The first part of thesis describes the Efficient Market Theory, its characteristics and forms. Another theoretical approach are Behavioral Finances that can also explain the stock market price making. The main topic is Financial Market Anomalies that defy the Efficient Market Theory. Anomalies state that an investor is able to achieve above average profits in the long term regularly. The thesis is focused on two anomalies selected for further testing on the data of companies traded on German exchange Xetra. Data was obtained from Yahoo Finance and processed for statistical tests. Anomalies occurrence was scarce, therefore it cannot be said that an investor is able to achieve above average profits in the long term regularly.

The point of my thesis is to describe the process of transformation social services of an Day and Week Care Center Jihlava. The data for practical part this work I has been gathering since spring 2013 till the day I finish my work. As respondents was selected from 28 users of Week care center. That is the maximum limit of this local service. In the theoretical part of my thesis I focuse on process of the deinstitutionalization and transformation defining social services (Week care-center and Safe Housing) and try to depict past and present situation specificaly in Czech republic and European Union.

A Semana Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia é um evento anual que busca mobilizar a população brasileira em torno de temas da Ciência e Tecnologia. Desde a primeira edição, em 2004, a Universidade de São Paulo promove um processo de Divulgação Científica por meio de ações de extensão. Apesar de, atualmente, o modelo de \"feira de ciências\" ser a principal estratégia usada pela universidade na maioria das edições do evento, pouco se conhece além do número de visitantes, escolas e ações oferecidas pelos museus e institutos que participam da feira. O presente trabalho busca investigar como ocorrem os processos de elaboração e execução do evento e como o público interage com os expositores. A pesquisa de natureza qualitativa conta com o suporte teórico da Teoria da Atividade, referencial que permite leitura complexa do fenômeno estudado, por sua abordagem histórico-cultural. O foco de análise é a sistematização das Atividades dos sujeitos para localização de contradições e tensões, elementos fundamentais para o surgimento de Ciclos Expansivos de Aprendizagem. Para isso, foram feitas entrevistas semiestruturadas com expositores, organizadores e um representante do Ministério da Ciência Tecnologia e Inovação (MCTI). A interação do público com os estandes foi registrada em áudio e vídeo. A análise dos dados permitiu a construção do modelo da Atividade dominante do evento, ou seja, de uma Atividade comum a todos os sujeitos envolvidos na feira, caracterizada como Atividade de Negociação entre Ciência e Sociedade. Também foram caracterizadas as Atividades dos expositores, organizadores e visitantes. Na Atividade de Extensão Universitária, realizada pelos expositores, foi possível identificar que os diferentes sujeitos encontramse em níveis de reflexão diferentes a respeito do trabalho que desenvolvem. A Atividade de Produção do Evento, executada pelos organizadores, apresentou três ciclos de aprendizagem expansiva, mostrando um amadurecimento da organização. Foi possível, ainda, identificar uma interrupção dessa aprendizagem expansiva. Ao analisar a Atividade de Visitação, foi possível perceber a importância do interesse prévio do estudante para a decisão de visitar um estande. Foram caracterizados os tipos de interação encontradas nos estandes, bem como os objetos usados pelos expositores para a construção do discurso. Estes dois elementos permitiram apontar as diferenças na duração das visitas, sendo a combinação destes determinantes para a atração do estande e a retenção do mesmo em um estande. A identificação das Atividades permitiu a construção hierárquica do Sistema de Atividades, no qual observou-se como elementos das Atividades em níveis inferiores eram influenciados pelos objetos transformados das Atividades dos níveis superiores. Sob a ótica dos níveis hierárquicos de contradição proposto por Engeström (1987), foi possível perceber a predominância de contradições terciárias, aquelas que ocorrem entre as Atividades de um sistema, e de contradições primárias, aquelas que ocorrem em um elemento da Atividade. Como contribuição para as discussões na Teoria da Atividade, propõe-se quatro categorias de contradições que emergiram da análise do evento: contradições na esfera das concepções de valores; contradições na esfera da comunicação; contradições de caráter organizacional; e contradições de caráter político. / The National Science and Technology Week is an annual event that seeks to mobilize the population around issues of Science and Technology. Since its first edition, in 2004, the University of São Paulo promotes science communication through outreach activities. Although currently the model of \"science fair\" is the main strategy used by the university in most editions of the event, little is known beyond the number of visitors, schools and programs offered by museums and institutes at the fair. This study aims to investigate how the organization and execution of the event occurs and how the public interacts with the exhibitors. The qualitative research has the theoretical support of the Activity Theory, framework that allows complex interpretation of the phenomenon studied because of its historical-cultural approach. The focus of analysis is the systematization of the subjects Activities to locate contradictions and tensions, fundamental elements for the development of Expansive Learning Cycles. For that, semistructured interviews were conducted with exhibitors, organizers and a spokesman of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. The interaction of the public with the stands was recorded on audio and video. Data analysis allowed the construction of a model of the dominant activity of the event, that can be explained as a common activity to all those involved in the fair, characterized as Trading Activity between Science and Society. Also the Activities of the exhibitors, organizers and visitors were characterized. In the University Outreach Activity, carried out by the exhibitors, was possible to identify that the different subjects are at different levels of reflection about the work they do. The Event Production Activity, performed by the organizers, presented three Expansive Learning Cycles, showing a maturing organization. It was also possible to identify an interruption of this expansive learning. By analyzing the Activity of Visitation, it was possible to realize the importance of student interest prior to the decision to visit a stand. There were characterized types of interactions found in the stands as well as the objects used by exhibitors for the construction of the speech. These two elements allowed us to point out the differences in the duration of visits, and the combination of these determinants for attracting visitors to the stand and for their retaining. The identification of activities allowed the hierarchical construction of the Activity System, in which was observed as elements of Activities at lower levels were influenced by the transformed objects of the Activities of the upper levels. From the perspective of hierarchical levels of contradiction proposed by Engeström (1987), it was revealed the predominance of tertiary contradictions, those between the activities of a system, and primary contradictions, those that occur in an Activity element. As a contribution to the discussions for the Activity Theory, we propose four categories of contradictions that emerged from the event analysis: contradictions in the sphere of values conceptions; contradictions in the sphere of communication; contradictions of organizational character; and contradictions of political character

L’analyse d’une culture se fait aussi à partir de l’analyse de la religiosité. Nous traiterons donc ici des fêtes de la Semaine Sainte dans deux villes du monde lusophone : São João del Rei et Braga, en nous appuyant à la fois sur l’histoire et sur l’anthropologie. La teneur culturelle de ces fêtes a représenté une véritable motivation qui nous a poussés à chercher à en comprendre la dimension contemporaine mais aussi à retracer leur parcours historique en tant que manifestations culturelles. Nous présenterons ces fêtes catholiques dès leur implantation dans ces deux sociétés influencées par la culture baroque qui s’est développée au XVIIIème siècle, jusqu’à leur réalisation de nos jours. La Semaine Sainte a été pensée comme un espace de sociabilité, de représentation sociale et d’affirmation d’une identité de ces deux villes. La fête sera traitée ici comme un texte rempli de significations. Notre analyse est principalement axée sur la recherche de la signification de la persistance d’éléments culturels dans ces moments festifs qui concentrent relations et processus social dans la société contemporaine. Nous tenterons de constater avec le maximum d’objectivité, les ruptures qui se sont opérées dans la pratique des ces fêtes et de définir les nouvelles significations de ces solennités en tant que documents qui ont traversé les temps sous forme d’une pratique sociale fortement enracinée. / This research is about the Holy Week’s religious celebrations wich have been practiced in São João del-Rei (Brazil) and Braga (Portugal), two Lusophone world’s cities, relying on both Anthropology and History. We intend to present the catholic celebration in these two societies which are influenced by the baroque culture from XVIII century till nowadays. In our research the Holy Week is comprehend as a social representation space as well as an identity assertion of these two societies. Our analysis focuses primarily on searching the cultural elements persistence in these celebrations that condense the social processes in contemporary society. We have tried to observe, in an objectivity way, the ruptures and the ceremonies constructions that have occurred in these celebrations practices and which are supposed to define new ceremonies meanings as a proof beyond the time seen as a deeply rooted social practice.

Missa chrismatis and Its Changes in the Twentieth Century: A Comparison of Changes in Liturgy and Theology. Missa Chrismatis (Chrism Mass) is a Mass that the bishop celebrates in the Holy Week, together with his priests, which is a sign of mutual unity. During this Mass, the priests renew their priestly vows and the bishop consecrates the oil of catechumens, the oil of the sick and the chrism oil. The ceremony underwent several changes over the past century. These are reflected also in the theology, expressed in the liturgy by emphasizing of certain elements. The major reforms of the liturgy of the Mass took place in several stages in the 50`s, 60`s and 70`s of the 20th century. First, the thesis follows the basics and reasons for the use of oils in the liturgy of the Catholic Church in the context of Easter and then the historical development of the Mass, in which the oils are consecrated. Also it clearly compares the progress of the Missa chrismatis liturgy and captures differences in the liturgical texts and texts of the rite of benediction of oils in the various phases of the reform of the twentieth century. On this basis, it attempts to render the evolution in theological content. Keywords Missa Chrismatis, Benediction of Holy Oils, Chrism, The Holy Week, Maundy Thursday, Liturgical Reform.

Huvudsyftet med denna studie är att ta reda på hur anställda inom socialtjänsten i tre kommuner upplever förkortad arbetsvecka i förhållande till arbetssituation, fritid och hälsa. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med sju socialsekreterare från tre olika kommuner har vi undersökt hur dessa beskriver sin upplevelse av att arbeta 35 timmar i veckan, vilken inverkan 35 timmars arbetsvecka har på deras arbetssituation samt hur förkortad arbetsvecka påverkar de anställdas fritid och hälsa. Genom Braun och Clarkes (2006) tematiska analys har vi fått ett resultat som visar på fem betydelsefulla teman av det våra informanter berättar samt ett sjätte som beskriver  de olika anledningarna kommunerna har haft till att införa förkortad arbetsvecka. Resultatet har överlag visat att 35 timmars arbetsvecka har gett positiva effekter i såväl arbete, hälsa och fritid genom ett mer strukturerat och fokuserat arbetssätt, minskad stress och mer tid till återhämtning och umgänge med familj och vänner. Utifrån vårt teoretiska ramverk har vi tolkat vårt resultat som att våra informanter, i och med den förkortade arbetsveckan, har mött förändrade krav, fått ökad kontroll samt att det sociala stödet har förbättrats. Vi hoppas att denna studie ska bidra till utvecklingen av socialarbetares arbetssituation.  The main purpose of this study is to find out how social workers in the Swedish social services in three different municipalities experience working 35 hours per week instead of 40. The aspects of their experience that we will consider will be work situation, leisure and health. Through qualitative interviews with seven social workers, placed in three different municipalities, we have asked what their experience of working 35 hours per week is: how it affects their working situation and what impact it has had on their leisure and health. Our applied method for this study is the thematic analysis described by Braun and Clarke (2006). This resulted in five main themes connecting our informants answers to our main questions and one additional theme, describing the reasons to why the different municipalities have initiated the 35 hour working week. Our overall result suggests that 35 working hours per week has given positive effects which are described as a result of a more structured way of working and higher efficiency. Our informants also speak of lower stress, more time for recovery and more time spent with family and friends. We hope that this study can contribute to the development of social workers working situation.

Journalists have insisted that John Oliver has inspired a new kind of journalism. They argue that Oliver's show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver has inspired real-world action, a phenomenon journalists have called the "John Oliver Effect." Oliver, a comedian, refuses these claims. This thesis is the result of in-depth research into journalists' claims through the lens of agenda-setting. By conducting a qualitative content analysis, I evaluated the message characteristics of framing devices used on Oliver's show, then compared those message characteristics to the message characteristics and framing devices employed by legacy media.
