Skolutveckling och ledarskap, Specialpedagogik, Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola. Lösningsinriktat arbete, SFBT eng., har under det senaste decenniet använts som en mo-dell/metod i skolan. Modellen/metoden har använts både i inlärningssituationen och för att främja elevers socioemotionella utveckling. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka vilken veten-skapligt granskad forskning som finns tillgänglig för lösningsinriktat arbete i skolan och vil-ken effekt metoden har i skolkontext.

Sweden?s environmental work is to set out from 16 national environmental quality objectives. It aims to work for a sustainable society and to solve our current environmental problems today and not pass them on to future generations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate Uppföljning av handlingsprogram för miljömål (a follow up-study of a programme for environmental quality objectives) and to propose new methods to work with the revision of Handlingsprogram ? så genomför vi de regionala miljömålen i Hallands län (a programme to implement the regional environmental quality objectives in the County of Halland), a revision which will start in autumn 2010.

The purpose of this paper was to examine how youths, age 18-20, experience the verdict to the probation service and how it affects their lives. We have examined the relation between youths and the probation service from a youth perspective, what kind of support and intervention they receive and how their surroundings react and respond on the verdict. Our research was based on a qualitative method consisting of individual interviews with eight youths and one interview with a social worker from the probation service. We have used Urie Bronfenbrenner's "the Ecology of Human Development" as our main theory and the conceptions labeling, participation and the key terms adversity and protective environment to analyse and comprehend the material. We found that all eight youths were satisfied with the probation service and the help they had received.

Världen har förändrats från Kalla krigets stormaktsspel till dagens globaliserade värld, där internationella organisationer spelar en allt större roll i politiken. NATO som bildades i Kalla krigets motsättningar har ändrat fokus från att innan bara ha riktat sin blick mot öst till att idag verka som en global interventionsmakt.Vi har i vår normativa uppsats, med utgångspunkt i deontologin, analyserat NATO:s interventioner i Kosovo och Afghanistan efter Jus ad bellum-kriterierna som återfinns i Just War-teorins första del. Syftet med detta är att kunna ta ställning till huruvida NATO kan anses vara en legitim aktör i interventionssammanhang. För att kunna presentera ett bredare resonemang har vi även valt att kritiskt granska vårt teorival ur ett konstruktivistiskt synsätt. Det vi således har kommit fram till är att NATO:s interventioner varit legitima, men att organisationen i sig inte kan räknas som legitim i detta sammanhang på grund av dess tvivelaktigt demokratiska karaktär..

Since studies points out declining interest in science among students in Swedish schools, I have in this paper chosen to examine how some students at the Social Science Programme are experiencing the lessons in Natural Science and how to make lessons more interesting according to these students.The purpose of this study was to gain a greater understanding of how teachers would develop new perspectives and tools to make lessons in Natural Science more interesting. I also wanted to investigate whether an intercultural perspective could be a possible tool to increase students? interest and motivation.As a theoretical framework, I have assumed Vygotskij's sociocultural perspective, Habermas's theory of deliberative conversations and an intercultural perspective. Through a qualitative approach, I conducted interviews with students and teachers. The main results showed that students felt that natural Science lessons were too theoretical and undemocratic and that they wanted to have more student interactions, such as discussions and group works.

En av de vanligaste ätstörningarna i dag är Anorexia Nervosa, som yttrar sig främst i självsvält och ofta även överdriven träning. Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva arbetsterapeuters erfarenhet av gruppaktiviteter som en intervention för klienter med Anorexia Nervosa. Studien baserades på sex intervjuer med sju deltagare. Data analyserades enligt kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Analysen resulterade i fyra kategorier: Arbetsterapeutens planering av gruppaktiviteter, arbetsterapeutens roll och förhållningssätt i gruppaktiviteter, arbetsterapeutens erfarenhet av att gruppaktivitet både kan stödja och hindra klienter, arbetsterapeutens erfarenhet av att gruppaktivitet på olika sätt leder till förändrat aktivitetsutförande.

Då antalet motionärer och utövare av tävlingsidrott ökar finns det risk att antalet skador ökar i motsvarande grad. Syftet med denna interventionsstudie var att undersöka om det gick att minska antalet skador hos manliga elitishockeyspelare under en säsong genom implementering av somatiska och kognitiva interventioner. Undersökningsdeltagarna bestod av en experimentgrupp och en kontrollgrupp med 9 respektive 13 ishockeyspelare. ACSI-28 och SAS användes som mätinstrument för copingresurser och personlighet i form av ängslan/oro genom en före- och eftermätning. Interventionerna bestod av avslappning, stresshantering, målsättning, självförtroende och attributioner.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate Komm-A, a model for usingcommunication books in clinical practice for people with aphasia. The studyconsisted of two group studies and one case study. One of the group studies had apretest-posttest design and consisted of nine couples; a person with aphasia andhis/her communication partner. The material used was Quality of communicationlife scale (QCL), Communicative effectiveness index (CETI), Goal attainmentscaling (GAS), and a questionnaire to the communication partner. The other groupstudy consisted of seven speech-language pathologists who worked with thecouples according to the Komm-A model.

Abstract Aim: Since there is a lack of research based educational interventions concerning the relationship between coaches and young athletes, the aim of this study was to implement and examine the effects of sport psychology intervention for coaches in a track and field club. The research questions were: What are the effects of an educational intervention for coaches, with focus on a motivational climate, on: A) the coaches´ coaching approach B) their athletes´ goal orientation and C) their athletes´ perceived competitive anxiety?Method: The coach education stretched over two months and consisted of four two-hour lessons with focus on motivational climate, goal orientation and sport anxiety. Six coaches (three females, three males), aged 38-52 (M=44.33 years, SD=4.84) and their 59 athletes (27 males and 32 females) aged 12-14 (M=13.10 years, SD=0.82), participated in the study. A control group of 35 athletes (10 males and 25 females), of the same age (M=13.46 years, SD=0.70) and with similar demographic data, was also recruited.

Stressade medarbetare kostar pengar, sänker produktivitet och bidrar till ohälsa. Genom perspektivtagande kan vi ändra förhållningssätt till vårt psykologiska innehåll. ?Självet-som-kontext? ingår i ?psykologisk flexibilitet? och innebär att ta perspektiv till sitt psykologiska innehåll. ?Prosocialt hjälpbeteende? är att ta ett nytt perspektiv till andra.

Barn som växer upp med en förälder med psykisk ohälsa löper större risk att själva drabbas av psykisk ohälsa. Det finns ett stort mörkertal kring hur många barn i Sverige som växer upp under dessa förhållanden. Det är dock många som trots stora påfrestningar klarar sig bra i livet. Anledningarna till att barnen klarar sig bra är skyddsfaktorer som finns inom barnet och i dess omgivning.Uppsatsens syfte är att med kvalitativt angreppsätt, utifrån två perspektiv studera hur individer kan uppleva det att växa upp med en förälder med psykisk ohälsa samt vilket stöd som målgruppen kan efterfråga. Studiens resultat visar att uppväxten med en förälder med psykisk ohälsa kan påverka individen.

On board ships different type of maintenance activities take place. Some of those require working with vibrating handheld tools. Traditionally there is a high awareness of the risks with different type of duties such as protecting the skin from oil or other chemicals, the eyes from splashes and hearing from high noise levels. The experience we have from our time as on-board cadets are that there is less information about vibration hazards available compared to the information concerning other hazards on board.There are threshold values that workers, by law, are not allowed to exceed when working with handheld vibrating tools. The purpose of this study is to investigate how common the use of this type of equipment that can cause damage by vibrations, to the hands and arm amongst the deck crew, and if the crew informed about the risks involved.

The purpose of this study was to examine young offenders? attitudes towards crime, and to the penalty they have been sentenced to as juveniles. More specifically its aim was to examine an intervention program called Galaxen, specifically used  to deal with  juveniles  in Växjö. This intervention program consists mainly of conversations with social workers from social services,  aiming  towards  better  self-awareness  and  the  ability  to  understand  the  consequences  of one?s actions.

Hearing is considered to be the most important sense for the communication between people. Several studies have shown that hearing loss can lead to deterioration in quality of life, reduced social activities, feelings of alienation and hence the increasing incidence of depression symptoms.An early audiological rehabilitation is a prerequisite for proper communication among people with hearing loss. Knowledge has been shown to be of great importance and structured learning and individually targeted approach can be expected to facilitate the audiological rehabilitation.The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an educational effort for people with hearing loss where the effort was made in the distance within the audiological rehabilitation and was followed-up by professional phone support, through a randomized controlled study.The study group consisted of 69 hearing aid users who were randomized by an independent person into two groups, an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group (n = 33) had access to the book "When the sounds are weaker - on hearing and hearing aids". The group received weekly topic-based information related to the different chapters of the book, in five rounds.

AbstractAim: The aim of this study was to investigate if treatment with ?dry needling? in myofascial triggerpoints (MTrPs) in the rotatorcuff muscles may affect impingement symptoms such as pain during provocative tests, shoulder mobility, and function. The research questions were: Does the value of pain change on the Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) between before and after treatment? Do the positive provocative tests for impingement change between before and after treatment? Does the active shoulder mobility change between before and after treatment? Does the self-rated function change between before and after treatment?Method: The study was a prospective randomized intervention study and 19 persons with impingement symptoms (mean ± standard deviation; 58 ± 18 years, and shoulder pain duration 3.9 ± 1.6 months) were randomized into two groups. The groups were tested before, directly after and 3 weeks after treatment.
