Upptäckarpraktikerna, vad och hur identifieras barn?
Get PDFI ljuset av ett ökat fokus på tidiga och samordnade insatser för barn och unga pågår flera utvecklingsarbeten med ambitionen att öka möjligheterna att erbjuda stöd till barn och förbättra samverkan mellan välfärdsorganisationer. Många av dessa initiativ har hämtat inspiration från den skotska nationella barnpolicyn Getting it right for every child (GIRFEC) (se t.ex. Anderberg, Forkby & Thelin 2020). Utvecklingsinitiativ som hämtat inspiration från GIRFEC kan betraktas som strävanden att reformera välfärdsarbetet med barn och unga, utifrån intentioner om att i ett tidigare skede uppmärksamma barn som riskerar en ogynnsam utveckling och öka möjligheterna för att få till stånd tidiga insatser (Thelin, Enell & Forkby 2021).
Ambitioner om att i ett tidigare skede uppmärksamma barn som riskerar någon form av ogynnsam utveckling aktualiserar vad som kan beskrivas som tidigt upptäckt. Tidig upptäckt handlar om att i ett så tidigt skede som möjligt identifiera barn som bedöms riskera en ogynnsam utveckling för att tidiga insatser ska kunna sättas in. I min avhandling studerar jag hur upptäcktsprocesser av barn som bedöms riskera en ogynnsam utveckling formas genom olika aktörer inom ramen för ett GIRFEC-inspirerat arbetssätt. Dessa aktörer utgörs av barn, föräldrar och professionella, men också artefakter som bedömningsstöd (jfr Latour 1992). I studien använder jag etnografiska metoder för att följa elevhälsans arbete och ta del av vilka barn de bedömer riskerar någon form av ogynnsam utveckling och hur dessa bedömningar görs utifrån förändrade arbetssätt.
Genom att följa elevhälsans arbete är det möjligt att ta del av vilka barn olika professionella och professioner bedömer riskerar en ogynnsam utveckling, hur de förhåller sig till och bedömer föräldrars förmåga samt hur artefakter som bedömningsstöd och anmälningsskyldigheten påverkar bedömningar. I studien ämnar jag även observera möten som professionella har med barn och föräldrar utifrån bedömningar om oro samt komplettera dessa observationer med intervjuer med barn och föräldrar. I presentationen kommer jag presentera iakttagelser och reflektioner utifrån pågående empiriinsamling. Presentationen är en del av forskningsprogrammet Connected Children som kombinerar forskning och praktik med syftet att utveckla tidiga och samordnade insatser för barn och unga
Empowerment and equality in parental support for foreign-born fathers : A qualitative study
No full textParental support programs aimed at foreign-born parents have increased in interest in Swedish municipalities. Research on these types of parental support programs is therefore important in order to ensure that the support given have the desired effects and that the programs have value for the individuals to whom the support is directed. The aim of this thesis was to identify the goals of a parental support program offered to foreign-born fathers as well as to investigate and analyse how participants in the parental support program experience and understand their participation in the program in relation to these goals. The empirical material was collected through qualitative textual analysis of background documents to the parental support program as well as through qualitative interviews with three participants in the program. The empirical material was analysed through theories of empowerment and gender. The result showed both similarities and differences between the participants experiences of the parental support program and the background documents that formed the basis of the program. The main result showed that the goal of the parental support was to fundamentally change the fathers’ way of being, by promoting gender equality and by inspiring fathers to take greater responsibility for their children. However, the interviewed fathers held a pragmatic attitude towards the parental support program, by using the information as a tool to maneuver in Swedish society without necessarily having to fundamentally change

”What you need to do is to decide to be drugfree and stick to that plan” : a netnographic study of addiction treatment
No full textThe aim of this study is to research the effect stigmatization has on alcohol and drug abusers. Furthermore the purpose is to understand if stigmatization prevents people from seeking professional treatment in order to overcome their addiction. This is done using a qualitative approach, seeking knowledge on one of Sweden’s biggest online forums, Flashback. In order to gain knowledge from people who themselves suffer from addiction this study is based on several discussions in forum threads where addiction treatment is discussed. To analyse the data and research how stigmatization affects individuals with an addiction Goffman’s theory of stigma is used. To further analyse the result Scheff’s notion of shame and Cooley’s looking-glass self is used. The most prominent way to become free from addiction that was discussed was to strengthen your character or in other ways retake control of your own life. People often thought the reason a person was stuck in addiction was because of weak character or other character flaws. Drug and alcohol abusers was often portrayed as unsuccessful individuals. This shows how stigmatization of drug and alcohol abuse is reproduced. Professional treatment was in some cases discussed as a helpful method to help battle addiction, though not as often as the “strengthen your character” alternative. The result also shows that people stuck in addiction is not a homogeneous group where there is a consensus on how to best battle addiction. In contrast the result shows that everyone seems to carry their own opinion on how to best overcome addiction

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
