The narrators of Roughing It in the Bush and Obasan struggle with the notion of home and how to reinvent it in situations of exile. Moodie is estranged when she emmigrates from Britain to Canada to find her role compromised by the rigors of the pioneering experience. Naomi, a Japanese Canadian is estranged when she and her family are expelled from their home, relocated in internment camps, and dispersed across the country during the Second World War. I argue that reinventing home requires both questioning and claiming material and discursive spaces. / Moodie reinvents home by negotiating Old and New World spaces of gender, class and culture. Naomi reinvents home by questioning official, exclusionary discourse and testifying to the Japanese Canadian history of internment and dispersal. Both narrators negotiate borders between private experience and public discourse and in the process, explore the question: "What is the meaning of home?"

This thesis explores the functions of laughter in Japanese communication. In orientation it contrasts markedly with previous studies and is the first study to have been based on such a large volume of data. In this paper I have focused on laughter as it serves to maintain a co-operative relationship between the participants in a conversation. I find that in the process of communication, people necessarily have to lay themselves open to others, and in doing so they become conscious of the barrier surrounding and protecting their field, i.e. their �inner world�. I hypothesise that in Japanese at least it is consciousness of this barrier that causes the occurrence of laughter in discourse. In other words, people laugh as part of the process of opening up to others, and also to show their intention to be co-operative. By laughing, people are either confirming that they belong to the same in-group, or they are pretending to belong to the same in-group in order to show co-operation. In my model, laughter is classified: A: Joyful laughter for identifying with the in-group B: Balancing laughter for easing tension C: Laughter as a cover-up. A is also divided into 3 subcategories, B into 3, and C into 2 according to the subject of the utterance and the direction of movement into the protective barrier. Two types of statistical analysis were applied to the data in order to the test the validity of the classification. Keywords: interpersonal communication; laughter; field; barrier; co-operation; joy; balancing; cover-up gender

The aim of the diploma thesis is a proposal of a new steering construction of the special vehicle for disabled. The fundamental requirement for new construction is driving by only one main control. New steering construction was designed to uses drive-by-wire method and the vehicle is controlled by joy-stick. The proposal and necessary calculations were performed using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2015 software.

Bakgrund: Vård av god kvalité innebär vård där sjuksköterskan känner medlidande med patienten och upplever inre tillfredställelse av att göra det. Det är sjuksköterskor och patienter eniga om. Sjuksköterskor som inte lyckas uppleva compassion satisfaction kan hamna i ett tillstånd som heter compassion fatigue vilket är ett tillstånd som har sin grund i höga påfrestningar som uppstår i arbetet. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att hitta kraft av att vårda. Metod: En allmän litteraturöversikt genomfördes på två kvantitativa artiklar och elva kvalitativa artiklar. Analysen genomfördes enligt Friberg. Resultat: Resultatet visade på flera olika faktorer som leder till känslan av glädje och motivation i yrket som sjuksköterska. Fyra olika kategorier uppenbarades: mellanmänsklig bekräftelse, moralisk tillfredställelse, existentiell tillfredställelse, professionellt erkännande och utveckling. Kategorierna beskriver källor till tillfredställande och till kraft att fortsätta inom professionen. Exempel på dessa faktorer är: att få chans att göra skillnad för patienten, att kunna vara autonom och att få bekräftelse från arbetskollegor och ledningen. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor kan finna kraft i att vårda dock finns det även sjuksköterskor som inte lyckas uppleva compassion satisfaction. Mer kunskap om compassion satisfaction kan gynna sjuksköterskor i framtiden. / Background: Good quality care means nursing with compassion and experiencing inner satisfaction of doing so. Nurses and patients are in agreement on that. Nurses who fail to experience compassion satisfaction can end up in a state called compassion fatigue which is a condition that is due to the high stresses that arise at work. Aim: To describe nurses' experiences of achieving a sense of power through care. Method: A general literature review was conducted on two quantitative articles and eleven qualitative articles. The analysis was conducted according to Friberg Result: The results showed different factors that bring forth a sense of joy and motivation in the nursing profession. Four different categories were revealed: interpersonal confirmation, moral satisfaction, existential satisfaction, professional recognition and development. The categories describe different sources of satisfaction and the empowering elements that supports retention in the profession.  Examples of factors are: a chance to make a difference for the patient, being able to be autonomous and getting confirmation from colleagues and the management. Conclusions: Nurses can find power in caring, however, there are also nurses who fail to experience compassion satisfaction. More knowledge about compassion satisfaction can benefit nurses in the future.

Opposed to the dogmatic philosophy that moralize and robs your strength to think of it as "happiness", evaluated, in short, a target linked to virtue and rationality these thinkers propose a perspective that makes the joy of point to an instance extraterrestrial and back to the earth, to the body. In this vein, beyond the oppositions of values constitutive of metaphysics dogmatic, the joy and suffering are conceived as elements that are not mutually exclusive, they are complementary as foundations of a gaia(ta) science, based in laughter and friendship. Contents of a tragic wisdom that leads to an unconditional fidelity to the real (expressed in formulas of amor fati Nietzsche and unrestricted approval of existence Rosset), the joy is then interview as vital impulse, the force majeure, the strength plastic encourages artistic creation: the joy of children playing / Compreendida em um projeto de transvalora??o dos valores, a alegria ? um dos temas centrais do pensamento de Friedrich Nietzsche e Cl?ment Rosset. Contrapondo-se ? filosofia dogm?tica que a moraliza e a despoja de sua for?a ao pens?-la como felicidade , avaliada, em suma, como meta vinculada ? virtude e ? racionalidade , estes pensadores prop?em uma perspectiva em que a alegria deixa de apontar para uma inst?ncia ultramundana e volta-se para a terra, para o corpo. Nesta senda, para al?m das oposi??es de valores constitutivas da metaf?sica dogm?tica, a alegria e o sofrimento s?o concebidos como elementos que n?o se excluem, antes se complementam como fundamentos de uma ci?ncia gaia(ta), consubstanciada no riso e na amizade. ?ndice de uma sabedoria tr?gica que remete a uma incondicional fidelidade ao real (expressa nas f?rmulas do amor fati Nietzsche e da aprova??o irrestrita da exist?ncia Rosset), a alegria ? ent?o entrevista como impulso vital, a for?a maior, a for?a pl?stica que incita ? cria??o art?stica: a alegria de crian?a brincando
