, youth from broken families and short-term residents.

Darbo tikslas – nustatyti formalaus ir neformalaus priverstinio hospitalizavimo į psichiatrijos stacionarą paplitimą, priverstinai hospitalizuojamų pacientų klinikinį profilį, prievartos stiprumą įtakojančius veiksnius ir priverstinio hospitalizavimo objektyvias baigtis. Darbas vykdytas registruojant priverstinius hospitalizavimus, tyrimo instrumentais apklausiant formaliai priverstinai ir savo noru hospitalizuotus pacientus bei naudojant perspektyvųjį tyrimo metodą iš medicininės dokumentacijos įvertinant rehospitalizavimo rodiklius. Buvo nustatytas 23–39 105 gyventojų per metus formalių priverstinių hospitalizavimų rodiklis Vilniaus miesto psichikos sveikatos centro aptarnaujamoje teritorijoje 2003–2005 m. Iš visų savo noru hospitalizuotų pacientų 17 procentų jautė prievartą hospitalizavimo metu, t. y. buvo neformaliai priverstinai hospitalizuoti. Formaliai priverstinai hospitalizuotų ir neformaliai priverstinai hospitalizuotų pacientų dauguma socialinių demografinių, psichopatologijos, gyvenimo kokybės bei gydymo charakteristikų buvo panašios, tačiau formaliai priverstinai hospitalizuoti pacientai jaučia stipresnę prievartą, pasižymi dažnesne agresija, mažiau patenkinti gydymu nei neformaliai priverstinai hospitalizuoti pacientai. Hospitalizavimo metu jaučiamos prievartos stiprumas buvo labiausiai susijęs su verbaline agresija. Tyrimo metu nustatyta, kad formaliai priverstinai ir neformaliai priverstinai hospitalizuoti pacientai, palyginus su savo noru hospitalizuotais ir...

Assessment of the prevalence of formal involuntary hospitalisation was carried out. Socio-demographic and clinical data of formally and informally involuntarily hospitalised were collected from medical records and patient interviews. Medical documentation was used to measure the duration of the studied hospitalisation and the following indicators of re-hospitalisations within 3 years after discharge from the studied hospitalisation: the presence of at least one rehospitalisation, the number of re-hospitalisations and time to rehospitalisation. The established indicator of involuntary hospitalisations per 105 residents per year in period concerned was from 23.0 to 39.5. 17 per cent of voluntary patients perceived coercion during the process of hospitalization. The majority of the socio-demographic, psychopathology, quality of life and treatment characteristics of formally involuntarily hospitalised patients and informally involuntarily hospitalised patients are similar. Formally involuntarily hospitalised patients feel stronger coercion, more often display aggression and are less satisfied with treatment than informally involuntarily hospitalised patients. The degree of coercion felt during... [to full text]

Lyckad musikteoriundervisning – Elevperspektiv på lyckad undervisning i musikteori. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka elevers syn på undervisning i ämnet musikteori. Undersökningen visar vilka faktorer som elever tycker är viktigast för en lyckad undervisning. Anledningen till detta är att försöka få en bild av vilka faktorer elever prioriterar i ett ämne som många, enligt mig, upplever som svårt. Undersökningen är kvantitativ i form av en enkätundersökning som genomförts på en gymnasieskola i en mindre kommun i södra Sverige. Enkäten består av olika påståenden som eleverna har fått rangordna. De är konstruerade utifrån och baserade på generella principer som ligger till grund för en lyckad undervisning. Dessa principer är hämtade ifrån forskning inom området. Resultatet visar att eleverna prioriterar faktorer som berör läraren och lärarens egenskaper när det kommer till en lyckad undervisning. Resultatet tyder på att lärarens förmåga att kommunicera och utveckla undervisningen samt lärarens entusiasm blir betydelsefullt för elevernas undervisning. Påståenden som innefattar praktisk tillämpning och övning får inte lika hög prioritet. / Successful teaching in music theory – Pupils' perspectives on successful teaching in music theory. This paper aims to investigate pupils' views on teaching in music theory. What factors do pupils think are most important for a successful teaching situation? I want to get a picture of what pupils consider most important in a subject that many pupils, according to me, have a hard time with. The method of this paper is a quantitative survey answered by a small group of pupils at one Swedish upper secondary school in a smaller municipality. The survey present different factors related to teaching that pupils had to rank. These factors are constructed from a definition of successful teaching based on existing research on the field. The results show that pupils value the teacher and teacher qualities as most important for successful teaching. It also indicates that teachers enthusiasm and their ability to communicate and develop the teaching situation are considered important. Factors that involves applying the knowledge in a practical way are not considered as important as factors related to the teacher.

Identification of aggression in Junior Primary school learners often becomes a difficult task due to the lack of appropriate measuring instruments. The assessment instruments used presently are unable to identify the subtypes of aggression. In order to address this limitation in the field of aggression, the present investigation was undertaken. A literature study was done where the concept aggression was defined and the relationship and differences between the subtypes of aggression (physical, verbal, reactive and proactive aggression) were examined. The factors that relate to aggression, namely, biological, personality, environmental and social, parental influence, frustration and media influences were identified. A reliable measuring instrument was developed to identify the four main subtypes of aggression in junior primary learners. The results of the empirical investigation indicated that there were significant positive correlations between the subtypes of aggression. Gender and intellectual potential do not appear to have a significant bearing on childhood aggression. The educational implications of the findings are discussed and guidelines regarding treatment of childhood aggression are given for both educators and parents. / Education Studies / M.Ed.
