Egen erfarenhet av klinisk praktik inom såväl sjuksköterskeutbildning som intensivvårdsutbildning samt som handledare för studenter i grund och specialistutbildning inom intensivvård visar på att mötet och samspelet mellan hand- ledare och student är betydelsefullt för det fortsatta yrkeslivet. Hur kan den kliniska utbildningen förbättras? Jag anser att det är av största vikt att ta reda på hur studenterna upplever sin situation för att hjälpa handledarna under den kliniska utbildningen att ge det stöd studenterna har behov av. Om studenthandledningen förbättras blir intensivvårdsjuksköterskorna tryggare i sin yrkesroll, detta kommer patienterna tillgodo genom förbättrad omvårdnad. I bakgrunden finns en miljöbeskrivning av intensivvården, en beskrivning av student- handledning och tidigare forskning inom området.Syftet är att belysa vad nyfärdiga intensivvårdsjuksköterskor upplever att de behöver stöd med för att utvecklas till intensivvårdsjuksköterskor under studenthandledning i den kliniska utbildningen.Studien har genomförts i form av intervjuer och analyserats utifrån en fenomenologisk ansats på livsvärldsteoretiskgrund. Resultatet beskrivs i form av en essens: att stöd innebär ”att stå bakom” följt av fem innebördselement som i sina delar belyser hur den nyfärdiga intensivvårdsjuksköterskan erfar stöd.Vald metod diskuteras samt att jag lyfter delar av resultatet mot tidigare forskning inom studenthandledning i klinisk utbildning i diskussions avsnittet. / <p>Program: Fristående kurs</p><p>Uppsatsnivå: D</p>

Varje dag diagnostiseras kvinnor med bröstcancer. Denna diagnos kan påverka kvinnans upplevelse av sin sexualitet. Kvinnans sexualitet kan beskrivas utifrån följande termer: liv, lust och gemenskap, där kvinnans subjektiva kropp, självbild, identitet, kvinnlighet, intimitet, reproduktion samt stöd och andlighet ingår. Syftet är att ta reda på hur kvinnor upplever sin sexualitet under tiden som de behandlas för bröstcancer. Metoden som används är en litteraturstudie. Åtta artiklar valdes ut, granskades och analyserades. Resultatet presenteras i form av tre huvudteman det vill säga ”liv”, ”lust” och ”gemenskap”. Under ”liv” beskrivs kvinnors upplevelse av sin subjektiva kropp, identitet, medan ”lust” tar upp kvinnors upplevelse av sin sexuella lust, kvinnlighet och reproduktion. I avsnittet ”gemenskap” beskrivs kvinnors upplevelse av intimitet, stöd och andlighet. Resultatet visar att kvinnors kropp förändras under behandlingen, vilket påverkar deras upplevelse av sig själva som kvinnliga och sexuellt attraktiva. Deras förändrade upplevelse av sin sexualitet påverkar deras relationer till partners. Kvinnor har behov av att tala om hur de upplever sin sexualitet med sjukvården under tiden som de behandlas för bröstcancer. Dock visade vårt resultat att kvinnorna upplevde att de inte togs på allvar när de talade med sjukvården om hur de upplevde sin sexualitet under behandlingstiden. Flertalet studier både bekräftar och motsäger det innehåll som denna litteraturstudie uttryckt, nämligen att kvinnornas upplevelse och uppfattning av sig själva som feminina, attraktiva och lustfyllda påverkas under tiden som behandling för cancer pågår. / Program: Sjuksköterskeutbildning

Neste trabalho, estuda-se o comportamento crítico de spins de Ising colocados em três tipos de rede elástica: uma rede rígida de volume variável (Ll): uma rede cujas posições dos íons podem variar, sem tensão de cisalhamento (L2); uma rede do tipo \"colchão de molas\", com acoplamento elástico entre primeiros e segundos vizinhos (L3). Verificamos que o acoplamento spin-rede pode ser simulado por uma interação efetiva de longo alcance entre pares de spins, em vários casos. Nas hamiltonianas correspondentes, a integral de troca dos spins é considerada linearmente dependente da distância inter-iônica e a interação elástica é considerada apenas na aproximação harmônica. Mostramos que o coeficiente do termo de quatro spins, que representa a interação magneto-elástica na hamiltoniana efetiva de spins, tem sinal diferente para as flutuações elásticas microscópicas (na posição dos íons) e macroscópicas (de volume). O efeito dessa interação efetiva é alterar os expoentes críticos da transição magnética no primeiro caso, renormalizando-os, e transformar a transição contínua em uma transição de primeira ordem, no segundo caso. Em um sistema real, ambos os tipos de flutuação estão presentes e os dois efeitos competem entre si para determinar a ordem da transição. No modelo (L3), o mais \"realista\" entre os três estudados, os efeitos de volume predominam. Entretanto, não é possível fazer previsões para outros modelos específicos, pois os dois efeitos são da mesma ordem de grandeza. Estudamos, ainda, o efeito sobre a hamiltoniana efetiva de spins de se alterar as condições de contorno, assim como de se alterar o valor do spin, no caso do segundo modelo (L2 ). Para prever a ordem da transição, as hamiltonianas efetivas de spin são analisadas no contexto de campo médio, de grupo de renormalização e de uma solução exata em duas dimensões. / We study the critical behavior of Ising S=1/2 spins on three compressible lattices: a compressible but rigid lattice (Ll): an elastic lattice without shearing forces (L2) and a \"spring mattress\", with elastic couplings between nearest and next-nearest neighbors (L3). The corresponding hamiltonians contain an exchange interaction linearly dependent on the interionic distance and an elastic interaction considered in the harmonic approximation. We show that both pure macroscopic (volume) and pure microscopic (ion position) fluctuations lead to a pair-pair interaction term in the effective spin hamiltonian. However, the coefficient of this additional term is negative in the first case, which turns the transition first order, and positive in the second case, which renormalizes the critical exponents. In a real system, both kinds of fluctuation are present and the two effects will compete. Model (L3), the closest to the above condition, has the volume effect as predominant. The delicate balance between the competing effects of the same order of magnitude forbid a prediction for other models. We also show that different effective spin Hamiltonians may be arrived at according to the choice of boundary condition of or ensemble. In one case (L2), we also consider spin S =1. We use mean-field, an exact solution for dimensionalty two and momentum space renormalization group to predict the order of the transitions.

Este trabalho ocupa-se das áreas inferiores de viadutos, os chamados baixios. Tratados quase sempre pelo poder público e pela literatura acadêmica como espaços residuais,os baixios de viadutos não foram considerados historicamente como recursos territoriais passíveis de utilização pública. Mas, como na metrópole não existem espaços inteiramente desocupados, os baixios exibem usos e ocupações, ainda que pautados na informalidade. Diversos grupos fazem desses territórios locais de encontros e de atividades no curso diário de suas vidas, dotando-os, ao transgredir seu uso original, de qualidades não previstas.Ao analisar os usos e as ocupações nos baixios dos viadutos Alcântara Machado e do Glicério, em São Paulo, esta dissertação procura mostrar a complexidade de territórios que, justamente por serem intersticiais, constituíram-se como oportunidades para atuações espontâneas promovidas por atores sociais. Ao inserir e manter iniciativas nos baixios, esses atores conseguiram estabelecer ali espaços públicos. A literatura acadêmica tem demonstrado que a apropriação do espaço público pode gerar um senso de coletividade a partir de sua gestão, caso ela seja compartilhada. Esta dissertação contrastou as iniciativas de uso dos baixios com a conceituação de \"commons\" presente no debate contemporâneo sobre o assunto, em que a ação voluntária e a autoresponsabilização permitem a mobilização de recursos para a ocupação. A escolha dos baixios, áreas da cidade onde a ocupação espontânea é relativamente antiga, teve como objetivo gerar subsídios para a compreensão de10processos mais recentes de qualificação e de ativação dos espaços públicos, ou \"comuns urbanos\", apoiados no ideal do \"bem comum\". Esses processos ainda são vistos como fenômenos precários e/ou transitórios, embora tenham potencial para gerar possibilidades efetivas de uso e para tornar seus promotores agentes aptos a exercer papel mais ativo na ordenação do espaço urbano. / The present study focuses on the residual areas under viaducts. Often seen by city councils and academic literature only as residual spaces, these areas have not been historically considered as resources suitable for public use. Nonetheless, as there is no such a thing as completely vacant land in the metropolis, the residual area bellow viaducts do show some use and occupations, even though non formal; different groups use such territories as places for gathering and other activities. By subverting their purported use (or non-use), they fill them with unexpected qualities. By analyzing uses and occupations in the areas bellow Alcântara Machado and Glicério viaducts in the city of São Paulo, this dissertation aims at demonstrating the complexity of these portions of the municipality territory which, for the very reason of being interstitial, became opportunities for spontaneous actions and projects developed by different social stakeholders. By introducing and maintaining initiatives in these \"baixios\" (as such spaces are called in Brazil) these social stakeholders were able to stablish public spaces on them. The academic literature has demonstrated that this kind of appropriation of common but non-used space in the city can generate a sense of community deriving from its management, provided it is performed in a collective manner. The present work analyzed such initiatives by confronting them with the concept of \"commons\" applied in recent studies about this subject in which spontaneous and self-12responsible action enabled the mobilization of such territories resources into urban occupations. The \"baixios\" where chosen for investigation as they have been historically occupied in as spontaneous fashion in São Paulo. For this reason, they have the potential to illuminate more recent processes of public space qualification and activation aiming at the common good.

This diploma thesis The issues of juvenile criminal justice focuses on the area of juvenile criminal law which is a specific area of criminal law due to a necessity of a particular attitude towards youth. The legal regulation of the juvenile criminal law is incorporated particularly in ActNo. 218/2003 Coll. on the Responsibility of Juveniles for illegal Acts and on the Justice of Youth. Within the theme, the work seeks to capture especially the deviations that are special for the juvenile criminal law as opposed to the criminal law of adult offenders and to present a comprehensive overview of criminal justice over youth. The most extensive part of the thesis deals with the juvenile proceedings, attention is also paid to the substantive aspects of the juvenile criminal law and a considerable part discusses the proceedings in the affairs of children under fifteen. The introductory chapter defines the basic concepts as applied by the Act on the Justice of Youth, especiallyterminologically definesthose that are subject to special treatment. The following two chapters give an overview of the criminological aspects of juvenile delinquency and also outline the development of the legal regulation of juvenile justice in the Czech lands and present the form of the current legal regulation including its...

This thesis consists of three essays and studies CEO compensation, asset sales and takeovers and investment under uncertainty in empirical corporate finance. The first essay is a joint work with Qianqian Huang, Feng Jiang and Erik lie, titled `The effect of labor unions on CEO compensation'. The second essay `. Union Concessions following Asset Sales and Takeovers' is a joint work with Erik Lie. The third essay is titled `The Effect of Systematic and Idiosyncratic Risk on Investment and R&D' and is sole-authored. In the first essay, we document evidence that labor unions compel firms to curtail CEO compensation. First, we find that firms with strong unions pay their CEOs less. Further, firms curb CEO compensation, especially the part that is discretionary, prior to union contract negotiations. Finally, we report that curbing CEO compensation mitigates the chance of a labor strike, thus providing a rationale for firms to pay CEOs less when facing strong unions. In the second essay, we document that the likelihood of asset sales increases with union wages. Furthermore, the acquiring firms gain significant concessions from the incumbent union following asset sales. Finally, the anticipation of union concessions helps explain the excess stock returns around asset sale announcements. We find no comparable effects for takeovers. We conclude that asset sales, but not takeovers, are partially motivated by the potential to extract concessions from unions. Finally, in the third essay, in an attempt to shed some light on the puzzling positive sensitivity of investment to systematic volatility documented in Panousi and Papanikolaou (2012), we decompose systematic volatility into a firm's systematic risk exposure (beta) as well as the market and industry portfolio volatility. Surprisingly, we find a positive response of investment to a firm's systematic risk exposure. R&D expenditure is employed as an alternative form of investment. Our results show that idiosyncratic risk actually encourages firms to engage in R&D spending, in contrast with its depressing effect on capital expenditure; whereas systematic volatility depresses R&D in contrast with the positive sensitivity of capital expenditure to systematic volatility.

The purpose of this study was to determine nitrogen movements under a fall applied fertilizer as affected by rate of application of fertilizer, type of fertilizer carrier, and by crop grown. Two nitrogen fertilizers, calcium nitrate and ammonium sulfate, were applied in the fall of 1970. The soil profile was sampled in the spring of 1971 and again in the fall of 1971. Nitrate-nitrogen from both the calcium nitrate and the ammonium sulfate applications was found to have moved significantly from the time of application to the time of spring soil sampling. Two effects from the high rate of both calcium nitrate and ammonium sulfate which had influenced nitrate-nitrogen location in the profile were observed. The first effect was a promoting of deep movement of nitrate nitrogen by the high rate of calcium nitrate. The second effect was a delay of deep leaching of nitrate-nitrogen by the high rate of ammonium sulfate. The crop grown in the calcium nitrate plots was severely nitrogen deficient at all rates of fertilizer application. The corn grown in the ammonium sulfate plots at 150 pounds nitrogen per acre were nitrogen deficient to the same degree as the calcium nitrate plots. The crop in the high rate of ammonium sulfate plots looked quite good although some nitrogen deficiency symptoms did appear. Crop performance showed that severe leaching had taken place over the winter and through the growing season. This leaching was found to be affected by type of fertilizer carrier, application rate of fertilizer, and the crop grown. At the end of the growing season approximately half of the nitrate-nitrogen present in the soil profile in the spring was present in the fall after crop removal.

In this thesis, I am interested in transnational feminist scholarship and dialogue. Through close readings of Helena Maria Viramontes's texts, I place her writing in conversation with several transnational feminist scholars and themes. I begin with home, a frequently discussed topic within transnational feminism, as the experiences of diasporic and migrant populations challenge the notion of home. I locate the multiple homes presented in Viramontes's texts, arguing that these homes are unreliable spaces for their residents. I then consider male characters and masculinity in Viramontes's stories, as these men significantly influence the homes of women. In Viramontes's later texts, some of these characters support the women in their lives, as well as embrace the multiplicity of masculinity. I also explore invisibility and hypervisibility, two themes which figure prominently within transnational feminism and Viramontes's texts. Viramontes makes visible women, workers, and youth, challenging their invisibility and hypervisibility. In my analysis, I include Viramontes's two novels, Under the Feet of Jesus (1995) and Their Dogs Came With Them (2007), as well as two short stories, "Growing" (1983) and "The Jumping Bean" (1992). By analyzing these works, which were published over a period of twenty four years, we can more intricately see Viramontes's exploration of transnational feminist themes.
