Several theories have developed in an attempt to understand how personality characteristics impact on occupational behavior. In contemplating occupational choice some theorists have utilized a psychoanalytic approach in viewing occupational choice as an appropriate way of blending the pleasure and reality principles. Other theorists have interpreted occupational choice as a means of fulfilling certain needs. The present study focused on the interpersonal needs of Inclusion, Control and Affection. It was proposed that these interpersonal needs play an integral role in one's choice of occupation. The study focused on three vocational interest categories—Realistic, Enterprising and Conventional. The subjects were male applicants for one of the following occupations (each representative of one of the three previously mentioned vocational interest areas), project manager at a construction site, restaurant manager and accountant. The total number of subjects was 288. Specifically, the present study investigated the presence of an orientation towards persons and an orientation away from persons and the impact of this on occupational choice. The study also attempted to extract three factors representing Inclusion, Control and Affection from an array of personality scales. The results supported the presence of a towards person orientation; however, an away from person orientation was not clearly differentiated. Similarly, a factor representing Inclusion was derived but the results failed to find factors representing Control and Affection. Results indicated a positive relationship between a subject's overt choice of an Enterprising occupation and measured interest. It was hypothesized that subjects with Enterprising vocational interest would have greater overall interpersonal needs than subjects with Conventional or Realistic interests. This hypothesis was not supported. However, further analyses revealed that subjects with an application choice for a restaurant manager's job had a higher need to exert Control than did the other subjects. Support was not found for the hypothesis that subjects with a measured interest for Enterprising occupations would have greater overall interpersonal needs than the other subjects. Further analyses revealed that subjects with Realistic measured interest had a lower need to exert Control, than did the other subjects.

This diploma thesis deals with the functioning of the labor market in the Czech Republic its status, development and related concept of lifelong learning and effective use of human capital. The introductory chapters focus on the theoretical definitions of the terms dealing with the concept of lifelong learning and offer a summary of current labor market situation including some statistics. The following part is specifically devoted to defining the National system of occupations and National system of qualifications. These systems are currently being put into practice to increase the effect of the labor market functions and to fulfill the vision of efficient use of human capital. With these systems is also connected to the European system of qualifications which is described in the following chapter. The final sections deal with the functioning of already established processes including the stage of completion. In these chapters I evaluated the effect of the real market and assessed the development of their implementation. Here I took into an account the role of educational and employment agencies and their impact on the successful fulfillment of the meaning of the whole project. This chapter is an analysis of subsequent developments and the effect on the entire market. It also includes a model of the Czech labor market, assuming successful incorporation of both systems and their functions in society.

Magister Commercii - MCom / North Korea has against the numerous warnings of the international community, protocols and sanctions tested nuclear and missile devices. The purpose of this study is to explain how the political ideology of Juche informs North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme. Using a qualitative analysis, this study analyzed the origin of Juche and its impact on North Korea’s foreign and nuclear policies through the years. The social values underlying Juche were found to be the foundation of North Korea’s nuclear and missile ambitions. Juche itself has evolved as a framework that informs North Korea’s international relations and the study traces this evolution through the different Kim presidencies.

“Ocean Bombay” is a social history of a colonial city of itinerants. Between 1839 and 1937 the actions of the British Indian colonial state and itinerancy upon one another shaped both the borders of the newly independent nations in 1947 and the changing notions of community and human relationship with space in the South Asian subcontinent. This dissertation charts the story of that development by studying itinerant groups staking their belonging to communities and space in colonial, port Bombay: Sidi shipworkers, Bombay-Aden merchants, Irani cafe owners, nomadic groups, publishers, filmmakers, and actresses. In doing so I intervene in the urban historiography of the city by writing about Bombay’s forgotten transoceanic past as a port city straddling the transformation of the subcontinent from colonial state to nation-state. Further, I rethink the concepts of “community” and border-making as used in South Asian historical and theoretical thinking by examining them through the lens of itinerancy and gender. “Ocean Bombay” thus locates Bombay society at the intersection of several oceanic geographies, through the study of an archive built from fragments and interviews collected across India, the United Kingdom, and Iran.

Por meio da integração de algumas variáveis que, a princípio, sob uma observação assistemática, não apresentariam relações diretas entre si, procurou-se evidenciar as razões da rápida ocupação do território municipal de Itapecerica da Serra e os tipos de uso que ali se têm estabelecido. Uma variável central refere-se à evolução do preço de mercado dos imóveis, caracterizada por uma desvalorização generalizada. A desvalorização estaria relacionada com equívocos gerados pela legislação ambiental e também com um processo de exclusão social que se manifesta sob forma de Segregação territorial que caracteriza a Região Metropolitana de São Paulo. Evidências favoráveis aos argumentos formulados são encontradas na arrecadação de IPTU, contraposta com a evolução demográfica do Município. Considerou-se também o acelerado aumento dos índices de criminalidade, tanto como um reflexo da segregação territorial como mais um fator explicativo da desvalorização imobiliária. / The work intends to integrate some factors, which could seem unrelated if viewed unsystematically, trying to explain the fast occupation of Itapecerica da Serra’s town territory and the specific uses of the land established in the area. One main factor concerns the real state price variability, which indicates a general devaluation. This devaluation is influenced both by mistakes generated due to environmental law bills and by the process of social exclusion on the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo, characterized by territorial segregation. The analysis and comparison of the city IPTU –Urban Construction and Territory Tax- with the data of the city demographic evolution gives evidences which contribute with the arguments proposed. The fast increase of criminality levels has also been considered, both as a reflex of the territorial segregation and as one more factor to explain the real state devaluation.

Esta dissertação de mestrado põe em questão o morrer, verbo tão elástico que confunde-se com a própria vida. Partindo do pressuposto que o morrer é um processo que cabe aos vivos e, por isso, é atravessado pelas relações do sujeito com a verdade, o seguinte trabalho pretende analisar, a partir do instante presente, como a sociedade moderna ocidental se organizou para dar conta dos infinitos mistérios que a morte desperta nos indivíduos em paralelo com o projeto de governo do Estado de gestão e controle da população, a partir das práticas biopolíticas e da legitimidade do saber médico que prescreve o que é uma vida, quais são os valores que a determinam e sob que códigos e condutas os seres devem se submeter para serem considerados existentes. Aliado ao filósofo Michel Foucault e Giorgio Agamben, propõe-se um percurso sinuoso da emergência do racismo biológico e do racismo de Estado para refletir sobre os grandes genocídios do século XX, sob a perspectiva de uma Tanatopolítica. Através do recurso do ensaio, este trabalho provocará a pergunta: como escrever sobre algo que não se fala O ensaio, mais do que um método, é um artesania capaz de costurar o tempo e a história em busca do passado de nossas verdades presentes e um convite ao leitor a um livre flanar pelos rastros de um conhecimento subsumido das cátedras acadêmicas, mas que clama por sua palavra e seu sepultamento. Ensaiar é permitir, também, que a ficção, a poesia e a literatura entrem pela porta da frente na obstinação do saber. Se a ciência moderna carece de evidências acerca do morrer e seus processos, o ensaio responde, sem ferir os mistérios do mundo, com mais questões que permitem criar outras realidades, fora das instituídas. Junto com Walter Benjamin, Jorge Larrosa, Peter Pal Pelbart e outros filósofos, a dissertação problematiza a distância entre a pesquisa e a militância, flertando com o saber morrer e apostando no luto enquanto luta, ensaiando outras maneiras de dar sentido a ausência com a inventividade política dos movimentos de ocupação atuais para fazer frente ao projeto biopolítico. / This master's dissertation questions dying: a verb so elastic that it is confused with life itself. Based on the assumption that dying is a process that belongs to the living and is therefore crossed by the subject's relations with the truth, the following work intends to analyze, from the present moment, how modern Western society organized itself to address the infinite mysteries that death awakens in the individuals in parallel with the state governor's project of management and control of the population, from the biopolitical practices and the legitimacy of the medical knowledge that prescribes what a life is, what the values that determine it are and under what codes and behaviors living beings must undergo to be considered existing. Allied with the philosophers Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben, it is proposed a sinuous route of the emergence of the biological racism and the racism of State to reflect on the great genocides of century XX, from the perspective of Tanatopolitics. This work will provoke the question in the form of an essay: how do we write about something that is not spoken The essay, more than a method, is a craft capable of sewing time and history in search of the past of our present truths and an invitation to the reader to a free walk through the traces of a subsumed knowledge of academic chairs, but that claims by its word and its burial. Essaying is to allow, also, that fiction, poetry, and literature enter the front door in the obstinacy of knowledge. If modern science lacks evidence about dying and its processes, this essay responds, without hurting the mysteries of the world, with more questions that enable us to create other realities, other than those instituted. Along with Walter Benjamin, Jorge Larrosa, Peter Pal Pelbart, and other philosophers, this dissertation problematizes the distance between research and militancy, flirting with the acceptance of dying, and betting on mourning while fighting, essaying other ways to make sense of absence with the political inventiveness of the current occupation movements facing the biopolitical project.

Syftet med studien är att ge en överblick av begreppet spiritualitet genom att sammanfatta och beskriva det vetenskapliga kunskapsläget inom arbetsterapeutisk forskning. Som metod valdes en litteraturöversikt. I studien ingick 12 vetenskapliga artiklar som var både kvalitativa och teoretiska. Artiklarna söktes i Luleå universitetsbibliotek databaser. Utöver det genomfördes en manuell sökning. Resultatet visar på fyra huvudkategorier med underkategorier. Huvudkategorierna var; Spiritualitet ger mening och mål, Spiritualitet ger support och stöd, Spiritualitet som drivkraft till aktiviteter och Spiritualitet som grund till känslor. Resultatet visar att spiritualitet samspelar med den inre känslan hos en människa och det yttre görandet i en aktivitet. Spiritualitet har betydelse oavsett om trossystem finns eller inte. Slutsatsen av studien visar att spiritualitet är viktigt för människan. Det är av vikt att involvera spiritualitet i klientmötet för arbetsterapeuten eftersom spiritualitet är en viktig del för holism och humanism och som var för sig är grundläggande värdegrund för arbetsterapi. / The purpose of the study is to provide an overview of the concept spirituality by summarizing and describing the state of scientific knowledge in occupational therapy research. As method the study was designed as a literature review. The study included 12 scientific articles that were both qualitative and theoretical. Articles were searched in databases of library in Luleå University of Technology. In addition a manual search was conducted. The results show four major categories with subcategories. The main categories were: Spirituality gives meaning and purpose, Spirituality gives support and assistance, Spirituality as a force to activities and Spirituality as a foundation to emotions. The result shows that spirituality interacts with both the inner feeling within a human being and the external performance of an activity. Spirituality is important regardless of whether a belief system exists or not. The conclusion of the study shows that spirituality is important for humans. It is important to involve spirituality in a client meeting for the occupational therapists because spirituality is an important part of holism and humanism and separately is fundamental ideals for occupational.

Les structures des urgences (SU) sont une porte d'entrée importante de l'hôpital, fortes d'un personnel dont les capacités progressent et aidées par un plateau technique hospitalier de qualité. Dès son arrivée en SU, la prise en charge du patient s'inscrit dans un circuit qui a pour objectif l'optimisation des soins. Ce circuit patient peut être ralenti ou altéré lorsqu'il y a une surcharge de la SU, c'est-à-dire lorsque les capacités de celle-ci sont dépassées par le nombre de patients en attente d'être vu, d'évaluation, de traitement et de place d'hospitalisation. La surcharge des SU est associée à de nombreux effets indésirables et il est démontré que l'origine de cette surcharge est multifactorielle. Pour y trouver des solutions, il convient d'examiner la surcharge dans la globalité de l'institution hospitalière et du système de soins. L'objectif de ce travail est de décrire le circuit du patient de son arrivée en SU jusqu'à son départ et, parfois, son retour. Chaque article de ce travail, constituant autant d'étapes dans le circuit patient, place en perspective la surcharge de la SU ou de l'institution dans sa globalité. Cet ensemble d'articles souligne la complexité de la problématique et la nécessaire mobilisation de toute l'institution pour y répondre. / Emergency departments (ED) are an important front gate of the hospital with strong skill staff and helped by a high quality technical platform. After his/her arrival at the hospital, the patient follow a pathway which aims to optimize the healthcare. This patient's pathway may be slowed down or alter when there is an overcrowding of the ED, when capacities are exceeded by the number of patients to be seen, evaluated, treated, and to hospitalize. ED overcrowding is associated with many adverse effects and it is shown that the origin of this overcrowding is multifactorial. To find solutions, we must observe overcrowding in the whole of the hospital institution and of the healthcare system. The aim of this thesis is to describe the patient's pathway from his/her arrival at the ED to his/her departure, and sometimes his/her come back. Each article of this thesis represents a step of the patient's pathway. Then, the overcrowding of the ED, or of the hospital, is studied in its entirety. This collection of articles highlights the complexity of the issue and the need to mobilize the whole institution to respond.
