Ungdomars perspektiv på psykisk ohälsa och första linjens insatser

Bristande kunskap om psykisk ohälsa och behandling har visats hindra unga från att söka hjälp vid psykisk ohälsa. Samtidigt behöver ansvarsområden mellan första linjens instanser förtydligas för att barn och unga som lider av psykisk ohälsa ska veta vart de kan vända sig. Denna studie undersökte ungdomars perspektiv på psykisk ohälsa och första linjens insatser samt hur mående och kunskap var relaterat till vårdsökande. Totalt 266 elever i årskurs nio besvarade en enkät där självskattad kunskap, mående enligt The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, hjälpsökande och barriärer kring att söka stöd kartlades. Resultaten visade att de ungdomar som sökt hjälp hade en signifikant högre grad av kunskap än de som inte sökt hjälp. Det fanns också en signifikant skillnad i kunskap beroende på psykiskt mående där de ungdomar som mådde bäst skattade högst kunskap. Flickor skattade signifikant mer emotionella besvär än pojkar och även fler upplevda barriärer. De barriärer som var vanligast var att inte orka tänka på sina problem och att inte veta vart man ska vända sig för hjälp. Sammantaget visades att självskattad kunskap är en betydande faktor för såväl mående som hjälpsökande. Experimentella studier på kunskapande interventioner lyftes fram som en viktig inriktning för framtida studier

In- och utflyttningen till och från Nautanens gruvsamhälle 1905–1913

In 1902, the company AB Nautanens Kopparfält established its mining operation in Nautanen, located in Gällivare parish, about five kilometers from Koskullskulle. This company would be the starting point for Nautanen's community, which came to grow in a very short time into up to 400 inhabitants. This was a society that, among other things, could offer work opportunities, housing, education for the children, a community center and a doctor´s office. The focus of this thesis will be on the 142 people who had an employment registered on them in the parish registers belonging to Nautanen. Work is usually the driving force for migration processes that take place. Based on pull and push factors, the thesis highlights a migration process with respect to place of departure, age, occupation, relationship status, and the migration structure from Nautanen after the mining operations were shut down. The results of the survey showed that the job opportunities, well-paid work, better housing compared to the close by society Malmberget and an education for the children were a driving force for many choosing to move to Nautanen. Furthermore, the survey shows that a larger number of the new residents came from other places in the close by Gällivare parish and that the emigration distances were significantly longer compared to the moving-in distance.År 1902 etablerade företaget AB Nautanens Kopparfält gruvverksamhet i Nautanen beläget i Gällivare församling, cirka fem kilometer ifrån Koskullskulle. Detta skulle vara startskottet till att ett samhälle, med uppemot 400 invånare, växte fram på väldig kort tid i anslutning till gruvan. Samhället kunde bland annat erbjuda arbetsmöjligheter, bostäder, utbildning till barnen, ett folketshus samt en provinsialläkarmottagning.Undersökningens huvudfokus kommer ligga på de 142 personer som hade ett yrke registrerat på sig i församlingsböckerna som tillhörde Nautanen. Arbete är oftast den drivande kraften till migrationsprocesser. Utifrån pull- och push faktorer belyser undersökningen en migrationsprocess med avseende på avreseort, ålder, yrke, relationsstatus, samt utflyttnings-strukturen från Nautanen efter att gruvverksamheten lagts ned. Resultatet av undersökningen visade att arbetsmöjligheter, väl avlönat arbete, bättre bostäder i jämförelse med närliggande Malmberget och en utbildning till barnen var drivande krafter till att många valde att flytta till Nautanen. Vidare visar undersökningen att en större mängd av inflyttarna kom ifrån andra platser i Gällivare församling samt att utflyttningsdistanserna var betydligt längre i jämförelse med inflyttningsdistansen

The politics of early assessment in mathematics education

International audienceOne of the latest reforms in Sweden in order to increase equity and quality in education is making national assessment compulsory in preschool-class (age 6). The claimed political volition is all students’ best possible mathematical development. In this paper, we examine the preparatory work, the assignment to the National Agency of Education, and the assessment material itself, searching for what meaning is inscribed regarding the student, mathematics and assessment. The results imply that the politics of the assessment might exaggerate a search for flaws and control instead of promoting all students learning and in addition contributing to the schoolification of preschool-class

EUCAST rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (RAST) in blood cultures: Validation in 55 european laboratories

© The Author(s) 2020.Objectives: When bloodstream infections are caused by resistant bacteria, rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (RAST) is important for adjustment of therapy. The EUCAST RAST method, directly from positive blood cultures, was validated in a multi-laboratory study in Europe. Methods: RAST was performed in 40 laboratories in northern Europe (NE) and 15 in southern Europe (SE) from clinical blood cultures positive for Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae. Categorical results at 4, 6 and 8 h of incubation were compared with results for EUCAST standard 16–20 h disc diffusion. The method, preliminary breakpoints and the performance of the laboratories were evaluated. Results: The total number of isolates was 833/318 in NE/SE. The number of zone diameters that could be read (88%, 96% and 99%) and interpreted (70%, 81% and 85%) increased with incubation time (4, 6 and 8 h). The categorical agreement was acceptable, with total error rates in NE/SE of 2.4%/4.9% at 4 h, 1.1%/3.5% at 6 h and 1.1%/3.3% at 8 h. False susceptibility at 4, 6 and 8 h of incubation was below 0.3% and 1.1% in NE and SE, respectively, and the corresponding percentages for false resistance were below 1.9% and 2.8%. After fine-tuning breakpoints, more zones could be interpreted (73%, 89% and 93%), with only marginally affected error rates. Conclusions: The EUCAST RAST method can be implemented in routine laboratories without major investments. It provides reliable antimicrobial susceptibility testing results for relevant bloodstream infection pathogens after 4–6 h of incubation
