Könsskillnader i betyg, Ronneby kommun -Ett implementeringsproblem?

Bragd, Liselott January 2006 (has links)
<p>This study was carried out in Ronneby municipality during May 2006. I chose to compare three senior schools with regards to the implementation of objective orientated directives based on the teachers understanding of the task, motivation, resources allocated and their significance for the disparity between boys’ and girls’ grades.</p><p>I carried out nine in-depth interviews: three at each senior school. From the interviews it emerged that teachers perceive objectives differently from parents and students. Teachers claim that they understand the directives but say that they lack the resources. According to those interviewed, the disparity in grades between boys and girls is due to biological factors, class affiliation and group dynamics. None of those interviewed feel that they contribute to the difference in grades.</p><p>This study should not be seen as a generalisation but rather as a preliminary study to further research within the topic area.</p>

Advance Directives and Personal Identity

Furberg, Elisabeth January 2012 (has links)
Advance directives are instructions given by patients – or potential patients – specifying what actions ought to be taken for their health in the event that they are no longer capable to make decisions due to illness or incapacity. Over the last decades, there has been a rising tide in favour of advance directives: not only is the use of such directives recommended by most medical and advisory bodies, they are also gaining increasing legal recognition in many parts of the world. This book, however, takes as its point of departure one of the most commonly discussed medical-ethical arguments against granting advance directives moral force: the Objection from Personal Identity. The adherers of this objection basically asserts that when there is lacking psychological continuity between the person who formulated the advance directive and the later patient to whom it supposedly applies, this seriously threatens the directive’s moral authority. And, further, that this is so because lacking sufficient psychological continuity implies that the author of the advance directive is numerically distinct from the later patient. Although this argument has some initial appeal, most philosophers in the advance directives debate maintain that the Objection from Personal Identity fails, but suggest different reasons as to why. Whereas some argue that the objection has no force because it rests on faulty beliefs about personal identity, others argue that we ought to grant advance directives moral authority even if the author and the later patient are numerically distinct beings. This book investigates some of the most influential of these arguments and reaches the conclusion that the Objection from Personal Identity has more to it than is usually recognized in the medical-ethical debate. Lacking sufficient psychological continuity between author and later patient, it is concluded, does threaten the moral authority of the advance directive.

Arbetet mot penningtvätt i svenska banker : en kvalitativ studie om kassapersonalens förutsättningar

Sjöberg, Louise, Turesson, Linnéa January 2015 (has links)
Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att redogöra för hur kassapersonalens förutsättningar för att förhindra penningtvätt kan förklaras med hjälp av beslutsteorier. Teoretisk och empirisk metod: Forskningsmetoden för uppsatsen är kvalitativ, med en abduktiv ansats. Den för studien valda empiriska metoden är semi-strukturerade intervjuer där respondenterna är valda med hjälp av subjektivt urval samt ett så kallat snöbollsurval. Teoretisk referensram: Som bakgrund till studien ligger såväl internationella direktiv och rekommendationer som svensk reglering av penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism. Vi har också utgått från befintliga teorier kring regleringens betydelse, samt teorier om den riskbaserade regleringen. Den teoretiska referensramen innehåller dessutom tre olika beslutsteorier. Slutsats: Vår slutsats är att kassapersonalen anser sig ha de rätta förutsättningarna för att kunna förhindra penningtvätt. Men brister i hanteringen av penningtvätt visar att förutsättningarna inte är tillräckliga. / Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to describe how bank tellers have the opportunity to prevent money laundering by applying different decision theories. Theoretical and empirical method: The research method of the dissertation is qualitative, with an abductive approach. The chosen empirical method is semi-structured interviews where the respondents are selected with a subjective selction and a so called snowball selection. Theoretical approach: Behind the study are both international directives &amp; recommendations and Swedish statutory laws of money laundering and financing of terrorism. We have also originated from existing theories about the importance of the regulation and theories about the risk-based regulation. The theoretical approach also contains three different decision theories. Conclusion: Our conclusion is that bank tellers think they have the right opportunities to prevent money laundering. But flaws in the management of money laundering show that the prerequisites are not sufficient.

Verbreitung von Patientenverfügungen in Leipziger Alten- und Pflegeheimen

Kahlich, Franziska 12 May 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Kenntnis über Patientenverfügungen sowie deren Akzeptanz und dem Vorhandensein dieser Vorsorgedokumente innerhalb eines Studienkollektives von Senioren in Leipziger Alten- und Pflegeheimen. Der Gegenstand der Patientenverfügung selbst wird, unter Berücksichtigung soziodemographischer, persönlicher sowie gesundheitlicher Aspekte, evaluiert. Außerdem werden Standpunkte der Heimbewohner wie beispielsweise die Bereitschaft zu lebensverlängernden Therapien sowie zu Reanimationsmaßnahmen hinterfragt. Vor dem Hintergrund der Ergebnisse werden Lösungsmöglichkeiten diskutiert, welche die Grenze zwischen medizinisch-technisch Möglichen und ethisch Vertretbarem bezüglich der Entscheidungen am Lebensende regulieren können.

Adaptação transcultural do formulário POLST Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment /

Mayoral, Vânia Ferreira de Sá January 2016 (has links)
Orientador: Edison Iglesias de Oliveira Vidal / Resumo: No Brasil atual a maior parte dos profissionais e instituições de saúde ainda se encontram longe de constituírem uma rotina de discussão sobre preferências de cuidados no fim da vida junto a pacientes com prognóstico reservado. Esta corresponde a uma grande lacuna na atenção à saúde em nosso país, a qual frequentemente se associa a sofrimento evitável de pacientes e familiares. Em 1991 nos EUA foi iniciado um programa de discussão de preferências de cuidados no fim da vida denominado POLST (Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment). Trata-se de um sistema coordenado para evocar, documentar e comunicar as preferências de pacientes/familiares quanto a tratamentos prolongadores da vida para enfermos com expectativa de vida reduzida. Atualmente o POLST representa uma das melhor sucedidas estratégias para a elicitação e documentação de preferências de cuidados no fim da vida naquele país. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi realizar a Adaptação Transcultural (ATC) do formulário POLST para o contexto brasileiro. A metodologia de ATC baseou-se nas recomendações da International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research. Foram realizadas 3 traduções diretas e independentes do instrumento fonte para o português, as quais passaram por uma reunião de reconciliação de forma a gerar uma versão síntese. Essa versão foi submetida a duas traduções reversas para o inglês e posteriormente foi realizado um teste piloto do formulário com 20 médicos e 10 pacientes. Versões do instrument... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo) / Abstract: In Brazil most health care professionals and institutions still have not included discussions about preferences of care at the end of life with patients with decreased life expectancy as part of their daily routine. This represents a major gap for the care at the close of life in Brazil that is frequently associated with avoidable suffering of patients and their loved ones. In 1991 the Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) program was started in the USA. It embodies a coordinated system to elicit, record and communicate patients’ and families’ preferences about life-prolonging treatments for individuals with decreased life expectancy across a variety of health care settings. The POLST paradigm has spread across the USA and currently represents one of the most successful strategies to elicit and record preferences of care at the end of life in that country. The present research aimed to conduct the Cross-Cultural Adaptation (CCA) of the POLST form to the Brazilian context. The cross-cultural adaptation methodology was based on the principles of good practice for the translation and cultural adaptation process recommended by the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research. Three independent direct translations of the source instrument to Portuguese were performed. Those translations were synthesized into a single version after a reconciliation meeting. Two independent native English speakers performed 2 back translations of that version in... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

A legitimação bioética e jurídica das diretivas antecipadas sobre a terminalidade da vida no Brasil. / Bioethics and legal legitimacy of advance directives about the terminally life in Brazil.

Rafael Esteves 23 July 2015 (has links)
Este trabalho volta-se ao estudo das diretivas antecipadas sobre o fim da vida na relação médica no Brasil. Pretende-se verificar a legitimidade bioética e a legitimidade e possibilidade jurídicas da prática das diretivas antecipadas sobre o fim da vida como objetivo central. Busca-se aferir a adequação, bioética e jurídica, das diretivas antecipadas como veículo próprio de autodeterminação da pessoa diante de suas possibilidades existenciais e da formulação de seu projeto de vida e de morte digna. Ademais, especificamente, procura-se determinar a possibilidade jurídica das diretivas antecipadas no Ordenamento brasileiro: a coerência com as garantias constitucionais e a existência de institutos aptos a tal prática. Propõe-se sustentar a legitimação jurídica das diretivas antecipadas no Brasil, indicando possíveis caminhos às soluções interpretativas no plano jurídico, e os efeitos na relação médica a partir, também, das considerações bioéticas. Com essa finalidade, pretende-se averiguar a compatibilidade entre as normas deontológicas de origem bioética e as normas jurídicas de status constitucional de proteção à pessoa humana. A tese também propõe a análise do contexto em que as diretivas antecipadas são utilizadas para (i) problematizar as ideias de capacidade e competência para a prática desse ato de autonomia pessoal, (ii) problematizar sobre como a perspectiva familiar, a perspectiva técnica dos profissionais da saúde e a perspectiva do Poder Judiciário contingenciam a liberdade desse ato e (iii) aferir a eficácia desses atos no espaço clínico e familiar. Para tanto, será empreendido estudo teórico mediante pesquisa bibliográfica e de referências, que levantará as publicações, nacionais e internacionais, sobre os temas da tese. O levantamento bibliográfico compreenderá, preferencialmente, obras sobre filosofia, ética, bioética e direito, que permitam a análise das questões teóricas envolvidas no estudo. O desenvolvimento do trabalho estrutura-se em três capítulos. O primeiro pretende estabelecer as bases conceituais e os fundamentos legais das diretivas antecipadas. O segundo capítulo apresentará a sistematização entre os valores bioéticos e jurídicos que se relacionam a tal prática. O capítulo três apresentará as questões fundamentais pertinentes à validade e eficácia da prática das diretivas antecipadas no Brasil. A partir das premissas construídas ao longo do desenvolvimento, o desfecho da pesquisa pretende reforçar seu argumento central demonstrando, então, a legitimação bioética e a legitimidade e a possibilidade jurídicas das diretivas antecipadas sobre o fim da vida no atual contexto brasileiro.
