Syftet med denna C-uppsats var att skapa en inblick i den svenska mötesindustrin genom att undersöka tre större mötesanläggningar i Sverige. Detta har gjorts med hjälp av de anställda på de undersökta mötesanläggningarna. Utgångspunkten i denna uppsats var att de mest grundläggande delarna på en mötesanläggning innefattar dess fysiska struktur och organisationsstruktur. Syftet har även varit att lyfta fram de anställdas perspektiv då respondenterna pekat på de delar inom dessa områden som uppfattats som mest betydande för bedrivandet av respektive mötesverksamhet. Uppsatsen är huvudsakligen en kvalitativstudie med semistrukturerade intervjuer, vilka har genomförts för att få en djupare förståelse för de anställdas syn på verksamhetsdriften på respektive mötesanläggning. Intervjuerna har genomförts med sammanlagt nio anställda, varav tre genomfördes på plats på anläggningen,tre per telefon och tre per mail. Uppsatsen bygger på svaren från våra respondenter, tidigare forskning samt den presenterade referensram som har arbetats fram utifrån respondenternas svar. Resultatet av denna studie visar att de delar inom fysisk struktur och organisation som de anställda lyfter fram som mest betydande för bedrivandet av den egna verksamheten tar sig i uttryck genom lokalisering, flexibilitet, hållbarhet och samarbeten. / The purpose of this essay is to create a greater insight into the Swedish meetings industry by examining three major meeting facilities in Sweden, and to create this insight through the employees at the surveyed facilities. Our starting point was that the most basic elements of a meeting facility include the physical structure and the organizational structure. The aim has thus been to highlight the employees' perspective within these parts of the operations that is perceived as most significant for the conduct of each meeting operation. This study is primarily a qualitative one using semi-structured interviews conducted to gain a deeper understanding of the employees' vision of the operations at each meeting facility. The interviews were conducted with a total of nine employees, three of which were carried out on the spot, three by phone and three via e-mail. The essay is based on the responses of the respondents and previous research. The results of this study shows that the parts within physical structure and the organizational structure that the employees highlights as the most important for the conduct of the operations are presented as location, flexibility, sustainability and co-operations.

Studying this issue is important because the management of the physical structure, equipments and furniture of the schools should be considered as strategic as it is important to create a school environment that will contribute to a better learning process. The methodology is implemented and used as a qualitative research method case study. In the field research, managers, who were participants of the Training Program for Managers School in distance (Progestão), editions of 2004, 2005, 2005, 2006, 2007/2008, 2008/2009, 2009/2010, 2010/2011 and 2012, were interviewed by using a questionnaire. To be more accurate this study was based on a document analysis and indirect observation of the author who works at SRE / SL. Furthermore, correlated topics such as: strategic and participative management, the dimensions of school management and the job roles of managers. In addition to this, was considered how the management of physical structure, equipments and furniture of the school may affect school performance. The results obtained in this study show that for managers in the physical structure and school equity there is a need for training that goes beyond available by Progestão and the Action Plan brings a proposal to improve this situation.

nÃo hà / Apresentar diretrizes bÃsicas que sirvam de subsÃdios para um modelo de estrutura fÃsica, organizacional e mÃtodo de administraÃÃo, passÃvel de ser desenvolvido em um Centro de Pesquisa ClÃnica, pÃblico ou privado, à o objetivo deste trabalho, que foi construÃdo a partir de pesquisa bibliogrÃfica. Os ensaios ou estudos clÃnicos constituem o estÃgio mais caro e mais longo do processo de desenvolvimento de um medicamento e sÃo desenvolvidos em Centro de Pesquisa ClÃnica que à uma organizaÃÃo pÃblica ou privada, legitimamente constituÃda e habilitada para a realizaÃÃo de pesquisa clÃnica. O conjunto de regras e procedimentos junto com os recursos materiais (edifÃcios, equipamentos, etc.) forma a estrutura de uma organizaÃÃo. A abordagem sobre a estrutura para Centro de Pesquisa ClÃnica ocorreu em dois eixos: a Estrutura FÃsica e a Estrutura Organizacional. O modelo de administraÃÃo discutido partiu da anÃlise dos modelos existentes, identificando-se um mesmo princÃpio em todos eles, abrangendo as funÃÃes administrativas essenciais para qualquer instituiÃÃo: o planejamento, a organizaÃÃo, o comando, a coordenaÃÃo e o controle. Customizamos um modelo de avaliaÃÃo de empresas para a consecuÃÃo do PrÃmio Nacional da Qualidade, pela FNQ, que à utilizado por inÃmeras organizaÃÃes lÃderes de classe mundial adequando-o em um modelo de AdministraÃÃo da Qualidade. Definiu-se 12 fundamentos necessÃrios para a administraÃÃo de um Centro de Pesquisa, qualificando-o para competir em um mercado globalizado do sÃculo XXI, quais sejam: Pensamento SistÃmico; LideranÃa; VisÃo de Futuro; EstratÃgias e Planos: Planejamento; ValorizaÃÃo das Pessoas: gestÃo de competÃncias; Aprendizado Organizacional; Cultura e InovaÃÃo; OrientaÃÃo por Processos e InformaÃÃo; GeraÃÃo de Valor; Conhecimento e entendimento sobre o Cliente e o Mercado; Desenvolvimento de Parcerias; Responsabilidade Social. / The aim of this work, built from bibliographical research, is to present basic guidelines that serve as support for a model of physical and organizational structure, and method of administration, to be implanted in a Clinical Research Center, public or private. The clinical trials or studies constitute the most expensive and time-consuming part of the drug development process. It usually takes place at a Clinical Research Center, a public or private organization legally constituted and authorized to perform clinical research. The set of rules and proceedings together with the material resources (buildings, equipments, etc.) form the structure of an organization. The approach on the structure for the Clinical Research Center occurred in two areas: Physical Structure and Organizational Structure. The model of administration discussed was based on the analysis of the existent models, identifying the same basis in all of them, including the administrative essential functions for any institution: the planning, organization, command, coordination and control. We customized a model of evaluation of companies, used by the National Quality Foundation in the attainment of the National Prize of Quality, which is used by many leading organizations world-class, adapting it into a model of Quality Management, in which we defined 12 necessary basis for the administration of a Research Center, in order to qualify it to compete in the globalized market of the XXI century, which are: Systemic Thought; Leadership; Vision of the Future; Strategies and Plans: Projection; Adding Value to People: management of competences; Systematic Learning; Culture and Innovation; Direction by Processes and Information; Generation of Value; Knowledge and understanding of the Client and the Market; Development of Partnerships; Social Responsibility.

Text in English / Accompanied DVD with printed record / In this dissertation, I explore music styles from Tshianzwane village in HaMakuya, in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, particularly malende, tshigombela, and children‘s songs. I consider the music styles as embedded in their extra-musical physical structure and abstractions; social rituals; frame of reference; forms of habitus; social order; cultural capital; social meanings, behaviour, power hierarchy, status, space, agency, institutions; formal-informal education and means; symbols; musical instruments; dance; religion; ancestor worship; traditional health practice; norms and values; mentorship and rites of passage. I further explore how and why music performers and other cultural patterns at Tshianzwane interpenetrate with each other and their living space through social roles; demonstration-imitation learning method; enculturation; dialectics of normative-interpretive, embodiment-hexis or cues, internalizationexternalization, surface-deep structure, conscious-unconscious level, qualitativequantitative understanding of music styles and genres and local-foreign context; means of communication; reinterpretation and redefinition of concepts. In conclusion, I consider how people and cultural patterns at Tshianzwane, through interpenetration, form progressing and changing social web; social connections; attachments; trance; state of flux in cultural patterns; synthesis of cultural patterns; embedded contexts; shared culture and resultant cultural patterns. Since cultural patterns, as a result of interpenetration, reflect each other, I point out the challenges in socio-spatial mapping of forms of habitus and cultural patterns. In my dissertation, I use John Blacking‘s work as my primary theoretical framework. Furthermore, I use Pierre Bourdieu‘s theoretical framework, and Hugh Tracey‘s and David Dargie‘s audio CDs on African tribal music to enrich my theoretical ground. I collected my field data at Tshianzwane in collaboration with Joseph Morake and Ignatia Madalane (students), Dr Susan Harrop-Allin (supervisor), Samson Netshifhefhe, Obert Ramashia, Paul Munyai and Musiwalo (informants). / M.

This research has been performed in the framework of the Virtuhcon project, which intends to virtualize high temperature conversion processes. Coal gasification is one of these processes, which is nowadays considered as a promising technology for the chemical industry. This study is devoted to the coal char physical structure, which is one of the most important parameters influencing coal gasification reaction. First, this study presents the extensive literature review of the char physical structure role during its conversion. Collection of the char structural properties as well as their changes during char conversion are shown and discussed. Literature review is followed by the experimental investigations. Chars prepared from two brown coals (Lusatian and Rhenish) were gasified in a laboratory scale fluidized bed reactor in CO2 at temperatures of 800, 850, 900, and 950 °C and atmospheric pressure. Char samples were gasified completely as well as partially in order to evaluate the reaction kinetics and char structural changes during the reaction, respectively. Complete gasification curves were evaluated by different methods, including application of three gasification models (the Random Pore Model, the Volume Reaction Model, and the Shrinking Reaction Model), instantaneous reaction rate approach as well as the self-developed surface-related reaction rate approach. The results of different approaches were compared. This study also presents a comprehensive methodology to analyze coal char physical structure. The variety of measurement techniques (gas physical adsorption, mercury porosimetry, helium pycnometry, SEM, etc.) were applied to assess structural properties of the char, such as specific surface area, particle density, porosity, pore size and shape, structure morphology, etc. Problems associated with the choice of a proper measurement technique and the comparability of the data delivered by different techniques were discussed. The main objective of the study was to link char structural changes to the char gasification kinetics. The specific task of this thesis was to investigate pore size in relation to their availability for the reaction. As such, specific surface areas of pores of different sizes (from sub-micro to mesopores) were correlated to the instantaneous reaction rates. Both chars exhibit similar trends in their structural changes during gasification, although the absolute values differ, especially with respect to the pores of microscale. Furthermore, structural changes were caused not only by the reaction but also by the influence of the heat treatment, especially at the earlier stages of the reaction. The most reasonable correlation has been achieved between the instantaneous reaction rate and the specific surface area of mesopores. Sub-micro- and micropores did not govern the gasification reaction under given conditions. Finally, kinetic parameters derived from different evaluation methods were reapplied in order to test their ability to predict the experimental data. Each of the method has its advantages and disadvantages as used for the kinetic evaluation. The results of this study represent a substantive base of the experimentally derived data concerning physical structure and morphology of coal char. The findings can be used in numerical and simulation studies for development, validation, and improvement of the models which consider coal particle as a reactive porous solid.
