van de Vate, Marleen Susanne (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 26-May-2011)[+][-]
Abstract: The dissertation aims to establish the hierarchy of functional projections in the IP domain of Saamáka. In order to determine this hierarchy, it is important to study the semantic interpretation and syntactic distribution of each individual tense, aspect and modality morpheme. After which the interaction of these morphemes is studied to determine the exact position in the hierarchy of the individual morphemes. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10037/3310 File(s) in this item: 1

Waale, May-Britt (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 06-Jun-2008)[+][-]
Abstract: The teaching staff of a sixth-form college consists of specialists with many different academic and occupational backgrounds – which form the basis of their teaching. May-Britt Waale’s dissertation is rooted in this fact and focuses on three main themes: Which forms of teaching are found in the classrooms of teachers from four different occupational groups within the Department of Health and Social Sciences of the sixth-form college. What teaching roles can be found amongst these teachers? What characteristics can be found in the constructs of the teachers’ occupational identity? The study is based on classroom research and on collecting stories relating to the careers of a group of general teachers, nursery teachers, nurses and care workers for the mentally-handicapped. The study operates within a framework of symbolic interactionism, with Bernstein’s code theory and Weber’s concept of rationality occupying a core position alongside a socio-cultural approach to interaction and learning. Analysis of the empirical material reveals that various traditional forms of teaching appear still to be widespread and influenced by purpose rationality and actions determined by tradition. However, alternative teaching forms and flexibility of teaching role frequently occur. Within two of the professional groups a distinctive working rationale is apparent, rooted in the underlying profession. This has resulted in a teaching style termed “practice work”: learning in simulated and contextual practice, based on play and work. The concept of providing care is seen to sit deep within several of the teachers, producing various forms of care rationality. Furthermore, within the material six different teacher roles can be identified, between which the teachers move. Of these, “pilot” and “companion” represent the extremes. The “pilot” steers the pupils through familiar and traditional types of teaching, whilst the “companion” participates alongside the pupil in their work. Four different directions become clear in terms of constructs of professional identity: “Dynamic and cemented rooting”, “stigmatisation and lost dignity”, reinforced status and boosted pride” and what in the dissertation is termed “coordination” of the underlying profession, and teaching.

Wang, Catharina Elisabeth (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 13-Oct-2006)[+][-]
Abstract: The overall aim of the present study was to investigate how cognitive processing of emotionally valenced information may be a vulnerability factor to depression, and to develop a cognitive model of recurrent depression. Several more specific aims were formulated and investigated. To reach the aims of the study, an extensive theoretical review of the research literature on cognitive processes of depression was carried out. Also, we compared never depressed (ND; n = 46), previously depressed (PD; n = 42) and clinically depressed (CD; n = 61) individuals on several questionnaires and experimental tasks including dysphoric symptoms (BDI; Beck et al., 1979), dysfunctional attitudes (DAS; Weissman & Beck, 1978), preferences for positive and negative tape-recorded self-statements (Crowson & Cromwell, 1995), choice preference and reaction time to emotionally valenced words (DOAT; Gotlib, McLachlan, & Katz, 1988; Kakolewski, Crowson, Sewell, & Cromwell, 1999; McCabe & Gotlib, 1995), and free recall, recognition and fabrication of positive and negative self-statements (Wang & Holte, 1995). The main results of the study was: (1) the development of a Cognitive battle model to explain mechanisms involved in recurrent depression; (2) results which seem to indicate that dysfunctional attitudes, in mildly to moderately clinically depressed individuals, may have the potential to decrease the effortful processing of positive stimuli; and, (3) results which indicate that decreased approach motivation to positive stimuli may be a vulnerability factor to depression. Future research should be aimed to examine the relationship between parenting (e.g. insecure attachment; inadequate affect regulation), frontal lobe development (i.e., hemispheric asymmetry), cognitive vulnerability factors (e.g. uncertainty; rumination), and decreased approach motivation to positive stimuli.

Zenebe, Mulumebet (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 28-Nov-2006)[+][-]
Abstract: The AIDS epidemic has been recognized as the most pressing national health problem in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Zenebe argues that HIV/AIDS prevention programs in Ethiopia are not producing expected results because they are not based on understanding the distinctive characteristics of the people’s sexual cultures shaped by relations of power, by history, and by differentiated traditions within the particular society. The focus of the thesis is on how dominant medical discourses about prevention and treatment of the HIV/AIDS pandemic intersect with ideas emerging from local traditions, religious norms, as well as notions of sexuality and gender. The study shows that the dominant ‘scientific’ construction of the HIV/AIDS problem is often met with resistance by the women and men that are the target groups for the disease prevention programs. The thesis concludes that HIV/AIDS prevention programs in Ethiopia need to give attention to the phenomenon of sexuality, and the way it is shaped and constrained by factors including the complex and unequal relationships between men and women, rich and poor, and between North and South.

Abstract: Min avhandling beskriver og analyserer hva som skjer i klientsamtaler på sosialkontor, når deltakere med ulik språklig og kulturell bakgrunn møtes og skal samhandle ved hjelp av tolk. Denne problematikken har jeg belyst gjennom analyser av observerte klientsamtaler. Datamaterielt omfatter 10 saker i tre kommuner i Rogaland. I tillegg er det gjennomført oppfølgingssamtaler og fokusgruppestudier. Dessverre viser forskningen at det lett blir misforståelser, og brukeren av sosialtjenesten opplever ofte at han/hun ikke forstår eller blir forstått.
Forskningen viser at den manglende forståelsen gjelder særlig i forhold til innholdet i forskjellige byråkratiske begreper som barnetrygd, barnebidrag mm. Dette kan tyde på at sosialarbeidere ikke tar tilstrekkelig hensyn til at klienten ikke har kunnskap om disse ord og uttrykk. Samtidig viser studien at mange sosialarbeidere mangler kompetanse i forhold til hva som er tolkens ansvar og oppgaver.
Avhandlingen antyder at tolkens rolle bør endres, og dermed også tolkeutdanningen. Tolken er ikke bare en språklig oversetter, men en som bidrar til at det oppnås en ”felles forståelse”. Tolken bør gis mulighet til også å kunne gå inn i rollen som kulturinformant og ikke bare som ren formidler mellom partene. For at profesjonsutøvere skal kunne opptre som kompetente tolkebrukere bør dette komme inn som tema i undervisningen i de ulike utdanningene.URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10037/1229 File(s) in this item: 1
