Sammanfattning/abstractLinda Gustavsson (2015). Pedagogisk utredning som arbetsredskap. En innehållsanalys medhermeneutisk ansats. Pedagogical investigation as a working tool. An hermeneutic analysis.Specialpedagogprogrammet, Skolutveckling och ledarskap, Lärande och samhälle, MalmöhögskolaBakgrundDet saknas forskning om pedagogiska utredningar och om i vilken utsträckning utredningenkan vara ett användbart redskap för pedagoger. Därför undersöks mallar för pedagogiskutredning närmare i den här studien.Studiens syfte är att undersöka utredningsmallar som används för att kartlägga en elevsskolsituation innan ett eventuellt åtgärdsprogram upprättas. Detta för att se hur mallensutformning påverkar beskrivningen av elevens skolsituation och behov av stöd i utredningen.Följande frågeställningar ligger till grund för studien:• Hur beskrivs lärmiljön, undervisningens innehåll och metoder?• Hur beskrivs elevens behov av särskilt stöd?• På vilket sätt avspeglas elevs och vårdnadshavares medverkan?TeoriStudien utgår från systemteoretiskt tänkande, eftersom det i utredningar av elever i behov avsärskilt stöd behövs ett helhetsperspektiv. En gren av systemteorin är Bronfenbrennersutvecklingsekologi, som bidrar med en modell för att analysera eleven ur etthelhetsperspektiv. Även olika specialpedagogiska perspektiv bidrar till att ge en nyanseradbild av hur utredningsmallarna förhåller sig till styrdokumenten.MetodStudien utgörs av en kvalitativ textanalys med en hermeneutisk ansats. Hermeneutikensallmänna tolkningslära ligger till grund för studien. Det är förståelsen av ett budskap som ärcentral, inte förklaringen. Textanalysen bygger på en systematiskt beskrivning av innehållet i utredningarna, utifrån ett kodningsschema. De kodningsenheter som hittats har sedan använtsi analysen av materialet.ResultatDet är en av fem skolor som kartlägger lärmiljön i den pedagogiska utredningen. De flestaifrågasätter inte skolans sätt att organisera sin verksamhet. Det finns beskrivningar av vilkaolika arbetssätt och metoder som används på tre av skolorna, men dessa beskrivningar är inte tydliga. I kartläggningen på individnivå framkommer i alla utredningar vari elevenssvårigheter ligger. Det finns inga utredare som ingående har studerat och/eller analyserat delärsituationer som fungerar för eleverna. Vad eleven behöver stöd i eller med, uttrycks i mereller mindre omfattning i alla utredningar. I vilka situationer eller lärmiljöer eleven behöverstöd beskrivs mindre utförligt, men dock i fem av elva utredningar. Hur eleven ska få stöd,genom vilka metoder och/eller arbetssätt uttrycks i alla utredningar utom två. Beskrivningarnaär dock inte alltid särskilt tydliga med hur det ska gå till, alltså vilka metoder och arbetssättsom ska användas.Det är inte så enkelt att en utredningsmall är bra eller dålig, eller att pedagoger antingen harett kategoriskt eller ett relationellt perspektiv, utan det kan vara en kombination. Huruvida enelevs skolsituation och behov av särskilt stöd beskrivs på skol-, grupp- och individnivå kanbero på faktorer på flera olika nivåer.För att klara av att utreda på skol-, grupp- och individnivå måste specialpedagogen varamedveten om att det kan krävas ett långsiktigt utvecklingsarbete för att lyckas. Här ingår även handledning av pedagoger där specialpedagogen bör lyfta fram de kategoriska och relationella perspektiven för att de som arbetar i skolan ska få syn på sina egna positioner och förhållningsätt.Nyckelord: behov av särskilt stöd, dokumentanalys, pedagogisk utredning, skol-, grupp- ochindividnivå, systemteori
Summary / abstractLinda Gustavsson (2015). Pedagogical investigation as a working tool. An hermeneutic analysis. Special education program, School Development and Leadership, Learning and Society, Malmö UniversityBackgroundThere is an immanent lack of research on pedagogical investigations and it is unknown to which extent these investigations are useful tools for educators. Therefore, this study examines models of pedagogical investigations in more detail.The study targets investigation templates that are used to identify a student's situation at school before an action plan is established. The underlying reason is to observe how the template's design affects the description of the student's situation at school and how it shapes the need for assistance in the investigation.The study is based on the following research questions:• How are the learning environment, teaching content and methods described?• How are the student's special needs described?• How is student and guardian involvement covered?TheoryThe study follows a system theory approach, because a holistic perspective is necessary when investigating students in need of special support. The branch of system theory that this study focuses on is Bronfenbrenner’s ecology of development, which offers a model for analyzing students from a holistic perspective. In addition, the application of various perspectives of the field of special-need education contributes to a balanced picture of how the investigation templates relate to policy documents.MethodThe study analyses the texts qualitatively following a hermeneutic approach. General hermeneutic ideas of how to interpret and analyze texts are therefore the basis of this study. Accordingly, the comprehension of a message and not its explanation is the focus of this study. The analysis is built on a systematic description of the content of the investigations using a coding scheme. The coding units /items that are found are used in the further analysis of the material.ResultsOne of five schools maps the learning environment in the pedagogical investigation. Most schools do not question their ways of organizing their activities. Three schools describe the different approaches and methods they are using, but these descriptions are not extensive. The student’s source of difficulties is generally found on the individual level. Investigators do usually not examine or analyze learning situations that have turned out to been functionally adequate for the students. Possible tools or areas that students need support with are expressed in all investigations. The learning situations or environments that could be improved are however only described to a lesser extent (5 out of 11 schools). Methods, procedures and ways of organizing activities to support students are mentioned in all the investigations but two. The descriptions are however often rather unspecific on questions such as on how to do what.Neither are inquiry templates thoroughly good or bad, nor do teachers have either categorical or relational perspectives. Instead it is often a combination of factors on multiple levels that causes a student to be described at school, group and/ or individual levels.To be able to investigate at school, group and individual level a special-need educator needs to be aware that it may require a long-term developmental work in order to succeed. This also includes the supervision of educators. Special-need teacher should highlight the categorical and relational perspectives to those who work in school so that own roles and activities can be assessed with critical self-reflection.Keywords: document analysis, educational assessment, school, group and individual level, special needs, system theory

Abstract:

The focus of this research is what constitutes school ethos for a purposive sample of seven final year students in a Scottish secondary school. A review of existing literature on the topic of school ethos highlighted the importance that policy makers and practitioners in Scotland afford to the notion of a positive school ethos. Yet knowledge of the topic remains limited with only a narrow range of approaches to researching school ethos evident within the literature reviewed. This study begins by considering the ideas of the early twentieth century philosophies of Martin Heidegger (1889 – 1976) and Edith Stein (1891 – 1942). In their ideas about the human person and human relationships the conceptual tools: thrownness; beingwith; care (acts of solicitude); mood; and temporality are identified to investigate school ethos from a different perspective. The hermeneutic phenomenological tradition particularly Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s (1908 – 1961) notion of embodiment and Hans George Gadamer’s (1900 – 2002) ideas of: conversation; fusion of horizons; and the hermeneutic circle provide both the methodology and method to investigate the phenomenon that presents itself as school ethos from the student perspective. Data on the students’ lived experience of secondary school were collected by conversational interview and are presented as participant stories with each story organised around the same five explicative themes. The analysis of the data found that there was little evidence of the school’s declared ethos entering the lifeworld of the participants, rather school ethos is experienced for them as moods which surface from acts of solicitude. Although the small-scale nature of the study precludes wider generalisations from the findings the study highlights issues that may be useful to policy makers and practitioners. In particular, it suggests there is a need to pay greater attention to understanding the lifeworlds of students, to the lived experience of school ethos and on seeking further clarification around what constitutes positive acts of solicitude within the context of school.

Abstract:

Vi människor funderar ofta kring vår egen uppfattning dvs. vem vi är. Vi funderar också över vad vi vill bli. Vi ställs inför många andra frågor som handlar om identitet och livsfrågor. Livsfrågor som begrepp kan vara svåra att tolka och många gånger blandas begreppet ihop med andra begrepp som t.ex. existentiella frågor, livsåskådningsfrågor, livstolkningar osv. I ett annat sammanhang förknippas livsfrågor med etiska frågor och moral. Ett exempel på livsfrågor kan vara frågor om vad som är viktigt i livet, livets mening, vad som är ont och gott, vad som är rätt och orätt osv. Livsfrågor i t.ex. en lärobok kan också förknippas med dygder, moral och etik. Med utgångspunkt i tidigare forskning har jag velat undersöka och klargöra hur livsfrågor presenteras i tre läroböcker. I första hand har jag fokuserat på livsfrågor som tas upp i läroböcker för ämnet religionskunskap 1 för gymnasiet. De böcker jag valt att analysera är Religion 1 av Birgitta Thulin och Sten Elm, Religion 1 & 2 också skriven av Birgitta Thulin och Sten Elm samt Religion och andra livsåskådningar av Börje Ring. I bakgrunden för min undersökning ligger textanalys som metod och hermeneutik. Enligt vad som har förekommit i min studie kan livsfrågorna förknippas med livsåskådningsfrågor, existentiella frågor, livstolkningsfrågor osv. Livsfrågorna som beskrivs i läromedlen handlar bland annat om liv och död, etik och moral, sex och samlevnad, dygder osv. Kortfattat kan man säga att läromedlen i min undersökning är anpassade till läroplanerna och de innehåller en rad diskussionsfrågor. De diskussionsfrågorna är avsedda för elevernas diskussioner och inlämningsuppgifter i olika former.
We humans often think about who we are. Often these thoughts are about what we want to become. We face many questions about identity and life issues. Life issues as a concept can be difficult to interpret and we often mix this concept with other concepts such as existential issues, philosophy of life, life interpretations, etc. In another context, life issues are associated with ethics and morality. For example, life issues may refer to questions about what is important in life, what is the purpose of life, what is good and evil, what is right and wrong etc. Life issues in a school book can also be associated with virtues, moral and ethics. Based on previous research, I have wanted to examine and clarify how the questions of life are presented in three school books. In the first place, I have focused on life issues addressed in the three school books for Religion 1 for high school. The books I have chosen to analyze are Religion 1 by Birgitta Thulin and Sten Elm, Religion 1 & 2 also written by Birgitta Thulin and Sten Elm and Religion och andra livsåskådnigar by Börje Ring. In the background of my examination are text analysis method and hermeneutic. According to what has emerged in my study, life issues can be associated with philosophical questions, existential questions, life questions, etc. Life issues, in my study material, among other things, are about life and death, ethics and morality, sex and relationships, virtues etc. Briefly, I can say that the school books in my research, are adapted to the curriculum, and they contain a lot of discussion questions. The discussion questions are intended for students' discussions and assignments in different forms.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD
Arabic is the language of the Holy Qur'an, which was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who in turn dictates it to His companions. The Prophet's companions did not encounter any difficulty in the understanding and comprehension of the Qur‘anic verses simply because the Qur'an was revealed in a language variety with which they have been quite familiar. Yet, the companions of the prophet differ in their understanding of the Qur'an. Their understanding may vary according to their competencies and their closeness to the prophet. In addition, the Qur'an includes verses that appear to be contradictory. Some verses of the Qur'an, for instance, may imply that man is free to select either the path of faith or the path of blasphemy.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis was to deepen our understanding of how audiences represent male and female dark fictional characters (DFCs) by exploring how Harry Potter fans discuss four of these characters on Reddit. Drawing on affective disposition theory as a guiding framework as well as previous investigations of gender representation and online fan cultures, I collected and analyzed 117 posts (containing 9,693 comments) about four DFCs from the Harry Potter franchise. I chose two male DFCs (Lord Voldemort and Severus Snape) and two female ones (Bellatrix Lestrange and Dolores Umbridge) for my investigation. The data were analyzed using a productive hermeneutics approach. Fans’ representation of these characters intersected with the extent which the characters’ fictionality was salient, how they were visualized, the online culture of Reddit, and fans’ presumed identification with these characters. Bellatrix was defined by her portrayal by Helena Bonham Carter in the films and her combination of valuable masculine and feminine traits. Moreover, she was a figure of pure fantasy, which allowed fans to love her depravity. Umbridge and Snape, by contrast, were hated for intruding into the fantasy that Harry Potter offered, reminding fans of bullying and overly controlling teachers. Snape, however, was redeemed by his complexity and embodiment of geek masculinity. Voldemort was valued for his intellect and power but also criticized as a peer failing to rise to his intellectual potential; fans at turns identified with and undercut him through humor. Taken together, the results indicate a need to qualitatively explore how DFCs are received by audiences, as it can add further nuance to our understanding of how morality and gender influence media consumption.

Abstract:

Det vårdvetenskapliga begreppet försoning skapar möjligheter för människan att uppleva emotionell tillfredställelse i livet. Försoning sker inom människan och skapar en möjlighet att förenas med svåra livsöden. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa vad begreppet försoning är och hur det gestaltas i omvårdnad. I resultatet redovisas försoningens olika dimensioner inom människan. Försoning kan gestaltas som ett mänskligt accepterande, som en mänsklig förmåga att återta kontrollen, som ett mänskligt hopp, som en mänsklig förändring och som en mänsklig process. En modell presenteras i resultatet för att visa försoningens olika dimensioner som tillsammans bildar den inre kärnan den oändliga försoningen. De olika dimensionerna av försoning inom människan är i ständig rörelse. Begreppet försoning är inte ett välbeforskat begrepp inom vårdvetenskapen, utan det råder kunskapsluckor kring försoning i omvårdnad. Om mer evidens tas fram om begreppet försoning i omvårdnad, kan sjuksköterskor få redskap att i vårdprocessen förstå och främja försoning hos patienter.
The nursing scientific concept of reconciliation creates an opportunity for people to experience an emotional satisfaction in life. Reconciliation takes place inside the human and creates an opportunity to unite with difficult life situations. The purpose of this study was to explain what reconciliation is and how it takes shape in nursing. The results explain reconciliations different proportions inside the human. Reconciliation can be represented as a human acceptance, as a human's ability to regain control, as a human hope, as a human change and as a human process. A model in the result presents the different proportions of reconciliations. Together the different proportions form the infinite of reconciliation that together creates the inner core of reconciliation. The different proportions of reconciliation are constantly in motion. There is missing evidence for reconciliation in nursing science. If more sciences performed, nurses can get implements for the care process to understand how reconciliation takes shape in human and how nurses can promote reconciliations for patients.

Full text

Abstract:

The following study investigates the impact of the secular processes present in Early Modern Japan on Matsuo Bashō's prose. The theoretical basis for exploring this development is found in Durkheim’s distinction between the transcendent and the immanent, as well as the theoretical framework for secularism. The exploration of Bashō's writings is conducted through several key themes: self-presentation, people, religious concepts, nature and aestheticisms. From these categories a complex pattern emerges. It illustrates the enduring nature of the contemporary world-views through numerous references to and descriptions of existing systems of thought. Bashō's response to the dynamic societal changes of his time is an outright rejection of the new developments; instead he turns to nature and romanticism steeped in existing tradition.

Abstract:

Bakgrund Många mammor som fött barn prematurt önskar amning som uppfödning för sitt barn för bröstmjölkens immunologiska faktorer och som en kompensation för att graviditeten avslutats för tidigt. Amningens etablering kan vara komplicerad och kräva tålamod när barnet behöver vård. Beroende på barnets känslighet kan det ta olika lång tid tills barnet kan påbörja amningsträning. En av de viktigaste faktorerna för att amningen ska kunna etableras är att mamman får igång en tillräcklig mjölkproduktion motsvarande den mängd ett fullgånget barn skulle kräva. För att få igång en tillräcklig produktion är det bra att komma igång med urmjölkning så fort som möjligt efter barnets födelse. Mamman behöver stimulera mjölkproduktionen tills barnet ammar fullt. Syftet med studien var att belysa innebörden av urmjölkning för mammor vars barn fötts prematurt. Metod Det strategiska urvalet utgörs av sju mammor vars barn fötts före vecka 34 med erfarenhet av urmjölkning. Datainsamlingen består av öppna intervjuer och materialet har analyserades med en fenomenologisk hermeneutisk ansats. Resultatet visar att urmjölkning utförs i en oreflekterad ansträngning men att mammor är måna om de egna behoven samtidigt som behoven åsidosätts. Vårdkontexten kan kännas utlämnade och begränsande. Självtilliten får betydelse liksom strukturen. När utfallet inte blir som planerat kan sorgen innebära att förhålla sig till det som inte kan förändras. Känsla av hanterbarhet, begriplighet och meningsfullhet kan få betydelse för processen. Slutsats Ur ett vårdvetenskapligt perspektiv blir det betydelsefullt att utgå från den enskilda mammans upplevelser av urmjölkningen och stärka en god självtillit.
Background Many mothers who have given birth premature wish to breast feed their children for immunological reasons and as a compensation for a pregnancy that ended too early. The breast feeding may be complicated and in need of great patience as the child might need health care. Depending of the baby´s sensitivity it can vary in time for a child to start breast feeding. One of the important reasons for the mother to get her breast feeding started is to make milk production start, corresponding to the amount of milk that a fully mature baby would need. To get a sufficient production it is important to start emptying the breasts quick as possible after having given full extend. Aim with the study was to illuminate the meaning of emptying the breasts for mothers whos baby was born premature. Method Seven mothers who had given birth before week 34 and had experienced emptying breasts. The data collection come from interviews and the results have been analyzed by a fenomenological hermenutichal approach. Results shows that emptying the breasts is done without any effort but that mothers are eager to look at their own needs at the same time as their own needs are being put aside. The hospital care can make the women feel left out and controlled. Self-confidence gets important as well as the structure. When the result is not as you had planned sadness make you realize that things cannot be changed. The feeling of managing, understanding and meaningfulness fills you up. Conclusions looking at it from a scientific perspective it is very important to consider the individual mothers experience in how to empty the breasts from milk and how to strengthen her self-confidence.

Full text

Abstract:

Background: Personality Disorder treatment is a contentious subject in health care. Despite available research concerning the diagnosis itself and also available treatments, there is little research regarding treatment thresholds or defining how treatment decisions can be formulated. This problem has been identified by clinicians, patients, supervisors and specific organisations, particularly linked to recent healthcare changes associated with austerity measures. Research Question: How can mental health care staff use a formulated decision process concerning therapeutic interventions for people with PD, when considering the recent service changes and rationalisation of available treatments? Methods: An Action Research study has been conducted over a four year period, using predominantly qualitative methods including: a hermeneutic literature review (n=144 papers), patient questionnaires (n=15) and Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) of clinician and supervisor semi-structured interviews (n=10). Results: Difficulties have been found when making decisions with people who either do not accept their diagnosis and/or do not accept the current evidence-based treatments for personality disorder. Other challenges have been identified regarding the patient/clinician relationship, the level of distress the patient presents with, and also the clinician view concerning the individual, the diagnosis, and the available treatments. The IPA produced five super-ordinate themes related to decision-making regarding treatment choices for people with personality disorder, including: difficulties with boundary management, diagnostic stigma, a focus upon time, metacognitive ability, and the potential for iatrogenic harm. Conclusions: Multiple factors require consideration when examining treatment choices for people with a personality disorder, concerning the patient's individual symptom profile, needs, attitude towards treatments; the clinician's profession, attitudes, opinions, and wellness on the day of the assessment, and also the treatments available within the locality. A diagram has been presented summarising these formulation factors. Recommendations have been made based upon the results, analysis, synthesis and discussion sections, indicating potential practice changes and areas for future research.

Full text

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Det finns samband mellan den gravida kvinnans förväntningar inför förlossning och förlossningsupplevelsen. Trots tidigare förlossningserfarenhet tycks omföderskor förvånansvärt nog inte ha mer realistiska förväntningar inför förlossning än vad förstföderskor har. Syfte: Att synliggöra tvåföderskors förväntningar inför kommande förlossning. Metod: En kvalitativ metod med hermeneutisk textanalys inspirerad av Gadamer användes. Nio tvåföderskor i åldrarna 26-33 år intervjuades med hjälp av en halvstrukturerad intervjuguide. Resultat: De analyserade intervjutexterna mynnade ut i fyra huvudteman: Blandade känslor – förväntningar formas av första förlossningsupplevelsen, Partnern – en stöttepelare för vissa, Barnmorskan som vägledare genom förlossningen och ”Go with the flow” – förväntningar på kontroll under förlossning. I resultatet framgår att det finns en uppfattning hos kvinnorna om att den första förlossningsupplevelsen har stor inverkan på förväntningarna inför kommande förlossning, på gott och ont. Det finns en rädsla hos kvinnorna att det förväntas av dem att de på grund av sin tidigare förlossningserfarenhet redan ”kan”, vilket leder till oro. Konklusion: Tvåföderskorna har överlag positiva förväntningar inför sin kommande förlossning. Trots positiva förväntningar ges uttryck för en oro om att barnmorskan förväntar sig att de på grund av sin tidigare förlossningserfarenhet redan ”kan”. Tvåföderskor är således i behov av barnmorskans individuella och professionella stöd.
Background: There is a connection between the pregnant woman's expectations of childbirth and the actual childbirth experience. Aim: To illustrate multiparous women’s expectations of their forthcoming childbirth. Method: This study used a qualitative method with hermeneutic text analysis inspired by Gadamer. Nine multiparous women aged 26-33 years were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide. Results: Analysis of the interviews revealed four main themes: Mixed emotions – expectations are formed by the first childbirth experience, The partner – for some, an important source of support, The midwife as a guide through childbirth and “Go with the flow” - expectations of control during childbirth. Results showed that the women held the opinion that the first childbirth experience has a major impact on their expectations for future childbirth, both good and bad. There was a concern amongst the women that because of their previous childbirth experience, they would be expected to "know what to do". Conclusion: Women generally have positive expectations of childbirth. Given the concern of these multiparous women that they may be considered as experienced in childbirth, it is clear that the midwife should be prepared to offer professional support to multiparous women based on their individual needs.

Abstract:

Beginning in 2000 and continuing today, the University of North Carolina (UNC) German Consortium offers online German courses to undergraduate students across sixteen of the seventeen UNC public universities. The delivery of online classes differs per faculty member and little previous research investigated the UNC German Consortium's learning technologies. This dissertation investigates the evolution of learning technologies within the UNC German Consortium over the last sixteen years among German faculty from different UNC public universities. Seven faculty and one administrator shared their experiences through interviews. The methodology for this research was hermeneutic phenomenology. Interviewees shared their experiences with learning technology and teaching in the UNC German Consortium including how learning technologies changed over time. Interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed to deduce themes. Themes included the importance of the North Carolina Research Education Network (NC REN) for teaching German online, an asynchronous versus synchronous debate, how professors taught in synchronous courses, the importance of learning management systems (LMS) systems, the resilient characteristics of UNC German Consortium faculty, and the need for continual learning as an instructor.

Abstract:

Since conflict studies became its own independent field, it has developed rapidly. Some argue conflict researchers must demonstrate that while conflict occurs at different social levels (e.g., inter-personal to international), there must be sufficient common attributes to justify its existence as an independent field. This justification requires formal theory based on a multi-disciplinary approach. Since its introduction in 1964, the substantive Dual Concerns Model (DCM) and subsequent iterations, have provided the basis for instruments used to research conflict management, behavior, mode, and style outside the narrow scope of its original sample group of Caucasian male managers within a large American industrial plant. Instruments based on the DCM were used to represent conflict behavior within, between, and across cultures. An emic theory was expanded to etic theory and used in place of formal theory. Therefore, this theoretical dissertation fills this void and develops formal (etic) theory. This researcher used comparative analysis to examine 187 quantitative studies from a variety of disciplines, with a cumulative sample size from these studies of 63,619 individuals. These studies examined conflict resolution behavior individually or with 274 other variables to provide the framework for developing a formal theory. The finding of this research is the development of the Pierre-Louis Conflict Continuum Model (PCCM), which examines behavior through the dimensions of cultural values, as represented by individualism and collectivism, and legitimacy of power and ideology. This research contributes a new theoretical paradigm to the field of conflict studies.

Abstract:

The present thesis reports an empirical study of how ten remedial teachers or special remedial teachers, all women, encountered reality as supervisors or tutors in schools during the 1990s. The study sought to define the conditions for supervision and tutoring in the remedial-teaching function. Data was collected in two steps. The preparatory step consisted of a scrutiny of Report DsU 1986:13 on the modified remedial-teacher function, and perusal of the referees’ comments thereon. The second step consisted ofinterviews with all ten participants three years after their training as supervisors/tutors at the Stockholm Institute of Education. Neither in the above Report nor in the referees’ comments was supervision defined or discussed. Despite this resistance, supervision is required by the macro level for the modified remedial-teacher function. Regarding the micro-level situation for supervising in school, two themes were distinguished: an organisational theme and a legitimacy theme. The informants saw school management, the organisation’s pre-understanding of supervision and the profession’s continual adaptation to areas of knowledge not possessed by teachers as important aspects. The legitimacy theme expresses how differentiation of the supervisory task and the design of teaching posts influence the implementation. The supervision/tutoring examined here is described through six experiential themes: the dialogical here-and-now-theme, the relational theme, the didactic ”technical” theme, the reflective and self-fostering theme, the change theme and the leadership theme. Remedial-educational supervision as described in the study appears as vertical but does not extend to the depth of therapeutic intervention. It is seen as an ethical act where consideration or recognition, rather than care, is a distinctive feature. Care may represent ”tacit” gender-loaded knowledge and needs to be discussed in educational contexts where supervision or tutoring is included in the special-remedial-teacher function.

Abstract:

The problem this study addresses is that the Christian church in the postmodern west is in a condition of zero growth and even decline. Conventional strategies intended to reverse this condition have tended to focus on improved implementation of traditional methodologies of church growth. Despite the application of such strategies the church continues to decline, indicating the urgent need for additional approaches. Practical theology suggests such an additional approach: greater engagement with the local community. Certain churches have been identified whose congregations, acting, it is believed, under the leadership of the Spirit, are engaging their immediate communities in a wide variety of ways often with the result that people touched by the church respond with a new or renewed interest in the Christian faith and in some instances join or rejoin the Christian family. The implication, and the hypothesis of the study, is that widespread application of the practices of such community-engaging congregations, called “holistic” congregations, might have a positive impact in terms of growth in the wider church community. To determine the validity of this implication a small-scale inductive, empirical, effect-to-cause study was undertaken. Combining qualitative and quantitative research methods intended to identify the ethos of those churches that meet the developed criteria of “holistic” churches, as compared to a second group of “non-holistic” churches, the study addresses the question: Is it possible to discover the ethos of holistic churches with a view to reproducing that ethos in other churches? Analysis of the data gathered during the study identifies a number of specific characteristics shared by the holistic churches. In addition to suggesting strategies that may profitably be investigated and implemented by churches that wish to become, or become more, holistic in terms of their outreach ministry, the results also advocate the further study of holism as a possible key feature to the future of the Church.

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of the experiences of nurses who have undertaken training in Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). While the clinical outcomes of using SFBT, and other psychological therapies, to treat clients have been the subject of much research, the outcomes of training therapists to use SFBT has been relatively unexplored. It is, therefore, my intention to address, in part, this uncharted area of practice. Utilising a mixed methodology, the study is divided into two Stages. In Stage I, an original Solution Focused (SF) methodology is developed and used to conduct individual interviews with twenty participants. Interviews are transcribed and treated as narrative texts, and are then subjected to multi-factored analysis enabling the synthesis of a ‘group narrative’ and the construction of a typology of experience. In Stage II, I conduct further in-depth interviews with three of the original participants and utilise a hermeneutic methodology, drawing on the work of Hans-Georg Gadamer, to engage with the texts generated from these interviews. The texts are explored thematically, and through the nursing metaparadigm of Jacqueline Fawcett, and are compared with a metaparadigm of SF practice. The research suggests that training is SFBT can have a profound effect on the clinical practice, and professional identity, of nurses, and that this is related to the paradigm of nursing which informs their practice. Where the nursing paradigm is of the dominant ‘assessment and delivery of care needs’ modality, SFBT training has little to offer the nurse; however, where the nursing paradigm reflects an ‘interpersonal, dynamic’ modality based on shared relationships, training in SFBT can be a transformative experience for the nurse. This research makes an original contribution to the field of SFBT and to our understanding of the relationship between SFBT and nursing. Building on the work of earlier scholars, it argues that SFBT is congruent with some nursing paradigms, and not all nursing paradigms as previously suggested. It also advances our understanding of how the scope and field of SF practice may be delineated.

Abstract:

Syftet är att undersöka vad som kännetecknar upplevelser och erfarenheter av familjehemsplaceringar med huvudsakligt fokus på relationer och familjens betydelse. Studien utgår från ett kvalitativt, hermeneutiskt förhållningssätt med tematisk analys gjord på svar från skriftliga intervjuer. Deltagarna bestod av personer med olika erfarenheter av familjehemsplaceringar, dels genom att ha varit placerad, dels tidigare arbetat som familjehemssekreterare. De teman som visade sig känneteckna upplevelser och erfarenheter av familjehemsplaceringar var familjeliv, känslor och utveckling som till stor del handlar om inställningen hos berörda parter. Detta är faktorer som påverkar dels hur pass lyckad placeringen blir, dels huruvida en relation uppstår mellan familjehemplacerad. Utifrån denna studies resultat kan slutsatsen dras att familjehemsplaceringar är komplext och innefattar många faktorer. I och med att placeringens utfall verkar påverkas av inställningen hos berörda parter är det viktigt att arbeta för att samtliga är positiva till vården, samt att den placerade får hjälp att kunna ta emot vården och känslomässigt ta till sig familjehemmet.
The aim of this study is to examine experiences of placements in foster care, with the main focus on relations and the importance of the foster family. The study is based on the qualitative, hermeneutic approach with a thematic analysis made on the answers of the participants’ written accounts. The participants consisted of persons with different experiences of foster care, either they had previously been placed in out of home care, or they worked as social workers. The themes that seemed to characterize experiences of placements in foster care was family life, emotions and development, which to a great extend also depended on the attitudes of the parties involved. These are factors which appeared to affect both how successful the placement become, and whether a relationship arises between the foster home and the person placed in foster care. Based on these results it can be concluded that placements in foster care are complex and include various factors. As the placements outcome seems influenced by the attitudes of the parties concerned, it is important to work towards ensuring that all concerned are positive and that the person who is placed receive help, in order to be able to benefit from the care offered from the foster family and emotionally embrace them.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to examine differences and similarities in the news coverage among the presidential candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the presidential election 2020. We also examined how the candidates are framed in the different newspapers. In this study, similarities and differences regarding national variances in news articles from Swedish and American newspapers, also where a important part of the research. We did a qualitative text analysis based on 48 online articles from 6 different newspapers, the 3 largest from each country. The newspapers in question are USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times from USA and Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter and Expressen from Sweden. The result showed that there were more differences between the two candidates than similarities, in the way they were presented in news media. Donald Trump was often portrayed as the president that had a very harsh tone in his statements, and he was throwing out accusations towards Biden and the Democrats without having any facts to back them up. This made him look rather ignorant and sometimes even dumb. Biden, on the other hand, was portrayed as the one who is more fitting for the role as president, based on the writings about his previous experience, and many of the articles in the analysis portrayed him as a friendly family man. The focus point on both candidates during the election was who was leading the election, who was leading in which state, and how much that specific candidate was winning by. This was a topic that frequently showed up in articles from both countries and they often portrayed the whole election as some kind of contest or game, instead of focusing on what the candidates wanted to do and change about the country. The American newspapers more frequently wrote about the statistics when it came to who was leading the election, and their news coverage wasn't as clear as the Swedish news coverage. The Swedish newspaper often used secondary sources, for example from American newspapers, since they weren't able to be where the election takes place, which means they are re-telling the things that happened during the election. Other than that, there weren't that many differences between the news coverage in the US and Sweden.

Full text

Abstract:

The overall aim of this licentiate thesis was to describe encounters in hospital care from the perspectives of nurses and patients. It focuses specifically on nurses’ views of shortcomings in patient-care encounters in one hospital (I) and the meanings of participation in hospital care as narrated by patients (II). Three focus group discussions with 15 registered nurses were conducted, and data were analyzed using thematic content analysis (I). Narrative interviews were conducted with 15 patients in hospital care, and the interviews were analyzed with a phenomenological hermeneutic interpretation (II). This licentiate thesis shows that a shared understanding is considered as central for both the nurses and the patients in the hospital-care encounter. The nurses demonstrate the need to understand, to create space, and also to be available for vulnerable patients. The patients describe the need to be understood and to understand their own situations. This thesis suggests that positive encounters in hospital care imply that nurses need to take responsibility for creating a mutual dialogue where the patient experiences himself or herself as a co-creator in a trustful context. When nurses acknowledge and confirm the vulnerability of their patients, it becomes possible to support them to participate in an active manner. A well-functioning team, as well as a coherent environment, is, in this thesis, understood as a precondition for positive hospitalcare encounters.

Abstract:

This paper addresses the question about what role typography plays in the interpretation of a text. From three different handbooks in typography arguments are gathered and categorized in to three categories: roman types, san serif and others. Interviews with people from the graphic design area are also a part of the paper and are accounted for in the discussion part of the paper. Areas of theory are a broad hermeneutic view based on Hans-Georg Gadamers thoughts, which have sub categories such as: Michel Foucault’s theory about discourses, John Swales genre theory and Anders Björkvall’s thoughts on typography and multi-modal texts. The result of the paper is that all typography, even the one often called the invisible typography, is interpreted by the reader who gathers it’s pre-knowledge from genre, history, culture and discourses. This means that typography plays an important role in the interpretation of a text. Key words: typography, interpretation, hermeneutic, Hans- Georg Gadamer, discourse, Michel Foucault, genre analysis, John Swales, Multi- modal, Anders Björkvall, semiotic.
Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om vilken roll typografin spelar för tolkningen av en text. Från tre olika handböcker i typografi samlas argument in och kategoriseras i tre kategorier: antikva, sanserif och övriga. Även intervjuer med personer yrkesverksamma i det grafiska fältet genomförs och redovisas sedan i diskussionen. Teoretisk utgångspunkt hämtas från Hans-Georg Gadamers tankar om hermeneutik, på vilken följande underkategorier av teorier följer: Michel Foucaults diskursteori, John Swales genreteori och Anders Björkvalls tankar om typografi och multimodala texter. Resultatet pekar mot att all typografi, även den som ofta kallas för den osynliga typografin, tolkas av mottagaren som i sin tur samlat sina förkunskaper från genre, historia, kultur och diskurs. Detta innebär att typografi spelar en viktig roll i tolkningen av en text. Nyckelord: typografi, tolkning, hermeneutik, Hans-Georg Gadamer, diskurs, Michel Foucault, genreanalys, Johan Swales, multimodalitet, Anders Björkvall, semiotik.

Abstract:

Thesis (DTh)--Stellenbosch Univesity, 2004
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The hermeneutical nexus and an undenominational Bible School. This dissertation arose out of reflections on the Carroll Handbook Jor Congregational Studies and inter alia seeks to give a philosophical base to that work. Noting the frequent references to hermeneutical principles, the researcher found that one of them were dealt with adequately in considering congregations as carriers of faith. There being no difference in principle between a congregation and a Bible School, the dissertation deals with both. It was apparent that there is a nexus (a binding together) of hermeneutical principles and processes in such an institution that forms the thick discourse in these carriers of faith. Having been associated with a Bible School for a quarter of a century, the researcher was aware that such institutions, like congregations were badly in need of a metacritical approach in order to meet changing conditions and new challenges. This dissertation attempts as a starting point to have a better understanding of the identity of the institution. The Bible School, as an historical reality, has had and still has a vast influence particularly in the Third World. This was exemplified by the growth and flowering of so-called Bible School Movement which is described and which revealed hermeneutical principles and processes which were essentially describing its identity in broad terms. Some of these processes are critiqued. In an attempt to find a central focus for a Bible School, the researcher found that subject to the main purpose of the church (the increase among men of the love of god and one's neighbour according to H Richard Niebuhr) there are in fact so many foci among Bible Schools that he could only conclude that God uses the gifts He gives to His Church in different ways and different circumstances as He wills. It was then found necessary to examine the application of hermeneutics to an institution seeing that metacriticism is a hermeneutical exercise and Carroll used many terms implying hermeneutics. For this purpose foundations were sought in Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Gadamer and especially Paul Ricoeur. Hermeneutics changed fundamentally over the period covered by these scholars, from a psychological to a literary base. The researcher found it necessary to draw from both the psychological and the literary approaches. He seeks to make a synthesis between Carroll (and Hopewell who initiated Carroll's work) and Ricoeur because the most fundamental methodology of both require a narrative form, a text. Regrettably Carroll was unable to give any philosophical base to his main point of "sum it up in story' which meant that the life of the congregation over a selected period of time was to be reduced to a narrative. This has been called the thick discourse of the congregation. The philosophical hermeneutics of Ricoeur, however, gives an advanced literary analysis and the researcher extrapolates and applies this to institutions to make a synthesis with Carroll's institutional insights. A key element in Ricoeur's hermeneutics is that discourse is the event of language and is understood as meaning. In the synthesis attempted this thick discourse of the institution is expounded as a kind of locutionary act, i.e. a speech act. The thick discourse of the institution is multi-faceted covering language, culture, time, space and matter, which are the events of discourse understood as meaning. The Carroll model requires that the congregational story be reduced to narrative form, i.e. a text. It follows that the Ricoeurean concepts of distanciation and appropriation as applied to institutions take effect and these ultimately involves the congregation in an enlarged selfunderstanding. In the appropriation of the text to which the congregational discourse is reduced, a new world-view emerges, a different self-identity is discovered. This, the -- researcher suggests, requires a postlocutionary act so that from being-in-the-world the institution becomes something new. Becoming (one of Carroll's main concepts) requires reimaging and re-imaging requires metacriticism. For this focus and boundaries are required as an institution is an open system. In the end a complementary relationship between Carroll and Ricoeur is advocated as part of a thick discourse in this preliminary study of institutional hermeneutics.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsing het ontstaan uit nadenke oor Carroll se Handbook for Congregational Studies as 'n moontlike prakties-teologiese basis vir 'n ondersoek na die identiteit van instellings soos Bybelskole. In Carroll word herhaaldelik verwys na hermeneutiese faktore soos gemeentes as draers van die geloof. Hierdie dissertasie wil beweer dat daar in beginsel geen verskil is tussen sulke instellings en gemeentes nie: albei is draers van die geloof. Dit was gou duidelik dat daar 'n nexus ('n saamgehegtheid) van hermeneutiese beginsels en prosesse is wat binne so 'n instelling funksioneer as 'n "thick discourse" daarvan. Die navorser was betrokke by 'n Bybelskool vir meer as 'n kwarteeu en het deeglik besef dat sulke instellings, net soos gemeentes, 'n dringende behoefte het aan 'n metakritiese benadering, veral in tye van snelle veranderinge. Hierdie dissertasie wil help om langs hierdie hermeneutiese weg 'n beter be_car-;f' verstaan te kry van die identiteit en prosesse wat instellings het. Bybelskole het gehad, en het nog steeds 'n groot invloed in die geloofswereld, veral in Derde Wereld opset. Die groei en bloei van die Bybelskool Beweging word beskrywe, veral in terme van die hermeneutiese beginsels en prosesse wat die identiteit manifesteer. Sommige van hierdie prosesse word krities beskrywe. Verder probeer die navorsing om 'n sentrale fokus van 'n Bybelskool te vind, maar het bevind dat die doelstellende fokus van 'n kerk, soos deur H Richard Niebuhr uitgebeeld, lei tot 'n uiteenlopende diversiteit van foci. Dus het hy hom berus by sy bevinding dat God gawes aan sy Kerk gee en dit benut soos Hy wil. Die navorsing vra dan hoe hermeneutiese beginsels, veral die van metakritiek, toegepas kan word op die hermeneutiese benadering van Carroll. Hierin moes teruggevra word na die heremeneutiese ontwikkeling vanaf Schleiermacher na Dilthey, Gadamer en veral Ricoeur. In hierdie ontwikkeling verskuif die basis van die hermeneutiek vanaf 'n psigologiese na 'n literere. Die navorsing probeer dan 'n sintese maak tussen Carroll (en sy voorganger Hopewell) en Ricoeur op grond van hulle gemeenskaplike metodologie gebou op 'n narratiewe benadering. Ongelukkig is gevind dat Carroll nie 'n goeie filosofiese basis aan sy kemgedagte gee nie, naamlik om die gemeente "op te som as verhaal" nie. Dit beteken dat die bestaan van 'n gemeente oor 'n bepaalde periode gereduseer word tot die blote verhaal daarvan, of die "thick description" daarvan. Ricoeur help die navorsing om 'n tree verder te gee met sy literere-analise. Dit het die navorser gehelp om dit te ekstrapoleer en so toe te pas dat 'n sintese met Carroll moontlik word. 'n Sleutelbegrip in Ricoeur se hermeneutiek is dat diskoers 'n taalgebeure is wat betekenisdraend is. In genoernde sintese word die "thick discourse" van 'n instelling 'n soort lokusionere handeling (of 'n sogenaamde "speech act"). Hierdie diskoers van 'n instelling het 'n veelheid fasette soos taal, kultuur, tyd, ruimte, ens - wat intrinsiek is aan genoemde gebeure of diskoers wat betekenisdraend is. Deur die gebruik van Ricoeur se konsepte van distansiasie en appropriasie en dan toegepas op instellings word die selfverstaan van 'n instelling verruim. Daardeur word nuwe lewenswerelde en selfverstaan ontdek. Die navorsing beklemtoon dat 'n soort postlokusionere handeling nodig is om tot iets nuut in 'n veranderende wereld te geraak. Dit weer veronderstel 'n soort van her-verbeelding ("reimaging") in 'n metakritiese benadering. Daarin is egter grense nodig waarbinne 'n instelling as 'n nuwe oop sisteem kan funksioneer. Aan die einde word dus 'n komplementere verhouding tussen Carroll en Ricoeur voorgestel as deel van genoemde "thick discourse" as die basis van hierdie voorlopige navorsing oor institutionele hermeneutiek.

Abstract:

Aim The work seeks to explore the emotions felt by pre registration nursing students during their programme of study. How nursing students identify and manage their emotions and the effect this has on their lives will be analysed, and suggestions offered on how the findings can influence educational practices. Background Emotion work is an important aspect of nursing practice although one which may be overlooked during educational preparation. It is essential to support nursing students in a meaningful way to ensure that they can maintain a sense of self whilst managing the emotional challenges faced. This is important for the sake of their own and the patients well being. Approach Data was uncovered using the thoughts and feelings taken from fifteen unstructured interviews involving a sample of pre registration nursing students at a UK University. An exploratory approach underpinned by Heideggerian hermeneutic phenomenology has been taken. Written in first person, the work takes a reflexive stance and uses the researcher’s own stories and thoughts alongside the work of other authors and the data, to fully co-constitute the text. In this way a different understanding of the issues surrounding emotional nurse being is uncovered. Findings The findings revealed emotional nurse being as a multi faceted phenomenon with three main constituents. These relate to authenticity, being professional and coping. Emotional nurse being was found to be characterised by anxiety, frustration, anger and sadness. At times nursing students struggled to cope with their emotions and felt they did not get the necessary support. In some cases they felt isolated and one student left the programme. Their ability to cope related to feelings of vulnerability, past coping mechanisms and the amount of external support offered to them from practice and University staff. The findings suggest that further ways are required to support the emotional needs of nursing students. Conclusion The work adds to the growing body of knowledge on emotion work amongst nursing students. The term emotional nurse being is used to identify the phenomenon and provide a way of thinking about this important aspect of nursing work. Creative ways in which educators can provide mutual support and sharing with students is offered. In this way nursing students can retain a sense of who they are, and grow emotionally through their work which will ultimately become more meaningful both to themselves and those for whom they care.

For these changes, it was considered as fundamental aspects, a close relationship between doing and thinking and the possibility of experiencing the concepts presented in a theory , besides that, the confidence that the multipliers could think and act as critical and reflective people. It was always essential to have the visions of the human being/ man , world and education that guide the choices of actions during the course. The dialogue was seen as a tool for the construction and exchange of a knowledge in a perspective different to the reproduction of technical naturalized knowledge

Como resultado, descreveu as transformações ocorridas em todos os participantes e identificou aspectos que possibilitaram tais mudanças. Multiplicadores e pais apresentaram dificuldades iniciais para compreender as práticas dialógicas, mas, ao longo do curso, mostraram o desenvolvimento de uma postura mais autônoma, com a criação espontânea de intervenções críticas e fundamentadas para questões do âmbito educativo e da comunidade. Os pesquisadores precisaram lidar com a quebra de suas expectativas iniciais, fazendo uma constante revisão de suas práticas e propostas e apresentando uma abertura para modificações, só possível com um contato permanente com os princípios que norteavam o trabalho. Para essas mudanças, considerou-se como aspectos fundamentais uma estreita relação entre o fazer e o pensar, a possibilidade de experienciar os conceitos apresentados teoricamente e a confiança de que os multiplicadores pudessem pensar e agir de forma crítica e reflexiva. Foi fundamental ter sempre presentes as visões de homem, mundo e educação que nortearam as escolhas de ações durante o curso. O diálogo mostrou-se como ferramenta para a construção e troca de saberes nessa perspectiva alternativa à reprodução de técnicas e saberes naturalizados

Abstract:

Denna studie är en undersökning av hur människor beskriver mening utifrån sig själva i förhållande till vår samtid. För detta ändamål berörs psykologiska områden som existentiell-, positiv- och religionspsykologi samt delar av religion och existentiell filosofi. Studiens empiri har framställts via intervjuer med fyra informanter som rekryterats genom ett bekvämlighetsurval på ett universitet i södra Sverige. Materialet har därefter tolkats och analyserats utifrån hermeneutisk metodik och tematiska analys. Vad som framkom i studien som betydelsefullt för uppfattningen av mening var frihet och informanternas föresats att ha en framtida familj, däremot uppfattades inte mening som en slutdestination eller ett mål utan det beskrevs som ett föränderligt förlopp där flera faktorer spelar in.
This study is a research on how people describe meaning from themselves in relation to our time. For this purpose, psychological areas such as existential, positive and religious psychology as well as parts of religion and existential philosophy has been utilized. The study’s empirical data has been gathered from interviews with four informants who have been recruited through a convenience sample at a university in southern Sweden. The material has subsequently been interpreted and analyzed based on hermeneutic methodology and thematic analysis. What emerged from the study as important for the perception of meaning was freedom and the informants' intention to have a future family, on the other hand, meaning was not considered a final destination or a goal, but it was described as a changing process in which several factors play a role.

A pesquisa elaborada consiste na análise fenomenológica dos Juizados Especiais Criminiais, no qual ganha relevo a aplicação dos institutos despenalizadores da transação penal e da suspensão condicional do processo. De início será realizado um panorama geral da situação de crise do direito e do sistema penal brasileiro na atualidade. Em seguida, serão esboçados os pressupostos fundamentais da hermeneutica filosófica que servirão como um instrumento de ruptura com o modo de pensar proposto pela dogmática jurídica. Posteriormente, será feita uma abordagem hermenêutica sobre o princípio da proporcionalidade em seu duplo sentido: a proibição de excesso e a proibição da proteção deficiente. Ao final, será demonstrado como esse princípio poderá servir como vetor de sentido para uma adequada interpretação voltada a proteção dos valores fundamentais insculpidos na Constituição da República

Following, the fundamental presupposition of the philosophical hermeneutic that will fit as an instrument of rupture with the way of thinking proposed by the legal dogmatic. Subsequently, an hermeneutic approach about the proportion principle, in its double sense, will be done: the prohibition of the excess and the prohibition of the deficient protection.

Abstract:

Introduction. The aim of this master’s thesis is to examine and interpret the role of the concept accessibility in the function of the public library in Sweden. Method. A qualitative method is used to carry out semi-structured interview with public library staff. A connection between the concept accessibility and regulatory documents is also made. Analysis. Through a hermeneutical approach and an understanding of accessibility in the Swedish language and a larger political context, an interpretation and analysis is done. The concept is mainly understood through its social, spatial and comprehensive aspects. Accessibility is also interpetreted through an active aspect. Results. The mission to create a library that is ”accessible for all”, as it is formulated in Swedish library law, is in many ways internalised in the organisation. Social accessibility is a way to make users feel welcome, and the staff plays the function of a portal to the library. Accessibility, as a feeling or an experience, through the interpretation of the individual, is shown to be important from the point of view of library staff. This subjective feeling interplays with the universal principle ”accessibility for all” and how the concept is tied to practical functions. Conclusion. Accessibility, as it is understood through an universal principle, creates an ”interpetrative space”, where fulfilling an equal access to the public library can be problematic. The study shows it’s the users interpetration of what the function the public library has is what steers its function and in turn its accessibility. It creates an interpetrative space where the public library can be constructed and function in different ways which makes the universal principle of equal access hard to uphold. This means a public library that is ”accessible for all” can be understood as a library that is in constant change to reach this goal. This is a two years master’s thesis in Library and Information Science.

Abstract:

This research aims at examining biblical hermeneutics in Bembaland, Zambia. Home to 4.8 million people, 50%-75% of whom are nominally Christian and 44% Catholic, with literacy levels at 61.4%, this thesis explores the interplay of orality and scribality in the Bembaland experiences of biblical hermeneutics. The terminus a quo of this thesis is that the shift in preferred medium from orality to scribablity in Bembaland affected not only hermeneutical understandings of the Bible, but also the broader social praxis. This can be identified in changed ways both of thinking and the derivation of meaning, both in terms of heteroglossal interpretation and the patterning and understanding of authority. The terminus ad quem of the thesis is that rather than hold orality and textuality in an antithetical binarism, it is more fruitful to pursue a negotiated and hybrid approach which holds oral and textual poetics in constructive symbiosis. In making this argument, rather than calling in the hermeneutical bulldozer of one single method, our approach is to unlock the Bemba experiences using a bricolage of analytical tools which have included contextual fieldwork, postcolonial critique, communication theory, spatial theory and linguistic analysis. In particular, the argumentation is alert first to the deconstruction of textual interpretations authored by the dominant and literate elite; secondly, the silencing of colonized 'others' as subjects of their own history; thirdly, the emancipation of misued biblical passages through hermeneutics of suspicion, retrieval, restoration and transformation. As a worked example, I have proposed a negotiated, oral-textual and hybrid hermeneutics of Rom 13:1-7. The outcomes of the 'oral-scribal' analysis undertaken partially echo McLuhan's famous phrase, 'The medium is the message.' The evidence suggests that there has been a tectonic shift in the biblical hermeneutics of Bembaland. Succinctly, this may be characterised principally by the move from oral/aural to chirographical/typographical media management in which communication and space were utilised as a means of exerting power and control. In the particular Bemba context of << Ubufumu e busosa >> - 'Royalty is constituted by speech' the effect is seismic since tribal authority has hitherto been constituted by the spoken rather than the written word. Thus informed, the research proposes a rebalancing of this destabilizing shift using two metaphors. Firstly, hearing/reading the word under an African tree as << Teleela Mulumbe >> ['Hear the news'} has the potential to open up what James Maxey has referred to as the oral ethos of the Bible in a context that is still characterised by residual orality; secondly, hearing/reading the word in Terra Nullius, ['unclaimed land'] where both oral/textual media hybridity and community hybridity are the catchwords. In like manner, this allows for border-crossing or 'transgressive hermeneutics' that is meta-gendered and trans-ethnic in its redemptive power.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates if privatization of the Swedish healthcare system influences our view on the meaning of equality. This system is based on the principle that all people are equals and that healthcare should be provided on the basis of need. I apply critical ideology analysis to investigate how our view of equality might change because of the evolvement of society. A critical view may be explained as an interest in exploring things that seem obvious to many. Important questions to answer are why equality is regarded as such a natural concept in the society and how healthcare is actually provided. I analyze government documents, such as debates and inquiries about privatization and identify a complexity regarding the conception of equality and its relation to ideas of freedom and justice.

Abstract:

Vi har en uppfattning om att internationell adoption och internationellt adopterade ofta associeras med TV4:s tv-program Spårlöst. Det gör att programmet har stort inflytande över vilken bild av adoption och adopterade som sänds ut i media. Vi har därför valt att göra en kvalitativ textanalys som undersöker hur Spårlöst framställer internationell adoption och internationellt adopterade. Syftet med studien är att synliggöra och kritiskt granska framställningarna. Vi hoppas att studien ska bidra till ett mediesamhälle som inkluderar adoption och adopterade mer. Studien bygger på konstruktivism och dess inriktning socialkonstruktionism. Studiens analysmaterial är valt utifrån avsnitten som visades under säsongen hösten 2016 med hjälp av den dramaturgiska kurvan. Genom att använda oss av hermeneutiken kan vi tolka textens innehåll och urskilja framställningarna i programmet. Tolkningarna stöds även av barmhärtighetsprincipen. Studiens slutsatser är att internationell adoption främst framställs som en väg till bättre förutsättningar, men också som en vinstdrivande verksamhet och som osäkert. Ytterligare slutsatser är att adopterade ofta framställs som positiva till sin adoption. Adopterade framställs även som identitetssökande och nyfikna personer, men också som personer som värdesätter familjerelationer.
Our perception is that international adoption and international adoptees often are associated with the tv-program Spårlöst shown on TV4. This could mean that the program may have a great influence over the images of adoption and adoptees shown in media. Therefore, we have chosen to do a qualitative text analysis which examines how Spårlöst portrays international adoption and international adoptees. The purpose of the study is to highlight and critically view the portrayals. We hope our study will contribute to a more including media society concerning adoption and adoptees. The study is based on constructivism and its orientation on social constructionism. The study’s analytical material is chosen from the episodes that were shown in the fall season of 2016 by using the dramaturgical curve. We can interpret the content of the text and distinguish the portrayals in the program by using the hermeneutics. The interpretations are also supported by the principle of charity. The study’s conclusions are that international adoption mainly is portrayed as a way to better conditions, but also as a profit organization and as unsafe. Further conclusions are that adoptees often are portrayed as positive towards their adoption. The adoptees are also portrayed as identity seeking and curious people. The study also shows that adoptees value relationships within the family.

Abstract:

This dissertation is a theoretical study with a hermeneutical praxis. The portfolio consists of four interrelated sections that combine research and theory with discourse and creativity: (a) "Part One: Overview: Freud, Discourse Analysis, and Otherness: The Historical Hermeneutics of Creativity and Aesthetics in the Modern Subject Formations of Writing and Psychoanalysis"; (b) "Part Two: Bridging Thesis: The Metaphor of Meaning: The Uncanny Nature of Discourse in Modern Narratives"; (c) "Part Three: Thesis: Psychoanalytic Theory and Creativity: Freud, Otherness, and the Historical Hermeneutics of Modern Subject-Formation"; and (d) "Part Four: Novel: Route 40 Pure Oil Truck Stop". The dissertation's critical analyses utilize an interdisciplinary, contextual, historical, and yet, as we will see in "Part Two: Bridging Thesis", practical approach. And, although the portfolio covers Freud's narrative works in writing and psychoanalysis, his use of discourse analysis in the theoretical formulations of psychoanalysis, and the creative otherness the Freudian oeuvre that exists in the metaphorical language and symbolism of his writing, the success of the research project lies within the application and interaction of scholarly research on the one hand and the creative discourse that is developed on the other. Still, due to its overarching and holistic methodology, the dissertation connects research and scholarship with creativity and writing theory, which juxtaposes my creativity as a novelist with my academic abilities as a researcher. The following five-part format outlines the subsequent sections of the dissertation's research design in the "Overview": (a) "Introduction: Freud and the Creative Moment"; (b) "The History and Scope of the Research: Neurology, Writing and Psychoanalysis, and Cultural Criticism"; (c) "The Importance of the Research: Narrative Theory to a Hypertext to a Metapsychology"; (d) "The Originality of the Research Project: Aesthetics, Creativity, and Otherness in the Subject-Formations of Writing and Psychoanalysis"; and (e) "Research Methodology: The Qualitative Approach to Grounded Theory in Psychoanalysis". As a theoretical study of Freudian psychoanalysis, the hermeneutical praxis for this dissertation was first developed from the readings, research and writing of "Part Three: Thesis: Psychoanalytic Theory and Creativity: Freud, Otherness, and the Historical Hermeneutics of Modern Subject-Formation". Overall, its exploration and analyses of Freud, psychoanalysis, and the use of aesthetics in his theoretical formations cover a wide spectrum of creative desire, otherness, and the hermeneutics of writing and psychoanalysis, hi the dissertation's development, the research begins with a five-part thesis (Part Three) that covers writing and psychoanalysis's early historical development from neurology and physiology to aesthetics and the art form, creativity and the artist, and subsequently the discourse analysis of Freud's subject formations over his 40-year career as a psychoanalytic theorist. From a historical and discursive approach to qualitative research, I formulated the overarching and holistic scope of my thesis into a hypothesis that would analyse the following: (a) Freud's early neurological writings that form the theoretical foundation for his hermeneutics for creativity and aesthetics; (b) his specific writings on creativity and the artist; (c) the implicit writings about creativity, as it relates to religion and the new creation account of psychoanalysis; (d) an account of the place of writing within his discussion of religion, culture and civilization, which forms a critical juncture between early Freudian writings and later Freudian attempts to use psychoanalysis as cultural commentary; and finally, (e) a conclusion, which brings the thesis together, that will suggest that writing poses a particular problem for Freud because of his unresolved frustrations about creativity and critical discourse Freud's own "return of the repressed". These interrelated topics form sub-sets of the major dissertation thesis by informing and guiding my examination and analysis while chronicling the historical significance of Freud's autobiographical, creative oeuvre, and an academic life that accounted for his development as a researcher, life writer of psychoanalysis, and modern theorist of the mind. As a final analysis of his discourse, the thesis will analyse Freud's problems with his approach to aesthetics, creativity and the artist, especially concerning his problems with writer's block. Thus using a chronological and evolutionary approach to historiography that traces fifty years of Freud's lifetime writings between 1889 and 1939, the intent of this multi-faceted study is to examine writing and psychoanalysis as it developed from neurology and physiology into narrative and literary subject-formations of aesthetics, discourse analysis, and cultural criticism.

Abstract:

American adolescents are no more sexually active than adolescents in other Western nations. Each year more than one million American teenagers become pregnant, which gives the United States the dubious distinction of leading the industrialized world in the highest rates of teenage pregnancy. With the number of adolescent pregnancies increasing yearly, the cost of healthcare has become a major concern for healthcare providers. Because the teen's viewpoint is different from that of an adult, this research study focused upon the issue of teen pregnancy through the eyes of the pregnant adolescent.Heideggerian phenomenology was used as the research methodology to acquire information regarding the lived experience of pregnancy for the single adolescent, with Heideggerdian hermeneutics used in the interpretation of interviews. A purposive sample of five single primipara adolescents living in a teen home, in a large metropolitan area of a Midwestern state was utilized. Each interview was given a number in order to protect the confidentially of the participant. Interviews were audio taped and were transcribed by the researcher. The audio tapes were destroyed at the end of the study. The data obtained were studied by the researcher and others familiar with Heideggerian hermeneutics. The data were analyzed according to the seven step method described by Diekelmann, Allen and Tanner (1989). The findings identified an overall constitutive pattern along with four common themes.The overall constitutive pattern which emerged was "Pregnancy as a diverse human experience." Along with the constitutive pattern identified were four other common themes: (a) Body image changes as being within oneself; (b) Being marked as a pregnant teenager; (c) Pregnancy as loss; and (d) Pregnancy as connectedness. Both the constitutive pattern and the common themes were validated by the adolescent interviewed. The conclusions of this study showed that teens were aware of the methods of contraception and pregnancy but were unaware of the impact pregnancy would have on the teen's being in the world.

Full text

Abstract:

Catholic exegesis of scriptural and dogmatic statements has become rigid in the period following the Enlightenment. Gadamer’s account of philosophical hermeneutics, when applied to the Catholic situation, elaborates how Catholic exegesis might return to its premodern, freer form. Following Gadamer, I hold that to understand is to fuse the horizon of the old with today’s horizon using the preunderstandings that have been provided by the tradition while at the same time bringing the questions of today into dialogue with the text. Examples of how Romans 1 and 2 have been interpreted historically serve to support this thesis. Origen reads Romans 1 and 2 using the traditional understandings afforded him by the ancient Catholic tradition. At the same time, he seeks in the text answers to the questions raised by the heresies of his own day. The early Augustine reads in Romans an answer to the questions posed by the Manicheans. Later he places that same text into dialogue with the Pelagians and, though still using the preunderstandings provided by the tradition, finds new meaning. Aquinas robustly exemplifies this conception of exegesis. He places Romans into dialogue with Aristotle and comes away with a creative fusion of the two. After considering the examples above, I turn to two instances of hermeneutics that fail to be acceptable models of Catholic exegesis. Though the young Luther’s commentary on Romans is a Catholic fusion of traditionary preunderstandings and late medieval thinking, the older Luther ceases to dialogue with the tradition and thereby fails to give an acceptable Catholic interpretation. Barth, on the other hand, provides a paradigmatic example of Gadamerian hermeneutic principles. His exegesis is insufficient not because of his method but because of the Sache, the subject matter, he wrongly reads into the text of Romans. This historical consideration of Catholic philosophical hermeneutics reinforces my proposition that Gadamerian philosophical hermeneutics adequately accounts for the Catholic hermeneutic tradition and provides a manner of approaching how that hermeneutic tradition might be appropriated today. Hermeneutics must not be a mere repetition of scriptural and dogmatic utterances but a placing of dogmatic statements into conversation with the situation today. This productive fusion can provide new, surprising meanings that cannot be predicted simply by reference to how statements have been understood in the past.

This work is located in the textual production area and approaches the revealing of implicit meanings in the poetical language of Guimarães Rosa in a short story of Tutaméia (Terceiras Estórias), with the title João Porém, o criador de perus (João Porém, the Turkey Breeder). From a reference system guided by the author, the clues and misleads of the Aletria e hermenêutica foreword, we seek to unveil the secrets of the ingenious enunciation of Guimarães Rosa, which is characterized by the poetical language with which the author creates and recreates lexical units for the linguistic representation of the text. This study is theoretically based on the principles of Critical Discourse Analysis with a social and cognitive branch, of Textual Linguistics, and on studies carried out in relation to the poetical language. Following Jauss (1989), we performed a heuristic, which is linear. Then, we performed the hermeneutic reading, which is non-linear, complemented by inter-texts of a variety of knowledge areas. The findings demonstrate that in the selected short story, the story of João Porém, a back-country dweller that prospers and that brings prosperity to his home county, creates love and remains loyal to a maiden made up by his fellow countrymen, may be defined as belonging to an abstraction. Its purpose is not restricted to entertainment, but to provide learning to readers on the poetical language, which literarily represents the oral mineira variety, on transcendence, with references to platonic reminiscences and in disguise, alluding to the golden years of Brazilian culture
Este trabalho está situado na área de produção textual e tem por tema o desvelamento de sentidos implícitos da linguagem poética de Guimarães Rosa em um conto de Tutaméia (Terceiras Estórias), intitulado João Porém, o criador de perus . Partindo de um sistema de referência orientado pelo próprio autor, as pistas e os despistes do prefácio Aletria e hermenêutica , buscamos o desvelar dos segredos da enunciação engenhosa de Guimarães Rosa, caracterizada pela linguagem poética com a qual o autor cria e recria unidades lexicais para a representação lingüística do texto produto. Esta pesquisa está fundamentada teoricamente em princípios da Análise Crítica do Discurso com vertente sóciocognitiva, da Linguística Textual e em estudos realizados a respeito da linguagem poética. Seguindo Jauss (1989), efetuamos a leitura heurística que é linear. A seguir, foi realizada a leitura hermenêutica, que é alinear, complementada por intertextos de diversas áreas do saber. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que, no conto selecionado, a estória de João Porém, um sertanejo que prospera e faz próspera sua província natal, que cria amor e permanece fiel a uma donzela inventada por seus conterrâneos, pode ser definida como de abstração , cuja finalidade não se restringe ao entretenimento, mas ao aprendizado de seus leitores, acerca de sua linguagem poética, fundamentada na variedade oral mineira, acerca da transcendência, com referência a reminiscência platônica e, disfarçadamente, aludindo aos anos dourados da cultura brasileira
