EN FRÅGA OM FULLVÄRDIGT MEDBORGARSKAP : En studie om personalens upplevelser av hinder och möjligheter i arbetet med självbestämmande hos personer inom LSS
No full textFöljande studie syftar till att undersöka personalens uppfattningar om hinder och möjligheter för att inkludera brukare i beslutsfattande och medbestämmande, i enlighet med intentionerna i LSS-lagstiftningen. Fokus ligger på de insatser som erbjuds brukarna inom grupp- och servicebostäder. Studiens teoretiska inramning består av empowerment, det styrkebaserade perspektivet, självbestämmandeteorin samt begreppen paternalism, makt, praxis och handlingsutrymme. Studien har genomförts genom kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer på sju respondenter som arbetar på grupp- eller servicebostad med olika utbildningsbakgrund och erfarenhet inom fältet. Studiens resultat har analyserats med hjälp av en tematisk analys, och visar att det finns flera aspekter som påverkar arbetet med brukares självbestämmande på grupp- och servicebostäder, vilka inkluderar personalens utbildningsbakgrund, förståelse för lagstiftning, kommunikation, relationellt arbete och strukturell påverkan. Dessa faktorer har visat sig skapa såväl hinder som möjligheter för att inkludera brukare i beslutsfattande och medbestämmande. Studiens relevans för socialt arbete återfinns i lagstiftningen som utrycker vikten av jämlika levnadsvillkor, samtidigt som det finns en diskrepans i hur arbetet med självbestämmande ser ut i teori och praktik. Således belyser föreliggande studie den problematik som bidrar till att individer med funktionsnedsättning exkluderas från samhället, vilket kan tas i beaktande både nu och i framtidenThe following study aims to examine social care staff’s perceptions of both barriers and possibilities to include service users in decision making and co-determination, in accordance with the Swedish law of support and service for certain disabilities. The focus is directed towards the support services available to service users in group homes and supported housing. The study’s theoretical framework consists of empowerment, the strengths perspective and the self-determination theory as well as the concepts of paternalism, power, praxis and room for action. The study has been carried out using qualitative semi-structured interviews with seven participants who currently work in specialized housing for people with disabilities, with different educational background and experience in the field. The material have been analyzed using thematic analysis and the results suggests that there are multiple factors that affects the social work related to the service user’s self-determination in group homes and supported housing, which includes the staff’s educational background, legal knowledge, communication, relational practice and structural impact. These factors have proven to create both barriers and possibilities to include service users in decision making and co determination. The relevance of this study is specified in the law that states the importance of equal living conditions, while there is an inconsistency in the work regarding self-determination in theory and practice. The study highlights the problem that contributes to social exclusion for people with disabilities, which can be considered both now and in the futur

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
Variations on the Author
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
