Bakgrund Basal kroppskännedom (BK) används idag inom fysioterapin som behandlingsmetod för att öka kroppsmedvetenhet bland patienter. Det råder brist på solid kunskap om BK som behandlingsform samt fysioterapeuters erfarenheter kring hur interventionen används.  Syfte Att undersöka fysioterapeuters uppfattningar och erfarenheter av metoden BK och hur de använder sig av BK i sin kliniska vardag.   Metod Studie är av kvalitativ design. Fem fysioterapeuter intervjuades genom enskilda semistrukturerade intervjuer. Kvalitativ innehållsanalys användes för bearbetning av data. Resultat Utifrån insamlade data identifierades tre huvudkategorier: (1) Patienter som har svårt att vara i sin kropp gynnas av metoden, (2) fysioterapeuten och patienten gör övningarna tillsammans och (3) ökad medvetenhet om sambandet mellan kropp och sinne.  Konklusion: Studiens resultat visar att fysioterapeuterna uppfattar att metoden BK används för i princip alla tillstånd men är särskilt gynnsam för personer som lider av psykisk ohälsa och långvarig smärta. Fysioterapeuterna anser att det krävs mycket av både patienten och fysioterapeuten vid denna metod och att den därför skiljer sig från andra behandlingsmetoder. Målet med behandlingen är att skapa en balans mellan kropp och sinne. Fysioterapeuterna använder BK i huvudsakligen för att de har goda kliniska erfarenheter från metoden. / Background Basic body awareness therapy (BBAT) is used today in physiotherapy as a treatment method to increase body awareness among patients. There is a lack of solid knowledge about BBAT as a form of treatment and physiotherapists' experiences of how the intervention is used. Purpose Physiotherapist understandings and experiences with BBAT and how they use it in their clinical practices. Method The study is of a qualitative design. Five physiotherapists were interviewed separately. Qualitative content analysis was used for analyzing the data. Results Based on the collected data, three main categories were identified: (1) Patients who have difficulty being in their body benefit from the method, (2) The physiotherapist and the patient do the exercises together and (3) Increased awareness of the connection between body and mind. Conclusion The results of the study showed that the physiotherapists perceived that the BBAT method is used for basically all conditions, but is particularly favorable for people suffering from mental illness and long-term pain. The physiotherapists believe that this method requires a lot from both the patient and the physiotherapist and that it therefore differs from other treatment methods. The goal of the treatment is to create a balance between body and mind. The physiotherapists use BBAT mainly because of their good clinical experience from the method.

The analysis was based on the Modern Portfolio Theory measures of performance. In addition, this research evaluated the relevance of the performance measures The sample with 21 funds was extracted from the 126 largest Brasilian stock options funds because they were the only with quotas on the whole period. The monthly mean rate of return and the following indexes were calculated: total return, mean monthly return, Jensen Index, Treynor Index, Sharpe Index, Sortino Index, Market Timing and the Mean Quadratic Error. The initial analysis showed that the funds in the sample had different objectives and limitations. To make valuable comparisons, the ANBID (National Association of Investment Banks) categories were used to classify the funds. The measured results were ranked. The positions of the funds on the rankings based on the mean monthly return and the indexes of Jensen, Treynor, Sortino and Sharpe were similar. All of the ten ACTIVE funds of this research were above the benchmark (IBOVESPA index) in the measures above. Based on the CAPM, the managers of these funds got superior performance because they might have compiled the available information in a superior way. The six funds belonging to the ANBID classification of INDEXED got the first six positions in the ranking based on the Mean Quadratic Error. None of the researched funds have shown market timing skills to move the beta of their portfolios in the right direction to take the benefit of the market movements, at the significance level of 5%. / Esta pesquisa analisou a qualidade da gestão dos fundos de ações brasileiros através da análise do desempenho obtido por eles no período de janeiro de 1997 a outubro de 2006. A análise foi feita com base na Teoria Moderna das Carteiras. Ela analisou também a aplicação dos critérios de desempenho na medida do desempenho deles. A amostra de 21 fundos foi selecionada do universo composto pelos 126 maiores fundos de aços Brasileiros. Os seguintes critérios de desempenho foram calculados a partir das cotas mensais dos fundos: retorno absoluto, retorno Médio Mensal, Índice de Jensen, Índice de Treynor, Índice de Sharpe, Índice de Sortino, capacidade de prever os movimentos do mercad (Market Timing) e o Erro Quadrático Médio. A análise dos dados começou com a classificação dos fundos de acordo com os tipos ANBID, pois os objetivos e as limitações dos fundos da amostra não eram homogêneos. Posteriormente, os resultados obtidos nas medições de desempenho foram ordenados em rankings e analisados. Dez dos 21 fundos da amostra, todos ativos, tiveram desempenho superior ao mercado (representado pelo IBOVESPA) nos critérios do retorno médio mensal e nos Índices de Jensen, Treynor, Sortino e Sharpe. De acordo com o CAPM, esses gestores devem ter compilado as informações disponíveis de uma forma superior, e por isso, conseguiram um desempenho superior ao mercado. Os seis fundos da categoria IBOVESPA INDEXADO ficaram com as seis primeiras posições na calcificação pelo Erro Quadrático Médio, o que já era esperado, pois a missão desses fundos é reproduzir o retorno do índice. Nenhum dos gestores dos 21 fundos demonstrou ter capacidade de prever o movimento do mercado (Market Timing), ao nível de significância de 5%, e movimentar o beta de sua carteira na direção correta a fim de maximizar o retorno do investidor.
