Denna studie syftar till att få en ökad förståelse för hur arenachefer i Sverige rekryteras, vi tar även upp hur rekryteringsprocessen såg ut för respondenterna som deltog i denna studie. Vi kommer även att belysa vilka arbetsuppgifter och ansvarsområden de arenacheferna vi har intervjuat har. Arenacheferna är verksamma på arenor vars hemmahörande idrotter är på elitnivå, på dessa arenor arrangeras även allt ifrån uppträdanden med världsartister inom musikbranschen till mindre företagsevent. Ur resultatet framkommer det att rekryteringsprocessen, ansvarsområden och arbetsuppgifterna skiljer sig mellan de olika arenacheferna. Gemensamma nämnare för arenacheferna är att samtliga har ett ansvar för personal, ekonomi och säkerhet. / The aim of this study is to gain a better understanding of the recruitment of arena managers in Sweden, and also the recruitment process for the managers participating in this study. Furthermore we will highlight the job tasks and areas of responsibility of the managers interviewed in this study. The managers are employed at arenas that host everything from professional sports to music events featuring world renowned artists and minor company events. The results of this study show that the recruitment process, areas of responsibility and job tasks differ among the arena managers. What unites them is that they all have a responsibility for personnel, finances and security.

Idrottsarenor, och för denna uppsats del, ishockeyarenor, har med åren kommit att få större betydelse än bara den betydelsen den skapar för själva idrottsföreningen och laget som spelar där. Allt fler arenor har fått ett så kallat multi koncept och således blivit multi-arenor. Arenor som kan användas till en rad olika evenemang, som exempelvis ishockeymatcher, curling turneringar, konferenser, musikkonserter och andra typer av evenemang. I denna studie, med hjälp av tre studieobjekt, Läkerol arena i Gävle, Löfbergs arena i Karlstad och Cloetta Center i Linköping, avser författarna att belysa och bättre förstå fenomenet med multi-arenor. Främst utifrån vilken betydelse en sådan arena har för besöksnäringen i staden, hur arenan kan skapa nya evenemangsmöjligheter, om den förbättrar stadens image som helhet och om en sådan arena kan fungera som en symbol. För att bättre förstå detta fenomen kommer uppstasen ha ett producentperspektiv, det vill säga att uppsatsen kommer fokusera kring producenterna av arenan och turismnäringen i de aktuella städerna. Genom detta är de metoder som använts i denna studie främst kvalitativa intervjuer med producenter, det vill säga arenaansvariga och kommunföreträdare för besöksnäringen. Vidare har även en innehållsanalys av de aktuella städernas resebroschyrer gjorts, för att se hur arenan används i marknadsföringen och så har även de respektive länens regionala utvecklingsplaner studeras, för att se hur de avser använda sin multi-arena. Den vetenskapsteoretiska ansats som använts för detta är en socialkonstruktivistisk teori, med en hermeneutisk tolkningslära. Dem teorier som främst använts i denna uppstats, för att belysa problemområdet och besvara syftet, är teorier kring evenemang, sportevenemang, multi-arenor, evenemangsplanering, konkurrens, regional utveckling, imageskapande och symboler. Den empiriska insamlingen av data presenteras sedan i tre kapitel (5,6 och 7), där det första av dessa kapitel inriktas mot befintlig marknadsföring och planering, således data från resebroschyrer och regionala utvecklingsplaner, medan de två övriga empirikapitlen fokuserar kring dem intervjusvar som inkommit till denna studie, och har således större fokusering kring producenternas åsikter, förhoppningar och arbetsmetoder för att skapa en attraktionskraftig arena. Sedermera analyserars den insamlade datan mot de tidigare presenterade teorierna i kapitel 8, där även en viss diskussion förs kring de berörda områdena, för att sedermera komma fram till de mer avgränsade slutsatserna som denna studie mynnar ut i. Där de främsta slutsatserna är att de olika arenorna har bidragit till att skapa större evenemangsmöjligheter för de olika städerna, arenorna har även förbättrat städernas image, och kan också i vissa fall fungera som symboler för de olika städerna. Genom detta, möjliggörs det att konstatera att arenorna har haft en positiv inverkan på turismströmmarna till de olika städerna, dock är det fortfarande så att samtliga arenor fortfarande är av störst relevans för de respektive ishockeylagen som spelar där. Det finns också sociala skillnader mellan de tre städerna som medför vissa skillnader dem emellan, men de övergripande dragen är detsamma för samtliga tre studieobjekt. / Sports centers, and in the case of this study, ice hockey arenas, have begun to bear more meaning than just an arena for sporting events and for the local athletic association. More and more stadiums have been developed into so called multi-purpose stadiums, and that means that those stadiums can host more than one form or type of event, whether it is a concert, sports meet or a convention. This study focuses on three different multi-purpose stadiums in three different Swedish cities. These stadiums are Läkerol Arena in Gävle, Löfbergs Arena in Karlstad and Cloetta Center in Linköping. By studying these stadiums, the authors of this study want to examine the phenomenon with multi-purpose stadiums. The authors want to see how much a multi-purpose stadium of this sort affects the tourism in a city that has one such stadium, furthermore if said stadium can be able to create new possibilities for events, if the stadium improves the city’s image and if such a stadium can become a symbol for a city or region. To better understand this phenomenon, this study will follow the producers’ perspective, that is, focus on the different producers that help develop the arena, attract new events as well as the producers of the tourism industry in these cities. This paper will use methods for research that focus on qualitative interviews with different producers, that is, those in charge of the stadiums and those in charge for the tourism industry in each city. This study furthermore includes a content analysis of these different cities’ travel brochures, to see how the stadium is being branded in said brochures. In addition to the brochures, the regional development plans of Gävle, Karlstad and Linköping, have also been studied to see whether or not the stadium in each city is included in their plans for further development. The epistemological approach of this study is of a social-constructivist type with hermeneutic interpretation learning. The various theories used for this paper, help to illustrate the problem area and further answer the aim of this study. These theories have their roots in events, sporting events, multi-purpose stadiums, event planning, competition, regional development, image-making and symbolism. The empiric data is presented further through chapters 5 to 7, where the first of these chapters focuses on existing branding and planning, thus presenting the information gathered from brochures and regional development plans whereas the remaining two chapters present the information gathered from the interviews that where conducted during this study, and thus focus on the producers thoughts, hopes and work methods to create a highly attractive stadium. The last chapters consist of the analysis of the gathered empirical as well as the theoretical material, where a discussion is held about the affected fields, to come to conclusions that mark the ending of this study. The main conclusions being the contribution the various stadiums make towards broader event possibilities for the various cities as well as the improved images of said cities with the help of these multi-purpose stadiums and the symbolic value these stadiums have brought to the cities and regions they are built in. To conclude this, these stadiums have had a positive impact on the tourism flows within their cities. Although, one must remember that these stadiums are most relevant to the hockey teams that play in these stadiums. Furthermore, there are some social differences between the cities of Gävle, Karlstad and Linköping that differentiate these cities from one another, but the overall traits are still very similar between these three study objects.

The purpose of this study is to explore critical aspects in the establishment of an open innovation arena. This study considers only the perspective of science parks as the establisher and facilitator of the open innovation arenas. By understanding these critical aspects science parks and its participants can benefit from improved innovativeness. Using existing theories, a theoretical framework illustrating critical aspects for the establishment of an open innovation arena was created and subsequently tested through a qualitative research strategy. The research design included case studies into four science parks, three in Sweden and one in the UK, at various stages of establishing and facilitating open innovation arenas. The primary data comprised interviews with top management at each of the science parks, as well as one interview with a committee overseeing science parks in Sweden. The locations for the case study selection were based on Sweden and United Kingdom’s current prominence and success in fostering collaborations. The results of this study indicate that there are a number of critical aspects important during the establishment of open innovation arenas by science parks. Among these critical aspects are the selection of participants, a neutral and passive stance on formalization of contracts and IP, the creation of trust and motivation within the arena, the importance of the physical arena setting and the benefit of an arena topic area prominent amongst the surrounding participants. In addition, this study shows the importance of science parks’ neutral position, as well as the influence of the participants throughout all aspects. Based on these findings, practical and theoretical implications are presented and discussed in the paper. The key implications of this study are that science parks should play an active role to select appropriate projects and participants in order to create trust and motivation within the arena, provide a physical meeting place and access to specialized equipment that fosters communication and encourages collaboration among participants, as well as sourcing projects close to the science park’s geographical proximity. Additionally, they should choose one or more topic area and utilize networks in order to build up expertise, While science parks should play a passive role regarding formalization and IP regulations, it is important that they know how to assists the participants when requested.

The nesting demographics of sea turtles using beaches within the Barrow, Lowendal, Montebello (B-L-M) island complex on the North West Shelf of Western Australia were examined in the context of their spatial and temporal distribution and potential for exposure to industrially based artificial light sources. The distribution of overnight turtle tracks throughout the island complex confirmed high density nesting of Chelonia mydas (green turtles) on deep, sandy and high energy beaches and Natator depressus (flatback turtles) on deep, sandy and low energy beaches, while Eretmochelys imbricata (hawksbill turtle) tracks were most visible on shallow, sandy beaches adjacent to near shore coral reef habitat. The three species exhibited a summer nesting peak. Hawksbill turtles commenced nesting in September and continued through to January, green turtles commenced in November and decreased in March. Flatback turtles displayed the most constrained nesting season reported to date in Australia with 86% of the animals visits recorded in December and January only. Nesting population sizes estimated for the three species suggest that on a national scale the B-L-M complex is a moderately large green turtle and a large flatback rookery site. The hawksbill rookery is large on an international scale. While none of the green turtle nesting beaches fell within a 1.5 km radius of industrially based artificial light sources an estimated 42% of nesting flatback turtles and 12% of nesting hawksbill turtles were potentially exposed to these light sources. Testing of green turtle and hawksbill hatchling response to different wavelengths of light indicate that hatchlings from the B-L-M region respond to low wavelength much like hatchlings tested in North America (Witherington 1992a). Flatback hatchlings displayed a similar preference for low wavelength light however their responses to discrete light wavelengths between 400 nm and 700 nm suggest that this species may not discriminate well between wavelengths that lie between 450 nm and 550 nm. This response may be related to the rapid attenuation of visible light that occurs in the turbid near shore habitats favoured by this species. Field based arena studies carried out to investigate hatchling behaviour on nesting beaches with light types commonly used in industrial settings found green turtle and flatback hatchlings are significantly attracted to these lights compared to controls. Lights that emit strongly in the low wavelength range (i.e. metal halide and fluorescent) caused hatchling misorientation at lower intensities than the test light that emitted relatively poorly in this range (high pressure sodium vapour). Hawksbill hatchlings tested in situ under the influence of actual oil and gas onshore and offshore facility based lighting were disrupted from the most direct line to the ocean by these light emissions. Emergence fan mapping methods that measure hatchling orientation on nesting beaches were refined and are proposed as an alternative monitoring tool for use on beaches that are logistically difficult to access for large scale experimental orientation studies. The hatchling behaviour was clearly complicated by beach topography and moon phase. Satellite tracking of post nesting female green and hawksbill turtles from North West Shelf rookeries has identified the Western Australian location of migratory corridors and foraging grounds for these species while Scott Reef turtles migrate from their south Timor Sea rookery to Northern Territory waters. Green turtle nesting on Barrow Island and Sandy Island (Scott Reef) forage at feeding grounds 200 – 1000 km from their nesting beaches. Hawksbill turtles nesting at Varanus Island and Rosemary Islands forage at locations 50 – 450 km from their nesting beaches. While all of the nesting beaches within the B-L-M island complex are protected under the Barrow-Montebello Marine Conservation Reserves, the only foraging ground similarly protected is the Northern Territory foraging ground used by Scott Reef green turtles. None of the foraging grounds used by North West Shelf green or hawksbill turtles is currently protected by conservation reserves.

abstract: Graffiti at the Arena Chapel and Issogne Castle engage in conversation with the frescoes and the functions of the spaces. These marks produce discussions of cultural issues. The graffiti found in the chapel and castle can be considered ritual and performative acts, visually documenting conversations among diverse audiences in the late medieval and early modern periods. Scholars of the Arena Chapel frescoes have studied the intricate painted iconography. Adding graffiti to the analysis of the chapel allows for a different interpretation of one of the most famous fresco programs. Abundant marks appear on figures in the scene of Hell in the Last Judgment, and are analyzed in terms of the medieval concepts of optics and sight, as well as in respect to class. At Issogne Castle, visitors inscribed graffiti on figures and scenes to represent their responses to key social issues. These included questions of class and occupation, along with political and religious concerns. Contextualizing graffiti in this way enables contemporary scholars to uncover a more complex and subtle understanding of the conversations on the wall in the late medieval and early modern periods through case studies of two monuments of art history. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.A. Art History 2012

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo el estudio y evaluación de la textura superficial de 5 caminos pavimentados con Cape Seal en la III región. Para llevar a cabo dicha tarea, se cuantifica la textura superficial de las carpetas de rodadura a través del ensayo del Péndulo Británico y el ensayo del Círculo de Arena tomando 10 medidas por camino. Ambos ensayos se describen en el Manual de Carreteras Volumen 8 “Especificaciones y Métodos de Muestreo, Ensaye y Control”. Por una parte, el ensayo del Péndulo Británico permite medir la resistencia al deslizamiento de los pavimentos, característica asociada a la microtextura. En cambio el ensayo del Círculo de Arena es un indicador de la macrotextura resultante. Además de entregar antecedentes y resultados de las mediciones realizadas, se pretende estudiar el cumplimiento de las especificaciones del Manual de Carreteras Volumen Nº5 ”Especificaciones Técnicas Generales de Construcción” en términos de dosificación y granulometría de cada una de las 2 aplicaciones que conforman el Cape Seal; así como los requisitos de textura para carpetas asfálticas presentes en el Manual de Carreteras Volumen 8 “Especificaciones y Métodos de Muestreo, Ensaye y Control” . Se acompañan las mediciones obtenidas con imágenes registradas en terreno y análisis basados tanto en los resultados de los ensayos como en las observaciones realizadas. Finalmente se pretende conocer el estado general de la aplicación del Cape Seal en Chile, específicamente en al III región donde se ha utilizado de manera frecuente.

O contexto que permeia essa temática remete aos desafios dos modelos de gestão pública local, que ora se pauta na descentralização das ações públicas, ora na congregação de forças para soluções multifinalitárias. Nessa disputa ambivalente, compreende-se o conceito de arena interorganizacional, apresentando convergências e divergências entre setores, governos e escalas. O cenário educacional brasileiro é marcado por uma construção histórica de disputa pela hegemonia na determinação da gestão educacional e sua culminância no sistema local, em que ocorre o impacto de todos os outros sistemas (global, nacional, estadual e regional). Acentua-se mais esse contexto com a aprovação da lei nº 13.005/2014 que estabelece o novo Plano Nacional da Educação de 2014 a 2024. Neste sentido, a tese realiza um esforço de superar a visualização macro, permeando e aprofundando o olhar sobre um caso emblemático da questão territorial: o município de Abaetetuba, no estado do Pará, na Amazônia. Território pouco explorado e de grande potencialidade para compreensão do cenário desafiador de arena interorganizacional, haja vista sua difusão territorial entre espaço imbricado de características rurais, urbanas, de ilhas e estradas. Bem como as disputas de poderes nas escalas globais, nacionais, regionais e locais que conforma o objeto de pesquisa. Para a realização da pesquisa, a metodologia adotada recai em três estratégias principais: 1) A reconstituição socioterritorial no campo educacional, que se ampara na análise de discurso e documental da arena educacional brasileira e específica do local, com objetivo de captar as trajetórias individuais e coletivas organizacionais para compreender o atual estágio dos conselhos; 2) O Caráter interorganizacional dos conselhos municipais, que se ampara em observações participantes em fóruns de discussões nos conselhos, entre conselhos e demais atores envolvidos, particularmente na discussão do Plano Municipal de Educação - PME; e 3) Por fim, a aderência das categorias teóricas e empíricas, que visa à ancoragem dos dados coletados do ponto de vista de conselheiros e interorganizações envolvidas. As técnicas de tratamento de dados baseiam-se nessas estratégias utilizando dois softwares de organização de dados qualitativos, o HIMC C-Map Tools e Atlas Ti. Espera-se com os resultados compreender se a gestão educacional em nível municipal identifica lacunas e define estratégias entre a teoria de arena interorganizacional e a prática de conselhos municipais, respondendo a pergunta: como se configura uma arena interorganizacional no Conselho Municipal de Educação para a formulação da gestão educacional de um território complexo? / The thesis aims to analyze the configuration of arena formed by the Municipal Council of Education in a complex territory. The context that permeates this theme refers to the challenges of local governance models, which sometimes is guided in decentralization of public actions, the assembly of forces to multiple solutions, in that ambivalent dispute, it is understood the concept of inter-organizational arena, with convergences and divergences among sectors, governments and scales. The Brazilian educational overview is marked by a historic for hegemony in determining the educational management and its culmination in the local system, which is the impact of all other systems (global, national, state and regional). is accentuated more this context with the approval of Law No. 13,005 / 2014 establishing the new National Education Plan 2014 to 2024. In this sense, the thesis conducts an effort to overcome the macro view, permeating and deepening the look on a case emblematic of the territorial issue: the town of Abaetetuba, state of Para in the Amazon. Territory underexplored and great potential for understanding the challenging scenario of inter-organizational arena, given its territorial spread between imbricated space of rural characteristics, urban, islands and roads. As well as disputes powers in global scales, national, regional and local conforms the research object. For the research, the methodology used rests on three main strategies: 1) The socio-territorial reconstitution in the educational field, which is supported by the discourse analysis and documentation of Brazil and specific education of the local arena, in order to capture the trajectories individual and collective organization to understand the current state of the councils; 2) The inter character of the municipal councils, which seek refuge in participating observations in forums of discussions on the boards, between boards and other stakeholders, particularly in the discussion of the Municipal Education Plan - SMEs; and 3) Finally, the adherence of the theoretical and empirical categories, which aims to anchor the data collected from the standpoint of directors and inter-organizations involved. Data analysing techniques are based on these strategies using two qualitative data organization software, hIMC C-Map Tools and Atlas Ti. It is expected with the results to understand whether the educational management at the municipal level identifies gaps and define strategies between the theory of inter-organizational arena and the practice of municipal councils, answering how to set up an arena in the city Board of Education for the formulation of educational management of a complex territory?
