A contemporaneidade aponta para uma nova concepção do risco. Passa-se de uma idéia de controle e racionalidade para uma idéia de incerteza e probabilidades. Essas transformações refletem no sistema do direito, que é obrigado a decidir e enfrentar os problemas da sociedade atual. A forma como as matrizes do direito têm lidado com o risco são objeto desta pesquisa. Diante desse contexto, apresenta-se o caso do avanço da tecnologia, mais precisamente o uso polêmico das células-tronco como uma questão que o direito deve responder. Reflexões sobre a incerteza e a contingência do uso dessas tecnologias serão feitas a fim de verificar o uso sistêmico do direito como modo de observar a complexidade envolvida na questão, utilizando-se, para isso do substrato oferecido pela teoria de Beck, Giddens e Luhmann. / The contemporanity points with respect to a new conception of the risk. One transfers of an idea of control and rationality for an uncertainty idea and probabilities. These transformations reflect in the system of the right that is obliged to decide and to face the problems of the current society. The form as the matrices of the right has dealt with the risk is object of this research. Ahead of this context, the case of the advance of the technology, more necessarily is presented, the controversial use of the stem cells as a question that the right must answer. Reflections on the uncertainty and the contingency of the use of these technologies will be made in order to verify the sistemic use of the right as way to observe the involved complexity in the question, using for this the theory by Beck, Giddens and Luhmann.

Bakgrund: Evidensbaserad Design (EBD) är en process som har utvecklats för att säkerställa att beslut om planering och utformning av vårdmiljön bygger på trovärdig forskning med målet att skapa bästa möjliga resultat för personal, patienter och närstående. Vårdmiljöforskning visar att en välplanerad och genomtänkt fysisk vårdmiljö spelar en viktig roll för patientsäkerhet, patientnöjdhet och arbetstillfredsställelse hos personalen. Inom begreppsramen för EBD ingår den visuella miljön som en variation av den fysiska miljön. Det finns redan mycket forskning som undersöker olika aspekter av den visuella miljön inom vården, men det finns dock lite forskning som beskriver åtgärder som syftar till att förbättra vårdmiljön på en akutmottagning.   Syfte: Att beskriva personalens upplevelse av den visuella miljön på akutmottagningen.   Metod: En kvalitativ induktiv intervjustudie genomfördes vid två akutmottagningar i södra Sverige. Femton (n = 15) intervjuer med legitimerade sjuksköterskor, undersköterskor och läkare utfördes. Intervjuerna analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys. Resultat: Personalen vid akutmottagningen upplevde att en balanserad visuell miljö främjar välbefinnande. Balansen består av en integration av klinisk funktionalitet och estetiska intryck. Den visuella miljön kan distrahera på olika sätt, vilket skapar en avledning från stressiga upplevelser. Det kan också uppmuntra nyfikenhet och reflektion. Aspekter av den visuella miljön kan emellertid vara distraherande på ett provocerande sätt vilket i sin tur kan ökar stress. En balanserad visuell miljön skapar atmosfär för vårdande. Den visuella miljön har en stimulerande känslomässig inverkan som kan vara både positiv och negativ samt stimulera delaktighet och dialog.   Slutsats: Att skapa en balanserad visuell miljö på akutmottagningen kräver en helhetssyn som inkludera funktionella och personliga perspektiv. Man kan dra slutsatsen att en balanserad visuell miljö i slutändan kan förbättra atmosfären på akutmottagningen och därmed bidra till en stödjande miljö som främjar en känsla av välbefinnande hos personal, patienter och närstående. / Background: Evidence-based Design (EBD) is a process that has been developed to ensure that decisions on planning and design of the healthcare environment are based on credible research with the goal of creating the best possible outcomes for staff, patients and next-of kin. Research on health care design shows that a well-planned and thought out physical environment plays an important role in patient safety, patient satisfaction and job satisfaction for the staff.  Within the conceptual framework of EBD, the visual environment is included as a variation of the physical environment. There is a substantial amount of research that examines different aspects of the visual environment within healthcare, there is however little research describing interventions aimed at improving the healthcare environment in an emergency department (ED). Purpose: To describe the staff experiences of the visual environment at an ED. Method: A qualitative inductive interview study was conducted at two emergency departments in southern Sweden.  Fifteen (n=15) interviews including registered nurses, assistant nurses and emergency physicians were conducted. The interviews were analyzed using content analysis. Result: The staff at the emergency department experienced that a balanced visual environment promotes well-being. The balance consists of an integration between clinical functionality and aesthetic impressions. The visual environment can be distracting in various ways, creating a diversion from stressful experiences. It can also encourage curiosity and reflection. Aspects of the visual environment can however be equally distracting in a provocative manner, reinforcing stress. The visual environment has a stimulating emotional impact that can be both positive and negative as well as stimulating participation and dialogue. A balanced visuell environment creates an atmosphere which supports caring. Conclusion: Creating a balanced visual environment in the emergency requires a holistic approach incorporating practical and personal perspectives. It can be concluded that providing a balanced visual environment can ultimately improve the atmosphere of the emergency department and thereby promote a sense of well-being in staff, patients and next-of kin.

Das Phänomen Remake ist so alt, wie die Geschichte des Films selbst. Dennoch wird der Begriff immer wieder leichtfertig benutzt, weshalb sich die Arbeit zunächst um die Entwicklung einer praktikablen Arbeitsdefinition bemüht, welche Remakes im engeren Sinne von anderen Formen der Neuinszenierung abgrenzt, bevor in einem nächsten Schritt ausgewählte Original-Remake-Paare einer ausführlichen strukturellen Analyse unterzogen werden: Dazu werden die jeweiligen Filme in ihre einzelnen Szenen aufgegliedert und mit einem Plotschema - dem sogenannten Paradigma nach Syd Field und Hans-Ulrich Mohr - unterlegt, welches neben der allgemeinen Struktur des Films auch für die Handlung besonders relevante Szenen offenlegt und strukturelle Veränderungen offensichtlich macht, aus welchen Änderungen des Inhalts, der Handlungsrichtung und des Genres resultieren. Dazu werden die Neuverfilmungen ihren filmischen Vorgängern in direkter Weise gegenübergestellt, wodurch stilistische Mittel und inszenatorische Elemente sowie historische und kulturelle Zusammenhänge und strukturelle Unterschiede sauber ausgearbeitet und sichtbar gemacht werden können. Damit leistet diese Arbeit einen Beitrag sowohl zum noch spärlich ergründeten Feld der Remakeforschung als auch zur Debatte um die Existenz und Funktionsweise von Filmstrukturen.

The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration, FMV’s, test site in Vidsel, Norrbotten, has access to the largest area for testing and evaluating military aircraft, missiles and unmanned vehicles over land in Europe. The facility has the capacity to create many different types of test enviroments, which are continously developed to meet the customers growing requirements where the main focus is using different types of aerial targets. This project is a thesis for a Master in Mechanical Engineering and Machine Design. The purpose of the project was to develop a new brake system for the aerial tow target, SM3C. The goal of the project was to come up with a concept with enough support to say what, why and how the new concept meets the desired requirements. With a structured and iterative product development process, based on Ulrich & Eppingers theories, the identified needs of the new brake system and data from the existing product resulted in a product specification with quantifiable metrics. From the development process and product specification, the project resulted in a detailed and designed concept that was more standardized, modular and less complex than the existing product with support from theoretical analysis, experiments and simulations of the brake system. / Försvarets Materialverk, FMVs, provplats i Vidsel, Norrbotten, har tillgång till Europas största provområde för test och evaluering av stridsflygplan, robotar och obemannade farkoster över land. Provplatsen kan presentera en mängd olika testmiljöer som kontinuerligt utvecklas för att möta kundernas växande krav där fokus ligger på olika typer av luftmål. Projektet innefattar ett examensarbete för en civilingenjörsutbildning i maskinteknik med syfte att utveckla ett nytt bromssystem till det luftburna släpmålet, SM3C. Målet med projektet var att tillsammans med en funktionsanalys av det befintliga bromsystemet komma fram till ett koncept med tillräckligt underlag som kunde påvisa vad, varför och hur konceptet uppfyller de önskade kraven. Med en strukturerad och iterativ produktutvecklingsprocess, baserad på Ulrich & Eppingers teorier, bearbetades behoven av ett nytt bromssystem tillsammans med analysen av den befintliga produkten vilket gav en kravspecifikation med kvantifierbar data. Utifrån kravspecifikationen och utvecklingsprocessen, resulterade projektet i ett detaljkonstruerat koncept som var mer standardiserat, modulärt och mindre komplext än befintligt system med stöd från utförda analyser, experiment och simuleringar.

Volvo Trucks is the second-largest heavy-duty truck provider in the world. As of now they are working towards fossil free transport solutions. This comes with a fast development pace and an increasing need of being able to verify new and complex assembly processes to ensure an integration of the production of new truck models together with the current vehicles that are being produced.  This project is a master thesis that focuses on improving the quality and verification capabilities of the Pilot Plant at the Volvo Tuve site. The goal of the project is to design and develop a modular transport solution that can be used to move truck chassis at a predefined speed to be able to simulate and perform assembly tasks with the same parameters in the test environment as in the factory process along the driven line. The design was developed using the product development process described by Ulrich et al., 2020, with slight modification. The resulting design is able to move the truck chassis at the requested predefined speeds that are possible on the driven line in the factory. This solution gives Volvo the ability to perform simulations of specific and critical assembly steps, potentially resulting in fewer failures during production ramp-up of their new truck models.  Calculations were made to in order to verify the strength and functionality of the design.

This thesis re-examines the role of marriage in the golden age of seventeenth-century French comedy. It reconsiders received wisdom on the subject to challenge acceptance of the final promise of marriage as a dénouement complet to comedy. Through an analysis of the themes of discontent, cuckoldry, fertility, non-heteronormative desire and widowhood, it offers an alternative view of what comedy can encompass. Close reading of works by Molière, Quinault, (Thomas) Corneille, (Françoise) Pascal, Ulrich and de Visé establishes that comedy can be both enjoyable and satisfying while incorporating elements that conflict with the marriage ideal. This thesis does not attempt to provide a full socio-historical reading of seventeenth-century attitudes to marriage, although an understanding of contemporary attitudes provides a starting point for close textual analysis. Critical theories, notably gender theory, are used where appropriate to further clarify the role of marriage in comedy. Chapter One presents and problematizes the framework of marriage as the structuring principle of comedy, drawing on themes of compatibility, discontent and desire. The second chapter focuses on anxiety regarding cuckoldry in comedy, relating it to the promise of marriage. An analysis of the desires of older characters in projected comedic marriages, particularly as these desires relate to fertility, is the guiding principle of Chapter Three, which also sets out essential terms of reference for the fourth chapter on widowhood and queer desire. The thesis demonstrates that rather than constituting a satisfying and happy ending, a constant challenge is posed to the promise of marriage by on-stage marriages, fears of cuckoldry, widowhood, and ‘inappropriate' or queer desires. I propose a more nuanced reading, showing that comedy can be fully satisfying and structurally complete without a final promise of marriage, and that, rather, comedy can incorporate significant elements that appear antithetical to the ideal of marriage typically associated with the genre.

The central problem consists in investigating on a plan essentially practical of reflection what properly means to dwell, that is, to raise the question about the meaning and even the possibility of an effective realization of dwelling from our proper everyday life. Our path starts from the heideggerian diagnosis about the improper condition of the contemporary man and goes in the direction of a reading of dwelling as the resolution to this problem as a path to the appropriation of human essence. Along with the question about the way to achieve this appropriate condition from our everyday life, the thesis to be defended is that this way finds itself in the experience of art as the experience of truth, the moment when we should to strike up a fruitful dialogue with the aesthetic thought of Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht and his notion of presence. At the end, our hypothesis of work is that the poetic dwelling can be read as a task to be assumed individually, as a constant exercise of searching the appropriation of itself. At the end of our path, the question of the human essence should to achieve a more large scope from the recognition of the body as an integrant part of its semantic content, while dwelling should arise as a transformed posture in the relation with the world, a posture of releasement when the dweller simply leaves the things to repose on themselves. The poetic dwelling should be then articulated as the task of the appropriation of the human essence. / Nossa proposta ? a de incialmente iluminar a no??o de habitar como a articula??o do pensamento heideggeriano em torno ? quest?o da ess?ncia humana, e de faz?-lo a partir do horizonte espec?fico dos escritos tardios de Heidegger, aqueles entre as d?cadas de 50 e 60. O problema central consiste em investigar num plano essencialmente pr?tico de reflex?o o que significa propriamente habitar, isto ?, levantar a quest?o quanto ao sentido e mesmo ? possibilidade de uma realiza??o efetiva do habitar a partir de nosso pr?prio cotidiano. Nosso percurso parte do diagn?stico heideggeriano quanto a uma condi??o impr?pria do homem contempor?neo e segue em dire??o a uma leitura do habitar como a resolu??o para este problema enquanto caminho para a apropria??o da ess?ncia humana. Junto ? pergunta acerca do modo de alcan?ar essa condi??o apropriada a partir de nosso pr?prio cotidiano, a tese a ser defendida ? a de que este caminho se encontra na experi?ncia da arte enquanto experi?ncia da verdade, momento em que devemos travar um prof?cuo di?logo com o pensamento est?tico de Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht e a sua no??o de presen?a. Por fim, nossa hip?tese de trabalho ? a de que o habitar po?tico pode ser lido como uma tarefa a ser assumida individualmente, como um exerc?cio incessante de procura pela apropria??o de si. Ao fim de nosso percurso, a quest?o da ess?ncia humana deve alcan?ar um escopo mais largo a partir do reconhecimento do corpo como parte integrante de seu conte?do sem?ntico, bem como o habitar deve emergir como uma postura transformada na rela??o com o mundo, uma postura de serenidade em que o habitante simplesmente deixa que as coisas repousem em si mesmas. O habitar po?tico deve ent?o ser articulado como a tarefa da apropria??o da ess?ncia humana.

Denna uppsats innehåller min tolkning av filmen Import/Export (2007) av Ulrich Seidl i syfte att skapa ökad förståelse för människan och kulturen i dagens Öst- och Västeuropa och att få fram de föreställningar som präglar kulturmöten mellan öst- och västeuropéer. Undersökningen genomfördes med hjälp av en hermeneutisk metod i kombination med Emile Durkheims funktionalistiska teori, postkoloniala teorier och Geert Hofstedes teori om kulturdimensioner. Undersökning visade att både öst- och västeuropeiska samhällen i filmen präglas av anomi. Värden grupperade kring dikotomierna individualism/kollektivism, maskulinitet/femininitet och osäkerhetsundvikande framställs tydligast i filmen. Livsåskådningsanalys visade att en materialistisk verklighetsuppfattning dominerar i både Öst- och Västeuropa tillsammans med övervägande pessimistisk och negativ grundhållning, vilket i sin tur påverkar både karaktärernas människosyn och deras handlingar. Skillnader i livsåskådning mellan öst- och västeuropéer bygger på skillnader i de förhärskande kulturella värdena och därmed på skild människosyn. Kulturmöten mellan öst- och västeuropéer i filmen präglas av främlingsrädsla och främlingsfientlighet. De bygger på västeuropéernas koloniala föreställningar om Östeuropa och dess invånare som ociviliserade barbarer, som ska ”civiliseras” av Väst samt på östeuropéernas föreställningar om Västeuropa och dess invånare som Antikrist och ärkefiende som man ska skydda sig mot. Europas nutid framställs i filmen på ett dystert sätt. Det finns även scener som utgör paralleller till Oswald Spenglers verk Västerlandets undergångoch kan tyda på filmskaparens pessimistiska syn på Europas utveckling i riktning mot undergång.

Ce mémoire porte sur le débat autour du principe d'inassurabilité privée formulé par Ulrich Beck puis critiqué par Richard Ericson et ses collaborateurs. Nous visons à remédier à l'absence de retour sur cette controverse en proposant une contribution à la sociologie de l'assurance à travers une réflexion sur l'assurabilité. Notre méthode consiste en l'analyse de synthèse comparative dudit débat. La problématique centrale est de voir si l'économie politique de la globalisation néolibérale correspond ou ne correspond pas à une désintégration du pouvoir des institutions gouvernant l'accumulation du capital à tirer profits de la couverture assurantielle des risques de catastrophes. Suite à une revue de littérature des principales critiques de la sociologie de Beck, nous nous penchons sur la question de l'assurabilité en réfléchissant à l'articulation du risque et de l'incertitude. Nous proposons que ces deux notions entretiennent des rapports nécessitant des médiations institutionnelles et organisationnelles. Le pouvoir du capital et sa collaboration avec les institutions publiques détermineraient la nature de l'assurabilité. Nous déconstruisons ensuite la vision beckienne du capitalisme contemporain selon laquelle le pouvoir économique de la firme s'opposerait à l'État-nation. De surcroît, Beck soutient que la crise des institutions modernes face aux nouveaux risques incontrôlables frappe ultimement l'État et la firme. Par la suite, nous voyons que le PIP suggère que l'industrie de l'assurance refuserait de couvrir les risques à probabilités faibles et à conséquences catastrophiques. Or, les études empiriques menées par Ericson démontrent que la gouvernance assurantielle privée aurait garanti la couverture du risque de terrorisme suite au 11 septembre 2001. Nous concluons enfin que la thèse de la crise des institutions modernes devant la globalité des nouveaux risques, de même que la théorie post-structuraliste du pouvoir, conduisent Beck à occulter la capacité des assureurs à exploiter les opportunités de profits que représentent paradoxalement les risques de catastrophes. Dans le contexte de la globalisation néolibérale, l'État-nation et la firme s'inscrivent donc en partenariat pour garantir l'extension maximale de l'assurabilité privée en fonction de l'impératif de l'accumulation du capital. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : sociologie, risque, assurabilité, assurance, catastrophe, terrorisme, technologie, science, économie, marché, État, gouvernance.
