Magister Artium (Social Work) - MA(SW) / The National Policy on Orphans and Vulnerable defines an orphan as a child, who has lost one, or both parents, and is under the age of 18, while a vulnerable child is one, who is in need of care and protection. The Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVCs) are placed in residential childcare facilities (RCCFs), such as children’s homes, shelters, safe havens, or any other alternative form of care. They are provided with psychosocial support, depending on the facility, in which they are placed.Failure to provide proper and specialised care by the caregivers could prove harmful to the overall wellbeing of the child, resulting in children with developmental difficulties, poor interpersonal relationships, mental health difficulties, behavioural difficulties, and poor academic achievement.

The purpose of this study is to determine the levels of burnout and role stresses among direct service providers at centers for independent living in Region V, and investigate the relationship between burnout and role stressors among the population. Results showed that the respondents have average level of emotional exhaustion, high level of depersonalization, and low level of personal accomplishment in categorization of MBI scores. When comparing with the MBI-HSS normative samples, it indicated that these providers experience higher burnout than overall samples and the sample in social services. The obtained results supported the previous view that CIL management problems including low salaries, high staff turnover, insufficient resources, excessive caseload, unsatisfactory reward, or general lack of control over job tasks and responsibilities that may effect to high burnout.

In a democratic school system, all students should be included regardless of their individual differences. However, dyslexic students run the risk of being left behind in the process of becoming an independent reader. Being an independent reader facilitates further academic endeavors, helps the individual navigate the globalized world and invites the individual to read for pleasure. Due to a deficit in phonological awareness, dyslexic L2 English students face obstacles in reading tasks which they could overcome with the help of auditory aid. This study aims to investigate in what ways auditory aid can aid Swedish dyslexic L2 English students in secondary school, and what obstacles said group face with regard to the classroom environment, teaching methods and didactical considerations that language and special teachers apply. A survey was constructed to collect data regarding language and special teachers didactical choices. The results show that a majority of the participants use some kind of auditory aid in reading tasks when teaching dyslexic L2 students. However, the results also suggest that a number of language and special teachers do not incorporate individualized learner profiles and programs which are specifically designed to aid dyslexic students. This implies that language and special teachers may be unsure of the actual role of such programs. In addition, the effectiveness of auditory aid in individualized programs needs to be investigated further.

This research approaches independent film producer-distributor company A24 as a neoliberalentity in the context of the contemporary indie film industry. A24’s deliberate construction ofa public image as the ‘cool’ outsider positions them on the borders of independentcinema—in Indiewood. By means of a critical discourse analysis on A24’s indieness, framedby theories of paratextuality and neoliberalism, this research examines the essence of indieoppositionality as performed by A24. The respective indieness and neoliberal character ofindustry trendsetter A24 assist in reflecting on the general trend of independent cinema sincethe digital media wave of the mid-2010s, and suggest a trend towards a neoliberalmainstream-alternative middle ground.

Denna kvalitativa studie ämnar undersöka och belysa vilka metoder, strategier ochtillvägagångssätt ett antal independentartister, specifikt svenska rockband, använder sigav för att sprida sin musik, skaffa sig lyssnare och skapa intresse för sitt respektive band.Begreppet independentartist syftar i denna uppsats till artister eller musiker som skriver,producerar, distribuerar och marknadsför sina egna alster oberoende av majorbolag.Tidigare forskning tar avstamp i skivbolagens tidigare monopol inom musikproduktionoch distribution och dels hur streamingtjänsternas lansering på marknaden, i synnerhetSpotify, till synes ändrat spelreglerna inom musikbranschen, åtminstone vid en förstaanblick. Med dessa nya förutsättningar som utgångspunkt och med moderna verktyg somsociala medier i form av exempelvis Facebook och Instagram och dess stora potentialsom promotionverktyg, kretsar studien kring vilka möjligheter det finns förindependentartisten att ta sig fram i den moderna musikbranschen, hur man kan göra sighörd och skaffa lyssnare till sin musik. Det visar sig dock att i musikbranschen iallmänhet, och inom rockmusiken som genre i synnerhet, att gamla hierarkier ochtillvägagångssätt inom branschen fortfarande gäller. Fenomen som gatekeepers, behovetför artister och band att ha rätt kontakter och samarbeta med rätt aktörer ter sig fortfarandelika stort som innan streamingtjänsternas genombrott. Studiens metod utgår fråndjupintervjuer med två respondenter, oberoende av varandra men verkandes underungefär samma premisser och med liknande utgångspunkt. Intervjufrågor har formuleratsfokuserandes på undersökning av drivkrafter och målsättningar, promotionstrategier,användning av sociala medier och samarbeten med mellanhänder och andra utomståendeaktörer.

An investigation into whether Plato was committed to separate Forms in the Phaedo. Two accounts of separation are distinguished: Gail Fine's modal account where separation is a capacity to exist independendently from sensible particulars, and Daniel D. Devereux' non-modal account where separation is equivalent with non-immanence. I analyse multiple key passages of the Phaedo using these accounts of separation, to see whether any passage commits Plato to separation understood in either modal or non-modal terms. I argue and conclude that there is no evidence of Plato being committed to separation in the Phaedo, understanding separation in either modal or non-modal terms.
