Unlimited retention of personal information on the web may harm individuals: employers can find youthful indiscretions on social media, and incorrectly low credit scores may haunt individuals for a lifetime. Currently, Europe revives the "right to erasure" as a first step towards a forgetting web. Early technologies implementing oblivion suffer from vulnerabilities and narrowly assume that users require information to be erased after a pre-determined time. But little is known about users' actual oblivion needs. A first study shows that users desire control over disclosed personal information to reduce pre-disclosure privacy concerns, and to delete harmful information after disclosure. In the long run, users have a need for dissociating from obsolete information that represents their past identity. A second study analyses whether oblivion-enhancing technologies (OETs) currently deployed in online services satisfy users' needs. While not all services give users assurance that disclosed information can be erased again, most provide users with some active control. But to manage the increasing volume of personal information stored, users would also require "intelligent" support with oblivion. Intelligent agents that keep track of disclosed information long-term could automatically safeguard users from information relating to a past episode in life surfacing unexpectedly.

The presence of a significant number of people who do not intend to be vaccinated could negatively impact efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study sought to determine the prevalence of intention to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and associated sociodemographic and psychosocial factors in thirteen countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). A total of 5510 people from 13 LAC countries participated. Frequencies, percentages, bivariate analyses using chi-square tests, and Poisson regression analysis with robust variance were used. The countries with the highest prevalence of intention to be vaccinated were Brazil (96.94%), Cuba (89.59%), Chile (84.59%), and Mexico (78.33%). On the other hand, the countries with the lowest prevalence were El Salvador (54.01%), Paraguay (55.87%), and Uruguay (56.40%). Prevalence is also reported according to some sociodemographic and health variables. It was found that country, male sex, hours exposed to information about COVID-19, university education, living in an urban area, belief in the animal origin of the virus, perceived likelihood of contracting COVID-19, perceived severity of COVID-19, and concern about infecting others significantly predicted intention to be vaccinated in the 13 LAC countries. While most countries had a high prevalence of intention to be vaccinated, there are still subgroups that have levels of intention that may be insufficient to predict the presence of community immunity. In this sense, knowing the estimates of vaccination intention rates, as well as the associated sociodemographic and psychological factors, can be used to plan actions and interventions that will inform about the safety and benefits of vaccines, as well as strengthen trust in health authorities.

The Pulitzer Prize-nominated To Be Certain of the Dawn is an hour-long, polystylistic oratorio written in 2005 by composer Stephen Paulus (1949–2014) with an interfaith libretto by Michael Dennis Browne (b. 1940). The work was commissioned by the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis and was intended to be given as a gift to the Temple Israel - Minneapolis synagogue. The oratorio was written to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps in 1945 as well as the 40th anniversary of the 1965 Vatican document Nostra Aetate. In this study, I examine Paulus and Browne's prolific artistic partnership, situate To Be Certain of the Dawn within their respective catalogs, explore the genesis of the work, and analyze the oratorio's structure, harmony, and libretto. I then utilize this analysis to provide a thorough guide for teaching and preparing this concert-length oratorio. In addition to the analysis, I have created supplemental teaching aids and rehearsal suggestions for preparing this work. With each component of this document, I intend to provide context and resources that assist conductors and organizations who aspire to perform this modern major work.

[pt] O presente trabalho tem como objetivo investigar as bases da capacidade de um indivíduo estar só e apreender o que comprometeria a possibilidade de alguém ser, existir e de se constituir em uma unidade, alcançando o crescimento emocional e a autonomia. Para isso, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa teórica a partir do método conceitual analítico. A investigação foi fundamentada, principalmente, no pensamento do psicanalista inglês Donald Winnicott. Em uma primeira parte, investigou-se o aspecto positivo da solidão partindo da concepção winnicottiana do estar só como uma capacidade. Na segunda parte, a capacidade de estar só foi relacionada com o espaço potencial winnicottiano, partindo da releitura e da compreensão de Thomas Ogden de que na capacidade de estar só a criança se torna capaz de gerar um espaço continente no qual ela vive. Por fim, na terceira parte desta pesquisa, refletiu-se sobre o aspecto desértico da solidão buscando apreender possíveis dificuldades no desenvolvimento emocional primitivo que inviabilizariam a vivência do estar só. Procurou-se compreender as ansiedades primitivas e os processos defensivos envolvidos nos primórdios do desenvolvimento, explorando a etiologia do falso self winnicottiano em contraponto com o gesto espontâneo do bebê. / [en] The present work aims to investigate the basis of an individual s capacity to be alone and to apprehend what would compromise the possibility of someone being, existing and constituting a unit, achieving emotional growth and autonomy. For this, a theoretical research was developed from the analytical conceptual method. The investigation was based mainly on the theory of the English psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. In a first part, it was investigated the positive aspect of aloneness based on the Winnicottian conception of being alone as a capacity. In the second part, it was related the capacity to be alone with the Winnicottian potential space, starting from the reinterpretation and understanding of Thomas Ogden that in the capacity to be alone, the child becomes capable of generating a continent space in which he lives. Finally, in the third part of this research, it was contemplated the desert aspect of loneliness, seeking to understand possible difficulties in primitive emotional development that would make the experience of being alone unfeasible. It was investigated the primitive anxieties and the defensive processes involved in the beginnings of development, exploring the etiology of the Winnicottian false self in counterpoint to the baby s spontaneous gesture.

This work is a discourse analysis on a case study of Swedish school politic. Whith Carol Bacchi’s ‘What’s the problem represented to be?’-method this thesis conducts an analysis of the two propositions ’Ett mer likvärdigt skolval’ and ’Ökad likvärdighet för skolhuvudmän’. The method’s strength is that it seeks what’s presupposed in policy and problematizes it. The research questions are from ‘What’s the problem represented to be?’ and are as follows: 1) What problem representations can be found in P58 and P161? Is anyone more prominent? 2) What presuppositions underpin this representation of the ‘problem’? 3) What’s left unproblematic? Can the ‘problem’ be thought about differently? The analysis showed that the problem is the high concentration of students with the same weak socioeconomic background at schools and school segregation which is contingent of the residential segregation. The presupposition to this problem representation is the idea of school as a democratic meeting point for students with different backgrounds. The school segregation causes the school to fail being a meeting point of that sort. The school choice enables school segregation and the so called ‘white flight’-phenomenon. The voluntary segregation was not accustomed for in the propositions but that provides ground for further research.

Through a comparison of Tennessee Williams’ Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire and Neil LaBute’s Steph in reasons to be pretty, this thesis explores the ways in which the female position has both changed and remained relatively the same over the course of the last sixty years.

Background This study was part of the Salut programme with the goal to improve the health and well-being of the population of Västerbotten. The target group in this study were the parents-to-be. An adequate fruit and vegetable (FV) intake can contribute to a better health and can be influenced by several factors. This can be used to describe the characteristics for different groups.Aims The aim of this study was to describe the FV intake among parents-to-be in Västerbotten. A further aim was to examine what characterizes parents-to-be who eat different amounts of FV regarding to Body Mass Index (BMI), meal types, snack consumption, physical activity (PA), level of education, habits of life and satisfaction with economic situation.Method A cross-sectional study design was used. The data were collected by using health forms designed by Salut, which were distributed to the parents-to-be (nmothers=4352, nfathers/partners=3965) by midwives. Data was analyzed with SPSS. Chi2 test was used to analyse differences between those with a FV intake below or according the recommendation and Mann-Whitney U-Test was used to compare the mothers- with the fathers-to-be. The significance level was set to 0.05.Results Of the mothers- and fathers/partners-to-be respectively up to 23.5% and 6.9% met the FV recommendations. Based on the BMI, 25.9% of the mothers-to-be and 52.1% of the fathers/partners-to-be was overweight or obese. PA (p<0.001), habits of life (p<0.001) satisfaction with economic situation (pmothers=0.044, pfathers=0.005) and highest level of completed education (pmothers<0.001, pfathers=0.005) were positively associated with the FV intake.Conclusion The FV intake was associated with several characteristics and there were significant differences between the mothers- and fathers-to-be. This information can be used to design and implement an intervention to increase the FV intake to improve the health and well-being of the population of Västerbotten.

This thesis examines the Swedish Government Cyber Security Strategy laid out for the years 2016-2022 using Carol Bacchi’s discourse method and theory concept “What’s the problem represented to be” (WPR). The theoretical framework of the thesis also builds on critical theories on security- and threat perception following the concept of “exceptionalist securitising” and “diffusing insecurities”. The study suggests that the government has a national security focus that stresses “high politics” cyber threats rather than risks related to individuals and the Swedish society. Potential enemies are presented as located outside of the national boarders indicating a more traditional security perspective and enemy construction coming from other states. The study also disclosed that the strategy strives to stress the necessity of raising the awareness on cyber security as well as uniting the authorities working on cyber security while neglecting the democratic limits that political actions such as state-monitoring and data surveillance implicates.
