    In this paper, we will examine teacher education in social science. In the Swedish context, teacher education is part of the university system, but teacher education in social science is differently organized than social science education for other students. Teacher education in social science today is also, as a result of the deregulation at all levels of the Swedish educational system in the 1990s, locally designed and there are significant differences between universities. The aim of this paper is twofold. The first aim is to explore the roots of the current situation in the history of teacher education in social science in Sweden from the mid 1900s and into the early 2000s. The other aim is to describe and discuss comparatively how this education is organized at different Swedish universities today. The analysis revolves around questions about disciplinarity, organization and teacher education as a “trading zone” between the traditional academic disciplinary organization of social science and the conceived needs of the school subject Civics

    The importance of structural, situational, and psychological factors for involving hunters in the adaptive flyway management of geese

    Adaptive flyway management of superabundant geese is emerging as a strategy to reduce damage to agricultural crops and other ecosystem disservices, while also ensuring sustainable use and conservation objectives. Given the calls for intensified hunting as part of flyway management in Europe, we need to increase the understanding of structural, situational, and psychological factors important for goose hunting among hunters. Our survey data, retrieved in southern Sweden, showed a higher potential to intensify hunting among goose hunters than other hunters. In response to hypothetical policy instruments (including regulations, collaborative, and others), hunters declared a minor increase in their intention to hunt geese, with the greatest expected increase among goose hunters should the hunting season be extended. Situational factors (e.g., access to hunting grounds) were associated with goose hunting (frequency, bag size, and intention to increase hunting). In addition, controlled motivation (derived from external pressures or to avoid guilt) and more importantly autonomous motivation (due to hunting being enjoyable or valuable) were along with goose hunter identity positively associated with goose hunting. Hunters' involvement in flyway management may be encouraged by using policy instruments to remove situational barriers and facilitate their autonomous motivation

    Multidifferential study of identified charged hadron distributions in ZZ-tagged jets in proton-proton collisions at s=\sqrt{s}=13 TeV

    Full text link
    Jet fragmentation functions are measured for the first time in proton-proton collisions for charged pions, kaons, and protons within jets recoiling against a ZZ boson. The charged-hadron distributions are studied longitudinally and transversely to the jet direction for jets with transverse momentum 20 <pT<100< p_{\textrm{T}} < 100 GeV and in the pseudorapidity range 2.5<η<42.5 < \eta < 4. The data sample was collected with the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.64 fb1^{-1}. Triple differential distributions as a function of the hadron longitudinal momentum fraction, hadron transverse momentum, and jet transverse momentum are also measured for the first time. This helps constrain transverse-momentum-dependent fragmentation functions. Differences in the shapes and magnitudes of the measured distributions for the different hadron species provide insights into the hadronization process for jets predominantly initiated by light quarks.Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2022-013.html (LHCb public pages

    Study of the BΛc+ΛˉcKB^{-} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{\Lambda}_{c}^{-} K^{-} decay

    The decay BΛc+ΛˉcKB^{-} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{\Lambda}_{c}^{-} K^{-} is studied in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of s=13\sqrt{s}=13 TeV using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 fb1\mathrm{fb}^{-1} collected by the LHCb experiment. In the Λc+K\Lambda_{c}^+ K^{-} system, the Ξc(2930)0\Xi_{c}(2930)^{0} state observed at the BaBar and Belle experiments is resolved into two narrower states, Ξc(2923)0\Xi_{c}(2923)^{0} and Ξc(2939)0\Xi_{c}(2939)^{0}, whose masses and widths are measured to be m(Ξc(2923)0)=2924.5±0.4±1.1MeV,m(Ξc(2939)0)=2938.5±0.9±2.3MeV,Γ(Ξc(2923)0)=0004.8±0.9±1.5MeV,Γ(Ξc(2939)0)=0011.0±1.9±7.5MeV, m(\Xi_{c}(2923)^{0}) = 2924.5 \pm 0.4 \pm 1.1 \,\mathrm{MeV}, \\ m(\Xi_{c}(2939)^{0}) = 2938.5 \pm 0.9 \pm 2.3 \,\mathrm{MeV}, \\ \Gamma(\Xi_{c}(2923)^{0}) = \phantom{000}4.8 \pm 0.9 \pm 1.5 \,\mathrm{MeV},\\ \Gamma(\Xi_{c}(2939)^{0}) = \phantom{00}11.0 \pm 1.9 \pm 7.5 \,\mathrm{MeV}, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The results are consistent with a previous LHCb measurement using a prompt Λc+K\Lambda_{c}^{+} K^{-} sample. Evidence of a new Ξc(2880)0\Xi_{c}(2880)^{0} state is found with a local significance of 3.8σ3.8\,\sigma, whose mass and width are measured to be 2881.8±3.1±8.5MeV2881.8 \pm 3.1 \pm 8.5\,\mathrm{MeV} and 12.4±5.3±5.8MeV12.4 \pm 5.3 \pm 5.8 \,\mathrm{MeV}, respectively. In addition, evidence of a new decay mode Ξc(2790)0Λc+K\Xi_{c}(2790)^{0} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} K^{-} is found with a significance of 3.7σ3.7\,\sigma. The relative branching fraction of BΛc+ΛˉcKB^{-} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{\Lambda}_{c}^{-} K^{-} with respect to the BD+DKB^{-} \to D^{+} D^{-} K^{-} decay is measured to be 2.36±0.11±0.22±0.252.36 \pm 0.11 \pm 0.22 \pm 0.25, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third originates from the branching fractions of charm hadron decays.Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2022-028.html (LHCb public pages

    The ratios of branching fractions R(D)B(BˉDτνˉτ)/B(BˉDμνˉμ)\mathcal{R}(D^{*})\equiv\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}\to D^{*}\tau^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\tau})/\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}\to D^{*}\mu^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\mu}) and R(D0)B(BD0τνˉτ)/B(BD0μνˉμ)\mathcal{R}(D^{0})\equiv\mathcal{B}(B^{-}\to D^{0}\tau^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\tau})/\mathcal{B}(B^{-}\to D^{0}\mu^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\mu}) are measured, assuming isospin symmetry, using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to 3.0 fb1{ }^{-1} of integrated luminosity recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The tau lepton is identified in the decay mode τμντνˉμ\tau^{-}\to\mu^{-}\nu_{\tau}\bar{\nu}_{\mu}. The measured values are R(D)=0.281±0.018±0.024\mathcal{R}(D^{*})=0.281\pm0.018\pm0.024 and R(D0)=0.441±0.060±0.066\mathcal{R}(D^{0})=0.441\pm0.060\pm0.066, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The correlation between these measurements is ρ=0.43\rho=-0.43. Results are consistent with the current average of these quantities and are at a combined 1.9 standard deviations from the predictions based on lepton flavor universality in the Standard Model.Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2022-039.html (LHCb public pages

    Russian operational art in the Fifth Century

    Get PDF
    Showing a more strategic inclination in the current decade, Russian operational art has entered a new intellectual phase. A major finding presented in this article is that there is a line of military thought and planning that can be traced back to the first tenure and political leadership of President Putin, as expressed particularly in the 2003 White Paper. In this light, the 2010 Russian military doctrine and related military reform indicates continuity in how the conceptualization of modern warfare impacts operational art in Russia, rather than something new. The applied perspective belongs to the field of war studies and focuses on aspects of fighting power, crucial to which are conceptual, moral, and physical components. It addresses the question about whether or not Russia currently has synchronized its perception of modern warfare with its concept of operational art. An effort is made to trace the contemporary Russian concept of modern war, how its introduction was accelerated by the 2008 Caucasian war and how it has impacted the evolving military discussion about Russian operational art. Last but not least, the article discusses some operational implications for the northern flank of the Western Military District, i.e. the Arctic and the European north.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Kokemuksia tiedonsaannin riittävyydestä omahoidon tueksi – Uniapneaa sairastavien potilaiden näkökulma : Kvantitatiivinen tutkimus terveyden edistämisen näkökulmasta

    Get PDF
    Tämän opinnäytetyön tarkoitus on selvittää uniapneapotilaiden näkokulma tiedonsaannin riittävyydestä julkisessa ja yksityisessä terveydenhuollossa omahoidon tueksi. Kysymyksenasettelu on seuraava: 1) Ovatko potilaat saaneet riittävästi terveystietoa uniapneasta? 2) Ovatko potilaat saaneet riittävästi tietoa uniapnean omahoidosta? 3) Ovatko potilaat kokeneet uniapneahoidon tiedonsaannin riittäväksi seurannassa? 4) Ovatko potilaat kokeneet uniapneaseurantavälin riittävänä omahoidon tukena? Opinnäytetyö on vuosina 2015-2016 tehtyyn kyselyyn perustuva kvantitatiivinen analyysi Hengitysliiton 1096 jäsenen kokemuksista. Teoreettisen viitekehyksen keskeiset piirteet ovat terveyden edistäminen ja uniapnea. Tutkimusaineisto on induktiivisesti analysoitu. Tutkimustulokset koostuvat 9 kysymyksestä, jotka vastaavat kysymyksenasetteluun. Yhteenvetona tutkimuksen tuloksista todetaan, että tiedonsaati ennen diagnoosia on kohtuullisella tasolla, muttei erinomaista. Potilaat kokevat diagnoosin jälkeisen tiedonsaannin riittäväksi painonhallinnan, liikunnan, sekä hoitolaitteiden ja niiden huollon osalta. Enemmän tietoa kaivataan sähköstimulaatiosta. Enemmistö vastaajista kokee seurantakäynnillä saadun tiedon riittäväksi, erityisesti tupakan lopettamisen ja alkoholin käytön osalta. Naiset kaipaavat enemmän tietoa laitehoidon ohjauksesta ja omahoidosta kokonaisuutena, kun miehet taas kaipaavat enemmän tietoa lääkkeistä ja omahoidosta. Enemmistö vastaajista on tyytyväisiä uniapnean seurannan järjestelyyn, kuitenkin sopiva seurantaväli on vastaajien mielestä joko 2 kuukautta tai 12 kuukautta. Uniapnean seuranta toteutuu pääsääntöiseti sairaalan tai terveyskeskuksen uniapneavastaanotolla. Erittäin harvalla potilaalla uniapnean seuranta toteutetaan etäseurannassa. Tutkimus ei vielä kerro kuinka suuri vaikutus tiedonsaannin lisäämisellä on potilaan omahoidon vaikuttajana, mutta se kuvaa potilaiden kokemuksia tiedonsaannin nykytilasta. Tarkoituksena on kiinnittää huomiota uniapneapotilaiden kokemuksiin ja siihen, mi-hin terveystietoa uniapneasta tulisi kanavoida, jotta tiedonsaanti olisi omahoidon tukena mahdollisimman riittävää ja omahoitoa tukevaa.Syftet med detta masterarbete är att bedöma nuläget på patienternas tillgång till tillräcklig information om sömanpné. Masterarbetet fördjupar sig i patienternas perspektiv för att stöda deras egenvård. Arbetets frågeställningar är följande 1) Har patienterna fått tillräckligt med information om sömnapné? 2) Har patienterna fått tillräckligt med information om egenvården av sömnapné? 3) Har patienterna erfarit få tillräckligt med infromation om sömnapné under uppföljning? 4) Har patienterna erfarit uppföljningsintervallet tillräcklig för att stöda sin egenvården av sömnapné? Masterarbetet är en kvantitativ analys baserad på en enkät gjord under år 2015-2016 av Hengitysliitto och Philips ur ett sampel av 1096 svar ifrån Hengitysliittos medlemsregister. Den teoretiska referensramen består av centrala begrepp ur hälsofrämjande och sömnapné. Masterarbetets analys är induktivt. Resultaten består av 9 frågor som svarar på masterarbetets frågeställningar. Resultatens slutsatser visar att nuläget för informationen om sömnapné före diagnos är nöjaktigt men inte utmärkt. Information om sömnapné efter diagnos erfar patienterna få av viktkontroll, motion, vårdap-paratur och dess service. Patienterna önskar få mera information om elektrisk stimulation. Majoriteten av patienterna erfar informationen ifrån uppföljningen av sömnapné tillräcklig. Under uppföljningen erfar män och kvinnor tillsammans få tillräckligt med information om tobak och alkohol. Kvinnorna önskar få mera information om handleding av CPAP- och egenvård som helhet medan män önskar mera information om läkemedel och egenvård. Majoriteten av män och kvinnor är nöjda med hur uppföljningen av sömnapné är verkställd. Som ett tillräckligt uppföljningsintervall erfar patienterna 2 månader eller 12 månader. Uppföljningen av sömnapné sker av majoriteten som mottagning medan endast en liten del av patienterna uppföljs på distans. Undersökningen besvarar inte på hur stor inverkan på tilllägg av information har på patienternas egenvård, men berättar patienternas erfarenheter om informationens nuläge. Syftet är att väcka uppmärksamhet på patienternas erfarenheter om vart patienterna anser behöva mera information som stöd för sin egenvård.The purpose of this masterthesis is to determine the adequate level of accessing information about sleep apnea to support patient’s selfcare. The aim is to focus on the patient point of view. The research questions are 1) Have the patients received adequate health education about sleep apnea? 2) Have the patients received adequate information about the selfcare of sleep apnea? 3) Do the patients have sufficient access to information about sleep apnea during follow-up? 4) Have the patients experienced sufficient monitoring intervall about sleep apnea to support selfcare? This thesis is a quantitative analysis based on a survey analysis completed in 2015-2016. The sample population consists of 1096 participants selected from the member database of the Finnish Breathing Association. The theoretical framework includes central key features of health promotion and sleep apnea. The research material is inductively analyzed. The study results consist of 9 questions that correspond to the set of questions. The results of this research show that the adequacy of access to information about sleep apnea before diagnosis is at a modest level but not yet excellent. Patients experience access to information about sleep apnea as good in the field of weight control, exercise, therapy equipment and their service. The patients lack information about electrical stimulation. The majority of patients experience the access of information about sleep apnea good during follow-up; especially they feel the information is adequate re-garding cessation of smoking and use of alcohol. Women need more information about CPAP-device management and selfcare comprehensively when men at the same time need more information about medication and selfcare. The majority of men and women are satisfied with the arrangement of sleep apnea follow-ups, but report either 2 or 12 months as a suitable follow-up interval. The majority of patients prefer appointments for sleep apnea follow-up instead of remote follow-up. The research does not say whether or how much the increasing of access to information would impact as a patient's selfcare actor. However the research determines the current state of access to information about sleep apnea. The aim is to attract attention to the sleep apnea patient’s experiences and to what kind of health information should be channeled in order to have access to information for supporting selfcare more effectively

    Sweden and Poland Entering the EU : Comparative Patterns of Adaptive Organization and Cognition

    Full text link
    This thesis is a comparative study of how elites in Sweden and Poland approach and make sense of EU membership. It begins with the observation that the public debates in several EU member countries are becoming increasingly politicized around a dichotomy, i.e. enthusiasm and skepticism vis-à-vis European integration. Whereas a lot of research in this field covers the characteristics of the European integration process itself, fewer studies focus upon the cognitive complexity involved in national strategic policy choices. The aim of this thesis is to explore, compare and contrast the organizational and cognitive aspects of how Sweden and Poland entered the EU and thereby to contribute to an understanding of how national policymakers in Europe believe that national and supranational integration can work together. The theoretical point of departure is Stein Rokkan’s model of political integration, which emphasizes the importance of functional and territorial political cleavages in the development of modern European nation states. The model is used to identify political actors and structures that are transnationalizing forces in Europe and to determine in what ways they form a challenge to national governments in the process of adaptation to the EU. Representing different theoretical points of intersection in the Rokkanian model, these challenges are defined as Integration, Trade and Industry, Functional Regionalism and Territorial Regionalism. The empirical analysis builds on these theoretical categories and covers three different areas. First, the ways in which adaptation to the EU was organized by the governments of Sweden (1988-1994) and Poland (1998-2004) are scrutinized. Second, documents concerning the strategic policy deliberation of both organizations are analyzed in the light of Rokkanian integration categories. Third, the results of two sets of research interviews, one in each country, are analyzed. A major conclusion drawn in the study is that Rokkanian integration theory holds the key to an understanding of how national policymakers believe that European integration can be segmented and how supranational integration in the economic sphere can evolve separately from other areas of social and political integration. Although from very different countries and political experiences, elites in Sweden and Poland show remarkable cognitive similarities. Another contribution to a cross-national understanding of adaptation to the EU is the cognitive model, which is developed on the basis of empirical study. The model expands upon and goes beyond the simple dichotomy of Enthusiasts and Skeptics in the discussion about European integration. Two new categories are introduced and defined as Voluntarists and Pragmatists. The argument is that new cognitive categories are necessary to improve the description and analysis of how national policy makers in Europe set up long-term political goals and manage complex issues in the process of European integration
