Les recherches menées dans cette étude se situent dans le cadre de l’analyse du volontarisme étatique dans l’accélération du processus d’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes. Notre postulat de départ est que l'émancipation de la femme en Tunisie émane d'une volonté politique impulsée depuis le haut par le pouvoir tunisien par le biais d’une réforme juridique. Nous défendons l’idée selon laquelle le rapport entre l’État et la question féminine en Tunisie demeure indissociable. La libération des Tunisiennes ayant été portée par le dirigisme étatique dans le cadre d’un régime de type autoritaire, il nous a semblé important de chercher à comprendre et à expliquer les paradoxes de ce projet autoritaire de modernisation ainsi que les dynamiques sociales et les tensions qui en résultent. Notre réflexion s’est constituée autour d’un deuxième axe, à savoir le rapport complexe qu’entretient le régime autoritaire tunisien avec la question féminine. Nous avons ainsi émis l’hypothèse que les raisons de l’engagement du régime dépassent la simple émancipation des femmes ou l’instauration d’une égalité entre les sexes pour s’inscrire dans une logique de contrôle, de répression, et dans un rapport clientéliste. Cette partie constitue une critique du féminisme d’État en Tunisie et de la manière avec laquelle il monopolise la question féminine. Nous en sommes venus à analyser la monopolisation de la cause féminine par le régime tunisien ainsi que les réactions et/ou les mobilisations des femmes et leur opposition à cette politique féministe autoritaire. / The research conducted in this study is part of the analysis of state voluntarism in accelerating the process of equality between women and men. Our starting postulate is that the emancipation of women in Tunisia comes from a political will, driven from the top by the Tunisian power through a legal reform. We are defending the idea that the link between the state and the women's issue in Tunisia remains inseparable. The liberation of Tunisian women has been directed by state as part of an authoritarian regime, therefore we thought it was important trying to understand and explain the paradoxes of this authoritarian project of modernization along with social dynamics and tensions resulting from it. Our reflection was built around a second approach, that is the complex link between the Tunisian authoritarian regime and the women’s issue. We thus hypothesized that the reasons for the regime's commitment go over the simple emancipation of women or the establishment of gender equality in order to fit into a logic of control, repression, and in a clientelist relation. This part forms a criticism of the state feminism and of the way it monopolizes the women’s issue. We finally analyzed how the Tunisian regime monopolize the women's cause and we studied the reactions and / or mobilizations of women as well as their opposition to this authoritarian feminist policy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among cultural/spiritual beliefs, risk behaviors, and disclosure among Hispanic/Latino men who have sex with men and women (MSMW). Minority men who have sex with men are disproportionately affected by HIV, in particular MSM who are Hispanic/Latino or African American. Limited research is available on the link between Hispanic/Latino MSMW, their cultural/spiritual beliefs, risk behavior, and disclosure about risk behaviors to friends and family. The data were obtained from the SJS Project, which used survey methods to gather data on participants from all 50 states and Puerto Rico. Among the participants in this project, 354 indicated that Hispanic/Latino was their only race/ethnicity, 264 identified as gay (MSM), 23 identified as bisexual (MSMW) and 67 identified as some other sexuality, and thus were not included in the analysis. Chi-square analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data and test the hypotheses. Among the bisexual group, the results showed no relationship between the independent variable, cultural/spiritual beliefs, and the dependent variable, disclosure. Among the gay group, the results showed a moderate relationship on one item of the independent variable, cultural/spiritual belief, and one item of the dependent variable, self-disclosure. Thus there is a relationship between disclosing to friends, family and the neighborhood and feeling supported by family among the gay group. It is expected that these findings will inform public health practitioners who have an interest in creating and implementing HIV prevention programs geared toward the Hispanic/Latino members of the LGBT community and Hispanics/Latinos.

Bakgrund: Muskeldysmorfi (MD) är en psykologisk störning som kännetecknas avatt en person är tvångsmässigt bekymrad över sin upplevda brist på muskulatur. MDkan ha betydande negativa effekter på en persons liv, vilket kan leda till socialisolering, ökad risk för missbruk och psykisk ohälsa. Ännu finns det inga studiersom tagit upp muskeldysmorfi hos den svenska befolkningen. Syfte: Syftet medstudien var att undersöka hur vanligt det är med muskeldysmorfi hos personer somstyrketränar. Metod: Metoden som användes var en kvantitativ forskningsmetod(enkät) och studiedesignen för denna studie var en tvärsnittsstudie. Antropometriskamått, tränings- och fysisk aktivitetbakgrund, kosttillskott, sociala medier och MuscleDysmorphic Disorder Inventory (MDDI) användes som mätinstrument i dennastudie. Resultat: Resultaten visade att 21,6% av deltagarna uppfyllde dediagnostiska kriterierna av MD. Manliga deltagare (n = 54) var i genomsnitt yngreän de kvinnliga deltagarna (n = 20). Männen var även tyngre, längre och hade högreBMI än kvinnorna. Resultaten visade inga statistiskt signifikanta skillnader mellandeltagare utan symtom och deltagare med symtom av MD i träningsbakgrund,användning av sociala medier och kosttillskott. Resultaten visade inte heller någrastatistiskt signifikanta skillnader mellan män (34.28±7.37) och kvinnor (31.60 ±6.57) av MD- symtom. Konklusion: Sammanfattningsvis visade studien vilkasymtom som varit mest prevalenta inom MDDI. Resultaten gick i linje med tidigareforskning som belyst MD:s negativa inverkan på individens fysiska självvärde,psykiska hälsa, inklusive ökad risk för depression och ångest. / Background: Muscle dysmorphia (MD) is a psychological disorder characterizedby a person being obsessively concerned about their perceived lack of muscularity.MD can have significant negative effects on a person's life, leading to socialisolation, increased risk of substance abuse and mental health problems. So far,there are no studies addressing muscle dysmorphia in the Swedish population.Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of muscledysmorphia in people who do strength training. Method: The method used was aquantitative research method (questionnaire) and the study design for this study wasa cross-sectional study. Anthropometric measures, exercise and physical activitybackground, dietary supplements, social media, and the Muscle DysmorphicDisorder Inventory (MDDI) were used as measurement instruments in this study.Results: Results showed that 21.6% of participants met the diagnostic criteria ofMD. Male participants (n = 54) were on average younger than the femaleparticipants (n = 20). The men were also heavier, taller and had a higher BMI thanthe women. The results showed no statistically significant differences betweenparticipants without symptoms and participants with symptoms of MD in exercisebackground, social media use and dietary supplements. The results also showed nostatistically significant differences between men (34.28±7.37) and women(31.60±6.57) of MD symptoms. Conclusion: In summary, the study showed whichsymptoms were most prevalent in MDDI. The results were in line with previousresearch highlighting the negative impact of MD on the individual's physical selfworth, mental health, including increased risk of depression and anxiety.

Le Traité des Neuf Preux et des Neuf Preuses, composé entre 1460 et 1468 par Sébastien Mamerot pour son seigneur Louis de Laval, nous est parvenu dans un exemplaire unique, richement enluminé (ÖNB, cod. 2577-2578). Ce travail vise à fournir une étude de ce texte inédit ainsi qu’une édition partielle. Le motif des Neuf Preux et des Neuf Preuses se développe dans la littérature et les arts figuratifs à partir d'un passage des Vœux du paon de Jacques de Longuyon. Suite au succès des œuvres de Boccace et de la thématique des hommes et femmes illustres, naissent trois compilations, organisées sur le principe de la collection de biographies et exclusivement consacrées aux Neuf Preux. Le texte de Sébastien Mamerot est le premier de ces trois textes, plus ou moins contemporains, mais indépendants. Par ailleurs, il est le seul à accorder une place aux Preuses. Alors que le motif est souvent réduit à l'évocation d'une liste de noms, ces textes constituent de vastes compilations historiques retraçant la généalogie et les hauts faits des neuf héros et héroïnes. Véritables livres-bibliothèques, puisqu'ils comportent une biographie de plusieurs des figures de prédilection du Moyen Âge, ces textes nous permettent d'avoir un certain regard sur les œuvres des siècles précédents et leur faveur au XVe s., nous fournissant un véritable guide des lectures historiques de l'époque. Le Traité des Neuf Preux et des Neuf Preuses se trouve au carrefour d'influences culturelles et littéraires diverses : la volonté de mettre par écrit et de redonner chair à ces listes de personnages bien connus en écrivant leurs vies incarne la sensibilité de l'époque aux liens entre renommée, écriture et mémoire. / Le Traité des Neuf Preux et des Neuf Preuses, written between 1460 and 1468 by Sébastien Mamerot for his lord Louis de Laval, has survived in only one manuscript, richly illuminated. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a commentary of this text as well as a partial critical edition. The topos of the Nine Worthies and Nine Worthy Women spread through literature and the figurative arts from the Vœux du paon by Jacques de Longuyon. Following the success of Boccaccio's works and that of the Famous Men and Women theme, three compilations devoted to the Worthies were written, organised as collections of biographies. Sébastien Mamerot's text is the first of these three works that, although more or less contemporary, are nonetheless independent from each other. Moreover his is the only one to deal with the Nine Worthy Women. Whereas the topos of the Nine Worthies is often reduced to a list of names, these texts consist of vast historical compilations telling the genealogy and high deeds of the heroes and heroines. Each book is like a small library in so far as it contains biographies of some of the favourite figures of the Middle Ages; through them we can have an outlook on the reception in the XVth century of the works from the previous centuries which enables us to establish a guide of the favourite historical books read at the time. Le Traité des Neuf Preux et des Neuf Preuses is at the crossroads of different cultural and literary influences: filling in those well-known names by telling their lives embodies the late medieval sensibility to the links existing between fame, writing and memory.

Analisa a participação de homens e mulheres negros no processo de desmonte da escravidão e de conquista da liberdade antes da Abolição e no pós-abolição no município de São Carlos-SP. A historiografia sobre a participação dos negros no processo de extinção do sistema escravista no Brasil vem se tornando cada vez mais vasta e percebendo-os a partir de uma perspectiva não passiva. Mesmo assim, ainda são praticamente desconhecidas as formas pelas quais o negro organizou sua vida após a liberdade. Através da documentação primária, de recursos da história oral e da análise do território urbano de ocupação negra, são cotejados os aspectos culturais, sociais e simbólicos, que permitem conhecer as lutas, conquistas e trajetórias de vida desses sujeitos. Toma por base os principais teóricos da história social que se debruçam sobre a abolição e pós-abolição no Brasil, entre eles, Robert Slenes, Maria Helena Machado, Maria Odila Leite, Sidney Chalhoub, Ana Lugão Rios, Hebe Mattos e Walter Fraga Filho. Sendo assim, investiga e analisa as estratégias de sobrevivência da população negra no espaço urbano de São Carlos, com o objetivo de reconstruir suas histórias, partindo da hipótese de participação ativa desses atores no processo de conquista e manutenção da liberdade. / This thesis analyzes black men and women transition from slavery to freedom in the city of São Carlos (São Paulo), before and after abolishing of slavery. The historiography about participation of blacks in Brazil\'s disintegrating slavery is increasingly expanding, also from a non-passive perspective. Even though, the way which blacks organized their life after freedom is still little known. Through primary documentation, oral history resources and black urban territory occupation analysis, cultural, social and symbolic aspects related to struggles, achievements and individual trajectories are highlighted. The analysis is based on social history theorists such as Robert Slenes, Maria Helena Machado, Maria Odila Leite, Sidney Chalhoub, Ana Lugão Rios, Hebe Mattos and Walter Fraga Filho, which deal with Brazils abolition and post-abolition. Therefore, assuming that blacks were active in the achievement and maintenance of freedom, in order to rebuild their stories, the thesis investigates and analyzes their strategies of survival in Sao Carlos\'s urban space.

<p>The principle purpose of this thesis has been to study and analyse the conception of men and women in business bankruptcy during the 20th century. The analysis is built on a theoretical gender perspective and, combining this view and business and bankruptcy research, the thesis has focused on five themes: business networks, bank contacts, business competence, business characteristics and finally bankruptcy causes. These themes have been in focus when analysing bankruptcies in Uppsala 1920-1939, 1988, 1992 and 1996. A questionnair- and interview study with receivers active in Sweden 2001 has also been carried out. From the bankruptcy cases that have been studied, no specific gender differences have really been discovered. There were some variations between men and women, but it is very hard to claim that these are related to the sex of the debtor more than to the branch or to the individuals. Changes from the inter-war period to the latter part of the 20th century are in these respects also small. The image that the receivers gave through the questionnaire and interview study indicates on the other hand that there existed a conception that men and women seemed different as business owners. It is obvious that there were many receivers who thought that women were different from men in a situation of business bankruptcy, even though several of them stated that they did not beleive in any gender differences.</p>

En stor del av en individs liv består av arbete och fritid. Ett konstaterade är att arbete och lärande handlar om att utveckla copingstrategier som individen behöver för att framgångsrikt kunna hantera och följa den växande förändringen i samhället som kan förebygga faror för ohälsa i individens arbetslivs- samt fritidsmiljö och stärka individernas balans mot de situationer som kan uppstå i den livsmiljön de befinner sig i. Studiens syfte var att undersöka om människor upplevde stress på fritiden och arbetet och i så fall om det påverkade arbetsprestationen samt om det är fritiden eller arbetet som upplevdes skapa stress. Ville även identifiera vilka copingstrategier som kunde optimera balansen för den enskilda individen och på så sätt stärka individens arbetsprestation. Metoden är enkätstudie. Urvalet var 410 personer på offentlig förvaltning av dessa valdes 80 personer slumpmässigt ut att delta i studien. Resultatet visade att 72 procent av medarbetarna hade känt sig stressade den senaste månaden, 60 procent uppgav att den arbetsrelaterade stressen påverkade deras arbetsprestation negativt, av de som hade kontorstjänst uppgav 50 procent att den arbetsrelaterade stressen påverkade deras arbetsprestation motsvarande svar för de med praktisk tjänst var 74 procent. 50 procent av kvinnorna och 34 procent av männen upplevde att stressen på fritiden påverkade arbetsprestationen. 92 procent uppgav att de sökte efter copingstrategier då de upplevde stress. / A large part of an individual's life consists of work and leisure. One noted that work and learning is about developing copingstrategies that an individual needs to successfully manage and track the growing changes in society that can prevent hazards to health in the individual's working life and leisure environment and strengthen the individual's balance against the situations that may arise in the habitat they are in. The study's purpose was to examine whether people felt stress free time and work, and if so, whether it affects work performance and whether it is leisure or work that was perceived create stress. Wanted also to identify the copingstrategies that could optimize the balance for the individual and thus strengthen the individual work performance. The method is questionnaire survey. The sample was 410 persons on public management of these, 80 people were randomly selected to participate in the study. The results showed that 72 percent of employees had felt stressed in the past month, 60 percent reported that work-related stress affected their job performance negatively, of those who had office services said 50 percent of work-related stress affected their job performance corresponding responses for those with practical services were 74 percent. 50 percent of women and 34 percent of men felt that the stress in your spare time affect work performance. 92 percent reported that they were looking for copingstrategies when they experienced stress.
