- summary: Keywords: narrative analysis, text interpretation, coding, meaning, knowledge, social work, Ricœur Introduction The qualitative analysis of texts often implies some form of coding of text units, with the purposes to reduce, categorize or find the meaning in the material (Miles & Huberman, 1994; Robson, 2001). In narrative analyses, which this article employs, coding is a necessary step in order to uncover the meaning in a text (Riessman, 1993, 2004, 2008).

- words: 8259
- flesch: 57
- summary: This situation requires that a certain trust be in place between care user and care giver and that the care giver understands and respects the elderly’s dignity, vulnerability, and frailty, and such a relationship often requires time to develop. Little, however, was said about whether increased user-involvement would change the care relationship between care recipient and care provider, and if change were to occur, what might be the results.

- summary: Automatic normalizing can result in enabling, and automatic labelling can result in social rejection. 1 Until recently, I had not realized that in the actual dialogue, in order to normalize suspect behaviour, the healer must specifically translate the discourse out of the labelling mode into the normalizing mode, and be prepared to accept the consequences from the world of automatic labelling.

- date: 2011-06-10
- words: 8450
- flesch: 60
- summary: In part in the market competition, since the elderly person in need of care can also chose paid family care instead of home care in many programmes for long-term care in European welfare states (Ungerson, 2004). We assumed that the differences in the legal construction of the work situation of the family carer, the care relationship, and the social rights connected with family care all differ in different types of welfare states.

- summary: NJSR – Nordic Journal of Social Research 2011 – Special Issue 96 Results The profile of Nordic care workers working with older people To put it briefly, in all four Nordic countries care workers who provide care for older people are, in general, middle-aged women who are born in their country of residence, who have training in and extensive experience of care work , who are employed by the public sector, and who work primarily in residential settings (table 1). Discussion The aim of this article has been to address the question of whether the recent adoption of market-based practices within Nordic care services for older people constitutes a risk for the work satisfaction of care workers.

- summary: Private ECEC services increased more than threefold, and ECEC service provision fragmented, resulting in considerable regional and local variations in the availability and the quality of services (Randall, 2002). This model has not been abandoned but reinforced in recent years, with massive increases in public ECEC services and the extension of a statutory right to a place for all children aged one to six.

- date: 2011-06-10
- words: 7250
- flesch: 52
- summary: Even though a relatively small proportion of total care is provided by private contractors, privatization policies in elderly home care in Denmark have created several layers of tensions. We have identified four areas of tensions: 1) those between liberal and libertarian ideas and values versus local political orientations and practices; 2) new tensions and lines of demarcation among political actors, where old political conflicts no longer holds; 3) tensions between promises and actual delivery, due to insufficient control of private contractors; and 4) those between market principles and the professional ethics of care providers.

- summary: Ethnicity and socio-economic status as predictors of outdoor leisure activities Participation in outdoor physical leisure activities varies across ethnic groups and as a function of social class. However, studies indicate that time spent in outdoor physical activities has reduced in many populations, and that when children are active outdoors, they tend to stay closer to home compared to earlier records (e.g., Valentine & McKendrick, 1997).

- summary: Political priorities have a direct bearing on micro-level decisions since they provide the financial and regulatory framework for the individual case (Björk & Rosén, 1993; Lammintakanen & Kinnunen, 2004). In addition to formal political influence, allocative outcomes are also a result of how executives, administrators, and social workers implement political decisions.

- summary: Whereas OHSs was defined by its concern with health issues that were work-related, in that the causes of ill health or some health risk were to be found at work, OHSs now increasingly concern health issues, which affect or may affect employees’ work performance, but where the causes of potential or actual ill health are to be found in the private sphere or in the integration of the private and professional sphere of employees’ lives. A physician pointed out that this new and more encompassing notion of health relates directly to a new culture and managerial philosophy in their customers’ organizations: I think the new type of health services that we provide relate to how health has become an integrated part of most of our customers’ culture and philosophy.

The majority of parents in Norway seem to prefer day care for their children.

Departing from the view of sickness absence as a result of a poor work environment and stress, the debate in the early 2000s became more concerned with the breakdown of norms and the abuse of sickness insurance.

- summary: Calasanti (2003) argues that there is a need NJSR – Nordic Journal of Social Research Vol. 4, 2013 119 to theorize age relations and old age systematically as a political location in its own right, predominantly on the basis of the experiences of older people. According to Calasanti (2003, 215), ‘examining age relations … will allow us to explicate the structures that deny power to so many of the old for reasons having less to do with the aging of bodies and more to do with our construction of old age as sickness, dependence, lack of productivity, unattractiveness, and decline’.

- summary: Previous research on the emotional dimension of conjugal relationships has focused primarily on women’s emotional investments – and men’s lack thereof: studies have demonstrated that women shoulder the main responsibility for intimacy and commitment in couple relationships (Illouz, 1997; Duncombe & Marsden, 1999; Jamieson, 1999; Magnusson, 2006). Our approach is inspired by Connell and Messerschmidt (2005), who emphasize how changes in conceptions of hegemonic masculinities are related to new gender roles in couple relationships, as seen, for instance, in the companionate marriage.

The penetration of market relations and of abstract systems into every aspect of the life-world compels the individual to choose.

Though my analysis does not support the idea that more flexible working hours is a decisive factor for those who choose to opt for full early retirement, a possible next step could be to investigate the impact of offering flexible working hours on the employment duration of those who do remain in employment.

Bjørn Hamre, in his article, ‘Diagnosing, special education and ‘learnification’ in Danish schools’, uses Foucault to document the twin tracks within the Danish educational system of learning and diagnosis, and demonstrates this specifically in the discourses of educational psychologists.

- summary: Hence, this article first presents an introduction to the research field of Danish Foucauldian disability studies; secondly, it examines how studies in governmentality and subjectification in general education can possibly contribute to a contemporary analysis of this subject. Danish Foucauldian disability studies on the efforts towards normalization Michel Foucault’s analysis of the normality-deviancy issue (Foucault, 1962; 2001; 2005; 2006) was introduced in a Danish context in the beginning of the 1970s.

- summary: Files produced by educational psychologists include descriptions of problems showing, for example, that diagnosed pupils have difficulties with being the curious, change- oriented, positive, and social individuals that the standards of education stipulate they ought to be. Here I am informed by the three types of subjectivity outlined by Foucault (Foucault, 1982), namely, scientific classification (such as psychiatry), dividing practices (e.g., exclusion to special education), and subjectification (e.g., the ways in which diagnosed pupils define themselves as different).

- summary: In this study we have investigated how welfare recipients in Norway and Denmark, and caseworkers in Denmark, understand and account for images which, through the use of stereotypes, directly or indirectly may question welfare recipients’ work ethic and deservedness. The interviewees problematize the image and depicted stereotypes, which they link both with motif and symbols and with surrounding public debates on the work ethic and deservedness of welfare recipients.

- summary: The countries in Turner’s (2008) study, however, have welfare states that are qualitatively different from the Danish case, and, therefore, neo-liberalism in the Nordic countries may have adapted to a different context. Béland (2010), however, argues that the lock-in effect can also be of an immaterial nature, and that the studies of welfare states have focused too much on the material lock-in effects.

I have selected it partly because it has many similarities to other LMC processes in the wake of the Norwegian Coordination Reform, and partly because it is different, as it already had a DMC (Magnussen & Tingvold, 2015).The benefits of a single-case study lies both in its capacity to investigate a phenomenon in depth in its real-life context and in the investigator’s opportunity to use a variety of data-collection methods (Flyvbjerg, 2006; Gerring, 2004, 2007).

To compensate, the health authorities wish to bring in an increasing number of volunteer care workers to meet the social needs of residents, for example, by involving them in conversation, taking them for a walk or arranging social events.

- summary: Cultural capital in its institutionalized form might lose value after migration because the institutions that grant qualifications and credentials are subject to distinct laws regarding the evaluation and production of cultural capital (Bourdieu & Passeron, 1979). An embodied form of cultural capital that was acquired in the home country can be maintained among immigrant parents even after migration.

When analysing the prerequisites for IPV social work, an approach that combines social movement perspectives with neo-institutional theories is particularly relevant.

- summary: Background The production and allocation of social services has been neglected in the general welfare state research, in which different systems of welfare have been appraised mainly through a focus on benefits (levels, duration and coverage) (Jensen, 2011; Martinelli, Anttonen & Mätzke, 2017). Understanding how such devices are implemented and function is important to grasp the mechanisms through which social services are allocated.

The increased rationalisation inherent in social life, which Weber (1920) foresaw in The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, adds cumulatively to the suffering of marginalised citizens.

- summary: The structural equation model showed that basic psychological need satisfaction mediated the negative association between psychological health complaints and satisfaction with life. In line with this theory, the associations indicate that a high degree of psychological health complaints may create a context that makes it difficult for individuals to satisfy their basic psychological needs for competence, relatedness and autonomy, which is associated with a lower satisfaction with life.

A range of studies and writings on public sector innovation have followed from these premises, leading a substantial part of public sector innovation research as centred on identifying the ‘drivers and barriers’ for innovation (De Vries et al., 2016; Ringholm & Holmen, 2019).

- summary: The current study has revealed in-depth insights low- income family adolescents’ perspectives on how the housing standards and location of their home and neighbourhood are directly associated with their social lives. Those who are not homeowners have to enter the private rental market because there is very limited availability of social housing, with only 4% of Norwegian house stocking being publicly owned (Sandlie & Gulbrandsen, 2017).

- title: “We don’t feel like we are part of the project”: An analysis of tensions in the development and implementation of a public sector innovation project in Norway
- date: 2021-10-10
- words: 7319

- summary: Discussion While extant research tends to cast collaboration as harmonious (i.e., that collaboration per se often leads to positive outcomes), as this article highlights, in addition to requiring engagement in collaboration and a shared overarching goal, innovation projects need all relevant actors to have a mutual understanding of the project logic; that is, whether collaboration should be hierarchical or egalitarian. It would have been better to involve the Adult Education Centre from the very start […] I mean, some of us have been in this game for quite some time, and we have a lot of experience from different projects, so had we been listened to from the very start, it would have facilitated implementation, and we could have taken ownership of the project, which would have been important.
