Syftet med denna uppsats var att ta reda på vilka arbetssätt och bemötande professionella använder gentemot klienter med självmordstankar. Uppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ intervjustudie där fem professionella som i sitt arbete möter klienter med självmordstankar varit delaktiga. Resultat visade att professionella använder sig av kartläggande samtal, bedömningsformulär, samtal och uppföljning i arbetet med dessa klienter. De professionella uppgav att det viktigaste i bemötandet är att lyssna, våga fråga, låta klienten berätta och visa att man finns där för klienten. Resultatet förväntades bidra till ökad kunskap om arbetssätt och bemötande gentemot klienter med självmordstankar för oss socialarbetare. Detta för att vi upplevde att vi saknade specifik utbildning i ämnet inom socionomutbildningen. / The aim of this study was to investigate the existing types of working methods and approaches used by professionals on clients with suicidal thoughts. Through interviews with five professionals who meet clients with suicidal thoughts, data were collected for a qualitative study. The result suggested that the working methods used by these professionals are mapping based on therapy talk, evaluation forms, talks and follow-ups. The professionals treat their clients by listening, having the courage to ask questions about suicide, to allow the client to narrate their story and to be there for the client. The results are expected to contribute to increasing our knowledge as social workers on working methods and approaches towards clients with suicidal thoughts. Our choice was based on the lack of specific training on that field within the study program in social work.

Therefore, we follow the hipotesis that the body has a place not yet explored by the cinema s theory, although in pratic it presents precious exercices of different forms of representation, in the context of the organizational modes of gestures and images created in the body and from the body. Cinema presents itself as a media complex enough to discuss movement in general and, at the same time, to colaborate with the specific research for the body s place in the film. Along the text, we suggest that studying the body in movement means to recognize it as a communication processor in the cinematographic scene. We propose to conduct the modes of construction of the filmic narrative, exposing three distinct resourses of body appropriation in the creation of sense: when the place of the body is represented by the camera, when it organises itself in the character s body, and when it is presented in the film locations. Besides an historical and conceptual introduction which proposes an unique taxonomy of the representations of the body in the movies, the Monograph presents two Chapters. In the first one, it analyses one single film, where the body thinkings not only iluminate well these three places, but also seam to create and conduct the narrative, being extended to other bodies in scene that conduct our perception and determine an aesthetics and a film composition that are singular. This is the Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne film, Le fils ( The son , 2002). In the second chapter we develop a creative exercise of video-art, which language porposes new discussions and contributions for the understanding of the image construction of a thought in movement: Brevidade ( Brief , 2005). As a methodology, we work with specific intertheoric conexions, from the research of specialists as Jacques Aumont (1997), François Jost and André Gaudreault (1990), José Lino Grunewald, Philippe Dubois and Arlindo Machado (2004), and from the investigations of a few concepts studied by the neurocientists António Damasio (1999), Rodolfo Llinás (2003) and Gerald Edelman (2003), redimensioned by the philosophers Gilles Deleuze (1984, 2000), George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (2001) and by the researchers Helena Katz and Christine Greiner (2005), in what is related to the body studies specificaly as an object of communication. In the many possible conections that could be developed, we emphasize the topics refered to the studies of time, of movement, of the creation of internal images and of the body transit with the ambient. It is about a theorical -practical exercise that selects informations in the academic and scientific texts in order to bring them to an artistic and communicational context, through a theoric intersection and a creative propose, aiming to get started a process that shall be continued in a Doctorship, in the sense of turning the cinema studies disposable to researchers from other areas, and therefore extending not only the cinema s perspectives but its own language. / Inspirados pela proposta do filósofo Gilles Deleuze segundo a qual o elemento do cinema é o gesto e não a imagem, propomos o pensamento-ação do corpo como o modo de organização do filme. Para tanto, partimos da hipótese de que o corpo tem um lugar ainda não devidamente abordado pela teoria do cinema, embora a prática apresente exercícios preciosos de diferentes formas de representação, no contexto dos modos de organização dos gestos e das imagens criadas no corpo e a partir dele. O cinema apresenta-se como uma mídia suficientemente complexa para discutir o movimento em geral e, ao mesmo tempo, para colaborar com a pesquisa específica de buscar o lugar do corpo no filme. No decorrer do texto, sugerimos que estudar o corpo em movimento é reconhecê-lo como processador de comunicação na cena cinematográfica. Propomos conduzir os modos de construção da narrativa fílmica, expondo três recursos distintos de apropriação do corpo na criação de sentido: quando o lugar do corpo no filme está representado pela câmera, quando se organiza no corpo do personagem, e quando se apresenta na paisagem fílmica. Além de uma introdução histórica e conceitual que propõe uma taxonomia inédita das representações do corpo no filme, a dissertação apresenta dois capítulos. No primeiro, analisa um único filme, onde o pensamento do corpo não só ilumina bem estes três lugares propostos, como parece criar e conduzir a narrativa, estendendo-se a outros corpos em cena que dirigem nossa percepção e determinam uma estética e uma composição singulares. Trata-se da obra de Jean-Pierre e Luc Dardenne, O Filho (Le fils, 2002). No segundo capítulo, fazemos um exercício de criação em video, cuja linguagem propõe novas discussões e contribuições para o entendimento da construção de imagens a partir de um pensamento em movimento: Brevidade (2005). Como metodologia, trabalhamos com cruzamentos interteóricos específicos, a partir das pesquisas de especialistas como Jacques Aumont (1997), François Jost e André Gaudreault (1990), José Lino Grunewald, Phillippe Dubois e Arlindo Machado (2004); e das investigações de alguns conceitos estudados pelos neurocientistas António Damasio (1999), Rodolfo Llinás (2003) e Gerald Edelman (2003), redimensionados pelos filósofos Gilles Deleuze (1984, 2000), George Lakoff e Mark Johnson (2001) e pelas pesquisadoras Helena Katz e Christine Greiner (2005) no que se refere especificamente aos estudos do corpo como objeto da comunicação. Dentre as inúmeras conexões que poderiam ser estudadas, destacamos os tópicos referentes ao estudos do tempo, do movimento, da criação de imagens internas e dos trânsitos com o ambiente. Trata-se, portanto, de um exercício teórico-prático para selecionar informações dos textos acadêmicos e científicos e trazê-los ao contexto artístico e comunicacional, através de uma interseção teórica e uma proposta criativa, cujo objetivo principal é iniciar um processo que deverá ser continuado no doutorado, no sentido de tornar os estudos do cinema disponíveis a pesquisas realizadas em outros campos, repensando, assim, sob outra perspectiva, a sua própria linguagem.

Bakgrund: Prostatacancer är den vanligaste formen av cancer bland män i Sverige. Att få en cancerdiagnos innebär stress för både patienten och dess partner.Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka grad av stressreaktioner i form av undvikande beteende och påträngande tankar hos patienter med prostatacancer och deras partner. Ytterligare ett syfte var att kvalitetssäkra mätinstrumentets formulering och svarsalternativ.Metod: Arbetet var en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie. Datainsamlingen gjordes med hjälp av enkät “Impact of Event Scale” (IES) samt en enkät utformad enligt “The Question and Answer Model” (QAM) för att kvalitetssäkra IES. Enkäterna delades ut på kirurg- och onkologmottagningar i Uppsala och Falun under våren 2013. Studiens inklusionskriterier var att de patienter som tillfrågades vid ankomst till mottagningarna hade prostatacancer och en partner (n = 34). 12 respondenter deltog. Data analyserades deskriptivt och med Mann- Whitey-test.Resultat: Det visade sig att patienter (n = 6) med prostatacancer har måttlig grad av stressreaktioner i form av undvikande beteende. Partner (n = 6) till patienter med prostatacancer visade sig ha kraftig grad av stressreaktioner i form av påträngande tankar. Det gick inte att se någon signifikant skillnad mellan patienter och partners grad av stress. Majoriteten av deltagarna i studien (n = 11) var säkra på sina svar i enkät IES.Slutsats: Partners tycks ha en högre grad av stress än patienter med prostatacancer, vilket går i linje med liknande studiers resultat. Interventioner för att nå denna grupp och se till dess behov är önskvärt. Fler studier fodras. Det övergripande resultatet tyder på att mätinstrumentet IES är av god kvalitet och mäter det som är avsett att mätas. / Background: Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer among men in Sweden.Getting a cancer diagnosis is stressful for both the patient and their partner.Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the degree of stress responses in the form of avoidance behavior and intrusive thoughts in patients with prostate cancer and their partners. Another purpose was to assure the quality and design of the measuring instrument and its response options.Method: The study had a quantitative cross-sectional design. The data was collected using the questionnaire "Impact of Event Scale" (IES) and by a questionnaire framed according to "The Question and Answer Model" (QAM) to safeguard the quality of the IES. Questionnaires were distributed at surgical and oncology clinics in Uppsala and Falun during the spring of 2013. Inclusion criteria for the study were patients with prostate cancer and their partners (n = 34). 12 respondents participated. The data were analyzed descriptively and with Mann-Whitey test.Results: It was found that patients (n = 6) with prostate cancer have moderate degree of stress responses in the form of avoidance behavior. Partners (n = 6) were found to have strong degree of stress responses in the form of intrusive thoughts. Any significant difference between patients and partners dit not appear. The majority of study participants (n = 11) were confident of their answers in the IES.Conclusion: Partners seem to have a higher level of stress than patients with prostate cancer, which is in line with similar studies' results. Interventions to reach this group and ensure its need is desirable. More studies are lined. The overall results indicate that the measuring instrument IES is of good quality and are measuring the concepts that it indicate to measure.

The main aim of the present study was to better understand the influence of nationality/religious affiliation and degree of religious devoutness on OCD symptoms, more specifically scrupulosity symptoms and beliefs by comparing the Turkish Muslim students with the Canadian Christians who show different degrees of religiosity. To clarify the effect of religiosity on OCD symptomatology, Bible school and Divinity school students were included in the present study as an extreme religious group. Furthermore, the present study was aimed to examine the cross-cultural differences in the prevalence, content, appraisal and control of intrusions, using a structured interview methodology. Religiosity, guilt and scrupulosity scales and interview schedule were adapted into Turkish. The analyses revealed that the psychometric properties of the adapted measurements were satisfactory. Then, the effect of religiosity and religious affiliation on the experience of OCD symptoms, scrupulosity, and OCD relevant beliefs were examined via univariate and multivariate analyses. Results revealed that the effect of religiosity and nationality were significant for general distress. Results also revealed that regardless of nationality, high religious individuals reported higher degree of OCD and scrupulosity symptoms, and dysfunctional obsessive beliefs than low religious ones. The effect of religiosity on OCD and scrupulosity symptoms differed by religious affiliation. High religious Muslim students reported higher degree of compulsions, and fear of God symptoms than high religious Christians. Furthermore, religiosity and nationality affected obsessive beliefs differently. Turkish students reported higher level of perfectionism and intolerance for uncertainty in comparison with Canadian students. These results were supported by subsequent regression analyses. Furthermore, interview data showed that except for the frequency of the intrusions, the content of the intrusions was almost universal, and frequency and distress as a response to intrusions is very low in the normal population. Nationality and degree of religiosity revealed some minor differences in primary and secondary appraisals, and control strategies. These factors were specifically significant for religious and sexual intrusions. Results suggested that the religious affiliation and degree of religiosity may provide content for intrusions, rather being a causal factor. Keywords: Intrusive thoughts, Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms, Faulty belief domains and appraisal, Religiosity and Religious Affiliation

While there has been research on development of multiplicative reasoning, and how to teach multiplication facts, there is little research on how children consider they learn these. This study explores the children's learning as they consider how they commit their multiplication facts to memory, discover calculation strategies and develop multiplicative thinking. A group of eleven Year 4 children (8 years old) participated in a series of 13 lessons where they became coresearchers in the exploration of their learning. A contextually based thematic approach was provided through 'Crocodilian Studies'. The mixed-method approach to this study included formal assessment, participant observation, individual interviews, the children's written ideas, and individual case studies. The most significant finding of this study was the powerful influence of peer learning. The children enriched and directed each other's learning as they shared ideas and reflected on their own mathematical learning as they observed and critiqued the thinking of peers. As the children were involved in thinking about how they learn they were able to identify gaps and construct their own learning pathways. A significant finding was that children can develop their multiplicative strategies while they commit their multiplication facts to memory, in a relatively short time provided that the learning process facilitates strategy development and understanding. By exposing the children to multiplication facts in sequenced clusters provided them with a manageable number of facts to be learnt at one time. Another finding related to how children develop calculation strategies through lesson activities rather than being explicitly taught them. The children considered practice important for memorisation. Parental support was significant in enriching the children's learning.

Sammanfattning Bakgrund Att minska matsvinnet är en viktig del i arbetet mot att nå en hållbar utveckling. Utsläpp av växthusgaser och övergödning sker i alla produktionsled i livsmedelskedjan från producent till konsument och utgör en negativ klimatpåverkan. Livsmedelsbutiker har en betydelsefull roll eftersom de hanterar stora mängder varor och tillhandahåller mat till många hushåll. Forskning finns om typ och omfattning av matsvinn slänger men få studier har belyst hur chefer och personal i livsmedelsbutik upplever och tänker kring ämnet. Syfte Syftet var att undersöka upplevelser och tankar kring matsvinn hos butikschefer samt anställda i livsmedelsbutiker. Metod Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ studie där butikschefer och anställda vid åtta livsmedelsbutiker intervjuades. Datamaterialet transkriberades och analyserades därefter med kvalitativ innehållsanalys enligt Graneheim och Lundman. Resultat  Matsvinn sågs som ett problemområde som deltagarna upplevde svårt att motverka. De beskrev det som ett etiskt dilemma när fullgod mat kastas och det samtidigt finns svält och en miljö som belastas. Det fanns faktorer utanför livsmedelsbutikernas kontroll som gjorde arbetet med matsvinn besvärligt. Ekonomi var enligt deltagarna betydande för livsmedelsbutikers överlevnad och de upplevde minskat svinn som en möjlighet till att spara pengar. Andra betydelsefulla faktorer för att motverka matsvinnet hos livsmedelsbutikerna var rätt hantering och goda rutiner. Kunskap upplevdes bidra till att minska matsvinn och därför ansåg deltagarna att den borde öka hos både anställda och kunder. Tanken om samarbete med producenter upplevdes som god men däremot svårt gällande konkurrenter.   Slutsats Denna studie har påvisat att matsvinn är ett komplext ämne eftersom det samexisterar med svält och miljöpåfrestningar. Det är bra om livsmedelsbutiker ändrar sina attityder gällande samarbete för att möjliggöra gemensamma åtgärder mot matsvinn. Möjligheten att tjäna pengar driver butikerna till handling. Livsmedelsbutikerna bör utforma bättre och rakare direktiv till personal och kunder för en bättre hantering och minskat matsvinn. / Abstract Background Reducing the amount of food waste is an important factor in achieving sustainable development. Grocery stores play important roles since they handle large amounts of groceries and provide food for numerous households. Studies concerning what and which amounts grocery stores throw away exist. However, few studies have examined how personnel in grocery stores experience and think about the subject.  Objective The aim was to examine managers and employee’s experiences and thoughts about food waste at grocery stores. Method The study was conducted as a qualitative study where interviews with managers and employees at eight grocery stores were carried out. The data material was transcribed and analyzed with content analysis according to Graneheim and Lundman. Results Food waste was seen as a problem area that participants believed was difficult to avert. They described it like an ethical dilemma when food is thrown and at the same time people are starving and the environment is affected. There are external factors that affect the stores, and thus can make working with food waste difficult. The financial matter was an important factor for the survival of supermarkets and it was found that the participants’ main reason for reducing food waste was the opportunity to save money. Other factors to reduce food waste were proper handling and good routines. Adequate knowledge was something that contributed to lower food waste and therefore participants found it should increase in both staff and customers. The idea of​​cooperationwith producersperceived asgoodbutdifficultcurrentcompetitors. Conclusion This study has shown that food waste is a complex issue as it coexists with starvation and environmental stress. Grocery stores ought to change their attitudes regarding cooperation to enable joint actions against food waste. The possibility to save money drives the participants to act. The best way to minimize food waste is to educate personnel and to make more precise orders based on the actual demand.
