Bakgrund: I Sverige är fotboll den idrott där flest personer skadar sig under idrottsutövning. Oavsett skada kan fotbollsspelaren behöva komma i kontakt med fysioterapeut för rehabilitering. Biopsykosociala faktorer är viktiga under rehabiliteringen då de kommer påverka individens möjlighet att återgå till fotboll. Det råder dock en oklarhet bland fysioterapeuter vad psykosociala interventioner innebär och hur de ska användas. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka rehabiliterade fotbollsspelares upplevelse av psykosociala faktorer av betydelse för återgång till fotboll, samt deras upplevelse av hur fysioterapeuter beaktat dessa psykosociala faktorer under rehabiliteringen. Metod: En deskriptiv kvalitativ design med induktiv och deduktiv ansats har använts för att svara på studiens syfte. Urvalet skedde genom ett ändamålsenligt urval. Kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes. Data analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Dataanalysen resulterade i sex kategorier som var av vikt för återgång till fotboll. Tre som berör psykologiska faktorer: negativa känslor, motivation och känna sig sedd. Tre som berör sociala faktorer: samhörighet med laget, förväntningar från familjen och stöd från tränare. Enligt fotbollsspelarnas upplevelser beaktade inte fysioterapeuterna psykosociala faktorer så mycket som fotbollsspelarna uppgav att de behövde. Slutsats: Psykosociala faktorer var av betydelse för spelarnas återgång till fotboll och upplevelsen kring hur fysioterapeuterna beaktade faktorerna påverkade rehabiliteringen. De spelare som hade ett behov av psykisk och social stöttning upplevde också att de saknade frågor om psykosociala faktorer från fysioterapeuten. Nyckelord: Fysioterapi, socialkognitiv teori, fotboll, psykiska faktorer, sociala faktorer. / Background: Soccer is the sport where most people injure themselves during sports in Sweden. Regardless of the injury, the soccer player may need to get in contact with a physiotherapist for rehabilitation. Biopsychosocial factors are important during rehabilitation as they will affect the individual's ability to return to sports. However, there is a lack of clarity among physiotherapists what psychosocial interventions means and how they should be used. Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate rehabilitated soccer players' experiences of psychosocial factors of importance for returning to soccer, as well as their experiences of how physiotherapists have taken these psychosocial factors into account during rehabilitation. Method: A descriptive qualitative design with an inductive and deductive approach has been used. A purposive sampling technique was applied. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted. The data was analyzed with qualitative content analysis.  Result: The data analysis resulted in six categories which were experienced as important for returning to soccer. Three involving psychological factors: negative emotions, motivation, and the feeling of being seen. Three involving social factors: affiliation with the team, expectations from the family and support from coaches. According to the soccer players experiences the physiotherapists did not take psychosocial factors into account as much as the soccer players stated that they needed. Conclusion: Psychosocial factors was of importance for the players return to soccer and the experience of how physiotherapists took the factors into account affected the rehabilitation. The players who had a need for psychological and social support also experienced that they lacked questions about psychosocial factors from the physiotherapist. Keywords: Physiotherapy, social cognitive theory, soccer, psychological factors, social factors.

The dissertation focuses on the different determinants of education, their effects on the educational outcome, and the overall effect of education on the lifetime consequences. The first chapter focuses on the inequality of educational opportunity across different demographic factors. This chapter employs a broader set of social factors to provide fresh insights into the inequality situation in the USA relative to those of the extant literature. The chapter employs polynomial trends for the effects of social factors to identify long-term trends in the determinants of the differences in attainment of each of four achievements (high school graduation, some college, college graduation, and post-college work) across different endogenous social groups. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) data for the years of 1968-2013, we show how inequality of educational opportunity and its determinants have evolved over the years. The chapter utilizes the machine-learning process and logistic regression model to identify inequality of opportunity. The second chapter examines the age demographic distribution of graduates across cohorts from 1940 until 1990. Using the PSID data, the paper explored the first and second moment of the age of graduating from high school and college across the US. To deal with the data deficiencies, a large part of the chapter dealt with data preparation. The chapter provides a unique method of extracting information on the graduating age of the individuals both from high school and from college. The results show a large dispersion across the full sample. The data truncated to a standard length, however, provides a much smaller dispersion and much smaller moments. The chapter concludes that as the time passes, people tend to attain education at a younger age. The third chapter investigates the trends of the contribution of different factors of income starting from 1910 cohort. Following Mincer (1974), a wave of papers studied how various factors contribute to the earnings of individuals. This paper contributes to that literature in three ways: (i) using the PSID data, it computes the actual working experience of the individuals, (ii) it studies the cohorts who were born in 1910 or afterwards, unlike the existing papers, and (iii) it adds two variables—technological progress and the occupation with which individuals start their careers—to an extended Mincerian equation. The results re-emphasize the importance of education in lifetime earnings. The results also show that while some of the determinants of income have become more important over the years, other factors have not changed much in importance. / PHD / The reason for choosing the theme ‘Evolution of the Determinants of Educational Attainment and its Consequences’ was to investigate the different determinants of education, their effects on the educational outcome, and the overall effect of education on the lifetime consequences. Education is considered as one of the tools to eradicate poverty. Yet, countries with high educational coverage keeps suffering from poverty, a reason for which is higher inequality of opportunity. In the first chapter, entitled ‘Inequality in Educational Opportunity in the United States’, opportunity inequality in education is illustrated. Much inequality stems from differences in educational attainment. A lack of educational attainment puts an individual behind in the career race, even before the race has started. While individuals are responsible for some of the differences in educational attainment, there are factors outside the control of individuals that play substantial roles. The inequality that arises from these factors is known as inequality of opportunity. This paper focuses on inequality of educational opportunity across socioeconomic background, race, and sex. The factors that are analyzed for their contributions to inequality of educational opportunity are father’s education, father’s occupation, mother’s education, and economic status of the individual’s family. The results show that inequality of opportunity has seen a consistent decline for high school completion. The inequality of opportunity (IO) declines for obtaining some college education for the bottom two social groups and remained persistent for the relatively more advantaged group. For college/post-college education, the IO is much lower and, in general, remained persistent across the social strata. Although the females were behind the males – given the equal opportunity – regardless of the race and socioeconomic status during the beginning and the mid twentieth century, the scenario reversed in the late twentieth century. In terms of educational disparity among races, African Americans trail their White counterparts along all the years. The second chapter ‘First and Second Moments of the Age Distributions of Graduates’ looks into the age characteristics (mean and variance) in graduating from high school and college across the cohorts from 1940s to 1990s. The idea of the paper largely came from the first chapter of the dissertation as we assumed the lack of opportunity at the earlier age could delay the attainment of education. The paper intends to find out the average age of graduation over the years. In the process, the paper put forward a method to extract the information of age of graduation from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) data, as the database does not readily avail the information. The chapter concludes that as the time passes, people tend to attain education at a much younger age. Titled as ‘Factors Affecting Income: Education, Experience, and Beyond’, the third chapter investigates the contribution of different factors – education, experience, parental endowments, and labor market conditions – in the returns to education using the PSID data and compare the more recent scenarios with the past. This paper focuses on the trend of the rate of return to different factors of income across the two cohorts – those born between 1910 and 1950, and those born after 1950 – while identifying the changes in the returns for the same education level over time. The paper aims to find out how the contribution of the different factors of earning has changed in the USA over the years. The paper also intends to find out the role of technological progress in reducing the earning gaps across the different social groups. The results re-emphasize the importance of education in lifetime earnings. Experience has become a more important factor of income over the years. The chapter also suggests that income of an individual is a monotonic function of socioeconomic endowments and better endowments resulted in higher returns. Lastly, the chapter finds that the technological investment is progressive in manner.

This study using a quantitative, descriptive design with a questionnaire investigated cultural, religious and social factors that might impact on ARV treatment in HIV/AIDS-infected women in Botswana. The study found that the majority never missed any doses, a few missed doses once or twice, and a small minority missed more than three times. The respondents’ perception of cultural influence on treatment of HIV/AIDS in women revealed that the majority (70%) believe culture has an influence on the treatment. Social factors also impacted on ARV adherence. A few of the respondents indicated that side effects and the number of pills prevented ARV medication adherence. The main reason for non-adherence, however, was forgetfulness. There had been an improvement in the majority of the respondents’ health status and quality of life. Maximizing adherence is essential. Providers and patients both have responsibilities in this regard. / Health Studies / M.A.(Health Studies)

The outputs that form the basis of this PhD submission include a web site that summarises a unique collection of over 200 Court Judgments in personal injury claims for work-related upper limb disorders heard in the UK, together with a number of more conventional publications. Individually, these outputs all address upper limb disorders associated with work although they each had slightly different objectives and the audiences for which they were produced significantly influenced the type of publication in which they appeared. Together, they help illustrate when, how and, to some extent, why upper limb disorders associated with keyboard use became the issue it did in the UK in the late 1980s and 1990s. While many might now regard keyboard or computer use as an innocuous task, in the late 1980s and 1990s upper limb disorders associated with keyboard use, particularly computer use, became the subject of litigation, legislation, industrial disputes and widespread publicity. The outputs on which this submission is based, together, suggest that following the importation of the concept of repetitive strain injuries (RSI) from Australia in the later 1980s, the activities of trades unions and journalists in the UK promoted work-relevant upper limb symptoms and disorders associated with keyboard use as work-induced injuries. Subsequently, a small number of successful, union-backed, personal injury claims, which involved contentious medical evidence and perhaps an element of iatrogenesis, were widely promoted as proof that computer use causes injury. Around the same time, the government chose to implement flawed Regulations relating to the design and use of computer workstations, which failed to distinguish between that which might give rise to discomfort, fatigue and frustration and that which might give rise to injury. The existence of these Regulations, which among other things require regular, individual risk assessments of computer users, unlike any other type of work, could be interpreted as further 'proof' that computer use causes injury. The approach to the prevention and management of musculoskeletal disorders advocated in current HSE guidance, including the risk assessment strategy, remain capable of generating distorted perceptions of the risks arising from keyboard and computer use.

<p>Tema ovog rada bazira se na neorealističkom pokretu i istraživanju uzročnika koji su doveli do njegovog nastanka, specifičnostima koje on, kao intenzivan umetnički pokret, poseduje i korelaciji između dela koje čine njegovo jezgro. Poseban osvrt načinjen je ka analizi odnosa i interpoziciji fotografske i filmske umetnosti kao vizuelnim, ontolo&scaron;ki bliskim, medijima.<br />Istraživanje fenomena italijanskog neorealizma, ukazalo je na ogromni izvor raznovrsnog sadržaja koji se mogu istraživati i analizirati na vi&scaron;e različitih principa. Stoga su i ciljevi istraživanja postavljeni prema potrebama pitanja pozicioniranja neorealističkog pokreta u istorijski i umetnički kontekst: ispitivanje uzročnika koji su doveli do stvaranja i egzistiranja neorealističkog pokreta, istorijskih činilaca, izvora i prethodnicama u literaturi, &scaron;tampanim medijima i filmskoj i fotografskoj umetnosti.&nbsp;<br />Za polaznu tačku istraživanja, termin neorealizam postavljen je u svoj istorijski kontekst da bi se postavila tačka &quot;oslonca&quot; za dalje analize, na koju su se kasnije mogli bazirati svi zaključci izvedeni iz pojedinih oblasti: neorealizam u filmu i fotografiji, internacionalni uticaj na autore neorealizma filma i fotografije, socijalno-istorijski uticaj na tlu Italije u periodu pre, tokom i neposredno nakon trajanja neorealističkog pokreta, kao i analiza filmskih i fotografskih neorealističkih dela.<br />Svaka oblast istraživanja pružila je određene činjenice i saznanja koja su, postavljena u kontekst teme ovog rada, omogućila sagledavanje jedne nove, &scaron;ire slike o neorealističkom pokretu, zasnovanom ne samo na postulatima uslovljenim i oblikovanim socijalno-fizičkim uslovima, kao primarnim pri nastanku neorealizma, nego uzima u obzir i sve ostale činioce i pozicionira ih u istu ravan sa gore navedenim, pro&scaron;irujući tako op&scaron;ti pogled na dela nastala u ovom periodu. Sledeći tragove istraživanja koji su ukazivali na nove bitne elemente, stvorila se &scaron;ira mreža relacija i informacija koja je uputila na dublju povezanost uzročnika neorealizma. Prožimanje istorijskih činjenica, dokazane relacije, poznanstva i saradnje autora, uticaj književnosti, filmske i fotografske umetnosti, vodile su do daljih zaključaka koji su se udaljavali od ustaljene teze o neorealizmu kao pokretu koji je eksplodirao stvaralačkom energijom i kreativnim izrazom, kao posledica terora fa&scaron;ističke diktature tokom Drugog svetskog rata, a potom oslobođenja, i sirovog izraza uslovljenog nema&scaron;tinom i oskudicom materijala, koji su diktirali formu i teksturu filmske i fotografske neorealističke forme.<br />Prilikom sumiranja činjenica koje su se izdvajale kao krucijalni delovi analiza, pokazalo se da se mnoge od njih sistematski ponavljaju i potvrđuju svoje prisustvo u ostalim kategorijama, kao i to da svaka od njih ima korene koji se prepliću i time ukazuju i na dublju povezanost u istorijskom kontekstu. Ovakav &quot;bihejviorizam&quot; podataka postepeno je doveo do realizacije zaključka, postavljenog ne samo na osnovu uporedne gramatike ovih podataka i kreiranja lingvistike filmskog i fotografskog neorealizma nego i na uporednoj analizi najkarakterističnijih dela filmskog i fotografskog neorealizma.<br />Ukratko, rezultati sumirani u formi zaključka, donose nov osvrt na umetnost neorealizma, pozicioniran na uporednoj analizi gore pomenutih činilaca i utemeljenog na faktivnim tvrdnjama i zaključcima, kao i na subjektivnom doživljaju i analizi dela. Neorealizam se, nakon ovakve analize, pojavio u svetlu umetničkog pokreta koji je svoje korene imao u periodu koji mu je neposredno prethodio, ali i u socijalno-istorijskim uticajima na tlu Italije, umetnostima filma, fotografije i književnosti, &scaron;tampanim i vizuelnim medijima u tridesetim i četrdesetim godinama dvadesetog veka, kao i specifičnom italijanskom nacionalnom duhu koji je neorealizmom odgovorio na specifične te&scaron;ke uslove u državi u ratnom i posleratnom periodu. Pored toga, dokazana je veza između fotografske i filmske umetnosti, koja zalazi i izvan granica teoretske povezanosti samih tehnolo&scaron;kih karakteristika medija. Ove dve umetničke discipline dokazano su egzistirale kao samosvesne oblasti (i vi&scaron;e od fromalne povezanosti u doba neorealizma), ali sa velikom i snažnom vezom koja je obostrano uticala na njih putem saradnje autora, preplitanja uticaja, interakcije medija.</p> / <p>The subject matter of the doctoral thesis is the origin, international influence and mutual factor of the cinematic and photographic neorealist art.</p>

L’objectif de la thèse est de mesurer en France l’influence des inégalités socioéconomiques individuelles et contextuelles sur la mobilité, l’incidence et la gravité des accidents corporels chez les enfants et les jeunes de moins de 25 ans. Des analyses originales sont effectuées à partir des bases de données suivantes : le Registre des Victimes d’accidents corporels de la circulation du Rhône, l’enquête ménage déplacement (EMD) de 2005-06 et une enquête épidémiologique de type cas-témoins réalisée durant la thèse. Excepté pour les victimes à deux-roues à moteur les incidences d’accidents lors de l’usage des différents modes de transports (voiture, vélo, marche et rollers) sont plus élevées chez les habitants des communes d’habitation défavorisées. Le sexe est également un facteur déterminant et très variable selon les modes de transport. L’effet de facteurs socioéconomiques sur la gravité des blessures d’accidents des jeunes, les différences socioéconomiques individuelles et contextuelles d’usage des modes de transports, de motorisation des ménages et d’accès au permis de conduire sont également étudiés. L’enquête de type cas témoins permet ensuite de pousser l’investigation en s’intéressant simultanément aux accidents, à la mobilité et à certains facteurs intermédiaires comme les comportements à risques (routier et non routiers) des jeunes. La reconnaissance des inégalités sociales de mobilité et d’accidents corporels peut permettre d’orienter les campagnes de prévention sur l’existence de zones et de groupes à risques / The aim of this thesis is to measure the influence of individual and contextual socioeconomic factors in daily travel, traffic injury incidences and severity of injuries when it comes to young persons of under 25 years of age in France. Original analyses were made using the following databases: the Rhône road trauma Registry, the Lyon Household Travel Survey 2005-2006 (HTS) and an epidemiological case-control survey conducted during the thesis. Except for casualties of motorized two-wheeler crash incidences for the different categories of road users (motorists, cyclists, roller-skate users and pedestrians) were generally higher among the inhabitants of deprived municipalities. Depending on categories of road users huge gender differences were also observed. The effects of socioeconomic factors on injury severity, individual and contextual socioeconomic differences in the use of modes of transport (daily travel), car ownership and access to driver’s license were also studied. The case-control study allows the investigation to focus simultaneously on injuries, daily travel and intermediate-risk factors such as risk behaviors factors of young people. The recognition of social inequalities in daily travel and traffic injuries allow focusing prevention campaigns on the existence of higher risk areas and groups

Este trabalho é um estudo ecológico descritivo sobre a leishmaniose tegumentar americana (LTA) na região do Vale do Ribeira paulista (composto por 23 municípios), que teve como objetivo correlacionar a incidência da doença com fatores determinantes ambientais e sociais. O trabalho se refere ao período de 1998 a 2006 o qual foi divido em três triênios, o primeiro de 1998 a 2000, o segundo de 2001 a 2003 e o terceiro de 2004 a 2006. Os coeficientes de incidência da LTA foram calculados para estes períodos (Coefmtr1, Coefmtr2 e Coefmtr3) segundo Szklo. Essa divisão de triênios se deu de acordo com as características gráficas dos coeficientes de incidência da LTA no período, que demonstraram haver num primeiro período uma fase endêmica da doença, no segundo período (2001 a 2003) a análise mostra picos de incidência que caracteriza um período epidêmico acentuado. No terceiro período alguns municípios mostram picos de incidência de proporções menores que os observados no período anterior, contudo ainda característicos de fase epidêmica. Os coeficientes de incidência são as variáveis dependentes dos três modelos de regressão realizados. As variáveis independentes foram obtidas de fontes de dados secundários e são de natureza sócio-demográfica, relacionadas as condições climáticas, de natureza político-geográficas e físico-biológicas. Essas variáveis foram separadas em qualitativas e quantitativas e analisadas respectivamente por testes não paramétricos de Mann Whitney e Spearman e selecionou-se para o processo de modelagem múltipla, as variáveis com p<0,20. Houve a necessidade de três modelos diferentes para verificar se os fatores determinantes que levaram as séries a se comportar de maneira diferenciada, seriam os mesmos ou não. O que se percebe é que há uma mudança no padrão do primeiro para os dois outros períodos. O trabalho aponta para fatores sócio-demográficos como determinantes na incidência de LTA, bem como a presença do vetor / This work is an ecological descriptive study on the American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) in the Ribeira Valley region of Sao Paulo (composed of 23 municipalities), which aimed to correlate the incidence of the disease with environmental and social factors. The paper refers to the period 1998 to 2006 which was divided into three years, the first from 1998 to 2000, the second from 2001 to 2003 and the third from 2004 to 2006. The rates of incidence of ACL were calculated for these periods (Coefmtr1, Coefmtr2 and Coefmtr3) Szklo seconds. This division was made in accordance with the graphics characteristics of the coefficients of incidence of ACL in the period, which has shown a period in a first stage of the disease endemic in the second period (2001 to 2003) the peak incidence analysis shows that characterizes a epidemic period strong. In the second period some municipalities show peaks of incidence of proportions lower than those observed in the previous period, yet still features the epidemic stage. The rates of incidence are dependent variables of the three regression models performed. The independent variables were obtained from sources in secondary databases, and are: in nature and socio-demographic, related climatic conditions, a political-geographical and physical and biological. These variables were separated in quality and quantity respectively and analyzed by non-parametric tests for Spearman and Mann Whitney and selected for the process of regress multiple model, the variables with p <0.20. There was a need for three different models to see if the determining factors that led to the series to behave in a different way, would be the same or not. What we understand is that there is a change in the pattern of the first to the other two periods. The study points to socio-demographic factors as determinants in the incidence of ACL and the presence of vector

Esta pesquisa realizou-se através da aplicação de entrevistas semiestruturadas a oito adolescentes internos do Centro de Socioeducação de Ponta Grossa. A análise dos fatores sociais possibilitou constatar que a variável „tempo de internação superior a seis meses‟ foi a que apresentou maior uso da variedade linguística em estudo, seguida das variáveis „nível de escolarização superior ao sexto ano do E. F.‟, „possibilidade de convívio‟, „tempo de internação de até seis meses‟, „nível de escolarização de até o sexto ano do E. F.‟ e „não possibilidade de convívio‟. Dos 260 termos e expressões obtidas na etapa de coleta de dados,156 não constam no referido dicionário, o que representa 60% do total de itens obtidos; 64 constam no dicionário com sentido diverso do utilizado pelos informantes – 24,5%; 40 estão dicionarizados com o mesmo sentido – 15,5%. A primeira parte da entrevista semiestruturada – as entrevistas narrativas de experiência pessoal – permitiu constatar que metade dos entrevistados já sofreram discriminação e preconceito devido à variedade linguística utilizada. As investigações entre linguagem e fatores extralinguísticos e sua relação com o comportamento social dos falantes podem contribuir para a compreensão do universo vocabular dos adolescentes que cumprem medidas socioeducativas, e colaborar com as práticas daqueles que trabalham com jovens, buscando compreender melhor suas particularidades, com a finalidade de auxiliá-los e conduzi-los nessa constante busca de experimentação de novas sensações e de tudo que se apresenta como novo. Dessa forma, a presente pesquisa pode contribuir para os estudos sociolinguísticos, no sentido de possibilitar a criação de ferramentas pedagógicas que auxiliem tanto o processo de ensino-aprendizagem escolar dos adolescentes em conflito, quanto a desconstrução do preconceito linguístico, o qual acaba por reforçar a posição social (marginal) desses adolescentes. / This study investigated the language used by adolescents who comply socioeducational measures of deprivation of liberty in the Socioeducation Center of Ponta Grossa and had as objectives to verify the influence of social factors - extralinguistic - as level of schooling, conviviality and length of stay of the speaker in the use of a linguistic variety characterized by the presence of words with figurative meaning; identify the presence or absence of terms and expressions collected in a Portuguese language dictionary, comparing the meaning contained in the dictionary with the meaning given to the terms by the interviewees and, finally, to analyze some narratives from the point of view of linguistic prejudice. This research was carried out through the application of semi-structured interviews to eight adolescents from the Centro de Socioeducação de Ponta Grossa. The analysis of social factors made it possible to verify that the variable 'hospitalization time of more than six months' was the one that presented the greatest use of the linguistic variety under study, followed by the variables' schooling level higher than the sixth year of E. F.‟, „'possibility of living‟, „length of stay of up to six months', 'level of schooling up to the sixth year of E. F.' and 'no possibility of conviviality'. Of the 260 terms and expressions obtained in the data collection stage, 156 are not included in the dictionary, which represents 60% of the total items obtained; 64 are in the dictionary with a different meaning from that used by the informants - 24.5%; 40 are worded with the same meaning - 15.5%. The first part of the semi-structured interview - narrative interviews of personal experience - showed that half of the interviewees have already suffered discrimination and prejudice due to the linguistic variety used. The investigations between language and extralinguistic factors and their relation with the social behavior of the speakers can contribute to the understanding of the vocabulary universe of the adolescents who fulfill socioeducative measures, and to collaborate with the practices of those who work with young people, seeking to better understand their particularities, with the purpose of assisting them and leading them in this constant search for experimentation of new sensations and of everything that presents itself as new. In this way, the present research can contribute to the sociolinguistic studies, in the sense of enabling the creation of pedagogical tools that help both the teaching-learning process of adolescents in conflict, as well as the deconstruction of linguistic prejudice, which reinforces the (marginal) social position of these adolescents.
