Bakgrund: Att vara inskriven enligt lagen om psykiatrisk tvångsvård, LPT, innebär att självbestämmandet tas ifrån en. Eftersom den nya lagen skapades för att skydda patienters integritet undersöker detta arbetet patienternas upplevelser av tvångsvård. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva patienters erfarenheter av tvång med fokus på tvångsvård inom den psykiatriska vårdenheten. Metod: En litteraturstudie där sju vetenskapliga artiklar ingick. Systematisk granskning av artiklarna genomfördes. Resultat: Resultatet utgörs av tre kategorier: de som uppfattar tvång i störst utsträckning vilket var främst vita, högutbildade och kvinnor. Negativa erfarenheter av tvångsvård vilket inkluderade att ingen lyssnade eller tog en på allvar. Slutligen positiva erfarenheter av tvångsvård vilket bland annat innebar att ha någon att prata med och få viss kontroll över sin vård. Diskussion: Självbestämmande och kommunikation är viktiga faktorer som spelar en stor roll när det kommer till upplevelser av tvångsvård. Slutsats: Många faktorer spelar in vid upplevelser av tvångsvård och tvång. Både negativa och positiva upplevelser kom fram. Många problem hade kunnat undvikas om personalen hade pratat med patienterna och visat empati. Fler studier i ämnet behövs för att personalen ska kunna förstå patienterna och i slutändan ge en bättre vård. / Background: To be admitted according to the law of coercive measures in psychiatric care, LPT, one is stripped of one’s self-determination. Since the new law was created to protect patients' integrities, the aim of this study was to determine how patients' experienced coercive measures. Purpose: The aim was to describe patient´s experience of coercive measures with focus on psychiatric coercive care within a psychiatric care unit. Method: A literature review in which seven scientific articles were included. Systematic review of the articles was used. Results: Three categories were found: Those who experience coercive measure the most which was mainly white people, women and those with a high education. Negative experience of coercive measures which included not being listened to and taken serious. Finally positive experience which included having someone to talk to and being given some control over one’s own care. Discussion: Self determination and communication are key factors when it comes to experiences of coercive measures in psychiatric health care. Conclusion: There are many factors that correlated with experience of coercive measures and coercion. Both negative and positive experiences were mentioned. Many problems could have been avoided if only the staff had talked to the patients and showed empathy. More studies are needed to make the staff understand patients and ultimately give them better care.

During Nov.2008 to Apr. 2009, firms in Taiwan encountered dramatic financial crisis, and this impact made unemployment rate still climbing and economic depression. In order to reduce the impact from financial tsunami, every firm takes some strategies to resist it. The objective of our study is to find out the influence from financial tsunami on the listed companies. More importantly, we base on the three mechanisms (mimetic force, normative force and coercive force) of institutional theory and the perspectives of population theory to analyze why firms choose those strategies. We collect and analyze 201 returned questionnaires. We find when firms face both high market force, mimetic force and coercive, they tend to choose manipulation strategies. When firms face both low market force, mimetic force and coercive force, they tend to choose compromise strategies. When firms face high market force and low mimetic force and coercive force, they tend to use defiance strategies. When firms face low market force and high mimetic force and coercive force, they tend to use acquiescence strategies.

In 2008-2009, firms in Taiwan encountered dramatic financial tsunami, and this crisis made unemployment rate still climbing and economic depression. In order to reduce the impact from financial tsunami, every firm chooses some strategies to resist it. The purpose of our study is to find out the influence from financial tsunami on the listed companies. More importantly, we base on the three mechanisms (mimetic force, normative force and coercive force) of institutional theory to analyze the real reason for choosing strategies. We collect and analyze 201 returned questionnaires. The finding of this study is that the main factor of choosing strategies is from the mimetic force and normative force. In fact, the enterprise is affected by mimetic pressure deeply, and then it would tend to use the passive strategies. The enterprise is affected by normative pressure deeply, and then it would tend to use the active strategy. Interestingly, whether the enterprise is affected by coercive pressure or not, it doesn¡¦t affect the strategies choosing.

<p>This is a study of how the United States has used different diplomatic strategies towards Iran and North Korea. The concept of coercive diplomacy is defined and explained, in or-der to see if it has been used by the United States, and if so, to what extent. After giving a brief historical background between the U.S and the two countries, the study will put a fo-cus on what and why the Bush administration has acted the way they have in their diplo-matic relation with Iran and North Korea. The study presents cases where you can see par-allels between strategies used, but also some significant differences. The latter part of the study will examine the reasoning behind the different strategies used. Conclusion drawn from this study was that, in the case of Iran, the United States has been forced to act in a certain way due to the other conflicts they are involved with in the region, i.e. the war in Iraq and the situation in Afghanistan. Due to the fear for North Koreas al-ready existing nuclear arsenal, the U.S. has shown a more restricted diplomatic policy to-wards the country, not wanting to push them towards starting a nuclear war.</p>

Coercion within parent/child relationships can have lasting effects on the behavior of children. The Family Safety/Applied Behavior Analysis Initiative at the University of South Florida is part of a statewide project designed to serve foster parents and the children in the foster care system, has developed a training program entitled .Parenting Tools for Positive Behavior Change.. To date, the effectiveness of the parenting course has been evaluated in two ways. First, parents have been tested in role-play situations before and after training, and have shown improvements in their use of positive parenting skills. Second, frequency of foster home placement disruptions has been evaluated. The Preliminary results suggest that the parenting course was successful in decreasing the costs associated with placement disruptions, as well as reducing the number decreasing the costs associated with placement disruptions, as well as reducing the number of restrictive placements. Despite the promising results thus far, research has not been conducted to determine whether the parenting course reduces coercion in interactions between parents and children. The present study sought to demonstrate the effectiveness of .Parenting Tools for Positive Behavior Change. training course on the use of positive parenting tools within the context of authentic environments (i.e., within home settings) using parents and biological children. Although all parent participants. appropriate responding improved during the course of the study, results appeared more dramatic for some parents over others. In general, the parent participants seemed to do better in decreasing coercive responses with their child.s appropriate behaviors than their child.s inappropriate behaviors. Overall, affect on the parent.s coercive responses to their children.s behaviors was not as dramatic as the affect on their increase in responding appropriately to their child.s appropriate behaviors. It seems that the increase in more appropriate responses does not necessarily mean that this will also result in dramatic reductions in coercive responses by the parents.

Essay 1: Traffic research shares a fundamental dilemma with other areas of empirical research in which humans are potentially put at risk. Research is justified because it can improve safety in the long run. Nevertheless, people can be harmed in the research situation. Hence, we need to balance short-term risks against long-term safety improvements, much as in other areas of research with human subjects. In this paper we focus on ethical issues that arise when human beings are directly affected in the performance of research by examining how the ethical requirements in biomedical research can inform traffic research. After introducing the basic ethical requirements on biomedical research, each of the major requirements is discussed in relation to traffic research. We identify the main areas where biomedical research and traffic research differ, and where the ethical requirements from the former cannot easily be transferred to the latter. We then point to some of the issues that need to be addressed for a systematic approach to the ethics of traffic research. Essay 2: The requirement of always obtaining participants’ informed consent in research with human subjects cannot always be met, for a variety of reasons. In this paper, research situations where informed consent is unobtainable are described and categorised. Some of these kinds of situations, common in biomedicine and psychology, have been previously much discussed, whereas others, more prevalent in for example infrastructure research, introduce new perspectives. The advancement of new technology may lead to an increase in research of these kinds. The paper also provides a review of methods intended to compensate for a lack of consent and their applicability and usefulness for the different categories of situations are discussed, thereby providing insights into one important aspect of relevance for the question of permitting research without informed consent: how well that which informed consent is meant to safeguard can be achieved by other means. Essay 3: This paper starts with the assumption that it is morally problematic when people in need are offered money in exchange for research participation if the amount offered is unfair. Such offers are called “coercive”, and the degree of coerciveness is said to be determined by the offer’s potential to cause exploitation and its irresistibility. Depending on what view we take on the possibility to compensate for the sacrifices made by research participants, a wish to avoid “coercive offers” leads to policy recommendations concerning payment for participation. For sacrifices considered compensable we ought to offer either no payment or payment at a level deemed fair, while for sacrifices deemed incompensable we always ought to offer no payment. Essay 4: It is commonly thought that transactions that are the result of voluntary gift-giving do not constitute exploitation. This paper argues that exploitation is indeed possible in such situations, by showing how gift-giving can fulfil the two commonly proposed criteria for exploitation, namely that in an interaction between two persons one receives disproportionally little and the other disproportionally much of the resulting benefits, and that this disproportion is caused by the latter making inappropriate use of a disadvantage of the former. A theoretical approach to what such inappropriate use would amount to in cases of gift-giving is lacking. The paper therefore aims at spelling out such an approach. The method of reflective equilibrium inspires this endeavour, which proceeds by testing intuitions about examples that embody a set of possible conditions. It is concluded that three of the conditions are necessary for exploitation of gift-giving, namely (1) the giver incurs a loss, (2) the recipient has aimed for the gift, and (3) the gift is undeserved. / <p>QC 20140407</p>

Procesinės prievartos priemonės, kuriomis ribojamos asmenų teisės ikiteisminio tyrimo metu ar bylą nagrinėjant teisme yra leistinos ir netgi būtinos. Priešingu atveju nebūtų pasiekti proceso tikslai ir įvykdytas teisingumas. Šių priemonių įvairovė yra didelė. Jos skiriasi prievartos įgyvendinimo būdu, žmogaus teisių suvaržymo pobūdžiu ir kitais aspektais. Įvairios valstybės baudžiamąjį procesą reglamentuojančiuose įstatymuose gali numatyti skirtingas prievartos priemonių sistemas ir taikymo tvarką, tačiau demokratinėms valstybėms būdinga tai, kad numatant ir taikant prievartos priemones, paisoma proporcingumo principo. Lietuvos, kaip ir daugelio valstybių, buvusių SSRS sudėtyje, baudžiamajame procese iš bendros procesinių prievartos priemonių sistemos yra išskirtos kardomosios priemonės, kurios taikomos įtariamajam, kaltinamajam ar nuteistajam siekiant užtikrinti jo dalyvavimą procese, netrukdomą tyrimą ir užkertant kelią naujoms nusikalstamoms veikoms. Kardomųjų priemonių sistemoje yra išskiriama grupė priemonių, kurios vadinamos specialiosiomis kardomosiomis priemonėmis. Pagrindinis jų skiriamasis bruožas yra tai, kad jos taikomos ne bet kuriam, tačiau tik specialius ypatingus požymius turinčiam subjektui. Tradiciškai teisinėje literatūroje šioms priemonėms priskiriamas nepilnamečių atidavimas prižiūrėti ir karinio dalinio vadovybės stebėjimas, kurios taikomos tik nepilnamečiams ir kariams. Jas numato ir kitų buvusių SSRS respublikų baudžiamojo proceso įstatymai. Šios...

Otherwise, the process would not achieve the objectives of justice and executed. Diversity of these measures is high. They are different ways of implementing the abuse of human rights restrictions on the nature and other aspects. Various state laws governing criminal procedure may provide different coercive measures, systems and procedures for the application, but democracies characterized by the fact that the planning and application of coercive measures to respect the proportionality principle. Lithuania, like many states, former Soviet Union, the criminal process from the general procedural abuse of the system of supervision measures are identified that apply to the suspect, accused or convicted person in order to ensure its participation in the process, unhindered investigation and prevention of further offenses. Preventative measures, the system is isolated by a group of measures known as special preventive means. Their main distinguishing feature is that they do not apply to any, but only the special features of having a specific subject. Traditionally, the legal literature, these measures include the release of juvenile supervision and monitoring of the leadership of the military, which apply only to minors and soldiers.

This thesis aims at developing a conceptual framework for advancing basic research on questions about coercive diplomacy and the management of intrastate conflicts by relying on hegemonic stability theory and its most fundamental concept: public good. In the light of the failure of international community in developing a unified response to the most cases of intrastate conflicts, the study investigates the role of leadership in international attempts to manage such conflicts. I argue that in the absence of a direct threat to the interests of each individual member, there will be a need for a leader that is capable to provide public goods associated with efforts to bring a solution to the conflict. Findings from several phases of Kosovo crisis which support this proposition is used to illustrate and evaluate the accuracy of this assumption. Thus, the study is not only concerned with coercive diplomacy as a form of intervention but also the process that finally culminates into that instrument as evidence of the necessity for a leader.
