The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the lived experience of suffering through the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The experiences of 13 individuals who lived suffering through the 2010 earthquake in Haiti were elicited. Heideggerian hermeneutical phenomenology served as both the guiding philosophy and methodology for this research study, while Eriksson’s (1981) theory of caritative caring provided the caring science lens. Diekelmann, Allen, and Tanner’s (1989) seven-stage method of hermeneutical analysis provided the structure for data analysis. The relational themes that were interpreted were: Experiencing the Unimaginable, Awakening to a Changed Reality, Agonizing for Others, Compounding Losses, Finding a Way Forward, and Being Transformed. These six relational themes are illuminated and aesthetically re-presented in six watercolor paintings. The constitutive pattern Suffering With and For Others expressed the meaning of suffering for participants through the 2010 earthquake in Haiti as a lived experience. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2017. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Síntesis: Esta tesina, "Un análisis de la traducción del sueco al español de los fenómenos y palabras culturales en Vi på Saltkråkan", trata de si es posible traducir del sueco al español una obra llena de palabras y expresiones específicas para la cultura sueca. La autora de esta tesina ha examinado si es posible traducir del sueco al español el libro Vi på Saltkråkan, escrito por Astrid Lindgren, sin perder aspectos importantes de la trama, o el entendimiento de la cultura sueca.Para hacer esta investigación la autora ha leído paralelamente el original Vi på Saltkråkan y la traducción Vacaciones en Saltkråkan. El resultado muestra que hay muchas diferencias formales entre los dos textos. La mayoría de ellas tratan de cosas específicas de la cultura sueca, pero que han perdido el sentido al traducir el texto a otra lengua y adaptándolo a ésta. Inicialmente hay una hipótesis de que estas diferencias podían afectar la trama también, pero el resultado muestra que en esta traducción no es así, con lo que esta hipótesis no se verifica. Las diferencias entre el original y la traducción afectan a cómo entiende el lector la cultura sueca y el medio ambiente. Tales diferencias no tienen importancia para la trama, pero sí se ha constatado en la investigación que es difícil traducir la expresión cultural de una lengua a otra atendiendo aspectos culturales sin perder lo específico de cada texto y cultura. Hipótesis: Es difícil traducir una obra del sueco al español sin perder algo del original porque hay palabras y sintagmas específicos de la lengua fuente. La traducción pierde lo que es específico para la autora y la cultura sueca, y esto puede hacer que la obra pierda algo esencial de la trama. La traducción de una obra, de una lengua a otra, no resulta idéntica en cuanto a la cultura, porque muchas veces hay dificultades en traducir lo que es específico para la cultura fuente. Objetivo y propósito: Voy a analizar Vacaciones en Saltkråkan, la traducción del sueco al español del libro Vi på Saltkråkan, escrito por Astrid Lindgren, para ver si esta obra pierde la trama o el sentido del texto original. El propósito es examinar si se presentan errores y pérdidas en la traducción que puedan afectar lo específico de este texto. Y si hay, voy a analizar qué tipo de pérdidas y errores, y ver si existen palabras o traducciones que serían mejor en este contexto.

On September 12, 2015, a 37-year-old doctor named Martin Trenneborg kidnapped a woman from Stockholm named Isabel Eriksson. He locked her in a bunker on his yard in Östra Göringe kommun. The woman was reported missing and six days after the kidnapping, Martin Trenneborg and Isabel Eriksson returned to Stockholm to tell the police that she was ok. Later that day she managed to tell the police that she was kidnapped. Martin Trenneborg was later sentenced to eight years in prison.  The aim of this study is to examine how the case is framed in two Swedish newspapers and examine the differences between tabloids and broadsheets. This study examines the media coverage of this case in the two newspapers Kvällsposten and Kristianstadsbladet. Previous studies shows that there is a difference between tabloids and broadsheet. It also shows that there is a difference between how victims and perpetrators are portrayed, which can be connected to media stereotypes of the “ideal victim” and the “ideal perpetrator”.  Through a qualitative framing analysis, we examine how Martin Trenneborg, Isabel Eriksson and the case is framed in the two Swedish newspapers. The conclusion of this study matches with the previous research. It can be said that there are both similarities and differences between Kvällsposten and Kristianstadsbladet. Both newspapers chose to report on the same events but in different ways. What seperated them were the sensational expressions in the tabloids. The victim and the offender were portrayed differently in both newspapers depending on what the article focused on, as the study’s frames prove.

The aim of this thesis study is to examine questions regarding truth in fiction, the term literarytruth. The study is based on the two works of fiction, Märit by Ing-Marie Eriksson (1965) and Eufori by Elin Cullhed (2021). Märit and Eufori both enable interesting approaches to thequestion of truth in fictional literature from different perspectives. Märit, being the only bookin Sweden to be sentenced for defamation, and Eufori being a fictive story about the historicalperson Sylvia Plath. The research questions will be explored through the theory of the readers'contract and the term faction and be discussed in a wider perspective regarding both readingand writing. We can claim to write truth, we can claim to write untruth. We can seek inspiration for ourcharacters both from within and without. But literary truth is not only found in the text itself. Itis also about paratexts, media presence and the author's own statements about the novel. It is onthis basis that the author's intention is visible, and the reader's contract is established. Literarytruth can thus be found both inside and outside the text.

The thesis focuses on the reflection of the discovery of America by the Norsemen, and does so in three steps. Firstly, the approach to and the significance of the Norse voyages to America in the medieval materials, and especially in the Vinland sagas, are presented. This part is accompanied by a general introduction into the sagas. Secondly, the situation in the 19th century is introduced. In this period a lot of scientific works as well as works of art aiming at the Norse voyages to the New continent arose. The factors that led to this increased interest are explored, e.g. national movement in Scandinavia. Thirdly, the contemporary reflexion of the Norse discovery of America is analyzed (particularly its influence on works of art, society, politics and scientific research). The methodology used in this thesis is discourse analysis, which points out to the changing reflexion of the given topic.

This diploma thesis deals with component-based software development using an advanced process object methodology in problem domains with multilayer process logic. In the present study, the corporate process domain Human resources management (HRM -- Human Resource Management) was analysed and its process and data modelling on selected process subsystems was carried out. It is modelling was brought to a successful conclusion by creating target software in the form of a component system applying the object methodology Unified Process (UP) with associated dominance of development of component systems. The obtained component system of the Human Resource Management domain was physically implemented using the Java NetBeans Platform component model

Flerspråkig litteratur är långt ifrån ett nytt fenomen, men forskningsområdet är fortfarande mycket underutforskat. Syftet med studien är att studera språkväxling i flerspråkig lyrik sett ur ett translanguaging-perspektiv. Metoden utgörs av en analysmodell för flerspråkig skönlitteratur som är inspirerad av såväl språkvetenskapliga som litteraturvetenskapliga studier. Materialet består av totalt nio diktutdrag från tre diktsamlingar av tre olika författarskap. Resultatet visade att språkväxlingarna fyller mångahanda funktioner såsom att göra dikterna flerdimensionella, att deras form särskilt genom sina oklara språkgränser har betydelse för diktinnehållet, och att flera paralleller kan dras till tankar inom translanguaging-konceptet i fråga om effektiv kommunikation, språklig kreativitet och skapandet av ett utrymme för translanguaging. Slutsatsen är att flerspråkig lyrik är mångfacetterad med många tolkningsmöjligheter och att ett translanguaging-perspektiv gav resultatet en djupare innebörd.

This thesis covers with the topic of process management and organization modeling. The goal is to design a future state of process architecture in selected department of a multi-national company, which is based on ISO / IEC TR 29110-5-1-2:2011 for very small entities, complemented by techniques of agile methodologies. The final form of the future proposal includes the conceptual and detail design according to the aforementioned standard, supported by the selected agile techniques, adjusted for the results of the differential analysis of conceptual and detail design and current status. The theoretical part presents the issue of process management and modeling standards and a methodology for modeling and control of IT processes. The practical part is devoted to the application of the selected standard for IT management processes and agile techniques that support this standard. The proposed process architecture is modeled using the selected methodology MMABP and prescribed standards. The work can serve as an inspiration for the company that would be suited a combination of traditional and agile approaches to IT.

This essay aims to examine whether the Swedish patron Ernest Thiel had any aesthetic influence on the contemporary art scene in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Based on a selected group of his commissioned artworks, the study analyzes to what extent Thiel was involved in the creative process. The applied method consists of Panofsky’s iconographical- iconological method, a study of primary sources and literature of art history, and a contextual analysis based on Anne D’Alleva’s theory. The chosen method shows that Ernest Thiel was not engaged in the creative process of his commissioned artworks. Correspondence between Thiel and the commissioned artist reveal that Thiel acted more as afinancial patron, leaving the aesthetics to the artist. Rather than providing his own artistic directives, the intention with his commissioned artworks suggests that his aim was to promote and encourage the artists’ own sense of style. Furthermore, this act of patronage illustrates his genuine appreciation for the artist he supported. This study also exposes the lack of knowledge of the portrait “Porträtt av Hjalmar Söderberg” and the artistry of Gerda Wallander, from whom Thiel commissioned his artwork. The study therefore suggests further research of Gerda Wallander’s artistry as well as of Ernest Thiel’s commissioned artworks, since this is uncharted territory in art history.
