Full textExcessive college student drinking is a complex problem associated with a range of consequences including deaths, injuries, damage, health risks, legal difficulties, and academic problems. State governing boards, trustees and executives have enacted policies aimed at reducing the negative effects of excessive drinking. This study examined influences on university staff members responsible for implementation of alcohol-control policies. Deeper understanding of factors influencing alcohol-control policy implementation may help leaders improve policy making, implementation and attainment of policy objectives.
This mixed methods study utilized a sequential transformative mixed methods strategy with a quantitative survey, sequenced first, informing the prioritized qualitative multiple case study. Research was conducted at two public universities selected from a single state. In the quantitative phase students (n=1,252) completed a survey measuring student support for 33 alcohol-control measures. Staff (n=27) responsible for policy implementation completed a survey estimating student support for alcohol-control measures. Survey data informed development of the case study interview protocol. In the qualitative phase ten interviews were conducted at each case study site.
The study’s theoretical and conceptual model was based upon Pressman and Wildavsky’s (1973) implementation framework and Kotter’s (1996) eight-stage process for leading change. Findings from the quantitative phase of the study revealed strong levels of support for alcohol-control policies at both campuses while staff members generally underestimated student support for alcohol-control policies. The key findings that emerged after coding case study data included the influences of: (a) executive leadership; (b) leadership transitions and policy saliency; (c) cognition and sensemaking; and, (d) anchoring changes in culture. Student support for alcohol-control policies was found to have no direct influence on staff members responsible for implementation of alcohol control policies.

Full textDans les services de revalidation, les rencontres thérapeutes-patients présentent une valeur significative par le temps consacré, l'approche thérapeutique mais également la relation qui découle du processus de soin.
L'objectif de la recherche fut d'évaluer la satisfaction du personnel travaillant dans les services de revalidation physique (thérapeutes et techniciens ou assistants) et les différents variables démographiques ou liés à l'environnement du travail ainsi que la satisfaction des patients traités dans ces services.
Une analyse transversale par questionnaire a permis de mesurer la satisfaction au travail et les éléments de productivité dans les services de revalidation. Simultanément, une enquête concernant la satisfaction des patients a été réalisée dans ces mêmes départements. La recherche fut effectuée au sein de dix centres hospitaliers au moyen d'un questionnaire d'enquête commun basé sur le modèle " Effort- Reward Imbalance" ou “déséquilibre efforts-récompenses” et des informations complémentaires sur les conditions de travail ont étés collectées au moyen de questionnaires spécifiques. L’étude met en évidence des variables démographiques tells l'âge, la nationalité, le niveau d'éducation, ainsi que la charge travail et les types de cas traités comme facteurs significatifs influençant le stress au travail.
Les résultats confirment une corrélation positive entre le stress au travail par le déséquilibre Efforts-Récompenses et la performance quantitative (productivité) des thérapeutes en revalidation. Il est basé sur la satisfaction des thérapeutes en fonction des heures de travail, du nombre moyen de patients par jours ainsi que des mesures de productivité élevées du département. En ce qui concerne les récompenses perçues comme positives, le soutien du médecin et du superviseur apparaissent comme facteurs de motivation importants. Il a été également déterminé que les thérapeutes appréciaient la participation et l’expression de son opinion dans la gestion thérapeutique du patient. Bien qu’une corrélation entre la satisfaction des patients et le degré de stress au travail des thérapeutes n’ait pas été démontrée, ces deux mesures varient de manière significative en fonction des types d’hôpitaux et du degré de « Over-commitment » des thérapeutes dans leur travail.
Les déterminants essentiels de la satisfaction des patients en revalidation apparaissent toutefois liés à l’intervention du thérapeute tel que sa capacité à rassurer le patient ou la qualité de l’information liée au plan de traitement et doivent être considérés dans l’approche thérapeutique en revalidation.
Les résultats de l’étude ont permis de concevoir un modèle systémique de satisfaction et de stress au travail résumant les éléments liés de manière significative au déséquilibre des efforts et récompenses dans les services de revalidation physique et qui pourrait inspirer les directeurs ou gestionnaires hospitaliers a promouvoir une atmosphère de travail positive.
Patient and staff satisfaction are considered as important indicators to monitor quality in healthcare. In rehabilitation services the patient and therapist encounters are of significant value by the amount of time, the therapeutic approach but also the personal relations in the care process. The aim of the research was to evaluate the staff job satisfaction in physical rehabilitation services and the related variables as well as its correlations to patients’ satisfaction.
A cross sectional survey approach in the rehabilitation services has measured the job satisfaction and the related elements of productivity. Simultaneously a survey of the patients’ satisfaction was performed. As the research in the physical rehabilitation services was conducted in ten different health care facilities of the Jeddah region, a common assessment tool was utilized based on the Effort Reward Imbalance (ERI) model and complementary information were collected using specifically developed survey questionnaires. Socio-demographic variables such as age, nationality, work specialty, educational levels, as well as the caseload and workload appeared also as significantly influencing job satisfaction.
The findings confirmed a positive correlation between the Effort Reward Imbalance and the quantitative performance (productivity) of the rehabilitation staffs. It is supported by the level of job satisfaction of the therapists which is related to the number of patients per day, caseload, hours of work and high productivity measures. From the aspects of positive rewards, the role of the supervisor and doctors appear as important motivators. It was also found that therapists valued the fact of being given the opportunity to participate and discuss opinions in the patient management and quality improvement.
While no evidence confirmed a positive correlation between patients’ satisfaction about the rehabilitation treatments and the staff job satisfaction, both measured patients’ and staff satisfaction varied significantly according to the hospital type and the degree of Over-commitment.
Essential determinants of patients’ satisfaction appeared however related to the therapists' input, such as the ability to reassure or the quality of information given in the treatment plan and have to be taken into account when delivering the patients’ care.
All the results allowed the design of a systemic model of staff job satisfaction resuming the significant related elements of effort and reward in the rehabilitation services and could be utilized to inspire the hospital leaders, managers and executive directors to promote a healthy work life environment based on a valued human resources approach.

Full textThere is a gap in research regarding examination of the relationship between burnout in special education school support staff members and their perception of locus of control (LOC) in their work environment. The purpose of this concurrent nested mixed methods study is to determine if there is a relationship between burnout and locus of control in professional school support staff (PSSS) working with special education students, by analyzing survey responses of a sample consisting of 86 PSSS in the northeastern United States. This study elicits data for quantitative analysis with Maslach Burnout Inventory and Rotter’s Internal-External LOC Scale utilizing Pearson’s Correlation and multiple regression analyses. The survey contains a contextual qualitative portion consisting of 10 open-ended question sets for thematic analysis.
The findings showed that increased internal locus of control is associated with decreased burnout in the subscales of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Notably, findings showed that increased internal LOC is associated with greater burnout in the subscale of reduced personal accomplishment. Recommendations for future research were made to conduct additional quantitative and qualitative research studies that explore the lived experiences of PSSS in special education, as well as to explore the usefulness of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness as possible therapeutic approaches to counteract the effects of burnout.

Full textIn the stages that are in the construction projects, there is the control and monitoring stage, which is responsible for confirming that the project is within the time, cost and limited scope. Currently, the monitoring system consists of collecting the field information, writing it manually and later, on the computer. Those responsible for making the reports through this process, dedicate between 28% and 41% of their time daily for their elaboration. This traditional process is labored and ineffective because the information is dispersed in different documents, so data can be omitted, causing corrective actions not to be taken in time. Likewise, the construction sector has little use of technological resources and therefore, there are no automated processes which makes it easier to monitor construction projects in an efficient way. Due to this, the present investigation proposes the optimization of the control process through the use of a digital tool to reduce the time spent on advance control. With the implementation of this proposal, the hours spent by staff in control work were reduced by 37%.

Full textBackground: The use of temporary staff has increased as a result of an increased demand for flexibility and is now increasingly included in the personnel force. Despite that, the temporary staff are rarely included in the control designed for the ordinary staff. Control is used to influence staff behavior so that they become goal-congruent. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate if the temporary staff lack a goal congruent behavior and thus have a negative impact on the company's goal congruence. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate whether and why behaviors differ between temporary and ordinary staff, at a chosen company. The research creates a deeper understanding about how the inclusion/ exclusion in different control mechanisms influence the temporary staff to contribute to the target congruence Method: The study applies a qualitative research strategy with an inductive approach. The research design that has been applied is a case study at a chosen company. The empirical study has been collected through qualitative interviews with both temporary and ordinary staff and their closest manager. The material has then been analyzed and interpreted to answer the research questions. Conclusion: The study found that the temporary staff have a less goal-congruent behavior than the ordinary staff. The difference is mainly due to the temporary’s exclusion from the company's formal control methods. For the most part, the temporary staff is included in informal control methods, which explains why the they to some extent still have a goal-congruent behavior.

Full textThe objective of this study was to verify the perception of physicians, nurses and auxiliaries or technicians regarding to nosocomial infections and their prevention and control practices. A semi-structured interview was made with eight professionals of each category who work in hospitals in the city of Sao Paulo, with the commission of infection control according to the legal norms. The initial reason of this study was the noncompliance by the healthcare professionals to the main recommendations of CCIH (Center of Nosocomial Infection Control), besides its inefficiency to change their behaviors regarding to those attitudes. It was observed that healthcare professionals acquired in their practice knowledge on nosocomial infection and its prevention, but they have difficulty to incorporate those attitudes in the patient care. They tend to lay the occurrence on the casualty, the inadequate work conditions or look for someone to blame on. There is a rigid hierarchic division of work in the hospitals. The physicians perform the command of therapeutic and diagnostic actions, and they attribute nosocomial infections to the chances, associated to the severity of the patient. The nurses manage the care delivered to the patients. They attribute nosocomial infections to invasive procedures and failures of attention delivered to the patients. The auxiliaries deliver directly the assistance care and relate the infection cases to someone to blame, looking for identifying the professional or the action that led to contamination. Regarding to attitudes toward prevention and control of nosocomial infections, the healthcare professionals recognize that CCIH may be a source of scientific and epidemiological information, which helps them on the professional practice, although the roles are not clearly circumscribed and this generates conflicts or omissions. The physicians emphasize the consultancy to prescribe antibiotics. The nurses stress the scientific basis that is given to their doubts and standardizations. The auxiliaries report the classes given. The main problems mentioned are the deficiency of academic background related to the topic, the difficulty to work with a team, emergency situations, inefficient working board and patient overcrowding. CCIH is perceived as an institution of directory body assessment and it doesnt show the same rigor to propose corrective attitudes to enclose the directory body, as it does with auxiliaries and technicians, mainly in situations of higher infection incidence. CCIH is also seen as an inspection and punishment institution. Although professionals dont have specific academic background in infection control, they acquire it in their practice

Full textIntroduction: Infections are common among preschool children. Some infectious agents, such as antibiotic-resistant bacteria have consequences for society and public health and pose a risk to the occupational health and safety of preschool staff.Aim: To investigate how well preschool principals comply with occupational health and safety legislation's requirements for preventive measures against risks of infections.Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was implemented. This study consisted of a web-based survey, sent via an e-mail link to 163 preschool principals in municipal and private preschools in three different regions of Sweden (Västra Götaland, Stockholm and Västmanland). Data were analyzed using the statistical program SPSS, version 27.Results: Of 163 email surveys sent, 65 responses (39.9%) were received. A difference (p < 0.001) between regions was demonstrated in terms of hygiene training of personnel. It was more common with hygiene training of personnel in municipal preschools (p=0.049) and daily cleaning was more common among municipal preschools (p=0.016). Staff who had worked for a longer time were better at informing substitutes about hygiene practices (p=0.005), preschools with more than 45 children had a higher frequency of daily cleaning(p=0.002) and preschools with 5 or more departments were better at hygiene training of personnel (p=0.043). All preschools used surface disinfectants to clean changing tables.Conclusion: There were differences in the level of hygiene training of personnel between regions and between municipal and private preschools. Daily cleaning among municipal preschools was more common. All preschools use surface disinfectants and disposable gloves when needed. Future surveys should include a larger sample size and focus on higher participation.

Full textSyftet med studien var att undersöka hemtjänstpersonalens upplevelser av krav, kontroll, stöd och stress och utröna hur dessa faktorer förändrats efter införandet av den nya arbetsmetoden Vanguard år 2014. Metoden i studien utgjordes av en kvalitativ ansats och datainsamlingen utfördes genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Fyra intervjuer genomfördes med personer som arbetar i hemtjänsten. Studiens deltagare rekryterades till följd av att en chef för en kommunal hemtjänstgrupp i Mellansverige kontaktades. Intervjuerna spelades in, transkriberades och analyserades genom en manifesttematisk innehållsanalys med ett fenomenologiskt inslag. Resultatet visade att faktorerna krav, kontroll, stöd och stress har förbättrats sedan införandet av den nya arbetsmetoden Vanguard. Resultatet visade att de arbetsrelaterade kraven har förändrats från att vara en negativ faktor som orsakade stress, till att istället vara något positivt som personalen utvecklas av som individer. Delaktighet och inflytande ökade på arbetsplatsen i och med att personalen själva började planera sitt arbetet, vilket bidrog till en ökad känsla av kontroll. Socialt stöd förbättrades när de under förändringsarbetet blev mindre grupper och på så vis lärde känna varandra bättre. Stress är inte längre som tidigarerelaterat till hög arbetsbelastning, utan uppkommer snarare om problem uppstår inom arbetsgruppen. Slutsatsen är att krav, kontroll, stöd och stress är viktiga faktorer i arbetslivet som antingen påverkar hälsan negativt eller positivt. Vanguard som arbetsmetod har bidragit med en positiv inverkan på den undersökta arbetsgruppen och förbättrat den upplevda hälsan hos arbetstagarna.

Full textThe purpose of the research presented in this thesis is to better understand and improve direct transcription methods for stiff and state constrained optimal control problems. When some implicit Runge-Kutta methods are implemented as approximations to the dynamics of an optimal control problem, a loss of accuracy occurs when the dynamics are stiff or constrained. A new grid refinement strategy which exploits the variation of accuracy is discussed. In addition, the use of a residual function in place of classical error estimation techniques is proven to work well for stiff systems. Computational experience reveals the improvement in efficiency and reliability when the new strategies are incorporated as part of a direct transcription algorithm. For index three differential-algebraic equations, the solutions of some implicit Runge-Kutta methods may not converge. However, computational experience reveals apparent convergence for the same methods used when index three state inequality constraints become active. It is shown that the solution chatters along the constraint boundary allowing for better approximations. Moreover, the consistency of the nonlinear programming problem formed by a direct transcription algorithm using an implicit Runge-Kutta approximation is proven for state constraints of arbitrary index.

Full textIn this thesis, the problem of controlling a surgical masterand slave system with force reflection is studied. The problemof stiff contacts between the slave and the environment isgiven specific attention. The work has been carried out at KTHbased on an initial cooperation with Karolinska Sjukhuset. Theaim of the over all project is to study the possibilities forintroduction of a force reflective teleoperator in neurologicalskullbase operations for the particular task of bone millingand thereby, hopefully, increase patient safety, decreasesurgeon workload and cost forthe society.
The main contributions of this thesis are:
Derivation of a dynamical model of the master andoperators finger system and, experimental identificationof ranges on model parameter values. Based on this model, theinteraction channel controllers optimized for transparency arederived and modified to avoid the influence of the uncertainmodel parameters. This results in a three channel structure. Todecrease the influence of the uncertain parameters locally atthe master, a control loop is designed such that the frequencyresponse of the reflected force is relatively unaffected by theuncertainties, a result also confirmed in a transparencyanalysis based on the H-matrix. The developed teleoperatorcontrol structure is tested in experiments where the operatorcould alter the contact force without facing any problems aslong as the slave is in contact with the environment.
As a result of the severe difficulties for the teleoperatorto move from free space motion to in-contact manipulationwithout oscillative behaviour, a new detection algorithm basedon passivity theory is developed. The algorithm is able todetect the non-passive behaviour of the actual teleoperatorinduced by the discrete change in system dynamics occurring atthe contact instant. A stabilization controller to be activatedby the detection algorithm is designed and implemented on themaster side of the teleoperator. The detection algorithm andthe stabilization controller are shown highly effective in realexperiments.
All major research results presented in the thesis have beenverified experimentally.

The dental biofilm is responsible for promoting infectious oral diseases, but it can control both mechanically and chemically. Phytotherapy comes up as an alternative, and the essential oil of lemon grass shows promising as an auxiliary method on chemical biofilm control. In this context, the aim of the study was to perform the chemical analysis of essential oil of Cymbopogon citratus, obtained in a company that is reference on essence and essential oil distribution, as well as to investigate the in vitro antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects of the oil, and its toxicity on human cells. For the chemical analysis, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used, and to identify the antimmicrobial effect, we determinate the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) on standard strains of Streptococcus mutans UA159 and Candida albicans ATCC90029,by the microdilution method on well technic. The obtained MIC served as a reference for the antibiofilm test. To determinate the antibiofilm activity, we developed a multispecies biofilm, with Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans, verifying the inhibitory actions of biofilm formation and the mature biofilm removal, with spectrophotometry evaluation, through a plate reader at a wavelength of 525 nm. To identify the hemolytic activity, we used blood samples from five healthy donors, subjecting the erythrocytes preparation tho the serial concentrations of the essential oil on test, with later spectrophotometry reading, at 560nm. The data was tabulated, statistically analyzed and presented as tables and charts. The main compound of the essential oil was the citral. It was evidenced the antimicrobial activity of the product at bacterial MIC of 1000 µg/mL and fungal MIC at 125µg/mL, as well as the inhibitory effect on biofilm formation on every evaluated concentrations (p<0,05). However, the essential oil was not able to remove mature biofilm. Observed that the essential oil showed protective effect over human erythrocytes on concentrations less than 500µg/mL. Based on the used methodology, checks that the Cymbopogon citratus essential oil has antibiofilm potential, not being toxic to the human erythrocyte membrane.
O biofilme dentário é responsável por promover doenças bucais de caráter infeccioso, podendo ser controlado mecânica e quimicamente. A fitoterapia surge como uma alternativa e o óleo essencial de capim-santo se mostra promissor como método auxiliar no controle químico do biofilme. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi realizar análise química do óleo essencial de Cymbopogon citratus, obtido em empresa de referência na distribuição de essências e óleos essenciais, bem como investigar os efeitos antimicrobiano e antibiofilme do óleo essencial de in vitro, além da toxicidade sobre células humanas. Para análise química, foi utilizada a cromatografia gasosa acoplada a espectrometria de massas e, para identificação do efeito antimicrobiano, foi determinada a Concentração Inibitória Mínima (CIM) sobre cepas padrão de Streptococcus mutans UA 159 e de Candida albicans ATCC 90029, pelo método da microdiluição na técnica de poços. A CIM encontrada serviu de referência para o teste antibiofilme. Para determinação da atividade antibiofilme, foi desenvolvido biofilme multiespécie com os microrganismos Streptococcus mutans e Candida albicans, verificando-se ações de inibição da formação de biofilme e remoção de biofilme maduro, com avaliação em espectrofotometria, por meio de um leitor de placas, em comprimento de onda de 525 nm. Para identificação da atividade hemolítica, foram utilizadas amostras sanguíneas de cinco doadores saudáveis, submetendo o preparado de eritrócitos às concentrações seriadas do óleo essencial em teste, com posterior leitura em espectrofotometria, a 560 nm. Os dados foram tabulados, analisados estatisticamente e apresentados na forma de tabelas e quadros. O principal composto do óleo essencial foi o citral. Foi evidenciada atividade antimicrobiana do produto, com CIM bacteriana de 1000 µg/mL e CIM fúngica de 125 µg/mL, bem como forte efeito inibidor da formação de biofilme em todas as concentrações avaliadas (p<0,05). Entretanto, o óleo essencial não foi capaz de remover biofilme maduro. Também foi observado que o fitoterápico apresentou efeito protetor sobre eritrócitos humanos em concentrações inferiores a 500µg/mL. Com base na metodologia adotada, verifica-se que o óleo essencial de Cymbopogon citratus possui potencial antibiofilme, não sendo tóxico à membrana de eritrócitos humanos.

O Pontal do Paranapanema, a segunda região mais pobre do Estado de São Paulo, tem histórico de devastação florestal recente: até 1942, toda a região possuía cobertura florestal nativa protegida por lei, a chamada “Grande Reserva do Pontal”, a qual foi transformada em grandes fazendas de pastagem por meio de desmatamentos ilegais e grilagem de terras, transformando a área num mosaico altamente fragmentado. No entanto, é no Pontal do Paranapanema que encontramos a maior área contínua de Floresta Estacional Semidecidual, contida no Parque Estadual Morro do Diabo. Este histórico torna claro que ações que promovam a restauração de áreas degradadas na região tem importância indiscutível na conservação e perpetuação do bioma Floresta Estacional e sua biodiversidade, que inclui espécies raras e ameaçadas de extinção, como o mico-leão preto (Leontophitecus chrysopygus). Diante do exposto esta pesquisa teve por objetivos: caracterizar florísticamente um plantio realizado para restauração de reserva legal e testar o uso de espécies nas entrelinhas deste plantio para controle das invasoras, hoje citadas como um dos maiores empecilhos aos projetos de restauração. Para tal, foram demarcadas 16 parcelas de 20 x 30 metros, representando quatro tratamentos em três repetições, com uma testemunha par cada tratamento. Os quatro tratamentos correspondem a espécies de leguminosas que foram testadas nas entrelinhas, sendo elas: Lab-lab (Dolichos lablab), Crotalária (Crotalaria spectabilis) Mucuna-Preta (Mucuna aterrina), e Java, leguminosa híbrida obtida do cruzamento e seleção de dois cultivares de Macrotyloma axillare.

The Pontal do Paranapanema, the second poorest region in the state of São Paulo, has a history of recent forest destruction: up to 1942, the entire region had native forest protected by law, the Grande Reserva do Pontal, which was transformed on grazing on large farms by illegal logging and land grabbing, transforming the region into a highly fragmented mosaic. However, it is in the Pontal that it is found the largest continuous area of seasonal semideciduous forest, contained in the Morro do Diabo State Park. This history makes clear that actions to promote the restoration of degraded areas in the region has a key importance in the preservation and perpetuation of seasonal forest biome and its biodiversity, including rare and endangered species such as the black lion tamarin (Leontophitecus chrysopygus). This study aimed to characterize floristically an area of restoration for a legal reserve and test the use of some species for weed control, today cited as one of the biggest impediments to restoration projects. For this purpose, 16 plots with 20 x 30 meters each were demarcated, representing four treatments and a control in three replicates . The four treatments correspond to legumes species that were tested, namely: Dolichos lablab, Crotalaria spectabilis, Mucuna aterrima, “Java”, a legume hybrid obtained from crossing and selection of two cultivars of Macrotyloma axillare. The results show that the pulses have an effect on the development of Brachiaria decumbens in the beginning of its life cycle. Two species of legumes (Mucuna aterrima and Macrotyloma axillare) were efficient in controlling B.decumbens during the whole period of analyses, but also led to death of all tree species in these plots, showing the need for management of these species when used in biological control

Full textObjective: To design, implement and evaluate a multifaceted intervention in the workplace to prevent and manage musculoskeletal pain (MSP). Methods: A two-armed multifaceted cluster randomized controlled trial of one year duration was designed, implemented, and evaluated (effectiveness, process and cost-effectiveness). The intervention included participatory ergonomics, health promotion, and case management. Results: At 12 months, the intervention group showed a statistically significant decrease of the risk in neck, shoulders and upper-back pain compared to the control. No statistically significant effect was found for MSP in other locations, sickness absence nor work functioning. Participatory ergonomics showed a high implementation level, health promotion differed according to the activity and case management showed a low implementation level. To achieve 1-extra-percentual point reduction of MSP in neck, shoulders and upper-back were needed €3.63 (societal perspective) and €1.69 (health system perspective). Conclusions: This intervention was effective and cost-effective to reduce neck, shoulder and upper-back pain and predominantly implemented as intended.

Full textAim: Focusing at imbalance and balance increase the understanding of how competing logics is managed in the management by the correctional care in Sweden. Method: The qualitative study was made with a hermeneutic starting, with 7 semistructured interviews which were made, and where the individual respondents described their own experience of punishment and care. The paper uses an abductive approach where a continuous interaction between theory and empirical data has been used. The analysis was based on the empirical result and the theoretical frame of reference. Result & Conclusion: From the perspective of the organization, balance is achieved between the two competing logics “punishment” and “care” thanks to the prison trying to motivate the prisoners to change their thoughts and behaviours, and to offer the client work, different programs, education, leisure activity, and to have cooperation contracts with external organizations before freedom preparing actions like permissions. Contribution of thesis: The study has contributed to an increased understanding how the competing logics punishment and care manages with help by controls, focusing at imbalance and balance. Out of the study it emerged that the low-risk prison comprises by controls like affect the balance between punishment and care, where imbalance is dominated by punishment, balance more balance between punishment and care. The study maped controls which affect the balance between imbalance and balance, controls which cause imbalance, and controls to reach balance. Suggestions for future research: Further study would be how controls managing at a prison of higher security focusing on imbalance and balance between the competing logics of punishment and care, and compare the results with the results from this study.
