The basis of the empirical research has been undertaken by a qualitative design with interviews consisting of three fundamental themes. The research group of eight participants included four gamblers, two therapists and two specialists.

Syftet med den här studien är att genom kvalitativa intervjuer öka förståelsen för sociala faktorer som föreligger när man lämnar en religiös församling. Vårt främsta fokus har varit att se vad känslan av tillhörighet har för betydelse i en utgångsprocess. Men vi berör även andra sociala faktorer som spelar in när tvivel uppstår hos medlemmen och som sedan resulterat i att hon velat lämna församlingen. Vi har intervjuat personer som har varit medlemmar i Jehovas Vittnen och Livets Ord. I syfte att öka förståelsen för den problematik som en utgångsprocess kan innebära har vi i vår analys använt oss av Vanessa Mays (2013) teori om tillhörighet, Eric Fromms (1994) teori om flykt och Scheffs (1994) begreppspar Skam-stolthet. Med en deltagande observation och 8 halvstrukturerade intervjuer har vi närmat oss ett känsligt ämne och studerat sociala faktorer som påverkar att man vill lämna en religiös församling. Resultatet visar bland annat att tillhörighet och organisatoriska faktorer av social karaktär har stor betydelse i en utgångsprocess.

I den här uppsatsen har jag försökt att konstruera ett mätinstrument för att mäta skam utifrån Thomas Scheffs forskning. De 14 påståenden som ingår i mätinstrumentet är baserade på Suzanne Retzingers forskning om kroppsliga markörer för skam och de resulterande utmanande beteendena. Flera forskare har lyft fram vikten av att någon tar fram ett mätinstrument för att kvantitativt mäta skam och syftet med min uppsats är att försöka att ta reda på om det är möjligt att göra det eller ej.180 Studenter vid Karlstads universitet fick besvara ett frågeformulär, som totalt besvarades av 176 studenter, 124 kvinnor och 52 män. Data analyserades med den polytoma raschmodellen i datorprogrammet RUMM 2030.Resultatet visar att mätinstrumentet inte enbart mäter skam (flerdimensionalitet), eller i bästa fall åtminstone flera olika typer av skam, och att påståenden i mätinstrumentet inte fungerar likadant för alla respondenter (DIF-effekter) samt att mätinstrumentet som helhet hade dålig passform gentemot raschmodellen. Min slutsats är att det är möjligt att konstruera mätinstrument för att mäta skam utifrån Scheffs teoretiska ramverk men att det kräver mer arbete och fler revideringar än vad som har varit möjligt möjligt att genomföra inom ramen för detta uppsatsarbete..

AbstractThe aim of this essay is to understand the view of man as a creature in the Norse culture by studying rituals and ritual actions in conjunction with homicide. The material on which the study is based is called the Icelandic sagas, which are important source of information to the Norse culture. To achieve the purpose, I used a qualitative content analysis and qualitative narrative analysis along with ritual theories based on Roy A Rappaport among others. The questions are for instance:- What ritual actions occur in connection with the homicide, according to the Icelandic sagas? - What are the differences in how individuals are treated in passages where the ritual actions in relation to homicide and homicide cases investigated and why?The results show four different types of ritual acts in relation to homicide.

This essay concerns on how my novel The Teacher was influenced by the Masters course I completed in Creative Writing at Linnaeus University (2012 ? 2014). Basically, The Teacher is about a love affair between a teacher and a student. With an intertextual, comparative and structurally inspired method I examine the process of writing my text.

Working life is an arena that often reflects attitudes that already exist in our society. When alcohol- and drug abuse is detected among employees the employer has a statutory responsibility for rehabilitation. But the way how these employees gets to be treated is also influenced by attitudes. The purpose of this essay was to illustrate from a gender perspective how women's and men's alcohol- and drug abuse occur in working life and how the attitudes in our society towards their abuse reflect on trade life. Referring that, our intention was also to examine which consequences are given of how the individual is treated.
