Syfte: Att skapa förståelse för hur människor inom HR-avdelningar upplever de olika rollerna som arbetet kräver. Vi ämnar skapa en större medvetenhet för den utsatta position som HR-arbetare befinner sig i, för att belysa och möjliggöra förebyggande åtgärder. En ökad förståelse för rollproblematiken hos HR-arbetare kan även underlätta orienteringen och förhållningen till de roller som individer och avdelningar själva intar samt de roller som de påtvingas. Resultaten ämnar även mynna ut i ett underlag för reflektion om HR-arbetares egen nutida samt framtida roll i organisationen och hur de kan nå en önskvärd position där fler intressenter blir nöjda.Metod: Studien baseras på en fallstudie i ett stort företag som ingår i en internationell koncern. Arbetet har utförts med hjälp av en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi, som fokuserar på intervjuer, samt en deduktiv ansats.Resultat: Studien påvisar brister i befintlig teori gällande HR-arbetares utsatta position.

The capricious roman goddess Fortune is known for her strong power to influence or even decide the destiny of humans. In ancient Rome she was considered to be a good goddess, who brought the gifts of destiny and who also was seen as a possible ally. During the Middle Ages this position changed. Fortune was given two sides, a good and friendly one and a cruel impenetrable side. She was seen as one of God´s ministers and became an expression of divine providence.My purpose with this essay is to analyse three artworks of Fortune by Giovanni Bellini, Albrecht Dürer and Master MZ, but also some texts by the renaissance humanist Niccolò Machiavelli.

Denna studie visar att vokalisten tycks befinna sig i en mångsidig och inte helt okompliceradposition i ensemble. En position som präglas av såväl musikaliska som sceniskaförväntningar, men även av en stark och ofrånkomlig koppling till kroppen.Vokalistpositionen kan också förstås som en underordnad position i förhållande till övrigainstrumentalisters positioner inom ensemble. Dels utifrån den traditionellt västerländskasynen på uppdelningen mellan kropp och sinne, natur och teknik. Samt dels utifrån förståelsenav sång som ett feminint kodat instrument och hierarkin manligt och kvinnligt.Syftet med studien är att undersöka fem vokalisters upplevelser av förväntningar i sambandmed ensemblespel, samt deras förhållningssätt till dessa. Uppsatsen bygger på fem vokalistersskrivna berättelser kring deras erfarenheter och upplevelser av att vara vokalist i ensembleinom populärmusik.

As revenues from newspaper advertising plummet and their readers loyalty erode, the need to understand newspapers' changing environment and the actors involved in this change is growing in importance. Evidence is the entire industry is entering into a restructuring phase and that this restructuring is driven by the rapid consumer adaption of internet media.In this thesis I elaborate on "how the Internet is affecting the conditions for value creation in printed newspapers" and "how the Internet is affecting the conditions for other actors involved in the printed newspaper's value creation". These two questions land us in the bigger question of "Does the Internet act as a compliment or a substitute to the printed newspaper ".To answer these questions the printed newspaper is represented as the actor in the middle of content producers, advertisers and consumers. It is in its role as a means of distribution and as a co-ordinating force that we study the value creation of the printed newspaper. The empirical base of this thesis is a qualitative participant observation where the author during a period of time interacted and collected data from the open discussion in blogs by several of the industry's top influentials combined with material from seminars and reports on the current state of media.

The purpose of this essay is to look upon the gender structure in Sweden, during the late Middle Ages. Mainly I focus on how the church viewed men and women, since the material of my research, the miracle stories of three saints, was found credible and was written down by churchmen. The saints, whose miracles I have studied, are Birgitta Birgersdotter and Katarina Ulfsdotter of Vadstena and Niklas Hermansson of Linköping. These miracles have earlier been studied by the historian Anders Fröjmark, who has noticed that there are fewer heeled women than men figuring in the miracles. Because of this, Fröjmark draws the conclusion that women were less able to leave their homes and travel as pilgrims to the holy sites of the saints.

This essay concerns the osteological cremated skeletal remains from Broe, Halla parish, Gotland of  The Late Iron Age.The focus of this essay is to determine the position of the corpse on the pyre, whether the cremated bones were crushed after or prior to the cremation and if the individual was buried in the pyre. In addition the species, age, sex and skeletal abnormalities of the bones in question will be studied.The result of the research has yielded that the cremated bones did not need to be crushed to result in the small fragment sizes. Crushing of the bones may have happened during the cremation, this conclusion has been drawn through the comparison of a pyre experiment were bone fragmentation is evident with cremated foxes, and dogs in the cremation graves from Broe. The construction of the pyre and the position of the corpse could not be determined through colouring and fragmentation of the bones.The human's were commonly buried in the pyre, and in some cases it is possible that the "grave" in fact is the remainder of a pyre. The species found are dog, horse, cow, sheep/goat and bear.

This paper is about Soren Aabye Kierkegaards (1813-1855) philosophy regarding the relation between the aesthetic and the ethic stage. The result of the essay is a modification of the aesthetic problem. The suggestion is to convert part of Kierkegaard?s metaphysical claims into an epistemic approach. An epistemic approach means to hold a position of well grounded stipulative beliefs.

The purpose of this essay is to examine and compare narrations by five witnesses, who has written about atrocities against Christians from 1915 to 1919 in what is today south-eastern Turkey, but what was then the Ottoman Empire. I have focused on how the roles of perpetrators, victims, spectators and protectors are featured in the witness narrations. Four questions were posed in the study: Who are portrayed as perpetrators, victims, bystanders and protectors in the various witness narrations? How are these roles expressed in the witness narrations? What differences can be found among the five selected witness narrations from Mardin and Urfa, 1915-1919? What are the explanations of the differences in the witness narrations? The method I have used has been an analysis in which I compare how the different narrations capture the events of 1915-1919. I have used three factors to look at the explanations why there may be differences in the witness narrations.

Vi har valt att göra vår C-uppsats i relation till en begränsad verksamhet; en fritidsverksamhet i Västra Götalandsregionen. Vårt syfte med studien är att undersöka hur pedagogerna gör kön i interaktion med barnen, i de observerade situationerna. Våra frågeställningar är ?Vilka samband kan vi se i observationerna mellan pedagogernas interagerande med barnen och barnens positionering och kön?? och ?Hur svarar barnen på pedagogernas interagerande i förhållande till barnets kön och intagen position??. Vi har använt oss av videoobservationer som metod och filmat samlingar och mellanmål, då vi var intresserade av att studera pedagogernas interagerande med barnen utifrån barnens intagna positioner och kön.

Purpose of this study is to describe and analyze school social work in rural area and being alone in social work at the school welfare/health team and how this affects the individual, professionally and privately.The theoretical framework highlights the empirical data through Goffman's dramaturgical perspective. The study highlights school social workers role on the scene as Goffman divided as the front and rear arena and how school social worker find strategies to cope with it alone work it takes to be a counselor in rural areas.One way to handle her role involves acting in one of the following three characters: the self-employed, infiltrator and tough guy.The study describes how the social worker harboring the stress in the profession; through recovery - physical and mental, on the back stage, backstage.On stage there are other players such as student health team, which also acts and affect what happens on the front stage.School social workers are working hard to position itself in relation to other professions in student welfare/health team and to have a mandate to act.In the analysis, it appears that the school social workers want a clearer role profession/ occupation profession and mandate to act, which may be complicated by today is the only counselor in student welfare/health team lacking identity. There is also a desire for further/ continuing education, but this is seen as an organizational pitfall when the manager does not have the same educational background as school social worker.Ultimately, it is the peripatetic life as a social worker at the school who is considered the most exhausting part of the work as a school social worker in a rural area. There is a great desire among the interviewed school social workers to have fewer schools to relate to and work on..
