Introduktion. Föreliggande studie har redogjort för studenters uppfattning om stalkning i kontexten där gärningspersonen är främmande för offret. Stalkning som fenomen är så pass omfattande att det diskuteras i termen om ett eventuellt folkhälsoproblem. Då det är ett tämligen outforskat område i Sverige finns få studier gjorda kring allmänhetens uppfattning av stalkning. Studiens syfte var att undersöka huruvida studenters uppfattning om stalkning skiljde sig åt beroende på om de tilldelats ett stalkningsscenario med ett idealiskt eller ett neutralt offer. Metod. Totalt 44 studenter från Mittuniversitet deltog i studien med mixad design. Deltagargenererade skripts analyserades kvalitativ med en förhållandevis öppen metodologi. Resultat. Övervakning och förföljelse utgjorde de vanligast förekommande stalkningsbeteendena. Stalkningstypologin den inkompetente rapporterades i signifikant högre utsträckning i den idealiska gruppen, och typologin den hämndlystne förekom endast i den neutrala gruppen där den också var vanligast förekommande typologi. Ingen skillnad förelåg mellan den idealiska och den neutrala gruppen i uppfattningen om stalkningen som en brottslig handling. Diskussion. Studenters uppfattning av stalkning i studiens kontext överensstämmer i stort med den uppfattning som forskning har visat att allmänheten har kring fenomenet stalkning. Skillnader i stalkningstypologier mellan den idealiska och den neutrala gruppen härleds till hur offret framställts i de två scenariorna vilket kopplas till Christies teori om det idealiska offret. Framtida forskning bör undersöka hur psykisk problematik hos ett offer påverkar samhällets brottsofferbemötande. / <p>2014-06-03</p>

Over the last few years, research about trust in e-commerce has been conducted. Research has found different elements that might induce trust in such a website. However, this paper examines how trust in mobile travel applications and applications where the users can meet new people can be increased, by conducting an online survey and interviews. Different trust increasing elements are found, while using the application Travls as a case study in this research.

This project thesis begins to close the gap between the lack of resources and support for many undocumented African immigrants in New England and their need to access multiple forms of assistance. It links my theological and biblical vision for neighborhood transformation with the philosophical framework of community building. It considers the meaning of community within the context of the Christian calling to build a community of strangers in a pluralistic society like the United States of America. The project thesis advocates the creation of community outreach programs focused on emotional support, legal support, and spiritual refuge for undocumented African immigrants, based on the theological notion of hospitality as a biblical practice. The project thesis concludes by spotlighting the vocational calling of African immigrants using Nehemiah, Ezra, and the contemporary Jewish community in the Diaspora as biblical and contemporary example.

The knife is a major character in my work. Sections of paper, cut, painted, and bound together form shallow reliefs. In recontextualizing quotidian objects such as fruit, plants, curtains, and shrimp cocktails, they are reconfigured, their original functions replaced with those of physical pleasure and perversion. Caught in private moments of leisure and play, anonymous fetishistic and often mundane subjects pose with theatricality heightened by graphic forms and a high-contrast palette. Strangers exist between actions. Each composition appears to take place before or after an event. Restrained scenes reveal a conservative eroticism. Dark humor and absurdity distill queer images. Themes of control, anxiety, and desire embed within each psychological arrangement. Though based on true stories and real people, the following accounts are fictional, designed to contextualize the aforementioned scenarios.
