Syfte Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka vilken betydelse kroppens form och utseende har för utövare på träningsanläggningar. Metod Metoden som har använts i denna studie är enkäter. Urvalet i denna studie har bestått av 51 individer som bor i en medelstor svensk stad, mellan 18–65 år, kvinnor och män som tränar på gym. Resultat Resultatet visar att de som tränat i över två år känner sig nöjda med sin kropp i mycket större utsträckning än de som tränat mindre än två år och att ålder inte spelar någon större roll. Män är generellt sett mer nöjd med sin kropp än kvinnor. Män tränar även fler pass i veckan samt fler timmar än kvinnor. Resultatet visar även att äldre alltid varit mer nöjd med sin kropp än yngre men att de yngre i högre utsträckning både blivit mer och mindre nöjda med sin kropp efter att de börjat tränat. Yngre lägger mer fokus på hur andras kroppar ser ut och fokuserar även mycket på hur deras egen kropp ser ut samt har för form. Ett annat resultat av denna forskning var att ganska långt ifrån alla som befinner sig på gymmet trivs där, men att de flesta blivit mer nöjda med sig själva efter att de tagit sig till gymmet regelbundet, framförallt de som gjort det i över två års tid. Slutsatser Många men långt ifrån alla som befinner sig på gym trivs där. De flesta blir däremot mer nöjda med sig själva när de tränar regelbundet. Ålder spelar en viss roll, äldre bryr sig i lägre utsträckning om sin egna kropp och andra kroppar jämför med yngre. Män är mer nöjda jämfört med kvinnor över sina kroppar samt att män tränar fler och längre pass. / Purpose The purpose of this assignment was to examine what meaning the body’s shape and form has on an active person who works out in gym. Method We have used a survey as our method in this assignment to get the results. The people that we have asked to answer the survey are 51 individuals, between 18- 65 years old that lives in a medium-sized Swedish town. All of these women and men are regularly working out at a gym. Result The results of this survey have shown that those who has work outed for over two years, feels satisfied with their body shape in a wider perspective then those who have trained less then two years and that age do not play a big part of it. Men are in general more satisfied with their bodies than women are. Men also work out more hours per week then women. The result also shows that older people are more satisfied with their bodies then younger but the younger in a large perspective have become more or less satisfied with their bodies after they started working out. The younger generation put a lot more focus on how other people’s bodies look and how their own shape look. Another result this survey have had were that far from everybody who visited the gym feel at home there, but most of them have become more satisfied with themselves after they have gone to the gym more regularly, especially those who have done it over two years’ time. Conclusion Many but still far from everybody that work out at a gym feels at home there, however many who do work out regularly feel more satisfied with themselves. Age play a small part in it all, older people care far less about their body in comparison with the younger generations. Gender also seems to play a part of the comparison as men feels more satisfied with their bodies than women do. Men tends to have more and longer workout sessions at the gym.

Encadré par la théorie et la méthodologie de la sémiologie des indices proposée par Anne-Marie Houdebine, ce travail analyse les relations homme/femme, sous le coup de la censure, dans le cinéma iranien postrévolutionnaire. L’analyse systémique permet de dégager d’abord les strates iconique, scénique, sonore et technique à l’intérieur du corpus des scènes de films. Ensuite, il met en évidence des éléments explicités qui montrent qu’au plan formel existe un certain nombre de récurrences dans toutes les scènes analysées quel que soit le film travaillé. Au plan de l’expression, une grammaire formelle de la relation homme/femme dans le cinéma iranien a été dégagée. Au plan du contenu, des illusions de proximité et de rapprochement, des déclarations d’amour, des propositions sexuelles, de l’érotisme ainsi que des relations amoureuses et sexuelles surgissent à travers différentes configurations syntagmatiques des indices tels que le regard, le geste avorté, la scène de retour, l’enfant, l’objet symbolique, l’extérieur, l’intérieur, la voiture, la cour, le hors champ, la transition et la musique. En construisant son espace comme l’architecture iranienne traditionnelle entre l’externe (espace réservé aux invités et aux étrangers à la famille) et l’interne (espace privé) mais également en s’emparant des figures de styles à l’instar de la poésie iranienne classique, le cinéma iranien parle pudiquement de l’amour et créé ainsi sa propre iranité concernant les relations homme/femme. / Using Anne-Marie Houdebine’s theory and methodology of semiology of indices, this work analyses the relationships between man and woman in the censured post-revolution Iranian cinema. The systemic analysis highlights the iconic, scenic, auditory and technical stratums within the movie scenes. It also shows explicit elements, which reveals the existence of a certain amount of repetitions on a formal scale in any analyzed film. We can see there is a formal grammar respected when it comes to the expression of man and woman relationships in Iranian cinema. Illusions of closeness, love declarations, sexual propositions, erotism, love and sexual relationships are suggested through various phrasal configurations of the indices, such as glances, abortive gestures, turn around scenes, images of the child, symbolic objects, outside and inside, car, courtyard, off screens, direct transitions and music. Iranian cinema chastely explores love, expressing its own Iranianity regarding relationships between man and woman, by constructing space in the way that traditional Iranian architecture does (external space for guests and internal for family and privacy), but also by using stylistic devices, as in classical Iranian poetry.

The theme of the thesis is the partnership between men and women in the second half of the 19th century, on the example of the middle classes in the Czech society. Attention is paid to all stages of relationships before marriage as well as of the marital relationship. The thesis dwells on the development of an ideal partner, the strategy of finding and choosing one, periods of courtesy, and changes of the relationship caused by marriage and the arrival of children. Discussion on the reform of the institution of marriage in the early 20th century between representatives of the Catholic Church and their opponents is also included. One part of the thesis deals with the issue of divorce, marital separation, as well as widowhood. In addition to ego-documents the main sources for the theses were prescriptive literature, social catechisms, periodicals and specialised and academic literature of the period.
