Det svenska välfärdssamhället präglas av ett utbrett medborgerligt engagemang i form av ideellt arbete. Motivation till ett ideellt engagemang kan variera beroende på individ, situation och samhällskontext. Under 2015 kom en flyktingström till Sverige som innebar nya utmaningar för samhället. Många av flyktingarna ville inte söka asyl i landet och klassades därför som irreguljära flyktingar. Den svenska staten har inga direkta skyldigheter mot irreguljära flyktingar vilket skapade ett behov som ideellt engagerade fick täcka upp för. Trots avsaknaden av juridiska skyldigheter kände människor ändå en moralisk skyldighet att agera på ett sådant sätt som ansågs främjade för allmänhetens bästa. En ideell handling kan betraktas som en gåva och ska tolkas i den sociala kontext den utförs i. Ideellt engagemang relateras också till ett socialt utbyte där de engagerade individerna förväntar sig att få något tillbaka från engagemanget. Motivationen till att ge en gåva eller delta i ett utbyte kan grunda sig både i inre och yttre faktorer. Syftet med denna uppsats har därför varit att undersöka vad det är som motiverar människor att engagera sig ideellt vid en hastig samhällsförändring som skapat nya sociala behov. För att undersöka syftet har sex djupintervjuer utförts med ideellt engagerade inom verksamheten Refugees Welcome som assisterade flyktingarna på deras resa genom Sverige. Resultat visar på att olika delar och grupper i samhället påverkas på olika sätt vid en hastig samhällsförändring. Majoriteten av civilsamhället mobiliseras till förmån för att täcka upp behoven samtidigt som det finns individer med skilda åsikter som går samman och tillsammans organiserar ett motstånd mot de ideella insatserna. Den största faktorn för människors motivation vid en samhällsförändring är känslan av att vilja hitta en lösning och erbjuda stöd för de drabbade människorna. Den snabba uppstarten innebar ett löst organiserat nätverk som ledde till organisatoriska utmaningar. Utmaningar och motgångar användes som motivationsfaktorer för de ideellt engagerade individerna. Under engagemangets gång spelade stöd och uppskattning från omgivningen in som centrala drivkrafter till ett fortsatt engagemang.

The people who service the physical needs of university populations and maintain their built environment are barely acknowledged in the research into university life. An observed dissonance between university staff encountered on the ground and those appearing in the literature prompted this research into the work experience of university catering, caretaking and security staff. This thesis is based on a case study which investigated perceptions of this experience in an English university. Consideration was given to the contribution of these staff to the social and learning aspects of the institution. The research was positioned within the theoretical tension between the structural nature of the social determinants of work, and individual subjective responses to working practices. The format of the study was guided by Paul Edwards’ consideration of the components of a useful labour process analysis. The research strategy was an inductive single case study, drawing on ethnographic traditions of observation and conversation, supplemented by the perusal of documents. A first phase of familiarisation was followed by a second stage of interviews, participant and non-participant observation. Forty-five staff were directly engaged with the research with informal observations and conversations with others. Thematic analysis was used to consider data across the case study. English universities have been subject to structural change which have created large, fragmented and dispersed populations and impacted on the ways that the built environment is used. The formal work activities of these staff enabled the University to open and operate securely. They contributed to the social processes of the institution through their interactions with staff, students, customers and visitors. It is argued that they also had a valuable role in establishing a friendly, welcoming, supportive environment for students through discretionary, activity during frequent encounters. The work of these staff was closely structured as to time, place and task. These everyday social interactions provided an autonomous opportunity to craft their work environment and develop relationships whose significance is insufficiently explored in the current literature on low paid and low status work.

This thesis deals with the relationship between family and school at the beginning of primary school. The theoretical part defines the matters of the cooperation between family and school, it explains terms like family, school and the relationship between them. Next it deals with historical roots of the relationship, conditions for the effective cooperation between family and school and specifications in curriculum together with some educational plans and initiatives. The practical parts presents varied research which is focused on the concrete level of the cooperation between family and school at the beginning of primary school and which is marked by the sign Parents are welcome. The evaluative instrument is Survey for parents, results of it create the base for the interview with the head teacher of the school. Complementary research finds the opinions of the teachers in the matter of the cooperation between family and school. The results of the research proved that the quality of the cooperation between the family and school at this grammar school is at high level. Parents evaluate the attitude of this school positively and they claim there is partnership between them and the school, which fulfill the standard of the sign Parents are welcome. The research also proved it is possible to get...

O olhar ao espaço e à arquitetura, a partir do pensamento da Hospitalidade, é um olhar que busca pela dimensão de abertura, de fluidez do lugar; uma perspectiva que vai além da própria materialidade, geometria, adentrando na sutil dimensão humana, vivida do espaço. Num relato da experiência de ser recebida na Vila Tronco, comunidade de Porto Alegre, busco, no presente trabalho, revelar formas do acolhimento manifestadas nesse território informal, espontâneo, lugar à margem do resto da cidade. A partir do pensamento de Levinas, Derrida, Deleuze, inicio o trabalho com uma visão afastada, cartográfica da Vila para, mais além, adentrar no território; busco, então, identificar, através da perspectiva adotada por Fernando Fuão, as formas do acolhimento, os afetivos lugares de encontro da comunidade. Numa poderosa capacidade de reconstituição, a Vila cria e recria formas de acolher, grandes aberturas, clareiras, em meio ao espaço tantas vezes fechado, hostil. Posicionada junto a uma grande avenida em processo de duplicação, a Avenida Tronco, a comunidade, que tem absorvida boa parte de seu território, manifesta uma lúcida atitude receptiva, abrindo-se ao outro e constituindo uma nova fronteira, uma nova superfície de relação. / The look to space and architecture, built on the thought of Hospitality, is a look that seeks the dimension of openness and fluidity of the place; it is a perspective that goes beyond the materiality and geometry themselves and enters the subtle human and lived dimension of space. In this work, through the narration of the experience of being received in Vila Tronco, community of Porto Alegre, I seek to reveal the welcome forms expressed in this informal and spontaneous territory, a outlying place from the rest of the city. From the thought of Levinas, Derrida and Deleuze, I start with a distant and cartographic view of the slum, to further enter the territory – I search to identify, through Fernando Fuão´s perspective of welcome forms, the affective gathering places of the community. With a powerful ability of reconstitution, the slum creates and recreates forms of welcome, large openings, clearings amid the often enclosed and hostile space. The duplication process of the large Tronco Avenue has absorbed much of the territory of the slum, which is positioned nearby. Even so, the community expresses a lucid receptive attitude, opening up to the other and building a new frontier, a new relationship surface.

Toward this aim, knowledge in Human Development Psychology, specifically Jean Piaget and his contemporary collaborators, were associated to philosophic knowledge, with emphasis in Kant and Aristotle. The research took place in an institutional welcome service in the town of Natal-RN, between February and May of 2009, witch is responsible to offer care to children from zero till six years old. As procedure were used: the rulebased game Memory Game ; the childhood story One note fight ; and observations of the institution s everyday. The corpus analysis was done by the Thematic Content Analysis method. In general, in the daily observations, children showed themselves more co-operative and generous than in the executed procedures, mainly when the matter subject was other?s well-being. The duty, Kantian perspective, was overcome by the Aristotelian sumo bem, classified as generous act of afford to other what is not posted as right, however guaranteed by solidarity / Esta pesquisa tem como proposta central verificar como a virtude generosidade, considerada aqui como um dos aspectos importantes do desenvolvimento moral na crian?a, se apresenta em crian?as de quatro a seis anos de idade em situa??o de acolhimento institucional. Para tanto, agregou-se aos conhecimentos em psicologia do desenvolvimento humano, mais especificamente Jean Piaget e seus colaboradores mais contempor?neos, conhecimentos filos?ficos, com ?nfase em Immanuel Kant e Arist?teles. A pesquisa realizou-se em um servi?o de acolhimento institucional do munic?pio de Natal/RN, nos per?odos de fevereiro a maio de 2009, a qual ? respons?vel por oferecer cuidado a crian?as de zero a seis anos. Foram utilizados como procedimentos: o jogo de regra Brincadeira da mem?ria ; a hist?ria infantil Briga de uma nota s? ; e observa??es do cotidiano da institui??o. A an?lise do corpus se deu por meio do m?todo de An?lise de Conte?do Tem?tica. No geral, nas observa??es do cotidiano as crian?as se apresentaram mais cooperativas e generosas do que nos procedimentos ministrados, principalmente quando estava em quest?o o bem-estar do outro. O dever, perspectiva kantiana, foi superado pelo sumo bem aristot?lico, classificado como ato generoso de proporcionar ao outro aquilo que n?o est? afixado como direito, no entanto, garantido por solidariedade

This thesis is an exploration of hospitality, sharing and acclimation within a studio art practice as a means of fostering consideration of others. I employ a practice whereby I disrupt the typical gallery context, and through the production and dissemination of consumable items from the Middle East, I examine how resources can be used, valued, and shared to accommodate various and unspecified others and provide opportunities for crossing thresholds of guest and host relationships.

[pt] A presente tese se propôs analisar e responder, no âmbito teológico, como a Igreja Católica vive sua missão evangelizadora junto aos migrantes. Os processos migratórios podem ser experiências da vivência cristã, pois, em meio a percalços, sucessos e frustrações, podem possibilitar ao ser humano o encontro com Deus, em Jesus Cristo, na realidade concreta em que este ser humano se encontra. Assim, a Igreja Católica, na sua ação pastoral junto aos migrantes, deve ser marcada pela gratuidade, acolhida, misericórdia, justiça e pelo amor, fortalecendo o que há de melhor no ser humano. Para captar adequadamente o objeto material, isto é, a realidade da migração, a pesquisa optou por uma amostragem, com centralidade na migração de brasileiros para uma região específica - Boston- Massachusetts-EUA. Por meio de pesquisa de campo, com perfil qualitativo, e do estudo bibliográfico das principais obras que tratam do assunto, buscou compreender o que ocorre com esta realidade migratória específica. Por ser uma tese teológica, o objeto formal foi recolhido no núcleo da experiência cristã, isto é, no encontro com Jesus Cristo e na adesão a uma comunidade eclesial e suas consequências. No encontro entre os dois objetos da pesquisa, percebeu-se a importância da relação entre fé e cultura, buscando compreender até que ponto a inserção numa nova cultura, no caso, a norte-americana, implica a perda ou a transformação da fé. O processo migratório analisado pela perspectiva da fé cristã induz à superação das estruturas rígidas e restritivas apresentadas como muros que cerceiam a liberdade e o sentido da existência humana num mundo diverso. É, pois, preciso, em lugar de muros, construir pontes de diálogos e de trocas que valorizem a vida. É preciso saber discernir entre o que pertence efetivamente à experiência cristã e o que é mediação cultural para esta vivência. / [en] The present thesis aimed at analyzing and answering, in the theological sphere, how the Catholic Church exercises its evangelizing mission in favor of migrants. Migration processes can be experiences of Christian living because in the midst of mishaps, success and failure, may make human s encounter with God possible, in Jesus Christ, in the concrete reality in which the being is found. This way, the Catholic Church, in its pastoral action in favor of migrants, must be characterized by gratuity, receptivity, mercy, justice and love, boosting what is the best in human beings. In order to capture appropriately the material object, i.e., the reality of migration, the survey opted for sampling, focusing its attention to the Brazilian migration executed to a particular area - Boston- Massachusetts- the USA. Throughout fieldwork, with qualitative profile, and bibliographic study of the major works that deal with the matter, tried to understand what occurs with this specific reality of migration. As it is a theological thesis, the formal objective was gathered at the nucleus of Christian experience, i.e., at the encounter with Jesus Christ and adhesion to an ecclesial community and its consequences. Gathering both objects of research we realized the importance of the relationship between faith and culture, seeking to evaluate to what extent the immersion in a new culture, in this case North American, implies in faith loss or change. The migration process analyzed through Christian faith perspective leads to overcoming the rigid and strict structures posed as barriers that limit the freedom and the purpose of human existence in a diverse world. Therefore, instead of building walls, bridge building to allow dialogue and exchanges that treasure life are necessary. Distinguishing what effectively belongs to Christian experience and what is cultural intervention to its living is essential.

abstract: Focus has turned to the experiences of new transfer students in four-year institutions partially because of the mandate from President Obama for there to be more college graduates. Though transfer students are familiar with being college students, they still may not be accustomed to their new four-year institutions. At the time of this action research study, there were a very limited number of events to welcome new transfer students to the Arizona State University (ASU) Tempe campus. The purpose of this study was to create knowledge about the transition process of new transfer students to the Tempe campus. I worked with current transfer students to design a welcome event called Transfer Connections. By using a mixed methods design guided by retention and transition theories, a pre- and post-survey, individual interviews, and a focus group, I sought to answer questions about their transition process. In order to answer my research questions, this included exploring whether or not Transfer Connections had an influence on the success strategies they used, the type of support they gained, and their levels of feeling like they mattered. Since this was an action research study, I also explored my role as both a researcher and a practitioner. Results showed students did not learn specific success strategies, though they did learn about resources specific to ASU. The students also gained a level of support through the connections they made with other students. These connections influenced how the students felt they mattered to both ASU and other students. Future iterations of Transfer Connections will include more opportunities for new transfer students to develop connections. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Leadership and Innovation 2016
