Syftet med studien är att belysa några behandlares uppfattningar om faktorer som motverkar negativ ungdomskultur på institutioner för ungdomar med sociala problem. Studien lyfter fram upplevelser samt erfarenheter därmed användes ett kvalitativt närmandesätt, med hermeneutisk utgångspunkt. Fem semistrukturerade intervjuer tillämpades vid insamlingen av mjukdata. Med hjälp av latent innehållsanalys analyserades materialet för bättre överblick. Resultatet belyser faktorer som bidrar till att det blir negativt bland ungdomar på institutioner. Dessa faktorer kan exempelvis vara att ungdomarna inte känner av personalens närvaro, blir sedda samt hörda. Resultatet lyfter även fram att ungdomarna Influeras av varandra och är lojala mot varandra för att ungdomarna upplever att de har samma historik eller gemensamma drag samt att ungdomarna upplever att personal är på institutionen för att enbart tjäna pengar. Omotiverade ungdomar ska inte sättas inom samma grupp för då blir rehabiliteringsarbetet lidande konstateras i resultatet. Respondenterna upplever att oenighet bland personal angående rutiner och regler bidrar till negativ ungdomskultur. Delaktiga ungdomar som får stöd, som motiveras och förstärks av behandlare samt får återanknytning till sociala sammanhang i form av föreningsliv kan bidra till att främja en positiv ungdomskultur.

In today’s rapidly changing society company development and Continuous improvements are crucial to gain a competitive advantage on the global market. Through interviews this study investigated how two Chinese companies worked with Continuous improvements. The empirical findings were compared to the theoretical theories. The study showed that the biggest difference between western business and Chinese businesses was the organizational structure. The hierarchical organizational structure, since it hinders empowerment, was also the biggest barrier for Chinese companies to integrate further developmental work with Continuous improvements. Thus empowerment contributes to flexibility, innovation, employee development and increased communication processes.

Abstract Authors: Dmitry Moiseev and Polina KorolevaProgram: Leadership and Management in International Context Title: Power of innovative culture within organisations From 18 century almost everything that occurred during economic growth was done due to innovations. Companies started to understand that innovations could give a competitive advantage and increase organisational effectiveness. Innovative culture, in turn, is one of the most important conditions that make innovations happen. However innovative culture is not so popular and common within a lot of companies, maybe because of lack of knowledge according to this notion, maybe because of unwillingness and fear to change something. Innovative culture consists of aspects that have some particular shade and lead to innovations’ creation. In this research we defined innovative culture, determined and analysed different aspects that differentiate it among any other kind of culture. We showed advantages of innovativeness and described the leadership style which serves to innovations. Our findings are proven by the examples and words of leaders from global companies, which helped to build us empirical part.

Liquor plays an important role to ease tension in Chinese lives. When people hold parties or social events with their friends and relatives, liquor can often represent joyfulness and tact, and which led to many special cultures like toast, cheers, and drinking like a fish. If a new product wants to successfully enter a foreign market, it must be understand the local consumer¡¦s behavior and usage habit to satisfy their needs. Hence, this research study will base on Taiwanese national cultures to recognize the relation between national cultures and the effective of advertisements. This research study is using personal interviews and questionnaire surveys as its research methodologies. Based on five different liquor representational advertisements, this research study is focusing on consumers¡¦ perceptions and effectiveness of the foreign liquor advertisements in terms of the national culture. The results are as follows: First, in Taiwanese culture, the liquor advertisement under our national cultural should be approaching Taiwanese Power Distance Index, Medium Individualism, and high Masculinity Index. Second, the interference factors, such as noises, are easily to affect an advertisement¡¦s effectiveness result. Third, there are partial significant differences in terms of foreign liquor advertisements by different gender. Lastly, this research study will propose the managerial implications and suggestions for future research directions.

Almost fifty-five years following the findings of the Dead Sea Scrolls, academic studies are now being published in large numbers that address the new knowledge about early Christianity. Thus, allowing us to view the Gospels through the lens of their original language. This dissertation rests on the assumptions that Hebrew was the spoken language of Jesus' day, not Greek or Aramaic, and that through the years recounted in the New Testament, strong Hebraic traditions continued to influence Christianity's development within the Hellenized culture of the Roman Empire. In view of late historical evidence, there is no doubt that the language and culture before, during, and after Jesus' day were Hebraic or Mishnaic, and that there was a parallel Hebraic culture existing side by side with that of the Hellenistic culture, strong enough to influence those who translated and compiled the canonized text of our Gospels. In this dissertation, I pursue how these parallel cultures influenced the subsequent adaptations of the Gospels, as scholars were at pains to divorce the record of Jesus' early teaching from his Jewish roots and context, and to establish early Christian culture within the cultural and political imperatives of the Roman Empire. First, I pursue a concept well known in Christian literature, "The Kingdom of Heaven," to show how the historical setting unlocks fresh new meanings of the texts in which it appears. Hellenized readings of the passage stress future promises and theology, while in the context of Jewish learning this concept referred mainly to community and political concerns of the day. Thereafter, I follow how this concept helps to open a familiar set of passages from the Gospel according to Matthew, Chapter Five --the Beatitudes. Here, I contrast a reading informed by knowledge of the early Common Era's Jewish cultures with those offered by modem commentators who retain a Hellenistic vision of the era. The conclusion returns to the methodological process in which translations are used to carefully reflect specific translators or commentators' ideologies. / text
