Behandling av selvskade – hva virker, og hva virker ikke?
No full textSelvskading øker i en rekke land og spesielt blant unge jenter. Formålet med denne artikkelen er å presenterebred kunnskap om behandling av selvskade. Resultater fra randomiserte kontrollstudier og effektstudier, kunnskapfra psykoterapiforskning, samt funn fra kvalitative studier gjengis for å diskutere om noen behandlingsmodeller ellerintervensjoner er bedre enn andre. Det fremheves at noen behandlingsmodeller viser effekt, men at det er uklarthvordan spesifikke og felles behandlingsfaktorer, samt felles elementer på tvers av behandlingsmodellene, harinnvirkning på behandlingsutfall. Forfatteren argumenterer for betydningen av å utforske hvilken funksjon selvskadingen har i den enkeltes hverdag. Behandlingsmodellene fremhever i ulik grad selvskade som affektreguleringsstrategi og fokuserer på alternative mestringsstrategier, som forsøk på representasjon og kommunikasjon og fokuserer på å finne nye uttrykk for opplevelser, eller som eksistensiell og relasjonell utforskning og fokuserer på tilliti terapirelasjonen. Et heterogent perspektiv på forskningsmetoder, behandlingsmodeller og selvskadingens funksjon er viktig for å forstå et komplekst fenomen som selvskade. Heterogenitet i tiltak og intervensjonsfokus bør vektes i enhver behandlingssammenheng fordi pasientene erforskjellige. Kunnskap om selvskade bør også relateres til utviklingspsykologiske utfordringer i ungdomstiden ogsosiokulturelle faktorer for å forstå økningen i selvskade blant ungdom generelt og unge jenter spesielt.Self-harm is increasing in several countries and especially among young girls. The aim of this article is to presentbroad knowledge on treatment of self-harm. Results from randomized control studies and effect studies, knowledgefrom psychotherapy research, and findings from qualitative studies are presented to discuss if some treatment models orinterventions are better than others. It is underlined that some treatment models show effect but, still, unclear how specificand common treatment factors, and common elements across treatment models, have an effect on treatment outcome. The importance of exploring the function of self-harm in the patient’s everyday life is underlined. Treatment models may in different degree highlight self-harm as affect regulationand focus on alternative coping strategies, or a way to represent and communicate and focus on finding ways to expressexperiences, or as existential and relational exploration and focus on trust in the therapeutic relationship. A heterogenicperspective on research methods, treatment models and the function of self-harm is of importance to understand acomplex phenomenon as self-harm. A diversity in interventions and focus of treatment should be weighted in everytreatment process because patients are different. Findings on self-harm should be related to developmental challengesduring adolescence and sociocultural factors to understand.the increase of self-harm among youths in general, and younggirls specifically

Natursti i naturfag på videregående skole: En studie av postene og elevenes erfaringer fra en natursti om radioaktivitet og stråling: A nature trail in science at an upper-secondary level: A study of the posts and students’ experiences from a nature trail about radioactivity and radiation
No full textThis article explores how a nature trail can be used as an approach in science education at an uppersecondarylevel in Norway. The topic of the trail is radioactivity and radiation. The article illuminatesobstacles and possibilities connected to the trail’s posts, how the students experience the posts, and whattakes place during the transport between posts. This inspires how the nature trail can be redesigned. Thefindings point to that the assignments given in the posts are typically closed questions that to a smalldegree are related to phenomena at the location. Video observations show that student groups meeteach other, and they help each other with the questions. The student group followed in this article, usesapproximately half of the time available for walking between posts. This is regarded as unused potentialfor learning. The redesign is based on didactical reconsiderations consisting of seven questions that canbe adapted to other contexts. The contributions of this article are knowledge and experiences concerninga nature trail in science, which is an unexplored area within the field of outdoor education pedagogy
Kale Akte – ‘the Fair Promontory’. New Research and Interpretations on the Urban History and Foundation by Ducetius
No full textThis paper examines the origins of the ancient urban settlement Kale Akte on the north coast of Sicily, based on the extensive excavations and research carried out at Caronia and Caronia Marina over the last two decades. It is suggested that the name Kale Akte – ‘Fair Promontory’ – was probably coined in Archaic times by Greek merchants and would have derived from the promontory with its harbour, an obvious landmark for the Greeks. The recently discovered Archaic harbour at Caronia Marina is regarded as a Sikel harbour, created as a maritime outlet for a Sikel settlement that must have existed on the hill-top of Caronia before the foundation by Ducetius. The archaeological finds suggest that the Sikel settlement was well acquainted with the Greek custom of the symposion. In the Archaic period, Kale Akte can be viewed as a ‘middle ground’ where traders of different ethnicities and cultural identity put differences aside in order to make a profit on trade. The topographical characteristics of the site are compared with the two other alleged foundations by Ducetius: Menai (Mineo) and Paliké. The hill-top of Caronia has close similarities with Mineo, but also with Cittadella, the precursor to Morgantina. Ducetius cannot have been the instigator behind the grand urban plan of Morgantina, since all his urban projects seem to have been on a relatively limited scale. The topographical situation of Kale Akte is also compared with that of the neighbouring cities Halaesa, Apollonia and Haluntium. However, the interests of these urban centres were dominated by territorial ambitions, while Kale Akte appears to have specialized in trade and maritime commerce from its inception. It is suggested that the harbour of Kale Akte in Roman times may well have served a much larger area than its own territory. The foundation of Kale Akte on the hill-top of Caronia is thought to have been undertaken by Ducetius with the consent of Syracuse, which was interested in founding a maritime trading post on this part of the coast, and was still under Sikel dominion. This would explain the open character of the settlement and the lack of any fortifications
Unges dialektbrug i bygden Sandur på Færøerne
No full textDenne artikel drøfter dialektændringer hos unge i bygden Sandur på Sandoy på Færøerne. Artiklen bygger på data, som blev indsamlet på øen den 15. november 2019. Feltarbejdet blev udført af en gruppe studerende på Institut for færøsk på Færøernes Universitet som en del af studieemnet dialektologi under ledelse af denne artikels forfatter. Informanterne er skoleelever i hhv. 3.–4. klasse og 9. klasse. Ved at vælge skoleelever kan vi få indblik i, hvordan dialekten har det blandt de yngste sprogbrugere. Af pladshensyn undersøges kun tre lingvistiske variabler i denne artikel: (i) Variation mellem bestemt og ubestemt form af ord for familjemedlemmer, f. eks. dialektformen mamman ʿmorenʾ og den centralfærøske form mamma ʿmorʾ, (ii) Personlige og possessive pronominer i 1. og 2. pers. flertal i oblik kasus, f. eks. dialekt¬formen [o:gʊn], skrevet ʿosʾ og den centralfærøske form [ɔʰk:ʊn], skrevet , (iii) Udtalen af kort ó med dialektvarianten [ɔ] og den centralfærøske variant [œ], f. eks. [fɔl̥k] og [fœl̥k], skrevet ʿfolkʾ. Den første variabel viser en tydelig tendens til dialektændring, da den ubestemte central¬færøske standardform er langt mere frekvent end den bestemte dialektform. Brugen af pro¬nominer viser stor variation, hvor de lokale former står stærkt i den yngste aldersgruppe. Brugen af kort ó viser også stor variation, men her ser vi den samme tendens som ovenfor for variabel 2, at de yngste elever i højere grad har den lokale [ɔ]-udtale, mens variationen hos de ældste elever er langt større. I artiklen vil der blive henvist til en undersøgelse af sandoydialekten fra 2005 (Johannesen 2005).In this article, dialect changes and variation among young schoolchildren in the island of Sandoy in the Faroe Islands are discussed. The fieldwork was made by a group of students at the University of the Faroe Islands in November 2019 under the guidance of this article’s author. The informants are two groups of 10 and 15 year old schoolchildren. By examining the young generation, we can get information about the ‘state of health’ of the dialect. Here three dialectal variables are examined: (i) The variation of definite and indefinite form of words for family members, for instance the dialectal form mamman ‘the mother’ and the Central Faroese form mamma ‘mother’; (ii) Personal and possessive pronouns in 1st and 2nd person plural in oblique case, for instance the dialect form [o:gʊn] ‘us’ and the Central Faroese form [ɔʰk:ʊn] ‘us’; (iii) The pronunciation of short ó with the dialectal variant [ɔ] and the Central Faroese form [œ], for instance [fɔlk] resp. [fœlk] ‘people’.
The first variable shows clearly a tendency towards dialect change in the young generation: the indefinite forms are much more frequent than the dialect counterpart. The use of the pronouns shows a relatively high degree of variation: the dialect forms are more frequently used by the 10 than the 15 year old pupils. The pronunciation of short ó shows variation to a large extent. Here we see the same pattern as we saw for variable 2: the youngest pupils are more likely to use the dialect¬al form [ɔ] than the older ones. On the other hand, variation is much more common in the group of 15 year old pupils.
This study shows both stability and change in the dialect of children in Sandoy: Stability in use of the dialectal forms of the personal and possessive pro¬nouns, and variation and change in the two other variables. In a couple of years an underwater tunnel will connect the island of Sandoy with the central part of the islands. In a future scenario this dialect study opens the possibility for comparative studies of the dialect of Sandoy before and after the opening of the tunnel
Language and Revolution: Arabic in Lebanon after the October Revolution as a case study
No full textSpeakers’ individual and collective identities are socially constructed through their linguistic and social behavior, and inevitably shaped by the socio-political and cultural situation of a region and its observers. It stands to reason, therefore, that significant changes in a community’s linguistic practices are often catalyzed by noteworthy socio-political developments within the same community. In this light, the present study aims to explore recent linguistic developments regarding speakers’ use of Arabic and their perception of its status in Lebanon in the midst of a time of profound social and political change: The October Revolution.
The present study opens with an introduction that reviews Lebanon’s linguistic panorama before October 17th, 2019, and provides a brief synopsis of the succession of events now widely known as ‘The October Revolution’. The second section explains the study’s theoretical approach and the nature of the data. The third and last section focuses on how the events of the October Revolution have, at least temporarily, affected the use and status of Arabic in Lebanon and reshaped this language’s place in the public sphere
