O racismo e a discriminação racial são fenômenos enraizados à realidade brasileira, com vários aspectos, os quais não podem ser ignorados ou negligenciados. A perspectiva afetiva, ligada a dimensão dos valores, sentimentos e pensamentos associados em uma situação de racismo são aspectos explorados neste trabalho, utilizando a Teoria de Modelos Organizadores do Pensamento. Os participantes da pesquisa foram alunos de escolas estaduais da capital do estado. O principal instrumento de coleta consistiu de uma situação-problema narrativa em duas versões, desenvolvidas a partir de pesquisa piloto realizada anteriormente com jovens sobre a temática racial. Foram apresentadas as versões do conflito, para dois grupos de trinta jovens, cada uma das versões acompanhada por um grupo de cinco perguntas respondidas após a leitura do conflito. O principal objetivo da pesquisa foi identificar os Modelos Organizadores do Pensamento construídos pelos participantes ao analisarem um conflito racial. Não foram estabelecidas categorias a priori, tendo em vista o resultado da pesquisa não ser previsível. A primeira das questões pós leitura do conflito arguia os sujeitos sobre o que pensou da situação. As outras questões investigavam que sentimentos tiveram o agressor/ vítima durante do incidente, o que faria o respondente se fosse colega dos dois envolvidos e, por fim, o que faria se estivesse no lugar de Arnaldo, o Professor. Com estas perguntas buscamos extrair os elementos abstraídos e retidos como significativos, os significados e relações e / ou implicações entre eles. Com isso chegamos a extração de seis modelos. No modelo 1, pacificação, as respostas agrupadas tiveram como implicação entre elementos abstraídos e significados atribuídos a reflexão sobre a inadequação do preconceito, com base no valor humano ou com base na legalidade. No modelo 2, agressão e revolta, a implicação entre os elementos abstraídos e significados atribuídos foi punir o agressor por seu comportamento preconceituoso. No modelo 3, frustração, a implicação entre os elementos abstraídos e significados atribuídos foi agressividade ou passividade, no caso do agressor e auto-punição no caso da vítima. No modelo 4, superioridade, a implicação entre os elementos abstraídos e significados atribuídos foi o sentimento de superioridade como mote para a atitude do agressor. No modelo 5, conflito de valores, a implicação entre os elementos abstraídos e significados atribuídos foi o conflito entre o valor respeito a propriedade e o valor respeito a pessoa. No modelo 6, Restrição de avanços sociais, a implicação entre os elementos abstraídos e significados atribuídos foi a de o preconceito ser um impedimento de progressos no sentido de uma sociedade da paz, melhor para todos. Esses achados nos permitiram melhor vislumbrar os afetos envolvidos em um conflito racial, que tem efeito não apenas sobre os jovens negros, mas também sobre os brancos, que constroem sua identidade a sobre égide da branquitude/negritude. / Racism and racial discrimination are rooted phenomena to the Brazilian reality, with multiple aspects, which cannot be ignored or neglected. The affective perspective, linked to values, feelings and thoughts associated with a situation of racism dimension are aspects explored in this work by using the Theory of Organizing Models of Thought. The Survey participants were students of state schools in the state capital. The main collection instrument consisted of a problem situation narrative in two versions, developed from previously conducted pilot study with young people about racial themes. Versions of the conflict were presented to two group of thirty young people, each version accompanied by a group of five questions to answer after reading the conflict. The main objective of the research was identify the feelings/thoughts that emerge from the speeches of adolescents in resolving a racial conflict and subsequently identify the Organizers Models of Thought were applied when they analyze the conflict. Not a priori categories have been established, in view of the search result could not be anticipated. The first issue questioned what the subject thought about the situation, i.e. a position on the conflict. The other questions were the following content - feelings that had the first and second characters before the incident, what would do if a colleague of the two involved and what room would if you were in place of Arnaldo, the teacher. With these questions, we seek to extract the elements abstracted and retained as significant, their meanings and relationships and / or implications between them, reaching the extraction of several models before each instrument. So far, we have identified six models. In model 1, peacemaking, grouped answers has the implication between the abstracted elements and meanings attributed to reflection on the inadequacy of prejudice either based on human value or based on the law. In model 2, aggression and anger, the implication between the abstracted elements and meanings was punishing the offender for his biased behavior. In model 3, frustration, the implication between the abstracted elements and meanings was aggression or passivity, where the abuser and self-punishment if the victim. In model 4, superiority, the implication between the abstracted elements and assigned meanings was the feeling of superiority as a motto for the attitude of the offender. In model 5, conflict of values, the implication between the abstracted elements and meanings was the conflict between the value about the property and the value about the person. In model 6, Restraining social advances, the implication between the abstracted elements and assigned meanings was that prejudice be an impediment to progress towards a society of peace, the better for everyone. These findings have allowed us to better glimpse the affections involved in a racial conflict, which has an effect not only on young blacks, but also about the whites, who build their identity on the aegis of whiteness/blackness.

Cette thèse en sciences de l’éducation s’intéresse aux ressorts visibles et/ou invisibles mis en œuvre dans les interactions entre adolescents et adultes, au sein d’institutions qui constituent une alternative à l’incarcération (C.E.R., C.E.F.). Ce travail de recherche ethnographique ambitionne de traduire la façon dont des jeunes en souffrance, via des pratiques « contrebandières », parviennent à mettre en mots leurs actes. Les modes d’échanges, officiels ou à la marge du cadre contraint, irriguent les interactions et permettent de reconnaître des adolescents stigmatisés dans des identités autres que celles leur étant assignées. Notre problématique s’articule donc autour des pratiques du don et de la réciprocité, qui autorisent/favorisent des formes d’alliances, transcendent le principe d'éducabilité et permettent l'émergence d’un sujet adolescent en milieu éducatif contraint. Parce que ces institutions totales contraignent dans un espace-temps performatif, des adultes-encadrant à mobiliser des modalités opératoires d’ajustement, elles favorisent le partage d’émotions. Les expériences partagées permettent ainsi de transcender la figure de l’individu à risques en autorisant l’émergence d’un sujet empathique. / This PhD in educational sciences focuses on visible and/or invisible Springs implemented in interactions between adolescents and adults, within institutions that are an alternative to incarceration. This ethnographic research work aims to translate the way dont de les jeunes en souffrance, via des pratiques «contrebandières», parviennent à mettre en mots leurs actes youth suffering through 'smugglers' practices, are able to put into words their actions. Exchanges, official modes or at the margin of the forced setting, irrigate interactions and identify adolescents stigmatized in other than them being assigned identities. Our problem thus revolves around the gift and reciprocity, practices that allow / promote forms of alliances, transcend the principle of educability, and allow the emergence of a teenager in forced education topic.ecause these institutions total forcing in a space-time performative, adults-framing to mobilize operating ways of adjustment, they promote the sharing of emotions. Shared experiences helps to transcend the figure of the individual at risk by allowing the emergence of an empathetic topic.

This study aims to understand if colors in Instagram pictures causes emotions in users. The methods involved in this study included a survey where respondents were presented with questions asking them how certain colors made them feel and users were also presented with pictures with varying color undertones and asked which picture made them feel a specific emotion. This study may provide indications for further research and advertising and public relations techniques using social media, specifically Instagram and utilizing colors within Instagram pictures.

Cette thèse est née d’un questionnement sur le corps de l’acteur en scène au regard des normes, insufflé par le séminaire de Jean-Jacques Courtine sur «L’histoire du corps anormal». Cette focalisation sur le corps en scène réactive ma passion pour un théâtre où les acteurs, désignés comme singuliers, ne sortent pas des grandes écoles de théâtre ou de danse. Ces spectacles, de plus en plus visibles, présentent le corps dans sa réalité et non plus son idéalité. Ces corps charnels ont un impact sur les spectateurs. Que dit ce théâtre des corps sur le corps aujourd’hui ? A quel besoin répond-il ? La partie I, en cherchant à nommer ces acteurs et ces spectacles, interroge des notions (normal/anormal/hors-normes, ordinaire/extra-ordinaire, handicap/handicapé, art/art-Thérapie, professionnel/amateur, …) et des normes corporelles en vigueur aujourd’hui, normes de l’acteur et de sa représentation. La partie II analyse des documents hétérogènes afin de cerner le ressenti de spectateurs face aux spectacles de l’Oiseau-Mouche (au fil de son histoire), de troupes et de metteurs en scène qui mettent leur corps en jeu. / This dissertation originates in a questioning of the body of the stage actor in relation to social norms, inspired by Jean-Jacques Courtine’s seminar on «the history of the abnormal body». This focus on the body on stage has revived my passion for a kind of theatre in which actors, perceived as singular, have not been trained in the main theatre or dance academies. These shows more and more conspicuously display the body as real rather than ideal. These bodies in flesh and blood have a powerful impact on spectators. What does this body theatre have to say on the current state of the body? What kind of need does it meet?The first part of this work tries to give these actors and these plays a name by questioning some of the categories (normal/abnormal/out of norms; ordinary/extra-ordinary; disability/disabled; art/art-therapy; professional/amateur, …), as well as the bodily norms of the actor and his/her representation in force to day. The second part analyses heterogeneous documents in order to grasp the perception of spectators when attending the Oiseau Mouche various plays (in the course of the company’s history), as well as those of companies’ and stage directors’ works in which the body is deeply involved.

Bakgrund: Palliativ vård innebär att vården är lindrande och inte botande, där fokus ligger på att främja livskvalitet ända in i döden. Den palliativa vården varierar i Sverige. Palliativ vård är ett stort ansvarsområde för distriktssköterskor anställda vid kommunal hemsjukvård. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva distriktssköterskors upplevelser av att vårda patienter i palliativt skede inom kommunal hemsjukvård. Metod: Studien hade en kvalitativ ansats med deskriptiv design. Data samlades in via semistrukturerade intervjuer, där tio distriktssköterskor från kommunal hemsjukvård med erfarenhet av palliativ vård i hemmet deltog. Materialet analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Huvudresultat: Distriktssköterskorna beskrev att de upplevde arbetet med den palliativa vården som utmanande men även som positivt och tillfredsställande. Att kunna göra skillnad, ha involverade anhöriga och ett specialiserat palliativt team angavs som de största fördelarna i den palliativa vården. Svårigheterna var bristande samarbete, eller när patientens anhöriga inte var införstådda med situationen. Distriktssköterskorna uppgav att de var nöjda med sitt sätt att hantera sina känslor, där de flesta sökte stöd hos kollegorna i första hand. Svårare känslor uppstod oftare vid vård av yngre patienter eller när barn var inblandade. Slutsatser: Distriktssköterskorna i föreliggande studie upplevde arbetet med patienter i palliativt skede som utmanade, utvecklande och känslosamt, men att det gav mycket tillbaka. Svårigheter som belystes var framförallt bristande samarbete och svårare känslohantering vid vård av yngre patienter eller när barn var inblandade. Studien kan leda till ökad förståelse hos olika yrkeskategorier som kommer i kontakt med patienter i palliativt skede samt belyser behovet av samarbete för att förbättra omvårdnaden av patienten. / Background: Palliative care means that the care is soothing and not curative, where the focus is on promoting quality of life, right into death. Palliative care varies in Sweden. Palliative care is a major area of ​​responsibility for district nurses employed in municipal home care. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to describe district nurses’ experiences of caring for patients in palliative stages in municipal home care. Method: The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews, ten district nurses from municipal home care with experience of home-based palliative care participated. The material was analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: The district nurses described that they experienced the work with palliative care as challenging, but also as positive and satisfactory. Being able to make a difference, having involved relatives and a specialized palliative team was stated as the biggest benefits in palliative care. The difficulties were the lack of co-operation, or if the patients’ relatives were not aware of the situation. The district nurses stated that they were satisfied with their way of dealing with their feelings and that most of them sought support from their colleagues in the first place. Often, more difficult emotions occurred when it came to the care of younger patients, or when children were involved. Conclusion: The district nurses in this study experienced the work with patients in palliative stages as challenging, developing and emotional, but it was very rewarding. Difficulties that were highlighted were, above all, a lack of co-operation and a more difficult emotional management when it came to caring for younger patients, or when children were involved. The study can lead to an increased understanding for different healthcare providers who come into contact with patients in palliative stages and it highlights the need for collaboration to be able to get improved patient care.

Thesis (M.A. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2008.

<p>“Fröknarna von Pahlen”, is a series of novels written by the author Agnes von Krusenstjerna. Especially the fourth and fifth parts, published in 1933, raised questions about sexuality, especially about what was conceived as perverse and provoking descriptions. “Fröknarna von Pahlen” became a part of heated debates about what is acceptable to write about. How can the so called Pahlen feud be understood from an intersectional perspective, and from a focus on values, and by discussing imagined communities? The purpose is to find out what is going on in these debates. Six different values are being pointed out; art and skill, truth, freedom of speech and freedom of the press, the value in the young, the value in female perspectives, and moral values. There is a number of knot points tied to these values, and differentiating processes such as sex, class, age, ethnicity, religion etc. are all intertwined in these debates. From an intersectional understanding, none of these processes are more primal than another. The knot points are both of an emotional nature and thematic. The individual voices that emerge in the feud are named small narratives, and the more intersubjective narratives are called grand narratives. These narratives are being investigated rhetorically; for instance how some stories can appear more as truths than others, and it is analyzed how they separate people in groups and create hierarchies. They are also being seen from an emotional perspective; how individual feelings are a part of emotions, larger contexts and meaning coherences. These feelings are also understood as actions. Throughout the investigation there is a hermeneutic will to make things intelligible, and respect and point out the many different perspectives. This is being made in a cultural relativistic attempt. By focusing on imagined communities, different comradeships and groups in the feud can be pointed out. People can consider themselves parts of these groups, but they can also, more or less involuntarily, be considered as parts of these groups. In the writers opinion, the most important question is how “extreme” sexual descriptions an author is allowed to bring forth.<em></em><em></em></p>

Furthermore to give a general view over research made on fear appeals. The research is made in a qualitative approach were the case study is used. Interviews were used to get relevant information from the chosen respondents. The results if the thesis indicates that there is a relation depending on individual experiences during the perception of a fear appeal message. Those who had considerable experiences from their past, expressed a reaction on the message bud did not act after the recommendation in the message. Those respondents who hadn’t any emotional experiences to relate too were mainly focused on the information in the message.</p>

Language brokers are children of immigrants who use their skills as bilinguals to interpret or translate for their family and/or community members. Although language brokering may begin in childhood or preadolescence, language brokering may continue until adulthood. While there are a small number of studies that have touched upon change over time, this study’s primary focus is on language brokers’ experiences relating to change over time. This was accomplished through semi-structured in depth retrospective interviews among Latina/o young adults attending small liberal arts colleges. Three aspects of language brokering were examined, the practice of language brokering, feeling towards language brokering, and family dynamics. Three new aspects of language brokering emerged, brokering for parent’s business, brokering for the community, and brokering technology. Siblings played the role of the language broker at different points in time and to different extents. Parents’ English language developed, and they were able to navigate some tasks due to their language development and their experience completing typical forms. Feelings of joy and frustration, in deed, coexist. Feelings towards language brokering also changed from embarrassment and nervousness to confidence and satisfaction. The patterns and experiences found in this study highlight the complexity and dynamic nature of language brokering.

This essay aims to investigate the perceptions of responsible personnel in a primary school about the use and importance of EQ, emotional intelligence, in the school's early years. With a hermeneutic approach and by qualitative interviews, we have taken note of the respondents perceptions about EQ. The result shows that EQ can be understood in different ways. Instead of having a common understanding of what EQ is the respondents mention that there are different areas associated with EQ.  Two major results are 1. The respondents who work in the lower age groups prefer to work with EQ regularly in scheduled lessons, but also integrated during the school day. 2. The respondents who work in the older age range (year 4) prefer only an integrated approach and considers that there may be perceived as artificially in the process of EQ, but that it should be about natural dilemmas from everyday life. The result also shows that the children have changed over time when the society has changed. Children are now, more than ever before, being admitted to the various media and use a lot of awake time to computer games and watching TV and film. As a consequence, today's school requires a higher degree of emotional and social skills. / Denna studie har till syfte att studera hur pedagogiskt ansvarig personal på en skola reflekterar kring betydelsen av och arbetet med EQ, emotionell intelligens, i skolans tidiga år. Med hjälp av en hermeneutiskt inspirerad forskningsansats och kvalitativa intervjuer har vi tagit del av respondenternas uppfattningar kring EQ. I resultatet framgår det att EQ kan uppfattas på olika sätt. Istället för att ha en gemensam uppfattning om vad EQ är menar de olika respondenterna att det finns olika områden som förknippas med EQ. De respondenter som arbetar i de yngre årskurserna föredrar att arbeta med EQ regelbundet på schemalagda lektioner, men också integrerat i verksamheten. Respondenterna som arbetar i de äldre åldrarna (årskurs 4) föredrar enbart ett integrerat arbetssätt och anser att det inte får upplevas som konstlat i arbetet med EQ, utan att det ska handla om naturliga dilemman ur vardagen. Resultatet belyser även att barnen har förändrats över tid i samband med att samhället har förändrats. Då barn nu i högre grad än tidigare blir upptagna av olika media och använder mycket vaken tid till dataspel, TV-tittande och film kräver dagens samhälle en högre grad av emotionell och social träning i skolan.
