Habilitation in focus : A human service organization and its challenges
- 2009
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation explores intervention practices for children and young persons with developmental disabilities. It focuses especially health and medically related services provided by the local children habilitation centres (CHC: s), where everyday services are carried out by interprofessional teams of habilitation specialists.The objective was to critically examine the CHC as a human service organization. How did professionals describe their work and the methods of treatment that they made use of? How could their conceptions be explained ? The purpose was also to explore whether and in what way the recently introduced training method of conductive education (CE) has influenced the habilitation work at the CHC: s.The qualitative study was carried out inspired by a social constructionist perspective of the phenomenon of habilitation. Organizational theory and in particular neo-institutional organizational theory offered an analytical instrument. The empirical material consisted of observations of the ongoing habilitation work: interviews with professionals (25 interviewees); 13 interviews with key informants involved in the discussion about conductive education; observations and interviews with staff and families at training centres for CE. Closely studied, the main tasks of the CHC: s reveal important dilemmas and ambiguities. Three (main) themes have been used to structure the problems:1)Frames of interpretation of the assignment; 2) Issues of influence; 3) Issues of competence and occupational qualification.In CHC: s, the opaque meaning of the habilitation concept can be used to handle the tension between the social and the medical logics and traditions, it can be a tool to claim jurisdiction for the habilitation experts; it can enlarge the areas of discretion for them and strengthen the legitimacy of the organization. When CE is offered as a complement/ alternative to habilitation services, this is an incitement for the habilitation organization to stress the qualities of the habilitation model. Gate-keeping and doing boundary work within the organization and in relation to the outer world are also important issues that are brought up by the interviewees.

"I vårt land finns inte ordet handikapp" : invandrare med barn med funktionshinder berättar
- 2001
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Det övergripande syftet med denna rapport är att öka kunskapen om och förståelsen för funktionshinder och etnicitet i kombination. Projektets empiriska del belyser hur invandrar- och flyktingfamiljer med olika kulturbakgrund som har barn med funk-tionshinder upplever att deras livsvillkor i Sverige gestaltar sig. I rapportens empiriska del har jag gjort 18 intervjuer med föräldrar som samtliga har barn som är inskrivna vid barn och ungdomshabiliteringen i Region Skåne. Familjerna har alla invandrarbakgrund och kommer ursprungligen från tio olika nationer inom och utom Europa. Barnens funktionshinder varierar men de flesta är multi-handikappade. Viktiga frågor i intervjuerna rör migrationsprocessen, familjernas syn på sina bakgrundsförhållanden samt sin etniska och kulturella identitet och synen på hälsa, sjukdom och funktionshinder. Familjernas upplevelse av livet med det funktionshindrade barnet, synen på stöd-insatser kring barnet och deras anpassningsstrategier belyses.

Widespread Pesticide Distribution in the European Atmosphere Questions their Degradability in Air

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Risk assessment of pesticide impacts on remote ecosystems makes use of model-estimated degradation in air. Recent studies suggest these degradation rates to be overestimated, questioning current pesticide regulation. Here, we investigated the concentrations of 76 pesticides in Europe at 29 rural, coastal, mountain, and polar sites during the agricultural application season. Overall, 58 pesticides were observed in the European atmosphere. Low spatial variation of 7 pesticides suggests continental-scale atmospheric dispersal. Based on concentrations in free tropospheric air and at Arctic sites, 22 pesticides were identified to be prone to long-range atmospheric transport, which included 15 substances approved for agricultural use in Europe and 7 banned ones. Comparison between concentrations at remote sites and those found at pesticide source areas suggests long atmospheric lifetimes of atrazine, cyprodinil, spiroxamine, tebuconazole, terbuthylazine, and thiacloprid. In general, our findings suggest that atmospheric transport and persistence of pesticides have been underestimated and that their risk assessment needs to be improved.
