O trabalho apresentado configura-se como um estudo cientométrico cujo objetivo foi identificar a trajetória da Ciência da Informação no Brasil, a partir da análise das temáticas da produção dos Programas de Pós-Graduação da área. A pesquisa combinou elementos quantitativos e qualitativos, num estudo exploratório, de natureza aplicada, calcada no levantamento de dados documentais necessários à interpretação do problema estudado. Foram selecionadas para a análise 284 teses produzidas entre os anos de 2009 e 2015 nos Programas de Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Informação da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Universidade de Brasília (UNB), Universidade de São Paulo (USP) e Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Para a classificação das teses utilizou-se instrumento constituído de cinco categorias temáticas: 1. Fundamentos em Ciência da Informação, 2. Organização e Processamento da Informação, 3. Gestão da Informação, 4. Tecnologias da Informação e 5. Transferência da Informação. Os resultados demonstraram que no período analisado a categoria 1 concentrou o maior número de pesquisas (31%), seguida da categoria 2 (26%), categoria 5 (22%), categoria 3 (14%), e menor concentração na categoria 4 (7%). Apesar de concentrar o maior número de pesquisas, os Fundamentos da Ciência da Informação vêm se sustentando na legitimidade e autoridade científica conquistada pela Bibliometria e no argumento da Interdisciplinaridade dando pouca atenção às pesquisas teóricas e conceituais. As demais categorias demostraram resultados que corroboram pesquisas anteriores em que a Organização, Gestão e Transferência da informação configuram como temáticas mais investigadas na área. Conclui-se que as pesquisas da área ainda se mostram mais relacionada à solução de problemas da atividade profissional e menos voltada para a consolidação conceitual e epistemológica da própria área. / The work here presented is a Scientometrics study whose objective was to identify the historical trajectory of Information Science in Brazil by analyzing Graduate Courses\' themes in the field. The research combined quantitative and qualitative elements in a exploratory, applied study, built upon a survey of documentary data necessary to the interpretation of the studied problem. 284 dissertations from the years between 2009 and 2015 were selected from the graduate schools in the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), University of Brasília (UNB), University of São Paulo (USP) and São Paulo State University (UNESP). To classify the dissertations an instrument was used constituted of five thematic categories: 1. Fundamentals of Information Science, 2. Organization and Processing of Information, 3. Information Management, 4. Information Technology and 5. Information Transfer. The results show that, in the analyzed period, category 1 concentrated most of the research (31%), followed by category 2 (26%), category 5 (22%), category 3 (14%) and, with the lowest concentration, category 4 (7%). Although concentrating the greatest number of research, the fundamentals of Information Science sustains itself in the scientific legitimacy and authority acquired by Bibliometrics and in the argument of Interdisciplinarity, giving few attention to theoretical and conceptual research. The other categories show results that corroborate previous research where the Organization, Management and Transfer of Information were the most investigated themes in the field. The conclusion was that research in the field still relates itself more with solution of problems in professional activities and less with conceptual and epistemological consolidation of its own field.

This study examines the motivations and goals of Swedish free church pastors engaging in social work, as well as how pastors view their churches’ social commitment in relation to public social work. Seven semi structured interviews were conducted with eight pastors from six congregations in two counties in southern Sweden. The empirical data gathered was processed with thematical analysis, from which six themes were identified: Faith as a motivation, Practical Christianity, Denominational heritage, A better world, Spreading the faith and A compliment to the public sector. The results of the study were analyzed with Antonovsky’s theory of salutogenesis, with a focus on the concept Sense of coherence. The theory aims to explain why people stay healthy even though they meet hardship in life. The conclusions of the study are that the pastors are motivated by their faith in the Bible and in Jesus and how he met with people. The pastors’ goals with social commitments are to make a better world and for people to come to faith in Jesus. In relation to the public sector the pastors regard themselves as a compliment. / <p>Utfördes online via Zoom</p>

This study aims to gain an increased understanding of generalized anxiety disorder based on how the target group describe their experiences. The data was gathered through podcasts where people with GAD talked about their life situation, what strategies they use to manage general anxiety and what they think relieves general anxiety. The gathered data was then analyzed through a thematic analysis where four main themes were developed; a constant worry, managing stigma, controlling or avoiding and only relive, not cure. These themes were analyzed based on Goffman's theory of stigma and Gidden's theory of the risk society. The results show that people with GAD live with a constant anxiety that affects their entire life situation, such as their work, leisure, and social relationships. Their anxiety can be likened to an allergy to uncertainty as it´s triggered by something they cannot control. They feel stigmatized by others and feel that they often need to hide their stigma by living behind a facade. To deal with generalized anxiety, three different strategies are used, which are trying to control everything, avoiding anxiety by not exposing oneself to things that cause concern or by keeping oneself busy. However, these strategies can aggravate the condition but there are many things that can relieve general anxiety. The most prominent factors are medicine, therapy, emotional support and self-help such as exercise and meditation. But the results show that the symptoms persist despite great efforts and several treatments, which indicates that more research and more effective interventions are required. The study concludes that GAD is not only a problem that exists within the individual but also in interpersonal relationships and in the society. It also concludes that there must be a change in the structures of society regarding mental illness, and that interventions should not only be directed towards the individual but also towards the relatives. This because the results show that relatives are also affected and that their influence can both aggravate and improve the individual's condition. / Den här studien syftar till att få en ökad förståelse för generaliserat ångestsyndrom utifrån hur målgruppen själva beskriver sina upplevelser. Empirin samlades in genom poddar där personer med GAD berättade om sin livssituation, vilka strategier de använder för att hantera generell ångest och vad de anser lindrar generell ångest. Materialet analyserades genom en tematisk analys där fyra huvudteman togs fram; en konstant oro, hantera stigma, kontrollera eller undvika och endast lindra inte bota. Dessa teman analyserades utifrån Goffmans stigmateori och Giddens risksamhällesteori. Resultatet visar att personer med GAD lever med en konstant oro som påverkar hela deras livssituation, så som deras arbete, fritid och sociala relationer. Deras oro kan liknas med en allergi mot ovisshet då den triggas av sådant de inte kan kontrollera. De upplever sig stigmatiserade av andra och känner att de ofta behöver dölja sitt stigma genom att leva bakom en fasad. För att hantera generaliserad ångest används tre olika strategier vilka är att försöka kontrollera allt eller att undvika ångesten genom att inte utsätta sig för sådant som väcker oro eller att ständigt aktivera sig. Dessa strategier kan dock förvärra tillståndet, men det finns mycket som kan lindra generell ångest. De mest framträdande faktorerna är medicin, terapi, emotionellt stöd och självhjälp, som exempelvis meditation och träning. Resultatet visar dock att symtomen kvarstår trots stora ansträngningar och flertalet behandlingar vilket tyder på att mer forskning och effektivare interventioner krävs. Studien konkluderar att GAD inte enbart är ett problem som existerar inom individen utan även i mellanmänskliga relationer och i samhället som helhet. Därmed dras också slutsatsen att det måste ske en förändring i samhällsstrukturerna avseende psykisk ohälsa och att interventioner inte enbart bör riktas mot individen utan även anhöriga. Detta då resultatet visar att anhöriga också påverkas och att deras inflytande både kan förvärra och förbättra individens tillstånd.

HR har en viktig funktion i att ta tillvara de mänskliga resurserna på bästa möjliga sätt utifrån organisationernas mål och visioner. Det är därför av hög relevans att belysa hur och på vilket sätt de HR-anställda själva lär för att kunna genomföra sitt dagliga arbete. Syftet med studien är därmed att, med hjälp av de HR-anställas erfarenheter, beskriva hur processer av formellt och informellt lärande kan ta sig uttryck i det egna arbetet. För att besvara vårt syfte har vi intervjuat 10 HR-anställda inom den privata sektorn och det insamlade materialet har analyserats tematiskt. Formellt och informellt lärande, krav-kontroll-stödmodellen samt erfarenhetsbaserat lärande har använts som teoretiska verktyg för att kunna besvara våra frågeställningar. Av resultatet har tre teman framkommit, den HR anställde i organisationen, stöd från organisationen samt det egna ansvaret för lärande och att dessa är aspekter som påverkar lärandet för de HR-anställda. Resultatet indikerar att det formella och informella lärandet tar sig uttryck på olika sätt för de HR-anställda. I många avseenden går studiens resultat hand i hand med teori och tidigare forskning rörande hur arbetsplatsen kan verka som en lärandemiljö. Resultatet av studien bidrar till en ökad förståelse för att de HR-anställda bär ett stort eget ansvar för det egna lärandet på arbetsplatsen. Vidare har frågor dykt upp i diskussionen kring hurde HR-anställdas egna värderingar påverkar upplevelserna av lärande, samt hur chefers inverkan och ansvar för kunskapsutbyte kan påverka de HR-anställdas upplevelser av lärande. Det finns därför ett fortsatt behov av forskning gällande HR-anställdas lärande i deras eget arbete. / HR has an important function to utilize the human resources in the best possible way based on theorganizations' goals and visions. Therefore, it is of high relevance to shed light on how, and in whatway the HR employees themselves learn in order to carry out their daily work. The purpose of thestudy is thus, with the help of the experience of the HR employees, to make visible how processes of formal and informal learning can be expressed in their own work. In order to answer our purpose, we have interviewed 10 HR employees in the private sector and the collected material has been analyzed thematically. Formal and informal learning, the demand-control-support model and experience-basedlearning have been used as theoretical tools to answer our questions. From the result, it has emerged that the HR employees in the organization, support from the organization and their own responsibility for learning are aspects that affect the learning for the HR employees. The result indicates that formal and informal learning is expressed in different ways for the HR employees. In many respects, the study's results go hand in hand with theory and previous research on how the workplace can act as a learning environment. The result of the study contributes to an increased understanding that HR employees bear a great deal of responsibility for their own learning in the workplace. Furthermore, questions have arisen how the HR employees own values in the workplace effects the experiences of learning, as well as how the managers influence and responsibility for the exchange of knowledge can influence the HR employees' experiences of learning. Therefore, the research regarding the HR employee's learning in their own work need further research.
