Within the nuclear industry there is an extensive need for evaluation of the safety of the plant. In such evaluations there is one phenomenon requiring some particular treatment, namely common cause failure (CCF). This involves the occurrences of components failing dependently, meaning failures that can overcome the applied redundancy or diversity. The impact of CCF is relatively large, but unfortunately the process of CCF analysis is complicated by the complex nature of CCF events and a very sparse availability of CCF data. Today, there are a number of methods for CCF analysis available with different characteristics, especially concerning their qualitative and quantitative features. The most common working procedure for CCF treatment is to divide the analysis in a qualitative and a quantitative part, but unfortunately the development of tools for the qualitative part has to a certain extent got behindhand. This subject is further explored in a comparative study focused on two totally different approaches for CCF analysis, the impact vector method and the unified partial method. Based on insights from this study an integrated impact vector and ‘Relations of Defences, Root causes and Coupling factors’ (RDRC) methodology is suggested to be further explored for progress towards a methodology incorporating both qualitative and quantitative aspects.

Forskning har visat att blivande pappor, som i denna studie även benämns som män eller förstagångspappa, har svårt att känslomässigt knyta an till graviditeten innan den blir synlig. Informationen och stödet från Mödrahälsovården under graviditeten är främst riktat till kvinnan, vilket gör att män ges en känsla av utanförskap. De beskriver känslor som att bli åsidosatt av barnmorskan vilket ökar känslan av oro. I Sverige har alla föräldrar rätt till föräldrastöd och individuellt anpassat stöd. Hur upplever blivande förstagångspappor sin delaktighet och vad är delaktighet för dem? Syftet med studien är att belysa förstagångspappors upplevelse av delaktighet i alla tänkbara aspekter av graviditet. En kvalitativ intervjustudie med åtta blivande förstagångspappor utfördes i Västra Götaland, Sverige under hösten 2013. Intervjuerna genomfördes när deras partner var i graviditetsvecka 31 till 40. Resultatet tydliggörs genom tre kategorier: Att vara inkluderad men stå vid sidan av, Relationens trygghetsskapande betydelse och Föreställningar om det okända. Resultatet redogör för mäns tankar och känslor om att vara delaktig under graviditeten. Barnmorskan ses som en kunskapskälla och inkluderar pappan genom ett gott bemötande, trots detta upplever pappor ett utanförskap. Under graviditeten antar männen en stödjande roll och har tankar om samhörighet och föräldraskap. För att män skall kunna uppleva delaktighet i alla tänkbara aspekter av graviditet behöver graviditeten förkroppsligas, vilket synliggörs i studiens övergripande tema: Frånvaro av förkroppsligande- ett hinder för delaktighet. Samhället har en föråldrad syn på graviditet och föräldraskap. Barnmorskan behöver få ökad kunskap om mäns behov av stöd under en graviditet, för att möjliggöra transitionen mot faderskapet och ge alla män rätt till lika föräldrastöd. Abstract: Research shows that expecting fathers, which in this study also referred to as male or first-time fathers’, have difficulties to emotionally connect to the pregnancy before it is visible. Information and support from the maternity care during pregnancy is mainly directed towards the women, this makes men feel left out. They describe feelings like being neglected by the midwife, which increases their feelings of anxiety. In Sweden all parents have the right to attend childbirth education and are entitled to individual support. What possibilities do men have for participating and how are they participating in the pregnancy? The aim of the study is to illuminate first-time fathers’ experiences of participating in all possible aspects of pregnancy. A qualitative study with eight expectant first-time fathers’ was conducted in Västra Götaland, Sweden in the autumn of 2013. The interviews occurred between 31th to 40th weeks of pregnancy. The result is illuminated through three categories: To be included but stand beside, The relationship that enhances security significance and Preconceptions about the unknown. The result describes men´s thoughts and feelings about being included in the pregnancy. Midwifes is seen as a source of knowledge and includes the father with her good care. Despite this, fathers experience being side lined. During pregnancy men takes on a supporting role and has thoughts about togetherness and parenting. If men shall be able to experience participation in all aspects of pregnancy, the pregnancy requires to be embodied, which get visible in the study´s main theme: Absence of embodiment- an impediment to participation. The midwife needs knowledge about men’s need for support during pregnancy in order to enable the transition to fatherhood and give all men the right to equal childbirth education.

This interdisciplinary study shows that because of the changing demands from consumer caused by the growing influence of the internet and file-sharing the Nordic Gaming industry is going through an economic evolution. This result was derived by using qualitative questionnaires directed towards Gaming industry decision makers in the Nordic region combined with critical discourse analysis based on the methodology of Norman Fairclough, using theories of different characters to understand the field.

In this thesis the case of the Nordic Gaming industry is used to assert that because of changing demands of consumers and an ever growing piracy movement, societies are evolving into transitional economies where it is increasingly harder to sell products consisting of pure information.

Försvarsviljan i Sverige är ett aktualiserat område, föremål för ett ökat uppmärksammande i den offentliga diskursen och i samband med upprättandet av en ny myndighet för det psykologiska försvaret. Vidare utgör Sveriges och övriga nordiska länders höga försvarsvilja en anomali, då de tillsammans avviker från forskningens normerande värden för vad som konstituerar en stark försvarsvilja. Denna forskning bygger på intervjuer med sakkunniga inom civilsamhället och Försvarsmakten, syftande till att förstå upphovet till svensk försvarsvilja och Sveriges inkluderande i avvikelsen i nordisk försvarsvilja (the Nordic Experience). Genom en fenomenografisk analys av respondenters upplevelse av fenomenet försvarsvilja, bidrar denna forskning med ökad kunskap om försvarsviljans identifierade fundaments inflytelser (kultur, geografi, historia), samt förståelse för varför försvarsviljan bör underhållas som en strategisk resurs. Forskningen bidrar därmed till Försvarsmaktens arbete i att verka som en del i denna process.

The Nordic countries share common interests to digitize services in the health care sector from which their eHealth strategies are a proof of. Sweden has specifically put effort on the global scheme by setting a goal of being the best in eHealth by 2025. As one of the main goals of the strategies is increasing patient empowerment, perspective of the health care professionals in this digital shift has yet remained less noticed and the concrete effects on them is still scarcely studied. This study focuses on providing the aspect of the health care professionals and how they have perceived and experienced the digital tools and eHealth services affecting their work and what attitudes they themselves have as users.                                This study utilized the mixed method approach and was done in collaboration with the Digga Halland project which aims towards enhancing health care workers’ digital competences and conditions to utilize eHealth. Previously collected baseline survey data from health care professionals in different municipalities in the Halland region was analysed and five health care professionals were recruited for in-depth, phenomenological interviews.             The results of this research indicate that the use of digital tools and services is common among health care professionals at work and outside work and the workers consider their digital competence rather good. However, the interview respondents presented varying attitudes towards digital services and eHealth depending on whether the services were evaluated from a professional role or outside work role when the professionals used the services themselves. Also, the current professional position guided whether the digital shift and eHealth were experienced more positively or negatively.

Sedan 2013 har allt fler börjat använda sig av streamingtjänster för film och TV på internet (Findahl,2014). I takt med att användningen ökar är det viktigt att tjänsterna är välutvecklade och lättillgängliga för användaren. I denna uppsats undersöker vi funktioner på de tre största Video on Demand-tjänsterna (VoD) i Sverige ur ett användarperspektiv. Med hjälp av befintliga teorier och litteratur diskuterar vi användarbarhet och genomför en områdesanalys av de utvalda VoD-tjänsterna. Utifrån analysen har vi gått vidare med tio funktioner för att avgränsa studien. Uppsatsen innehåller två metoder; fokus grupper och enkätundersökning. Resultatet från dessa metoder presenteras i en rankningslista som ska fungera som rekommendation till operatörerna. Slutsatsen som kan dras från resultatet är att en VoD-tjänst som har flera eller alla av funktioner från rankningslistan tillgängliga, kommer ge användare en betydligt bättre användarupplevelse på webbplatsen.
The development of streaming media services has rapidly evolved since 2013 (Findahl, 2014). As the usage of video on demand (VOD) services increases, it becomes more important that the services are well developed and accessible to its users. In this essay we study the functionality of the three most used VOD-services in Sweden, from a user perspective. Using existing theories and literature, we discussusability and conduct a field evaluation, analysing the three VOD services. Based on the conducted evaluation, we decided to move forward with ten features that, we found, were the most useful from a user perspective. It also helped delimit the study. The essay contains two research methods, a questionnaire survey and focus groups. The results from the study are presented in a ranking-list that will serve as a recommendation to the operators of the VOD services. The conclusion we made from the ranking-list is that a VOD service that take most of these functions into account will make for a better user experience.

Sammanfattning: Bakgrund: för många pappor kan det vara en av livets största och bästa stund att närvara vid när deras barn föds. Det finns studier som beskriver pappors upplevelse av sjukhusförlossning, däremot finns det få studier som beskriver pappors upplevelse av planerad hemförlossning. Syftet med den här studien är att beskriva pappans upplevelser och erfarenheter av planerad hemförlossning. Metod: i denna studie medverkar 105 pappor från de nordiska länderna som har deltagit i planerad hemförlossning mellan 2009-2011. Materialet från en öppen enkätfråga analyserades med hjälp av deduktiv ansats. Den öppna frågan löd ”beskriv gärna förlossningen med egna ord”. Resultat: papporna upplevde den planerade hemförlossningen som lugn och säker, mycket tack vare den professionella barnmorskan och den välbekanta miljön. Att få vara hemma med sin partner och om så önskades, sin familj var högt skattat. Födelseprocessen hemma beskrevs av papporna som att ”vi gjorde det tillsammans” och ”det var vår egen förlossning”. Papporna uttryckte delaktighet i förlossningsflödet. De kände också att de fick ett barn och var en del av en vacker förlossning full av kärlek. Konklusion: att välkomna ett barn hemma i en lugn miljö där paret känner sig trygga och ostörda, kan underlätta en positiv och meningsfull förlossningsupplevelse.

Walking is a common recreational activity enjoyed by people of all ages and fitness levels. The body of knowledge stresses the importance of physical and social environmental influences on individual decisions to walk, which benefit health and well-being. The socio-ecological approach chosen as the theoretical framework for this study provides a comprehensive understanding of how multiple psychological, social and environmental factors influence engagement in leisure walking. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to compare Nordic walking with rambling, as examples of leisure walking activities, in terms of socio-environmental influences, which produce unique leisure experiences in order to determine how these leisure experiences benefit mental well-being. The study used mixed-method approach. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected between April 2013 and August 2014. Quantitative data were gathered from 220 Nordic walking practitioners and 288 ramblers who completed close-ended online surveys. Qualitative data were obtained from the interviews with 13 ramblers and 12 Nordic walking practitioners. The comparison of the quantitative findings revealed that Nordic walking and rambling groups scored high on mental well-being scales. However, there was no significant difference in WEMWBS scores between the groups, which suggests that in general recreational walking benefits mental well-being. The comparative qualitative analyses revealed that the walking activities enhanced well-being in different ways. Nordic walking promoted a sense of achievement through opportunities for the commitment to personal health goals and skills development. Rambling enhanced well-being by offering positive experiences of social interactions with like-minded people in aesthetically pleasing natural environments. This study is the first step to bridge the gap in knowledge by offering a broad understanding of benefits of Nordic walking, in comparison to rambling, towards mental well-being.

This qualitative study explored sport psychologists’ transition into professional establishment through the stories of two highly experienced Nordic sport psychology practitioners. At the time of the study, the two males (named Charlie and Billie for the study) had worked applied with clients for more than 20 years and were each holding a master’s degree in sport psychology. Narrative interviews were administered to investigate the participants’ stories of the transition from novice professional to experienced professional practitioner, with each interview lasting about one and a half hour. Additionally, participants were enquired on one follow up interview each to allow for further elaboration. The researcher then took the position of the story analyst (Smith, 2017) and conducted a thematic narrative analysis based on the gathered data. A narrative theme of “paving the way” emerged, relating to how the participants had to create their own work within a field that was not yet nationally developed or recognized and, as a consequence of this, had to pave the way for sport and exercise psychology as a professional and an academic field in their respective country. The findings are discussed based on common and individual reflections between the participants in relation to the overall narrative theme, their transition in general, previous literature, and theoretical frameworks. The practical implications provided by this study may assist novice and semi-experienced practitioners striving to get established, as well as supervisors and educational institutions to better support and prepare students for their upcoming careers as applied sport psychologists.
Föreliggande kvalitativa studie undersökte idrottspsykologiska rådgivares övergång till professionell etablering genom historierna från två väl erfarna nordiska idrottspsykologiska rådgivare. Vid studiens tidpunkt hade de två manliga deltagarna (kallade Charlie och Billie i den här studien) arbetat tillämpat med klienter i mer än 20 år och var och en av dem innehade en magisterexamen i idrottspsykologi. Narrativa intervjuer utfördes i syfte att undersöka deltagarnas historier om övergången från oerfaren till erfaren professionell rådgivare, varav varje intervju varade cirka en och en halv timme. Dessutom tillfrågades deltagarna att delta i varsin uppföljningsintervju i syfte att öppna upp möjlighet för ytterligare informationsgivande. Forskaren intog sedan perspektivet av en historieanalytiker (Smith, 2017) och utförde en tematisk narrativ analys baserat på den insamlade datan. Ett narrativt tema av ”bana väg” framkom relaterat till hur deltagarna varit tvungna att skapa sin egen tjänst inom ett fält som inte än blivit nationellt utvecklat eller erkänt. Som en konsekvens av detta fick de bana väg för idrotts- och motionspsykologin som ett professionellt och ett akademiskt område i deras respektive länder. Resultatet diskuteras utifrån gemensamma och individuella reflektioner deltagarna emellan vad gäller det övergripande narrativa temat, deras övergång generellt, föregående litteratur och teoretiska ramverk. De praktiska implikationerna som framförs till följd av denna studie kan bistå oerfarna och semierfarna rådgivare som strävar mot att bli etablerade och även handledare och utbildningsinstitutioner för att de bättre ska kunna förbereda och stötta studenter inför deras kommande karriärer som tillämpade idrottspsykologiska rådgivare.

This thesis examines the occupation of the French department of the Nord in the First World War. The focus is on the French responses to occupation, especially the way in which certain actions were understood as patriotic or non-patriotic – acceptable or unacceptable. These behaviours are categorised and studied via three main themes, what might be termed collaboration, criminality, and resistance, although I argue for a reformulation of some of these Second-World-War conceptual categories, taking into consideration the specificities of this occupation. It is demonstrated that the occupied French created their own war culture, a culture de l’occupé, based around notions of respectability, acceptability, and social-patriotic mores. Those breaching the limits of these norms faced opprobrium and punishment, both during and after the war, although this was never as violent or extensive as elsewhere (such as occupied Belgium from 1918, or occupied Europe in 1944-5 and beyond). For some, the moral economy was redefined, creating a situation in which criminality or misconduct became effective modes of survival. This, combined with economic difficulties, led to a belief among chroniclers of occupied life that crime was increasing, and that young people were particularly involved in this. Fears of moral corruption abounded. The occupation culture demanded opposition to the Germans and expressions of patriotism, often containing a performative element. This could be achieved through the protests of French notables, symbolic gestures carried out by the wider population, and active resistance involving a minority of occupés . Whatever the success of resistance, some forms were praised after the occupation, with the French and British governments expressing their gratitude through compensation and medals. The official occupation narrative in the post-war period became one of suffering and resistance, and suffering as resistance; but the occupation memory remained local, eventually overshadowed by that of the Second World War.

Aquesta investigació organitza una lectura crítica de les obres més importants de la narrativa metaficcional angloamericana des de la pregunta per la crisi de l’experiència i la seva relació amb la crisi del relat que Walter Benjamin i Theodor W. Adorno formulen al llarg de la primera meitat del segle XX. Aquesta aproximació conceptual analitza un corpus extens de narrativa metaficcional postmoderna com a resposta i tematització d’aquesta crisi i com a proposta de restitució de figures de totalitat en relació a les quals seguir mantenint la possibilitat de produir doblement un món experienciable i un subjecte d’aquesta experiència. D’aquesta manera, en les obres de Thomas Pynchon, John Barth, Robert Coover, Donald Barthelme, John Fowles, Gilbert Sorrentino i Kurt Vonnegut Jr., entre d’altres, es fa evident una continuïtat en l’evolució de la narrativa en el període analitzat en relació a les diverses figures que es proposen temptativament per a restituir una experiència en crisi.
This research analyzes the most representative works of angloamerican metafictional narrative from the point of view of experience. Taking the relation between the crisis of experience and the crisis of narration as Walter Benjamin and Theodor W. Adorno discussed it on their work, this research offers a critical interpretation of postmodern metafiction, first, as a clear tematization of this crisis and, second, as a series of attempts to reconstitute, though problematically, the conditions that makes a dialectical and formative notion of experience possible. Hence, the works of Thomas Pynchon, John Barth, Robert Coover, Donald Barthelme, John Fowles, Gilbert Sorrentino and Kurt Vonnegut Jr., among others, show an evident continuity in the way the narrative of the period of time studied evolves in relation to the different figures offered as a temporary restitution of an experience in crisis.

L’enquête s’est intéressée à la rencontre de différents acteurs dans une filière formée autour de la production et de la vente d’un coton agroécologique. En France, de jeunes entrepreneurs issus de Grandes Écoles proposent un prix avantageux pour le coton. Au Nordeste du Brésil, des producteurs pratiquent une agriculture familiale non mécanisée et des membres d’ONG en viennent à jouer un rôle d’intermédiaires entre agriculteurs et acheteurs. Confrontés à la fragilité et à la petite taille de leurs organisations respectives, certains acteurs en viennent à engager plus de force de travail ou à prendre des risques pour tenter de maintenir la filière en vie au nom de la triple promesse (« devenir un modèle », « écologique », « sociale ») qu’ils attribuent initialement au projet.L’enquête qualitative, réalisée pendant plusieurs mois dans les deux pays, a permis d’observer plusieurs problèmes qui se posent aux acteurs lorsque des équipements sont mis en place pour répondre à la demande de qualité du marché français. Parmi le matériel recueilli, j’ai privilégié l’analyse du contenu d’entretiens et de moments de réunions entre les acteurs.La thèse interroge alors la nature des relations et des formes de solidarité qui se jouent dans la filière. La première partie de la thèse reconstitue la mise en place des équipements (production, certification) en mettant en lumière la nature pratique des problèmes qui se présentent (réparation d’une défaillance, évaluation du prix) ainsi que les formes d’évaluation morale à l’œuvre. En retraçant des expériences de vie et de travail à la fois contemporaines et antérieures à la filière, la seconde partie dévoile la rencontre des mondes qui s’opère dans la filière, ainsi que l’origine institutionnelle (État, ONU, grandes ONG) des formats observés dans les équipements. Je montre alors comment un processus d’individualisation des risques et des responsabilités, encouragé en filigrane par les grandes institutions, rencontre le travail normatif propre aux acteurs.La thèse contribue ainsi à apporter un éclairage sur la manière dont des réseaux et des mondes composés d’éléments divers (production, agriculture familiale, marché, mouvements sociaux, églises, États, aide au développement) se rencontrent dans une forme concrète d’expérience
This doctoral thesis examines the interaction between various actors of an agroecological cotton production and supply chain. In France, young entrepreneurs who graduated from selective higher education establishments offer an attractive price for cotton. In the Northeast Region of Brazil, producers practice a non-mechanized form of agriculture on family farms, while NGO members act as intermediaries between farmers and buyers. Faced with the fragility of their small-scale organizations, some actors have come to hire more workforce or to take risks in order to try to sustain the cotton chain in the name of the project’s original threefold promise: “becoming a model,” “ecological,” and “social.”Conducted over several months in both countries, the qualitative survey enabled me to observe various problems that the actors are faced with as equipment is implemented to meet the quality expectations of the French market. Among the collected data, I have focused on content analysis to examine interviews and meeting transcripts between the actors.I therefore question the nature of the relations and forms of solidarity taking place in the cotton chain. The first part of the thesis outlines the implementation of equipment (production, certification), highlighting the practical nature of the resulting issues (fixing failures, evaluating prices), as well as the forms of moral assessment at work. Tracing life and work experiences both within the chain and before its existence, the second part shows how several worlds are brought together within the chain, as well as the institutional origin (state, the UN, large NGOs) of the equipment formats. I demonstrate how a process of individualization of risks and responsibilities, implicitly encouraged by large institutions, develops alongside the actors’ normative work.The thesis thereby contributes to a clearer understanding of how networks and worlds composed of diverse elements (production, family farming, market, social movements, Churches, states, development aid) collide in concrete experiences

Les problématiques liées à la démocratie locale et à l'innovation institutionnelle constituent le thème de recherche de notre travail. Suite à notre exploration empirique, celle de la construction d'un projet de territoire coordonné par une maison de quartier à Dunkerque impliquant différents types d'acteurs, nous avons constaté que la qualité sensible des intersubjectivités donne naissance à des symboles appropriés et à la création de cadres d'actions collectives dynamiques. Des espaces se construisent de cette manière et sont ceux de la socialisation continue et de la construction des motifs politiques. La présence de médiateurs, envisagés, de ce point de vue, comme des accompagnateurs d'un "jeu social sensible", constitue un important enjeu politique. Nos compétences citoyennes se construisent de cette manière car les liens entre ces espaces et les formes que prend la citoyenneté traduisent des interactions sociales qui s'appuient sur l'expérience de la considération. Ils sont des lieux d'échanges des représentations sociales. Ainsi, des processus de délibérations collectives multiformes et innovants construisent des équilibres délicats entre les acteurs d'un territoire. Notre travail de recherche propose de mettre en exergue les ressorts sensibles des formes d'accords et de solidarités afin d'interroger la gestion collective des émotions. Nous avons de cette façon compris les caractéristiques des compétences citoyennes et les qualités de l'espace public. Notre réflexion s'appuie sur une pensée pragmatique, incarnée par des auteurs tel que John Dewey, Erving Goffman mais aussi Daniel Cefaï, George Marcus et Richard Shusterman. Cette dernière se combine avec les travaux des sociologies représentées par Max Weber, Georg Simmel ou Edgar Morin...Pour compléter, au final, les observations de Maurice Blanc, Loïc Blondiaux, ou encore Pierre Rosanvallon, relatives à la participation démocratique
This research deals with issues linked to local democracy and institutional innovation. Through empirical exploration of the construction of a territory project coordinated by different kinds of actors from a community centre in Dunkirk, we noted that the perceptible quality of intersubjectivities both gives birth to appropriate symbols and new frameworks for dynamic collaborative actions. Spaces are constructed that way : they are those of continuous socialization through which political interests raise. Having mediators coach this kind of sensitive societal game is an important stake. Our civic capabilities develop that way because links between these spaces and the forms taken by citizenship reflect social interactions built upon the experience of consideration. They are places of exchange of social representations. Thus, varied and innovative collective deliberations processes build delicate balances between actors of a given territory. Our research propose to highlight the sensitive springs of the forms of consent and solidarity in order to interrogate the collective management of emotions.In doing so, we have understood the specificities of citizenship competencies and the qualities of the public space. Our reflection is based upon a pragmatic thinking embodied by authors such as John Dewey, Erving Goffman but also Daniel Cefaï, George Marcus and Richard Shusterman. The latter combines with sociologies represented by Max Weber, Georg Simmel or Edgar Morin, and is completed at last with observations by Maurice Leblanc, Loïc blondiaux or Pierre Rosanvallon on democratic participation

Quelles sont les caractéristiques d’une théologie issue de la mystique ? Telle est la question à laquelle nous tenterons de répondre à partir d’un cas particulier, celui des Showings de Julian de Norwich (XIVe-XVe s.). La version longue de cet opus nous permet d’observer un phénomène d’amplification et d’élaboration qui touche les domaines de l’anthropologie, de la christologie et de la théologie trinitaire. Puisant dans l’expérience vive, le propos théologique de Julian est traversé des affects liés à ce vécu. Julian parle de Dieu en ne cessant de parler à Dieu et en établissant avec ses « semblables dans le Christ » une communauté émotionnelle et noétique. Mais une expérience mystique ne donne pas forcément lieu à une théologie mystique au sens où l’entendent le Pseudo-Denys et Jean Gerson. C’est plutôt à une théologie prophétique et visionnaire que nous avons à faire, qui assume pleinement son caractère partiel, situé. Nous nous trouvons ici à un tournant de l’histoire de la théologie et de la spiritualité qui voit l’émergence de deux domaines séparés, celui de la théologie scolastique ou universitaire et celui de la spiritualité, là où la patristique témoignait d’une profonde unité. Les différentes méthodologies mises en œuvre dans cette recherche sont au service d’une étude qui se situe tout à la fois dans le champ de la théologie et de l’histoire de la spiritualité
What are the main characteristics of a theology stemming from a mystic experience ? This thesis attempts to answer this question by examining an individual case, that of The Showings of Julian of Norwich (C14th- C15th). The Long Text of this opus enables us to observe a development in the fields of anthropology, Christology and Trinitarian theology. Firmly rooted in her experience of life, Julian’s theological discourse is interwoven with the emotions drawn from that experience. Julian speaks about God in speaking to God and in establishing with her « fellow Christians » an emotional and noetic community. But a mystical experience does not automatically give birth to a mystical theology as understood by Pseudo-Dionysius and Jean Gerson. We are rather in the presence of a prophetical and visionary theology that is fully conscious of its partial, limited, and contextualised nature. We find ourselves at a turning-point in the history of theology and spirituality, which sees the emergence of two separate fields that of scholastic theology and that of spirituality, where previously patristic theology bore witness to a profound unity. The different methodologies used in this research are in the service of a study within two distinct fields : those of theology and the history of spirituality

A l’heure où la plupart des musées investissent dans des sites Internet qui rendent souvent une grande partie de leurs collections accessibles à distance, la mission du musée en tant que lieu physique d’accès aux œuvres est remise en question. Le rapport aux publics doit être repensé : la nature de sa relation aux œuvres est transformée, et l'émergence du concept de visite augmentée introduit des dispositifs renouvelés de médiation au sein même de l’espace muséal. Cette thèse rend compte d’une expérimentation de terrain autour de Muséo+, outil de médiation de contenus muséographiques au moyen de dispositifs techno-pragmatiques interactifs. L’ensemble des contenus numériques est accessible, via l’application, sur une tablette tactile. Le dispositif et l’application qu’il supporte ont été conçus pour accompagner et guider la découverte du Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille, in situ, au cours d’une expérience de visite physique dans les lieux. Ils s’adressent à tous les enfants de 6 à 12 ans, sans et avec handicap divers (surdité, autisme, déficience intellectuelle, précocité) : ce travail s’inscrit ainsi dans une réflexion sur le Design for all (aussi appelée conception universelle). La question de l'accessibilité intellectuelle et sensible est au cœur de ce travail, qui propose un retour d’expérience sur l’appropriation de contenus culturels. Le point de vue adopté consiste à observer et à qualifier une expérience de visite physique avec accompagnement numérique, et les mécanismes de construction de sens mobilisés
At a time when most museums invest in websites that often make much of their collections accessible from a distance, the museum's mission as a physical place where people can access the works is in question. The relationship to the public must be reconsidered : the nature of the relationship to the works is thus transformed, and the emergence of the concept of enhanced tours has introduced devices which should renew mediation within the museum space. This thesis reports a field experiment around Muséo +, a mediation tool which makes museum content available through interactive techno-oriented devices. All the content is accessible via the application, on a digital tablet. The tablet and the application have been designed to support and guide the discovery of the Palais des Beaux-Arts of Lille, in situ, during a physical tour. It is available for all children from age 6 to 12, with and without disabilities (deafness, autism, developmental disabilities, Precocity) : this work is thus part of a reflection on the Design for All (also called Universal Design). The issue of intellectual and sensitive accessibility is central in this work, offering feedback on the appropriation of cultural content. The approach taken is to observe and describe a physical visit experience with digital assistance and the processus used for the construction of meaning

The purpose of this study was to investigate with the interreaction between consumers’ satisfaction, experience and loyalty at the theme restaurant (Nordic Restaurant). The research objects were those who consumed at the Nordic Restaurant between May 1st to May 10 in 2010. Sample method was convenient sampling . A questionnaire survey was used as the research method in this study. The total mount of questionnaires were 550, 521 polls were effective while the other 56 were not. The effective questionnaire rate was 89.25%.The questionnaire of this study includes four parts : scales of demographic , satisfaction, experience and loyalty. The statistical tools descriptive analysis, independent sampled t-test, one-way ANOVA, confirmatory factor analysis, and path analysis were conducted by the study. The results were found: 1. Most of the consumers of the Nordic Restaurant had the following features : female, aged between 26 to 30, most of their occupation were “other”, the average monthly income was “NT$ 10001- 30000 ”, most part of them were the first-time consumers . They mostly come here with their friends. The most consumers get the Nordic Restaurant information by “relatives’ and friends’ introducing ” 2.In “Consumer`s Satisfaction ”factor ,the Nordic Restaurant consumers were most satisfied in “traffic and location” ,and then “overall image ”,but not satisfied in “sanitation and decoration”.In “Consumer`s Experience”,the consumers were most to show consideration for “realistic refuge” ,showing the consumers want different experiences when they have a meal in the restaurant .Then “improving interpersonal relationship ”was the second part they concerned , “inquisitiveness” was not enough. In “Consumer`s Loyalty ”,the consumers were most concerned with “ repurchase” ,and “joining members ”was the second part they concerned. 3.By relevant analysis and path analysis , we found that if the Nordic Restaurant’s manager wants to imporv “Consumer`s Loyalty”, he must upgrade the “Consumer`s Experience” first.

This qualitative study uses narrative inquiry (Connelly & Clandinin, 1988, 1990, 2001) and self-study to investigate ways to further understand and facilitate the integration of holistic philosophies of education with media literacy pedagogies. As founder and director of the Youth Media Literacy Project and a self-titled Imagitator (one who agitates imagination), I have spent over 10 years teaching media literacy in various high schools, universities, and community centres across North America. This study will focus on my own personal practical knowledge (Connelly & Clandinin, 1982) as a culture jammer, educator and cancer survivor to illustrate my original vision of a ‘holistic media literacy pedagogy’. This research reflects on the emergence and impact of holistic media literacy in my personal and professional life and also draws from relevant interdisciplinary literature to challenge and synthesize current insights and theories of media literacy, holistic education and culture jamming.
