Socialstyrelsens brukarundersökning visar att äldre som bor på särskilt boende är mest missnöjda med de aktiviteter och den sociala samvaron som verksamheten erbjuder. Äldreomsorgen bygger på den nationella värdegrunden som innefattar att den äldre ska få leva ett värdigt liv och känna välbefinnande, men det är inte klart hur denna värdegrund påverkar personalens arbetssätt eller de sociala aktiviteter som erbjuds. Vår studie angriper denna fråga. Fem särskilda boenden var representerade både från kommunala och privata vårdgivare i två olika kommuner. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med de särskilda boendes enhetschefer, som sedan transkriberades och tematiskt analyserades. Vårt resultat tyder på att den nationella värdegrunden inom äldreomsorgen tolkas olika på alla de särskilda boendena. Alla enhetschefer la stor vikt på personcentrerad vård, men trots det så erbjöd man liknade sociala aktiviteter ofta då som gruppaktivitet. Resultaten diskuterar vi med hänvisning till Aktivitetsteorin och Gerotranscendenceteorin. / Research shows that many nursing home residents are disappointed with their level of social interaction and activity. Care of older people is argued to be underpinned by national core values such as supporting dignity and well-being, but it is not clear how such values influence nursing home staff practices or the social activities provided. Our study addressed this question. Five nursing homes, representing both private and public care providers, were sampled from two different municipalities. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with the homes’ respective heads of unit, transcribed, and thematically analysed. Our results indicate that the national values for care of older people were interpreted uniquely within each home. All heads of units emphasised the importance of person-centred care, yet similar social activities were offered by all homes, with a focus on group activities. We discuss our results with reference to activity theory and gerotranscendence.

Com a contínua propagação dos dispositivos móveis, uma área editorial pode estar sujeita a ficar defasada e não seguir os avanços da tecnologia – os catálogos de museus, que foram sempre uma categoria distinta de publicação. Neste momento um crescente número de instituições procura tirar partido da revolução dos dispositivos móveis, já que os usuários estão cada vez mais em sintonia com o que a tecnologia pode oferecer. Já não é suficiente publicar imagens de um objeto, o que gera um desafio para a instituição – como preservar a sua identidade tirando partido desta nova tecnologia? Em um tempo em que está se tornando cada vez mais fácil a auto-publicação no mundo digital, como testemunhado pelo conteúdo das redes sociais, a ascensão dos e-books e a descentralização de conteúdo, quais elementos se aplicam especificamente aos aplicativos de museus neste espaço? Este trabalho apresenta uma seleção de sugestões apontadas aos aplicativos para que possam aproveitar as tecnologias emergentes e ir além das versões impressas, sem perder o contato com o artista, o espaço e a instituição. / As the spread of mobile devices continues, one area of publishing risks being left behind the technology. Museum catalogues have always been a distinct category of publishing, and were slow to be successfully and widely shifted to a digital format. Now, a growing number of institutions are looking to take advantage of the mobile revolution, the mobile user is also becoming more attuned to what their technology can offer. Simply rendering a publication or object in two-dimensional digital format is no longer sufficient throwing a challenge to the institution – how to preserve their identity and character. In a time when it is becoming easier and easier to self-publish into the digital realm; as witnessed by social content, the rise of the e-book and the decentralization of content, what elements concern specifically to museum catalogues in this space? This work presents a selection suggestions applicable specifically to museum catalogues so they can leverage the emerging technologies and go beyond the printed versions, without losing touch with the artist, the exhibition and the institution. Furthermore, there is an indication of the best multimedia elements that can be added to these catalogues in order to aggregate content and extend the visitor experience.

>Magister Scientiae - MSc / Technology plays a big role in our lives. However, many do not have access to technology and the knowledge it provides, giving rise to the so-called digital divide. The purpose of this study is to explore and understand the impact of digital storytelling for social innovation, considering the digital landscape of South Africa. For example, it is important to consider what types of technologies have worked and are still working to capture stories. Furthermore, to consider what skills the end-users would require to use the system and what devices would be best suited for them—PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone—and what software would be required to capture their stories. Finally, access to Wi-Fi or the Internet would need to be economically viable. Despite the vast research that has been done on digital storytelling, not much has been done in terms of its impact on social innovation and how a digital platform should be designed to enrich social innovation and creativity.

This thesis focuses on the area of competitive intelligence with the emphasis on new possibilities and opportunities in relation to modern social networks. First it gives general analysis of the current state of competitive intelligence market as a whole and then deals with individual major leaders and their products, thus providing detailed overview of this business segment. It also discusses the possibilities of using social networks and other social or soft sources for competitive intelligence. Practical part of the thesis then demonstrates the theoretical knowledge on a real life CI project, which took place in early 2012 in cooperation with experts from IBM, including some interesting results and findings in appendix. The whole chapter can be used as a reference model for future projects with similar goals.

<p> Den här uppsatsen är resultatet av en kvalitativ studie med syftet att granska, analysera och diskutera förutsättningarna för livskvalitet på särskilda boenden för äldre, ett eftersatt forskningsområde år 2009. De frågor som jag ville besvara var vilka tillvägagångssätt som användes för att skapa livskvalitet samt hur det arbetet kunde förstås ur ett individperspektiv. Utgångspunkten var en filosofisk livskvalitetsteori med objektiva dimensioner. Jag valde att vända mig till särskilda boenden med somatisk inriktning och metoden som användes var semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex enhetschefer inom äldreomsorgen i tre utvalda kommuner. Resultatet visade, bland annat, att de flesta av boendena arbetade aktivt med att förbättra det sociala innehållet, mycket tack vare regeringens stimulansbidrag. Främst var det gemensamma aktiviteter som kunde erbjudas. Andra områden var mer eftersatta. Resultatet visade även att förutsättningarna på särskilda boenden riskerar att inbjuda till en passivisering av individen och en uppluckring av identiteten. Det var tydligt hur personalens inställning och kunskaper samt andra resurser kunde förhindra det.</p>

<p>U radu je razmatrana mogućnost efikasnijeg<br />osposobljavanja učenika da razumeju složene<br />dru&scaron;tvene odnose i razviju delatne socijalne<br />ve&scaron;tine. Akcenat je na udžbenicima razredne<br />nastave koji integri&scaron;u dru&scaron;tvene sadržaje.<br />Zagovaraju se modeli kojima se dru&scaron;tveni<br />sadržaji u udžbeniku prirode i dru&scaron;tva oblikuju<br />kombinacijom ekspozitornog i induktivnog<br />izlaganja, uz recepciono-estetički, egzemplarnoparadigmatski,<br />problemsko-otkrivajući i<br />multimedijalno-vi&scaron;eizvorni pristup.<br />Cilj empirijskog dela bio je da se utvrdi da li, i u<br />kojoj meri udžbenik učestvuje u usvajanju<br />dru&scaron;tvenih znanja, razvijanju socijalnih ve&scaron;tina,<br />stavova i vrednosti savremenog sveta. Izneta je<br />pregledna analiza prisutnosti i načina izlaganja<br />dru&scaron;tvenih sadržaja u udžbenicima razredne<br />nastave od 1945. do 2012. godine, utvrđeni su<br />stavovi nastavnika o uspe&scaron;nosti njihove<br />prezentacije u udžbeniku koji se koristi, i<br />sagledana su mi&scaron;ljenja učenika u pogledu<br />usvajanja dru&scaron;tvenih sadržaja iz udžbenika<br />prirode i dru&scaron;tva. Rezultatima istraživanja<br />konstatovano je da udžbenik razredne nastave<br />nije prevazi&scaron;ao tradicionalni koncept, i da je<br />ekspozitorno izlaganje informacija u gotovom<br />vidu jo&scaron; uvek opredeljujući način kojim se<br />predstavljaju dru&scaron;tveni sadržaji. Zaključuje se da je za efikasnije usvajanje i razvijanje<br />dru&scaron;tvenih znanja, ve&scaron;tina i vrednosti potrebna<br />metodička transformacija načina kojima se oni<br />prezentuju u udžbeniku; zbog čega su<br />recepciono-estetički, egzemplarnoparadigmatski,<br />problemsko-otkrivajući i<br />multimedijalno-vi&scaron;eizvorni model predloženi<br />kao adekvatna praktična re&scaron;enja u savremenom<br />udžbeniku prirode i dru&scaron;tva.</p> / <p>This paper discusses the possibility of more<br />effective training of students to understand the<br />complex social relationships and develop social<br />responsibility operative skills. The emphasis is<br />on class teaching textbooks in which social<br />content is integrated. This paper suggests<br />models in which the social contents in the<br />textbook of nature and society are modeled as a<br />combination of inductive and expository<br />presentation, and the receptive-aesthetic,<br />exemplary-paradigmatic, problem-solving and<br />multimedia-multiple sources accessing. The aim<br />of the empirical part was to determine whether,<br />and to what degree textbooks participate in the<br />development of social skills, learning behavior<br />and values of the modern world. An overview<br />analysis of presence and the mode of<br />presentation of social content in the textbooks<br />of class teaching from 1945 until 2012 is<br />presented. Teachers&#39; attitudes about the<br />effectiveness of their presentation in the<br />textbooks being used were identified, and<br />students&rsquo; opinions regarding the adoption of the<br />social nature of the content of textbooks were<br />perceived. The results of the research concluded<br />that the textbooks of class teaching has not overcome the traditional concept, and the<br />expository presentation of information in the<br />form of cash yet decisive manner that the<br />present social content. It is concluded that the<br />effective development of social knowledge,<br />skills and values requires methodical<br />transformation of the mode of presentation of<br />content, having receptive-aesthetic, exemplaryparadigmatic,<br />problem-discovering and<br />multimedia-multiple sources model proposed as<br />adequate practical solutions to contemporary<br />textbook of nature and society.</p>
