    Elevers perspektiv på mobbning och att arbeta förebyggande med mobbning2014Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Denna studie är av kvalitativ karaktär med en fenomenologisk ansats. Fyra elever har intervjuats, där tre utav dem har intervjuats tillsammans i fokusgrupp och en individuell intervju, för att undersöka deras erfarenheter av mobbning och förebyggande arbete med mobbning. Elevernas erfarenheter sätts i fokus och deras berättelser ligger till grund för vad de kommer fram till är effektiva metoder för att arbeta förebyggande med mobbning. Hur dessa elever själva hade valt att arbeta förebyggande med mobbning är vad som är intressant för denna uppsats. Intervjuerna som genomförts har varit av semistrukturerad karaktär där det har använts öppna frågor för att lämna mycket utrymme för berättelser och resonering kring ämnet som kan ge en djupare förståelse av elevernas uppfattning. Resultatet redovisar vad eleverna har för uppfattningar om mobbning, vem som mobbas och vem som mobbar, med maktaspekten av mobbning i fokus och sen har det lett fram till metoder för att förebygga mobbning. Slutsatserna blir tre metoder som kan användas för att förebygga mobbning i en klass eller på en skola. En metod handlar om eleverna delaktighet, den andra om en skrämseltaktik och den tredje om lärarens ansvar att känna eleverna och på så vis kunna arbeta med maktbalansen och rollerna i klassen.

    Mobbning från ett infrånperspektiv2013Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Denna uppsats är en kvalitativ studie med syfte att finna förståelse för hur en blivande lärare med erfarenhet av att bli mobbade ser på sitt framtida arbete med att motverka mobbning. Den förklarar också hur mobbningen har påverkat den blivande läraren i relation till sitt framtida yrke. Uppsatsen baseras på tre djupintervjuer. Uppsatsen har ett studentperspektiv där författarna vill veta hur lärarstudenter kommer hantera anti-mobbningsfrågor i relation till sina egna upplevelser som mobbade under sin egen skolgång. Intervjuerna har varit semistrukturerade där författarna ställt öppna frågor och fokuserat på vad undersökningspersonen själv valt vad hen vill berätta. Författarna fokuserar på relationen mellan undersökningspersonernas erfarenheter och vad de vill göra för att förebygga mobbning och kränkande behandling i sitt kommande yrke. Resultatet visar att undersökningspersonerna har en erfarenhet som gynnar arbetet mot mobbning och kränkande behandling. Undersökningspersonerna har utifrån sina tidigare erfarenheter av mobbning visat på metoder som de tror kan fungera. Det kan exempelvis vara att fokusera på elevers styrkor och ta fasta på de men även fokusera på vilka konsekvenser mobbningen får den enskilda individen. Resultatet visar även att det finns samband mellan undersökningspersonernas berättelser och hur en känd anti-mobbningsorganisation arbetar.

    "Kul att komma med idéer när någon lyssnar": En kvalitativ studie om hur LSS-personal upplever inflytande och bemötande i deras dagliga arbete2021Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 180 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    LSS-personal beskrivs som innehavare av en viktig roll i utförandet av LSS-insatser. Insatserna ska ges utifrån en helhetssyn där beslut bör fattas så nära den funktionsvarierade individen som möjligt och där LSS-personalens erfarenhet bör tas tillvara. För att kunna inta detta helhetsperspektiv och för att samordna LSS- insatserna behöver LSS-personal samarbeta med andra professioner. Idag finns det begränsad forskning som lyfter personalperspektivet på det bemötande LSS-personal får från andra professioner och på det inflytande LSS-personal har i sin yrkesroll. Syftet med studien är att undersöka LSS-personal i ett begränsat område om hur de upplever bemötande och inflytande i deras dagliga arbete, för att öka kunskapen om deras arbetssituation. Syftet besvaras utifrån tre frågeställningar: Hur upplever LSS- personalen att de blir bemötta av andra professioner och av kollegor i den egna personalgruppen? Vad upplever LSS-personalen påverkar deras inflytande i det dagliga arbetet? Vad är LSS-personalens upplevelse av kompetensens betydelse för möjlighet att utöva inflytande i det dagliga arbetet? I studien används en kvalitativ metod medföljande semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultatet behandlar, med hjälp av en tematisk analys, personalens upplevelser av bemötande, inflytande och kompetens. Bemötande från ledning och chef upplevs förändras beroende på om organisationen är vinstdrivande eller inte. Vad som hindrar respondenternas inflytande är medlemmar från den egna personalgruppen som utnyttjar sitt inflytande mot annan personal eller mot de funktionsvarierade individerna på gruppbostaden. Ökat samarbete och vidareutbildning lyfts som ett förslag till en möjlighet att öka inflytandet. Upplevelserna pekar mot ett behov av att öka samverkan mellan de olika professionerna inom LSS-området.

    Senior bastards - rebellion against or a repetition of negative age codes?2015In: IAGG-ER 8th Congress Dublin 2015 - Unlocking the Demographic Dividend: Congress Abstracts, The Irish Gerontological Society , 2015, Vol. 6, p. 319-319Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In contemporary media and scientific contexts, it has become increasingly popular to launch today's elderly as different from previous generations of older people, especially emphasized is that today's elderly will have more attitude and set higher demands on society. The TV- series “Pensionärsjävlar” (Senior bastards) is based on this idea of today's and tomorrow's elderly as different and more rebellious than previous generations. The purpose of this presentation is to analyze and discuss how age and age codes are used as a prerequisite for, but also are challenged in the series. The result builds on a study of the Swedish TV-series Senior bastards that was broadcasted in 2010. The theoretical perspective implies age as a social construction of performativity and interaction. The result shows that chronological age is almost absent in the series, instead age coding is performed by physical attributes and verbal acts. Most common attributes are those connected to decreased functionality, such as walker, wheelchair, walking stick etcetera. The most common taboo joked about is sexuality, and other common themes are decreased functionality, child/youth like behavior and traffic. In the presentation I discuss how these themes and attributes are negotiated in relation to positive and negative age codes. © Irish Gerontological Society, 2015

    Pensioneer camps - about doing age and making difference2015In: IAGG-ER 8th Congress Dublin 2015 - Unlocking the Demographic Dividend: Congress Abstracts, The Irish Gerontological Society , 2015, Vol. 6, p. 337-337Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    "Pensioneer camps", summer camps aimed at older people, has for some years been established in several locations in Sweden. What unites the camps is the claimed positive effect they have for older people's health and quality of life. The stay is said to break isolation and lead to new habits and friendships that endure. This multidisciplinary study focuses on the phenomenon "Pensioneer camp" with the overall aim to study its health and life enhancing potential. Pensioneer camps are examined from a structural cultural-historical perspective focusing on the discourses in action, from an ethnographic perspective, focusing on identity construction and performance of age and from an activity perspective, focusing on quality of life and health in everyday life before and after the camp stay. Key issues are: What impact have older or more general discourses of "summer camp" on the activities? What age coded practices are made possible and how is age performed? How is the camp experienced by the elderly and it can be said to have any long-lasting impact in their lives after their stay? By studying both the individual, cultural and organizational aspects in relation to Pensioneer camps it enables both in- depth scientific knowledge of older people's quality of life and health in general, and, recommendations for future local investment in Pensioneer camps in terms of possibilities and limitations. © Irish Gerontological Society, 2015

    Rör sig elever tillräckligt mycket?: En studie om pojkar och flickors fysiska aktivitet på fyra olika skolor2011Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which children's physical activity during school  hours  are  met  in  relation  to  today’s  health  recommendations.  This  study  was  a quantitative  research  method  through  study  with  pedometers  and  observation.  The  main instrument was pedometers which the pupils wore during one day at school. The study group consisted of 74 students, made up of 36 boys and 38 girls from the 4th grade in four schools in  southern Sweden. The  results demonstrate  that  the boys were physical active 47-50 % of what  they should and  the girls 33-36 % of what  they should according  to recommendations. The boys  took about 3000 more  steps  than  the girls.  In our  study only one boy  reached  the recommended  amount  of  steps  per  day,  but  no  girl  did. The  conclusion  is  that  the  pupils  are  inactive  during  their  time  in  school.    There  are differences  in  boys'  and  girls'  physical  activity,  both  within  each  school  and  between  the schools. The observation showed that the girls stand still more than the boys during break and the girls are generally less active than the boys at all four schools.

    Pedagogers uppfattningar av bemötande gentemot elever i svårigheter2010Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor)Student thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Skolan har idag svårt att uppfylla sitt uppdrag gentemot alla elever vilket är att utformaundervisningen så den tillgodoser alla elevers behov. Uppfyllandet av uppdraget brister främst närdet att få elever i svårigheter att utveckla sina kunskaper. Det ställs höga krav på elevernasprestationer och kunskaper i skolans ämnen, vilka de har svårt att nå upp till. Detta innebär attlärarna måste ta hänsyn till elevernas unika inlärningsstil samt deras olikheter och utifrån demskapa en varierad undervisning där alla elever ges möjlighet att utvecklas. Varför elever hamnar isvårigheter har varit omdiskuterat och vissa menar att det är miljön som brister medan andrapåstår att det är eleven själv som brister.Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att undersöka pedagogers uppfattningar av hur de börbemöta och tillgodose elever i svårigheters behov. Undersökningen utgår från tre fiktivafallbeskrivningar som representerar elever i olika typer av svårigheter. Inspirationen tillundersökningen växte fram under lärarutbildningen då vi läste specialiseringenSpecialpedagogik. Vi har i undersökningen inspirerats av den fenomenografiska ansatsenvilken syftar till att undersöka individers uppfattning av samma fenomen. Resultatet haruppkommit genom sju kvalitativa intervjuer med pedagoger verksamma i grundskolanstidigare åldrar. I fenomenografisk anda har vi utifrån resultatet kunnat urskilja likheter ochskillnader i pedagogernas syn på hur de ska bemöta och tillgodose elever i svårigheter ochderas behov. Genom resultatet har vi sedan funnit beskrivningskategorier tilllitteraturgenomgången, resultatredovisningen och analysen vilka är självkänsla, socialasvårigheter matematiksvårigheter och koncentrationssvårigheter. Vidare framkom det iresultatet att föräldrakontakt och skolmiljöns utformning är väsentliga faktorer när det gällerpedagogers bemötande. Undersökningen visar på att den framtagna forskningen ochpedagogerna är överens om att det är viktigt att se till helheten för att tillgodose elever isvårigheters behov och det första steget att undanröja svårigheter är att stärka elevernassjälvkänsla. Det visade sig även att en gemensam uppfattning var att alla i elevens omgivningoch eleven själv har ett gemensamt ansvar för att på bästa möjliga sätt underlätta och hjälpa.

    Utan flygtekniker lyfter vi inte!: Vad lyfter professionen?2023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    To ensure the operational capabilities of the Swedish Air Force's aircraft, maintenance and preparation of the aircraft are required – these calls for aviation maintenance personnel. In this research, we have explored how the skills supply for aircraft technicians and flight engineers can be developed and what influences the perception of the profession.

    The units studied are perceived to have a high workload due to high demand on available resources. With a fleet of aircraft beginning to approach the end of their life cycle with higher failure rates and a lack of available spare parts, the pressure and workload on the aircraft maintenance organization increases even more.

    Through interviews with aircraft technicians (flight mechanics and engineers) from the tactical airlift-, special missions flight-, and executive squadrons at Skaraborg Air Force Wing (F 7), as well as conducting workshop with personnel from the 2nd Helicopter Squadron, we analysed the barriers and opportunities to attract, recruit, develop and retain aviation maintenance personnel.

    Our empirical data shows that personnel in the aviation maintenance organization enjoy the varied work primarily associated with the flight engineer profession, but they feel that their salary does not correspond to the length of their education and the difficulty level of their positions. The aviation maintenance technicians feel a decrease in the status of their profession and with the initiation of the Three-tier officer system [Trebefälssystemet, (3BS)] they perceive the career paths as unclear.

    As a scientific reference to the empirical work, professional and organizational theoretical literature and research are used, which have been studied in the analysis and perspective of the empirical work.

    To enhance the status of the profession, it is suggested to continue the work on the Air Force's Career and Professional Development System, [Flygvapnets Karriär- och Yrkesutvecklingssystem, (FKY)] and its implementation. Active efforts should be made to promote the aviation technician profession to attract more applicants. To enable further education, alternative training paths should become more known within the organization. In the study, it is proposed that the Swedish Armed Forces, among other things, investigate tutoring and mentoring, alternative education paths and validation opportunities for continued career development.

    The harmonization of civilian and military regulations for obtaining aviation technician certifications is believed to have a positive impact from a recruitment perspective, and on the status of the profession as well as professional exchange with other actors within the flight maintenance organizations.

    Civila företag i Försvarsmaktens tjänst: Det civila näringslivets möjligheter till att stödja med teknisktjänst under ensäkerhetspolitisk kris.2022Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this thesis has been to investigate what opportunities the commercial industry has to support the Armed Forces with repair and maintenance services of armed forces common equipment during a security policy crisis. The development of our Total Defence has once again become a topical issue, linked to the security policy situation in Europe today. The Swedish Total Defence aims to ensure that civil defence, together with the Swedish Armed Forces, jointly strengthens the overall resilience of society. A strong and robust civil defence is a prerequisite for society to be able to support the Armed Forces during crises and war.

    The method that has been our guidance during the study is based on an inductive approach with an exploratory approach. The data collection and its processing has been qualitative, where the data collection has been carried out through semi-structured interviews of respondents from both the commercial industry and the Swedish Armed Forces. The collected data in the form of interview data has been analysed, coded and grouped into themes according to the method of thematic analysis.

    The results of the study show that Sweden no longer has the capacity for crisis preparedness that we had in the late 1990s and where the government in the end repealed the regulation on the Total Defence repair and maintenance service. However, our collected data shows that both government public inquiries, as well as authorities and the commercial industry, once again see a need and opportunity to recreate some form of collaboration between civilian companies and the Armed Forces in order to increase the availability of joint armed forces equipment.

    The study has concluded that Sweden has the prerequisites to be able to establish a repair and maintenance service similar to the one we had before June 2007. Where civilian companies have a role in supporting the Armed Forces with the repair and maintenance service of armed forces common equipment in the event of crises, armed attack or war.

    Verbal artistry in building a youth chat room community: leet speak, language play, and multilingual resources2013Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This talk discusses ways in which chat room participants in a Swedish youth chat room deploy leet speak and other hybrid language forms (including code switches, Swenglish, "Swedish Deutsch" and other multilingual resources).  The focus is on the ways in which such hybrid forms are deployed by the participants as part of their local formation of a net community. The detailed analyses draw on recordings of approximately 30 hours of chat room talk.

    The data document a rich use of invented spelling and various other hybrid forms, related to leet speak (e.g. switches between lower and upper case letters or numbers, as well as other types of creative spelling). Novel varieties of text compressions are other features of leet speak. But above all, code switching, as well as reduplications and capital letters are deployed as ways of accentuating (Bakhtin, 1981; Stanislavskij, 1986) various stances in conversations, for instance, when making assessments about style or performance or when commenting on technical issues (e.g. NEWbies’ for newcomers or inexperienced participants; ‘lagggggggggggggg’ for time 'lag'). 

    The analyses focus on verbal artistry (Bauman & Briggs, 1990)and community building, and especially the ways that leet speak and other hybrid language varieties (e.g. crossings, Rampton, 1999; 2009) are deployed as ways of forming local alignments and disalignments. The chat room conversations show that the participants position themselves as central participants through this type of everyday poetics. This can be seen in ongoing conversations, as well as when participants enter or leave the forum. Greetings and leave takings are extended affairs where the participants revel in embellishing their language through novel varieties of crossings, code switches, creative spelling (e.g. ‘heiiii’ instead of Swedish ‘hej’ for ‘hi’) and other hybrid language forms.

    The hybrid constructions and verbal artistry can be seen as instances of creative improvisations (Duranti & Black, 2012) where participants align and disalign with each other through various accentuations of talk.

    Sysselsättning och social rättvisa: En nationell registerstudie om 12 269 unga vuxna med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning2016Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Kunskapen om övergången mellan gymnasiesärskola och arbetsliv för unga vuxna med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning är begränsad. Varken välfärds- eller forskarsamhället har kunskap om vilken typ av sysselsättning som före detta elever i den svenska gymnasieskolan har efter skoltiden.

    Huvudsyftet med denna sammanläggningsavhandling är tredelat: att (a) öka kunskapen om vilka typer av sysselsättning som personer med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning har efter avslutad gymnasiesärskola, att (b) åskådliggöra mönster och faktorer (kön, förfluten tid sedan examen, utbildningsprogram, boendekommun samt föräldrarnas födelseland och utbildningsnivå) som kan bidra till skillnader vad gäller typ av sysselsättning, samt att (c) skapa ett nationellt register som möjliggör kvantitativa analyser, longitudinella studier och utgör underlag för kvalitativa fördjupande studier av efter(sär)gymnasial sysselsättning. Avhandlingen innehåller fyra artiklar och en ramberättelse.

    Ett nationellt register, Halmstad University Register on Pupils with Intellectual Disability (HURPID) skapades utifrån information i slutbetygen från 12 269 tidigare elever i gymnasiesärskolan. Slutbetyg är allmänna handlingar som begärdes från kommunerna. HURPID samkördes med två nationella register: Longitudinell Integrationsdatabas för Sjukförsäkrings- och Arbetsmarknadsstudier (LISA) och LSS-registret som innehåller information om insatser som beviljats enligt lag (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade. Avhandlingen bygger på tvärsnittsstudier vilka ger en ögonblicksbild av den efter(sär)gymnasiala sysselsättningen under 2011 bland de personer som gått ut mellan 2001-2011. Frekvensanalyser användes för att beskriva studiepopulationens karaktäristika. Korstabeller och Pearson´s chi2-test användes för att analysera skillnader avseende typ av sysselsättning mellan olika grupper i studiepopulationen. Sambandet mellan avhandlingens beroende och oberoende variabler undersöktes med bivariata och multivariata logistiska regressionsanalyser.

    Analyserna visar att den största andelen (47%) av de unga har sin sysselsättning inom daglig verksamhet, 22,4% har ett förvärvsarbete, de flesta med någon form av lönesubvention; och 6,6% studerar. En betydande andel (24%) betecknas vara "någon annanstans" (inte i någon av de andra tre sysselsättningstyperna). Andelen unga vuxna i daglig verksamhet är lägre än förväntat och andelen som har ett förvärvsarbete är högre än förväntat. En oväntat stor andel tillhör kategorin "någon annanstans" och har inte daglig verksamhet, inte ett förvärvsarabete och studerar inte.

    Kön, typ av utbildningsprogram, hur lång tid som förflutit sedan examen, boendekommun och föräldrarnas utbildningsnivå samt geografiska härkomst är alla faktorer som påverkar vilken typ av sysselsättning som unga vuxna med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning har. Män som har gått ett nationellt program i gymnasiesärskolan och som tog examen mellan 2001-2006 är de som har störst sannolikhet för att ha ett förvärvsarbete. Personernas boendekommun har en viss oberoende effekt på typ av efter(sär)gymnasial sysselsättning och den totalt sett låga andelen flyttar i populationen antas förstärka betydelsen av vilken kommun de bor i. Unga vars föräldrar är lågutbildade har mer sannolikt ett förvärvsarbete eller tillhör kategorin "någon annanstans". De vars föräldrar är högutbildade har mer sannolikt en sysselsättning inom daglig verksamhet eller studerar (exempelvis på Komvux eller folkhögskola). De unga vars föräldrar är födda i ett utom-europeiskt land är med större sannolikhet studerande eller personer som tillhör kategorin "någon annanstans".

    Avhandlingens huvudresultat diskuteras i förhållande till ett teoretiskt ramverk om social rättvisa. Betydelsen av samhällets ansvar att främja alla medborgares möjlighet att vara och göra vad de har anledning att värdesätta betonas. Ett samhälle som främjar social rättvisa måste stödja människors möjligheter att oavsett funktionsförmåga kunna välja sysselsättning. Såväl den offentliga som den privata sektorn behöver tydligare betrakta personer med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning som en viktig resurs i samhället och på arbetsmarknaden; se dem som personer med förmågor som riskerar att döljas bakom kategorier, fördomar och föråldrade strukturer.

    ILLUSIONEN OM DET VÄPNADE ANGREPPET2020Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The Defence Commission has proposed that the Swedish Armed Forces once again will be assigned the main task of defending Sweden against an armed attack. Defence against an armed attack has gained more focus since the defence decision 2015 and prior to the upcoming defence decision it is even more emphasized. Are the politics and the Swedish Armed Forces in agreement regarding the meaning and implications of this on basis of contemporary threats?

    The overall aim of the study is to understand the interaction between politics and the Swedish Armed Forces in the designing and shaping of the Swedish Armed Forces. This study has a starting point in the prelude to the planned political defence decision 2020 and aims to understand some of this major context. It is focusing on identifying the coherence between the Defence Committee and the Swedish Armed Forces’ military strategic leadership in terms of the meaning of an armed attack being the primary basis of designing and shaping the Swedish Armed Forces. In addition, important factors that have an impact on the interaction between politics and the Swedish Armed Forces are identified.

    The empiricism is taken from international law, the military strategic doctrine of the Swedish Armed Forces, reports from the Defence Commission and interviews with members of the Defence Committee and the military strategic leadership of the Swedish Armed Forces.

    The results show that there is lack of coherence within the Defence Committee as well as between the Defence Committee and the Swedish Armed Forces regarding the meaning of the proposed main task to the Swedish Armed Forces and how it should relate to other tasks. There is an illusion regarding the definition of an armed attack. In reality it is the government that, under constitutional responsibility, defines an armed attack when there is an act of aggression. In addition, it is identified that it is suitable to mutually improve trust between politics and the Swedish Armed Forces by increasing knowledge of each other's realities.

    Jag visste inte det. Att tjejer kan leka med killgrejer.: Barnboken - ett pedagogiskt redskap i arbete med jämlikhet2011Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Syftet med studien var att belysa barnboken som ett pedagogiskt redskap i ett jämlikhetsarbete på en förskola. Inför studien läste vi in oss på tidigare forskning kring barnböcker i förskolan samt studier kring förskolors jämställdhetsarbete, som är en del av ett jämlikhetsarbete. För att uppnå syftet lästes tre olika barnböcker för en grupp femåriga barn, barnen intervjuades sedan både enskilt och i grupp kring barnböckerna och de teman de tog upp. Vi fann att barnen fångades av barnböckerna och gärna ville skapa sig förståelse kring både bokens handling och dess karaktärer, vilket ledde till samtal mellan barn och barn, men även mellan barn och pedagog. En slutsats från studien visar att barnen ofta relaterade barnböckerna till sina egna erfarenheter. Studien ger en inblick i hur barnen samtalade under boksamtalen, samt hur variationer i typer av uppfattningar visade sig i intervjuerna. Ett resultat som framkom visar att barnen i de flesta fall följer traditionella könroller och könsmönster, barn förhåller sig till det de upplever förväntas av dem, men det fanns även tillfällen där barnen inte gjorde åtskillnad mellan flickor och pojkar. En slutsats som dragits av studien är att det krävs ett medvetet arbetssätt från pedagogens sida för att ta tillvara på boken som ett pedagogiskt redskap. Det går inte endast att läsa en barnbok och ta för givet att barnen upplever det pedagogen hade i åtanke, utan pedagogen bör ställa frågor och skapa samtal där barnen är medskapare och där deras tankar är av intresse. I boksamtal kan barn ges utrymme att dela sina tankar och få möjlighet att göra sig hörda.

    Multiple roles on a simple screen: An explorative study of human interplay in real time chat2005In: A Nordic Dimension in Education and Research, Myth or Reality?, 2005, p. 64-64Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The present study investigates human interaction in a virtual environment, with focus on what roles the participants in the chat room takes (or gets), and the importance of the presentations of these roles when entering the chat room in order to gain contact with others. The mediaethnographic study was conducted throughout a period of seven weeks in 2002; hence the study is to be regarded as a pilot study.

    The aim of this paper is, by looking at various roles used in the chat room sphere and the presentations of these roles, to enlighten the chat room as an arena of human interplay and to create an understanding for the specific forms of interaction that takes place within its frames. The interplay in the chat room was analyzed from an interactional theoretical base, such as Meads concept of role, Cooley’s metaphor of the looking-glass self and Goffman’s metaphor of front- and backstage. The study was conducted through three steps: participatory observations by being present in the chat room, online; interviews with participants, on line; capturing real time (i.e. emoticons, turn takings, time spans, etc) on DV-film. Data was collected by using DVcamera to film the chat room and in that capture the on-line interviews and observations which were made. Primary results of the study were: identification of five different “role-characters” based on their behaviour in the chat room, and the parallel use of multiple roles in different chat rooms simultaneously

    Identitet och genus i lek med dockor och figurer i förskolan2006In: Nordisk Pedagogik, ISSN 0901-8050, E-ISSN 1504-2995, Vol. 26, no 2, p. 124-138Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this text is to introduce perspectives, questions and empirical examples regarding children's identity construction in play with dolls and figures that represent women and men in both gender-typed and non gender-typed ways. Videotaped play of two 4-year old boys and three 5-year-old girls in a preschool setting is analyzed from complementary interactionistic and socio-cultural perspectives. The level of plasticity in the toyplay is interpreted. The results suggest ways in wich the gender-plastic character of toy play can be founded in children's intentions as well as in the toys' character as mediating tools. The analysis is based on whether children play with, through, in or beside their toy gestalts. These and other similar distinctions help to differentiate identity consequences in play.

    Integrerad lärstrategi genom kompetensutbyte?: En kvalitativ studie om tjänstemäns och chefers perspektiv på värdering och motivation samt behov och möjligheter kring kompetensutveckling på ett medelstort företag2020Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of the study has been to investigate and gain an understanding of how officials at a medium-sized company value and motivate their skills development. We also wanted to investigate, based on the managers' reflections, on the company's needs and what opportunities development of skills can mean for the individual and the organization.

    The method that has been chosen is a qualitative method and the empirical material was obtained through semi-structured interviews. Eight respondents, two managers and six officials participated in the study. The study's results were analyzed using previous research and theoretical frameworks that were considered relevant to the study.

    The results showed that the respondents were positive about competence development. What also emerged, was that the respondents valued most in the area, was the exchange of skills that took place between the company's employees when developing skills. Based on the results, it has emerged that the exchange of skills in the organization, has been what has given the employees the most value in competence development. Further investment in the area has been able to lead to an increased exchange of skills within the business.

    Peace in Cyberspace Will Not Take Place2016Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The ongoing debate whether cyberwar exists or not is odd and to large extent based on an Industrial age view of the definition of war. The ongoing digital revolution ends the industrial age and it was in the context of the industrial age that the Clausewitzian theories of war were defined. The industrial age was built upon machines and physical objects, and the theories of war in this era were also based on these elements. However, when the importance of physical values is vanishing and replaced by other values, as information and knowledge, the fundamental elements of war in the industrial age becomes week. An extension of the theories of war in the information age is that destruction of digital assets is representing the same element of violence, if it potentially cripples an enemy to defeat. When a society’s valuable assets are in the digital form and not necessarily even present within the geographical area of a sovereign state one maybe have to reconsider the understanding of war. This paper explores the discourse framing war in the information age, and conducts a discussion on how to define peace and war in cyberspace, especially in the context of digital violence.

    Aspects of consideration in product development research2007In: Journal of engineering design (Print), ISSN 0954-4828, E-ISSN 1466-1837, Vol. 18, no 3, p. 195-207Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    One reason for conducting research on product development processes is to improve the usability in methods and tools for companies to be more competitive and efficient. However, the transfer of research findings over to industry has been shown to be slow and incremental, which could be seen as a result of bad usability and/or low acceptability in research findings from studies on industrial product development processes.

    According to our research and practice experience, we have found that, to grasp what really happens on a daily basis in a development project, to get the opportunity to reflect upon it, and to understand the complex nature of a development process, it is necessary to conduct insider action research (IAR), which is a qualitative approach. So far, the traditional outsider perspective using a quantitative research approach has been dominant. Conducting IAR means that the researcher is present and intervenes most of the time in a development project either as project leader, team member or observer.

    To improve the opportunities for implementation of research findings (which is an important issue for society as a whole) and to guarantee trust in presented research findings, IAR has proved to be efficient in the studied projects. As the research situation becomes unique for each product development process, trust in the research findings is strongly related to the presence of the researcher in the development process. Reliability and credibility in terms of provable data can be filed in diaries, email communications, and so on, and saved to be available if required.

    Föräldrars påverkan i utvecklingen av övervikt och fetma hos barn2011Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Overweight and obesity in children are serious conditions, with many negative consequences to the health of individuals and the health care system as a whole. The prevalence is particularly great in certain groups of people and the frequency of these conditions is increasing at an alarming rate. Parents, as the primary caregivers, play a vital role in determining whether or not their children lead a healthy lifestyle. The aim of this literature review was to establish the influence that parents have on the development of overweight and obesity in their children. 19 articles were systematically reviewed and the results showed three main areas of influence; socio-economic factors, factors within the family and the role of the parent. In each of these areas, risk factors of developing overweight and obesity in children were identified. In general, parents lack information about these conditions and are in need of support from nurses and other health care professionals, who in turn carry the responsibility to support the parents, promote good health and prevent disease.

    Designerly Processes with Robots as a Framework for Children’s Perspective-Taking2023In: Design, Learning, and Innovation: 7th EAI International Conference, DLI 2022, Faro, Portugal, November 21–22, 2022, Proceedings / [ed] Eva Brooks; Jeanette Sjöberg; Anders Kalsgaard Møller; Emma Edstrand, Cham: Springer, 2023, p. 113-131Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The use of robotics technology in school is renowned for providing children with opportunities to interact and collaborate in various school subjects, which raise questions of how to design learning activities that include robot technology in education. In this paper we explore how a designerly approach can foster children’s perspective-taking while creatively collaborating in mixed analogue and digital learning environments including robots, creative material and classical fairytales. Based on a social semiotics analytical framework, the study draws from workshops carried out with third grade classes of Danish school children, aged 9–10 years old. Using video recordings and a thematic analysis, the unit of analysis focuses on the activities with a special interest on children’s interactions with robots, creative materials, classical fairytales and with each other. The results of this study imply that by using a designerly approach with robotics in programming activities, conditions were created for children to engage in interactions and reasoning with each other, where the mixed learning environment reinforced children’s abilities of perspective-taking. © 2023, ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.

    Pedagogical Integration of Digital Game-based Learning - Processes Involved2022In: Design, Learning and Innovation: 6th EAI International Conference 2021, Virtual Event, December 10-11, 2021, Proceedings / [ed] Eva Brooks; Jeanette Sjöberg; Anders Kalsgaard Møller, Cham: Springer, 2022, p. 195-212Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Aligned with the digital development in society, the use of digital game-based learning (DGBL) as a pedagogical enhancement has increased markedly in schools recently. However, due to various reasons, teachers are not always as enthusiastic to adopt the new technology in their classroom. In this paper we apply Engeströms activity system as an analytical approach to understand teachers’ considerations of opportunities, resistance or barriers and pedagogical functions of digital game-based learning as a teaching method. As related research has shown, there is a lack of research answering the question of how DGBL could be designed to structure and facilitate learning as well as of considering the classroom settings and barriers of implementing DGBL. We attempt to contribute to these problems by applying the activity system framework in the context of digital game-based learning (DGBL), in particular the interplay between resistance as an obstruction or opportunity and design of teaching activities by means of digital games. The research questions posed in the study are: 1) How do teachers evaluate the designs of digital games in relation to how they support or hinder learning? and 2) What kind of constraints do teachers identify while translating educational games? The study applies a qualitative approach and includes cases of two separate workshops with a total of twelve participating teachers and one toy- and game designer. The workshops were designed to provide a framework for preschool- and primary school teachers to evaluate challenges and potentials of DGBL. Findings show, among other things, that when a game does not offer exploration or encourage curiosity, a game’s design becomes simplistic and children lose their interest, revealing a gap between game mechanics and a game’s pedagogical relevance and usefulness. Furthermore, by starting to question the relevance of games, the teachers were able to appropriate digital educational games while assessing the game’s value in relation to a subject-specific area.

    Navigating the Current “New World” of Teaching with Technology: A Glimpse into Our Teachers’ Minds2023In: Design, Learning, and Innovation: 7th EAI International Conference, DLI 2022, Faro, Portugal, November 21–22, 2022, Proceedings / [ed] Eva Brooks; Jeanette Sjöberg; Anders Kalsgaard Møller; Emma Edstrand, Cham: Springer, 2023, p. 135-152Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The COVID-19 pandemic helped spark a surge in innovative usages of technology in education, from robot-based remote graduation ceremonies to immersive learning through extended reality, meetings in fantastical game worlds, automatic examination methods, and flexible learning options such as hybrid classes. It’s been said that we can’t go back to “normal” because this is normal now–but what exactly is today’s “new normal”? The current paper reports on the results of an anonymous online survey conducted with 42 teachers in business, IT, nursing, and education at our university in October 2021, to gain insight into where some teachers on the “front lines” currently stand on the use of technology in education. Some insights included that: More teachers than we had expected were using robotics and extended reality (XR), suggesting that silo effects can exist in education, even at small universities; furthermore, the rates of teachers who had seen such usage seemed close to the rates of teachers who had tried using them, suggesting the usefulness of raising awareness to promote professional digital competence (PDC). Rates for using games and exam tools were lower than expected, despite the availability of game platforms and a growing need to consider the threat of how technology can be misused to cheat in exams, possibly due to teachers’ limited time for pedagogical development. Also, teachers appeared to have strong and differing opinions about learning formats, although a general preference was observed for physical classes and exams, and hybrid teacher meetings. Our aim is that these results will be used by our university’s pedagogical center to support our teachers’ PDC and uses of edtech in the near future. © 2023, ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.

    Det ingår i jobbet: En kvalitativ studie om hot och våld i klientrelationer på Migrationsverket2014Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Working with vulnerable people in a government controlled authority may for most people seem harmless - but is it really? Previous research has shown that there is large hidden statistics when it comes to client-related threats and violence and that the incidents are not taken seriously enough. The purpose of this paper is to gain a greater understanding of what the increased threats and violence towards officials in a government controlled authority can lead to. We want to shed visibility over the attributes in the client relationship that leads to threats and violence against the government officials. The theoretical framework used in the paper is street-level bureaucracy, power, and client relationships. We have performed six semi-structured interviews with officials from the Swedish Migration board, which have shown that threats and violence towards government officials occur to a greater extent than it is shown and reported on. The results showed that the hidden statistics is large in incident reporting and that there is a "it comes with the territory" mentality among officials. The distribution of power has a major role in client relationships and is a contributing factor to incidents occurring. Furthermore, it turns out that negative decisions are the ones that tend to trigger threats or violence from the client and that it is rarely reported unless the client resorts to physical violence. Finally, the paper shows that prevention work must be done on a larger scale.

    Mötet mellan armé och cyber: Hur kan cyberförmågan och armén tillsammans bidra till att höja tröskeleffekten?2023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Deterrence is one part of the Swedish Armed Forces vision and encapsulates the efforts the Swedish Armed Forces does in cooperation with the civil defense and the community to prevent an adversary to take military action against Sweden.

    The cyber domain is emerging and should now be seen as a part of the operational environment where military activities are ongoing. The cyber domain consists of technical equipment, people and code and affects the other domains today and probably even more in the future.This thesis tries to answer the question of how the cyber domain and the army together can enhance the deterrence of the Swedish Armed Forces. There are two parts when talking about the cyber domain and deterrence. On one hand you can look at the cyber domain as a weapon that you might be able to combine with a ground operation and in that way cause a dilemma and a system collapse for the enemy. On the other hand you can look at it like a reinforcer for protection and defense measures for the digitalized parts of the army that need protection from logical attacks.

    The conclusion is that the cyber domain foremost can contribute to enhance the deterrence together with the army by protecting and defending the technical systems that are needed for the army to command its own units and coordinate itself within the brigades. The cyber domain can eventually also be an attacking component within a multi domain campaign most likely embedded with an electronic warfare component.

    Veterinärers arbete: En studie om etik, ansvar och känslor2011Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    In the modern society family pets are more and more considered as members of the family with valid feelings. This has resulted in higher demands on the veterinary occupation. The vet is expected to look upon their animal patients from the owners’ point of view. The purpose of this thesis is to increase the knowledge of the work situation for Swedish veterinarians and the problems they encounter in the triad relation, veterinarian – animal – owner. The authors have used a qualitative method and hermeneutic approach to achieve this knowledge. The reason for choosing the subject of emotional labour within the veterinary trade was that there weren’t too many Nordic articles about it. The result shows that Swedish veterinarians don’t get any guidance or education in the emotional labour that is required in the social interaction with pet owners. Seven semi structured deep interviews have been conducted with veterinarians from animal hospitals and private practitioners. The authors have come to the conclusion that the working conditions for Swedish veterinarians are complicated as each consultation involves emotional labour as well as a medical labour. Apart from that they have to compromise with Swedish animal law and their own ethical conviction.

    Samverkan för ökad cyberförmåga: En studie avseende samverkan och ansvarsfördelning mellan fyra myndigheter med särskilt ansvar inom cyberområdet2021Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Sverige är ett land som ligger i framkant vad gäller digitalisering av samhället. Denna digitalisering gör att vi blir allt mer globaliserade och tekniken öppnar även för nya möjligheter och lösningar i vårt samhälle. Denna teknikutveckling och digitalisering har dock en baksida, nämligen möjligheter för en antagonistisk aktör att utnyttja de sårbarheter som digitaliseringen för med sig. Inom cyberområdet sker en snabb förmåge- och teknikutveckling och sätten för en sådan antagonistisk aktör att angripa sårbarheter i det svenska samhället ökar. Detta tillsammans med den försämrade omvärldsutvecklingen gör att svenska myndigheter behöver hitta sätt att möta och omhänderta dessa hot och sårbarheter och ett sätt att göra det på, är genom att samordna sina resurser genom interorganisatorisk samverkan. 

    I denna studie utforskas hur ansvarsfördelning och samverkan ser ut och genomförs mellan fyra myndigheter som av regeringen fått i uppdrag att bilda ett nationellt cybersäkerhetscenter: Försvarets radioanstalt (FRA), Försvarsmakten (FM), Myndigheten för samhällsskydd- och beredskap (MSB) samt Säkerhetspolisen (SÄPO). Syftet med studien är att utforska hur regeringen styr och reglerar cyberområdet samt utforska hur dessa regleringar och styrningar uppfattas och tolkas av de fyra myndigheterna. 

    Studiens resultat baseras dels på en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av öppna officiella dokument såsom utredningar, förordningar, regeringsbeslut samt rapporter som reglerar eller på annat sätt avhandlar samverkan och ansvarsfördelning mellan ansvariga myndigheter inom cyberområdet. 

    Dessutom har semistrukturerade intervjuer med informanter från FM, FRA och MSB genomförts. Intervjuerna inkluderade informanter från högsta ledningsnivån ned till genomförande enheter samt högre tjänstemän på ovan nämnda myndigheter. 

    Studien visar på de utmaningar som finns på cyberområdet avseende ansvarsfördelning och myndighetssamverkan och i studien belyses särskilt det faktum att cyber är ett tvärsektoriellt område som saknar en utsedd sektorsansvarig myndighet och där ansvaret istället åligger ett stort antal myndigheter. Det delade ansvaret bidrar till att cyberområdet blir både komplext och svåröverblickbart vilket denna studie kommer att visa på genom ett antal olika observationer. 

    Denna studie menar att styrningen från regeringen till del uppfattas som otydlig av mottagande myndigheter, vilket resulterar i en upplevd osäkerhet avseende egen myndighets ansvar och uppgifter samt en otydlighet i vilken myndighet som har ansvar för vad inom cyberområdet. Denna osäkerhet bidrar i sin tur till en försämrad samverkan mellan myndigheterna vilket leder till ett mindre effektivt och mindre samordnat arbete på cyberområdet. Studien analyserar relationen mellan samverkan och ansvar och ger förslag på ett antal åtgärder för att komma till rätta med några av de utmaningar som finns och där ett nationellt cybersäkerhetscenter är del av men inte hela lösningen. Studien avslutas med att ge förslag på vidare forskning avseende cyberområdet.

    Spädbarns föräldras jakt på sömnen: En analys av tre texter som avhandlar sömnmetoder för spädbarn2017Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Föreliggande studien inriktar sig på tre texter som avhandlar sömnmetoder för spädbarn. Det finns idag i de västerländska kulturerna ett flertal olika sömnmetoder för småbarnsföräldrar att tillämpa på sina spädbarn som anses ha sömnproblem. Fenomenet är av vikt att studera då forskningen kring ämnet pekar åt olika håll samtidigt som definitionen på sömnproblem hos spädbarn är diffus.

    Syfte: Syftet med studien är ur ett hälsopedagogiskt perspektiv belysa och jämföra tre texter som avhandlar sömnmetoder för spädbarn.

    Frågeställningar: Vilka pedagogiska idéer framställs till föräldrar i de olika texterna? Vilka hälsorisker framställs till föräldrarna i texterna? Vilken syn på föräldraskap framställs i texterna? Vilken kunskapsgrund bygger de olika sömnmetoder på?

    Metod: För att kunna svara på syftet med studien har en konventionell kvalitativ innehållsanalys används med en abduktiv ansats. Urvalet av texter har gjorts genom barnläkarförbundets beskrivning av sömnmetoder. Utifrån analysen framställdes fem kategorier för att svara på syfte och frågeställning. Kategorierna som framställdes var: 1) Tillrättavisande av misslyckat föräldraskap2)Råd till lyckat föräldraskap3)Tillämpning av sömnmetoder 4)Sociala, psykiska och fysiska hälsorisker 5) Legitimering av sömnmetod.

    Teori: Studiens teoretiska utgångspunkt tar avstamp i Anthony Giddens teori om moderniteten, där nyckel begreppen expertsystem, tillit och risk används.

    Resultat: Resultatet påvisar att två av texterna anklagar föräldrarna för sitt spädbarns sömnproblem samt tillrättavisar föräldrarna i hur de istället ska gå tillväga. Den tredje texten framställer istället råd i hur föräldrar kan handskas med sitt spädbarns sömn. Det framkommer både skillnader och likheter i de tre sömnmetodernas genomförande. Antingen rekommenderades föräldrarna att lära sitt spädbarn själv-trösta eller införa läggningsrutiner med miljöförbättringar innan sänggående. I resultatet framgick även att två av texterna framställde hälsorisker med att inte lära sitt spädbarn sova på natten. Slutligen framgick att de olika författarna grundar sin sömnmetod på antingen egna erfarenheter, en vetenskaplig studie eller vårdens rekommendationer. De olika texterna håller inte med varandra och kritiserar varandras sömnmetoder.

    Drömmen om det perfekta vapnet: – en studie i brukarförväntningar2021Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Sweden’s Defence Forces are in the process of procuring a new personal firearm to replace the current Ak5 (a version of the FN FNC) which has been in service for almost 35 years. There are many opinions on this matter and a great deal of interest among the future users, ie the soldiers and officers. 

    Our study aims to develop a deeper understanding of the user expectations for this new weapon. We are using a qualitative, inductive method with semi-structured interviews and netnography.von Hippel’s lead user concept has been the main reference for the design of this thesis, which means that we have interviewed those users who are perceived to have more to gain from a product development than other users. A lead user is often knowledgeable in his or her topic, might be leading development within the topic and it is not unusual for the lead user to have a social standing permitting him or her to influence others regarding the topic. We have also used internet forums discussing firearms to broaden the study since we know that a lot of the current discussions are occurring online and we expect this trend to continue in the near future. On top of the characteristics users want in a new weapon, some other aspects have come to light during the course of our research, these are also discussed in the thesis.

    Why is there an unproportionate amount of time spent on discussing firearms? Is there a greater value to a personal firearm than just its function? What role should the user perspective play in the Swedish Armed Forces? What are the consequences of the users being dissatisfied with the product? What is the role of the assault rifle in the Swedish Defence Forces and what specific purpose is it meant to fill? Is it possible to fit all purposes with one single weapon, which has been the role of the Ak5 for long periods of time. How should the Swedish Defence Forces respond to the fact that heavy body armour is issued to Russian troops? The Swedish Armed Forces has made an attempt at involving the user perspective in the process but our study should be seen as an important complement to this effort.

    Rättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättning: En komparativ studie av Sveriges och Ungerns implementeringsstrategier för FN-konventionen med särskilt fokus på hälsa2016Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Abstract

    The main purpose of this essay is to compare Sweden and Hungary’s implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).  The study focuses on the countries´ perception of disability and how these perceptions are shown through implementation of CRPD. The essential subject throughout the essay is questions about disability, and how these questions have been interpreted in various health-related fields in both Sweden and Hungary. 

         In general, significance is attached to the construction of the concept of disability and how these concepts are applied to the implementation work of Sweden and Hungary.  Furthermore, similarities and differences between the countries are analyzed through Constructivism. The method of this essay is comparative, and the research questions, connected to the purpose of this essay, are important tools to analyze the data as they constitute the ground for the research. As a result, the method is used to draw attention to each country’s strategy to implement the CRPD. To sum up, the comparative analysis of this essay shows that there were patterns in both Sweden and Hungary that indicated that there were more similarities than differences between the countries on how they approached the Convention regarding disability issues.

    Community Interpreter Training in Spoken Languages in Sweden2012In: International Journal of Interpreter Education, E-ISSN 2150-5772, Vol. 4, no 2, p. 24-38Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this article is to analyze the community interpreter training program in Sweden and, based on the results of two research projects, describe structural conditions and shortcomings. The authors discuss Sweden’s laws and regulations, the changing demand for interpreting service in society, the open access ideology within adult education associations, and the limitation of economic resources for fulfilling the demand for trained interpreters. Interpreter training in Sweden is built on public-service needs in the areas of social insurance, the labor market, health care, and court interpreting. It is focused on factual knowledge and terminology and devotes little time for developing aspects of ethical rules, the role of the interpreter, and technical issues. In order to make progress possible it is important to use existing research and theory to develop didactics for community interpreting training. © The authors and CIT

    Från Kunskap till Styrka: Professionsutvecklingen av yngre officerare i armén2020Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The education and training of military officers is and has always been a disputed subject. Since the reform of the Swedish officer’s training and conversion to Officersprogrammet1 (OP) a little over a decade ago – which for the first time granted the new junior officer with an academic degree in War Studies – this issue has been revitalized. The conversion to an academic education provided the Swedish Military Profession with an important missing aspect. But, the general opinion prevailing among the officer corps is that the training is far too generic and that junior officers thus are inept for duty at their home regiments. 

    During the same time frame the Swedish Armed Forces and the Swedish Army has undergone massive changes. Doctrinal realignment from focusing on the threat of a potential invasion towards an agile and highly operational defense force with an international focus was completed; conscription was scrapped and made dormant. Professionalized soldiers and field units became the new reality. But, then again focus shifted. National defense has once again become the priority with a reinstated conscription as well as planned growth for the Swedish Armed Forces as a consequence. 

    This research project examines whether the junior officer during this time frame has been given the right possibilities to carry out the work expected by him or her. By assuming that OP is a new type of education program, with different pros and cons compared to previous educations, this research focuses instead on the integration of junior officers at their home units. Is it really the education that’s failing or are expectations on the new officer in fact improper? Are the junior officers provided the right support to transform knowledge to skills? 

    This thesis indicates that integration of junior officers has been characterized by a lack of structure and systematization during the past decade. Too much focus on short-term objectives and an unintentional suppression of the development of the Military Profession have had negative consequences. The Swedish Army has improved on systematization during recent years but still needs to improve and prioritize the development of the profession. The Swedish Army should create a structured apprenticeship of junior officers by formalizing mentorship and clearly systematize strategic personnel planning. The collective training of officers and the Evolution of the Military Profession should be considered as a whole, it will otherwise risk further negative consequences and planned growth with quality will not be feasible.

    The main insight of this study is that it’s not necessarily the education that is failing but rather how the Regiments within the Swedish Army manages to transform the junior officers’ knowledge to relevant skills or not.

    Success and usage pattern of free-floating car sharing services in cities2018In: Transportation Research Board (TRB) Meeting 2018, 2018Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Free-floating car sharing services (FFCS) have been offered as a more flexible mobility solution than other car sharing services. FFCS users can pick up and return cars anywhere within a specified area in a city.The objective of this paper is to identify similar usage patterns of FFCS in different cities as well as city characteristics that make these services a viable option. The authors have access to real booking data for 32 cities in Europe and North America. Their study shows the share of daily car trips is negatively correlated to the utilization rate of these services. Also, the higher the congestion and the harder finding a parking lot, the lower the utilization rate of these services is in the cities. Moreover, our results suggest that FFCS services do not compete with public transport but are rather used in combination to it. These services are mainly used during midday and evening peak and the trips taken by these services are mainly chained trips.The clustering analysis shows that the trips are grouped into two or three clusters in different cities. The majority of clusters are the inner city clusters which contain a significantly higher number of trips than the clusters around other points of interest such as airports. © Conference Compass and Transportation Research Board

    En kvalitativ studie om välbefinnande och lärande i ett empowermentbaserat fysiskt aktivitetsprogram för personer med åldersrelaterad makuladegeneration2022Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Med åldern ökar risken för åldersrelaterad makuladegeneration (AMD), som är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till synnedsättning hos äldre. Individer med AMD är mindre benägna att delta i sociala och fysiska aktiviteter, vilket innebär att risken för psykisk ohälsa ökar och att de kan gå miste om lärande i sociala sammanhang. Fysisk aktivitet kan förebygga utveckling av AMD, men det finns en brist på interventioner som främjar fysisk aktivitet för personer med synnedsättning. Syftet med studien var att utforska vilka innebörder som personer med AMD har givit uttryck för under ett empowermentbaserat fysiskt aktivitetsprogram (EFA). En kvalitativ metod användes i form av deltagande observationer av deltagarna i forskningsprojektet Kan du se framtiden? som pågick två dagar i veckan under sex månader. 11 personer mellan 65 och 95 år med torr AMD deltog i studien. Resultatet visar att deltagarnas välbefinnande kom till uttryck genom upplevelse av trygghet och trivsel samt genom att de gav uttryck för att vara nöjda och glada. Lärande kom till uttryck genom att de utbytte erfarenheter samt genom att de upptäckte resurser för att vara fysiskt aktiva. Utifrån resultatet kan EFA förstås ha varit en resurs för såväl välbefinnande som lärande.
