Syftet med studien är att identifiera betydande skillnader mellan vägledningsverksamheterna på University of Wisconsin-Whitewater och Umeå universitet. Ytterligare ett huvudsyfte är att ge förslag på hur studie- och yrkesvägledarna kan utveckla sina vägledningsverksamheter med utgångspunkt i de skillnader vi identifierat. Detta är en komparativ fältstudie med kvalitativa intervjuer. Informanterna är sex studie- och yrkesvägledare som ger en bild av hur vägledningsverksamheterna är organiserade. De berättar om sina arbetsuppgifter och arbetssätt samt vilka utvecklingsbehov de ser inom respektive verksamhet och redogör för sin kompetens. De teoretiska utgångspunkterna är vägledningsmetoder som visat sig vara effektiva internationellt, förklaringar av vägledningstraditionerna som format vägledarkåren i olika länder samt redogörelse för studie- och yrkesvägledarutbildningarna i Sverige och USA. Resultatet visade att det förekom stora skillnader. Av störst betydelse bedöms vara att Umeå universitet har en välutvecklad e-vägledning och drop-in vägledning men saknar karriärvägledning tillgänglig för alla studenter. University of Wisconsin-Whitewater saknar e- vägledning med personlig kontakt öga mot öga samt drop-in vägledning, men lägger stort fokus på karriärvägledning. Slutsatsen är att båda vägledningsverksamheterna kan utveckla sin vägledning genom att lära av dessa skillnader via ett utbyte av vägledningskompetens. / The purpose of the study is to identify significant differences between the counseling centers at University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and Umeå University. Another main objective is to provide suggestions on how study and career counselors can develop their counseling centers on the basis of the differences identified. This study is a comparative field study with qualitative interviews. The informants are six study and career counselors that provide a picture of how the counseling centers are organized. They talk about their jobs and working practices as well as the need to develop their organizations. They also point out their counseling skills. Counseling methods proven effective internationally, counseling traditions influencing the practice of counseling today and the differences between the Study and Career Counseling Program in Sweden and USA are the theoretical points from where we take our support. The results show that there are in fact big differences. The differences considered to be of most importance is that Umeå University has a well-developed online counseling (e- counseling) and drop-in counseling but has no career counseling available to all students. University of Wisconsin-Whitewater is devoid of all face to face e-counseling and drop-in counseling but adds a strong focus on career counseling. The conclusion is that both counseling centers can develop its counseling by learning from these differences through an exchange of counseling skills.

In this magister study ,,Christian Christmas and its Practice in Prague" I write about Christmas in Prague.

Abstract Close to the Source is comprised of a series of nonfiction vignettes about the artisan, agricultural, and culinary methods of Italy. In Close to the Source the human relationship with nature, food, and art is reexamined while a series of rich characters help bring the material to life. Through interviews, research, and first-hand experiences, the author attempts to archive fading artisan and food-related techniques and rituals. In the process, a cultural critique about the importance of the practical arts in contemporary times emerges. The thesis contains four sections: Terra/Land; Art and Artisans; Pane/Bread; and Compagnia/Company.

The aim of this paper is to find out how the European religious traditions reflect in modern tourism. To analyze this, a specific example of Pays Cathare, a southern France's destination, is used. The first part of this paper deals with the main religions that affected the history of Europe and describes the most important religious monuments. Subsequently, it focuses on France, its religion history and situation in the domain of tourism. The next chapter explains the historic and religious background of the so-called Cathar movement and specifies the area of Pays Cathare. The last part describes the tourism in the Pays Cathare. It examines various factors of development of local tourism, main tourist's segments, history and actual management of tourism. All obtained information is then used within the compilation of the SWOT analysis, assessment of the importance of the medieval tradition of Catharism for modern tourism in the area of Pays Cathare and formulation of general conclusions that can be applied in other European destinations rich in religious traditions.

Nos últimos anos, os estudos sobre a prática do futebol no Brasil se avolumaram em diversas áreas do saber. Compreendido como um fenômeno de largo alcance social, o futebol que antes era desprezado pela intelectualidade, tornou-se espaço privilegiado para a compreensão de diversos fenômenos sociais correlatos. Não obstante ao desenvolvimento dessas pesquisas, diversas fontes documentais produzidas pelo universo futebolístico ao longo do século XX, ainda não tinham sido analisadas com rigor sistemático. Assim, esse trabalho ao se inserir em um contexto de renovação historiográfica denominada Nova História Cultural, busca compreender algumas facetas da sociedade paulistana que estiveram presentes em seus principais campos, equipes e estádios de futebol no período estudado (1894-1942). A formação de um circuito de praticantes e simpatizantes, a intervenção do poder público, a construção de campos e estádios, o surgimento dos três principais clubes de futebol da cidade, as disputas pelo controle das rendas geradas pelo espetáculo e sua profissionalização, mostraram-se como excelentes fontes documentais para a compreensão da complexidade do processo de modernização ocorrido em São Paulo e suas consequências para seus habitantes, no período abarcado pela pesquisa. / In recent years, many studies on the practice of football in Brazil have been carried out in different areas of knowledge. Understood as a broad-ranging social phenomenon, football which was once despised by intellectuals and academia has become a privileged source for the study of many interconnected social phenomena. Despite the development of said studies, many documentary sources produced in the world of football throughout the twentieth century still have not been systematically assessed. Hence, because this study is part of context of historiographical renewal referred to as New Cultural History, its objective is to further understand certain aspects of the São Paulo society present in the main football fields, teams and stadiums with respect to the period subject matter hereof (1894 1942). The establishment of a group of practitioners and supporters, together with government intervention, the construction of fields and stadiums, the emergence of three major football clubs in the city, disputes over control of revenues generated by the sport itself and its gradual pathway towards becoming increasingly professional reveal to be excellent documentary sources for better understanding the complexity of the modernization process that took pplace in São Paulo and the consequences thereof for its citizens during the period covered in this study.

Les personnes ayant subi la colonisation, survécu aux troubles qui précèdent les indépendances, et pu profiter du retrait colonial en adoptant ses modèles ne sont pas en peine d’identité. Mais ceux qui n’ont pu le faire faute d’opportunité ou d’adaptabilité, ou du fait de leur âge, sont aptes à rejeter ces modèles requérant l’abandon des traditions vestimentaires ou autres, celles qui leur conféreraient une identité, croient-ils, si la collectivité redevenait homogène. Zahra la triste protagoniste de ʿAm al-fil, de la Marocaine Laylā Abū Zayd, ettrois des quatre vieux protagonistes de ʿUššāq Bayya, du Tunisien al-Sālimī, partagent cette hantise de pureté culturelle au point de se rendre encore plus malades qu’ils ne le sont, surtout à propos de l’argent qui « pourrit tout ». Zahra n’est ni tendre ni sensuelle, et son mariage cesse quand son mari, soudain enrichi, prend une maîtresse ; et les trois autres entretiennent secrètement un fantasme sexuel sur une même femme sans qu’elle le sache, ce qui perce au jour tandis que le fils du quatrième, un émigré enrichi en Allemagne, décide de l’épouser. Zahra finit par se tourner exclusivement vers Dieu pour s’assurer le paradis tandis que les vieillards vivent dans la terreur de l’enfer. Que ceux qui ont eu la jeunesse la plus douce en guérissent avant de mourir désigne la véritable altérité. C’est la perversité d’une tradition que valident des croyances religieuses terrifiantes, laquelle empêche l’amitié entre garçons et filles et les marie sans souci des goûts et aptitudes, puis invite les hommes à maltraiter femme et enfants pour compenser. Comme peu guérissent de leur enfance, le cycle recommence et la tradition se perpétue / Those undergoing colonization, surviving pre-independence turmoil, and profiting from the colonizer’s withdrawal by adopting its models, are not looking for an identity. Yet those who are not adaptable, blind to opportunity, or old, are prone to reject models requiring giving up clothing or other such aspects of tradition which, they believe, would grant them a sense of identity – if only their community became homogenous again. The pitiful protagonist in ʿAmal-fil (Year of the Elephant), by Morrocan author Laylā Abū Zayd, and three of the four aged protagonists in ʿUššāq Bayya (The Lovers of Bayya), by Tunisian author Al-Sālimī, have a fear of cultural pollution so acute that they make themselves even sicker than they already were, especially when it comes to money which “rots everything”. Zahra is neither softhearted nor sensuous, and her marriage is brought to an end when her suddenly rich husband takes a lover; and the other three secretly nurture a sexual fantasy about the same woman while the son of the fourth, a visiting émigré who grew rich in Germany, decides to marry her. Zahra eventually turns to God to assure a place for herself in heaven whereas the old men agonize in the dread of hell. By dismissing this fear before they die, the two men who had the easiest youth point to the nature of genuine alterity in their community. It is the perversity of a tradition validated by terrifying religious beliefs, which prevents friendships among adolescent boys and girls, then marries them off with no consideration for their tastes and aptitudes, and then invites the men to brutalize wife and children in compensation. Since very few ever recover from their childhood, the cycle starts again and the tradition survives.

This is a study of the dietary traditions brought from the maternal home of the Italian families of the past and present, such as the interviewees recalled them regarding the material culture, and the experiences in their native land and, subsequently, in the Brás neighborhood and the private space of their own homes. Based on reflections on orality and memory, since the sources used here consisted of testimonies and books of memoirs, we sought to understand the (re)significations often nostalgic and idyllic that these groups created on their past and their habits, as well as the subjectivity of their statements in the present moment, their silences and omissions. From the interviews conducted between the years 2010 to 2012, that prioritized Italians from different regions of Italy and their descendants, we were able to observe the regional differences in cuisine and customs, as well as the terrible experience of hunger, the hardship and the Italian history itself during World War II. As for the descendants, who reports what they learned from their elders, we perceived how this memory was reelaborated and what they incorporated from past generations with regard to values, dietary habits and heritage / Esta pesquisa buscou, por intermédio de depoimentos orais, documentar as referências de apoio e os elementos de arrimo utilizados tanto por imigrantes como por descendentes deles, estabelecidos em São Paulo. Trata-se de um estudo das tradições alimentares trazidas da casa materna de famílias italianas de ontem e hoje, pela forma como os depoentes as rememoraram relativamente à cultura material e às experiências na terra nativa e, posteriormente, pela vivência no bairro do Brás e no próprio espaço privado do lar. Com base nas reflexões sobre oralidade e memória, uma vez que as fontes aqui usadas consistiram em testemunhos e livros de memorialistas, buscamos perceber as (re)significações muitas vezes nostálgicas e idílicas que esses grupos criaram sobre seu passado e seus hábitos, além da subjetividade das declarações no momento presente, seus silêncios e omissões. Pelas entrevistas entre 2010 a 2012, que priorizaram italianos de diferentes regiões da Itália e seus descendentes, pudemos observar as diferenças regionais na culinária e nos costumes e também a terrível experiência da fome, as dificuldades e a própria História italiana na época da Segunda Guerra. Quanto aos descendentes, que relataram isso pelo que souberam dos mais velhos, percebemos como reelaboraram essa recordação e o que incorporaram das gerações passadas no que concerne a valores, práticas alimentícias e a patrimônios herdados

Seus habitantes vivem, principalmente, da venda de artesanato e de doações esporádicas.
