BİNA TAMAMLAMA SİGORTASI YAPTIRILMAMASININ ÖN ÖDEMELİ KONUT SATIŞ SÖZLEŞMESİNE ETKİSİ
Authors: DOĞAR Mehmet
Published: August 2022

Tüketicinin Korunması Hakkında Kanun (TKHK) 40-46. maddeleri arasında düzenlenmiş olan ön ödemeli konut satışlarındaki en önemli sorun, konutu satan müteahhit veya aracıların onlarca tüketici ile sözleşme yaparak piyasadan yüksek meblağları toplamalarıdır. Tüketicilerin konut sahibi olmak için ödemiş olduğu bu meblağların yine tüketicileri korumak adına güvence altına alınması gerekir. Bilindiği üzere ön ödemeli konut satışlarında tüketici, satış bedelini kısmen de olsa, satın aldığı konutu teslim almadan önce ödemeye başlamaktadır. Satış bedelinin bir kısmını tahsil etmeye başlayan satıcı ise konutu ilerideki bir zamanda teslim etmektedir. Satıcının tahsil ettiği satış bedellerine rağmen inşaata hiç başlamaması (bırakıp kaçması) veya başlamış olduğu inşaatı bazı sebeplerden dolayı (iflas vs.) tamamlayamaması çok sayıda tüketicinin mağduriyetine yol açmaktadır.

İşte bu tür mağduriyetlerin önlenmesi amacıyla kanun koyucu TKHK md. 42/1 ile teminat müessesesini düzenlemiş ve ön ödemeli konut satışlarında bina tamamlama sigortası yaptırılmasını hüküm altına almıştır. Ancak ne yazık ki, uygulamada tüketicilere ön ödemeli konut satışı yapılırken bina tamamlama sigortası veya diğer teminat türlerinden biri sağlanmamaktadır. Esasen büyük meblağlar toplayan konut satıcılarının tüketiciye teminat sağlamaları gerekirken, bu güvenceyi vermek istememelerinin sebebi maliyetlerin artması ve piyasa dinamiklerinin bozulacağı endişesidir. Maalesef tüketiciler de satın alacakları konutlarda teminat şartının yerine getirilip getirilmediğini kontrol etmeden sözleşme imzalamakta ve bu durum yeni mağduriyetleri ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, ön ödemeli konut satışları için teminat türlerinden biri olan bina tamamlama sigortası yaptırılmadan imzalanan ön ödemeli konut satış sözleşmesinin geçerli olup olmadığı tartışılarak, tüketicinin sahip olduğu haklar ele alınacaktır.
Ensayos sobre investigación educativa

Las perspectivas que proceden de la investigación educativa se multiplican junto con el desarrollo de la sociedad contemporánea. Dentro de las ciencias sociales y, en particular, al interior de las intituladas ciencias de la educación, la generación de conocimiento científico en torno a los diversos fenómenos socioeducativos requiere de enfoques, metodologías y técnicas de investigación que se correspondan con el desenvolvimiento vertiginoso de la realidad, de manera tal que los proyectos de investigación capten lo abigarrado y complejo de cada objeto de conocimiento, en tanto este es una parte del acontecer. Es en este marco donde se coloca la obra colectiva Ensayos sobre investigación educativa, bajo la coordinación de Francisco Guzmán Marín y Erik Ávalos Reyes. A palabra expresa, se trata de un trabajo que pretende contribuir a la formación de estudiantes de posgrado, al tiempo que abona a la discusión científico-disciplinaria del fenómeno educativo.

Background: Following a pandemic-driven shift to remote service provision, UK general practices offer telephone, video or online consultation options alongside face-to-face. This study explores practices’ varied experiences over time as they seek to establish remote forms of accessing and delivering care.

Methods: This protocol is for a mixed-methods multi-site case study with co-design and national stakeholder engagement. 11 general practices were selected for diversity in geographical location, size, demographics, ethos, and digital maturity. Each practice has a researcher-in-residence whose role is to become familiar with its context and activity, follow it longitudinally for two years using interviews, public-domain documents and ethnography, and support improvement efforts. Research team members meet regularly to compare and contrast across cases. Practice staff are invited to join online learning events. Patient representatives work locally within their practice patient involvement groups as well as joining an online patient learning set or linking via a non-digital buddy system. NHS Research Ethics Approval has been granted. Governance includes a diverse independent advisory group with lay chair. We also have policy in-reach (national stakeholders sit on our advisory group) and outreach (research team members sit on national policy working groups).

Results (anticipated): We expect to produce rich narratives of contingent change over time, addressing cross-cutting themes including access, triage and capacity; digital and wider inequities; quality and safety of care (e.g. continuity, long-term condition management, timely diagnosis, complex needs); workforce and staff wellbeing (including non-clinical staff, students and trainees); technologies and digital infrastructure; patient perspectives; and sustainability (e.g. carbon footprint).

Conclusion: By using case study methods focusing on depth and detail, we hope to explain why digital solutions that work well in one practice do not work at all in another. We plan to inform policy and service development through inter-sectoral network-building, stakeholder workshops and topic-focused policy briefings.

Background: Accessing and receiving care remotely (by telephone, video or online) became the default option during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, but in-person care has unique benefits in some circumstances. We are studying UK general practices as they try to balance remote and in-person care, with recurrent waves of COVID-19 and various post-pandemic backlogs.

Methods: Mixed-methods (mostly qualitative) case study across 11 general practices. Researchers-in-residence have built relationships with practices and become familiar with their contexts and activities; they are following their progress for two years via staff and patient interviews, documents and ethnography, and supporting improvement efforts through co-design. In this paper, we report baseline data.

Results: Reflecting our maximum-variety sampling strategy, the 11 practices vary in size, setting, ethos, staffing, population demographics and digital maturity, but share common contextual features—notably system-level stressors such as high workload and staff shortages, and UK’s technical and regulatory infrastructure. We have identified both commonalities and differences between practices in terms of how they: 1] manage the ‘digital front door’ (access and triage) and balance demand and capacity; 2] strive for high standards of quality and safety; 3] ensure digital inclusion and mitigate wider inequalities; 4] support and train their staff (clinical and non-clinical), students and trainees; 5] select, install, pilot and use technologies and the digital infrastructure which support them; and 6] involve patients in their improvement efforts.

Conclusions: General practices’ responses to pandemic-induced disruptive innovation appear unique and situated.  We anticipate that by focusing on depth and detail, this longitudinal study will throw light on why a solution that works well in one practice does not work at all in another. As the study unfolds, we will explore how practices achieve timely diagnosis of urgent or serious illness and manage continuity of care, long-term conditions and complex needs.
The gappiness in Shakespeare
Authors: Rawson Martyn
Published: August 2022

In this paper I outline a performative approach to working with Shakespeare in a Waldorf school, relating this to Smith’s notion of Shakespeare’s ‘gappiness’. It locates this teaching and learning in the context of block teaching, an innovative method used in some Waldorf schools. The paper offers a theoretical account of the performative approach based on the notion of learning in a community of practice and the immersion in unfamiliar landscapes of practice – in this case working with Shakespeare’s Macbeth- in relation to the developmental tasks of 17-18 year old school students. The workshop process in classroom learning is then described.
Mainstream ELT and Steiner Education: Exclusivity or complementarity?
Authors: Maley Alan
Published: August 2022

The article discusses MELT (Mainstream English Language Teaching) in relation to the author’s perception of Waldorf education. It first attempts a definition of performance. It goes on to describe the recent history of MELT with particular regard to performative and creative elements. It then considers those teacher qualities needed for successful in-depth learning and relates this to performance. The major differences between Steiner and MELT are then set out, in particular the encroachment of regulation on MELT. It argues that, while MELT may be imperfect in many ways, not least in the current preference for control, it has nonetheless produced a rich variety of creative work much of which is compatible with Waldorf philosophy and practice. Waldorf likewise has much to offer MELT in helping to restore physical, emotional and spiritual aspects which it currently neglects. It suggests there would be mutual benefit in a better knowledge and understanding between MELT and Waldorf systems.
Performative teaching in the middle school. A report on practice
Authors: Lutzker Peter , Rawson Martyn , Albert-Jahn Silvia
Published: August 2022

The focus of this interview is on teaching English as a foreign language in Waldorf schools from grades 4-8. After the first wholly oral and immersive phase in grades 1-3, the gradual progression to more conscious language learning begins in grade 4 with the introduction of writing and reading in the foreign language. Silvia Albert-Jahn describes the Waldorf approach to teaching pupils from this point on (roughly the age of 10-13). On hand the different developmental stages occurring during these years, she discusses both the contents and methodology which are used and elucidates the reasons for these choices. At the end of the interview, she considers the general goals of language teaching for this period and discusses the importance of the teacher’s relationship to her pupils.
Inviting performance into the English foreign language classroom
Authors: Sievers Ulrike
Published: August 2022

In this article the foreign language classroom in a Waldorf school is described as a space inviting active performative participation. It gives examples spanning the lower, middle and particularly the upper school, in which performative methods and creativity are specifically encouraged. The aim is to involve the whole child and young person not only in reproducing but in producing actions in and through the foreign language, using methods such as enacting stories and pictures, producing and playing scenes, translating prose texts into scripts for plays, radio plays and story boards for film.

Objetivo: Descrever a implementação do projeto “Acolhendo quem Acolhe” da Universidade de Pernambuco, no Centro Integrado de Saúde Amaury de Medeiros em Recife/PE. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, descritivo do tipo relato de experiência desenvolvido a partir da vivência das ações realizadas pelo Projeto de Extensão Acolhendo quem Acolhe, no período de junho a dezembro de 2015, realizado no Centro Integrado de Saúde Amaury de Medeiros, na cidade do Recife, PE. As etapas envolvidas na realização das atividades consistiram em: diretrizes, sensibilização profissional, estruturação e execução/acolhimento. Resultados: Verificou-se a vivência dos alunos extensionistas voltada para a sua atuação profissional através da responsabilidade de orientar os acompanhantes sobre seus direitos durante o atendimento hospitalar, contribuindo para uma vivência mais consciente do processo de parto e nascimento, bem como oportunizou aos acadêmicos um contato precoce com ações baseadas nos preceitos da humanização. Conclusão: Verificou-se que os momentos vividos pelos estudantes possibilitaram conhecer, compreender e identificar a transformação da realidade. Contudo, alguns profissionais ainda se encontram resistentes acerca da aceitação do acompanhante durante o trabalho de parto, e na presença dos alunos extensionistas. Sendo esse o maior impasse encontrado, a superação dele se dá mediante a construção coletiva através do diálogo.

Published: August 2022

Introdução: A Infecção Hospitalar (IH) é uma infecção adquirida após a internação do paciente, podendo se manifestar mesmo após a alta. A prevenção da IH perpassa pela qualificação da equipe multiprofissional, bem como a dispensação de insumos para sua prevenção. Objetivo: Conhecer a percepção de profissionais de um hospital escola no Sul do país sobre mecanismos de transmissão e contenção das infecções hospitalares. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de caráter descritivo, qualitativo e fenomenológico, no qual profissionais das mais diversas categorias responderam a um questionário contendo 15 questões objetivas e 4 subjetivas. As questões objetivas foram baseadas na escala de Likert, por sua vez, as questões subjetivas foram analisadas por meio do discurso de Bardin. Resultados: 17 profissionais (4 enfermeiras, 5 técnicas de enfermagem, 4 fisioterapeutas e 4 médicos) compuseram a amostra, apenas 3 eram homens. A maioria concordou que o hospital disponibiliza sabão antimicrobiano (n = 10) e álcool 70% (n = 14), os participantes da pesquisa foram unânimes ao apontar a etiologia de origem hospitalar e que a prevenção da IH tem íntima relação com aspectos organizacionais. Conclusão: Os profissionais entrevistados demonstram conhecer os mecanismos de controle das IH, no entanto, ressaltam o comprometimento deficitário da equipe multiprofissional para tal controle.

Published: August 2022

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a severe autoimmune illness that can be treated with a variety of medications. However, over a third of patients do not adhere to their treatment regimens. Drug compliance may be influenced by social support and demographic factors. This is a cross-sectional study that examines the association between Patient with MS socio-demographic characteristics and social support and their treatment adherence. We used the perceived social support scale and the treatment compliance scale to collect data on socio-demographic factors. We looked at the correlations between the scores on the three scales. We included 155 female, 45 male patients in our study. The mean age of the patients was 36.3±11.8 (±standard deviation). The rate of noncompliant patients was 15.5%. and 56.0% showed moderate-level compliance with their treatment. The mean multi-dimensional perceived social support score was 62.3±18.8. The only socio-demographic feature that impacts the social support and special person subscale scores was the marital status. We found that married patiens had significantly more social support and were significantly higher than divorced patient (p<0.05). This study found that PwMS compliance with their medicines is unaffected by socio-demographic characteristics or perceived social support. Larger patient groups with less perceived social support will need to be studied. On the other hand, this suggests that patient compliance is more influenced by personal factors such illness perception and beliefs than by social support.

Nos últimos anos, houve um aumento na utilização de materiais hiperelásticos em estruturas, como por exemplo, polímeros vulcanizados ou naturais. Em virtude disso, torna-se relevante expandir o conhecimento quanto ao desempenho mecânico destes materiais por meio do desenvolvimento de modelos numéricos que simulem o seu comportamento e que sejam capazes de apresentar previsões mais realistas. Para materiais representados por modelos hiperelásticos, a consideração das não linearidades física e geométrica é mais adequada para representar o seu comportamento mecânico quando submetidos a grandes deformações. Desse modo, o presente trabalho objetiva a implementação de um código computacional, com o propósito de analisar e comparar o comportamento mecânico de treliças considerando a não linearidade física, descrita por modelos hiperelásticos, e a não linearidade geométrica utilizando a formulação posicional em elementos finitos.  Foi utilizado o método do comprimento de arco de Riks-Wempner associado ao método iterativo de Newton-Rapshson para traçar caminhos de equilíbrio com fenômenos de snap-through e snap-back.

Background. Mucocele is a benign and asymptomatic pseudo cystic lesion that develops secondarily to the leakage or retention of mucous material from the salivary glands, mainly from the minor salivary glands. Aim. The objective was to assess the available evidence related to the prevalence of oral mucoceles in children and adolescents. Design. Relevant articles were searched in electronic databases of PubMed via MEDLINE, Embase and Scopus. Two review authors independently assessed the risk of bias in the included articles and extracted data. Results. From 638 potentially eligible  articles, fifteen  relevant articles were included.  The overall risk of bias was low for all the studies. All selected studies exhibited appropriate data and were included in the meta-analysis. Regarding publication bias, the statistical analysis did not identify asymmetry in the funnel graph (p=0.867). Conclusion. Considering the global analysis of the included studies, it was found that, the pooled prevalence of mucoceles was 1.77% (CI: 1.19% - 2.65%). It is suggested that future studies consider the classification of the particularities of each clinical presentation of patients seen in dental offices, in order to establish better morphological and anatomical definitions of the lesions concerning mucoceles. Studies that seek to standardize variables - related to age group, time interval, geographic region, genetic formation of the population, examined locations and classification of diseases into subgroups are also important. The certainty of the evidence was considered low.

Cathelicidin LL-37 Improves Bone Metabolic Balance in Rats With Ovariectomy-Induced Osteoporosis via the Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway
Authors: LIANG J , CHEN J , YE Z , BAO D
Published: August 2022

Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and impaired bone microarchitecture due to the abnormal activity of osteoclasts. Cathelicidins are antimicrobial peptides present in the lysosomes of macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes. LL-37, a cathelicidin, induces various biological effects, including modulation of the immune system, angiogenesis, wound healing, cancer growth, as well as inflammation, and bone loss. A previous study reported direct involvement of LL-37 suppressing osteoclastogenesis in humans. Here, we examined the role of LL-37 in the treatment of osteoporosis using an ovariectomy (OVX) rat model. Our results showed that LL-37 significantly reduced bone loss and pathological injury in OVX rats with osteoporosis. Furthermore, we found that LL-37 significantly increased the activity of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in OVX rats with osteoporosis, including the increased expression of β-catenin, Osterix (Osx), and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), whereas XAV-939, an inhibitor of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, significantly blocked the effects of LL-37 on bone loss and abnormal bone metabolism. Altogether, our findings suggested that LL-37 exerted a protective role in regulating bone loss and abnormal bone metabolism in rats with osteoporosis by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
Serological Markers of Intestinal Barrier Impairment do not Correlate With Duration of Diabetes and Glycated Hemoglobin in Adult Patients With Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Published: August 2022

Growing evidence suggests that diabetes mellitus is associated with impairment of the intestinal barrier. However, it is not clear so far if the impairment of the intestinal barrier is a consequence of prolonged hyperglycemia or the consequence of external factors influencing the gut microbiota and intestinal mucosa integrity. Aim of the study was to perform an estimation of relationship between serological markers of impairment of the intestinal barrier: intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP), cytokeratin 18 caspase-cleaved fragment (cCK-18), and soluble CD14 (sCD14) and markers of prolonged hyperglycemia, such as the duration of diabetes mellitus and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) via a correlation analysis in patients with diabetes mellitus. In 40 adult patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and 30 adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus the estimation has been performed. Statistically significant positive correlation was found between cCK-18 and HbA1c (r=0.5047, p=0.0275) in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus with fading insulitis (T1D). In patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus with ongoing insulitis (T1D/INS) and in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), no statistically significant positive correlations were found between serological markers of intestinal barrier impairment (I-FABP, cCK-18, sCD14) and duration of diabetes or levels of HbA1c. Similarly, in cumulative cohort of patients with T1D/INS and patients with T1D we revealed statistically positive correlation only between HbA1c and cCK-18 (r=0.3414, p=0.0311). Surprisingly, we found statistically significant negative correlation between the duration of diabetes mellitus and cCK-18 (r=-0.3050, p=0.0313) only in cumulative group of diabetic patients (T1D, T1D/INS, and T2D). Based on our results, we hypothesize that the actual condition of the intestinal barrier in diabetic patients is much more dependent on variable interactions between host genetic factors, gut microbiota, and environmental factors rather than effects of long-standing hyperglycemia (assessed by duration of diabetes mellitus or HbA1c).

The main objective of the study is to summarize the uses of plants by local communities in Pakistan for the treatment of ulcer. In the present review, the data regarding antiulcerogenic plants were collected by searching different online data banks various research publications, PubMed, different books, thesis copies from libraries, and other national organizations. In the current review article, a total of 109 species belonging to 55 families were found to be used against ulcer treatment. Among these Asteraceae was the predominant family containing (11species) followed by Fabaceae (6 species), Asclepiadaceae (5 species), Chenopodiaceae (5 species), Pinaceae (5 species), Brassicaceae (4 species), Polygonaceae (4 species), and, so on. The highest number species used were herbaceous (67.88 %) followed by trees (17.43 %) and shrubs (14.67 %). The majority of the plants reported have significant and useful properties, but certain are cited in several papers that have sparked interest in further pharmacological research. It was occluded that whole plant and anthropogenic activities can make special interest to be exploited sustainably.

The experiment was conducted in local field conditions of Dera Ghazi Khan during the 2021 Kharif season on three different sites.  The core objective of this experiment is to manage Jassid on the cotton crop a major pest. Five different insecticides Dinotefuran, Thiamethoxam, Nitenpyram, Dimethoate and clothianidin were evaluated at recommended doses. The treatments were laid out in randomized complete block designs with three replications. Data regarding the Jassid population before a spray of insecticides and after 24-, 48-, and 72-hour’s of spray were recorded. The reduction in the Jassid population is evaluated by the Abbots formula. The results indicated that Nitenpyram was found most effective on Jassid with mean mortality of 63.47%, 65.07 and 61.86% followed by Dinotefuran with 59.22%, 59.33% and 51.45%. Other treatments thiamethoxam, Dimethoate and clothianidin were at par and did not reduce the Jassid population after 24 and 48 hours. However, thiamethoxam and clothianidin reduced the Jassid population below ETL after 72 hours of spray as compared to Dimethoate. Therefore, it is recommended that Nitenpyram and Dinotefuran should be used for Jassid control at the recommended dose.

Soil salinity is one of major deleterious abiotic stress limiting the yield of wheat crop. Plant growth produce is severely affected by various biotic and environmental and metabolic processes. Application of Potash fertilizer can reduce the harmful effects of saline stress and increase crop yield. This research was carried out to evaluate detrimental effects of salinity stress on wheat produce and to suggest appropriate dose of potash fertilizer to achieve optimum production under saline conditions. There were four K doses as (ck, 50, 3/4th and 100 kilogram K2O/ ha). The results depicted that potash fertilizer application increased wheat crop growth traits and produce substantially under saline regime, significantly. With potassium supplement, height of plant enhanced about 19.23 %, tillers per plant (36.24 %), length of spike (27.33 %) cm, wheat grains (23.5 %), and grain production increased (24.11 %) kg/ha. It was concluded that soil applied potassium fertilizer as K rate at 100 kg K2O yielded in maximum crop growth development and wheat produce at rate of 50 and 75 kg K2O ha-1. Therefore, potash fertilizer at rate of 100 kg K2O ha-1 may be adopted for optimum yield in wheat under saline environment.
An Exposition of Polygonal Approximation of Circle
Authors: Khanra Palash
Published: August 2022

This article attempts to discuss a journey of creating an infinite number of circles from a single circle, using its tangents with a pattern ( PX; X≥3 ) and reaching uptoasingle point fromagivencircle. The time to get a newcirclefromits predecessor circle varies with the pattern. The pattern behind both the radius of the successor circles and predecessor circles is also discussed. Most interestingly, when we apply the P∞ pattern, then all the infinitely many successor circles almost merge into a single one, almost without taking any time and it takes infinite time to reach up to a single point from the given circle, for that pattern. This whole idea can be applied to astronomical objects. Although we are dealing with a circular path, which is an approximation for the elliptical orbit of a celestial body.
A Very Brief Note on the Riemann Hypothesis
Authors: Vega Frank
Published: August 2022

Robin's criterion states that the Riemann Hypothesis is true if and only if the inequality $\sigma(n) < e^{\gamma} \times n \times \log \log n$ holds for all natural numbers $n > 5040$, where $\sigma(n)$ is the sum-of-divisors function of $n$ and $\gamma \approx 0.57721$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. We also require the properties of {\em superabundant numbers}, that is to say left to right maxima of $n \mapsto \frac{\sigma(n)}{n}.$ In this note, using Robin's inequality on superabundant numbers, we prove that the Riemann Hypothesis is true.

The link between civilizations influenced by  Indian culture in  Indonesia and Thailand has been thought-provoking. Many discoveries are mainly found in southern Thailand, which is similar to Javanese 9th-century artwork. This proves that the constituencies in South-East Asia had been in contact with each other in the past. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the concept of cultural influence and link it with the influence of Indian culture in South-East Asia, leading to the cultural conceptualization of the art style during the particular period of the Srivijaya Empire.

 

Hubungan antara peradaban yang dipengaruhi oleh budaya India di Indonesia dan Thailand telah lama menimbulkan kekaguman.  Banyak penemuan di Thailand selatan, seperti karya seni Jawa abad ke-9.  Ini membuktikan bahwa daerah-daerah kekuasaan di Asia Tenggara telah saling bertukar kebudayaan di masa lalu.  Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pengaruh budaya dan menghubungkannya dengan pengaruh budaya India di Asia Tenggara, yang mengarah pada konseptualisasi budaya gaya seni pada masa Kerajaan Sriwijaya dengan menggunakan analisis sastra dan dokumen

Det är väl belagt i internationell forskning att en pluralism av olika kunskapsformer och organisatoriska förhållanden påverkar val och utformning av insatser inom socialt arbete. I den svenska kontexten har det visat sig att dessa kunskapsformer och så kallade ramfaktorer kan framstå som svårförenliga eller till och med i konflikt med varandra. Samtidigt saknas det aktuella svenska studier som på en nationell nivå visar vilken utbredning och upplevd betydelse kunskapsformer och ramfaktorer har för kommunernas utbud och val av insatser. I artikeln presenterar vi en nationell studie av enhetschefers syn på olika kunskapsformers och ramfaktorers förekomst och betydelse för utbud och beslut om insatser inom socialtjänstens individ- och familjeomsorg. Artikeln bygger på data från en nationell enkät riktad till enhetschefer för ett urval av Sveriges kommuners barn- och familje- respektive missbruksverksamheter. Resultaten visar att samtliga undersökta kunskapsformer och ramfaktorer påverkar val och utformning av insats, men att vissa former mer framträdande än andra. Främst baseras val och utformning av insats på individuell erfarenhetsbaserad kunskap från yrkeserfarenhet och utbildning, snarare än kollektiv professionell kunskap. Vidare menar enhetscheferna att systematiska kunskapssammanställningar påverkar i högre utsträckning än enskilda kvalitativa och kvantitativa forskningsstudier inom vetenskaplig kunskap. När det gäller ramfaktorer visar studien att insatsens kostnad påverkar i mindre utsträckning än faktorer som tillgänglighet, ramavtal och lagstiftning.
Barnperspektiv och ekonomiskt bistånd
Authors: Pålsson David , Wiklund Stefan
Published: August 2022

Det ställs alltfler krav på svenska samhällsinstitutioner att i sitt beslutsfattande ta särskild hänsyn till barn. Inom socialtjänsten är ett uttryck för detta att begreppet barnperspektiv har blivit ett viktigt ledord. Ett verksamhetsområde som statliga myndigheter menar ska präglas av ett barnperspektiv är ekonomiskt bistånd. Det är emellertid inte självklart vad det innebär att inta ett barnperspektiv i en traditionellt vuxencentrerad verksamhet som ekonomiskt bistånd. Den här artikeln bygger på fallstudier i sex kommuner med låg respektive hög beviljande- och generositetsgrad till barnfamiljer. I enlighet med nyinstitutionell teori analyseras begreppet barnperspektiv som en idé som är föremål för översättning på det lokala planet. Syftet är att beskriva och analysera arbetssätt och värderingar i förhållande till barnfamiljer samt om, och i så fall hur, kommuner med låga respektive höga utgifter skiljer sig åt. Det empiriska underlaget utgörs av kommunala riktlinjer, intervjuer (n = 24) med socialtjänstföreträdare samt information från personakter (n = 344). Studiens huvudsakliga resultat visar att det förekommer ett flertal varierande tolkningar av vad ett barnperspektiv inom ekonomiskt bistånd är. Skillnaderna kan dock i begränsad utsträckning hänföras till den generositet kommunerna uppvisar i socialbidragshandläggningen till barnfamiljer. Vidare är kommunernas konkreta arbetssätt i förvånansvärt liten utsträckning fokuserade på barn. I diskussionen relateras resultatet till teori och tidigare forskning.
