Behandlingsklimat & behandlingssammanbrott på en LVU-institution : Behandlingsklimat & behandlingssammanbrott på en LVU-institution / Treatment environment and dropouts in juvenile institutional care : A qualitative study of staff members perception

Hansson, Joakim, Johannesson, Gustav January 2012 (has links)
Denna studie belyser sex stycken behandlingsassistenter, verksamma på en LVU-institutions uppfattningar om vad ett behandlingsklimat utgörs av, vad ett behandlingssammanbrott är samt om ett behandlingsklimat kan minska behandlingssammanbrotten. Behandlingssammanbrott är av stort intresse då det lagts fram att ett sammanbrott kan leda till sämre prognos för ett behandlingsresultat.Studien har ett interaktionistiskt synsätt som teoretisk utgångspunkt. Empirin har samlats in med intervjuer av sex stycken behandlingsassistenter.Syftet med studien är att få fördjupad kunskap om några behandlares kunskap och erfarenhet av behandlingsklimatet vid institutionsvård av unga. Studien belyser även behandlingsklimat i relation till behandlingssammanbrott.Resultatet vad gäller behandlingsklimatet visar att de intervjuade ser resurser som en stark faktor för behandlingsklimatet, samt att säkerhet och trygghet är grundläggande. Resultatet har även visat att det kan finnas två sidor av ett behandlingssammanbrott.

A study of Investments from Taiwan on PRC¡¦s Medical Institutions.

Lin, Shih-huan 03 July 2008 (has links)
Since the ¡mThe Interim Measures for Administration of Chinese-foreign Joint Venture and Cooperative Medical Institutions¡ncame effective in year 2000, several Taiwanese firms invested their capital in, which became the pioneers of investing in PRC¡¦s medical markets. Given the distinctive characteristics only possessed by medical organizations, combined with PRC¡¦s medical environments, policies and conditions are far different from those of Taiwan¡¦s, investing in PRC would pose as a unique challenge. This thesis discusses medical environments and competitions with policy, industry and competition points of view in order to serve as a reference to medical firms willing to invest there. This research applies qualitative methods, focusing on the specialty and meanings of data. This study served interviewing experts and gathering secondary data (books, newspapers, periodicals, theses and dissertations, websites and governmental publications) as the foundation and concludes with suggestions for current/potential investors. This study has discovered that Taiwanese firms which also invest in PRC were not entered there due to financial reasons, other factors are relatively dominant. Several ambiguous rules regarding cooperation between two firms lay in current regulations, which may pose as a major threat to Taiwanese firms. In addition to a higher public-to-private medical firm ratio, local governments¡¦ fiscal conditions ¡V which are related with public hospitals ¡V made things worse for private firms to live. Human resources employed by Taiwanese medical firms, on the other hand, are generally sourced from local regions. Yet major differences lay between the methods of training medical professionals and the ratio between doctors and nurses. In addition, salaries of the professionals are relatively low in PRC, thus kick-backs are generally accepted as a ¡§normal income¡¨ to them. These differences are challenges for the Taiwanese firms to operate there. In this research, one could discover that medical environments in PRC are complicated and filled with risks. Firms must truly understand the objectives and capacities of their own when considering investing in the industry there. Locations are as well important in assuring the firm's success.

Social Absorption Capability, National System of Innovation and Manufactured Export response to Preferential Trade Incentives

Na-Allah, A, Muchie, M 13 April 2010 (has links)
Abstract In many extant analyses of the impact of non-reciprocal system of trade preferences it is typical to focus on the details of market access value of tariff concessions as explanation for why export of beneficiaries’ products may or may not respond to incentives. Very often the role that supply-related factors can and do play in the process is relegated to the background. This paper argues that the social absorption capability of a beneficiary’s economy as expressed in her incumbent National System of Innovation is a crucial determinant of export performance response. The experience of sub-Sahara African countries under the US African Growth and Opportunity Act apparel trade incentive is used as a classical illustration of this proposition. It is shown that the comparative efficiency of Lesotho, despite emerging from a relatively weak performance potential background, in recording the highest level of export success among beneficiaries of the scheme is a function of the relative efficiency of her system of innovation in garment.

Madness Apparatus: Gender Politics, Art and the Asylum in Fin-de-Siècle Italy

Pazzaglia, Nicoletta 14 January 2015 (has links)
My dissertation focuses on literary and photographic representations of female madness as a means of exposing the material violence that notions of normality and of national identity produced in Italian society during the fin-de-siècle. Although many studies explore the exclusion of minorities in the project of nation-making, the mentally ill have rarely been discussed. Those studies that focus on literary representations of madness usually treat it as a metaphor or literary expedient and leave unexplored the material violence that psychiatric institutions inflicted on the mentally ill body. I aim to connect cultural realities and their representations, exploring the ways in which psychiatric and state power constructed and used the mentally ill body in the quest to create national identity. This quest was rooted in the widespread image of Italians as effeminate southerners from a backward, pre-modern part of Europe, an image that led to a crisis of masculinity. In my study I consider the crisis of masculinity vis-à-vis practices of asexualization of the body conducted inside the asylum. Through a parallel analysis of psychiatric photography and literary representations of female madness in Giovanni Verga, Luigi Capuana, Gabriele D'Annunzio, and Futurist avant-garde writers, my study shows how these practices actively contributed to social constructions of madness. Chapter I is an introduction to the development of modern psychiatry vis-à-vis the project of national identity formation in post-unification Italy. Chapter II analyzes first literary representations of female madness and psychiatric portraits of female patients to argue that the asexualization of patients' bodies was used to offer an ontological weight to national manhood. Chapter III explores the phenomenon of hysteria to show how the body of the hysterical woman functioned as apparatus used to produce normalization. Chapter IV examines how the futurist avant-garde overturned the madness apparatus at the beginning of the twentieth century. The conclusion I draw is that the mentally ill body functioned as an abjected or excluded other whose alterity was key to the construction of Italian identity.

The early history of Blythswood Missionary Institution

Rodger, Alastair January 1977 (has links)
The Mfengu, or Fingos, of the Transkei were a mixed group of refugees. Originally driven from Natal during the Mfecane, they moved into the Transkei and then the Ciskei. In the 1860's some were allowed by the Cape government to settle in an area in the Western Transkei which it had recently seized. The majority of those who moved were opposed to mission work and education. When therefore the government agent for Fingoland, Captain Blyth, and a Free Church of Scotland missionary, Richard Ross, gained the support of a few headmen for an educational Institution in the Transkei, and approached Dr James Stewart of Lovedale to found such an Institution on the lines of Lovedale, they had very slender support. Mfengu subscribe £10.00 towards the cost. Stewart agreed on condition the support for this somewhat startling and, to some, unpalatable request was gained mainly because it was known that the government intended introducing a hut tax which would be far more onerous than the levy which, it was estimated, would be required to find the sum Stewart was asking. Blyth was able to use the agreement to a voluntary levy for an institution to persuade the government to postpone the tax. The Institution was built on a larger scale than had been planned, for the Mfengu made two subscriptions, each larger than the total requested, and Stewart raised money in Scotland.

Why Is This Wave Different From All Other Waves? Jewish Miami: The Changing Face of Institutional Interaction in Three Phases

Siegel, Ariella 17 July 2012 (has links)
This thesis presents an historical overview of the immigration/migration process that led to the institutional establishment of a vibrant Jewish community in Miami, Florida. By doing so, this thesis suggests three distinct, yet interconnected waves of immigration/migration: the first wave was from the 1920s until the 1950s and was comprised primarily of Northeastern Jewish migrants; the second wave was from the 1960s until the 1970s and was comprised of Cuban-Jewish immigrants; and the third wave began in the 1970s and continues until today, and is comprised of the Latin American Jewish immigrants. These waves are studied by considering (1) the demographics of each individual wave and the corresponding reasons for migration to Miami; (2) which institutions were established within each wave and the motivation for their establishment; and (3) the different dynamic each immigrant/migrant cohort had with the institutions in the Jewish community. It also explores institutional evolution within each wave and connects the waves together to reveal a multi-faceted construction of the Jewish community of Miami as it is today.
