The purpose of this study is to investigate the difficulties newly arrived students encounter when they learn English, both from the perspective of students and of teachers, and how these difficulties materialise in the classroom. The study was carried out through interviews with teachers and newly arrived immigrant students on the language introductory program at an upper secondary school. Interviews were used to investigate teachers' and students' experiences and attitudes. The results show that the most significant difficulties the students encounter occur in connection with listening comprehension, and these appear when the students are tested in hearing comprehension. Important factors that influence students’ listening skills are, among other things, that the students learn two languages simultaneously, and also that they have not developed strategies for listening comprehension. It also emerged that both teachers and students use tools such as pictures in order to facilitate learning. Students also use Google to translate, to some extent. When examining both teachers' and students' responses, it was revealed that they have a negative attitude to learning Swedish and English simultaneously.  This is explained by the fact that they lose focus, and everything becomes confusing. In conclusion, the result shows that there are no advantages to having newly arrived students learn two languages at the same time. According to the participating teachers, the students must be well-grounded in the Swedish language before they start with English.

As diferentes técnicas cirúrgicas propostas para tratamento das recessões mostram resultados variáveis, especialmente em áreas de recessão profunda. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a efetividade da técnica de enxerto ósseo em neoformação (EONF) como uma alternativa de tratamento em recessões classe I ou II de Miller. Para tanto, foram selecionados indivíduos de ambos os sexos com idade entre 18 e 45 anos apresentando pelo menos um sítio com recessão >4mm e que apresentassem ao menos um dente condenado ou rebordo desdentado que possibilitasse confecção de alvéolo cirúrgico, (grupo teste). Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos, de acordo com o tratamento: teste (n=35)- técnica de EONF e controle (n=30)- enxerto de tecido conjuntivo subepitelial (ETCS). O exame clínico foi realizado por examinador único na visita inicial e 1, 3, 6 e 9 meses pós-operatórios, de acordo com as medidas de profundidade de sondagem (PS), nível de inserção clínica (NIC), recessão da margem gengival (R), sangramento à sondagem (SS), índice de placa (IPl) e quantidade de gengiva ceratinizada (GC). Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que as duas técnicas cirúrgicas são igualmente efetivas, segundo o teste t, na diminuição da recessão (-2,77±0,16 x -3,20±0,24; p=0,14). O EONF foi mais efetivo na redução da PS (-0,85±0,10 x 0,24±0,12; p<0,0001), SS (-0,65±0,21 x 0,00±0,13; p=0,01), IPl (-1,57±0,25 x 0,43±0,31; p<0,0001) e no ganho de inserção clínica (-3,74±0,26 x -2,95±0,19; p=0,024), mas menos efetivo no aumento da faixa de gengiva ceratinizada (0,48±0,13 x 1,43±0,17, p<0,0001). A análise intra-grupo mostrou que houve melhora significativa de todos os parâmetros clínicos (p<0,05; ANOVA) nos grupos teste e controle, com exceção do IPI (p=0,577), SS (p=2,19) e PS (p=1,05) no grupo controle. Esses resultados sugerem que a técnica de granulação óssea é efetiva para o tratamento de recessões gengivais profundas, possibilitando redução da recessão e, possivelmente, regeneração dos tecidos periodontais. / Different surgical techniques have been proposed for root coverage, showing varying results, especially in areas of extense recessions. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the newly forming bone technique (NFB) as an alternative treatment of Millers class I or II recessions. Both gender patients aged 18-45 years presenting at least one site with recession >4 mm and one condemned tooth or edentulous ridge allowing the surgical creation of an alveolus (test group) were selected. The sample was divided into two groups, according to the root coverage procedure: test (n=35) - NFB and control (n=30)- subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG). Clinical examinations were performed by a single trained examiner at baseline and 1, 3, 6 and 9 months after surgery according to probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), recession (R), bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque index (PI) and keratinized gingiva width (KG). The analysis by t test have shown that both techniques are effective in the reduction of recession (-2,77±0,16 x - 3,20±0,24; p=0,14). The NFB technique was more effective in the reduction of PD (-0,85±0,10 x 0,24±0,12; p<0,0001), BOP (-0,65±0,21 x 0,00±0,13; p=0,01), PI (-1,57±0,25 x 0,43±0,31; p<0,0001) and gain of CAL (-3,74±0,26 x - 2,95±0,19; p=0,024), but less effective in the increase of KG width (0,48±0,13 x 1,43±0,17, p<0,0001). Intra-group analysis showed a significant improvement of all clinical parameters (p<0,05; ANOVA) for both groups, except for PI (p=0,4267), BOP (p=2,19) and PD (p=1,05) in control group. These results suggest that the NFB technique is effective to the treatment of large recession defects, allowing the reduction of recession and, possibly, regeneration of periodontal tissues.

Background: The transition from trainee to newly-registered (novice) practitioner is regarded as the most stressful and challenging of time of a healthcare professional's career. Community pharmacists are unusual in that they transition into roles where they commonly work as the sole pharmacist, manage a team of support staff and are accountable from day one of professional registration (without any formal support structure), yet little research exists in this area. This study aimed to identify the transition challenges faced by novice community pharmacists and to develop and feasibility test an evidence-based intervention to ease their transitions to independent practitioners. Methods: Medical Research Council guidance for developing complex interventions was used to frame this programme of work. During development, evidence from existing literature and an exploratory nominal group study identified and prioritised the challenges faced by novice community pharmacists. Findings informed the iterative design process for a peer-coaching intervention with the following components; a social media group, one-to-one coaching, a handbook, group activities and weekly clinical/practice scenarios for group discussion. Twelve novice community pharmacists were recruited purposively to participate in the draft intervention, which was evaluated using semi-structured telephone interviews. Results: Twenty-five participants took part in homogenous group discussions consisting of novice community pharmacists, early career pharmacists, pre-registration tutors and pharmacy colleagues. Similarly to challenges reported by novice doctors and nurses, nominal group discussions identified the following challenges [in order of importance]; relationship management; lack of confidence; decision-making; being in charge and accountable; and adapting to the workplace. Relationship management was attributed to novices' lack of affective skills. There were some differences however in the challenges reported by novice community pharmacists, such as power struggles (with managers or pharmacy colleagues), inverse hierarchy, professional isolation, target culture and full immediate accountability. A number of factors perpetuating these differences were perceived to increase the weight of professional accountability and augment stress; the retail community pharmacy context, the relative lack of support and isolation from peers. Hence, the draft intervention focussed on supporting the novice community pharmacist to develop cognitive and affective skills. All participants viewed the social media forum as the most valuable component because it provided a confidential space for reassurance, feedback, and sharing or discussing practice experiences. Participants also valued one-to-one discussions with the coach, which supported meaningful reflection and developing self-awareness. Outcomes reported by all participants included increased self-efficacy, increased confidence in decision-making/managing others, an increased sense of preparedness and the ability to cope during transition. Through group components, novice community pharmacists developed and reported feeling less isolated in the workplace. Conclusions: This novel programme of work revealed the challenges faced by novice community pharmacists during transition. Findings suggest that a lack of affective and cognitive skills, the demands of the job and professional isolation caused novices to experience psychosocial stress and high job strain. A group peer-coaching intervention designed to ease the transitions of novice community pharmacists was reported to be acceptable, feasible and beneficial. Study findings led to some recommendations for transition support interventions: incorporate psychosocial support with developmental activities; provide a supportive learning space for developmental discourse that is accessible facilitated and structured; and offer coaching and supported reflection from an experienced pharmacist coach.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo fazer um estudo compreensivo clínico das vivências emocionais da gestante de alto risco com o diagnóstico de Diabetes Gestacional (DG). Realizamos a pesquisa no Centro de Parto Humanizado e Obstetrícia do Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual de São Paulo, Francisco Morato de Oliveira (IAMSPE). Fundamentamo-nos na leitura das Obras Completas de Sigmund Freud, Melanie Klein, Donald W. Winnicott, autores que trazem importantes contribuições teóricas para a psicanálise contemporânea. A avaliação foi feita, em entrevistas clínicas antes do nascimento do recém-nascido, com a aplicação do Teste das Relações Objetais de Phillipson, (TRO), técnica projetiva usada como instrumento facilitador do contato terapêutico e mediador do trabalho interventivo no contexto diagnóstico. As gestantes com Diabetes foram acompanhadas até a sala de parto e durante o puerpério, tiveram seguimento, em Consultas Terapêuticas no sentido de buscar suporte e propiciar alívio para o sofrimento de ver o seu bebê recém-nascido, internado em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN). O resultado revelou que este teste, utilizado como mediador do diagnóstico, facilitou a comunicação com o mundo interno da paciente e fez aumentar a compreensão dos problemas vividos pelas gestantes de alto risco com DG. Chegamos à conclusão de que a Compreensão Clínica e as Consultas Terapêuticas são formas de atendimento às gestantes diabéticas que contribuem para a evolução clínica das pacientes e são adequadas ao contexto hospitalar / This assignment has as a goal the comprehensive clinical study of the emotional experience of righ risk pregnant women with the diagnosis of gestational diabetes (GD). We performed this research consulting the Humanized Pregnant and Obstetric Center of Hospital of Publish State Servant of São Paulo, Francisco Morato de Oliveira- IAMSPE. We based our thesis on Sigmund Freud, Melanie Klein and Donald W, Winnicott, authors who have given an important contribution to contemporary psychoanalysis. The evaluation was performed in clinical interwies before the birth of the baby with the application of the Objective Relations Test, by Phillipson (ORT). This is a projective technique used as a facilitator instrument for therapeutic contact and as a mediator process of the interventive work, as well as the diagnostic source. The diabetic pregnant women were accompanied to the delivery room and during the puerperal they had follow up in Therapeutic Consultations with the aim to support and relieve the suffering of seeing their newly born babies in a New born Intensive Therapy Unite (UTIN). The results revealed that this test, used as a process mediator, facilitated communication with the internal world of the patient and the understanding of anxiety experienced by the high risk patients with gestational diabetes. We reached the conclusion that the Clinical Understanding and Therapeutic Consultant are forms of dealing with diabetic pregnant women, making the clinical evolution easier and the Test (ORT) are also appropriated to a hospital context

<p>Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka studie- och yrkesvägledarens roll i skolintroduktionen för nyanlända invandrarungdomar i gymnasieåldern. Studie- och yrkesvägledare har intervjuats i fem kommuner i Stockholms län. Utifrån ett kvalitativt tillvägagångssätt vill vi undersöka studie- och yrkesväledarens roll i skolverksamheten och dess ramar. Resultatet visar att studie- yrkesvägledarna upplevde att samverkan och tidsaspekten var begränsande faktorer i introduktionsarbetet. Det framkom även hur de yttre och inre ramar påverkar kommuner och skolverksamheter, vilka ses som hinder. Uppsatsen tydliggör vikten av att en nationell strategi för skolintroduktion för nyanlända invandrarungdomar behövs.</p><p>The purpose of this study is to elucidate the role of guidance counsellor for newly arrived immigrants of 16 - 20 years of age. The study has been taking place in five municipalities in Stockholm County, where counsellors have been interviewed. A qualitative attempt has been used to illuminate the counsellors role in school activity and there frames. The result shows that the counsellors experienced co- operation and time aspect as limitation factors in the work with school introduction. The result also told that the internal and external frames influence the local goverment and school activity in a limitation form. The study expresses the impotance of a national strategy for school introduction of newly arrived immigrants.</p>

<p>För att bli en demokratisk medborgare behövs kunnande i matematik, då samhällsinformation ska förstås och kritiskt kunna granskas för att ha möjlighet att fatta välgrundade vardagsbeslut. Denna kunskap behövs även för fortsatta studier samt för att få ett fungerande yrkesliv. Fenomenet matematik¬undervisning kan av olika lärare beskrivas, upplevas och uppfattas på kvalitativt skilda sätt. Studiens syfte var att undersöka och beskriva nyexaminerade lärares uppfattningar av fenomenet matematikundervisning samt att nå en ökad förståelse för och kunskap om nyexaminerade lärares första tid som lärare i matematik. Studiens fenomenografiska ansats var kvalitativt analytisk och beskrivande. Ett strategiskt urval har gjorts, där sex lärare har intervjuats. Den kvalitativa forskningsintervjun transkriberades och analyserades, vilket ledde till studiens resultat i form av beskrivnings¬kategorier. Den överordnade beskrivningskategorin var legitimitet, vilket i sin tur beskrevs på tre kvalitativt skilda sätt, som att legitimitet formellt tillskrivs, att legitimitet förvärvas samt att legitimitet tilldelas. Dessa beskrivningskategorier motsvarade studiens kvalitativa variation. Slutsatsen blev att legitimitet påverkade den nyexaminerade lärarens matematikundervisning samt relationen med övriga matematiklärare.</p>

<p>The objective with this study is to investigate the school introduction of newly arrived students, by focusing on the latter years of high school, by comparing two schools method of working.</p><p>This was done by a qualitative survey based on half structured interviews and existing school documentation.</p><p>The questions of the study targeted the schools method of working, how well the education was adapted to the students and if it was appropriate to them. We also asked about the school resources to meet the need of the newly arrived students. </p><p>Our theoretical assumptions were based on Haugs’ terms “including integration” and “excluding integration”, Lahdenperäs’ theory about intercultural education, Vygotskijs thoughts about adapted education and finally Blossings’ description of different cooperative cultures. Our results showed that school introduction for newly arrived students were formed from the schools’ view on learning development and adapted education. The schools knowledge about and approach to intercultural education, the competence and engagement of the leaders had all a great importance to how the school formed its education. The school with the most intercultural elements also had a more cooperative culture, efficient way of working and more resources to adapt the education to the students’ backgrounds, preconditions and needs. </p>

<p>The essay aims to highlight the newly arrived immigrant students’ experience of social integration and social security in the Swedish school system, which is important for their further language and learning development. This essay aims to see it from the student's perspective. The main question in this essay is: What factors seem to matter the most for the newly arrived immigrant students in their language and learning skills, and what does the students themselves think about the issue? The study is based on a qualitative research method in the form of interviews and observations conducted in a multicultural school for a period of two weeks. Three newly-arrived students are in this essay being observed while they are attending between two different classrooms: the so-called preparation classroom and the ordinary classroom. This essay aims to highlight a newly arrived student's development from a socio-cultural perspective. The results show that the newly arrived students felt more emotionally secure while attending the preparation classrooms, and while attending the ordinary classrooms they felt more inadequate.</p>
