371	L’association entre la perception du risque à l’égard du VIH, les comportements sexuels et l’utilisation de la PrEP d’hommes gbHARSAH Charron, Mélanie 05 1900 (has links) La PrEP pourrait avoir un impact sur la perception du risque du VIH et ainsi influencer les comportements sexuels d’hommes gais, bisexuels et autres hommes ayant des relations sexuelles avec d’autres hommes (gbHARSAH). Les buts de l’étude étaient 1) de comparer les caractéristiques sociodémographiques, les habitudes de vie, les comportements sexuels et relationnels, les antécédents d’infections transmissibles sexuellement et des facteurs psychosociaux liés à la prise de risque d’hommes gbHARSAH en fonction de la perception du risque du VIH et 2) d’examiner l’association entre cette perception du risque et les relations anales sans condom (RASC) selon l'utilisation de la PrEP. Cette étude descriptive corrélative consistait en une analyse secondaire de l’étude ENGAGE réalisée auprès de 945 hommes gbHARSAH. Comparativement au groupe qui se percevait moins à risque du VIH (n = 773), celui qui se percevait plus à risque (n = 172) différait quant aux comportements sexuels. Dans l’analyse non stratifiée, le risque perçu élevé du VIH était associé aux RASC (RC = 2,87; 95 % IC = 1,84 - 4,47) et l’utilisation de la PrEP était associée aux RASC (RC = 12,75; 95 % IC = 3,43 - 47,41). Dans l’analyse stratifiée, parmi les hommes qui n’étaient pas sous PrEP, seule l’association entre le risque perçu élevé du VIH et des RASC était maintenue (RC = 2,91; 95 % IC = 1,86 - 4,57). Cette étude montre l’influence de la perception du risque sur les comportements sexuels, suggérant ainsi la pertinence d’une approche globale de la prévention du VIH. / PrEP may impact self-perceived risk for HIV infection and influence the sexual behaviors among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM). The aims of this study were 1) to compare the sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyles, sexual and relational behaviors, history of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections, and psychosocial factors related to risk-taking behaviors of gbMSM according to self-perceived risk for HIV infection, and 2) to examine the association between self-perceived risk for HIV infection and condomless anal intercourse (CAI) according to PrEP use. This descriptive and correlational study was a secondary analysis of data collected by the ENGAGE study which involved 945 gbMSM. Compared with gbMSM with lower self-perceived risk for HIV (n = 773), those with higher self-perceived risk (n = 172) differed in terms of sexual behaviors. An unstratified analysis showed high self-perceived risk for HIV infection to be associated with CAI (aOR: 2.87, 95% CI: 1.84–4.47) and PrEP use to be associated with CAI (aOR: 12.75, 95% CI: 3.43–47.41). A stratified analysis by PrEP use showed that, among gbMSM who did not use PrEP, only the association between high self-perceived risk for HIV infection and CAI was maintained (aOR: 2.91, 95% CI: 1.86–4.57). This study reveals the influence of risk perception on sexual behaviors and highlights the importance of a global approach to prevention of HIV infection. comportements sexuels PrEP VIH perception du risque du VIH HIV risk perception sexual behaviors

Sadiku, Sofia, Sadiku, Teuta January 2023 (has links) Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att utreda och analysera vilka faktorer socialsekreterare på mottagningsenheten för barn och unga beaktar vid bedömandet av inledande av utredning efter anmälan avseende ungdomsbrottslighet. Studien bygger på sex kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med socialsekreterare som arbetar på mottagning för barn och unga i socialtjänsten. Vidare analyserades samtliga intervjuer utifrån tematisk analys. Genom en tematisk analys visar det övergripande resultatet att brottets karaktär, föräldraförmåga, ungdomens beteende, tidigare kännedom och polisens beskrivning av ungdomen påverkar socialsekreterarnas bedömning gällande att inleda utredning på unga som begår brott eller är misstänka för brott. Socialsekreterarna i vår studie klargjorde att brottets karaktär var av betydelse vid bedömning om att inleda utredning, sett till brottets allvarlighet. Föräldraförmåga belystes som en faktor som antingen skapade oro hos socialsekreterarna eller minskade deras oro då föräldrarna uppvisade god föräldraförmåga. De beskrev även ungdomens beteende som en faktor som togs i beaktning vid socialsekreterarnas bedömning, men ungdomens beteende var av störst vikt vid mindre allvarliga brott. Tidigare kännedom om en ungdom resulterade i att socialsekreterarna många gånger bedömda att inleda utredning. Utifrån resultatet kunde vi dra slutsatsen att socialsekreterarnas bedömning inte endast påverkas av själva brottet, utan en helhetsbedömning av faktorer runt ungdomen tas främst i beaktning. / The purpose of this essay has been to investigate and analyze which factors social workers, at the reception unit for children and young people, take into account when assessing the initiation of an investigation after a report regarding juvenile delinquency. The study is based on six qualitative semi-structured interviews with social workers who work at reception for children and young people in social services. Furthermore, all interviews were analyzed based on thematic analysis which as an overall, results in showing that the nature of the crime, parenting skills, the youth's behavior, previous knowledge, and the police's description of the youth influence the social workers' assessment of whether to initiate an investigation into young people who commit crimes or are suspected of crimes. Moreover, the social workers in our study clarified that the nature of the crime was important when deciding whether to initiate an investigation, given the seriousness of the crime. Parental ability was highlighted as a factor that either created concern for the social workers or reduced their concern when the parents demonstrated good parenting ability. Similarly, they also described the youth's behavior as a factor, considering the social workers' assessment, but the youth's behavior was of greatest importance for less serious offences. Previous knowledge of a young person resulted in the social workers many times deciding to initiate an investigation. In short and based on the results, we could conclude that the social workers' assessment is not only influenced by the crime itself, but an overall assessment of factors surrounding the young person is mainly taken into account. juvenile delinquency young people who commit crimes norm-breaking behavior social workers risk and protective factors initiate investigation ungdomsbrottslighet unga som begår brott normbrytande beteende socialsekreterare risk- och skyddsfaktorer inleda utredning Social Work Socialt arbete
373	Les facilitateurs et les obstacles à la situation d’inclusion scolaire d’élèves francophones issu·es de l’immigration récente en classe ordinaire du primaire Montesano, Gabrielle 12 1900 (has links) Ayant comme première langue apprise ou d’usage le français, les élèves francophones issu·es de l’immigration récente (EFIIR) sont souvent directement inclus·es en classe ordinaire dans le niveau scolaire de leur groupe d’âge (MELS, 2014d). Elles et ils ne reçoivent généralement pas de soutien particulier puisque l’école considère leur maîtrise de la langue d’enseignement suffisante. Pourtant, ces EFIIR sont confronté·es à des obstacles potentiels de taille (Gosselin-Gagné, 2018a). Pour favoriser leur plein épanouissement, l’inclusion scolaire est alors un concept à mobiliser (Potvin, 2013). S’appuyant sur le socioconstructivisme, elle amène le personnel à reconnaître l’hétérogénéité des profils des élèves et à mettre en œuvre des pratiques équitables et adaptées à leurs besoins. Ce projet de recherche a 3 objectifs spécifiques : 1) documenter les facilitateurs et obstacles à la situation d’inclusion d’EFIIR dans leur groupe classe ordinaire du primaire; 2) dégager des pratiques inclusives et socioconstructivistes qui soutiennent leur situation d’inclusion; et 3) analyser leur situation d’inclusion en fonction de la synthèse retenue et des principes de l’inclusion scolaire. Le type de recherche adoptée est l’étude de cas multiples. La triangulation des données a été assurée par leur collecte auprès de trois types de personnes participantes, soit les EFIIR, leur parent et le personnel scolaire impliqué dans leur situation d’inclusion, et ce, avec des entretiens semi-dirigés. Les résultats se structurent autour de trois études de cas de situations d’inclusion d’EFIIR. Plusieurs facilitateurs, comme le soutien des parents et celui de la personne enseignante titulaire, ont été nommés par les personnes participantes et dégagés à la suite de l’analyse des données collectées. Les EFIIR ont également rencontré divers obstacles en lien avec leurs apprentissages en mathématiques, la diversité culturelle et linguistique du français, et la création de liens d’amitié. Ces facilitateurs et obstacles étaient davantage nommés par les personnes participantes comme étant intrinsèques aux EFIIR, ce qui a suggéré un manque d’adaptation réciproque de la part de l’école. De plus, une variété de pratiques inclusives et socioconstructivistes qui soutiennent la situation d’inclusion scolaire de ces EFIIR a été soulevée tels un protocole d’accueil réfléchi, l’enseignement explicite de l’empathie et l’accompagnement des élèves dans leur socialisation. / Students who have recently immigrated that master French as their first spoken language are often directly included in schools in ordinary classes associated to their age group (MELS, 2014d). They generally do not receive any particular support since schools consider their competencies of the language of instruction sufficient. However, these students face significant potential obstacles (Gosselin-Gagné, 2018a). To promote their full potential, inclusion is a concept to mobilize (Potvin, 2013). Based on the sociocultural theory, it encourages school staff to recognize the heterogeneity of student profiles and intervene in an equitable and adapted way to answer their needs. This research project has 3 specific objectives: 1) to document the facilitators and obstacles to the situation of inclusion of French-speaking students who have recently immigrated in ordinary classes in elementary schools; 2) to identify inclusive and sociocultural practices that support the situation of inclusion of these students; and 3) to analyze their situation of inclusion according to the retained synthesis of inclusive education and its principles. This project is a multiple case study. Triangulation of the data was ensured by collecting them from three types of participants, namely French-speaking students who have recently immigrated, their parents and school staff involved in their situation of inclusion, with semi-structured interviews. The results are structured around three case studies of the situation of inclusion of three French-speaking students who have recently immigrated. Several facilitators, such as support from parents and from the classroom teacher, were named by the participants and identified following the analysis of the data collected. These students encountered various obstacles related to their learning in mathematics, the cultural and linguistic diversity of French, and the creation of friendships. These facilitators and obstacles were often named as being intrinsic to the students, which suggested a lack of reciprocal adaptation on behalf of the schools. In addition, a variety of inclusive and sociocultural practices that supported the situation of inclusion of these French-speaking students who had recently immigrated were raised, such as a thoughtful reception protocol, the explicit teaching of empathy, and the support for students in their socialization.

375	Utveckling av en kommunikationsstrategi kring hållbar vattenanvändning / Development of a Communication Strategy for Sustainable Water Use Lindeborg, Petra January 2021 (has links) Syftet med studien har varit att kartlägga Norrvattens kommunikation kring hållbar vattenanvändning med sina medlemskommuner och medlemskommunernas kommunikation med kommuninvånarna. Ytterligare ett syfte med studien har varit att kartlägga hur andra VA-organisationer har kommunicerat kring hållbar vattenanvändning. Kartläggningarna har gjorts utifrån perspektiven hur kommunikationen genomförts, vad som kommunicerats och med vilket syfte. För att synliggöra kommunikationen har en didaktisk analys gjorts utifrån de didaktiska frågorna vem, vad, varför, när och hur. Slutligen har studien syftat till att utveckla ett underlag för en kommunikationsstrategi för Norrvattens kommunikation med medlemskommuner och kommuninvånare. Grunden i resultatet av kartläggningen av kommunikationen och enligt tidigare forskning ska kommunikationen syfta till att stärka möjligheter att hantera dricksvattenefterfrågan för hållbar vattenanvändning. I studien framkom att kommunikationen kring hållbar användning av vatten syftar till att förändra individers beteenden, för att minska den onödiga användningen av vatten. Respondenterna lyfter också fram att kommunikationen bör syfta till att öka vattnets värde samt öka kunskapen kring produktionen och produktionskapaciteten. Innehållsmässigt visar resultaten att kommunikationen ska beröra konkreta och praktiska handlingar, teknisk fakta och vattnets kretslopp i det större perspektivet. Olika kommunikationskanaler passar för olika typer av kommunikation, där resultatet visar att navet för kommunikationen med kommuninvånare är webben och sociala medier. Tonalitet, timing och sociala aspekter av kommunikationen framställdes i resultatet också som viktiga delar. Dessa har på olika sätt inkluderats i kommunikationsstrategin. Kommunikationsstrategin har utvecklats baserat på en modell framställd utifrån den teoretiska grund som använts i studien. Modellen har framställts som ett fundament medan resultatet från kartläggningarna av Norrvatten, medlemskommunerna och VA-organisationernas kommunikation tillsammans med tidigare forskning har utgjort innehållet. / The aim of this study was to map Norrvatten’s communication regarding sustainable water usage with Norrvatten’s municipalities and the municipalities’ communication with the municipal residents. Furthermore, the aim has also been to map how other water and sewerage organizations have communicated about sustainable water use. Focus of the systematic mapping of the communication was on how the communication was carried out, what was communicated and for what purpose. To understand the communication, a didactic analysis was carried out based on the didactic questions of who, what, why, when, and how. The last purpose of the study aimed to develop basis for a communication strategy for Norrvatten's communication with member municipalities and municipal residents. This was done based on the results of the communication mapping and previous research. The communication intends to strengthen opportunities to handle potable water demand relative to sustainable use of water. The result showed that communication about sustainable use of water aim to change individuals' behaviors, to reduce the unnecessary use of water. The respondents also emphasize that communication should aim to increase the value of water and increase knowledge of the production and production capacity. In terms of content, the results show that the communication touches on concrete and practical actions, technical facts, and the water cycle in the larger perspective. Communication channels are suitable for different types of communication, where the results show that the hub of communication with municipal residents is the website and social media. Tonality, timing, and social aspects of the communication were also presented in the result as important parts. These have been included in the communication strategy. The communication strategy was developed on a model produced on the theoretical basis used in the study. The model has been presented as a foundation, while the results from the communication mapping of Norrvatten, the member municipalities and the VA organizations' communication together with previous research have constituted the content. sustainable water use communication communication strategy behavior change hållbar vattenanvändning kommunikation kommunikationsstrategi beteendeförändring Other Engineering and Technologies Annan teknik Learning Lärande
376	Towards an articulation of architecture as a verb : learning from participatory development, subaltern identities and textual values Bower, Richard John January 2014 (has links) Originating from a disenfranchisement with the contemporary definition and realisation of Westernised architecture as a commodity and product, this thesis seeks to explore alternative examples of positive socio-spatial practice and agency. These alternative spatial practices and methodologies are drawn from participatory and grass-roots development agency in informal settlements and contexts of economic absence, most notably in the global South. This thesis explores whether such examples can be interpreted as practical realisations of key theoretical advocacies for positive social space that have emerged in the context of post-Second World-War capitalism. The principal methodological framework utilises two differing trajectories of spatial discourse. Firstly, Henri Lefebvre and Doreen Massey as formative protagonists of Western spatial critique, and secondly, John F. C. Turner and Nabeel Hamdi as key advocates of participatory development practice in informal settlements. These two research trajectories are notably separated by geographical, economic and political differentiations, as well as conventional disciplinary boundaries. However by undertaking a close textual reading of these discourses this thesis critically re-contextualises the socio-spatial methodologies of participatory development practice, observing multiple theoretical convergences and provocative commonalities. This research proposes that by critically comparing these previously unconnected disciplinary trajectories certain similarities, resonances and equivalences become apparent. These resonances reveal comparable critiques of choice, value, and identity which transcend the gap between such differing theoretical and practical engagements with space. Subsequently, these thematic resonances allow this research to critically engage with further appropriate surrounding discourses, including Marxist theory, orientalism, post- structural pluralism, development anthropology, post-colonial theory and subaltern theory. 5 In summary, this thesis explores aspects of Henri Lefebvre's and Doreen Massey's urban and spatial theory through a close textual reading of key texts from their respective discourses. This methodology provides a layered analysis of post-Marxist urban space, and an exploration of an explicit connection between Lefebvre and Massey in terms of the social production and multiplicity of space. Subsequently, this examination provides a theoretical framework from which to reinterpret and revalue the approaches to participatory development practice found in the writings and projects of John Turner and Nabeel Hamdi. The resulting comparative framework generates interconnected thematic trajectories of enquiry that facilitate the re-reading and critical reflection of Turner and Hamdi's development practices. Thus, selected Western spatial discourse acts as a critical lens through which to re-value the social, political and economical achievements of participatory development. Reciprocally, development practice methodologies are recognised as invaluable and provocative realisations of the socio-spatial qualities that Western spatial discourse has long advocated for, and yet have remained predominantly unrealised in the global North. 720.1
377	A legal comparison between South African, Canadian and Australian workmen's compensation law Jansen van Vuuren, Johanna Petronella 30 April 2015 (has links) Workers’ compensation originated internationally because of the need to address the plight of workers and communities left destitute due to occupationally sustained disabilities or death. This study examines how the right to no-fault compensation developed in South Africa in comparison to the comparable law in Canada and Australia. Specific limitations regarding the right to workers' compensation pursuant to the South African compensatory laws were identified. Limitations identified include the persons falling within the ambit of the law, circumstances creating a right to compensation, the right to claims for increased compensation uniquely provided for in South African compensatory law and founded in the negligent conduct of employers as well as common law redress for damages. The background of the administrative remedy in the form of the right to compensation for occupational injuries and diseases ought to be seen in the light of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996. / Mercantile Law / LL.

378	Who are we and what do we measure? : A case study of the dynamic relationship between performance measurement and organizational identity Källgren, Marcus, Vejbrink Kildal, Adrian January 2022 (has links) Performance measurements have been described as a tool by which management can communicate expected standards of behavior as well as a shared meaning among members regarding the intended direction of the firm. In parallel, the organizational identity field relies on the premise that members can answer the question “who are we as an organization?” through a sense of shared understanding. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the implications a performance measurement system has on the employees’ perception of “who we are“, related to the theoretical framework of organizational identity. This paper utilizes a qualitative research method, a case-based approach of a Swedish life science company which is conducted in an exploratory manner. The case company is chosen due to its contextual setting regarding the newly implemented performance measurement system, along with the inherent characteristics of the industry in general, which is typically considered to be incongruent with such quantitative measurements. The empirical data is collected through eight interviews with members from the chosen case company, as well as through internal documents describing its performance measurement system. The authors propose a revised theoretical framework in which performance measurements and organizational identity are investigated through a conceptual model which explores their dynamic relationship. The findings reinforce well-known ideas of performance measurements and organizational identity, along with providing new insights on the dynamics between them.

379	When narratives create community: standing with children against stealing Morkel, Elizabeth 30 November 2002 (has links) At a Muslim school a group of boys with a reputation for stealing got the opportunity to share stories with communities of concern. Honesty meetings, honesty tests, honesty certificates and honesty celebrations formed part of narrative therapy ways of working together to try and regain reputations for honesty. As an outsider researcher/therapist I was confronted by stories of slavery, racism, unemployment, poverty, crime and violence. Through collaboration with a cultural consultant it became possible to do theology and pastoral care as a Christian in a Muslim community in a respectful and ethical way. The sharing of stories of pain and resistance contributed to the mutual care and community amongst participants from communities separated by racism and apartheid legislation as well as differences of culture and religion. Reflections on this journey mark a migration of identity for me as researcher, therapist, Christian and white South African practical theologian. / Practical Theology / M.Th.

380	"Disabled identities": pastoral work with people who are mobility impaired Jacobs, Alvean Illinois 30 November 2004 (has links) This thesis is about pastoral work with people who live with mobility impairment. The research address two main questions, namely "What are the implications of acquired mobility impairment for personal identity and collective identity?" and "How can we in Christian faith communities, through pastoral work, facilitate a sense of belonging and strengthen personal identity and collective identity for people who are mobility disadvantaged?" This thesis therefore addresses the problem of identity. Thus, a theoretical analysis from literature sources is undertaken to explore theories about narrative identity in relation to personal identity and the importance of the metaphor "belonging" to bridge the gap of personal identity to collective identity. Consequently, religious identity is discussed in relation to the notion of multiple identities and the importance of collective identity to shaping personal identity. The research questions are answered through a theoretical exploration of approaches to disability and qualitative, narrative empirical research is undertaken. A few people who are quadriplegic, a family member and an occupational therapist are interviewed and the recounting of their "stories" facilitated. The empirical research results in highlighting that the research participants' "stories" discloses a link between bodily restrictions and social restrictions to mobility. This combination works together to make social interaction very difficult and clearly influenced the transition from pre-quadriplegia to post-quadriplegia. Analysing the "stories" told by the research participants allows for critical reflection on a preferred pastoral work praxis to people living with mobility impairment. Narrative identity is linked with a theology of embrace and metaphors of "covenant" and "belonging" which expresses that faith communities should imitate the embracing love and compassion of the Triune God who through the act of suffering included all humankind. It provides the foundation for a preferred pastoral work praxis of "embrace" which can be practised holistically and actively through integration with the other practices of faith communities to facilitate a sense of belonging to a collective identity. / Practical Theology / D. Th.
