Like death, the defining human reality underlying our relationships and views of life's meaning, the experiences and activities of undertakers, remains an uncommon subject for psychological research. Existential anxiety roots a society-wide denial of the fundamental nature of death. which necessitates the development of institutions to take responsibility for the dying and dead. As the image and service of the stigmatised funeral industry improves, society's experience of death should become more meaningful. The overview of the research into these topics noted the need for further studies. Within a holistic, ecosystemic epistemology, this study adopted a qualitative approach and case study method, which provided descriptions of the ecology, contexts, and relationships characteristic .of the undertaker's vocation by focussing on patterned expressions of views and attitudes. The aim was to gain insight into the undertaker's experience of the many faces of death, with a genuine interest and deep respect for their world. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

Bakgrund/problem: Då svensk matproduktion länge varit dominerad av massproduktion och förädlade livsmedel, pekar nu trenden mot att allt fler intresserar sig för lokalproducerad mat. Detta innebär en möjlighet för lokalproducenter att sälja och marknadsföra sina varor i en större omfattning jämfört med tidigare. För att detta skall realiseras visar forskning att det krävs samarbete aktörerna emellan för att maximera värdet. Dock är forskningen begränsad i att förklara hur dessa samarbeten bör utformas. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka om en brandingmöjlighet skulle kunna ge upphov till ett horisontellt värdeskapande och vilka dimensioner som i så fall skulle vara kritiska i en affärsmodell för att möjliggöra denna typ av värdeskapande. Metod: Vätterns nutida förutsättningar för framtida matsamarbeten har formats som en fallstudie där kvalitativt arbetssätt använts för att samla empiriskt material. Resultatet bygger på en kombination av långa och korta intervjuer där respondenter från tre olika infallsvinklar hörts. Dessa tre infallsvinklar; samordning, aktör och marknadsföring har valts för att kunna få en holistisk syn på den angivna problematiken. Resultat/Bidrag: Resultatet av studien påvisar att en identifierad brandingmöjlighet via identitetsbyggande faktorer kan bygga ett starkt varumärke, vilket kan ligga till grund för ett horisontellt värdeskapande. För att det horisontella värdeskapandet i slutändan ska möjliggöras kräver affärsmodellen fyra kritiska dimensioner (balans av aktörer, finansiell och mobiliserande kraft, tillfredsställande ledning samt nätverkande). / Background/problem: For a long time the food industry has been dominated by mass production and refined food, though times are changing and more people are getting interested in locally produced food. This enables great possibilities for local food producers, which give them great opportunities to sell and market their goods, but it requires them to cooperate with each other. The present research is rather limited on how to create these types of cooperation in the food industry. Purpose: The purpose of this research paper is to examine if a branding opportunity can enable horizontal value co-creation and which dimensions that will be critical in a business model in order to enable that type of value co-creation. Method: A case study has been formed based upon the present conditions of Vättern to enable a food based cooperation, where qualitative methods have been used to collect data. The result is based upon a combination of in-depth and shorter interviews where the respondents represent three approaches; coordinator, stakeholder and marketing. These approaches were chosen in order to enable a holistic perspective on the problem area. Results/contribution: The study shows that a branding opportunity can result in a strong brand, which can build a foundation for horizontal value co-creation. In order to enable horizontal value cocreation, the business model requires four critical dimensions, (operators in balance, financial- and mobilizing muscle, a satisfying management and lastly, networking), which are identified in this study.

The aim of this thesis is to describe surname patterns and changes of surname among the Sami of Sweden. It presents the results of three studies. The first is a survey of the present-day stock of surnames (family names) among the Sami community, based on the 2005 electoral register for the Swedish Sami Parliament. It investigates the proportions of names deriving from different languages, and the commonest names in each group. The same study was carried out for different areas, showing that the northernmost parts of Sweden have a Sami name stock significantly different from that of the majority population. Further south, the stock of names is less marked, but no area is without Sami elements. The second study, based on archival material, concerns changes of name by Swedish Sami to newly formed surnames, over the period 1920–2004. It examines not only the names adopted, but also the ones replaced; how the name stock has been affected by different patterns of name change; and, as far as possible, who the name changers were. The study shows that, for a long time, names derived from Sami and Finnish were replaced with names formed from Swedish. This may be largely because of the stigma once attached to Sami ethnicity. More recently, Sami-language names seem to have been retained to a greater extent, possibly owing to the improved status of the culture. The third study looks at name changes in favour of names marked as Sami in character. The data consist in part of archive materials, but above all of interviews with three Sami informants who have themselves adopted Sami-language surnames. This study presents the informants’ thoughts on ethnicity and changes of name. In addition to the author’s own studies, the thesis includes a review of earlier research on Sami surnames, hereditary and non-hereditary, and a list of individual surnames with literature references regarding their origins and meanings. In the thesis, name changes are studied as a single, overall process, with an emphasis on the role of names in society, in particular as ethnic markers.

本研究依循Web 2.0內容平台的研究成果，探討在科技快速變遷之下，網路新創事業如何尋找創意靈感的源頭活水？如何以精實創業模式，節省時間與資源的浪費，透過社群經營找到商業模式創新的可能性，在競爭激烈的網路產業紅海中，快速搶占市場先機脫穎而出？ 首先，本研究針對過去許多學者在網路企業、虛擬社群、商業模式及精實創業等各理論的發展進行探討說明，接著以Eric Ries（2011）的精實創業理論與Steve Blank（2013）的精實創業三原則為研究主軸，融合Wheelwright and Clark（1994）的Design-build-test Cycle之Design Phase、Hagel Ш and Arthur G. Armstrong（1997）建立臨界數量會員的三大挑戰、Gary Hamel（2000）的事業經營模式，成為本研究分析架構的基礎。本研究採取探索性個案研究法，選取iCook愛料理及iPeen愛評網兩個企業個案，進行半結構式訪談，深入了解網路新創事業的起源、理念、發展與作法。 透過分析比較企業個案與文獻理論探討，本研究之發現如下： 一、新創事業的創意靈感來源，來自於對使用者的深入觀察及國外成功案例的啟發。創新商業模式的作法須以「企業價值主張」及「目標客群鎖定」為中心，透過「減法」方式建構最小可行方案，並融合國外創新成功因子及台灣在地文化，提升創新事業的新穎性及適地性。 二、建構虛擬社群的方式，須回歸於「產品功能介面」與「顧客使用經驗」的不斷優化，輔以知名品牌或關鍵人物的口碑宣傳，加速擴散行銷，並善用內容資產及消費者心理分析，加強產品的功能服務及客製化使用程度，以提升顧客對企業品牌的忠誠度。 三、以敏捷開發法創新商業模式，須由草根模式發展核心策略，適時參考顧客的回饋意見，不斷輸入外部知識以避免團隊核心僵化，進而加速產品開發週期循環，並藉由價值網絡的策略聯盟，累積企業的知名度與顧客流量，最後能以自身品牌資產主動創造合作網絡的價值。 最後依據結論提出網路新創事業在經營管理方面的建議，如下所述： 一、深度經營垂直性社群，輔以口碑行銷擴散社群廣度。 二、跨領域整合硬體、軟體、內容、服務各方優勢，創新商業模式的應用。 三、精實創業的過程，講求階段性開發的速度而非精準度，因此團隊成員的專業核心能力為成功的關鍵要素所在，配合顧客回饋意見及創新審核法的檢視，以薄創新的開發方式搶占市場先機。 / Based on the study results of Web2.0, this research attempted to explore how internet new businesses seek for inspiration in the era of rapid advancement of technologies? How can they discover the possibilities of inventing a new business model by taking community as the business center and seize the market in such a competitive network industries by employing the lean startup model to make good use of time and avoid wasting resources? First of all, this research aims at discussing the development of theories of internet enterprises, virtual communities, business models and the lean startup models put forward by scholars. Next, the basic structure of this research is formed by centering on The Lean Startup Model Theory (Eric Ries, 2011) and Three Principles of The Learn Startup Model (Steve Blank, 2013), and further integrates Design-build-test Cycle(Wheelwright and Clark, 1994), Three Challenges of Developing Critical Mass(Hagel Ш and Arthur G. Armstrong, 199) and Business Model Theory(Gary Hamel, 2000). This research adopted an exploratory case study method, where data was collected through semi-structured interviews with two enterprises—iCook and iPeen, to analyze and understand the origin, concepts, development and measures of innovative business network. After this study compared the analysis of the case study of the enterprises and reviewed literatures, the findings of this research are as follows. First, the inspiration of innovative businesses stem from closely studying targeted users and successful cases from overseas. Innovative business models should be “value-proposition-oriented” and “targeting-customer-oriented”, employ “subtraction” to develop a feasible plan and fuse successful elements of abroad cases and Taiwan culture into innovative business models to enhance the novelty and localization of innovative businesses. Second, the methods of establishing virtual communities should put emphasis on ceaselessly optimizing “product function interface” and “customer’s using experience”, cooperate with well-known brands or key men to promote products and marketing, make good use of content assets and customer psychology analyses, and intensify product function services and customization utilities to increase customer loyalty in business brands. Third, agile-development-based innovation business models should center A Grass Roots Model of Strategy Formation to develop core strategies, take customers’ feedback into consideration, and constantly instill external knowledge to avoid core rigidities to further accelerate product development cycle; through value network of strategic alliance, the enterprises accumulate corporate recognition and customer flow. Eventually ebterprises can establish their own brands to actively create the value of cooperative network. Finally, based on the conclusions, this research proposed three suggestions of management for the internet new business as below. First, deeply engage with vertical community and cooperate with word of mouth marketing to extent the span of community. Second, to integrate hardware, software, content and service interdisciplinarily in order to innovate the application of business model. Third, the process of The Lean Startup emphasized on the speed of phased development rather than accuracy. Therefore, the key success element is the professional skills of the entrepreneurial team members, with customer’s feedback and innovation accounting method of viewing the business in order to accelerate the development of innovation to seize market opportunities.

La société en participation ne s’analyse pas comme une société classique. Elle ne se dissout pas, elle est résolue ou résiliée, comme tout contrat de partenariat. Sa force, sa réalité, demeure dans le contrat librement choisi par les participants, tant dans son élaboration que dans l’organisation même de la société, situation intermédiaire entre un contrat classique et les sociétés institution. C’est l’application du principe d’autonomie de la volonté. Dans ce cas de figure, l’affectio societatis se rapproche le plus de la notion de jus fraternitatis, du moins lors de l’élaboration des statuts, ce que certains auteurs nomment l’affectio contractus. Finalement, en raison de son caractère éminemment contractuel, à la place de société en participation, ne faudrait-il pas plutôt l’appeler contrat de société en participation ? Il s’agit dès lors de lui reconnaître son caractère de contrat à part entière, un contrat nommé du Code civil. La jurisprudence semble aller dans ce sens. / The joint-venture company cannot be analysed like a typical firm. It cannot be dissolved; it is solved or cancelled, as is any partnership agreement. Its strength, its reality, remains in the contract freely chosen by the participants, both in its elaboration and in the very organization of the firm, which consists in an intermediate situation between a classic contract and an “institution firm”. It is the application of the principle of will autonomy. In such a case, the “affectio societatis” is as close as it gets to the notion of “jus fraternitatis”, at least during the elaboration of the statutes which some authors name the “affectio contractus”. Eventually, because of this eminently contractual character, instead of joint-venture firm, should we not call it a firm participation partnership? What’s at stake here is the acknowledgment of its full contract character, as a contract named by the Civil code. The jurisprudence seems to go in that direction.
