MÉTODO: Desenvolveu-se estudo longitudinal. Foram aferidos: peso, altura, circunferência da cintura e percentual de gordura corporal (por bioimpedância elétrica vertical). O Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) foi calculado a partir destes dados. Pontos de corte da Organização Mundial de Saúde (2007) foram utilizados para determinar o estado nutricional. ZEscores de altura, peso e IMC também foram calculados. A circunferência da cintura foi avaliada segundo pontos de corte propostos por McCarthy et al, 2006; Índice de conicidade (IC) e a relação da circunferência da cintura pela altura (CC/ALT), também foram utilizados para verificar a distribuição da gordura corporal. RESULTADOS: A eutrofia foi o estado nutricional prevalente (?60%). Durante as férias escolares de inverno ocorreu um aumento estatisticamente significante do peso da população estudada (p=0,006; de 0,34 ZE em julho para 0,38 ZE em agosto), verificados pelo Z-Escore de peso e Z-Escore de IMC (p<0,001; 0,51 ZE em julho para 0,57 ZE em agosto). Já o comportamento ponderal foi diferente entre eutróficos e adolescentes com excesso de peso. No primeiro grupo ocorreu ganho de peso estatisticamente significante durante as férias de julho (p<0,001; de -0,16 ZE em julho para -0,11 ZE em agosto), e redução ponderal no período letivo do segundo semestre de 2009 (p=0.043; -0,14 ZE em agosto para -0,17 ZE em dezembro, para o peso). Já para aqueles com excesso de peso (sobrepeso e obesidade), a redução do IMC foi estatisticamente significante nos dois períodos letivos (p<0,001; 1,80 ZE em fevereiro para 1,72 ZE em junho. p<0,001; 1,80 ZE em agosto para 1,71 ZE em dezembro). Quanto ao percentual de gordura corporal (%GC) foi estatisticamente maior no sexo feminino, independente do estado nutricional (eutrófico: p<0,001; masculino: 17,25%, feminino: 20,61%. Excesso de peso: p<0,001; masculino: 28,62%; feminino: 34,08%). Dentre os índices estudados, somente CC/idade e CC/ALT indicaram maior concentração de gordura na região central, principalmente nos meninos. CONCLUSÕES: O período de férias é colaborador importante no ganho ponderal nos adolescentes estudados, principalmente aqueles entre 10 e 12,99 anos. O período letivo apresenta função importante na redução do ganho de peso, principalmente entre os adolescentes com sobrepeso e obesidade. Os adolescentes do sexo masculino apresentaram maior quantidade de gordura corporal na região central, enquanto as adolescentes femininas demonstraram gordura corporal distribuída proporcionalmente pela massa corporal total. E por sua praticidade, a CC deve ser utilizada em conjunto com o IMC para diagnóstico da localização da gordura corporal / Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Check adolescents' anthropometric behavior during school period and vacations period. METHOD: We developed a longitudinal study. Weight, height, waist circumference and body fat percentage (by vertical electrical bio-impedance) were checked. Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated based on these data. World Health Organization (2007) cut-off points were used to determine nutritional state. Height, weight and BMI Z-Scores were calculated, as well as conicity index (CI) and relationship between waist circumference and height (WC/HEIGHT). RESULTS: Eutrophy was the most prevailing state (?60%). During the winter school holidays there was a statistically significant increase in weight of the study population (p = 0.006, 0.34ZE in July to 0.38ZE in August), verified by the Z-score of weight and BMI Z-score (p <0.001; 0.51ZE in July to 0.57 ZE in August). The attitude was different weight between normal and overweight adolescents.In the first group was statistically significant weight gain during the July holidays (p <0.001; of -0.16 ZE to -0.11 ZE in July in August), and weight reduction during the second semester of school in 2009 (p = 0043; -0.14 ZE to -0.17ZE in August to December, for the weight). As for those with excess weight (overweight and obesity), the reduction in BMI was statistically significant in the two academic periods (p <0.001; 1.80ZE to in February to 1.72 ZE in June. P <0.001; 1.80ZE in August to 1.71 ZE in December). As the percentage of body fat (% BF) was statistically higher in females, regardless of nutritional status (normal weight: p <0.001, male: 17.25%, female: 20.61%. Overweight: p <0.001; Male: 28.62%, female: 34.08%). Among the indices studied, only CC/age and CC/ALT showed greater concentration of fat in the central region, especially in boys. CONCLUSIONS: Vacations period is a major collaborator for adolescents weight gain, especially for those between 10 and 12.99 years old. School period plays an important role in weight gain reduction, mainly among adolescents presenting overweight and obesity. Male adolescents presented a higher body fat amount on central region, while female adolescents showed body fat proportionally distributed within total body mass. And due to its convenience, WC shall be used, together with BMI, for body fat location diagnosis / Mestrado / Saude da Criança e do Adolescente / Mestre em Saude da Criança e do Adolescente

This study focuses on exploring the relative importance of six influential factors in cruise customers’ decision-making process such as: cruise vacation price, cruise duration, distance from the cruise port, itineraries, environmental friendliness of cruise line and cruise online reviews. The decision on which influencing factors to select was made based on the review of literature. The complexity of cruise customers’ decision-making process for these six attributes with several levels was examined with Choice-Based Conjoint (CBC) Analysis. CBC was selected due to its realistic approach to purchase decisions, in the form of trade-offs. The online survey collected data anonymously. The survey was distributed through Amazon Mechanical Turk (Mturk) platform. Only 450 cruise customers, who had experienced a cruise vacation before were eligible to participate in the study. The purpose of the study was to discover the relative importance of the influencing factors to gain more insights about cruise customers. The findings of the study showed that online reviews were the most influential attribute for cruise customers in their cruise decision, followed very closely by the environmental friendliness of the cruise line. The next influential factor was the duration of the cruise vacation which was followed by distance from the cruise port, cruise itinerary and cruise vacation price. The best and the worst cruise vacation profile were generated from CBC analysis. The findings of this study provide some insights with regard to cruise customers’ importance about influencing factors when deciding on a cruise vacation.

En la actualidad, la tendencia de viajar cada vez es más fuerte. Existen cada vez más personas que deciden explorar nuevos lugares dentro y fuera del país. Sin embargo, existen determinadas restricciones de viaje que pueden ser engorrosas de conocer por completo y cumplir, u olvidos de cosas primordiales, pudiendo generar malos momentos en la experiencia de viaje. Los productos de higiene personal son una de las categorías que las personas olvidan con mayor frecuencia. Comprarlas y adaptarlas al tamaño viaje puede ser costoso, no solamente en dinero, sino en tiempo, ya que es complicado encontrar todas estas cosas en un solo sitio a un precio adecuado. Por ende, se propone una alternativa de solución a este problema, la cual consiste en la venta de kits de viaje completamente equipados con todos los insumos de cuidado personal necesarios en el tamaño de acuerdo a la normativa, en las principales terminales terrestres y aéreas. / Nowadays, the tendency of traveling more is strongly increasing. There are more people choosing to explore new places in and out of the country. However, there are certain travel restrictions that can be cumbersome to fully understand and fulfill, or the forgetting of essential things, which can generate bad moments in the travel experience. Personal hygiene products are one of the categories that people forget the most. Buying them and adapting them to travel size can be expensive, not only in money, but also in time, since it is complicated to find all these things in one place at an adequate price. Therefore, an alternative solution to this problem is proposed, which consists of selling travel kits fully equipped with all the necessary personal hygiene supplies in the size according to the regulations, in the main terrestrial and air terminals. / Trabajo de investigación

Family cohesion, or emotional bonding, is important to family functioning. Shared activities such as family vacations offer opportunities for strengthening the family unit which can improve cohesion. Additionally, parenting style has direct influence on the family unit and family cohesion. This study’s purpose was to assess to what extent the perception of the family vacation experience predicted the perception of family cohesion and whether that relationship was moderated by parenting style. An online survey was conducted, resulting in 97 adult participants responding to items regarding their last family vacation, family cohesion, and parenting style. Using hierarchical multiple regression, a medium effect size was found for the predictive ability of a participant’s perception of their last family vacation on family cohesion. Findings also indicated a negative correlation between an authoritarian parenting style and perception of family cohesion, but a positive relationship between the interaction of family vacation experience and authoritarian parenting to family cohesion. Stronger predictive abilities were found for those with children in the 3-11 age group. Results may encourage parent and family educators to use family vacation as a tool in assisting families with the processes of building strong and cohesive families.

During the 1930s, Sweden went through several societal crisises. There was a labor market crisis and a population crisis that were also covered by a gender conflict. To address these crises, reforms were introduced around women in society. There was a great deal of political discussion about whether women should be able to live their lives as housewives, which led to the idea of ​​housewives' holidays and holiday homes for working women. What was the political significance of the holiday home? Why did it come to an end in 1977? What remains of the legacy from Vadtorp? For whom and why was Vadtorp preserved? How can one interpret the association in relation to the gender system?  Archive material has been used to be able to answer the survey. By closely reading the material and drawing connections to secondary sources, one has been able to answer these questions. The survey shows how the holiday home in Vadtorp should have had a political impact as the holiday home should have been one of the first holiday homes for working women. The woman became more equal to the man and Vadtorp was discontinued. It is possible to interpret how there was an underlying ideological idea in the dissolution of the holiday home.

This thesis project has been an investigation of the summer house phenomena, both from an historical point of view - the background and history of summer houses - looking at the emergence of the culture, their architectural programmatic experience, how they’ve change over time, as well as looking into specific reference projects, both for inspiration and clarity - some older houses, and others that are more modern. In addition to the research, and as the main part of the thesis project I have aimed to design a new small summer house of my own, to be placed on the small island in Mälaren where my family's current house is situated and where I have grown up, by using the knowledge I’ve gathered and the inspiration I have come across in order to create a project different from the one that is there today.

The offer of vacation packages is a marketing tool called bundling, selling at least two separate products at one single price (Guiltinan, 1987). Sellers adopt bundling strategies in order to sell more at lower costs, to contract consumer surplus, and to create value for consumers. Consumers purchase a package based on the trade-off between the perceived benefits and costs involved in purchasing the package compared to assembling different products/service. In other words, the perceived value of the package is the reason for consumers to purchase a package or not. The study serves two purposes. One is to examine the dimensionality of perceived value as a construct, in the pre-purchase stage. The other is to investigate the relationships between bundling strategies and perceived value, and perceived value and purchase intention of a vacation package. Bundling strategies taken by sellers include how many items to put in a package and what price discount for the package compared to the sum of all separate products. The findings of the study show that perceived value in service setting is composed of perceived acquisition value and perceived functional value, instead of perceived acquisition value and perceived transaction value proposed by scholars such as Thaler (1985) and Grewal et al. (1998). This is one of the theoretical contributions by the study. Another contribution of the study is the exploratory examination of the interaction effect between pricing strategies and product strategies for a bundle. The study provides evidence that bundles without a discount are perceived as having very low value and consumers expect a discount, large or small, from buying a bundle. And the larger the number of products in a package, the larger the discount size consumers expect to get. / Ph. D.

Sverige och omvärlden har de senaste åren varit under påverkan av den, än idag, rådande Covid-19 pandemin. Pandemin har påverkat vardagen som resultat av nedstängningar, riktlinjer och lagar som medfört ett förändrat förhållningssätt till samhället. Arbete, studier och diverse sysselsättningar anordnades digitalt och bostaden fick därmed en mer central roll i vardagen, men så även sekundära bostäder i form av fritidshus. Studien har till avsikt att undersöka hur pandemin påverkat transaktionsmönstret för dessa fritidshus på den svenska fastighetsmarknaden. För att gå tillväga med detta har pandemi- och transaktionsdata inhämtats. Ett säreget poängsystem har sedan tillämpats för att utse 10 av Sveriges mest representerbara kommuner för rekreationsändamål. Dessa 10 kommuner i fråga har sedan studerats utifrån transaktionsdata och hur denna i sin tur förhåller sig till pandemidata på nationell respektive internationell nivå. Resultatet av studien visar på en tydlig ökning av transaktioner för fritidshus under pandemin, i jämförelse med innan pandemin. De underliggande faktorerna för transaktionsökningen är dock svårpreciserade. Studien bidrar till att kartlägga pandemins påverkan på den svenska fastighetsmarknaden och då, mer preciserat, transaktionsmönstret av svenska fritidshus. / Sweden and the rest of the world have under recent years been, and are still to this day, affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic has affected everyday life and our approach to society as a direct consequence of the implementation of various shutdowns, laws and guidelines. Work, study and other occupations have therefore been digitally arranged, which gave the residence a more prominent role in everyday life, something that also applies to secondary residences, in terms of vacation homes. The purpose of this study aims to answer how the pandemic has affected the transaction pattern for vacation homes on the Swedish property market. To proceed and enable this has data regarding the pandemic and transaction history been gathered. Furthermore were 10 counties selected by using a unique, point based system to ensure that these counties were the most representative counties for recreational purposes in all of Sweden. These 10 counties in question were subsequently studied, in regards to their transaction data, and compared to the pandemic data on a national, respectively, international level. The result of the study indicates a noticeably increased number of transactions throughout the course of the pandemic. The underlying causes for this increase are however harder to precise. The study contributes to concretize the actual effect of the pandemic on the Swedish property market, and more precisely, the transaction pattern of Swedish vacation homes.
