Elevers deltagelsesmuligheder ved brug af litterære forestillingsbilleder i undervisning med et flersprogligt værk
Get PDFLæsning af skønlitteratur rummer et potentiale for at få indblik i andre menneskers tanker, følelser, holdninger og livsverdener. Litteraturteoretikeren Rita Felski formulerer, at mødet med litteraturen kan vække genkendelse, overraskelse, fortryllelse og invitere til dybe sociale, kulturelle og psykologiske indsigter (Felski, 2008). Når lærere udvælger skønlitterære tekster til undervisningsbrug, er nogle af udvælgelseskriterierne netop, at teksterne rummer muligheder for genkendelse og indblik i forskellige kulturer gennem mangeartede sproglige udtryk. Litterære værker med flersproglige træk rummer potentialer for genkendelse og indsigter på andre måder end f.eks. værker fra danskfagets traditionelle litterære kanon. Værkerne kan derfor være med til at udvide deltagelsesmulighederne i undervisningen for eleverne. Undervisningen kan derved både skabe øgede deltagelsesmuligheder, men også give muligheder for indblik i og forståelse for flere sprog og kulturer.
Udvælgelse af velegnet litteratur kan dog ikke stå alene. Teksternes potentiale kan realiseres målrettet i undervisningen gennem litteraturdidaktiske overvejelser, hvor faglig inklusion af alle elever er i fokus (Booth & Ainscow i Messiou 2016; Hedegaard-Sørensen, 2022). Målet med denne artikel er at undersøge, hvordan litteraturundervisning med et udvalgt flersproget litterært værk kan udfoldes, så alle elever uanset sproglig og kulturel baggrund inkluderes. Undersøgelsen søges belyst gennem analyse af nedslag i værket Gigis fortjællinger fra blokken, som er skrevet på dansk, men som også indeholder elementer af etnolekt, slang og engelske ord og vendinger. På baggrund af analysen formuleres litteraturdidaktiske ansatser der kan anvendes til at forbedre undervisningsmetoder og fremme elevernes forståelse og engagement i litterature
Implementation of a Smartphone Coordination App Improved the Work Environment Among Coordinators in the Emergency Department: A Before-and-After Study at Aalborg University Hospital
No full textBaggrund: I Danmark har der i de seneste år været en øget tilstrømning af patienter til akutmodtagelserne med et resulterende pres på arbejdsmiljøet. I Akutmodtagelsen på Aalborg Universitetshospital valgte man at undersøge, om en smartphone-applikation (app) til koordinering af patientflow kunne øge personalets oplevede psykiske arbejdsmiljø gennem blandt andet bedre kommunikation.
Formål: At teste, om det oplevede psykiske arbejdsmiljø kunne forbedres for læger og sygeplejersker i afdelingen ved at implementere koordinationsappen.
Metode: En QR-kode til et elektronisk spørgeskema blev hængt op i afdelingen. Alle medarbejdere i afdelingen blev opfordret til daglig besvarelse. Spørgeskemaet var tilgængeligt syv dage før og syv dage efter implementeringen af appen. QR-koden og spørgeskemaet blev også nævnt til hver morgenkonference. Spørgsmålene blev besvaret på en 0-100 visuel analog skala (VAS).
Resultat: Spørgeskemaet blev besvaret af 61 ansatte (11 koordinatorer, som er læger og sygeplejersker, der koordinerer patientflow) før implementeringen og 51 ansatte (17 koordinatorer) efter implementeringen. Det oplevede ”arbejdsmiljø i travle perioder” blev generelt scoret lavt før implementeringen (koordinatorers median VAS-score 38 (interkvartilområde (IQR): 16;50) og ikke-koordinatorers median VAS-score 50 (IQR: 32;76), p-værdi = 0,06). Den subjektivt bedømte ”arbejdsmiljøscore” steg signifikant efter implementeringen af koordinationsappen for koordinatorerne (median VAS-score 70 (IQR: 51;82) versus 38 (IQR: 16;50), p-værdi = 0,005). Det samme skete for ”kommunikationsscoren” for koordinatorerne (median 58 (IQR: 35;71) før versus 79 (IQR: 70;79) efter implementering, p-værdi = 0,01). Permanent implementering af koordinationsappen ønskedes af 71 % af koordinatorerne.
Konklusion: Arbejdsmiljøet var generelt lavt i en stor akutafdeling på Aalborg Universitetshospital i Danmark. Efter implementeringen af en koordinationsapp øgedes arbejdsmiljøscorerne for koordinatorer sammen med deres scorer for kommunikation. Den eksterne validitet til andre store danske akutafdelinger forventes at være høj.Background: In Denmark, there has been an increase in patient admissions to Emergency Medicine Departments, resulting in increased pressure on the work environment. At the Department of Emergency Medicine at Aalborg University Hospital, a smartphone application (app) for coordinating patient flow was tested to evaluate its potential to optimize workflow and thereby improve the work environment.
Methods: A QR code linking to an electronic questionnaire was distributed in the department during the seven days before and the seven days after implementation of the app. The QR code and questionnaire were also mentioned at the daily morning meetings. Doctors and nurses answered the questions using a 0-100 visual analogue scale (VAS).
Results: Before implementation of the app, 61 employees (11 coordinators, defined as doctors and nurses responsible for coordinating patient flow) completed the questionnaire. After implementation, 51 employees responded (17 coordinators). The perceived work environment during crowding scored low before app implementation, with a median VAS score of 38 (Interquartile range (IQR): 16;50) among coordinators and 50 (IQR: 32;76) among non-coordinators on a 0-100 scale. The work environment significantly improved among coordinators after app implementation (median VAS score 70 (IQR: 51;82) versus 38 (IQR: 16;50), p-value = 0.005). Furthermore, a significant improvement in communication during crowding was observed among coordinators after app implementation (median VAS score 79 (IQR: 70;79) versus 58 (IQR: 35;71), p-value = 0.01). Permanent implementation of the app was desired by 71% of coordinators.
Conclusion: The work environment scores were generally low in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Aalborg University Hospital in Denmark. Implementation of a coordination app proved effective in improving both work environment and communication scores among coordinators. The external validity is expected to be high for other large Emergency Medicine Departments
Seksualitet som strategi: En undersøgelse af seksualitetsbegrebets dobbeltrolle i dansk LGBT+-aktivismes tidlige historie
Get PDF
This article examines Holger Bramlev’s 1954 manifesto and its strategic use of the concept of sexuality during the early phase of Danish LGBT+ activism. Through a Foucauldian reading, the analysis explores how Bramlev simultaneously utilized and reproduced contemporary medical and identity-based understandings of homosexuality to advance demands for recognition and rights. The article argues that Bramlev’s manifesto illustrates the double role of the concept of sexuality: as a tool for mobilizing resistance and as a framework that reinforces oppressive categorizations. The article concludes that Bramlev’s eclectic and often contradictory arguments can be seen as a meaningful response to a contradictory discourse around sexuality
Torture, trauma and posttraumatic symptoms in Syrian women asylum seekers in the Greek border camp of Idomeni
Get PDFIntroduction: Experiencing traumatic events and torture due to war, the migratory process, and staying in confinement centers exposes refugees to a high risk of suffering psychological problems. Thevulnerability of experiencing posttraumatic symptomatology is mediated not only by the traumaticexperiences but also by the contextual and migratory factors at the time of assessment. The presentstudy aimed to determine the quantity and intensity of posttraumatic symptoms in a sample of refugee women blocked at the Idomeni refugee camp (Greece) under eviction. Moreover, some qualitative data were gathered throughout the interviews. Method: The methodological approach was amixed method where 23 Syrian and Kurdish women, aged 28.9 years (SD = 12.6), were interviewedthrough the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (HTQ) in its Iraqi version. Results: The women experienced between 7-32 traumatic events (M = 19.47, SD = 6.68) and 4-16 torture events (M = 9.78, SD= 3.35). Re-experiencing was the most reported symptom (95.6%). A 78.26% showed posttraumaticsymptoms that exceeded the cut-off point for diagnosis the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)with the HTQ criteria and 91.30% with the DSM-IV criteria. On the other hand, qualitative dataemphasized the importance of the fact that arriving and living in the camp in Idomeni severely shookthe women´s beliefs. Conclusion: Despite the low correlation found between traumatic and tortureevents and the posttraumatic symptoms due to the ceiling effects of the results, women reportedtraumatic and torture events associated with war and the migratory process. The high scores couldbe explained by the stress associated with torture events, the eviction of the refugee camp, and thefrustration of their expectations regarding their reception in Europe as refugees. The notion of torturing environments emerges as a plausible framework to study the link between mental health and European forced migration routes
Hidden Scars: The impact of torture, traumatic brain injury, and PTSD on executive functions - a narrative review
Get PDFIntroduction: Victims of torture are often subjected to physical violence, which can result in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and PTSD. Executive functions encompass a complex set of higher cognitive abilities that include memory, inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, planning, reasoning, and problem solving. This narrative review aimed to outline how torture affects executive functions, particularly in the context of TBI and PTSD. Methods: We searched the scientific literature using the databases of PubMed, PsycINFO and PsychArticles. The search included combinations of the terms: Torture, Executive Functions, Traumatic Brain Injury, Stress, PTSD, Refugee, Asylum Seeker, Memory, Planning, Motivation, as well as relevant Medical Subline Headings (MeSH). Results: Both TBI and PTSD have been associated with thinning of the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala. Such changes lead to a broad spectrum of cognitive and emotional issues. Victims of torture, for example, might display a lack of coherence, initiative, motivation, and the inability to respond to changes in their environment. Discussion: In most countries, asylum-seeking is based on interviews in which individuals must provide a detailed and coherent narrative of the events that justify asylum. However, the neurological consequences of torture are rarely considered during asylum-seeking interviews, and a lack of details and coherence might be considered as a proxy for false statements. Conclusions: Knowledge of the effects of torture on executive functions is critical for the design and implementation of treatment strategies that increase the chances of recovery
