Män har också ätstörningar : En kvalitativ studie om vårdpersonalens upplevelser av varför män i mindre utsträckning söker vård för ätstörningar. / Men Also Have Eating Disorders : A Qualitative Study on Healthcare Professionals Perceptions of Why Men Seek Treatment for Eating Disorders Less Frequently.Johansson, Tilde, Eek, Wilma January 2024 (has links)
The aim of this study was to examine healthcare professionals perspective on why men are less likely to seek healthcare for eating disorders. The study seeks to understand and highlight the potential challenges men face when seeking healthcare for these conditions. To address this issue, the following three questions were posed: What social factors contribute to the low proportion of men seeking healthcare for eating disorders? How are men affected by gender-specific norms and expectations when they seek healthcare for eating disorders? What difficulties do healthcare professionals experience in treating men with eating disorders? The study included healthcare professionals working in eating disorder teams across various regions of the country. The empirical data comprised ten interviews, which were analyzed using thematic analysis. The theoretical frameworks used in the analysis were social constructivism, gender theory, hegemonic masculinity theory and stigma. The results of this study indicate significant challenges in encouraging men to seek healthcare for eating disorders. Based on these findings, we claim that increasing awareness and communication, as well as challenging existing stereotypes and norms, can enhance the effectiveness and supportiveness of healthcare for men with eating disorders. A lack of experiences among healthcare professionals also emerged as a significant barrier to effectively treating men with eating disorders.

Reasons for nonparticipation in sport by black learners at secondary school levelMchunu, Sanelisiwe Jean Audrey 30 June 2008 (has links)
This study was aimed at finding reasons for nonparticipation in sport by black learners at secondary school level. It was carried out with a group of grade 9 to 12 learners who do not participate in sport at secondary schools in black townships. A nonparticipation in sport at secondary school level questionnaire was developed to measure the most important reasons for nonparticipation. Among the reasons learners cited were lack of sport facilities, political factors, social factors and factors related to self-image. Social circumstances were found to be intimately linked and overlapping with political circumstances. For learners coming from impoverished backgrounds, sport comes a very poor second.
Based on the results of the study, a number of recommendations were made for education managers and sport administrators. Contributions of the study were highlighted and suggestions for further research made. / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Guidance and Counselling)

Political and social factors related to secondary school pupils' attitude towards schoolMashile, Elias Oupa, 1963- 04 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this investigation was to determine sociopoli
tical factors related to students' attitude towards school.
A questionnaire was compiled based on the literature study and
was completed by 306 students doing standards eight, nine and ten
at a secondary school in Benoni.
Five socio-political factors were identified, namely: school
experience, extrinsic motivation, pedagogical deprivation,
political socialisation and school administration.
The empirical study revealed:
* A positive attitude towards school by the research group.
* Significant correlations between attitude towards school
and the five independent variables.
* No significant difference in attitude towards
school of: boys and girls, standard eight, nine and ten
students and students staying with parents or with
guardians.
* The maximum variance in attitude towards school
explained by a combination of variables is 43.2%.
Recommendations are made for the enrichment of the family and
school environments and areas of possible future research
postulated. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Psychology of Education)

A multidisciplinary risk assessment of dental restorative materials.Tillberg, Anders January 2008 (has links)
Amalgam has been used as a dental restorative material for centuries, but its potential health effects and biopersistance has lead to a decreased use especially in the Nordic countries. New materials have been introduced, partly to replace the mercury containing amalgam and partly because of esthetical reasons. The possible health effects of amalgam have been studied extensively and the material has been replaced with other less well-examined materials during the last few decades. The prevalence of side effects of dental materials is considered to be low in relation to the vast number of dental treatments undertaken. With the introduction of new and more complex materials, side effects related to dental treatment may increase. Epidemiological data suggest that the side effects of dental resins that have almost completely replaced amalgam fillings in Scandinavia, possess a risk for adverse reactions; however, the causal relation has not been fully established. Therefore, the type and extent of side effects caused by resin-based materials are of great interest. The aims of the study were: - to describe the change in health over time for patients with problems related to their dental materials. The hypothesis was that the patients could be divided into subgroups based on their symptoms and that the ability to recover differs between these groups [Paper I]. Furthermore, to determine whether factors such as the replacement of dental restorative materials and follow-up time had any impact on the perceived health. - to assess the long-term development of symptoms and their social consequences among patients referred for diagnosis and treatment of symptoms related to dental materials [Paper II] - to investigate the possible risks with dental restorative materials other than amalgam [Paper III]. - to describe side effects assessed to be caused by resin-based materials that occurred in a group of patients as well as treatment and long-term consequences of the reactions [Paper IV]. A questionnaire was sent to 614 patients [Paper I and II] that had been referred to the School of Dentistry, Umeå, Sweden, with symptoms allegedly caused by dental materials. The questionnaire contained questions on, among others; civil status, present health, medical and dental treatment and other measures and precautions taken because of psychosocial problems related to current employment situation, feelings, self-image and coping behavior. Moreover, information was collected [Paper III] from the Swedish Dental Materials Register 2003 (DentMr), a compilation of MSDS for 487 materials, and information from the user guide of the materials. The Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) included in the DentMR were examined regarding the given composition of the products, the occurrence of CAS-numbers and the risk- and safety phrases of the substances. Information was collected [Paper IV] on 36 patients with reactions to resin-based restorative materials from the Swedish National Register of Side-Effects of Dental Materials. Patients with complex symptoms had a more unfavorable long-term prognosis concerning persistent complaints than those with local symptoms only. Furthermore, the results indicate that the patients might experience health improvements after removal of their dental restorative materials. However, the reason for this improvement was unclear. Replacement of dental restorative materials had no significant impact on the ability to recover completely. Our results also indicate a relationship between patients’ self-related health and social consequences in daily life. Those with remaining complex symptoms had more often stopped working or had decreased their work hours because of their symptoms The information about hazards with dental materials seems insufficiently described in MSDS and there might be materials with side effects unknown to both patients and dental professionals. A literature search indicated that some of the listed substances had possible hazards, e.g. substances with embryotoxic and neurotoxic potential. The patients were very heterogeneous; a few with only local symptom free reactions while other had more complex symptoms. The latter group would gain from a multidisciplinary approach, i.e. dental, medical, as well as social and psychological factors have to be considered when developing care management programs for this group of patients. Furthermore, there is a need for stronger regulations of dental materials, such as those applied to pharmaceutical drugs. Finally, it was found that the majority of symptoms suspected to be caused by resin-based materials were local or a combination of local and extra-oral symptoms that appeared within the first 24 hours after treatment. The most frequent adverse effect reported was skin problems/dermatitis. It appears as though immediate reactions to resin based materials are not uncommon and more prevalent than allergic reactions. Still, we have had, difficulties in verifying associations between the dental restorative materials and adverse reactions and also to identify the offending component.

Benägenheten att ge pengar till tiggande EU-migranter jämfört med etablerade välgörenhetsorganisationer : En empirisk forskningsstudie utförd i Linköpings stad / The propensity to give money to begging EU migrants compared to established charity : An empirical research study conducted in Linkoping cityCollryd, Mattias, Lindau, Isabelle January 2015 (has links)
Antalet hemlösa EU-migranter har på senare år ökat kraftigt i Sverige, och närmare hälften av dem saknar inkomstkälla helt medan många andra försörjer sig genom tiggeri. Numera måste individer förutom att ta ställning till huruvida de ska ge pengar till etablerade välgörenhetsorganisationer även besluta om de ska ge pengar till tiggande EU-migranter. Utifrån antagandet att det existerar asymmetrisk information, och institutionella faktorer som kan påverka individers givande till respektive typ av välgörenhet är det intressant att undersöka om det finns skillnader i benägenheten att ge till tiggande EU-migranter jämfört med etablerade välgörenhetsorganisationer.Forskningsstudiens huvudsakliga syfte är att undersöka benägenheten hos individer att ge pengar till tiggande EU-migranter jämfört med etablerade välgörenhetsorganisationer. Vidare är syftet också att identifiera och analysera olika individspecifika egenskaper som tänkbart påverkar individers givande till respektive typ av välgörenhet. För att besvara syftet samlas primärdata in i Linköpings stad genom en enkätundersökning och analyseras sedan med hjälp av ekonometriska verktyg.Forskningsstudiens resultat indikerar att individer generellt är mindre benägna att ge pengar till tiggande EU-migranter jämfört med etablerade välgörenhetsorganisationer. De egenskaper som har betydelse för att förklara individers givande till tiggande EU-migranter är kön, ålder, härkomst, kunskap om tiggande EU-migranters livssituation och inställning till lagförslag att förbjuda tiggeri. I jämförelse till detta har ålder, utbildning, härkomst, äktenskap och sociala faktorer betydelse för att förklara givandet till etablerade välgörenhetsorganisationer. / In recent years, the number of homeless EU migrants has increased substantially in Sweden, and almost half of them lack an income whereas many others live by begging. Nowadays, individuals in addition to decide whether to give money to established charities also have to decide whether to give money to begging EU migrants. Based on the assumption that asymmetric information and institutional factors exists, which can affect each type of willingness to donate to charity, it is interesting to investigate whether there are differences in propensity to give money to begging EU migrants compared to established charities.The purpose of the research study is to examine individual’s propensity to give money to begging EU migrants compared to established charities. Furthermore, the aim is also to identify and analyze various individual characteristics that conceivably affect individuals' donation to each type of charity. To answer the purpose of the research study primary data is collected in Linkoping city by a questionnaire and the material is analyzed with econometric models.The results of the study indicate that individuals generally are less likely to give money to begging EU migrants compared with established charities. Variables that affect individuals' willingness to give money to begging EU migrants are gender, age, descent, knowledge of begging EU migrants living situation and attitude towards banning begging. Compared to this, factors that affect the willingness to donate to established charities are age, education, descent, married and social factors.

Struktura a výzkum mimoškolních vlivů na rozvoj hudebnosti dítěte / Structure and Research of Out-Of-School Influences on the Musical Development of the ChildLohniská, Martina January 2015 (has links)
The Diploma Thesis deals with the matters of children's musicality and the main factors influencing it. The thesis includes a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part focuses on the musicality issue and its structure, as well as on the factors that participate in this matter. Special attention is put to the out-of-school influences on the development of musicality. There is an outline of the influence of a family and its members, characteristics of a contemporary family and a present-day lifestyle. The thesis also deals with a social group influence and the impact of mass media, such as television, computers and the Internet. One of the subchapters is dedicated to the out-of-school artistic interests of children; another one deals with how music around us can act in a form of commercials, or in a store, for example. The practical part of this thesis is formed through a research oriented to the out-of-school influences mentioned above. This research was held at Libčická Primary School, Prague. The research included a questionnaire; the next step was a musical ability test, which later served to the elaboration of case studies of selected children. Comparing the results of the questionnaire with the individual children performances in the musicality test, the thesis highlights the...

Attityder, byråkrati och meningsskapande i samband med AI i sjukvården : En kvalitativ undersökningAldin, Andreas, Larsson, Victor January 2021 (has links)
This thesis explores attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence within the Swedish Public healthcare system. The goal of the study was to attain a deeper understanding of how hospitals and healthcare officials perceive and think about the technology and what it means to them in their professional life. Our primary data was collected from ten interviews conducted with decision-makers at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm and Akademiska University Hospital in Uppsala. The material was analysed through a discourse analysis, through which four themes were identified, each of which describes a notable attitude among the respondents and how they were manifested. The results show that earlier organizational structures and approaches are more important to the organization members’ sense-making process, than the sense-making process of new technological innovations and implementation. Decision-makers' attitudes towards AI have less to do with the technology itself and more with how they perceive their organizations and what it means to perform healthcare. Furthermore, the results also show that pre-set notions and attitudes about how healthcare should be conducted affects implementation and use of AI in the healthcare sector. This thesis contributes by highlighting a social perspective of AI in healthcare and demonstrates that AI is more than just a technological phenomenon. / Denna uppsats undersöker attityder gentemot artificiell intelligens (AI) inom svensk sjukvård. Syftet med studien var att förstå hur beslutsfattare inom sjukvården uppfattar AI och vilka attityder de har gentemot teknologin. Vår primärdata samlades genom tio intervjuer med beslutsfattare på Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset i Stockholm och Akademiska Universitetssjukhuset i Uppsala. Materialet analyserades genom en diskursanalys som ledde fram till fyra olika teman där vardera tema beskriver en framträdande attityd hos respondenterna och hur dessa manifesteras. Resultatet visar att tidigare satta organisatoriska strukturer och förhållningssätt ger större mening för medlemmarna än vad nya teknologiska innovationer och implementeringar gör. Beslutsfattares attityder gentemot AI har mindre att göra med själva teknologin och mer med hur de uppfattar organisationen och vad det betyder att bedriva sjukvård. Därutöver visar resultatet att förinlärda idéer och attityder om hur sjukvård bör bedrivas, påverkar implementering och användning av AI inom vården. Denna uppsats bidrar med att belysa ett socialt perspektiv av AI i sjukvården och visar att det kan vara något mer än enbart ett tekniskt fenomen.
