The new Swedish Armed Forces will be radically different from the previous invasion-oriented defence and the Armed Forces will be a smaller and more flexible organization, better adapted to the international sphere. With the aim of meeting up with the demands of the transformed Armed Forces posture for professional competence, the Regular Officer Programme (YOP) was introduced in the autumn of 1999. This dissertation aims at attempting to illustrate, address the problems and investigate to what degree the basic officer training of the Regular Officer Programme (Swedish: YOP) and the professional competence of newlygraduated Second Lieutenants can be seen as being legitimate within the scope of professional practices of the Swedish Armed Forces, and how this legitimacy can be described and understood. The theoretical framework of the dissertation is comprised of a sociocultural perspective and institutional theory. The five central concepts of the dissertation are: professional practice, institutional rules, professional competence, learning and legitimacy. The empirical elements of the dissertation were collected during 2001 and 2002 and comprise data from six part-studies. The informants were officer cadets after their first year of the Basic Officer Training Programme (YOP) and officers up to the rank of general. The methods for collecting data have been in the form of a questionnaire study, focus group conversations at thirteen military units, three document studies and a study with questions via e-mail. The questionnaire study was processed by using the computer programme SAS. The focus group conversations, the document studies and the answers via e-mail to questions were analyzed and put into categories contents wise according to the sentence category principle in positive and negative statements, respectively, in relation to YOP and the professional competence of the newly-graduated Second Lieutenants. Results show that both YOP as well as the professional competence of the newly-graduated Second Lieutenants cannot be regarded as being fully legitimate among the informants or within the all the professional practices of the Armed Forces.

No percurso profissional dessa pesquisadora surgiram inquietações e questionamentos acerca de sua atuação como fonoaudióloga educacional, principalmente a partir de sua inserção na Secretaria de Educação de São Bernardo do Campo. A inserção de fonoaudiólogas na rede municipal de ensino de São Bernardo do Campo ocorre desde 1970, nas diversas modalidades de ensino e sofreu alterações em suas práticas e referenciais, apontando para a importância de estudos como aqui proposto, uma vez que a maioria dos relatos acerca da Fonoaudiologia Educacional refere-se a profissionais inseridas no sistema de Saúde. Objetivo: Analisar o percurso da inserção e da prática da Fonoaudiologia Educacional na rede municipal de ensino de São Bernardo do Campo (SP). Sujeitos e Método: Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, aprovada pelo CEP da FCM/UNICAMP sob número 537/2010. Foram realizados três grupos focais, em 2010, com fonoaudiólogas da educação especial, educação infantil e ensino fundamental. Os sujeitos preencheram uma ficha com informação sobre o tempo de formação, tempo de trabalho na Secretaria de Educação de São Bernardo do Campo e experiência na Educação. Foram estabelecidas as seguintes categorias de análise a) formação e capacitação; b) ações e abrangência da Fonoaudiologia Educacional; c) dificuldades e facilidades na prática da Fonoaudiologia Educacional e d) embasamento teórico. Resultados: Os sujeitos referem que sua atuação foi influenciada pela apropriação de conteúdos acerca das questões sociais de nosso país, da Educação, pelo processo histórico da inclusão educacional e pelo trabalho em equipe multidisciplinar. Observaram-se diferenças entre a atuação das profissionais do ensino comum e da educação especial. A principal dificuldade desse grupo foi romper com as expectativas por uma atuação baseada nos moldes higienistas e de atuação clínica no contexto escolar. A linguagem foi considerada como fator constitutivo do ser humano embasando toda e qualquer intervenção no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Conclusão: Os resultados demonstram que atuar no sistema público de Educação requereu a apropriação de vários conteúdos. A inserção das fonoaudiólogas do ensino comum, na Secretaria de Educação, propiciou atuação em diferentes níveis do sistema de ensino. Observa-se que a amplitude e abrangência da experiência das fonoaudiólogas da rede municipal de ensino de São Bernardo do Campo evidencia que a atuação exercida dentro do sistema de Educação, caracteriza-se como um importante campo de atuação e inserção da Fonoaudiologia. Os achados mostram uma mudança de paradigma em que é necessário ao fonoaudiólogo, para além de sua atuação no sistema de Saúde, se relacionar com as políticas públicas de Educação de nosso país, visando o acesso, permanência, a melhoria da qualidade do ensino e o sucesso da aprendizagem de todos os alunos / Abstract: Introduction: This research intends to study the role of Speech and Language Pathologist (SLP) services on educational settings. This professional, in Brazil, has built his practice based on the historical and social contexts of the profession and Brazilian Education. This researcher has had many concerns and questions about her practice as a speech pathologist on school contexts, especially when she started working at São Bernardo do Campo Municipal Educational Department which has had SLP services since the 1970 decade. The experience of these professionals has occurred on different levels of municipal educational system and has suffered changes on its practice and theoretical references, which points out to the importance of this study since great part of the literature is about professionals who belong to municipal health system. Objective: to analyze the insertion route and practice of SLP services at São Bernardo do Campo Municipal Educational Department. Subjects and Method: This is a qualitative research, approved by CEP from FCM/UNICAMP, number 537/2010. Data collection was done using the focus group technique, in 2010. There were three focus groups composed by SLP from especial, kindergarten and elementary education. The subjects filled out a form about graduation period, working time at São Bernardo do Campo Educational Department and educational experience. The following categories have been established: a) graduation and further studies b) actions and scope of SLP services; c) difficulties and facilities of their experience and d) theoretical concepts. Results: Subjects stated that their practice was influenced by the knowledge about Brazilian social problems, Education, the historical process of educational inclusion and multidisciplinary team work. It was observed differences between the practice of ordinary and especial education SLP. Breaking off the institution's expectations of a practice based on hygienic patterns and of a clinical work at school context were their great difficulties. Language was considered a significant factor for the human being constitution and therefore should ground any intervention made at the school learning process. Conclusion: The results showed that working at Educational Public System required appropriation of several contents. SLP practice at Educational Department of São Bernardo do Campo resulted in their insertion in different levels of the municipal educational system. The extent and scope of their experience points out that SLP services provided inside the educational system, can be characterized as an important working area and insertion for speech and language science. The results have indicated a change in paradigm which SLP should be inserted on educational public policies beyond their practice at public health, aiming the access, permanence, educational quality improvement and learning success of all students / Mestrado / Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação / Mestre em Saúde, Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação

Architects are increasingly sought after for their abilities to be creative, knowledgeable, and strategic. Excessive concentration on "product" rather than "process" of architecture is challenging the architect's status as a professional. 20th century Information Technology has brought growing competition, shorter timeframes, and an increasingly knowledgeable client, which present challenges to the profession. Can IT be used effectively to manage all stakeholder relationships and how has it impacted the process of "service delivery"? An inability to effectively serve clients may result in potential loss of repeat business, paucity of new clients by referrals, and lack of projects, which directly impacts finances and an overall loss for the firm?s practice. The object of this thesis has been to study the effect of strategic IT deployment on client-architect relationship, in meeting client expectations and the identification of means by which architects can gain competitive advantage in today?s highly demanding market. IT and CRM are envisioned as enablers of a firm's sustainable competitive advantage.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of professional practice by the registered nurses midwives as reflected in clinical nursing care records for postlaparotomy patients in public central hospitals in Malawi. The set process standards by Nurses and Midwives Council of Malawi (NMCM) were addressed in relation to clinical care of post-laparotomy patients. The hypothesis for this study was that the quality of professional practice by the registered nurse midwives as reflected in clinical nursing care of post-laparotomy patients in public central hospitals in Malawi is inadequate and non-compliant with the process standards set by the NMCM. The researcher used quantitative, evaluative, descriptive, contextual survey and participatory observations to collect data. A three-point rating scale consisting of compliance (C) = 1, partial compliance (PC) = 0.5 and non-compliance (NC) = 0.0 was used to evaluate the state registered nurse midwives’ compliance with process standards. The results showed partial compliance with the set NMCM process standards by the state registered nurse midwives in public central hospitals in Malawi. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

Bakgrunn: Røyking blir fortsatt betraktet som den viktigste forebyggbare årsak til død i ge land. Praktiserende leger er nøkkelpersoner innen tobakksforebygging. Enkel rådgiving, som minimal intervensjon, gitt av allmennleger øker andelen røykfrie pasienter signifikant. Kan en oppsøkende intervensjon gjennomført av en likemann være en egnet metode for å få leger til å ta opp tobakksbruk oftere og på en bedre måte, og kan denne undersøkelsen påvise dette? Hensikt: Hensikten med denne studien er: 1) Vurdere om primærlegene i Agder har endret praksis i perioden 2001-2004 med hensyn til hvor ofte og hvordan de tar opp tobakksbruk med sine pasienter og eventuelle hindringer for dette. 2) Undersøke om oppsøkende intervensjon er en egnet metode for å få leger til å endre praksis ved at de bidrar mer og bedre med individuell røykeintervensjon. Metode: Randomisert kontrollert studie for å undersøke om oppsøkende intervensjon er en egnet metode for å få leger til å endre praksis. Denne studien er sett i lys av en sammenliknende analyse av legenes røykeintervensjon og hindringer for dette i perioden 2001-2004. Resultat: Allmennlegene i Agder har endret praksis i perioden 2001 til 2004. Legene tar oftere opp tobakksbruk uten av pasientene har røykerelaterte symptomer, og det er færre hindringer både for å spørre om røykevaner og for å tilby hjelp til røykeslutt. Studien kan ikke bekrefte at oppsøkende intervensjonen er en egnet metode for å få leger til endre praksis ved at de bidrar mer og bedre med individuell røykeintervensjon. Konklusjon: I perioden 2001-2004 har det vært en signifikant endring i legenes røykeintervensjon og hindringer for dette. Studien kan ikke påvise at legene som fikk opplæringen ”Røykeslutt i praksis” bidrar mer med individuell røykeintervensjon enn kontrollgruppen, og det er heller ikke signifikante forkjeller på hindringer for en slik intervensjon / Background: Cigarette smoking is still considered the leading preventable cause of death in the western world. Physicians constitutes a key personnel in tobacco prevention. Brief advising, such as minimal intervention, performed by general practitioners, GPs, increases the number of smoke free patients significantly. The potential effect of outreach visits performed by a peer educator is a question to be studied. Objective: The objective of this study is: 1) Assesswhether the primary physicians in Agder, during the period 2001 to 2004, have changed their professional practice as tohow often and in which way they discuss smoking habits with their patients and possible barriers to stop them. 2) The study also seeks to determine whether outreach visits constitute an effective method to make GPs change their professional practice by contributing more and better to individual smoking cessation. Method: Randomised controlled study to determine whether outreach visits constitute an effective method to make GPs change their practice. This study is also viewed in the light of a comparative analysis of doctors’ attitude to tobacco prevention over the period 2001-2004. Result: During the period 2001-2004 the GPs in Agder have changed their professional practice. They discuss more frequently tobacco use with patients without smoke-related symptoms, and there are fewer barriers that keep them from asking about smoking habits and from offering assistance with smoking cessation. The effect of outreach visits in improving professional practice cannot be ascertained through this study. Conclusion: During the period 2001-2004 there has been a significant change in the GPs intervention work and fewer barriers to stop them. The GPs who received training through the program “Røykeslutt i praksis” do not contribute to individual smoke intervention any more than the control group. We were unable to detect any significant differences regarding barriers to such intervention / <p>ISBN 91-7997-153-9</p>
