Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of the current study was to investigate factors that help single-parent families cope with the news that a family member has been diagnosed with HIV. The theoretical model that underpinned the study is the Resiliency Model of Family Stress, Adjustment and Adaptation of McCubbin and McCubbin (1996). A salutogenic perspective offers a view of human suffering that moves away from pathology to focus on factors that support successful coping, hence the focus of the current study on resilience. A cross-sectional survey research design was used, incorporating a combination method inclusive of both a qualitative and quantitative component. A total of 109 families, represented by an adult and a child, answered a qualitative question about what they considered to have helped them cope, and completing a biographical questionnaire and five questionnaires based on the theoretical model. Analyses included the Grounded Theory Method, a qualitative analysis method of Strauss and Corbin (1994; 1998), Pearson correlations and ANOVAs (for a categorical independent variable – employment status) to compute the significance of correlations between a dependent variable and a number of independent variables, and regression analysis. The results of the qualitative investigation revealed that families considered internal strength (or hardiness), social supports, communication, a sense of hope, using denial (both positive and negative behaviours to get on with life despite the presence of hardship), changing or reframing thoughts about the stressor, and material support to have been helpful. The quantitative results supported the qualitative results and showed that family hardiness (working together, viewing stressors as challenges and having a belief in own coping abilities), the availability of social support, supportive communication, use of reframing, accepting help from others and spiritual support all contributed to families functioning well under adverse conditions. It was also shown that inflaming types of communication, such as fighting and doing nothing about a crisis situation, negatively influenced the family functioning. It was interesting to note that family size had a significant, positive correlation with the parents’ views of family functioning, and that the higher the children’s level of education, the lower they rated their family functioning to be. Recommendations for further studies include a focus on resilience in various family types, a focus on families successfully coping with HIV diagnoses in their families, and the development of intervention programmes, inclusive of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van die huidige studie was om ondersoek in te stel na faktore wat enkelouer gesinne met ‘n MIV-gediagnoseerde gesinslid ondersteun het. Die studie is teoreties gebou op McCubbin en McCubbin (1996) se Resiliency Model of Family Stress, Adjustment and Adaptation. Salutogenese bied ‘n siening of waardering van die manier waarop mense terugslae hanteer wat weg beweeg van die tradisionele fokus op patologie om te fokus op faktore wat suksesvolle aanpassing ondersteun ten spyte van die teenwoordigheid van genoemde krisis. Hierdie benadering bepaal dus die fokus op veerkragtigheid of gesinsveerkragtigheid wat hierdie studie rig. ’n Deursnee- steekproefontwerp is vir die navorsing gebruik en het ‘n kwalitatiewe en kwantitatiewe komponent ingesluit. ‘n Totaal van 109 gesinne is bestudeer, elk deur een volwassene en een kind verteenwoordig. Die deelnemers het ‘n kwalitatiewe vraag beantwoord oor wat hulle as ondersteunend ten opsigte van hulle eie krisishantering beskou het, en het ook ‘n biografiese vraelys en vyf vraelyste wat verskillende aspekte van die teoretiese model gemeet het, voltooi. Die deelnemers se response is ontleed deur middel van Strauss en Corbin (1994; 1998) se Grounded Theory Method vir die kwalitatiewe komponent; Pearson se korrelasies en ANOVA’s (ten opsigte van ‘n katogoriese onafhanklike veranderlike – werkstatus) is gebruik om die korrelasies tussen die afhanklike en ‘n aantal onafhanklike veranderlikes te bereken en regressie-ontledings is gedoen. Die kwalitatiewe resultate het aangedui dat die volgende faktore deur die gesinne beskou is as ondersteunend van hulle vermoë om krisisse te hanteer: innerlike sterkte, sosiale ondersteuning, kommunikasie, ‘n gevoel van hoop, die gebruik van ontkenning (beide positiewe en negatiewe gedrag om met die lewe aan te gaan ten spyte van die swaarkry), verandering van of herbesinning oor die stressor, en materiële ondersteuning. Die kwantitatiewe bevindinge het die kwalitatiewe resultate ondersteun en getoon dat gesinsgehardheid (saamwerk, beskouing van stressors as uitdagings en ‘n vertroue in eie vermoëns), die beskikbaarheid van sosiale ondersteuning, ondersteunende kommunikasie, die gebruik van herbesinning, aanvaarding van hulp van ander en geestelike ondersteuning almal gehelp het om die gesin onder ongunstige toestande goed te laat funksioneer. Daar is ook gevind dat opruiende soorte kommunikasie, soos baklei en niks oor ‘n krisissituasie te doen nie, ‘n negatiewe invloed op gesinsfunksionering gehad het. Dit was interessant om te vind dat gesinsgrootte positief met die ouers se beskouing van gesinsfunksionering gekorreleer het, terwyl ‘n hoër vlak van opvoeding onder die kinders gekorreleer het met ‘n laer skatting van gesinsfunksionering. Aanbevelings vir verdere navorsing sluit in ‘n fokus op gesinsveerkragtigheid in verskillende gesinstipes, ‘n fokus op gesinne wat ‘n MIV-diagnose in die gesin suksesvol hanteer, en die ontwikkeling van ingrypingsprogramme gebaseer op die beginsels van Kognitiewe Gedragsterapie en Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Este estudo teve o objetivo de compreender como a assistência à saúde é preconizada, no âmbito do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), para as pessoas com deficiência de diversas naturezas, tendo como orientação o conceito de equidade (um dos princípios do SUS). O estudo foi baseado em documentos oficiais, concentrando-se nas formulações e implicações que poderiam identificar como construir, para as unidades de saúde pública, a noção de igualdade/equidade na atenção às pessoas com deficiência. Como metodologia, utilizou-se os aspectos descritivo-analíticos relacionados com marcos legais e também uma análise de documentos que lidam com o problema levantado. Foram encontradas algumas barreiras para contextualizar o conceito de equidade dentro de um conjunto de limitações inerentes ao modelo brasileiro de saúde pública, assim como foi observada a continuidade do estigma social que é dirigido a este grupo de pessoas, além de uma aparente manutenção das representações sociais dessa população. Essas limitações têm promovido - do ponto de vista da equidade na saúde - um certo nível de frustração, especialmente no atendimento de pessoas com deficiência para as quais são oferecidos cuidados de saúde de qualidade duvidosa.
This study aimed to understand how the health assistance is preconized, in the Unified Health System (SUS), to people with disabilities of various natures, having as a orientation the concept equity (one of SUS principles). The study was based on official documents, focusing in the formulations and implications that could identify how to construct, for public health units, the notion of equality / equity in care for people with disabilities. As a methodology, we used descriptive-analytical aspects related to legal milestones and also an analysis of documents dealing with the problem raised. Were found some barriers to contextualizing the equity concept within a set of limitations inherent the Brazilian public health model, as well as was observed the continuity of the social stigma that is directed at this group of people, besides an apparent maintenance of social representations of this population. These limitations have promoted – from the perspectives of health equity - some level of frustration, especially in care for people with disabilities, for which are offered health care of dubious quality.

Full textBackground: Pain may involve physical, emotional and psychological reactions. Chronic pain can lead to restrictions and problems in everyday life. One of the most common pain states is low back pain. A form of treatment that has been marketed as a charitable and pain reliefing alternative is the Shakti mat. Currently there are no studies on its effects published. Purpose: To see whether treatment with Shakti mat in a person with low back pain has an effect on the experience of the ability in activities of daily life and to see if the psychological factors will change. Method: The participant had to lie on a Shakti mat once a day for four weeks. The participant was asked to complete five questionnaires two weeks before, during intervention and two weeks after treatment. The Tampa Scale: a Measure of Kinesiophobia measures to what degree the participant experiencing pain for movement or to harm itself in motion, Coping Strategies Questionnaire - Catastrophizing scale investigating catastrophizing thoughts in connection with pain perception, Pain Disability Index investigates how the participants’ everyday affected/hampered by pain, Self-Efficacy Scale investigates how sure the participant is in his ability to carry out a task despite pain and a Self-monitoring diary where the perception of its ability in everyday activities, experience after treatment, the type of underlay and if the participant could lie longer on the Shakti mat were judged. Results: The participant’s pain in some everyday activities mitigated while the degree of ability in these increased after four weeks of treatment. The psychological factors had not changed much.

Full textThe purpose is to gain an understanding of the marketing knowledge and tools single person businesses have and use within the service sector in southern Sweden.
Previous research on single person businesses in Sweden and their marketing knowledge and usage of marketing tools is very scarce. Many small firms suffer from resource poverty and this is often a reason for why they market their firms in certain ways. By asking single person business owners why, how and what they do to market their firms the authors will find a general pattern and a deeper understanding. During a pre-study conducted to capture the essence of the issue before starting the research, it was found that there existed several marketing knowledge gaps. It is therefore of interest to study the marketing knowledge among single person business owners in Sweden.
To meet the purpose a qualitative research approach was chosen. The qualitative data was collected through six in-depth interviews with single person business owners. The answers from the interviews generated a picture of the usage of marketing knowledge and tools among single person business owners in Sweden.
The result of this study showed that all of the single person business owners thought that since their firms were small businesses, well developed marketing strategies was more of a luxury than a necessity. It was clear that they instead used effectual reasoning when marketing their firms. Concerning knowledge, the results showed that a mixture of education and work experience is the optimal combination. It was also clear that service firms usually find difficulties with intangibility and all of the interviewees knew that they have to use a special approach when marketing services. Through the authors’ findings, it is hard to tell if there is an optimal marketing strategy since most of the interviewees do not perform any follow-ups and therefore do not know what works and what does not.

Full textA significant proportion of persons diagnosed with bipolar disorder experience subclinical, residual symptoms between major episodes. Residual symptoms are associated with poor quality of life and increased risk of relapse. The current study aims at investigating whether a time limited, internet-based treatment targeting disturbed sleep and emotion regulation is feasible and successful in reducing residual depressive symptoms. Pertaining to this purpose, a single-subject design with repeated measures was used (n=4). Results show that the treatment is feasible and, for some individuals, can lead to a decrease in depressive symptoms. Future studies regarding this treatment are warranted.

Full textIntroduction: In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), dyspnoea is the predominant symptom that affects walking distance. In other patient categories, walking distance has been increased and dyspnoea has been reduced after inspiratory muscle training (IMT). Only two studies on IMT for people with IPF have been found and none of these studies have IMT as the sole study intervention. Purpose: The purpose was to investigate whether IMT increases respiratory muscle strength (MIP), if walking distance and dyspnoea alter after practice, and if there is a relation between MIP and walking distance, MIP and dyspnoea and walking distance and dyspnoea. Method: Single-subject experimental design was used. Six people with IPF participated. IMT was carried out in eight weeks. During baseline, intervention and about six weeks after the intervention, MIP was measured with Micro RPM® and walking distance with a six-minute walk test. Dyspnoea was estimated with Borg CR 10-scale and the University of California, San Diego Shortness of Breath Questionnaire (UCSD SOBQ). Results: The results varied among the study participants. For four participants, the MIP increased. Five study participants had a clinically relevant increase in walking distance. Four participants had a clinically relevant reduction in dyspnoea on measuring with Borg CR 10 at rest or UCSD SOBQ. The correlation between MIP and walking distance was significant for two study participants with rs 0.88 and 0.99, respectively. Conclusion: IMT can increase MIP and provide clinically relevant improvements in walking distance and dyspnoea. All study participants do not benefit from exercise. Further studies are needed to determine which ones have the advantage of IMT and the amount of exercise needed to achieve improvement.

Full textAbstract
Elderly people are going to be a growing number in Europe. Between one third are going to be 60 years or older at 2025. For Sweden the situation is going to be similar. A reduced muscle function could lead to complications for the individual to perform daily tasks and will lead to a higher rate for falling and getting bone fractures. The positive sides are that for men and women there are a possibility for maintaining physical function and strength even in older years. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of gaining strength in M. Quadriceps femoris among five elderly people. The training schedule followed over 6 weeks of time with training sessions twice a week, training the Quadriceps muscle with one set of each training session. The result shows that for the three people that completed the study, all of them managed to gain strength. Further the study examines resistance training comparing single and multiple sets. Is there any difference in gaining strength between training programs with single set training versus multiple sets training?

Full textAbstractSleep disorders are a common health problem in the population. Cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) have proved to be an effective treatment for people with insomnia, but less research has been conducted on the efficacy of CBT-I in a group of people with insomnia (CBT-I) and comorbid depressive symptoms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of CBT-I in group with respect to insomnia, depressive symptoms, and transdiagnostic processes. A single-subject design was used with daily estimates and pre- between-and posttest measures. The study concluded that the degree of insomnia symtoms decreased for all participants and the degree of depressive symptoms decreased for the majority. A correlation was found between sleep-related worry, selective attention, and insomnia. It remains for future research to investigate transdiagnostic processes associated with insomnia and depressive symptoms further.

Full textProblem In a single-person business the business man himself often must have a great deal of knowledge, because he/she is the one who must take all the final decisions. According to Tomas Lindberg there has been a failing sale of the product Wind-X Medium. Could it be that there is an indirect link between Tomas Lindbergs lack of knowledge and failing sales figures of Wind-X Medium? What can the consequence be for business enterprise and growth if there is a difference between being a businessman, entrepreneur or an innovator? Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the problems a single-person business can have to create more interest and acceptance around his/her products. Vision With a vision to be able to come up with one or more proposals on how Tomas Lindberg can move on with his business. Method The authors in this study used a qualitative approach, by interviewing the owner of the company. The authors have by doing different tests, presented information to the study’s empirical work. The authors analyzed and discussed the study’s theoretical framework, and then come up with a various proposals on how the owner could do to move forward with his business. Conclusions The authors have identified some knowledge gaps with Tomas Lindberg that may affect in different ways. The study has revealed that the owner of the company X-Innovations AB has some knowledge of marketing, which has allowed that the sale of its product are not going as well as the owner hoped.

Full textMy paper examines the specific phases and turning points of the life course, which can influence the decision of young people to choose singleness as a way of life or become single by virtue of structural conditions. The research focuses on a group of young, urban singles from Berlin and Budapest. Singles are understood as those young adults at an age (30-40) typically devoted to family, living alone in their own household and having neither a durable partnership nor children. The population I studied is that of urban singles in their thirties from the upper social strata, having (at least) a university degree and being active in the labor market. The methodology used for this empirical research was conducting life course interviews, and based on this, working with the discourse analysis as a tool for analyzing narration. Experiencing a turning point is often perceived as an individual issue. However, there are some common features and types to be identified. I am not employing an individual perspective, but rather constructing typologies and inquiring about the common aspects of some important life occurrences, which to some extent explain the decision for singleness. Being single when one’s age cohort is building a family is not seen as a landmark or milestone, even less an achievement. Rather, in spite of its demographic growth, singleness is best understood as a hiatus or a period between turning points. Such turning points are: events in the family life in childhood, primarily divorce of the parents; degree of detachment from the parents; labour market entry and work arrangements; the experience of past partnerhip(s). Some of these occurrences are relevant for the way young people interpret personal autonomy and independence. Other factors, especially labor market uncertainties represent a structural reason eventually accounting for the status of single.

Full textThree native Thai speakers with Swedish as their second language have received special training in Swedish pronunciation in the current single-subject design study. The aim of the current study was therefore to devise and implement a set of pronunciation training exercises, divided into suprasegmental and segmental modules. The aim was also to examine how suprasegmental and segmental changes in pronunciation affected the intelligibility of the pronunciation. The pronunciation training consisted of 14 training sessions during a five-week period. The exercises were divided into two modules, one with focus on suprasegmental aspects (B1) and one with focus on segmental aspects (B2). The suprasegmental module included acquainting subjects with the syllabic structure of the Swedish language as well as training of the Swedish language stress pattern. The segmental module contained training of consonant clusters, the Swedish speech sound [ɧ] and /r/. At the end of each session the participants were asked to repeat 50 words chosen before the start of the study. These words constituted the measuring points of the study and were analyzed according to the participants' ability to produce suprasegmental and segmental aspects correctly. The suprasegmental aspects were assessed according to fixed criteria and the segmental aspects were rated by means of Percentage Phonemes Correct (PPC). After completion of the final training session, three independent listeners estimated intelligibility to determine if relationship existed between these and the chosen assessment tools. Single words were selected in order to compare their criteria-based and PPC-ratings with acoustic correlates. The results of the present study indicate that a relationship can be observed between specific pronunciation training with focus on segmental aspects and improved pronunciation in terms of segmental and suprasegmental aspects. The pronunciation training with suprasegmental focus indicated the same conclusion. Further, a relationship can be seen between the judgment of the segmental aspects based on the measuring points' PPC-rating and the ratings of intelligibility. The intelligibility improved when the PPC increased. The focus of pronunciation training should be to achieve good intelligibility (Pennington, 1996; Levis, 2005); therefore it is suggested that segmental aspects should be included in pronunciation training for native Thai speakers when learning Swedish as a second language. No similar relations have been discovered between the suprasegmental aspects and intelligibility, which, however, may be due to limitations in the design of the study. Therefore suprasegmental aspects should not be neglected in pronunciation training.

Full textO RADAR é para fins militares já relativamente antigo que sofreu um grande impulso durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Hoje em dia existe um forte desenvolvimento no RADAR em aplicações de navegação ou vigilância/segurança. Esta dissertação surge no seguimento destas novas aplicações, em que se pretende o desenvolvimento de um RADAR de baixo custo que permita ao utilizador detetar pessoas, bem como, os seus movimentos através de paredes ou objetos opacos. O desenvolvimento deste RADAR recaiu em tecnologias emergentes como antenas adaptativas e rádio definido por software que permitem uma grande versatilidade e adaptação em termos de aplicações. A utilização de um RADAR com múltiplas entradas e múltiplas saídas fornece uma maior diversidade de informação que garante mais probabilidades de deteção. A aplicação de técnicas digitais de beamforming, possibilita conhecer a posição e o movimento da pessoa. Com a implementação destas técnicas um protótipo capaz de detetar pessoas e os seus movimentos através de paredes e tijolos foi desenvolvido com sucesso solucionando o problema inicial. Na fase de projeto de RADAR houve necessidade de caracterizar a propagação de ondas de rádio em materiais de construção, como tijolos e madeira, medindo-se a sua atenuação. Deste modo foi possível fazer o balanço de potencia para varios canarios.
The RADAR is already relatively old for military purposes that underwent a major development during World War II. Nowadays there is a strong development in RADAR in navigation or surveillance/security applications. This dissertation follows on from these new applications, which aim to develop a low cost RADAR that allows the user to detect people as well as their movements through walls or opaque objects. The development of this RADAR has relied on emerging technologies such as adaptive antennas and SDR that allow for great versatility and adaptation in terms of applications. The use of a MIMO RADAR provides a greater diversity of information that guarantees more probabilities of detection and the application of digital techniques of beamforming, allows to know the position and the movement of the person. With the implementation of these techniques a prototype capable of detecting people and their movements through walls and bricks was successfully developed solving the initial problem. In the RADAR design phase it was necessary to characterize the propagation of radio waves in building materials, such as bricks and wood, by measuring their attenuation. In this way it was possible to perform the power balance for several scenarios.

Full text3D human pose estimation from RGB monocular images is the processus allowing to locate human joints from an image or of a sequence of images. It provides rich geometric and motion information about the human body. Most existing 3D pose estimation approaches assume that the image contains only one person, fully visible. Such a scenario is not realistic. In real life conditions several people interact. They then tend to hide each other, which makes 3D pose estimation even more ambiguous and complex. The work carried out during this thesis focused on single-shot estimation. of multi-person 3D poses from RGB monocular images. We first proposed a bottom-up approach for predicting multi-person 3D poses that first predicts the 3D coordinates of all the joints present in the image and then uses a grouping process to predict full 3D skeletons. In order to be robust in cases where the people in the image are numerous and far away from the camera, we developed PandaNet, which is based on an anchor representation and integrates a process that allows ignoring anchors ambiguously associated to ground truthes and an automatic weighting of losses. Finally, PandaNet is completed with an Absolute Distance Estimation Module (ADEM). The combination of these two models, called Absolute PandaNet, allows the prediction of absolute human 3D poses expressed in the camera frame

Full textAim The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of one steroid injection to ligaments in the pelvis on patients with chronic low back pain. Method Six patients with chronic low back pain were studied in a single-subject experimental design. Outcome measures were self-rated pain (Numerical Rating Scale, NRS), self-rated pain related functional limitations (Oswestry Disability index, ODI), self-rated kinesiophobia (Tampa scale of kinesiophobia, TSK-SV) and flexibility (Fingertip-to-floor). Function was measured through a dynamic balance test (SEBT), a functional test (sit-to-stand) and an endurance test (modified Biering- Sørensen). The daily physical activity was measured through movement registration with an accelerometer. The subjects were tested five times before and five to six times after the intervention. At the last visit they rated the overall change on a Global index of change. The results were analysed at an individual level by visual analyses of differences in trends and levels in graphs, statistical analysis via the 2 SD- method, together with the subjects’ description of possible change. The registration from the accelerometers was processed and analysed by a standard procedure at the GIH administration. Result Four out of six subjects rated themselves as "slightly improved" on the scale Global index of change and especially three of them showed better results on the functional tests, and rated slightly lower on the ODI and TSK-SV. No clear changes were shown for the self-rated pain and flexibility. Two subjects rated "no change" from the intervention, and in some of the tests they showed inferior results after the intervention. Conclusion It’s impossible to draw strong conclusions from this study, since the results are not conclusive and the study design does not allow generalization. Anyhow, the results indicate that a steroid injection may have a positive effect on global improvement and muscle function for some patients with chronic low back pain. One possible factor that could diminish the effect of the injection is a more generalized pain experience. Future studies are needed to confirm the present findings.
