Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur en grupp personer med bipolär sjukdom upplever att de blivit bemötta av socialsekreterare på socialtjänsten samt undersöka om det fanns något enligt dessa personer som kunde förändras i bemötandet. Den insamlade datan är från fyra fokuserade, semistrukturerade chattinterjvuer, där urvalet bestått av personer med bipolär sjukdom som har haft kontakt med socialtjänsten. Det viktigaste resultatet som framkommit från den insamlade datan i relation till syfte och frågeställningar, är att stigmatisering gentemot vissa intervjupersoner förekommer i deras möten med socialsekreterare. Dock har en del intervjupersoner också upplevt ett professionellt bemötande där en öppen dialog har funnits. Intervjupersonerna tycker att bemötandet kan förändras genom bättre lyhördhet, förberedelser, mer personlig stöttning och bättre individanpassade åtgärder. / The purpose of this study was to investigate how a group of people with bipolar disorder finds that they have been treated by social security officers in the social services and investigate if there were any things that could change in the treatment. The collected data is from four focused, semi structured, chat interviews, where the selection consisted of people with bipolar disorder who have had contact with social services. The most important result from the collected data in relation to purpose and questions is that stigmatization towards certain interviewees occurs in their meetings with social security officers. However, some interviewees have also experienced a professional response where an open dialogue has existed. Those who have been interviewed think that the response can change through better responsiveness, preparation, more personal support and better individualized actions.

Regarding the methodology, this study proceed an systematic review with 24 articles on physical activity and health of the public security officials published in the last five years who met criteria for inclusion and exclusion; was conducted a survey of the medical records relating, to physical activity to health care and treatment of Military Police Officer, of reserve and of active, available between 2001 and 2011, in a random sample of 496 cases, which were analyzed by calculation differences of 95% confidence intervals (95%) and associations tested with bivariate logistic regression with backward elimination; were applied questionnaires accepted worldwide in 526 subjects randomly selected from the Military Police Officers in treatment or care at the Military Police Hospital Commander Lara Ribas, in which the results were analyzed using multiple regressions. Based on systematic review, can be conclude that national studies are mainly about physical and psychological conditions and international studies are principally about problems resulting from stress. Based on the cases studied the medical records, we can conclude that most of the subjects cared or treated at the Military Police Hospital Commander Lara Ribas have mean body mass index of 26.1 kg/m², which reported beneficial factors and detrimental to individual health, which occupational diseases that predominate are of type injury, poisoning and other consequences of external causes among the welded, and anxiety and sleep disorders among the officers, and that 94.4% of the police officers reported physical activity. Based on empirical data, we can conclude that most of the Military Police is male, mean age 30.5 years, working 4.7 days a week and 697.9 minutes per day, that have high school and universitary, have normal weight, not smoke, showing signs of stress, are physically active and the subjects with lower household physical activity and reduced occurrence of depression tend to have higher values of general health, which predominates in most sub domains conditions health. / Esta pesquisa investigou as relações entre inatividade física, condições de saúde e comorbidades em policiais militares em situação de atendimento ou tratamento de saúde do Estado de Santa Catarina. Quanto à metodologia, o estudo foi realizado por meio de revisão sistemática, cujo resultado foi proveniente de 24 artigos nacionais e internacionais sobre a atividade física e saúde em agentes de Segurança Pública, os quais foram publicados nos últimos cinco anos e atenderam aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão; de levantamento dos prontuários médicos referentes aos atendimentos e tratamentos de saúde em policiais militares, da reserva e da ativa, disponíveis entre os anos de 2001 e 2011, em uma amostra aleatória de 496 casos analisados por meio de cálculo de diferenças, de intervalos de confiança 95% (IC95%) e associações testadas com regressão logística bivariada com eliminação retrógrada; e ainda de aplicação de questionários em 526 sujeitos, aleatoriamente selecionados entre os policiais militares em tratamento ou em atendimento no Hospital da Polícia Militar Comandante Lara Ribas, que foram analisados por meio de regressão múltipla. Com base na revisão sistemática, pode-se concluir que os estudos nacionais tratam principalmente das questões físicas e psíquicas e os internacionais sobre os problemas decorrentes do estresse. De acordo com os casos pesquisados nos prontuários médicos, conclui-se que a maioria dos sujeitos atendidos ou tratados no Hospital da Polícia Militar Comandante Lara Ribas são praças, com média do índice de massa corporal de 26,1 kg/m², que relatam fatores benéficos e maléficos à saúde individual, predominando as patologias ocupacionais do tipo lesões, envenenamentos e outras consequências de causas externas entre os praças e os transtornos de ansiedade e do sono entre os oficiais. Com base nos dados empíricos, pode-se concluir ainda que a maioria dos policiais militares é do sexo masculino, com média de idade de 30,5 anos, trabalha 4,7 dias por semana e 697,9 minutos por dia, possui nível médio e superior, apresenta peso normal, não fuma, apresenta sinais de estresse e é ativa fisicamente. As associações apontam que os sujeitos adultos tendem a relatar menos a prática de atividade física e os com menor atividade física doméstica e menor ocorrência de depressão tendem a ter maiores valores de saúde geral, a qual predomina na maioria dos subdomínios das condições de saúde.

Doctrines are by nature dogmatic and academic education is by nature skeptic. As the two perspectivesare opposites to each other it would be plausible to assume that the nature of their contradictionwould exist between doctrines and military academic education. Though no research has been madeon how or to what extent these contradictions exist.This thesis aims therefore to investigate the relation between Swedish doctrines and military academiceducation from dogmatic and skeptical perspectives. Consequently, explaining to what extentthey correspond to one another and how they can be compared. The result reveals that Swedish doctrines generally correspond to military academic education to alow degree, where deviations may range from very low to moderate. The analysis further displaysstrong multifaceted dissonance in their correspondence to one another, but also within Swedish doctrinesand military academic education separately.

I den här artikeln undersöks implementationen av ett ärende och handläggningssystem kallat Platina vid Länsstyrelsen i Västerbotten. Problematik med implementationen identifieras genom intervjuer och observationer med anställda vid myndigheten. Undersökningarna leder till slutsatsen att myndigheten inte har fått ett färdigt system utan ett som kräver fortsatt utveckling innan det uppfyller de krav som ställs på det. Det finns även en risk att utvecklingen av systemet inom myndigheten läggs ner på grund av organisationsförändringar. / This article researches the implementation of a case and workflow system called Platina at the County Administrative Board in Västerbotten County. Problems with the implementation were identified through interviews and observations with employees. The empiric studies showed that the County Administrative Board did not get a fully functional system, but in fact a system that demands continued development to meet the expected demands. There is also a risk that the development of the system will be aborted due to organizational changes.

Ett allt vanligare fenomen i dagens arbetsliv är att tjänsteproduktion organiseras efter modeller som i grunden är anpassade för varuproduktion. En av dessa organisationsmodeller är Lean, som har implementerats inom Försäkringskassan. Försäkringskassans byråkratiska organisation har därmed struktureras upp i ännu fler regler, rutiner och processer. Finns det något utrymme för lärande i en sådan organisation? Denna studie har som ambition att bidra till en ökad förståelse för hur lärande i det dagliga arbetet uppstår i en byråkratisk organisation där regler och rutiner är en del av jobbet. Syftet är att belysa personliga handläggares upplevelse av lärande i det dagliga arbetet. Utifrån syftet har följande frågeställningar formulerats; Hur upplever handläggare att styrande rutiner för arbetets utförande inverkar på deras lärande? Hur upplever handläggare att de lär sig av sina kollegor? I vilken utsträckning upplever handläggare att lärande sker över det egna teamets gränser? Studien bygger på en kvalitativ metodansats och åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med handläggare på försäkringskassan. Det empiriska materialet har analyserats utifrån Wengers teori om Communities of Practice. Resultatet visar att regler och rutiner används för att fylla kunskapsluckor och därmed bidrar till lärande. Handläggare lär också i det dagliga arbetet genom social interaktion som bland annat uppstår vid informella diskussioner och formella möten. Interaktionen leder till ett erfarenhetsutbyte mellan kollegor. Genom att ta del av andra myndigheters eller individers erfarenheter och kompetens har handläggarna möjlighet att utveckla ett lärande över gränser. Dock skiljer sig handläggarnas uppfattningar när det kommer till kunskaps- och erfarenhetsutbyte med aktörer utanför Försäkringskassan. / An increasingly common phenomenon in today's working life is that the production of services is organized through production models that originally was created to organize the production of things. One of these organizational models is Lean, which has been implemented within the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. This bureaucratic organization has thus been structured into even more rules, procedures and processes. Is there any room for learning in such an organization? This study is an attempt to contribute to an understanding of how learning in daily work occurs in a regulated organization where rules and procedures are part of the job. The aim of the study is to investigate the social insurance officers personal experience of learning in the daily work. To answer the purpose of the study the following questions has been formulated; How do social insurance officers experience that common routine descriptions of work design influence their learning? How do social insurance officers experience that they learn from their colleagues? To what extent do social insurance officers experience learning over the boundaries of their own team? The study is based on a qualitative method using eight semi-structured interviews with social insurance officers at the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. The empirical data has been analyzed from Wengers theory Communities of practice. The result shows that rules and procedures are used to fill knowledge gaps and thus contribute to learning. The social insurance officers also learn in daily work through social interaction by informal discussions and formal meetings. By studying other authorities or individuals' experiences, the social insurance officers can develop cross-border learning. However, the perceptions of the social insurance officers differ when it comes to knowledge and experience exchange with actors outside the Swedish Social Insurance Agency.

The thesis seeks to understand, first and foremost, what the members of the 6th South African Armoured Division in Italy during the Second World War experienced in their day-to-day lives on campaign. It is therefore primarily a social history. Although an exhaustive analysis of the demographics of the division is beyond the scope of this study, an attempt was made in Chapter 2 to identify some of the characteristics of the volunteers and their motivations for enlisting. Recruitment statistics and other sources show that in the final stage of the war, volunteers were most likely to be school-leavers and university students. Chapters three to eight detail the daily life in camp and on the road as the division progressed up the length of Italy. The main themes revolve around the necessities of life, recreation, leisure and ways of dealing with long periods of inactivity. The more controversial topics of sexuality, alcohol use, and battle fatigue are not avoided. Regardless of the capacity in which they served, all those attached to the 6th South African Armoured Division experienced the country and its people. Homesickness, discomfort and the fulfilling of basic needs was the common bond. Chapter nine examines the topic of casualties and what it reveals about the men and their experience. At first glance, it would appear that the casualty rate was exceptionally low for a front line division. However, on closer examination, the casualty rate was found to be in line with that experienced by other nations involved in the Italian campaign. As expected, it was found that casualties occurred mainly in infantry units, although accidents accounted for 25 per cent of injuries. In the final chapter, the conclusions are presented and discussed in a theoretical context. Memory is used as a category of analysis. Scholars are in agreement that distortion and cleansing occurred due to the tendency of contemporary accounts to accentuate the positive. The needs of post-war society also helped to ensure that the language and experience of the front line soldier was overwhelmed / Thesis (DPhil)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / lk2014 / Historical and Heritage Studies / DPhil / Unrestricted

Doctor of Philosophy / Department of History / Donald J. Mrozek / This dissertation examines the development of the professional military studies curriculum at the United States Air Force Academy. The study explores the rationale behind establishing an Air Force Academy, along the lines similar to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point or the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. The quest for an additional academy emphasized the need for specialized training of air force cadets and creating a common bond for its future officer corps, rather than recognizing the necessity to equip them with a professional military education regarding warfare and how air power influences war, for example. This trend continued in the two main studies used to justify the Air Force Academy, as well as the development of the initial curriculum, where an integrated academic curriculum, one that emphasized both the sciences and engineering as well as the social sciences and humanities, placed any discussion of professional military studies on the back burner. The challenge of the Academy’s general academic curriculum on the cadet’s time left little room for the development of a strong, rigorous professional military studies program. However, the confluence of a cheating scandal at West Point and the resulting report, as well as a reflection during the 25th anniversary of the Academy’s founding in 1979, which developed questions on the professional military studies program within the curriculum, led to the establishment of a Permanent Professor within the Deputy Commandant for Military Instruction, and resulted in drastic changes to the curriculum for the cadets, specifically involving professional military studies. Today, the United States Air Force Academy has a Department of Military and Strategic Studies under the overall authority of the Dean of Faculty. This department has as its charter the role to provide “the study of the context, theory, and application of military power”—with special emphasis on the role of airpower to the art and science of war. The document that helps define the duty of the department also states that this necessary study for officer candidates constitutes “the essence of a military academy education” and, most certainly, the central core of a professional military studies program.

Peer reviewed literature currently provides little knowledge of how to recruit and train Doping Control Officers (DCOs) for Mega Sport Events. This study adds to the existing body of literature on creating knowledge transfer and legacy for future Mega Event Organizing Committees. A phenomenological designed study was conducted through the use of a qualitative on-line survey during the 2015 Toronto Pan American Games. A survey response rate of 58% was achieved. Survey responses by DCOs were analyzed using inductive coding to identify four main themes; i) DCO motivations, ii) training program design, iii) engagement and support, and iv) barriers to participation in the results. Recommendations include using mixed methods for future studies, provide DCOs with training and evaluation opportunities prior to the Mega Sport Event, and developing mentorship opportunities during games operations. Additional research is needed to create greater understanding of DCO motivations and perceptions beyond this study.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att utröna hur Karl XII har använts inom litteraturen under 1700, 1800 samt 1900-talet. Frågeställningarna som ska besvaras är ställda utifrån Karl XII:s personlighet, politiska förmåga som statsman och slutligen Karl XII:s egenskaper som en militär ledare.   Litteraturen som används för undersökningen speglar de verk som kom att bli mest uppmärksammade och uppskattade på det samhälleliga planet – då de kan antas haft den största inverkan på människorna i sin tid. Det förekommer litterära verk om sålts i miljontal, exempelvis Carl Grimbergs och Herman Lindqvists verk. Det verk som utgör starten för denna uppsats är skriven 1731 av François-Marie Arouet, Voltaire, som var en beundrare till den svenske kungen. Författaraktörerna byter av varandra och publicerar med en jämn ström under de följande århundradena.    Den tidigare forskning som ligger till grund för uppsatsen är författaren Eva Östbergs beskrivning av historiebruk – att historien är människans kollektiva förmåga att minnas och att glömma, vilket yttrar sig i historiebruk. Denna beskrivning av historiebruk utmynnar även till John Tosh´s beskrivning av ett socialt minne – vilket yttrar sig på liknande sätt. Författaren Klas-Göran Karlsson ger en förklaring till ett existentiellt historiebruk – vilket är ett resultat av att människor har ett medfött behov av att minnas. Till dessa begrepp kommer även Egeland och Johannissons teori för en koppling mellan kultur, plats och identitet att användas.   Den teoretiska ansatsen är att befästa Karl XII som en historisk aktör och byggsten i den svenska historien med utgångspunkt att detta skiftar i olika kontexter. Undersökningen ska utröna vilken plats författarna ger Karl XII som en historisk byggsten.

Le but de cette thèse consiste à démontrer que la rémunération des dirigeants est d'une nature contractuelle car l'ensemble des relations juridiques au sein de l'entreprise l’est. Il ne s'agit pas d'un postulat idéologique mais de la conséquence d’une déduction faite après avoir étudié la nature de l’ordre juridique français, à savoir une démocratie libérale où un Etat de droit-au sens moderne du terme-protège une économie de marché. Donc en présence d’une économie de marché, les relations inter-entreprises sont forcément des relations fondées sur le contrat. Par conséquent, toute rémunération de n’importe quel dirigeant de toute entreprise privée indépendamment de sa forme juridique (entreprise sociétaire personnifiée, non personnifiée, entreprise en nom) est forcément d’une nature conventionnelle. Reconnaître ce point de vue permettrait de faire une réforme du droit des sociétés et d’en finir avec la vision institutionnelle de l’entreprise qui est inexacte dans une économie où l’Etat n’est pas propriétaire des moyens de production. Aujourd’hui, les mandataires sociaux des grandes entreprises ont une rémunération parfois conséquente qui n’est pas véritablement contrôlée : ni par un contrôle institutionnel (défaillant car contre-nature), ni par une logique de marché (car non reconnue par beaucoup de juristes). / The remuneration of corporate officers is a highly publicized subject, particularly because of the impression, rightly or wrongly, of the important amounts received by corporate officers of numerous large companies. The legal relationship under which corporate officers perceive their remuneration does not appear to be precisely defined within the framework of positive law. There are two types distinct natures of remunerations. While one has a contractual nature, the other one is institutional by nature. The nature would depend on several criteria including the legal form of the company studied, whether the company is listed or not, and the type of remuneration paid. This analysis, inherited from the French corporate law history of the twentieth century, does not seem accurate to us. The private enterprise is first and foremost an economical reality, before being apprehended by the law. In a legal order such as ours, i.e. a liberal democracy and a market economy, the private enterprise, whether it is represented by a legal personality or not, is always structured by the private property and the contract. Property and exchange (through contracts) translate the principle of individual liberty within the civil law. The private enterprise of a legal order, which recognizes the economic freedoms, is first the exercise of the entrepreneurial freedom, alone or with others. Any power exercised within a private enterprise roots in a legal act of private law, generally a contract. The company with a legal person allows the realization of various legal effects, including the protection of the company assets. The legal autonomy of the company, authorized by law, should however not hide the fact that the company is not independent from those who founded it or their successors. The company officer, the one in charge of the company management, derives its power and remuneration from a contract. This remuneration, as the object of a contractual obligation, has always the same cause, i.e. the compensation for a management work, in the broad sense of the term.
