A Reflection on the use of the narrative analogy in couples' counselling : a case example

Botha, Petro 11 1900 (has links)
Text in English / In this study the use of the narrative analogy in couple's counselling has been outlined. A literature study situates the narrative analogy within a wider philosophical framework. The underlying assumptions of the narrative analogy, both in general and in the work with couples, as well as the role of the counsellor using the narrative analogy, are explored. A case example is described to illustrate the use of the narrative analogy. / Social Work / M. Soc. Sc. (Mental Health)

Rozvoj rytmického cítění prostřednictvím hudebně pohybových cvičení u gymnastek mladšího školního věku / Development a sence of rhythm through musical and movement exercises gymnasts at primary school age

Kašparová, Alena January 2016 (has links)
Characterization work: The rhythm of the movement is considered one of the basic assumptions of the optimum design movement technique. It develops musical-physical assumptions, and therefore a rhythmic feeling, which is important in children's categories. These assumptions can influence the appropriate intervention program of music and movement activities. Well mastered rhythm and movement patterns contribute to the successful acquisition of a variety of physical activities and sports performance in the final. Objective: The aim of this work is to elaborate an intervention program focused on music and movement activities. These activities develop and enhance music assumptions with mainly a sense of rhythm, coordination of movement and an ability to handle performance music, as well as movement etudes for children of school age. The intervention program is made up of several sections that include activity without music, as well as with music and activities with sounding tools. Methodology: In my work I used empirical method of research - testing. We worked with experimental (EG) and control (CG) group. Both groups underwent input diagnostic rhythmic abilities. Subsequently, on the basis of diagnosis, age-old practice and literature, I created a musical movement intervention program for the...

A boa-fé como critério definidor da extensão de direitos trabalhistas aos empregados públicos não submetidos à prévia aprovação em concurso público e sua demostração em juízo / A goodfaith as the defining criterion extension of labor rights to public employees not subject to prior approval in public tender and your statement in court

Carvalho, Fabio Gonzaga de 13 November 2013 (has links)
O presente trabalho possui preponderantemente a natureza de pesquisa teórica, sem, contudo, olvidar-se aspectos empíricos, documentais e históricos. As múltiplas naturezas decorrem da relevância dos fundamentos teóricos e do caráter imprescindível dos documentos existentes e da história por de trás das normas pertinentes. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi a busca de um critério jurídico que sirva como alternativa à solução ofertada pelo Tribunal Superior do Trabalho por meio da Súmula n.º 363 aos empregados que prestem trabalhos à Administração Pública à míngua de prévia aprovação em concurso público. Pretendeu-se demonstrar a necessidade de se diferenciar os trabalhadores que ignoram a prestação de trabalho para a Administração Pública daquelas que têm conhecimento da natureza jurídica de seu empregador em um cenário em que o concurso público é pressuposto formal sem o qual o ato jurídico que vincula os sujeitos da relação de emprego é invalido. Como referências teóricas foram utilizadas a teoria geral do Direito do Trabalho, em especial dos contratos de trabalho, a teoria geral dos atos jurídicos, nomeadamente as teorias da nulidade e da ineficácia, a ponderação de princípios, a harmonização de princípios, a boa-fé e, ainda, a teoria geral da prova em razão das repercussões processuais do estudo. Por fim, como resultado, demonstrou-se que a utilização da boa-fé como critério diferenciador da concessão de direitos aos empregados que trabalhem para a Administração Pública sem a prévia aprovação em concurso público proporciona harmonização entre o princípio do valor social do trabalho e os princípios regentes da Administração Pública. / This work has mainly the nature of theoretical research, without, however, forgetting is empirical aspects, and historical documentary. The multiple natures derive the relevance of the theoretical and the essential nature of existing documents and the story behind the relevant standards. The aim of this study was to search for a legal test that serves as an alternative to the solution offered by the Superior Labor Court by Precedent n. 363 employees who provide jobs to government starved prior approval in tender. It was intended to demonstrate the need to differentiate Worker who ignore the provision of work for the Public Administration of those who have knowledge of the legal nature of their employer in a scenario in which the tender is formal assumption without which the legal act that binds the subject of the employment relationship is invalid. Theoretical references were used the general theory of labor law, especially of labor contracts, the general theory of legal acts, including the theories of invalidity and ineffectiveness, the weighting of principles, harmonization of principles, good faith and also the general theory of proof because of the procedural implications of the study. Finally, as a result, it was shown that the use of good faith as a differentiating criterion for granting rights to employees who work for the Public Administration without prior approval in tender offers harmonization between the principle of the social value of work and governing principles of public administration.

Desconsideração da personalidade jurídica: limitações e aplicação no direito da família e sucessões / Disregard of legal entity: limitations and application on family and inheritance law.

Campos, Renato Luiz Franco de 12 February 2015 (has links)
O objetivo desta dissertação foi o estudo do instituto da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica, em sua modalidade inversa, e sua aplicabilidade no direito de família e sucessões, principalmente na partilha de bens - efetivada no divórcio ou dissolução de união estável -, na execução de alimentos e na sucessão legítima. A escolha do tema decorreu da necessidade do estabelecimento de pressupostos e requisitos objetivos para a aplicação da disregard na seara do direito de família e sucessões. A utilidade e adequação da abordagem da matéria se justifica pela instabilidade jurídica provocada pela acriteriosa aplicação da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica nas relações familiares. Por outro lado, o enfoque crítico desenvolvido no presente trabalho se justifica pela existência de corrente doutrinária que defende a aplicação da desconsideração em inúmeras situações familiares nas quais outros remédios, já seculares, de direito material ou processual seriam igualmente eficazes, sem que fosse necessária a drástica declaração de ineficácia da separação patrimonial entre a pessoa jurídica e seu sócio. Buscou-se apontar, desta forma, os meios existentes para se alcançar o mesmo resultado prático apresentado pela disregard, mas com a utilização de outras figuras, tais como a simulação, a fraude contra credores e a fraude à execução, ficando, por via de consequência, a aplicação da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica, restrita às hipóteses em que não há quaisquer outros meios para se evitar ou buscar a reparação dos prejuízos advindos da utilização das pessoas jurídicas com abuso da personalidade jurídica, desvio de finalidade ou confusão patrimonial. / The aim of this dissertation was the study of the doctrine of the disregard of legal entity, but in its inverted form, as well as its application to family law, particularly in the division of assets usually enforced in divorces and dissolution of stable union in alimony claims and inheritance law, specifically the forced heirship - legitimacy. The choice of this topic resulted from the necessity of stablishing objective assumptions and requirements for the application of the disregard doctrine to family and inheritance law. The utility and adequacy of the approach to this dissertation title is the legal instability generated by the inaccurate application of the disregard doctrine in family relationships. On the other hand, the critic approach developed over this dissertation is justified by the existence of positions sustained by renowned lawyers in the sense that the disregard doctrine may be applicable to family situations that should be, in fact, subjected to other existing remedies, without the Court interference declaring the void of the splitting of assets of the company and the assets of the shareholder. This dissertation intended to demonstrate the existing ways to have the same practical result eventually reached with the application of the disregard doctrine, using other figures such as sham, disguising and fraud, what makes the disregard doctrine restricted to cases in which there is no alternative other that its application to compensate damages resulted from the misuse or the abuse of legal entities.

Att mötas i varandras annanhet : En vetenskaplig essä om förskolan som komplex mötesarena av relationer, erfarenheter och föreställningar / To meet in each other’s otherness : A scientific essay about preschool as a complex meeting arena of relationships, experiences and assumptions

Unefäldt, Britta January 2018 (has links)
I min vetenskapliga essä beskriver jag självupplevda situationer som behandlar fyra barn i förskolan och pedagogernas agerande. Berättelserna handlar vid första anblick om pedagogers relationsbyggande och relationskompetens och huruvida de lyckas eller misslyckas att bemöta barnets behov och känslor. I ett relationellt perspektiv, behandlas den första forskningsfrågan, hur pedagogen kan möta barnet för att bygga en god och professionell relation. Det relationella perspektivet har ett fokus på mötet mellan pedagog och barn, med begrepp som relationsbyggande, relationskompetens, barnets perspektiv, trygga relationer; utifrån docenten Emilson, professor Frelin, familjeterapeuterna Juul & Jensen, barnforskaren Johansson samt professor Aspelin och amerikanska professorerna McNally & Slutsky. Jag vidgar mitt synfält med den andra forskningsfrågan, hur pedagogen kan förstå och möta den andres annanhet. Genom ett hermeneutiskt perspektiv söker jag förstå och möta annanheten som varje människa besitter och hur detta påverkar mötet mellan pedagogerna samt mellan pedagog och barn. Jag reflekterar över mitt eget och andras agerande. Jag synliggör hur föreställningar om barnet och min konstruktion av pedagoger, kan påverka min förståelse för och mötet med den andre. Polisen Heder behandlar att professionen ansvarar för ett empatiskt möte. Filosofen Gadamer och hans begrepp förståelsehorisont, används genomgående, tillsammans med begreppet annanhet. Fil.dr. Bjervås och docenten Emilson bidrar till en ytterligare förståelse för annanheten, genom olika föreställningar om barnet. Vidare reflekterar jag över min konstruktion av den andre samt även mitt ansvar i kunnandet, med hjälp av docenterna Hjertström Lappalainen & Schwarz. Syftet med essän är att problematisera förskolan som en komplex mötesarena av relationer, erfarenheter, annanheter och föreställningar, vilket jag med mina perspektiv och forskningsfrågor ämnar synliggöra. Begreppet förståelsehorisont och mötet med annanheten, har givit mig en bredare blick för mitt framtida kunnande. Metoden har varit essäskrivandet, min berättelse, reflektion över erfarenheten, den teoretiska förankringen, mentorsamtal och en skrivgrupps reflektioner. Undersökningsmetoden har varit berikande då min praktiska kunskap har problematiserats och kan således utvecklas. / In my scientific essay, I describe self-experienced situations that deal with four children in preschool and the educators' actions. The stories are at first sight about educators' relationship building and relationship skills and whether they succeed or fail to respond to the child's needs and feelings. In a relational perspective, the first research question is addressed, how the educator can meet the child to build a good and professional relationship. The relational perspective focuses on the encounter between educator and child, with concepts such as relationship building, relationship skills, the child's perspective, safe relationships; from the docent Emilson, Professor Frelin, family therapists Juul & Jensen, child researcher Johansson and Professor Aspelin and American Professors McNally & Slutsky. I broaden my sight with the second research question, how the educator can understand and meet the other's otherness. Through a hermeneutic perspective, I seek to understand and meet the otherness each person possesses and how this affects the encounter between the educators as well as between educators and children. I reflect on my own and others' actions. I visualize how assumptions of the child and my construction of educators, can affect my understanding of and the encounter with the other. Policeman Heder deal with the profession as responsible for an empathetic encounter. The philosopher Gadamer and his concept horizon of understanding, is used consistently, with the concept otherness. PhD Bjervås, and the docent Emilson contribute to a further understanding of the otherness, through different assumptions of the child. Furthermore, I reflect on my construction of the other as well as my responsibility in the know-how, with the help of docents Hjertström Lappalainen & Schwarz. The purpose of the essay, is to problematize preschool as a complex arena of encounters, with relationships, experiences, otherness and assumptions, which I aim to make visible with my perspectives and research questions. The concept horizon of understanding and the encounter with the otherness, has given me a broader view of my future know-how. The method has been my essay writing, my story, reflection on the experience, the theoretical framework, mentor conversation and a writing group’s reflections. The research method has been enriching as my practical knowledge has been problematized and can thus be developed.

Eggplants and Peaches: Understanding Emoji Usage on Grindr

Moses, Emeka E 01 May 2018 (has links)
This study focuses on how gay men communicate on the Grindr dating app. Prior research has been conducted on how gay men construct their online identities, however, few studies explore how gay men experience interactions online, negotiate their relationships with other men online, and perceive other users. The researcher conducted in-depth interviews with 20 men who use the Grinder app, a location-based dating app used by men who have sex with men. Additional data were collected by observing user profiles on the app, which is free and public. This comprehensive, qualitative study of gay men who use Grindr provides insights into identity construction, communication tactics, and users’ feelings about their encounters on the app.

En tävlingsorienterad organisationskultur – vad har det för betydelse för motivationen? : En studie om försäljare inom en specifik butikskedja

Ismail, Marina, Timurtas, Jennifer January 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine the experience of organizational culture among salespeople at a specific workplace. The purpose was also to investigate what motivates these salespeople in their work and the impact culture has on their motivation. We have used a qualitative research method to collect the empirical material. With the help of seven interviews, including six salespeople from one of Sweden’s biggest electronic retailer and also one information interview with a sales consultant, we attempted to find the answer to how they perceive the organizational culture and how it affects their work motivation.  The following questions are used to fulfill this purpose:   How do the salespeople experience the organizational culture?   What motivates the salespeople in their daily work?   What effects does the organizational culture have on the salespersons motivation?  As analytical tools we have used are the concept of organizational culture, Schein's description of the three components of culture and Herzberg Motivation-Hygiene theory.  The results of the study indicate that the salespeople experience a positive organizational culture and that this culture promotes fellowship and unity between colleagues, which in turn contributes to an enhanced motivation. Our study also shows that there are other factors contributing to the salespeople’s motivation such as conscious efforts of the organization and the factors that are built in into their daily work. A strong contest culture is also shown in the organization, the colleagues compete amongst each other to become the best salesperson. / Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur försäljarna inom en specifik butikskedja upplever organisationskulturen på sin arbetsplats. Syftet var även att undersöka vad som motiverar försäljarna i deras dagliga arbete samt vilken betydelse organisationskulturen har på försäljarnas motivation.  Vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod för att samla in det empiriska materialet. Vi har tagit hjälp av sju intervjupersoner varav sex försäljare i en av Sveriges största elektronikkedjor och en informant som informationskälla till försäljaryrket. Med hjälp av dessa intervjupersoner har vi försökt få svar på hur de upplever organisationskulturen och vad i denna organisationskultur som påverkar deras motivation. Följande frågeställningar används för att uppfylla detta syfte:   Hur upplever försäljarna organisationskulturen?   Vad motiverar försäljarna i deras dagliga arbete?   Vilken betydelse har organisationskulturen på försäljarnas motivation?  Som analysverktyg har vi använt oss av begreppet organisationskultur, Scheins förklaring av organisationskulturens tre olika beståndsdelar samt Herzbergs Motivation-Hygien theory.  Resultatet av undersökningen påvisar att försäljarna upplever organisationskulturen positivt och att denna organisationskultur främjar gemenskapen och samhörigheten mellan kollegorna, vilket i sin tur bidrar till en ökad motivation bland försäljarna. Vår studie visar även att det finns ytterligare faktorer som bidrar till försäljarnas motivation, såsom medvetna insatser från ledningen och faktorer som är invävda i det dagliga arbetet. Även en stark tävlingskultur påvisas i organisationen, där försäljarna tävlar sinsemellan för att bli den bästa säljaren.

Value-laden risk assessment and biotechnology regulation in Canada

Ahmad, Rana Amber 17 September 2003
<p>Canadas regulatory system is science-based and relies on risk assessment to inform decisions about which products of biotechnology (and other technologies) are safe enough for commercial application. Since regulation involves the loss of certain liberties, it is imperative that any regulatory regime be as objective as possible. Scientific risk assessment seems to be a good way to produce the information, which guides policy makers since it involves quantitative analysis and the production of seemingly objective data.</p><p>The view adopted by regulators and in current risk assessment practices is that objective means value-free. Therefore, because risk assessment data is scientific it is thought to be value-free but this is not the case. Risk assessment necessarily involves value assumptions. Assumptions must be made at all stages of the production of risk data. This does not mean, however, that risk assessment is hopelessly subjective. The notion of value-free objectivity can be replaced with the view that genuine objectivity arises through peer review and social discourse. Regulators can adopt this understanding of objectivity to acknowledge the value-ladenness of risk assessment data.</p><p>At present, the value assumptions made by industry, government and private scientists during risk assessment go largely unnoticed yet have an effect on the outcome of regulatory decisions. Such assumptions must be recognized in order to ensure that the decisions made about the risks society face are not biased. This is particularly true in the case of biotechnology regulation. The development of the science of biotechnology has occurred concurrently with the development of the biotech industry creating the opportunity for industry-biased risk assessments.</p><p>It is possible to make changes to the existing regulatory regime in Canada in order to avoid some of the major problems associated with unrecognized value assumptions in risk assessment. A complete restructuring of the regime is unnecessary, however. Maintaining the current regulatory structure with some minor changes could address these problems. These changes include: creating an independent review board, making explicit that value assumptions are part of risk assessment in government advisory reports, and enhancing the role of regulators. Canadas regulatory system can better address the risks associated with biotechnology if it acknowledges that risk assessment is value-laden.</p>

Nya IAS 19 : Inför borttagandet av korridormetoden 2013 / New IAS 19 : Prior to the removal of the corridor method in 2013

Quiroga Badani, Pamela, García Vargas, Tania January 2011 (has links)
Bakgrund och problem: IAS 19 genomgår en ny förändring då en av redovisningsmetoderna för aktuariella vinster och förluster avskaffas. Korridormetoden, som fungerar som en utjämningsmekanism är den mest frekvent tillämpade metoden av stora börsnoterade bolag i Sverige. Avskaffningen av metoden väntas få effekter på dessa företags finansiella ställning då företag 2013 kommer tvingas ta fram sina oredovisade aktuariella förluster och redovisa dessa i sin helhet. Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera berörda aktörers uppfattning om nya IAS 19 som träder i kraft 2013 samt vilken påverkan den förväntas ha på börsnoterade företag som idag tillämpar korridormetoden. Metod: Genom intervjuer inhämtade vi material av kvalitativ natur. Data av denna karaktär är bäst lämpad för vår studie då vi vill undersöka inställningar till en förändring som ännu inte har trätt i kraft och som kommer beröra företags finansiella rapportering. Resultat och slutsats: Kritiken från två av de tillfrågade gällande korridormetoden rör inte den utjämningsmekanism som finns, utan snarare att metoden inte har genomfört sitt syfte som man upptäckt på senare år.  Detta har i sin tur lett till att företag samlat på sig stora aktuariella förluster i samband med sina pensionsåtaganden. Då IAS 19 har krävt flera omarbetningar och den senaste modifieringen av standarden kan ses som en tillfällig lösning tills att man kommer fram till en metod som speglar skulden på ett mer korrekt sätt. Borttagandet av korridormetoden har enligt respondenterna fler fördelar än nackdelar vilket för pensionsredovisningen vidare i utvecklingen. Dock medger alla respondenter att komplexiteten fortfarande är för bred för att IAS 19 inte ska kräva ännu mera omarbetning. Vi ser ännu inte att problemen med pensionsredovisningen är nära att nå sitt slut. Respondenternas attityder kring problemet är att en förenkling eftersträvas men vägledning som leder till lösning på problemet är ännu mer avlägset. Ingen av våra respondenter har framfört att borttagandet av korridormetoden är självaste lösningen på problemet. Förslag till vidare forskning: Vi skulle tycka det vore intressant om man undersökte efter övergången till en av de andra två metoderna för att mäta de effekter som slopandet av korridormetoden medförde. Hur stora aktuariella förluster fick företag inom Large Cap? / Background to problem: IAS 19, is undergoing a new change when one of the accounting methods to actuarial gains and losses is eliminated. The corridor method, which acts as a clearing mechanism is the most frequently applied method of large listed companies. Abolishment of the method is expected to have an impact on their financial position starting in the year 2013. Companies are forced to report its unrecognized actuarial losses and account these entirely. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to study the actors' perception of the new IAS 19 which comes into force in 2013 and the expected impact on the large listed companies applying the corridor method at present. Methodology: We acquired materials of a qualitative nature through interviews. Data of this nature is best suited for our study because we want to examine the settings for a change that has not yet entered into force and is expected to affect the company’s financial reporting. Conclusions: The criticism from two of the surveyed does not concern the meaning of the standard IAS 19 parse, but rather that the method has not fulfilled its purpose as exposed in recent years. This has in turn led to accumulated actuarial losses related to its pension commitments.IAS 19 has required several revisions, and the latest modification of the standard can be viewed as a temporary solution until a method that reflects the debt in a more accurate way is achieved. Removal of the corridor method, according to respondents, has more advantages than disadvantages which leads the pension accounting further in development. However, all respondents admit that the complexity is still too wide for IAS 19, and will require more adjustments. We do not see that the problems with pension accounting are close to reaching its end. Respondents' attitudes to the problem are that the simplification is needed, but guidance that leads to the solution of the problem is even more remote. None of our respondents have said that the removal of the corridor approach is the solution to the major problem of pension accounting. Suggestions for further research: We would find it interesting if a study is made after the transition to one of the other two methods, measuring the impact of the abolition of the corridor approach. How large actuarial losses were companies in the large-cap hit of?
