The aim of the study was to compare how young adults experience their identity formation in relation to both their own as well as to another residential areas class character. The study had a comparative approach and two socioeconomically diverse areas in the Municipality of Växjö were studied. The study's empirical work consists of qualitative interviews with young adults from the residential areas Araby and Öjaby. The empirical data were analysed with the help of Erik H Erikson's theory of identity, Pierre Bourdieu's theory of social class and John L Scotsons and Norbert Elias's theory of established and outsiders. The results of the study showed that young adults feel that their residential area has a considerable impact regarding to their identity formation. The results also showed that an area's reputation has a strong impact on how individuals in the area are perceived. All respondents in the study felt that people from the socioeconomically privileged area had better life conditions than people from the socioeconomically disadvantaged area. These conditions include the school situation as well as the labour market.

É uma obra aparentemente elaborada para jovens, mas também tece críticas às normas pré-estabelecidas e abarca fantasia e humor inserindo-se nas características abordadas por Bakhtin. As raízes da sátira menipéia estão embasadas na carnavalização, a qual abriga um sentido ambivalente e se traduz em ritos cômicos e festejos populares de caráter não oficial. Com o filósofo Menipo de Gadara, século III a.C., a sátira menipéia adquire a forma clássica, mas foi com Marcus Terentius Varro ou Varrão (116-27 a.C.), filósofo romano, autor de Saturae Menipeae que utilizou o termo pela primeira vez. Fundamentamos nossa pesquisa em Bakhtin, o qual discorre sobre a carnavalização e aponta as características da menipéia. O humor e a sátira de Mark Twain resultam de seu intimo modo de pensar, imaginação e senso crítico os quais remetem à sua vivência e à cor local contabilizando um estilo claro, mas, profundo. O pensamento crítico do escritor pode ser notado desde as primeiras obras, exteriorizando-o no seu momento antiimperialista. Enfocamos alguns aspectos da sátira, da carnavalização literária e nos dedicamos ao estudo de As Aventuras de Tom Sawyer sob o viés da sátira menipéia. / Our research deals with the menipeaen satire in the work The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain and discusses the narrator's performance in it. It is a work apparently elaborated for young readers, but it also criticizes the pre-established norms, and it embraces fantasy and humor with bases on the characteristics pointed out by Bakhtin. The roots of the menipeaen satire are based on the carnival, which shelters an ambivalent sense and it turns out to be comic rites and popular feasts of unofficial character. With the philosopher Menipo of Gadara, century III B.C., the menipeaen satire acquires the classic form, but it was with Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 B.C.), roman philosopher, author of Saturae Menipeae that the term was used for the first time. We have based our research on Bakhtin , who talks about the carnival process and points out the characteristics of the menipeaen satire. Twain's humor and satire come from his deep way of thinking, imagination and critical sense; which convey to his experience and to local color computing a clear but deep style. The writer's critical thinking can be noticed from his first works, and it can be evidenced in his anti-imperialist moment. We have focused some aspects of the satire, of the literary carnival, and we have developed a study of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer under the point of view of menipeaen satire.

Resumé Tato práce se zabývá Evangeliem podle Marka sepsaným v 1. století našeho letopočtu a sledovala 3 základní cíle: vliv překladatelské činnosti na srozumitelnost textu, kvalitu čtenářského zážitku a pedagogické zásady a metody obsažené v evangeliu. Pro ověření srozumitelnosti textu a kvality čtenářského zážitku byla zvolena 3 témata: krátký a dlouhý závěr evangelia, výskyt tetragrammata a práce se slovem "duch", který se v evangeliu vyskytuje ve více významech. Krátký či dlouhý závěr (v některých případech obojí) uvádějí všechny citované překlady. Pro čtenáře je to jistě přínosné, protože mu to dovolí nahlédnout do historie biblických rukopisů. Přestože tyto závěry nelze ověřit jako Markovo dílo, tak s jeho spisem nejsou v rozporu a pouze ho drobně doplňují v souladu se zprávou v evangeliích Matouše, Lukáše a Jana. Těžištěm této práce je otázka tetragrammata v Markově evangeliu v případech, kdy Marek cituje z Hebrejských Písem. Vzhledem k tomu, že v Novém zákoně se výraz Pán vztahuje jak na osobu Boha, tak na Ježíše, je pro čtenáře jistě vhodnější, aby tyto osoby od sebe byly v textu jasně odděleny, a to nejlépe odlišným pojmenováním. Navíc, v citovaných pasážích z Hebrejské části Bible se prokazatelně objevoval JHVH a máme důkazy o tom, že v Kristově době se běžně používal jak v psané, tak v mluvené...

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / The Great Commission is a sacred cantata written for mixed chorus, soprano, messo soprano, tenor, and bass soloists, and symphony orchestra. The main text, St. Mark xvi. 15-18, determines the general plan. It is composed in six parts with a finale. Part I contains the command of Jesus, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel." Parts II to VI are each made up of, (1) an introduction with the pronouncement of one of the signs which would follow, and, (2) a musical setting of a biblical text which is a fulfilment. Part I begins with a processional type introduction in g minor for full orchestra and marked Moderato maestoso. It is formed of irregular length phrases punctuated by short rests and introduces the entrance of the chorus, singing in unison, "Jesus came...and spoke", with the sopranos beginning on a high G.

La recherche concerne les représentations sociales du VIH/sida, en pays Moba (Nord Togo) telles qu’elles sont socialement et culturellement perçues, tant par les personnes vivant au quotidien avec le VIH/sida que par celles qui ne sont pas atteintes. Une revue de la littérature a mis en évidence l’évolution des connaissances, croyances, attitudes, inquiétudes et défenses au regard de l’évolution du VIH/sida à travers le monde. Elle a permis d’identifier les éléments constitutifs des représentations sociales du VIH/sida en les abordant à travers le prisme du modèle contagionniste, des théories profanes, de l’action raisonnée et du comportement planifié. On a exploré aussi les théories explicatives (du stigmate, des préjugés et des discriminations) et celles dites des «peurs liminales». Des travaux empiriques ont été menés en pays Moba, au Nord-Togo. Les objectifs ont été d’analyser les composantes des discours populaires/profanes des personnes non infectées et des personnes infectées afin de mettre en évidence les phénomènes cognitifs induits par les représentations sociales de la maladie qui contribuent à la construction d'une identité séropositive. Méthode 410 personnes, âgées de 18 à 56 ans, ont été interrogées : 376 personnes non infectées (dont 269 prises de manière aléatoire), 7 agents de l’Association Vivre dans l’Espérance prenant en charge des personnes vivant avec le VIH, 34 personnes infectées par le VIH/sida. Une analyse quantitative des données a été menée à l'aide du logiciel SPSS (Statistical Social Sciences Package); traitement des tests de khi-deux de Pearson. Une analyse de contenu sociolinguistique s’est appliquée aux différents discours produits. Elle s'est faite en identifiant des catégories clés. Pour effectuer une procédure de contrôle, nous avons eu recours à la méthode des jurés qui nous a permis de valider les catégories identifiées par deux enseignants de l'Université de Kara originaires du pays Moba comme nous.Résultats, discussion et conclusion Les représentations sociales du VIH/sida en pays Moba s’élaborent et se structurent sous l’influence de processus socioculturels qui demeurent préjudiciables pour les personnes atteintes du VIH. Si les personnes non infectées continuent de considérer le sida comme une maladie grave, mortelle ou encore comme une maladie «honteuse» parce qu’elle est liée au sexe, les personnes infectées ne semblent pas s’auto-stigmatiser comme des «personnes dangereuses» et se décrivent plutôt comme des patients atteints d’une maladie chronique, au même titre que ceux qui sont victimes du paludisme. Elles précisent que la prise en charge médicale et psycho-sociale a produit un changement (décrit comme «positif») dans la perception de la maladie et de celui qui en est porteur. Les attitudes à leur endroit seraient et resteraient malgré tout «hostiles». Ce facteur serait à l’origine de «souffrances» de ces personnes et de la mise en œuvre au quotidien de stratégies permettant de faire face à leur mal. Une véritable identité séropositive semble se construire autour des déterminants comportementaux qui portent sur la prévention d’une éventuelle double infection, le mariage entre séropositifs, le maintien de l'exercice d'un métier, le renoncement aux activités sexuelles, la participation à des rituels spécifiques de deuil, les témoignages à visage découvert, le maintien du non-dit et la politique du secret quant à leur séropositivité. / The social representations of HIV/AIDS such as they are socially and culturally perceived and the strategies updated in the speech of the people living at the daily with HIV/AIDS in Moba's area were explored. A significant review of the literature tried to highlight the evolution of knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, concerns and defenses in comparison with the international social events and to identify the components of the social representations of HIV/AIDS by approaching them through the prism of the model contagionnist, the profane theories, the reasoned action and the planned behavior, as well as the explanatory theories (of the mark, the prejudices and discrimination) and those of the liminal fears. Empric work was undertaken in Moba’s area, in North-Togo. The objectives were to analyze the components of the common/profanes speeches of uninfected and infected people in order to highlight the cognitive phenomena induced by the social representations of the disease which contribute to the construction of an identity of HIV-positive individual. In all, 410 old people of 18 with more than 56 years including/understanding: 376 uninfected people including 269 catches in a random way and 7 agents of Association Food in the Hope dealing with people living with the HIV and 34 people infected by HIV/AIDS. A sociolinguistic analysis of contents applied to the various produced speeches. It was done by identifying key categories as well as verbatim while measuring their importance. The use of SPSS software (Statistical Social Package for the Sciences) allowed to classify the speeches in order to emphasize recurring. To carry out a check procedure, we had recourseto the method of sworn which enabled us to validate the dcatégories identified by two teachers of the University of Kara originating in the Moba’s area like us. The social representations of HIV/AIDS in Moba’s area are worked out and structured under the influence of processes socioculturels which remain prejudicial for the people reached of the HIV. If the not infected people continue to regard the AIDS as a serious illness, mortal or a venereal disease because it is related to the sex, the infected people do not seem car-to stigmatize themselves like “dangerous people” and describe themselves rather like patients reached of a chronic disease, as well as those which are victims of malaria. They recognize that the medical and psychosocial assumption of responsibility produced a change (positive) in the perception of the disease and that which of it is carrying. The attitudes at their place would be and remain in spite of very hostile. This factor would be at the origin of the sufferings of these people and the implementation to the daily living strategies to face their evil. A true seropositive identity seems to be built around the behavioral determinants which relate to the prevention of the double infection, the marriage between hiv-positive individuals, the maintenance of the exercise of a trade, the renouncement of the sexual activities, the ritual specific ones of mourning, testimonys with discovered face, the maintenance of the unvoiced comment and the policy of the secrecy as for their seropositivity.

Översvämningar är en naturkatastrof som uppkommer vid stor variation i vattentillförsel, exempelvis vid regn eller snösmältning. Detta är ett problem som man länge har bekämpat genom att bygga upp barriärer för att hålla vattnet borta. Tidigare har barriärerna vanligen byggts av sandsäckar, men under de senaste decennierna har många alternativ utvecklats för att göra uppbyggandet enklare och effektivare. Geodesign Barriers AB är ett företag som utvecklat mobila vattenbarriärer med syftet att vara snabba och enkla att montera samt platseffektiv när den inte används. Barriären är utvecklad för att kunna klara stora vattentryck, men vissa markförhållanden ställer högre krav på konstruktionen. Därför har man utvecklat två komplement som ökar barriärens kapacitet. Det ena är förankringsstag som förankras i marken och det andra är en skopa som monteras på barriärens undersida. Syftet har varit att med hjälp av tester i fält, ta reda på när respektive komplement bör användas på den undersökta modellen EUR125.
