- The productivity of syntactic constructions is often measured by the number of different verbs used in the verb slot, i.e. the type frequency of the construction.This article investigates 17 double-adverbial motion constructions and their occurrence in a large corpus of blogs.The study shows that there is a difference between the constructions in both token and type fre- quency, as well as with regard to the number of rare and non-motion types used in the construc- tions. For instance, a construction such as the [VERB-runt-i] ‘verb-about-in’ occurs with 225 different verbs even though the overall token frequency of the construction is intermediate, while the [VERB-ner-till] ‘verb-down-to’ construction only occurs with 107 verbs, even though the construction itself is more common. This indicates that the former construction appears to be more produc- tive than the latter.The study also shows that the productivity of Swedish motion constructions shows up even more clearly if we apply more refined frequency measurements than only raw type frequency, such as the number of types without a conventionalized motion meaning, as well as the number of con- struction-unique types, i.e. types occurring in only one of the constructions investigated. For instance, non-motion verbs like skoja ‘joke’, and spexa ‘clown about’ are exclusively found in the [VERB-runt-på] construction, while animal verbs like snigla ‘snail’ and älga ‘moose’ are mainly found in the [VERB-iväg-till].

- BACKGROUND: Integrity is a core value for delivering ethical health care. However, there is a lack of precision in defining what integrity is and how nurses understand it. In the setting of nurses caring for critically ill and dying patients in intensive care units (ICUs), integrity has not received much attention. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore how nurses perceive and maintain the integrity of patients during end-of-life care in the ICU setting.METHODS: This study had a qualitative descriptive design. Data were collected using individual semi-structured interviews with 16 intensive care nurses working at ICUs in four Swedish hospitals. The data were analysed by applying qualitative content analysis.RESULTS: Five overall categories were explored: seeing the unique individual; sensitive to patient vulnerability; observant of patients' physical and mental sphere; perceptive of patients' religion and culture; and being respectful during patient encounters. Many nurses found it difficult to define integrity and to explain what respecting integrity entails in the daily care of dying patients. They often used notions associated with respect and patient-centred attitudes, such as listening and being sensitive or by trying to describe good care. Integrity was nonetheless seen as a central value for their clinical work and a precondition for ethical nursing practice. Some nurses were concerned about patient integrity, which is at risk of being "wiped out" due to the patient's illness/injury, unfamiliarity with the ICU environment and utter dependence on others for care. Protecting patients from harm and reducing patient vulnerability were also seen as important and a way to maintain the integrity of patients.CONCLUSIONS: The study results show that even though integrity is a fundamental ethical concept and a core value in nursing, ethical codes and guidelines are not always helpful in clinical situations in the end-of-life care of ICU patients. Hence, opportunities must regularly be made available for ICU nurses to reflect on and discuss ethical issues in terms of their decision-making and behaviour.

- Dignity, usually considered an essential ethical value in healthcare, is a relatively complex, multifaceted concept. However, healthcare professionals often have only a vague idea of what it means to respect dignity when providing care, especially for persons with impaired autonomy. This article focuses on two concepts of dignity, human dignity and dignity of identity, and aims to analyse how these concepts can be applied in the care for persons with impaired autonomy and in furthering the practice of respect and protection from harm. Three vignettes were designed to illustrate typical caring situations involving patients with mild to severely impaired autonomy, including patients with cognitive impairments. In situations like these, there is a risk of the patient's dignity being disrespected and violated. The vignettes were then analysed with respect to the two concepts of dignity to find out whether this approach can illuminate what is at stake in these situations and to provide an understanding of which measures could safeguard the dignity of these patients. The analysis showed that there are profound ethical challenges in the daily care of persons with impaired autonomy. We suggest that these two concepts of human dignity could help guide healthcare professionals to develop practical skills in person-centred, ethically grounded care, where the patient's wishes and needs are the starting point.

Erzählverhalten und narrative Sprechweisen : Narratologische Untersuchung von "Effi Briest" mit Schwerpunkt in den Dialogen
- 2004
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A central theme in this dissertation is the relationship between narrative conduct and narrative modes or ways of speaking. Narrative conduct is defined as either authorial (from the perspective of the narrator) or figural (from the perspective of characters). An investigation of previous narratology research indicates that there has been no systematic description of this relationship between conduct and mode. A model is therefore proposed in which authorial and figural elements of conduct are identified and described as they appear in the following modes: narrator commentary (comment about the story or the telling of the story), narrative (the narrator's telling of the story or bringing the story forward), indirect speech or thought, free indirect speech, direct speech or thought, and interior monologue. Because direct speech or dialogue in narratives has been evaluated differently by narratologists, the emphasis in the present study is on an investigation of the role of dialogue in narrative works.A general analysis of narrative conduct in Theodor Fontane's Effi Briest is carried out by applying the model of narrative modes through which authorial and figural components in the novel are separated from each other. Certain passages of the novel, especially dialogue, are scrutinized using this model. An important finding is the establishing of the existence of different kinds of authorial elements in direct speech. One such element is authorial anticipation of the future, or authorial prolepsis, when this appears as expressed by a character, and the character does not know the future.This investigation of Fontane's novel further indicates that Fontane makes use of a mixture of direct and indirect speech to which the term "hybrid speech" is applied.
