Full textDenna etnografiska studie undersöker behandlingspraktiker och interaktion mellan personal och ungdomar på ett särskilt ungdomshem för unga män. Materialet består framförallt av videoinspelad interaktion och intervjuer. I studien utforskas ideologiska dilemman samt hur dessa producerar komplexa subjektspositioner att uppta, förhandla om eller neka. Studie I undersöker ett huvuddilemma: tvång vs. frihet, vilket involverar de dubbla institutionella målen att tvinga ungdomarna till önskvärt beteende och att producera individer som beter sig ”korrekt” av egen fri vilja. Fokus ligger på personalens tal om teckenekonomi och studien synliggör retoriska resurser som används för att undvika positionen ”disciplinär personal”. Studie II utforskar disciplinerande humor och synliggör hur humor används både för att skapa och omskapa den sociala ordningen. Studien visar hur personal och ungdomar skickligt använder humor i förhandlingar om lokala hierarkier relaterade till auktoritet, generation och ålder. Humor var också ett sätt att navigera ideologiska dilemman. Studie III undersöker beteendemodifieringspraktiker, med fokus på hur självutvärdering kan förstås som responsibilisering med fokus på själv-reglering. Studien dokumenterar deltagarnas strategiska användning av specifika subjektspositionsrelationer, ”liten pojke”-vårdare snarare än ungdomsbrottsling-disciplinär personal. Sammantaget visar avhandlingen att subjektspositioner i grunden är samkonstruerade och att positioner rörande ålder är ytterst relevanta i denna kontext. Paradoxala aspekter av subjektspositioner bidrar med diskursiva resurser vilka kan användas för att hantera ideologiska dilemman och för att hantera frågor rörande autenticitet.

Full textThe law (1988:870) concerning care of addicts in some cases (LVM) is a compulsory care law and is the only law that deviates from the voluntariness principle in the social care law, which gives social workers the ability to go against individual’s free will. This study aims to elucidate the factors that may contribute to the difficulties social workers may face in relation to LVM- law, individual's legal certainty and self- determination of the individual. The purpose is also to problematize the social worker's approach concerning application of the LVM- law and if its purpose and goal is fulfilled. The theoretical starting points that are used to analyze the empirical material are theories about the social worker's discretion and the ethical dilemmas that may arise in relation to the client, also included here are theories about power and motivation. The empirical material was gathered through semi-structured interviews with different social workers, thus the social workers own experiences was captured of the work with the LVM- law in practice. The result of the study has shown that there are certain contradictions in the LVM- law since it is a compulsory care law where social workers have the power to take away their free will of the client, while taking account the right of self-determination and integrity. In turn, the social workers are controlled by higher management’s power by management policies and directives, which have a negative effect on the social workers and clients. Motivation work with the client involves getting the client motivated to agree to treatment irrespective of whether he wants it or not and occurs in the form of hidden power and threats, where the client's free will, not will be considered. The application of goal and purpose of the LVM- law have shown to differ significantly in different municipalities in Stockholm county since there is a wide range of discretion, dependent on the existence of a wide discretion and interpretability of the law and that no standard model is to follow.

Full textTitel: Biståndsbedömning för klienter med demenssjukdom - Biståndshandläggares upplevelser och erfarenheter Författare: Fredrik Borg och Helena Wallin Håkansson Studiens syfte var att undersöka biståndshandläggares upplevelser, svårigheter och etiska ställningstaganden vid biståndsbedömning av klienter med demenssjukdom. Studien utgick från temana självbestämmande och integritet, trygghet och meningsfull tillvaro samt etiskt förhållningssätt. Kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer användes som datainsamlingsmetod. Empiriskt material bestående av transkriberade intervjuer, analyserades utifrån teorierna empowerment och systemteori. Som resultat konstateras att biståndshandläggare dagligen hanterar etiska dilemman kring klientens självbestämmande och integritet, i relation till rätten till trygghet och meningsfull tillvaro. Informanterna förmedlade att det i praktiken handlar om att vara medmänniska med förståelse och empati, anpassat till den aktuella situationen. Tidigare forskning visar på bland annat etiska dilemman kring anhörigvårdare och beslutsfattande för äldre människor med demens. Detta framkom även i vår studie. För framtida forskning tror vi det kan vara relevant att kartlägga varför det ser olika ut kring användning av anhörigbehörighet.

Full textDue to the chronicity of the HIV infection, substantial changes may occur in the life of people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHAs), emerging new needs must be understood and dealt with, enhancing the already existing ones. Understanding the self-concept of PLWHAS is essential and was situated within Kellys Personal Construct Theory. Increased self-concept makes the individual living with HIV perceive him/herself in a positive way; on the other hand, those with affected self-concept and implicative dilemmas may see themselves as more limited and discouraged, with great implications for mental health. Given the circumstances, the present study aims were to evaluate the sociodemographic, disease, psychosocial factors, as well as cognitive factors such as self-concept and implicative dilemmas and to relate it to depression and risk-taking behaviours in PLWHAs. This quantitative study administered a battery of questionnaires namely, the 1.) Personal and Demographic Questionnaire, 2.) Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI-II), 3.) Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Repertory Grid to 142 adults living with HIV and AIDS who were attending a public health clinic in a resource-constrained area in the Cape Metropole Region.

Full textResumo: A variação no tamanho floral entre espécies vegetais interfere diretamente no grau de heteranteria e grau hercogamia dentro da flor, e pode favorecer a divisão de trabalho entre as anteras, diminuindo o conflito por pólen entre planta e polinizador. Neste trabalho, nosso objetivo principal é investigar como o tamanho floral modifica o processo de polinização e estratégia reprodutiva em duas espécies com tamanhos florais contrastantes: Chamaecrista desvauxii var. latistipula e Chamaecrista nictitans. Nossa hipótese é de que a morfologia das flores maiores de C. desvauxii var. latistipula com androceu evidentemente heteromórfico favoreça a divisão de trabalho, e a segurança reprodutiva nessas flores ocorra via anteras de polinização; enquanto que a morfologia das flores menores de Chamaecrista nictitans não favorece a divisão de trabalho entre as anteras e que a segurança reprodutiva e o conflito por pólen sejam superados pelo predomínio da autopolinização. Nossos resultados indicam que não ocorre divisão de trabalho entre os conjuntos das anteras em ambas as espécies, embora o heteranteria seja visível em C. desvauxii. Independente do tamanho das flores os diferentes conjuntos de anteras não diferem em atração visual para as abelhas. Já em flores menores de C. nictitans nossos resultados indicam a quebra da heteranteria e da hercogamia em um sistema mais generalista quando comparado a flores maiores de C. desvauxii var. latistipula.

Abstract: The variation in floral size between plant species directly interferes with the degree of heteranthery and degree of hercogamy within the flower and may favor the division of labor between the anthers, reducing the conflict between plant pollen and pollinator. In this work, our primary objective is to investigate how the floral size modifies the pollination process and reproductive strategy in two species with contrasting floral sizes: Chamaecrista desvauxii var. latistipula and Chamaecrista nictitans. We hypothesize that the morphology of the larger flowers of C. desvauxii with evident anther dimorphism favors the division of labor, and reproductive security in these flowers occurs via pollination anthers. Alternatively, the morphology of the smaller flowers of C. nictitans does not favor the division of labor between the anthers and that reproductive security and pollen conflict are overcome by the predominance of self-pollination. Our results indicate that there is no division of labor between the anther sets in both species, although heteranthery is visible in C. desvauxii. Regardless of the size of the flowers, the different anther sets do not differ in visual attraction for the bees. In smaller flowers of C. nictitans, our results indicate the breakage of heteranthery and hercogamy into a more general system when compared to larger flowers of C. desvauxii. The small flowers of C. nictitans depend on auto pollen to achieve reproductive success, the same does not occur wi... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Full textThe aim of our study was to examine how integrity and self-determination is conceived by care assistants regarding older care takers with a problematic alcohol consumption, and if it affects their care provided. Qualitative semi-structured interviews, carried out with home care assistants (n=4) and analyzed hermeneutically with theories of power and discretion, showed that self-determination, as described by The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare, is fulfilled only under certain conditions in the home care assistant’s interpretation. We also found a lack of guidelines and routines concerning problematic alcohol consumption among older care takers. Our results showed that home care assistants made individual assessments in their work with older care takers with problematic alcohol consumption actualizing a difficult ethical dilemma between neglect and paternalism. These ethical issues visualize power relationships where home care assistants have the prerogative to decide in relation to the care takers, where paternalism is a potential risk factor. Clear guidelines regarding the purchase of alcohol to older care takers with problematic alcohol consumption may contribute to home care assistants working more uniformly which leads to a higher state of legal security for the care takers.

No matter how the society change after such a long time, it is always very hard for the homosexual to come out to their family. Parents who might be open-minded usually turn out to be overreacted when it comes to this sensitive issue; on the other hand, being afraid of misunderstanding might cause the homosexual choose to keep their silence. It is a plight need to weigh why the homosexual should or should not make it public if there might be a potential family storm waiting for them. And if, finally, the answer is certain, then comes to the second page: “when” and “how” to say out loud? Literature of homosexuality was all the rage in the 90s, and a lot of plots surrounding with family social space reveal a strong influence of the other family members on the homosexual and the care of the homosexual to their family. The article focus on the 90s’ novel to find out the struggle of the homosexual have, discuss the changing image of family social space in different age and compare the situation in family before and after their coming out. Finally, the article concludes with the change in the 90s writing direction and the new development of homosexuality in literature. Key Words: Homosexual, Family, Coming Out

In order to understand the decision-making behavioral tendencies of political warfare officers under the military social dilemmas, and based on Weber et al’ s(2004)proposition that the group identity could increase the cooperative decision-making behavior of social dilemmas, this study was designed to arouse the soldier group to improve their original self-interested decision-making behaviors. The researcher conveniently sampled 418 political warfare officers, and used "Military Group Identity Questionnaire" and "Political Warfare Military Social Dilemma Questionnaire" to collect data. Results showed: 1. under the military social dilemmas, the political warfare officers’ decision-making behaviors tended to be self-interested; 2. under the military social dilemmas, group identity indeed had moderating effects on political warfare officers’ self-interested decision-making behaviors; 3. there were no significant differences between modern disaster relief tasks and conventional warfare missions in the degree of group identity. According to the results of this research, the political warfare officers’ self-interested decision-making behaviors were not based on personal self-interested habits. More powerful reasons were behind, such as blind obedience, which was shaped by military socialization.

This thesis is about my long term and long distance relationship with my boyfriend. As the distance between us getting closer, our relationship seems to become more intense. It's not what we expected when living in the same city. The anxious feeling rises when we get closer to each other. This sense of insecurity aroused suspicions between us, and this situation shouldn't happen in our relationship. Even though I knew where the problem came from, it still couldn't be solved. Eventually, I started doubting happiness and I was trapped in trying to pursuit a happy ending by negatively using compulsive violence to our relationship. I was stuck in those two conflicting behaviors and this direct response of violence was passed down from my original family. This made me begin the whole healing process. Could art help the healing process? I doubtfully started to explore it and tried to use body language instead of speaking out. I put on a performance art by performing daily life as behavioral art. It's an unnoticed acting. The status became a paradoxical phenomenon. After the performance, I went through everything by writing it down. And it recalled my forgotten childhood memories. I discovered that the trauma of my father’s life was subconsciously affecting me. His unwilling broken emotions in the past have caused my life's trauma again. This made me no longer believe in happiness when it comes to intimacy. This thesis uses dilemma as a symbol of life difficulties. After I experienced this whole process of performing, writing and seeing. I'm looking forward to a new page of my life by searching for the possibilities of rewriting and re-binding the unwilling broken emotions.

Abstract What is your dream? Have you ever asked yourself about this? Or, have you been chasing all the time what is in fact other people's dream? Actually, not many people have ever thought seriously about what they truly aspire in life. The researcher of the present study used to enjoy the simple joy brought by basketball, dreaming of becoming a professional player at the same time. However, with the change of living circumstances and life experiences, the joy resulting from playing basketball gradually dissipated, while being replaced by disappointment and frustration. Although the idea of giving up came to mind every now and then, the desire to continue playing basketball still remains and is strengthened whenever he steps into the court and catches a pass from his teammates. With a self-narration approach, the present study explicates the story of a physical education teacher's twenty-year sports career, who specializes in basketball. Based on real life experience, the story illustrates the mental process of how the researcher came to realize what the basketball truly meant to him. The story is divided into two parts. The first part consists of three "selves" during the process of pursuing his dream, including the vigorous young "self" in elementary school, the insistent and determined "self" in middle school, and the "self" working towards his dream in high school. This part of story centers on the training process imposed upon the author and the path of his mental growth. The second part consists of five "selves" coping with challenges in life, including the "self" with confidence yet trying to escape from reality at college, the "self" switching to another career during practical training, the "self" that crossed a high barrier in the army, the "self" insecure of the future as a substitute teacher, and the carefree "self" as a full-time teacher. This part of story mainly focuses on the author's twists of life during his basketball career and his developing state of mind reacting to those life changes. With an attempt to look closely at the past, the researcher has managed to find the meaning of basketball corresponding to each stage, and has further clarified what dream really meant to him. The study concludes that the researcher has been pursuing a superficial "self" the whole time, paying attention to minor aspects such as techniques, game results, and other peoples' opinions. That is, he has failed to look more deeply at his inner self, which goes beyond the level of basketball techniques. Keywords: Basketball,Sports Experience,Self-Narrative

Based on hermeneutic phenomenological approach, this study use self-narrative as a way to inquire the researcher’s growing-up experience of home/family-meaning-making process.The main concerns in this research listed as follows: (1) we tried to exploring the meaning of home of “only the father/ mother absent” by the researcher’s self-narration from childhood to college, that form up the researcher’s viewpoint of home; (2) For response to previous study on the self-narrative " displacement " and " Text Analysis Methodology " of the criticism, the researcher try to develop the method in self-narrative study. After attending to Liu’s integrated narrative and phenomenological analysis training program, the researcher develop the analysis method of the study—Imagery Analysis. Acording to the method of imagry analysis to analysis the narrative text, the researcher found: For the narrator who growing up in the“ only the father /mother absence ” situation, while the narrator trapped in the "home of the past experience of dilemma "(such as alcohol abuse / domestic violence / father as the hero is no longer) and can not return to the" home of the past, good experience "(such as full / family were in the / father as a hero), and other experience and exposure to the situation “in present” are broken, so the narrative were caught" no home, " and form the story of this dilemma. In reflect of “the narrator how to grouping up in the dilemma of home(in family)”, the researcher found “ the Third” being of significant meaning. “ The Third” has been a main role in helping the narrator who is in the predicament(困境)of “feel no home ”, It is to be given by the experience of “ feel in home ” to help the narrator run out from the "no home" dilemma in the guidelines on the story of hope. Whether “ The Third” can be as “ the concrete imagery of others”( like elegant / teachers / peers, etc.) or as “ the abstract imagery of others”( like warmth / support / care, etc.), If the narrator could “ feel in home” in being support by the experiences of “ The Third” , the narrator can living up hope form the predicament situation. In addition, the researcher combined the results of the text discusses to the significance of dialogue with the previous house, he found discusses of " people oriented " and " environment-based, " "family/transitional family," " hope theory " and other discussion, through the interpretation of the above discussed phenomenological reflection form a "dilemma - want" discourse(困局—希望), and the researcher used the discourse as the frames course of the study , he reflect on the comprehension of narrative text to form “ the researcher who comprehensive of the meaning of home ”, found four understanding of” home ” the conversion period, as follows: (1) loop one: by self / professional "repair / rescue" - the original home of: a happy and fun; (2) Cycle II: "hopes" - can not fix on their own home, I do not know which way to go, but to leave; (3) Cycle three: "Family "I do not know what the acceptance of the family" love "the guidelines" hope "away; (4) together: family" hope "is in fact towards the" root cause "of the desire away, there is no specific image. Integrated the above discussion, the study found that "home" could not be identify in “ specific and concrete imagery ” to understanding, but have to understand it in “ non-fixed image understanding” as a reflexive desire to see on the home is really the "root causes" as the call to towards it; which means,we must let go of the known to outline the imagery of home, and re-see the dunamic and call of home as a matter of fact there is no specific image, which was able to return to live out their hopes. The basis of the foregoing discussion, the researchers a new understanding of home construction of meaning, the following conclusions: the experience difficulties living in the troubled family who must leave home by the dilemma, pass through the experience to be home, to " go home " and toward " home, in the root of " away. Finally, inquire of the limitations and the possible future, reflect on two points, including: (1) on the "who" spoke of the reflection; (2) on the "break" reflection of the experience for the interested reader is referred to the future .

This dissertation mainly focuses on analysing the Chinese literati writings of early-Jin Dynasty , to show Chinese literati’s self-value transition among different conditions. The Jin Dynasty had a strategy of borrowing talents from the Sung and Liao government, and most of Jin government officials who came from the Sung and Liao government was usually considered to be the traitors. So the greatest effort of this dissertation was trying to change the prejudices about the Chinese literati who became an officer in the Jin Dynasty, such as their political leanings, and how they participate in the establishment of the early-Jin Dynasty(1115-1161). There were some of these Jin government officer betrayed Jin government and helped Sung government again finally , but there were a few Chinese literati officer still loyal to the Jin government . When the author read poetry and prose about these people, the author could discover some different thoughts between them. These literary writings provide us an opportunity to glimpse the different variations of self-value for each one of them, and also help us to see how these self-value changed when they were torn between Sung and Jin Dynasty. The Author conducted close reading of Chinese literati's literary writings, especially those works which were wrote down after the Jingkang Event. These literary writings showed these Chinese literati's self-identity and their double cultural perspective. Through their writing, the author would research Chinese literati who southwardly refuged along with Sung government, and Chinese literati who defect to Jin government voluntarily. These Chinese literati's writings are quite precious that could make us understand these Chinese literati's self-value transition on Jin and Sung state.

The setting up of the course of performing arts in Taiwanese public school teaching represents one of the revolutionary consequences of a series of national educational reforms in 1990s. This national policy gave birth to a new professional category in the educational history: drama teachers. The timing of the emergence of such new category of teacher symbolizes a turning point not only in the national educational history but also in the personal life cycle of these young teachers, who have experienced the process of adaption from artistic field to educational field. These drama teachers fighting for their own agency in the professional field go through three typical periods of self-fashioning: provisional selves, reflexive selves, and composite selves, and gradually achieve dynamic equilibrium between artistic self-construal and educational self-construal. The reason why the drama teachers need to negotiate between these two selves and try to integrate them during the professional practice is that the cognitive contradictions and conflicts of value are inevitable in the intertexture of two different fields: art and education. Besides, professional obstacles of drama teachers result largely from such dilemma. After relating the life experiences of drama teachers to their self-fashioning process, we try to explore the structural and social foundations which offer conditions to form the real situations of drama teacher. In this research, we take the Taiwanese body education as a starting point to analyze, for it represents the structure of power in educational field which disciplines the setting of school teaching and students’ bodies simultaneously. In fact, the emergence of performing arts in school teaching means an attempt to break the existed structure of power, by means of revoking and releasing awareness of our body which have been repressed during a long period. The innovative practice of the performing arts teaching carried out by dram teachers signifies the realization of “awakened body” through educational system.

Full textInterpersonally, psychopathy involves a lack of consideration for others that can translate into deception, manipulation, and exploitation. The current thesis investigated the relationship between the psychopathic characteristics of non incarcerated men and the tendency to cooperate while playing an iterative version of the prisoner's dilemma game. A total of 85 men were recruited through advertisements that targeted personality traits corresponding to psychopathic characteristics formulated in a way that was not pejorative. A variety of methods was used to reach participants; 46 were tested in person after they replied to an invitation that appeared in a local journal as well as on bulletin boards close to a university; 39 participated via the Internet after they were recruited through a classified advertising website. Each participant completed a questionnaire including the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (Levenson, Kiehl, & Fitzpatrick, 1995) and the Childhood and Adolescent Taxon Scale - Self-Report (Seto, Khattar, Lalumière, & Quinsey, 1997). They also played in a computer simulation of the iterative prisoner's dilemma lasting 90 trials. Both the computer simulation used to test participants in person and the Internet version were designed and programmed specifically for the present thesis. The computer simulation included three strategies often associated with the iterative prisoner's dilemma: tit-for-tat, generous-tit-for-tat, and win/stay-lose/shift. Preliminary analyses showed that participants tested in person and via the Internet did not differ in terms of sociodemographic variables, psychopathic characteristics, social desirability, or responses to the prisoner's dilemma. A standard multiple regression indicated that psychopathic measures could not predict the total number of cooperative choices in the prisoner's dilemma game. However, there was a negative correlation between interpersonal and affective characteristics of psychopathy and cooperation in the first third of the prisoner's dilemma game. Furthermore, participants showing more interpersonal and affective psychopathic characteristics tended to exploit the computer more often by defecting while the computer simulation cooperated. Multilevel analyses were used to explore the contribution of decision-level and individual-level variables to predict the choice to cooperate or to defect on each trial of the game; interactions between these variables were also considered. The results showed that variables at the decision level were generally associated with stronger odds of cooperating than individual-level variables. Among psychopathic measures, only the interpersonal and affective characteristics showed a significant association with the odds of cooperating; interactions with the first choice in the game and the first third of the game were significant. That is, if participants cooperated in the first trial, higher interpersonal and affective psychopathic characteristics were associated with decreased odds of cooperating. Also, during the first 30 trials of the game, participants with higher interpersonal and affective psychopathic characteristics were significantly more likely to defect. The type of strategy used by the computer simulation did not have an influence on the relationship between psychopathic characteristics and a participant's probability to cooperate. However, playing against tit-for-tat was associated with increased odds of cooperating from one trial to the next for all participants. Overall, the results suggest that non incarcerated men with psychopathic characteristics might not systematically choose to defect. Instead, the interpersonal and affective psychopathic characteristics appeared as a tendency to cooperate initially, then rapidly attempt to exploit by defecting, and finally cooperate. This behavioral pattern is discussed as well as the relevance of using the iterative prisoner's dilemma game and multilevel analyses to study interpersonal behavior in psychopaths.

Full textThe emergence of complexity, and of life more specifically, is still one of the most intractable conundrums for modern science. Recent work emphasized the relevance of statistical physics and critical phenomena theory’s contribution to those questions — especially of self-organized criticality theory — just as much as the role of biochemical cooperation in life’s first moments. Moreover, the description of the mechanisms by which life could have appeared is of particular interest for astrophysics, because our comprehension of those mechanisms influences how biosignatures are analyzed in the context of the search for life elsewhere in the Universe. The analysis presented here concerns a model in game theory that allows to study cooperation phenomena — implemented in spatial context as to emulate the dynamics of a system in which life could have appeared. An analysis of the model’s parameter space reveals that it displays phase transition and self-organization of spatial structures phenomenon, those elements being adjuvants to the emergence of cooperation between a priori egoist players, in a context that is initially not favorable to the emergence of cooperative behavior. The results obtained here thus seem to support the idea that both biochemical cooperation can emerge through phase transition phenomena, and that the underlying lattice iterated prisoner’s dilemma model used here behaves like a self-organized critical system.
