Full textBalaam, the central figure of Num 22—24, can be found in a wide variety of Old and New Testament texts ranging from the Pentateuch to the Prophets, the Writings, the Epistles and Revelation. He is also present in archaeological evidence, such as the findings at Deir Alla. His multifaceted personality gave rise to numerous interpretations: soothsayer, prophet of the Messiah, pagan ancestor of the Magi. This thesis surveys the reception of the Balaam figure in the Hebrew Bible, Hellenistic Judaism, the writings of Qumran, the Targums, rabbinic and Samaritan literature, the New Testament and Christian commentaries from the first five centuries. Each translator and author adapts the Balaam figure to meet the needs of his readers, in order to answer such questions as the relationship between Israel and the nations. Balaam is one of the instances of debate on the relationship of Judaism to other religions and the universality of salvation

Full textThe Balaam narratives of Numbers 22-24 have long proven to be a source of fascination for readers of the Old Testament. The narratives present Balaam as a faithful ‘word-of-Yahweh’ prophet. However, the Tale of the Donkey (22:22-35) portrays him as an ‘unseeing’ prophet intent on personal gain. How does one explain the conflicting views of Balaam within the narratives of Numbers 22-24? Socio-rhetorical criticism was employed as a methodology to examine the development of these conflicting views of Balaam. An analysis of the Inner Texture revealed that the repeated themes 'seeing’, ‘blessing’, and ‘cursing’ are central to the narratives, and serve to connect Balaam with the paradigmatic prophet Moses of Exodus 3 and Deuteronomy 18. The study of the narratives’ Intertexture revealed numerous inner-biblical allusions, and considered the possible relevance of the Deir ‘Alla texts to the narratives. The Social-cultural and Ideological textures of the narratives suggest that a process of prophetic redefinition took place during either the late pre-exilic or exilic periods, which resulted in the exclusion of divination from Israel’s prophetic tradition. Prophets entered into an alliance with the priests in order to centralise religious authority and place the focus of ‘prophecy’ on the exposition and application of Torah. A consideration of the theological texture of the narratives suggested that this process of prophetic redefinition continued into the early post-exilic period, and ultimately led to a re-evaluation of Balaam. Wide-spread xenophobia within early Yehud contributed to Balaam’s final demise, as later reception history within the Old Testament portrays Balaam as responsible for inciting Israel’s apostasy in Numbers 25. The Tale of the Donkey is integrated into the narratives of Numbers 22-24 by priestly writers in order to distance Balaam from Israel’s prophetic tradition. The result is a dynamic theological synthesis that recalls both an earlier period in which divination was accepted as part of Israel’s prophetic tradition, and a new perspective focused on the exposition and application of Torah. The Balaam narratives of Numbers 22-24 serve as the theological ‘hinge’ or ‘fulcrum’ of the book of Numbers, recalling both the old generation of rebellion, and the new generation of hope that will re-enter the land of promise. The Balaam narratives of Numbers 22-24 serve to powerfully proclaim that Yahweh’s purpose to bless his people will not be thwarted by the intrigues of Israel’s enemies, or Israel’s past disobedience.

The present research aims to assess exegetically the text found in the Bible, notably in the Book of Numbers chapters 22-24 which describes a character known as Balaam. The research also aims to study the Pantheon of Divinities reported in the same text, as well as the texts discovered in Deir Alla, in Jordan, which also mention a character called Balaam, probably the same character appearing in the Book of Numbers 22-24. The development of this research has been motivated by the finding of concepts related to different divine names in the text and by the existing prophetism outside Israel. Moreover, the view of hermeneutic possibilities opening from the reading of that biblical text was important to the decision making. Until then, according to the general concept, Israel was the only country where the “true” prophets existed and where the veneration for a single God prevailed (monotheism). So, it has been interesting to realize, mainly through the reading of biblic books, that the prophetism was not restricted to Israel. The prophetism precedes the formation of ancient Israel and it already existed in the Middle East lands. Furthermore, the ancient Israel, when formed, took much time to become monotheist. After all, who is Balaam, son of Beor? We will study his personal characteristics and his mission. We will analyse Deir Alla texts about Balaam and his mediator character nature that stays between the divine and the human. He was presented as a great prophet, famous in the role of divine presages interpreter. We will also analyse the important issue related to Pantheon of Gods appearing in Balaan’s narrative, such as El, Elyon Elohim and Shaddai, beyond Yahweh. At first, we understand that the text got a connection with the society in which it was written. Using the exegetical methodology, we will proceed with the text analysis, trying to understand its contents in depth, but always considering its historical and social setting. It’s worth remembering here that the scenario was presented by a prophet who is not Israeli, but is the one that says gods’ blessings over Israel and also pronounces curses for Israel’s enemies. We realize that part of the text under study is presented from the perspective of Israel in relation to the other countries. Therefore, the research confirms that the chapters 22-24 of the Book of Numbers, besides showing us a non-Israeli prophet equal to the Bible’s prophets, it also evidences that the Pantheon of Divinities was worshiped by Israel. Moreover, their names were, in fact, epithets of the same divinity, in this case YHWH. The research still advocates the existence of a project of political and military domination of Israel over the surrounding nations.
A presente pesquisa busca avaliar exegeticamente o texto que se encontra na Bíblia, especificamente no livro de Números capítulos 22-24 que relata sobre um personagem conhecido como Balaão. A pesquisa tem também como objeto o estudo sobre o panteão de divindades relatado no mesmo texto, assim como também o estudo dos textos descobertos em Deir Alla, na Jordânia, que apresentam um personagem designado como Balaão, possivelmente o mesmo personagem de Nm 22-24. A motivação que levou ao desenvolvimento dessa pesquisa foi o fato de se ter deparado com os conceitos dos diversos nomes divinos exibidos no texto, além da questão do profetismo fora de Israel, assim como as possibilidades hermenêuticas que se abrem para a leitura desse texto bíblico. O conceito geral sempre foi o de que Israel era a única nação onde existiam “verdadeiros” profetas e uma adoração a um único Deus, o “monoteísmo”. O que despertou interesse foi perceber, especialmente por meio da leitura dos livros bíblicos, que o profetismo não se restringiu somente a Israel. Ele antecede à formação do antigo Israel e já existia no âmbito das terras do antigo Oriente Médio, e que Israel ainda demorou muito tempo para ser monoteísta. Quem é esse Balaão, filho de Beor? Estudaremos sobre sua pessoa e sua missão. Examinaremos os textos de Deir Alla sobre Balaão e sua natureza de personagem mediador entre o divino e o humano. Esse personagem é apresentado como um grande profeta e que era famoso como intérprete de presságios divinos. Analisaremos a importante questão sobre o panteão de deuses que são apresentados na narrativa de Balaão nomeados como: El, Elyon Elohim e Shaddai, além de Yahweh. Entendemos, a princípio, que o texto possui uma conexão com a sociedade na qual foi criado e usando da metodologia exegética, faremos uma análise da narrativa em questão, buscando compreender o sentido do texto, dentro de seu cenário histórico e social. Cenário este, que nos apresentou esse profeta, não israelita, que profere bênçãos dos deuses sobre Israel e que, além disso, pronuncia maldições sobre os inimigos desse mesmo Israel. Percebemos que, parte do texto pesquisado é apresentado sob a ótica de Israel sobre as outras nações. A pesquisa defende, portanto, que o texto de Nm 22-24, além de nos apresentar um profeta fora de Israel igual aos profetas da Bíblia, defende que, o panteão de divindades também era adorado por Israel e que tais nomes são epítetos de uma mesma divindade, no caso YHWH. Defende, também, um delineamento de um projeto de domínio político e militar de Israel sobre as nações circunvizinhas.
Murcia, Thierry. "Jésus dans la littérature talmudique." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012AIXM3076.
Full textThis study presents a survey and a systematic analysis of the passages of Talmudic literature (Mishna – Tosefta – Palestinian Talmud – Babylonian Talmud – Midrashim), relative to Jesus or are supposed to be. The documents are examined, criticized and confronted to other sources of Jewish or Christian origin (Hellenistic Jewish literature, Jewish Apocrypha, rabbinic sources, Targumim, Toledot Yeshu – New Testament, Apostolic Fathers, Church Fathers). The investigation tries to answer to several questions: - What did the rabbis exactly know about Jesus? - Has their information any historical value? - Has their perception undergone some evolution? - Did the rabbis of the Talmud have access to the Gospels as a written source? The conclusion of this thesis is that all these documents are rooted in their Sitz im leben. They obviously attest – contra Peter Schäfer (Jesus in the Talmud, 2007) – that the rabbis had no direct acquaintance with the Gospels as written documents. This study also shows, concerning the Babylonian Talmud, that all the passages relative to Jesus belong to the last editorial layer of this corpus (VIIe-VIIIe century)

Full textThis study focuses on work related factors which have an effect on the balance between peoples work and private/social life. Commonly discussed in the daily debate is the so called “livspusslet”, the time puzzle. The question is: How do you balance the demands from work, family and society? A lot of peoples health and family relations suffers from a stressful situation at work.
It’s not hard to figure out that the possible factors which could have an effect on the balance between peoples work and private/social life are many. So, therefore we have limited the research to a number of variables of interest. These variables are then summed up to three key areas for the survey the focus on. These key areas are chosen out of, and based on our previous knowledge and the literature we recently have read about this phenomenon. The key areas are : terms of employment, working environment and flexibility & independence at work.
We have also created an index, a sum of a number of balance measuring variables, which made it easier for us to see the effects from the key areas on peoples balance between work and private/social life. The literature we have read also tells us about differences between gender, class and career focus. We found that interesting and wanted to find some answers.
The result of this study and our conclusions are that a stressful work, a physically tough work, the relationship with your work colleges and if you are scared of losing your job, have most effect on the balance between peoples work and private/social life. The study found differences between gender, class and interest in making a career.
Denna undersökning fokuserar på de arbetsrelaterade faktorer som påverkar balansen mellan arbetsliv och privatliv. Det råder idag en omfattande samhällelig och medial debatt om det så kallade livspusslet. Hur ska individen hinna med alla krav som ställs av arbete, familj och samhälle? En allt för kravfylld livssituation kan leda till ohälsa och försämrade familjeförhållanden.
Undersökningens syfte är att ta reda på vilka arbetsrelaterade variabler som orsakar obalans mellan arbetsliv och privatliv. Ett index som mäter något som vi kallar livsbalans, konstruerades för att få ett mått på förhållandet mellan arbetsliv och privatliv. De arbetsrelaterade variablerna delades in i tre områden med varsin tillhörande frågeställning. Områdena är: anställningstrygghet, arbetsmiljö och flexibilitet & självständighet.
Studien reder också ut skillnader i livsbalans mellan män och kvinnor, personer med olika klasstillhörighet, eller personer med eller utan fokus på att göra karriär.
Det som påverkar människors livsbalans mest är om de har ett stressigt arbete, om de är oroliga för att förlora arbetet, om de har ett fysiskt ansträngande arbete eller vilken typ av relation de har med sina arbetskamrater. Självständigt arbete har likaså en effekt på balansindex även om denna effekt är tudelad enligt undersökningens analys. Vi har även funnit skillnader i kategorierna kön, klass och inställning till karriär. Medan mäns livsbalans endast påverkas av stressigt arbete och oro att förlora arbetet påverkas även kvinnors livsbalans av arbetstid, relationer med arbetskamrater samt graden av självständighet i arbetet.

Full textFor a fast-fashion clothing company, a fast product development process is essential. These companies often hire suppliers to handle the patternmaking in combination with the production of the merchandise and the main challenge that these type of collaborations faces is the time-sensitivity. The patternmaking and the fit of the garments are often the ones to suffer, which in turn makes the development process of new products inefficient and a more costly process than necessary, both for the clothing company and the supplier but also for the environment. A specific model that has recurring problems with fit is a ladies top with a deep v-shaped neckline in front or in back of the garment. The fit problems are mainly located around the armhole and the sleeve, but it is also shown on the overall balance of the garment. The purpose of this study is to investigate what happens with the balance of the garment when constructing a deep v-shaped neckline. Information about fit problems and balance of the arm and armhole in combination with necklines is lacking in literature and research, which indicates a need that extends beyond the company’s need. The method used in the study is experimental and consists of digital patternmaking, sewing of prototypes and fitting-sessions on real people. The result points to the need to use carefully developed block patterns and the conclusions states how the most important parameters for this specific model should be constructed.

Full textUnder vårterminen 2012 har sex studenter på Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan i Stockholm bedrivit ett grupprojekt inom området mekatronik som en del av examensarbetet för kandidatexamen. Resultatet blev en robot med aktiv balansering och syftet med denna rapport är att beskriva utveckling, tillverkning och problem som uppstod under projektets gång. Den färdiga roboten har två hjul som är monterade i linje med varandra, likt en cykel. Mätdata från en accelerometer och ett gyro används tillsammans i ett komplementärfilter för att bestämma vinkeln från robotens jämviktsläge. För att balansera användes en PID-regulator som styr rotationen av ett svänghjul som vid acceleration ger upphov till ett upprätande moment. Operatören styr roboten genom att välja olika kommandon via en pekskärm på en fjärrkontroll som skickar kommandon trådlöst via Bluetooth. Roboten uppnådde önskad balansering och påvisar god stabilitet vid drift.

Full textSyfte
Tidigare forskning har visat att Tai Chi träning förbättrar balansen hos äldre. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om barns balans påverkades av träning som utfördes i ett långsamt tempo liknande Tai Chi träning.
Studien syftade också till att utreda om det förelåg någon skillnad i balans mellan pojkar och flickor och om något av könen tog till sig träningen bättre. Studien syftade även till att undersöka hur balansen påverkades då barnen utförde olika kognitiva uppgifter.
Metod
Studien fullföljdes av 41 barn i åldern 9-10 år. En interventionsgrupp, 19 barn tränade Tai Chi liknande rörelser dagligen under åtta veckor och denna jämfördes med en kontrollgrupp, 22 barn som inte fick denna träning.
Balansövningar utfördes på en kraftplatta samt på en metallprofil. Från övningarna på kraftplattan mättes standardavvikelse och amplitud av tryckcentrums mediolaterala och anterioposteriora förflyttning. Från övningarna på metallprofilen mättes antalet nedtramp.
Resultat
Många parametrar mättes men endast en uppvisade en signifikant träningseffekt. Pojkarna minskade standardavvikelsen på tryckcentrums mediolaterala förflyttning vid stående med öppna ögon.
Studien uppmätte vissa skillnader i balans mellan pojkar och flickor.
Mätningar av tryckcentrums förflyttning då barnen utförde olika uppgifter uppmätte en signifikant skillnad vid stående med öppna ögon jämfört med stående då ögonen var stängda (med eller utan utförande av en samtida kognitiv uppgift).
Övningarna på metallskenan förbättrades lika mycket i tränings- som kontrollgrupp.
Slutsats
Studien ger indikationer att träningsformen i viss utsträckning var effektiv då daglig träning under åtta veckor gav signifikant förbättring i en av de testade parametrarna.
Dessa fynd är i linje med de fåtal studier som finns på träning av balans hos barn.
Aim.
Previous studies have shown that Tai Chi exercises improve postural control in elderly people. The primary aim of this study was to investigate if similar Thai Chi like training affects postural control in children. Secondary aims of the study was 1) to investigate if any such effects from training differs between boys and girls and 2) to investigate whether performing a cognitive task during balance testing had any effect on postural control in these children.
Method.
In the balance tests, different tasks were performed on a force plate and on a metal profile. From the tasks performed on the force plate, the standard deviations and amplitudes of the mediolateral and anterioposterior displacements of center of pressure were measured. From the tasks performed on the metal profile, the number of clampdowns were counted.
The study was conducted over an eight week period with 41 children in the ages 9-10 years old. The children were divided into two groups; children in the training group (n=19) who participated in Tai Chi like training every day, and children in the control group (n=22) who did not participate in this training.
Results.
The study also showed some differences in postural control between boys and girls.
When comparing the displacement in center of pressure between different two-legged tasks performed on the force plate, significantly less displacement was found in the task involving standing with open eyes compared to all tasks involving standing with closed eyes (with or without a concurrent cognitive task).
The number of clampdowns from the metal profile were reduced after the training period, to a similar extent in the control and the training groups.
Several different aspects of the postural control were measured in the study. Only one of these improved significantly with training. Boys in the intervention group showed a decrease in the standard deviation of the mediolateral displacement of the center of pressure when standing with open eyes.
Conclusion.
These results are also consistent with similar studies on postural control among children.
This study indicates that slow motion training, similar to Tai Chi, has a small but positive effect on postural control, for boys 9-10 year old, when conducted every day over an eight week period, as one of the tested parameters shows an improvement.

Full textBakgrund och problem: Förr var Tvångsmakt och hot en vanlig metod att driva in skatt, idag är detta tillvägagångssätt helt förändrat. Det handlar numera om att bygga upp en ömsesidig relation och att med hjälp av lagar och kontroller styra medborgare och företagare till att betala den skatt de är skyldiga till. Trots att sättet att driva in skatt har förändrats genom tiden så är det fortfarande ingen populär uppgift att ta på sig. Men trots det så har Skatteverket utsetts till en av de myndigheterna med det allra största förtroendet enligt svenska folket (TNS SIFO, 2011). Med dessa bakgrundsfaktorer leder det oss fram till uppsatsens problemformulering: Hur balanserar en skattemyndighet maktutövning och relationsbyggande?Syfte: Syftet med denna undersökning är att genom en fallstudie undersöka hur Skatteverket balanserar maktutövande och relationsbyggande gentemot frisörer och restauranger. Undersökningen syftar även på att undersöka hur restaurang- och frisörföretag ser på Skatteverket. Det som uppsatsen syftar till är då att undersöka vilka faktorer som bidrar till Skatteverkets förtroende?Metod: Genom att ha samlat in data från intervjusubjekten Skatteverket samt restaurang- och frisörföretag så gav detta uppsatsen tankar och reflektioner kring hur företagare ser på Skatteverket samt en inblick i hur Skatteverket själva diskuterar kring sina metoder för att erhålla sin popularitet.Slutsats: Företag som inte har genomgått åtgärder från en skattemyndighets sida visar på ett större förtroende (Meyerson m.fl., 1996). Detta visade sig utifrån ett fall ur uppsatsens empiri, där en utav de intervjuade restaurangföretagen hade fått genomgå en revision och hade på grund av detta en betydligt mycket negativare syn på Skatteverket och ett minskat förtroende jämfört med sin tidigare syn. Utifrån flera utav uppsatsens empiriska fall så framgick det att Skatteverkets kontrollanter vid kontrollbesök visade på förståelse vilket ledde till att de kunde känna ett större förtroende för Skatteverket. Det är då som Egidius (2000) menar på att om man visar förståelse leder till att de kontrollerade företagen känner sig bättre bemötta och får då ett större förtroende. De största bidragande faktorerna till att Skatteverket lyckats bygga upp detta stora förtroende enligt intervjuade från vår empiri är att de flesta känner att Skatteverket finns där för att hjälpa dem, de hjälper till att motverka den osunda konkurrensen.

Drug use is not a recent human behaviour. Since early history, there are indicators of substance use allied to therapeutic ends, recreational, spiritual and even feeding purposes, as in alcoholic drinks, for instance. An issue that lies in this route is: How drug use affects teenagers today? Which aspects ? subjective, historical and socio-economic ? are implied in the current adolescent drug use (specifically, in the present study, alcohol use)? Basic conjecture in this research is that alcohol is related to glamour in present society and this can be found in adolescent speech. In order to deepen this matter investigation, we bring as our main objective to verify if abusive alcohol use is related to glamour in present society under adolescent point of view. Our specific objectives were: i) Investigate what adolescents tell concerning abusive alcohol use during adolescence, pervading personal and contextual issues; ii) Verify how canonical speech found in media on alcohol use (specially on popular music and on TV ads) presentifies itself in adolescent speech. To do so, a qualitative, descriptive research was carried on, having as instrument a semi-structured interview done with two teenagers ? a male and a female. Both respondents were aged eighteen and attended their last year at high school in a small town in Rio de Janeiro State. Interviews were recorded in video, integrally transcribed, and speeches were analyzed. Found data were sorted into two categories: adolescent speech on abusive alcohol use ? in which the way adolescents describe relation between adolescence and alcohol was approached ?; and canonic influence over adolescent speech ? in which there was an attempt to approach the matter of socio-cultural influence over adolescent identity constitution. Found results confirmed initial conjecture: alcohol glamorization speech, conveyed by media, overestimation of exaggerate alcohol consumption and consequent status promoted by this behavior are present in adolescent speech. However, adolescents do not assume this speech as originated from media or cultural influence, and relate it solely to peer pressure, spotting friends and older young people influence. We came to the conclusion that speech displayed on media and hegemonic culture exercises their symbolic power over in such way that its influence is not always noticed on people?s everyday discourse and behaviour. It is suggested, thus, utterly necessary the promotion of more space to dialogue and idea exchange on the theme (since it is on speech that ruptures take place and criticism is developed), once alcohol abuse overvaluation is understood as incentive to risky behaviour, not only concerning adolescents, but also taking into consideration a global public health matter. In this instance, it is peremptory multiple social spheres mobilization towards more incisive regulation of media and its multiple agents.
O uso de drogas n?o ? um comportamento recente do ser humano. Desde o in?cio de sua hist?ria, h? ind?cios de utiliza??o de subst?ncias encontradas na natureza para fins terap?uticos, recreativos, espirituais e at? aliment?cios, como no caso das bebidas alco?licas. Uma quest?o que se configura nesse percurso ?: Como o tema repercute no adolescente na atualidade? Que aspectos subjetivos, assim como socioculturais, hist?ricos e pol?tico-econ?micos, est?o envolvidos no uso que os jovens fazem atualmente das drogas (especificamente, neste estudo, do ?lcool)? A conjectura b?sica desta pesquisa ? que o ?lcool relaciona-se ao glamour na sociedade atual e isso pode ser encontrado na narrativa do adolescente. Para aprofundar o estudo dessa quest?o, este trabalho traz como objetivo geral verificar se o uso abusivo do ?lcool relaciona-se ao glamour na sociedade atual sob o ponto de vista do adolescente. Os objetivos espec?ficos s?o: i) Investigar o que o adolescente narra a respeito do uso abusivo do ?lcool na adolesc?ncia, perpassando quest?es pessoais e contextuais, ii)Verificar como o discurso can?nico encontrado na m?dia a respeito do uso de ?lcool (principalmente propagandas televisivas e m?sica popular) se presentifica na narrativa do adolescente. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva, qualitativa, utilizando uma entrevista semi-estruturada dirigida a dois adolescentes, de ambos os sexos. Os sujeitos escolhidos tinham como caracter?stica comum ter dezoito anos completos e cursar o terceiro ano do ensino m?dio em uma cidade do interior do RJ. As entrevistas foram gravadas em v?deo, transcritas integralmente, e foi realizada uma an?lise narrativa desse texto. Os dados encontrados foram divididos em duas categorias: narrativas adolescentes a respeito do uso abusivo do ?lcool ? na qual foi abordada a maneira que os adolescentes descrevem a rela??o entre adolesc?ncia e ?lcool ?, e influ?ncia can?nica na narrativa adolescente ? na qual buscou-se abordar a quest?o da influ?ncia do contexto s?cio cultural na constitui??o identit?ria do adolescente. Os resultados encontrados apontaram para a confirma??o da conjectura inicial: o discurso da glamouriza??o do abuso de ?lcool, dispon?vel nas m?dias, da hipervaloriza??o do exagero no consumo e do status promovido por esse comportamento ? presentificado na narrativa dos adolescentes. Entretanto, os mesmos n?o reconhecem a influ?ncia desse discurso como sendo de origem midi?tica ou cultural e a relacionam a um comportamento exclusivo dos grupos de pares, endere?ando a influ?ncia ? amigos e adolescentes mais velhos. Conclu?mos que os discursos dispostos nas m?dias e na cultura hegem?nica operam seu poder simb?lico na canocidade cotidiana de forma tal que sua influ?ncia nem sempre ? percebida nas falas e comportamentos repetidos diariamente. E considera-se preciso que se promovam mais espa?os para os di?logos e narrativas sobre a tem?tica, pois ? na narrativa que as rupturas acontecem, e desenvolve-se a criticidade. Uma vez que a valoriza??o do abuso de ?lcool ? compreendida como incentivo a comportamentos de risco, n?o apenas na adolesc?ncia, mas que implica numa quest?o de sa?de p?blica global. Nesse sentido, faz-se premente a mobiliza??o das m?ltiplas esferas sociais em prol de uma regulamenta??o mais incisiva da m?dia e seus diversos ve?culos

Full textSociala medier har vuxit till en integrerad del av vår vardag och företag fokuserar hårt på att hitta nya, effektiva sätt att nå sina målmarknader. En strategi som har fått stor uppmärksamhet är influencer marketing - där fokus har skiftat från en hel publik av potentiella kunder till inflytelserika personer som har en stark inverkan på deras följare. Efter att ha granskat tidigare forskning identifierade vi ett gap i konsumentförtroende för influencer marketing ur ett företagsperspektiv. Vår studie syftar till att undersöka följares attityder till influencer marketing för att analysera hur företag kan hitta en balans mellan förtroende och inflytande när man arbetar med marknadsföring på sociala medier, samtidigt som inställningen till influencer marketing blir alltmer skeptisk. För att få ett brett och rättvist perspektiv har en triangulär forskningsmodell använts. Förutom sekundärdata från tidigare forskning har vi genomfört en enkätundersökning online om konsumentens åsikter och erfarenheter av influencer marketing, två intervjuer med nyckelpersoner på svenska modeföretag och en intervju med en forskare med fokus på konsumentreaktioner påmarknadsföring via sociala medier. Det återkommande begreppet under hela studien är förtroende, som visar sig vara avgörande för konsumenters attityder till influencer marketing. För företag ska undvika att riskera potentiella kunders förtroende, måste influencerns publik matcha företagets önskade målgrupp, varumärkena måste vara kompatibla för att meddelandet ska nå ut och slutligen måste värdeskapande relationeretableras mellan alla parter.

Full textUppsatsen syftar till att förstå unga, arbetande akademikers reflektioner kring att uppnå balans mellan fritid och arbete. Genom kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer har vi undersökt och fått större inblick i problemområdet utifrån våra sex intervjupersoner upplevelser. Resultatet av vår undersökning visar att våra intervjupersoner upplever att de har balans. Balansen uppnår de genom en klar gränsdragning mellan arbete och fritid och att använda fritiden till rekreation, återhämtning och umgänge med familj och vänner. Då våra intervjupersoner är nya på arbetsmarknaden och har lagt mycket tid och pengar på utbildning, har de som mål att utvecklas inom sitt yrke. Intervjupersonerna anser sig ha mer tid till utveckling i dagsläget då de befinner sig i en livssituation där självförverkligande får stort utrymme i både arbetet och fritiden. Våra intervjupersoner talar om självförverkligande i termer som att bli uppmärksammad av andra, att få bekräftelse och kunna göra det man själv vill. Nyckeln till förståelse för hur våra intervjupersoner upplever balans mellan arbete och fritid finns i de individuella aspekterna, aspekter som hur individen definierar fritid, de individuella drivkrafterna till arbetet och hur självförverkligandet bidrar till att individen upplever sig som Någon.

Full textSyfte och frågeställningar De specifika frågeställningarna i den teoretiska delen löd: Vad innefattas i begreppen balans och balansförmåga och hur kan dessa förmågor mätas? De specifika frågeställningarna i den empiriska delen löd: Hur är balansförmågan hos barn relaterad till ålder och kön, längd och kroppsvikt samt till graden av fysisk aktivitet? Metod Inledningsvis genomfördes en systematisk litteraturgenomgång av böcker och vetenskapliga artiklar med anknytningar till frågeställningarna. Urval av litteratur gjordes på bibliotek och via "Pubmed" där vissa specifika sökord användes. Till den empiriska delen användes data insamlade under SIH-projektet, där bland annat balanstester genomfördes på ca 1700 barn i åldrarna 10-, 13- och 16 år. Data analyserades i SPSS 11.0. Skillnader i balansförmåga mellan kön, ålderskategorier och andra relevanta variabler beräknades med chi2-test, där signifikansnivån sattes till p<0,05. Resultat Litteraturgenomgången visade att det inte råder någon egentlig konsensus kring begrepp som "balans" och "balansförmåga". Olika vetenskapliga discipliner har "sin egen" definition beroende på om begreppen skall tolkas som rent mekaniska/biomekaniska, neurofysiologiska eller mera beteendevetenskapliga. Det finns ett flertal både kliniska/funktionella och mera laboratorieanpassade mätmetoder som anses vara reliabla. Den empiriska studien visade att balansförmågan varierade hos skolbarn 10-, 13- och 16 år gamla, så att de äldre balanserade bättre än de yngre. Ingen könsskillnad i balansförmåga erhölls. Överviktiga och feta barn balanserade sämre än normalviktiga. Kroppslängd hade mindre inverkan på balansförmågan. Mycket fysiskt aktiva barn tycks ha bättre balansförmåga än mindre aktiva. Slutsats Det är svårt att finna enhetliga definitioner på flera inom balansforskningen förekommande termer och uttryck. Barns balansförmåga var relaterad till ålder, kroppsvikt och grad av fysisk aktivitet.

Full textLa part de descripció lingüística té dos objectius. D'una banda, matisar i ampliar els estudis que s'han fet sobre el consonantisme del subdialecte mallorquí; d'altra banda, presentar un estudi complet de les resolucions dels contactes consonàntics en menorquí, subdialecte que encara no ha rebut un tractament individualitzat ni prou exhaustiu, especialment pel que fa als contactes que impliquen més de dues consonants. En aquesta part de descripció lingüística, també s'hi ha incorporat una modesta caracterització de l'eivissenc, subdialecte que serveix de base de comparació idònia respecte dels subdialectes mallorquí i menorquí, ja que els processos fonològics ocasionats pels contactes consonàntics hi són molt menys freqüents.
La part d'anàlisi lingüística pretén analitzar formalment, en el marc de la teoria de l'optimitat, els processos fonològics que es desencadenen en balear quan dues o més consonants entren en contacte. Concretament, s'hi analitzen aquells processos que impliquen un canvi en la qualitat segmental (l'assimilació de lloc d'articulació, l'assimilació de mode d'articulació, el rotacisme i la dissimilació), aquells que impliquen un canvi en la quantitat segmental (l'allargament, la simplificació consonàntica, l'elisió i la inserció vocàlica), i aquells que impliquen un canvi en la qualitat i la quantitat segmentals (la fusió i la coalescència i l'escissió).
En el treball d'investigació Els contactes consonàntics en mallorquí i menorquí es va demostrar que l'aplicació i la naturalesa d'aquests processos depèn d'un conjunt de factors, dels quals es van mostrar especialment rellevants els següents: a) el subdialecte o varietat dialectal de què es tracta; b) el tipus de consonants implicades; c) el domini d'aplicació; i d) la posició sil·làbica dels sons involucrats. L'anàlisi formal proposada en el marc d'aquesta tesi pretén donar compte de la incidència d'aquests factors en la resolució d'un determinat contacte consonàntic.
La teoria de l'optimitat és encara avui un model en desenvolupament, la fesomia del qual es va perfilant a mesura que es plantegen nous problemes i noves necessitats. La riquesa i la complexitat de fenòmens que caracteritzen el balear fan d'aquest dialecte un marc empíric idoni per ratificar la capacitat explicativa del model teòric adoptat i per detectar-ne les principals limitacions.
Tenint present aquest context, en aquesta tesi es proposen els objectius següents: en primer lloc, comprovar en quina mesura la teoria de l'optimitat és capaç de donar compte de la complexitat de processos que caracteritzen les varietats balears; en segon lloc, investigar si les dades analitzades donen evidència a favor d'un determinat tractament formal enfront d'altres en els casos en què el model preveu més d'una possibilitat d'anàlisi; i, en tercer lloc, estudiar de quina manera les dades objecte d'anàlisi fan evident la necessitat de matisar i d'ampliar certs mecanismes i certes premisses del model.
Amb aquesta tesi també es vol demostrar que l'anàlisi formal proposada per donar compte del comportament del balear és extensible al comportament d'altres dialectes del català, així com a altres processos no estudiats de manera específica en el treball. Per això, partint de l'anàlisi concreta dels contactes consonàntics en balear, es fa referència a anàlisis possibles referents a altres processos i a altres varietats dialectals del català, operació que, de retruc, serveix per validar el model teòric adoptat.
This dissertation has two goals. On the one hand, to offer a linguistic description of the phonological processes promoted by consonantal contacts in Balearic Catalan based on a set of exhaustive dialectal inquiries carried out in 13 locations of this linguistic area. On the other hand, to analyze and formalize these processes within Optimality Theory.
The descriptive section of the dissertation aims at completing previous studies about Majorcan consonantism and, also, at offering a comprehensive account of the resolutions of consonantal contacts in Minorcan Catalan, a subdialect much less studied. A modest characterization of Eivissan Catalan consonantism is also incorporated in this part.
The theoretical section of the dissertation attempts to find out a formal explanation for the triggering of the different phonological processes, particularly for those which imply a change in the quality of the original consonants (i.e. place assimilation, manner assimilation, rhotacism, and manner dissimilation), a change in the quantity of the original consonants (i.e. lengthening, consonant simplification, deletion and vocalic insertion), and for those which mean a change in the quality and the quantity of the original consonants (fusion, coalescence and split).

Esta pesquisa busca compreender as sociabilidades no espaço público da Avenida Getúlio Vargas no município de Chapecó. É resultado de uma pesquisa etnográfica na rua que teve como foco de análise as práticas que delimitam, fragmentam e criam lugares no espaço público chapecoense. São apresentados diferentes contextos de sociabilidade, diferentes cenários que abrigam desde o passeio como uma forma costumeira de uso do espaço público que aparece na parte central da avenida às baladas na rua criadas a partir de práticas de jovens que se reúnem em espaços determinados, criam cenários e pontos de encontro. Estes lugares são constituídos por dinâmicas específicas de sociabilidade, analisadas, nesta dissertação, em torno das relações do ver e ser visto. As diferentes sociabilidades urbanas identificadas na Avenida Getúlio Vargas ressaltam a importância desta enquanto ícone do espaço público da cidade de Chapecó, sendo o envolvente físico e simbólico dessas diferentes sociabilidades. Dos cenários analisados, o prolonga aparece como espaço paradoxal, envolvido simultaneamente por conotações de transgressividade e permissividade. Relações ambíguas que se organizam em termos de coexistência, de simultaneidade e complementaridade, permitindo analisar o espaço público em termos de permanências e descontinuidades.
This research focuses on sociability in the public space of Avenida Getúlio Vargas in the municipality of Chapecó. It is a result of ethnographic research in the street that had the focus of analysis practices that define, fragment and create posts in the public space chapecoense. Are presented different social contexts, different scenarios that harbor from the tour - as a form of customary use of public space that appears in central part of the avenue - the ballads in the street - established practices of young people who gather in certain spaces, create scenarios and points of meeting. These places are made of specific dynamics of social, analyzed in this work, around the relations of the "see and be seen". The different urban sociability identified on Avenida Getúlio Vargas emphasized the importance of this as an icon of public space in the city of Chapecó and the surrounding physical and symbolic of different sociability. Of the scenarios examined, the prolonga appears as paradoxical space, surrounded both by connotations of transgressive and permissiveness. Ambiguous relationships that are organized in terms of coexistence, of simultaneity and complementarity, consider allowing the public space in terms of permanence and discontinuities.
