This study looks at the Summer Arts Workshop (SAW) and its impacts on the adult facilitators that are involved in the workshop’s programming and implementation. The study seeks to gain an understanding of how the workshop could be improved in order to strengthen the workshop so that its adolescent participants could continue to benefit from attending it. The research question is: What are the impacts of a therapeutically informed summer arts workshop/camp with adolescents according to participants? Strengths? Space for improvements? This study is a qualitative approach utilizing a semi-structured interview. The analysis of the data from the four interviews found several common emergent themes that highlighted the strengths of SAW, such as helping to expand childhood surroundings and experience and creating a space for self-expression and creativity while also shedding light on common areas of improvement, such as creating a mentorship training program and increasing the length and scope of the program. With these findings, SAW can extrapolate the necessary data to use in creating a stronger program for its adolescent participants.

This study is to give an authoritative reflection of the spirit and procedure of the Child Health and Development Workshop at North Texas State Teachers College, Denton, Texas, July 16 to August 23, 1946.

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um novo tipo de sistema de levitação baseado na força de interação magnética entre uma bobina de núcleo não-magnético e um imã permanente, em casos de simetria axial entre os dispositivos, nos moldes do problema 23 proposto no TEAM Workshop. Este tema é bastante atual e vários métodos têm sido estudados e propostos em razão da complexidade na determinação precisa das forças sobre os imãs permanentes imersos em um campo magnético em um circuito magnético aberto. O primeiro grande desafio deste trabalho é obter uma expressão analítica para esta força de interação magnética em casos de simetria axial usando o método de cargas magnéticas ligadas. Para tal, algumas hipóteses simplificadoras foram adotadas como considerar o campo magnético gerado pela bobina aproximadamente uniforme em toda a face do imã permanente e assumir que a magnetização do imã é constante e independente da variação de sua distância para a bobina. Pretende-se aproveitar o sistema implementado neste trabalho como bancada experimental no Laboratório de Controle da Universidade de São Paulo. Foi projetado um controlador PID através de ferramentas gráficas obedecendo a alguns critérios de desempenho, tanto no domínio do tempo como no domínio da freqüência. Uma vez sintonizado, foi utilizado o toolbox Real-Time Windows Target do Simulink e a placa de aquisição PCI 6221 (da National Instruments) para controlar em tempo real a planta de levitação em malha fechada. Os resultados experimentais foram muito satisfatórios de modo que o modelo analítico foi considerado válido. O sistema apresentou boas características como, por exemplo, um bom acompanhamento do sinal de referência, mesmo em grandes excursões, erro de regime nulo, levitação estável em distâncias relativamente grandes e uma boa estabilidade radial. O uso de dois sensores Hall mostrou-se eficiente na determinação da posição do imã permanente. / The objective of this work is to present a new kind of levitation system based on the interaction force between a non-magnetic core coil and a permanent magnet, in the case of axial symmetry between devices, as proposed by TEAM Workshop problem 23. This theme is very current and various methods have been studied and proposed in face of the complexity in determining precisely the force over permanent magnets immersed in a magnetic field in an open magnetic circuit. The first big challenge of this work is to obtain an analytical expression for this interaction magnetic force in the case of axial symmetry using the equivalent magnetic charge method. For this, some simplifying hypothesis have been adopted like considering the magnetic field created by the coil approximately uniform over all the permanent magnets face and assuming that magnets magnetization is constant and independent of the variation of its distance to the coil. The system implemented in this work is intended to be used as an experimental bench for the Laboratory of Control of Sao Paulo University. A PID controller was projected by means of graphical tools according to some criteria for performance, both in the field of time as in the frequency domain. Once tuned, the toolbox Real-Time Windows Target of Simulink and the PCI-6221 acquisition board (of National Instruments) were used to control in real time the levitation plant in closed loop. The experimental results were very satisfactory so that the analytical model was considered valid. The system showed good characteristics as, for instance, a good tracking of reference signal, even in large excursions of it, null stationary error, stable levitation at relatively big gaps and a good radial stability. The use of two Hall-effect sensors proved to be efficient in the determination of permanent magnets position.

This report describes the process of a thesis implemented in Colombia concerning solar energy. The project was to install a self-circulating solar heating system, as well as creating exchange of knowledge regarding renewable energy. One of the two major goals of the project was to achieve a functioning solar heating system in Timbio, a village outside the city of Popayán in south west Colombia. The purpose was to use the free power from the sun and show people how to use it in a way that is not complicated or too expensive. The second major goal was to hold workshops about renewable energy in general, and solar energy in particular. The preparatory work started in October 2010 by concretizing the project, applying for scholarships and establishing necessary contacts; both in Colombia and Sweden. Research and correspondence continued throughout 2011, along with the search for finance from companies and funds to cover the project costs. The implementation took approximately three months and was finished in April 2012. However, the project was limited due to time scale and financial resources. The project was successful; a functioning solar heater and workshops. The aim to arise interest for renewable energy is fulfilled plus the aim to show how to use solar energy in a practical and useful way. / Denna rapport beskriver processen av ett examensarbete som behandlar solenergi, implementerat i Colombia. Projektet innebar en installation av en självcirkulerande solvärmeanläggning, och även kunskapsutbyte om förnybar energi. Ett av de två huvudmålen var att installera en fungerande solvärmeanläggning i byn Timbio utanför staden Popayán i sydvästra Colombia. Syftet var att använda gratis energi från solen och visa människor hur man kan använda energin på ett inte alltför komplicerat eller dyrt sätt. Det andra huvudmålet var att hålla workshops om förnybar energi i allmänhet och solenergi i synnerhet. Förberedelserna började i oktober 2010 genom konkretisering av projektet, stipendieansökningar och skapandet av nödvändiga kontakter; i Colombia och Sverige. Efterforskningar och korrespondens fortsatte under 2011 samtidigt som finansiering till projektet söktes från företag och fonder. Installationen tog ungefär tre månader och färdigställdes i april 2012. Projektet begränsades av tillgänglig tid och ekonomiska resurser. Projektet blev framgångsrikt; en fungerande solvärmeanläggning och lyckade workshops. Målet att väcka intresse för förnybar energi uppfylldes, även målet att visa hur solenergi kan användas på ett praktiskt och användbart sätt.

Den här uppsatsen handlar om facilitatorns roll och yrkeskunnande. En roll som är relativt ny och för de flesta fortfarande helt obekant. Facilitatorn anlitas för att underlätta för grupper att föra samtal och dialog, men också för att gemensamt reflektera. Viktiga förutsättningar för att hitta formerna för fruktbara samarbeten, vilket står högt på många organisationers agendor idag.   I uppsatsen redogör jag inledningsvis för den möteskultur som råder inom organisationer idag. En kultur där medarbetare och chefer avsätter mycket tid i möten som vare sig ger dem själva, organisationen eller samhället något av värde. Det är många gånger envägskommunikation eller förmedling av information. I en tidsanda som ställer höga krav på rationaliseringar och effektivseringar har det dessvärre också blivit så, att tiden för samtal och genuina dialoger succesivt har reducerats till förmån för ökad kommunikation i olika digitala kanaler, inte misnt e-mail och sociala medier. Jag vill hävda att vi människor behöver träffas och samtala för att nå en gemensam och fördjupad förståelse för varandra och våra olika sakfrågor. Vad händer på sikt om vi inte ges möjlighet till gemensam reflektion? Hur ska vi kunna samarbeta om vi inte lär känna varandra och de förutsättningar som råder?   I inledningen redogör jag även för delar av den kunskapsteori som finns kopplat till ämnesområdet yrkeskunnande och teknologi, men också för min mission – att återerövra samtalet som en viktig arbetsmetod. Uppsatsen är skriven i essäistisk stil och det empiriska materialet kommer från de texter jag själv har författat under masterutbildnignens två år då dialogseminariemetoden tillämpats, men också från den dialogseminarieserie som jag själv har genomfört med sex andra facilitatorskollegor. Tillsammans har vi börjat utforska vår gemensamma profession och det yrkeskunnande som vi representerar.   Facilitatorns yrkeskunnande är mångfacetterat och svårfångat, men handlar i mångt och mycket om att vara öppen för människors olikheter. Se dem som berikande. Vara krockfrämjande. Bejaka olika perspektiv och infallsvinklar på saker och ting. Inte vara rädd för att konfrontera. Facilitatorn jobbar med olika tempoväxlingar och har en mängd olika metoder och tekniker till sitt förfogande för att möta olika problemställningar. Planerat eller improviserat. Det finns tydliga analogier med teatern, men också med läkar- och läraryrket. Det handlar om att skapa spänningar och väcka känslor hos deltagarna. Och sedan ta hand om och förvalta de känslor som väckts. Som facilitator blir man aldrig fullärd. Alla grupper är olika och varje ny mötessituation bjuder på nya utmaningar.   För mig känns det som att resan mot bättre vetande precis har börjat. I mina texter kan jag skönja en utveckling över tid, men det finns otaliga gator kvar att utforska. Jag är fortsatt nyfiken och jag vet bestämt att jag vil fortsätta att fördjupa mina kunskaper om facilitatorns yrkeskunnande och gärna då med dialogseminariet som fortsatt forskningsmetod. / This thesis explores the role and skills of a professional facilitator. A facilitator is hired to facilitate meetings and other group processes trough dialogue, conversations and active participation, with the purpose of makig reflection and collaboration within and between organisations possible.

L’utilisation des connaissances issues de la recherche (CIR) est primordiale pour informer les politiques, les interventions et les pratiques en santé, spécialement dans les pays à faible revenu où les indicateurs de santé des populations sont toujours inquiétants. Toutefois, encore peu d’études ont été réalisées pour mieux comprendre comment favoriser le transfert et l’utilisation de ces connaissances, spécialement en Afrique de l’Ouest. La présente thèse vise donc à faire avancer les connaissances en évaluant différentes stratégies de transfert de connaissances (TC) en santé publique mises en œuvre au Burkina Faso dans le cadre du programme de recherche Équité-Santé (2012-2017). Ces stratégies de TC visaient à créer des opportunités d’échanges entre les chercheurs et les utilisateurs potentiels des CIR et ainsi, réduire l’écart entre les connaissances issues de la recherche en santé et leur utilisation. Trois stratégies de TC distinctes ont été étudiées soit 1) un atelier de dissémination de la recherche, 2) un atelier incluant un processus délibératif et 3) une stratégie de courtage de connaissances. Elles ont impliqué une diversité d’acteurs tels que des chercheurs, des décideurs, des professionnels de santé et des représentants d’organisations non-gouvernementales et de la société civile. Une évaluation de la mise en œuvre et des effets a été réalisée pour les deux ateliers et une évaluation des processus de mise en œuvre a été conduite pour la stratégie de courtage de connaissances, étant donné l’arrêt de l’initiative plus tôt que prévu. Les activités d’évaluation ont mobilisé des approches méthodologiques complémentaires et divers outils pour collecter les données (entretiens qualitatifs, questionnaires d’évaluation et observations sur le terrain). Les résultats montrent que les stratégies de TC ont été appréciées par les acteurs car elles ont permis l’apprentissage de nouvelles connaissances et ont représenté une opportunité importante de réseautage afin d’apprendre les uns des autres. Cependant, ces différentes expériences ont mis en lumière plusieurs enjeux tels que le pouvoir décisionnel des acteurs parfois limité, la présence déficiente des décideurs politiques aux activités ainsi que les ressources et incitatifs organisationnels souvent restreints. La présence d’un leadership fort pour assurer une mise en œuvre efficace, le renforcement des relations de partenariat, le développement des compétences en communication et la possibilité d’offrir un accompagnement à long terme aux acteurs représentent également des défis importants pour assurer une mise en œuvre efficace des activités de transfert de connaissances. Davantage d’études sont nécessaires pour mettre en œuvre des stratégies de TC et évaluer leur efficacité. En se basant sur les résultats de la thèse, certaines recommandations générales peuvent être formulées. Par exemple, il apparait important que les stratégies de TC soient en cohérence avec les besoins et ressources des milieux, qu’elles visent le renforcement des capacités et incluent un processus évaluatif en temps réel afin que les stratégies soient adaptées au contexte. En conclusion, la thèse contribue à l’avancement des connaissances sur le TC en santé mondiale en proposant un modèle conceptuel à expérimenter pour guider le développement et la mise en œuvre des stratégies de TC. / The use of research-based evidence (RBE) is essential for informing health policies, programs and practices, especially in low-income countries where population health indicators are still alarming. However, there are still few studies to understand how to improve knowledge translation (KT) processes and research utilisation, especially in West Africa. Thus, this thesis aims to advance the body of knowledge by evaluating different KT strategies in public health implemented in Burkina Faso as part of a research program Équité-Santé (2012-2017). These KT strategies were intended to create exchange opportunities between researchers and potential RBE users and thus reduce the gap between health research knowledge and its use. Three different KT strategies were studied: 1) a research dissemination workshop, 2) a deliberative workshop and 3) a knowledge brokering strategy. They involved a diversity of health system actors such as researchers, policymakers, health professionals and representatives of non-governmental organizations and civil society. An evaluation of the implementation and effects was conducted for both workshops and only an evaluation of the implementation process was conducted for the knowledge brokering strategy, because the initiative came to an early end. Complementary methodological approaches were mobilized during evaluation and different data collection tools were used (qualitative interviews, evaluation questionnaires and field observations). The evaluation results show that stakeholders have appreciated the KT strategies because they learned new knowledge and had a networking opportunity to learn from each other. However, these experiences have brought to light several issues such as the actors’ limited decision-making authority, weak engagement of political actors as well as scarce resources and organizational incentives. The presence of a strong leadership during implementation, partnership synergy, continuous communication skills’ development and long-term support to stakeholder also represent important challenges to assure an effective implementation of KT strategies. More studies are needed to implement KT strategies and evaluate their effectiveness. Based on the results, some general recommendations can be made. For example, it appears important that KT strategies are in line with stakeholders’ needs and resources, facilitate capacity building and include a real-time evaluative process to enable KT strategies to be constantly adapted to the implementation context. In conclusion, the thesis contributes to the advancement of knowledge about KT in global health by proposing a conceptual model to be considered and experimented during KT development and implementation.

During this project I’ve been exploring how we can work with things within art to change our way of relating to ourselves, other humans and our surrounding. I want to see if finding inner spaces within us can make us feel more connected to our external surrounding. I want to share the feeling of being connected with things through incorporating them inside our own bodies. I have therefore been leading participants on introspective journeys where they found rooms inside of their bodies. After that I have been translating these inner spaces into immersive performative Scenography, where visitors have been invited to engage with the things in the space with all their senses. All the bodies, things as well as visitors, have been given the possibility to interact on their own terms. I wanted to see what kind of relating this room of Whispering Bodies; the Immersive Scenography inspired and invited to, and I wished for it to be a tactile bonding with a sense of heightened empathy and listening.  This text-based piece, called Whispering Bodies: The Textual Brain, is created out of a curiosity in how a reflection based in the written language can exist as a complementary work for a physical and tactile space, in this case Whispering Bodies: The Immersive Scenography. I wanted to create an experience that would have traces of the room filled with different bodies. I have been experimenting with how to use different mediums to make this happen, and this piece will be a combination of meditation, video, drawings, audio and text, and the text itself will be jumping in between genres. I want to invite you to take part in this journey with me. It will be dry, it will be poetic, it will be telling you what happened, both the factual and the fictional.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me about the work.

During the past ten years, the foreign direct investment in India has increased with 1828 percent which has led to more projects being initiated in India to improve the livestock industry. The World Bank is the foremost entity in such investments and an issue arises when translating western theories for project management in new cultures. Because of this, development projects tend to stagnate and become inefficient since project goals and templates cannot be applied. Previous studies conducted in Africa have created successful methods called SLMTA to make projects and processes more efficient. SLMTA is a framework to improve the capability and accreditation in laboratory environment. Total Quality Management is one of the methods used in this framework. This study examines how Total Quality Management and process mapping can improve the capability of a laboratory in Guwahati, Assam, India. The underlying theories of this study derives from project management and total quality management where role definition, project triangle, project process, process management and the pareto principle are used. The study is supported by methods from total quality management such as process mapping, affinity diagram, relationship diagram, and process decision program chart. The findings from the study indicate that the development project of the laboratory in central Guwahati is shaped as a project process where project management and process development are implemented in parallel which impairs the efficiency. The study also shows cultural knowledge is a key aspect to create efficient projects and processes in development countries. Finally, the study finds that culturally adapted quality management tools, process mapping and project management are vital for improved efficiency in laboratory environment. / De senaste tio åren har internationella direktinvesteringar i Indien ökat med 1 828 procent och detta har lett till att flera olika projekt initierats i Indien för att förbättra livsmedelsindustrin. Världsbanken är ledande i dessa investeringar och en problematik uppstår när deras västerländska teoretiska ramverk för projektplanering skall översättas i nya kulturer. På grund av detta tenderar utvecklingsprojekt att stagnera och bli ineffektiva eftersom projektmål och mallar inte kan appliceras i den kultur de verkar i. Framgångsrika metoder för att effektivisera projekt och processer har tagits fram i tidigare forskning utförda i Afrika vid namn SLMTA. SLMTA är ett ramverk för att effektivisera kapabilitetens och ansvarstagandet i utvecklandet av laboratorium. En del av de metoder som används är offensiv kvalitetsutveckling. Denna studie undersöker därför hur offensiv kvalitetsutveckling och processkartläggning kan effektivisera kapabiliteten i ett laboratorium i Guwahati, Assam, Indien. Teorin som understödjer studien är tagna från projektledning och offensiv kvalitetsutveckling där roll definitioner, projekttriangeln, process projekt, processledning och pareto principen används. Studien stödjs upp genom metoder från offensiv kvalitetsutveckling som processkartläggning, släktskaps-, relations- och processbesluts diagram. Studien finner att utvecklingsprojektet av laboratoriet i centrala Guwahati är utformat som ett projektprocess där projektledning och processutveckling sker parallellt vilket försvårar effektiviteten. Studien visar även att kulturellförståelse är en avgörande aspekt för att kunna skapa effektiva projekt och processer i ett utvecklingsland. Slutligen finner studien att offensiv kvalitetsutveckling och implementeringen av kulturellt anpassade kvalitetsverktyg, processkartläggning och projektledning är avgörande för att öka effektiviteten.

The recognition of prior learning (RPL) is an assessment process through which experience gained outside academic contexts is recognised. The purpose of the research was to determine the influence the learner profile has on RPL assessment. To realise the purpose, the learner profile was described and consequently learning outcomes formulated for a portfolio workshop. The method which the study followed was a qualitative interpretative approach. The research comprised a literature study about adult learning theories that served as a theoretical framework for the study, as well as an overview of RPL assessment, followed by an empirical study. The empirical research component followed a multiple data collection method. The personal life stories of the research participants were analysed in order to compile a learner profile. The role the workshop played was determined from a learner perspective by means of an open questionnaire for participants. It included a collection of workshop photographs. Finally, the reflection of a group of RPL learners about their personal learning experiences was analysed. The research found that the learner profile included distinctive personal traits, such as motivation, task orientation, a sense of responsibility and an orientation towards the future. The nature of the learner profile as well as of informal learning gained within diverse learning contexts require directed preparation for assessment. The learners regarded the portfolio workshop as a sustainable learning process and as a transformational learning experience. The role the workshop played was multidimensional, as it served as preparation for compiling the portfolio. It also empowered and prepared the learner on a personal level for the context of tertiary education. Based on the research findings, the recommendations for an RPL approach should include the following: Firstly, the learner‟s voice should be afforded recognition. Secondly, preparation for assessment is essential. Thirdly, the preparation should follow an approach of assessment as a sustainable learning process. Finally, the learning outcomes for the portfolio workshop make a contribution to support the learners in bridging the learning contexts of informal learning and academic learning. The research makes a valuable contribution, as the empirical research shows that the holistic learner profile guides the approach to assessment. The mission of RPL to bring about transformation will only become a reality if a learner-centred approach recognises and empowers the learner on a personal and academic level. / Die Erkenning van Vorige Leer (EVL) is 'n assesseringsproses waardeur ervaring wat buite akademiese kontekste verwerf is, erken word. Die doel met die navorsing was om die invloed van die leerderprofiel op EVL-assessering te bepaal. Om die doel te bereik, is die leerderprofiel beskryf en voortvloeiend daaruit leeruitkomste vir 'n portefeuljewerkswinkel saamgestel. Die metode wat die studie gevolg het, was 'n kwalitatiewe interpretiewe benadering. Die navorsing bestaan uit 'n literatuurstudie oor volwasse leerteorieë wat as teoretiese raamwerk vir die studie gedien het, asook 'n oorsig oor EVL-assessering, gevolg deur 'n empiriese studie. Die empiriese navorsingskomponent het 'n meervoudige dataversamelingsmetode gevolg. Die navorsingsdeelnemers se persoonlike lewensverhale is geanaliseer om sodoende 'n leerderprofiel saam te stel. Die rol van die werkswinkel is vanuit 'n leerdersperspektief bepaal deur middel van 'n ope-vraelys aan deelnemers, wat 'n versameling werkswinkel-foto's ingesluit het. Laastens is die reflektering van 'n groepie EVL-leerders oor hulle persoonlike leerervaringe ge-analiseer. Die navorsing het bevind dat die leerderprofiel onderskeidende persoonlike kenmerke, soos motivering, taakgerigtheid, 'n verantwoodelikheidsin en 'n toekomsgerigtheid insluit. Die aard van die leerderprofiel, asook die aard van informele leer verwerf binne diverse leerkontekste vereis gerigte voorbereiding tot assessering. Die leerders het die portefeuljewerkswinkel as 'n volhoubare leerproses en as transformasionele leerervaring beskou. Die rol van die werkswinkel is meervoudig, aangesien dit dien as voorbereiding tot die saamstel van die portefeulje, asook die leerder op persoonlike vlak bemagtig en voorberei vir die konteks van tersiêre onderrig. Die aanbevelings tot 'n EVL-benadering behoort, op grond van die navorsingsbevindinge, die volgende in te sluit. Eerstens moet erkenning aan die stem van die leerder gegee word, tweedens is voorbereiding tot assessering noodsaaklik en derdens behoort die voorbereiding 'n benadering van assessering as 'n volhoubare leerposes te volg. Laastens lewer die leeruitkomste vir die portefeuljewerkswinkel 'n praktykgerigte bydrae om die leerder te ondersteun om die leerkontekste van informele leer en akademiese leer te oorbrug. Die navorsing lewer 'n waardevolle bydrae aangesien die empiriese navorsing toon dat die holistiese leerderprofiel die benadering tot assessering rig. Die missie van EVL om transformasie te weeg te bring, sal slegs 'n realiteit word indien 'n leerdergesentreerde benadering die leerder op persoonlike en op akademiese vlak erken en bemagtig. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / D.
