The study aimed to examine a deeper understanding of social workers´ perspective on identifying and asking questions about violence exposure within Intimate Partner Violence, using the theory of street-level bureaucracies with a focus on agency and knowledge and an intersectional perspective. The study is based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with eight professional social workers from Personal and family counselling services in a medium and small municipality in southern Sweden. The results indicate that social workers recognize symptoms and signs of violence exposure that appear in different ways in both children and adults. Adequate knowledge and ongoing education are considered essential for identifying and addressing violence exposure. The implementation of routines and guidelines varies and there are only general procedures for handling violence cases in all organizations, not specially for identifying or inquiring about exposure to violence. The theoretical framework highlights the social workers´ autonomy is challenged by the need to harmonize client needs with organizations goals when identifying and asking questions about violence exposure. Through the awareness of an intersectional perspective, the results reveal that social workers´ with adequate knowledge and ongoing education can decrease the possibility of subjective assessments and acknowledging that victims of violence have diverse needs and should not be categorized as a homogeneous group. / Denna uppsats ämnade att skapa en djupare förståelse för socialsekreterares perspektiv av att identifiera och ställa frågor om våldsutsatthet i våld i nära relationer, med hjälp av teorin om gräsrotsbyråkratier med fokus på handlingsutrymme och kunskap samt ett intersektionellt perspektiv. Studien grundar sig på kvalitativa halvstrukturerade intervjuer med åtta yrkesverksamma socialsekreterare som arbetar inom individ – och familjeomsorgen i en mellanstor och mindre kommun i södra Sverige. Resultatet visar att socialsekreterare identifierar symtom och tecken på våldsutsatthet som uppträder på olika sätt hos barn och vuxna. Adekvat kunskap och vidareutbildning bedöms nödvändigt för att identifiera och ställa frågor om våldsutsatthet. Tillämpande av rutiner och riktlinjer är varierande och det finns endast generella rutiner och riktlinjer för hantering av våldsärenden i alla verksamheter och inte specifika sådana för att identifiera och ställa frågor om våldsutsatthet. Det teoretiska ramverket synliggör socialsekreterarens handlingsutrymme som utmanas av att harmonisera klientens behov med organisationens mål gällande att identifiering och ställa frågor om våldsutsatthet. Genom en medvetenhet om ett intersektionellt perspektiv visar resultatet att socialsekreterare genom adekvat kunskap och vidareutbildning kan reducera möjligheten av subjektiva bedömningar och förståelsen för att våldsutsatta har olika behov och inte bör kategoriseras som en homogen grupp kan uppnås.

As financial crime increases, banks face greater challenges in preventing money laundering.Since it is the employees of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML)-departments who play acrucial role in combating money laundering, this study will examine their attitudes andprofessional role. The study uses a qualitative method, where semi-structured interviewswere used for data collection. To continuously revise and further develop, an inductiveexploratory approach has been used. The study's theoretical framework is based oninstitutional theory, profession theory and theory of legitimacy, which together helped tocreate an analysis of the collected data. The results of the study indicate that the AMLdepartment is not only a recipient of external regulations but also plays an active role in thebank's ethical obligations. It also appears that employees' motivation is not primarily drivenby compliance with laws and regulations. Instead, the motivation lies in contributingpositively to society. The contribution to society strengthens the professional identity ofthe professional role. In their day-to-day work, AML-staff face significant challenges relatedto bank secrecy, which limit the possibilities for information exchange between banks andthus make it difficult to effectively combat money laundering.

資訊科技導入組織的主要目的就是要為組織帶來最佳的效益。然而資訊科技導入的案例有半數以上是不成功的。作者會用不同的理論及實務來探討資訊科技與組織之間的互動關係，企圖了解問題的癥結並找出對策。每一種研究的方式都會因理論以及個案的差異而有不同的結論。本個案嘗試採用結構化理論、科技結構化理論以及組織例規理論這三個彼此有關聯的理論為基礎，以組織例規(Organizational Routines) 為視角，配合一個由知名全球化外商公司轉換為本土跨國公司的一個企業電腦事業群之產品資料管理（Product Data Management, PDM）科技的導入與持續使用四年的狀況為研究標的，以質性個案研究方法透過長期觀察、實務分析以及近期訪談來蒐集資料並整理分析，企圖從本個案進展的八年期間所發生的重要事件，來分析PDM科技與組織之間的互動關係，並發掘該事業群產品生命週期的組織運作要點，PDM科技背後的精神以及PDM科技在該事業群能夠持續運作四年下來的原因。更期望透過本研究讓即將導入PDM科技或者已經在使用該科技的組織能夠從例規的角度來思考組織成員、科技以及組織制度三者之間的關係，進而從中獲取可借鏡之處。 / The major purpose of introducing information technology into an organization is to bring the most value of the technology out to the organization. However, the results show that more than half of the cases failed to fulfill that purpose. Researchers have developed different theories to describe the interaction between technology and organization in order to come up with solutions for successful introduction of technology into organization. Naturally, different theories, together with different real practices, may draw different conclusions. This study tries to apply three most prominent inter-related theories: “Structuration Theory”, “Structural Model of Technology” and “The Theory of Organizational Routines,” to a selected case of implementing PDM (Product Data Management) into one of the Business Groups of Taiwan-based global IT company to analyze why and how its case turned out to be sustainable four years after the go-live. With that, this study also tries to derive useful information for enterprises with similar background for their upcoming introduction of information technology into their organizations. Organizations with existing information technologies in place may also be able to reflect on this study for possible fine-tuning opportunities.

De nous jours, les modèles se référant aux comportements individuels représentent la pensée dominante pour comprendre les choix alimentaires dans le domaine de la nutrition en santé publique. Ces modèles conceptualisent les choix alimentaires comme un comportement de consommation décidé de façon rationnelle par des individus, en réponse aux multiples déterminants personnels et environnementaux. Même si ces modèles sont utiles pour décrire les déterminants des comportements individuels d’alimentation, ils ne peuvent expliquer les choix alimentaires en tant que processus social façonné en fonction des individus et des lieux, dans des contextes diversifiés. Cette thèse élabore le Cadre Conceptuel sur la Pratique des Choix Alimentaires afin d’explorer les choix alimentaires comme phénomène social. En utilisant le concept de pratique sociale, les choix alimentaires des individus symbolisent une relation récursive entre la structure sociale et l’agence. Ce cadre conceptuel nous donne un moyen d’identifier les choix alimentaires comme des activités sociales modelées sur la vie de tous les jours et la constituant. Il offre des concepts pour identifier la manière dont les structures sociales renforcent les activités routinières menant aux choix alimentaires. La structure sociale est examinée en utilisant les règles et les ressources de Giddens et est opérationnalisée de la façon suivante : systèmes de significations partagées, normes sociales, ressources matérielles et ressources d'autorité qui permettent ou empêchent les choix alimentaires désirés. Les résultats empiriques de deux études présentées dans cette thèse appuient la proposition que les choix alimentaires sont des pratiques sociales. La première étude examine les pratiques de choix alimentaires au sein des familles. Nous avons identifié les choix alimentaires comme cinq activités routinières distinctes intégrées dans la vie familiale de tous les jours à partir d’analyses réalisées sur les activités d’alimentation habituelles de 20 familles avec de jeunes enfants. Notre seconde étude a élaboré les règles et les ressources des pratiques alimentaires à partir des familles de l’étude. Ensuite, nous avons analysé la façon dont les règles et les ressources pouvaient expliquer les pratiques de choix alimentaires qui sont renforcées ou limitées au sein des familles lors de la routine spécifique à la préparation des repas et de la collation. Les ressources matérielles et d'autorité suffisantes ont permis d’expliquer les pratiques de choix alimentaires qui étaient facilitées, alors que les défis pouvaient être compris comme etant reliés à des ressources limitées. Les règles pouvaient empêcher ou faciliter les pratiques de choix alimentaires par l’entremise de normes ou de significations associées à la préparation de repas. Les données empiriques provenant de cette thèse appuient les choix alimentaires comme étant des activités routinières qui sont structurées socialement et qui caractérisent les familles. Selon la théorie de la structuration de Giddens, les pratiques routinières qui persistent dans le temps forment les institutions sociales. Ainsi, les pratiques routinières de choix alimentaires façonnent les styles d’habitudes alimentaires familiales et contribuent par ailleurs à la constitution des familles elles-mêmes. Cette compréhension identifie de nouvelles directions concernant la façon dont les choix alimentaires sont conceptualisés en santé publique. Les programmes de promotion de la santé destinés à améliorer la nutrition sont des stratégies clés pour prévenir les maladies chroniques et pour améliorer la santé populationnelle. Les choix alimentaires peuvent être abordés comme des activités partagées qui décrivent des groupes sociaux et qui sont socialement structurés par des règles et des ressources présentes dans les contextes de pratiques de choix alimentaires. / Models of individual-behaviour currently represent the dominant understanding of food choice in public health nutrition. This model frames food choice as a dietary intake behaviour rationally decided by individuals in response to multiple personal and environmental determinants. While useful in describing determinants of individual dietary behaviours, the model cannot explain food choice as a social process shaped in relation to people and places associated with diverse contexts. This thesis presents the Food Choice Practice Framework to explore food choices as social phenomena. Using the concept of social practice, food choice is proposed as an interplay of social structure and agency. The framework provides a means for identifying food choices as activities patterned among, and constituting, day to day life. It furnishes concepts to identify how social structures reinforce routinized food choice activities. Social structure is examined using Giddens' notions of rules and resources and operationalized as: shared systems of meanings, social norms, material resources, and authoritative resources that enable or constrain desired food choices. The empirical work from two studies supports the proposition that food choices are social practices. The first study in the thesis examines food choice practices in families. We identified food choices as five distinct routinized activities integrated among the usual feeding activities of 20 families with young children. The second study elaborated the rules and resources of food choice practices from the study families. We then analyzed how rules and resources could explain both enabled and constrained food choice practices experienced by families in the specific routine of creating regular meals and snacks. Adequate allocative and authoritative resources helped explain enabled routine food choice practices, while challenges could be understood as coming about through limited resources. Rules could constrain or enable food choice practices through sanctioning norms and meanings associated with creating meals. The empirical work supports understanding food choices as routinized activities that are socially structured and which characterize families. According to Giddens' structuration theory routinized practices that endure through time form social institutions. Therefore routinized food choice practices shape characteristic styles of eating patterns in families, as well as contribute to the constitution of families themselves. This understanding identifies new directions for the way food choice is conceptualized in public health. Health Promotion programs designed to improve nutrition are key strategies for the prevention of chronic disease and improvement of population health. Food choices can be approached as shared activities that describe social groups, and explained as socially structured by rules and resources present in the contexts of food choice practice.

Les erreurs récurrentes et systématiques dans les processus de décision stratégique sont fréquentes ; et les théories actuelles des organisations sont insuffisantes pour les expliquer. La « Behavioral Strategy » suggère de lier ces erreurs à la psychologie des décideurs, et notamment à leurs biais cognitifs. Toutefois, cette vision suppose de connecter le niveau d’analyse de l’individu et celui de l’organisation. Nous proposons pour ce faire un niveau « méso », la routine de choix stratégique (RCS), où interagissent la psychologie des décideurs et les décisions stratégiques. Après avoir distingué trois types de RCS, nous formulons des hypothèses d’intervention sur celles-ci visant à prévenir les erreurs stratégiques. Nous illustrons ces hypothèses par six cas pratiques, en testons certaines par une étude quantitative, et analysons les préférences qui conduisent les dirigeants à les adopter ou non. Nous concluons en discutant les implications théoriques et pratiques de notre démarche. / Many types of strategic decisions result in recurring, systematic errors. Extant theories of organizations are insufficient to account for this phenomenon. Behavioral Strategy suggests that an explanation may be found in the psychology of decision makers, and particularly in their cognitive biases. This, however, calls for a link between individual-level cognition and affects, and organization-level choices. We propose “Strategic Choice Routines” as a middle level of analysis to bridge this gap, and identify three broad types of Strategic Choice Routines.This leads us to formulate hypotheses on how Strategic Choice Routines can be modified to minimize strategic errors. We illustrate these hypotheses through case studies; test some of them quantitatively; and analyze preferences that drive their adoption by executives. Finally, we discuss theoretical and managerial implications.

The main objective of this thesis is to describe agenda building process in Czech news media on the example of health news. The thesis is based on the concept of agenda-setting which operates with the term "media agenda". The fundamental question of media agenda building is how and why some topics get to the news while others not. Two separate pieces of research have been conducted for the purpose of this thesis. Firstly quantitative content analysis explores how selected Czech news media report on health news during 2013. The analysis is focused on daily press Mladá fronta Dnes, Lidové noviny, Hospodářské noviny, Právo, Česká televize TV news, and Český rozhlas radio news. Secondly, interviews with journalists who are or were devoted to the health news describe media routines forming media content. The result based on the two research methods is a description of health newsgathering. Particularly, the issues in question are how health journalists receive ideas for their stories, what motivates them, who forms health news, what role plays intermedia agenda, public relations materials or human stories.

This Master's degree thesis deals with a specific area of creative industries: development of mobile applications. The aim is to identify and understand the work routines of Czech iOS developers while considering the importance of design as one of the benchmarks of mobile application quality on the Apple App Store. I mainly focus on mapping work routines of selected developers and their thinking about design in the context of Apple devices and iOS platform, assuming that Apple establishes a high standard of visual and functional qualities. I am addressing an issue of application usability not only in terms of design of the user interface, but also its functioning and more aspects of application development within the ecosystem of Czech mobile app industry. The theoretical part of my thesis subjectively describes fundamental concepts from the mobile app development field and theories related to the topic. Empirical part of the study is based on qualitative interviews with 9 Czech mobile app developers and following thematic analysis. This study can serve as an interesting resource of understanding of the work of Czech mobile app developers, how they think about design and Apple as a platform or as a solid foundation for further quantitative investigation to confirm or revise my findings.

Detta examensarbete ämnar till att identifiera kvalitetsproblem inom den studerade organisationen varpå kvalitetstekniska tillvägagångssätt appliceras i syfte av att framställa lösningsförslag. Rapporten innefattar teorierna SWOT, Sociala medielandskapet, hörnstensmodellen, processmodellering, processmognad, TQM, PDSA-cykeln, statistisk processtyrning, Ishikawadiagramoch tidigare forskning som anses adekvat. Arbetet är vidare en fallstudie där kvalitativa och kvantitativa data, övervägande av primär art, skapat underlag för rapportens innehåll. Resultat tyder på att det inom den studerade organisationen råder brist på nödvändiga rutiner och resurseffektivitet för att möjliggöra fortsatt progression. Företagets resurser nyttjas ineffektivt vilket anses hämma företagets utvecklingsmöjligheter. Att det inom organisationen finns kvalitetsproblem har utmynnat i en oönskad mängd ouppfyllda bokningar, en företeelse kallad timeouts. Företeelsen har sedermera lett till förlust av potentiell inkomst. Presenterat resultat påvisar vidare att det inom den studerade organisationen finns goda förutsättningar för tillväxt. Slutsatser som kan dras påvisar att den studerade organisationen i samförstånd med tidigare forskning står inför utmaningen att skapa balans mellan ettagilt arbetssätt och processmognad. Bristen på dokumentation och rutiner samt ett ineffektivt resursutnyttjande utgör stora hot mot tillväxt varpå tre lösningsförslag har presenterats. I rapporten redovisas följande tre lösningsförslag: förbättring av processmognad, förvärv av stylister samt aktivering av befintliga stylister och anskaffning av extrapersonal. För vardera enskild lösning har en individuellt utformad handlingsplan och en preliminärt utformad tidplan upprättats. / This thesis aims to identify quality problems within the studied organization, whereupon quality-technical approaches are applied in order to produce solution proposals. The report includes the theories SWOT, Social Media Landscape, Cornerstone Model, Process Modeling, Process Maturity, TQM, PDSA Cycle, Statistical Process Control, Ishikawa Diagram and previous research that is considered adequate. The work is a case study where qualitative and quantitative data, predominantly of the primary form, created the basis for the report's content. Results indicate that there is a lack of necessary routines and resource efficiency within the studied organization to enable continued progression. The company's resources are used inefficiently, which is considered to inhibit the company's development opportunities. The fact that there are quality problems within the organization has resulted in an unwanted amount of unfulfilled bookings, a phenomenon called timeouts. The phenomenon has subsequently led to a loss of potential income. Presented results further demonstrate that within the studied organization there are good conditions for growth. Conclusions that can be drawn show that the studied organization, in agreement with previous research, faces the challenge of creating a balance between an agile working method and process maturity. The lack of documentation and routines as well as inefficient resource utilization represent major threats to growth, after which three solutions have been presented. The report presents the following three solution proposals: improvement of process maturity, acquisition of stylists and activation of existing stylists and acquisition of extra staff. For each individual solution, an individually designed action plan and a preliminary design timetable have been established.

När sjöbefälsstudenter befinner sig på den fartygsförlagda praktiken innebär det begränsade möjligheter till fysisk aktivitet. Faktorer som långa arbetstimmar, dåligt väder och sömbrist kan påverka sjöbefälsstudenterna till sjöss. Rekomendationer från Folkhälsomyndigheten menar att vuxna personer från 18 år behöver utöva en fysisk aktivitet minst 150 minuter per vecka vid måttlig intensitet för att inte bli för stillasittande. Enligt Maritime Labour Convention ska det finnas ett fritidsutrymme ombord på fartyg över 3000 GT vilket gör att det finns möjligheter för fysisk aktivitet ombord på dessa fartyg. Syftet med denna undersökning var att beskriva den fysiska aktiviteten hos sjöbefälsstudenter när de är ute på fartygsförlagd praktik och när de har campusförlagd utbildning. Syftet var även att jämföra hur respondenterna från sjökapten- och sjöingenjörsutbildningen förhåller sig till varandra vad gäller fysisk aktivitet. Undersökningen syftade även till att visa om de fysiskt aktiva sjöbefälsstudenterna använde sig av någon form av träningsrelaterade kosttillskott. Metoden utgjordes av en kvantitativ studie i form av enkätundersökning med fasta svarsalternativ och frågor med graderad inställning. Urvalet bestod av 90 respondenter från sjökaptens- och sjöingenjörsprogammen på en sjöbefälsskola. Rådata sammanställdes i frekvenstabeller för att sedan kunna avläsa hur fördelningen i variabeln såg ut. För att tydligare redovisa fördelningen av variabeln sammanställdes rådata slutligen i stolpdiagram. Resultatet visade att respondenterna var mer fysiskt aktiva när de befann sig på den fartygsförlagda praktiken än när de befann sig på campus. Ökningen i den fysiska aktiviteten hos sjöingenjörsrespondenterna syntes tydligare medan sjökaptenernas ökning var marginell. Respondenterna utförde fler träningspass i veckan men kortade ner längden på träningspassen. Majoriteten av respondenterna på sjöbefälsskolan var fysiskt aktiva trots att faktorer som väder, långa arbetstimmar och otillräcklig sömn påverkade dem. Undersökningen visade också att ungefär hälften av respondenterna som utförde fysisk aktivitet använde sig av träningsrelaterade kosttillskott i samband med träningen. Det vanligaste kosttillskottet i samband med träning som respondenterna använde sig av var proteinpulver. Respondenternas anledning till att använda kosttillskott berodde på att de fick ut mer av sin träning. / When students of the Nautical Science and the Marine Engineering Programmes are on the ship-based internship, this means limited opportunities for physical activity. Factors such as long hours of work, bad weather and a lack of sleep can affect the students while at sea. Recommendations from the Public Health Authority mean that adult persons from the age of 18 need to exercise a physical activity at least 150 minutes per week at moderate intensity so as not to become too sedentary. According to the Maritime Labor Convention, there will be a leisure space aboard ships over 3000 GT, which means that there are opportunities for physical activity on board these vessels. The purpose of this survey was to describe the physical activity of students when they are on a ship-based internship and when they have campus-based education. The purpose is also to compare the students of the Nautical Science Programme to the students of the Marine Engineering Programme when it comes to physical activity. The study also aimed to show whether the physically active students used some form of exercise-related dietary supplements. The method consisted of a quantitative study in the form of questionnaires with fixed response alternatives and questions with a graded approach. The sample consisted of 90 respondents from the Nautical Science Programme to the students of the Marine Engineering Programme at a Naval institute. Primary data was compiled in frequency tables to be able to read how the distribution in the variable looked. In order to clarify the distribution of the variable more clearly, the primary data was finally compiled in bar charts. The result showed that the respondents were more physically active when they were on the ship-based practice than when they were on campus. The increase in the physical activity of the Marine Engineering 'respondents appeared clearer while the Nautical Science respondents increase was marginal. Respondents performed more training sessions a week but shortened the length of the workout. The majority of respondents at the naval institute were physically active despite factors such as weather, long hours of work and insufficient sleep affecting them. The study also showed that about half of the respondents who performed physical activity used exercise-related dietary supplements in connection with the exercise. The most common dietary supplement in connection with training that the respondents used was protein powder. The respondents' reason for using dietary supplements was because they got more out of their training.
