Full textAbstract:
This thesis intends to establish whether and to what degree possible explanations for the Visegrad Group´s response to the 2015-2016 migration crisis can be provided by Postfunctionalism and Intergovernmentalism. The purpose of this study is not to explicitly test the two theories but to use them as tools to better understand the case under analysis, by applying a non-competitive approach. Based on the elaboration of 21 official statements released by the Visegrad Group between 2015-2016, findings show that both theories could (partially) confirmed my initial hypotheses. I conclude that security matters (as Intergovernmentalist suggests) consisted in the lion´s share in the statements, while economy matters (as also suggested by Intergovernmentalism) did not. When it comes to identity matters (as Postfunctionalism suggests), I conclude that those were used in connection to security matters, with the aim of forging a common European response to the crisis and to justify the partisan reaction of the Visegrad Group.

Full textAbstract:
The Cuban Missile Crisis has been considered by political scientists and historians as one of the most critical point in U.S. – Soviet relations during the Cold War and probably the only case of the possibility of the nuclear exchange was on highest level. The Cuban Missile Crisis was considered to be a part of continued political game of the ideological struggle between the leaders of United States and Soviet Union. However, the fact of the existence of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba created situation for U.S. government to decide what course of actions should be taken and not escalate a further confrontation, which could lead to a mutual nuclear exchange. The suggestions to such course of actions were coming from different members of the Executive Committee of the National Council or EXCOMM, which did make impact on U.S. president’s decision making in relation to Soviet installation of nuclear missiles in Cuba in October 1962. The focus of this study relied on outcome of the decisions taken on secret meetings within the Executive Committee of the National Security Council or EXCOMM (included U.S. president as member of this committee) during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. The results of this study show if inter – and intragroup conflicts within EXCOOM made such impact on decision making outcome.

Full textAbstract:
This doctoral research project conducts a political sociology of knowledge of non-governmental actors engaged in advocating and reporting on issues relating to conflict and human rights. It engages the following research question: what are the limits of knowledge produced by non-governmental advocates? This question is applied to empirical case studies looking at, firstly, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the International Crisis Group, and secondly, a network of global activists working on post-war Sri Lanka (2010-2014). Applying a Bourdieusian sociological framework, the thesis argues that professional advocates' epistemic practices are shaped by an array of socio-political dependencies. Contrasting with past applications of Bourdieu to International Relations, this thesis reveals contextually-specific dependencies through multiple levels and scales of analysis. At the organisational level, these dependencies manifest through advocacy NGOs' market-like relations with their targeted consumers, as well as their relations with rival knowledge producers. At the level of the human practitioner, it is shown how leading advocacy NGOs are reliant upon a relatively narrow labour market, consisting of practitioners who share a strong dispositional affinity with their consumers. Studying a smaller group of global advocates working on post-war Sri Lanka, the thesis also demonstrates how symbiotic relations between NGO practitioners and leading policy stakeholders had a structuring effect on advocates' network relations, as well as stimulating a deference to a dominant policy discourse of 'liberal peace'. Shifting the attention to advocates' extraction of knowledge from its proximal contexts, this thesis also examines the influence of advocates' localised dependencies. In the case of post-war Sri Lanka, it is shown how foreign advocates' knowledge is informed by a limited set of domestic actors, primarily encompassing the country's liberal elites. Overall, these dependencies are argued to place significant constraints on knowledge generated in advocacy contexts - limits that differ to other modes of knowledge production.

Full textAbstract:
Mestrado em Economia Internacional e Estudos EuropeusA crise financeira do início do século XXI atingiu proporções de enorme dimensão no que respeita ao sistema bancário. Mas nem todas as instituições bancárias sofreram da mesma maneira o impacto da crise. O objectivo do meu trabalho é o de encontrar algumas explicações para o facto de o Banco Santander Totta, banco onde sou colaboradora, ter resistido melhor à crise do que os outros bancos portugueses. Numa primeira parte abordo a questão de saber o que têm sido as crises ao longo da História. Muitas das crises a que a Humanidade assistiu têm pontos de contacto com a realidade que vivemos agora. Desde que há economia há crises. Mas a de 1929 ficou na memória colectiva como uma das mais graves. Procuro sistematizar os vários tipos de crises. E concluir que a actual crise se caracteriza exactamente por acumular factores de várias crises anteriores, cada um potenciando os factores negativos dos outros. O caso específico de Portugal é objecto de atenção especial. Descrevo a seguir a cultura institucional do Banco Santander que se caracteriza por privilegiar o aspecto prudencial do seu desenvolvimento e por uma estabilidade accionista muito significativa. Utilizando alguns dos rácios mais importantes para avaliar o desempenho dos bancos, comparo o Banco Santander Totta com os seus principais competidores. A comparação é-lhe francamente favorável. Concluo com a minha apreciação das razões que mais contribuem para aquele resultado. A diluição de custos e o acesso a fontes de financiamento permitida pela participação num grupo internacional com a projecção do Grupo Santander, a prudência do banco na gestão da sua política de crédito, a relativamente menor exposição a dívidas soberanas, uma política comercial que permite angariação de liquidez, são algumas das razões que identifico nas conclusões do meu trabalho.
The financial crisis of the beginning of the 21st century has reached proportions of a great dimension in what respects the banking system. The aim of my work is to find some explanations for the fact that Banco Santander Totta, where I am currently working, managed to resist the crisis in a better way than the other Portuguese Banks. In a first part, I address the issue of knowing what crisis have been throughout History. Many of the crisis that Humanity has seen, have similarities with the reality we live in. Since economy exists, crisis exists as well. But the one of 1929, stayed in the collective memory as one of the worst. I try to systematize the different types of crisis. And conclude that the current crisis, can be characterized by the accumulation of some of the factors of the previous different crisis, each one aggravating the negative factors of the others. The specific case of Portugal is discussed with special attention. In the following part, I describe the institutional culture of Banco Santander whose highlights are the importance of the prudential aspects of its development and its remarkable shareholder stability. Using some of the most important ratios to evaluate the performance of banks, I compare Banco Santander Totta with its main competitors. The comparison is rather favorable to the bank I am studying. I conclude with my appreciation of the reasons that most contribute to that result. The dilution of costs and the access to funding sources allowed by the bank’s participation in an international group with the importance of Santander Group, the bank’s prudence in its credit policy management, its minor exposition to sovereign debts, its commercial policy that results in increasing liquidity, these are some of the reasons that I mention in the conclusions of my work.

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka hur skolpersonal upplever sin psykiska, fysiska och sociala arbetsmiljö ett år efter attacken mot Kronan skola i Trollhättan. Studiens resultat är baserat på semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem personer ur skolpersonalen. För analys av materialet har den kvalitativa metoden Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (I.P.A) använts. Resultatet visar på vilka faktorer som informanterna lyfter fram som mest betydelsefulla för deras återhämtning och tillbakagång till arbetet efter händelsen. Fem övergripande teman framkom genom analysen som de mest framstående. De övergripande temana är baserade på informanternas upplevelser av socialt stöd, trygghet, den förlorade mötesplatsen, sociala påfrestningar och mental bearbetning. Resultatet presenterar hur viktiga komponenterna säkerhet, trygghet och socialt stöd har varit för informanternas bearbetning av det upplevda traumat, samt deras återgång till arbetet. I slutdiskussionen belyses informanternas erfarenhet av en arbetsgrupp vars gemenskap beskrivs ha utvecklats till att bli starkare efter genomgången kris.The purpose of this study was to examine how school personnel have reacted in regard to their mental, physical, and social working environments one year after the Kronan School attack in Trollhättan. The study's results are based on semi-structured interviews with five staff members. The qualitative method of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (I.P.A) has been used to analyse the material. The results show which factors the staff members have considered to be the reasons for their recovery and setbacks when returning to work after the event. Five comprehensive themes presented themselves as being the most prominent after analysis. The comprehensive themes are based on the interviewees' experiences of social support, security, the lost meeting place, social strains, and mental processing. The results present how important the component's safety, security, and social support has been for the interviewees' processing of the traumatic event, as well as their return to work. The conclusion emphasises the interviewees' experience in a workgroup, where solidarity has developed and strengthened after experiencing crisis.

Fallstudien undersöker vad som får sjuksköterskor på akutmottagningen i Kalmar att fortsätta arbeta under den rådande covid-19 pandemin. Studien utgår från en induktiv ansats för att skapa en förståelse för det som undersökts. För att samla in empirisk data som grund för studien har fem kvalitativa intervjuer genomförts och tolkats. Under studien har det framkommit att det som får sjuksköterskorna att fortsätta arbeta har att göra med attribut som tillskrivs professionen. Gemenskapen i arbetsgruppen har varit central såväl som allmänhetens bekräftelse för professionen och dess betydelse. Dessutom har det varit av betydelse att kunna stänga av sina känslor för att orka fortsätta arbeta.This case study examines the driving forces to work during the on-going covid-19 pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
In times of the pandemic, Facebook has become a virtual space that through e.g.“coronavirus support groups” (Harris, 2020), partially substitutes social interactions and allows its users to better cope with the isolation and social distancing. A public Facebook group “Lappis” established in 2006 is a space facilitating communication for the local community of the biggest student housing in Stockholm “Stora Lappkärrsberget”. Since the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020, Covid-related postings started to emerge in the group’s forum. The study examines Covid-related content in order to define the function of the group through describing the forms of communication around the pandemic, i.e. the themes, the scope and the ways the content is conveyed. In doing so, the model combining the uses and gratifications theory and the theory of affordances is applied, allowing to investigate the motivations and interactivity of the members through Facebook group affordances. In order to encompass the puzzle from multiple angles, an adaptive approach of mixed methods is used by combining: qualitative content analysis and survey. Key finding of the research is that the Covid-related content is a minor part of the content shared in the group, yet that it provokes extensive discussions among the members with both “aggressive” and “unaggressive” responses. Furthermore, it is argued that the group has potential to be a coronavirus support group (Harris, 2020) and a substitute for interpersonal communication (Papacharissi & Mendelson, 2011). Finally, the study identifies possibilities for future research in the further examination of local Facebook groups in the context of pandemic, in order to map the possible changes in Facebook affordances that would lead to higher reliability of those groups as spaces for sharing Covid-related content.

Full textAbstract:
New and experienced leaders sometimes underestimate the importance of the follower and context in their ability to be effective and successful in the long term. During an organization crisis or in a conflict situation, a leaders’ verbal and nonverbal communication behaviors and an awareness of the contextual factors and followers’ feelings involved may contribute more to long-term effectiveness and success more generally than certain characteristics or type of leadership, even if that style is the prevalent model of leadership within the organization. In theory, every leader should benefit from a greater understanding of the evolving study and theory of leadership psychology, but to put the knowledge into practice is a completely different story. This case study depicts some of the new and existing challenges facing leaders today, in hopes that the way in which the information is presented through a story will better help in illustrating the mistakes that all leaders can and do make, so the events and people in the story serve to prevent these mistakes from being made.

Full textAbstract:
Carson McCullers's neglected short stories "Sucker", "Like That", and "The Haunted Boy" depict stark adolescent crises. Her character analyses dramatize important elements of many theories of adolescent psychology. Each of these stories depicts what happens when something goes horribly wrong in the course of an already difficult stage of life. In "Sucker" two different stages of adolescent development collide. Pete and Sucker go through different psychological adjustments. The two boys discover the difficulties of adolescent romance, hero-worship, peer group formation and exclusion, and power reversal. The narrator in "Like That" struggles with her Peter-Pan complex as she witnesses her sister go through an adolescent romance. She despises - and fears - the changes that adolescence and adulthood bring to her life and her family. "The Haunted Boy" explores the struggles of Hugh as he deals with issues of adult imitation, lack of a strong male role model, peer loyalty, and emotional repression.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The 2008 global economic crisis marks the beginning of considerable systemic changes in global governance. The ‘Group of 20’ (G20), which entered the centre stage of global governance in response to the crisis, may be seen as both a result of and as a vehicle for those changes. Representing some 85 per cent of the global economy the group has the potential to alter the international order almost by stealth. Hence, there is good reason for undertaking a deeper examination of its role in and impact on global governance. This study critically examines some of the changes in global governance embodied – and brought about – by the G20. By using analytical tools from the critical theory of Robert Cox and constructivism, it studies changes in three dimensions of global governance: the material, the institutional and the ideational, so as to achieve a holistic understanding of the nature of the changes taking place within global governance. In so doing, the study sheds light on the role of the G20 in global governance, the impact of the group on global cooperation and the nature of the shift in global governance that it represents.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die 2008 globale ekonomiese krisis kan as die begin van aansienlike sistemiese veranderinge in globale regeerkunde beskou word. Die 'Groep van 20' (G20), wat in reaksie op die krisis ’n sentrale rol in globale regeerkunde ingeneem het, kan as beide 'n resultaat en drywer van hierdie veranderinge gesien word. Die groep verteenwoordig ongeveer 85 persent van die globale ekonomie, en het dus die potensiaal om grootskaalse verandering in die internasionale orde te weeg te bring. Dit is dus belangrik om die groep se rol in globale regeerkunde meer deeglik te ondersoek. Deur gebruik te maak van analitiese metodes wat gebasseer is op die kritiese teorie van Robert Cox asook konstruktivisme, ondersoek hierdie studie veranderinge in drie dimensies van globale regeerkunde. Materiële en institusionele veranderinge, asook veranderinge binne die dimensie van idees, word geïdentifiseer met die oog op 'n meer holistiese begrip van die aard van die veranderinge. Die studie werp daardeur lig op die rol van die G20 in globale regeerkunde, die groep se impak op globale samewerking, en die aard van die magsverskuiwing in globale regeerkunde wat dit verteenwoordig.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med denna studie var att ge insikt i hur Scandic Hotels Group AB:s (Scandic) ekonomistyrning påverkades över strategisk, taktiskt och operativ nivå av Coronakrisen. Tidigare studier kring ekonomistyrning under en kris lyfte fram ett skiftat fokus och att framförallt planering, kontroll, kommunikation och information påverkades. Meningen med studien var inte att objektifiera, utan att skapa ytterligare förståelse för hur ekonomistyrningen, över de tre organisatoriska nivåerna, fungerade i en specifik situation för att utveckla teori. Information samlades in genom att granska Scandics offentliggjorda dokument samt att intervjua sju respondenter ifrån olika nivåer på företaget som sysslade med ekonomistyrning. Vad som blev tydligt var att Scandics ekonomistyrningen antog en ny form utifrån ett förändrat, främst kortsiktigt, fokus mot likviditet, kassaflöde och kostnader, vilket även tidigare studier beskriver. Vad tidigare studier inte beskriver till samma grad, men som var tydligt på Scandic var att den taktiska nivån tenderade försvinna samtidigt som förändringarna skiljde sig åt på strategisk och operativ nivå. Strategisk nivå tenderade att bli mer traditionell i sin ekonomistyrning med fokus på det finansiella, samtidigt som den operativa blev modernare och såg främst till kunderna. Det planerades kortsiktigt för att klara av kassaflödet på strategisk nivå och för att styra bemanningen på operativ nivå. Viss långsiktig planering förekom dock på strategisk nivå för att säkra bolagets finanser. Kontroll genom jämförelser frånsågs och vad som blev väsentligt på strategisk nivå var det finansiella. På operativ nivå kontrollerades dock mer mjuka värden som kundnöjdheten och personalens välmående då dessa ansågs vara de enda som gick att påverka. På den operativa nivån gavs större frihet att arbeta med intäkterna samtidigt som den strategiska nivån betonade att allt skulle ske resurseffektivt, vilket aktualiserades genom ett inköpsstopp som infördes. Utifrån detta intensifierades en ökad kostnadsmedvetenhet på den operativa nivån. Kommunikationen av informationen skedde på ett “top-down” vis då avgörande beslut togs ovanifrån. På den strategiska nivån hölls fler möten kring intern finansiell information och beslut. Detta medan kommunikationen på hotellnivå blev mer inkluderande i och med att bemanningsreduktioner gjort att personalen behövde vara flexiblare och de kom därför närmare varandra i sina nya roller. Mer extern information krävdes över hela verksamheten då det var externa faktorer som orsakat krisen. Strategisk nivå var i behov av denna för att anpassa sig efter marknadsläget samtidigt som operativ nivå behövde informationen då efterfrågan styrde själva hotelldriften. Coronakrisen var en extrem kris som påverkade efterfrågan inom besöksnäringen avsevärt, vilket krävde aktioner och förändring. Överlag var det kortsiktighet som karaktäriserade hela Scandics verksamhet där det skiftande fokuset realiserades på olika vis på olika nivåer i verksamheten, men gemensamt fanns ett övergripande mål om överlevnad. När marknadsläget gick ifrån att vara stabilt till ostabilt krävdes andra delar ifrån verksamheten där likviditet, kassaflöde och kostnader blev det primära fokuset. Vad som hände med ekonomistyrningen under en kris, inom ett specifikt företag, kunde till viss del även ses i tidigare forskning, men det gjordes fynd som var teoriutvecklande.The purpose of this academic study was to provide insight into how Scandic Hotels Group AB's (Scandic) management accounting was affected at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels by the Corona crisis that took place. Previous studies on management accounting during a crisis highlighted a shifted focus and that planning, control, communication, and information, were affected. The purpose of the study was not to objectify but to generate further understanding of how management accounting, across the three organizational levels, worked in a specific situation to develop theory. Reviewing Scandic's published documents and interviewing seven respondents of the company generated this study. It became clear that Scandic's management accounting adopted a new form based on a changed, mainly short-term, focus on liquidity, cash flow, and costs, as also previous studies described. Previous studies did not explain it to the same degree, but it was evidently at Scandic that the tactical level tended to disappear as the changes differed at the strategic and operational level. The strategic level became more traditional with a higher focus on the financial, while the operational level became more modern and looked primarily to the customer. It was planned in a short-term way to manage cash flow at the strategic level and deal with staffing at the operational level. However, some long-term planning took place at a strategic level to secure the company's finances. Control through comparisons did not occur and what became significant at the strategic level was financial numbers. At the operational level, softer values as customer satisfaction and staff well-being were mainly in focus as these were reputable to be the only ones that could be affected. At the operational level, more freedom for the revenues was given, at the same time as the strategic level emphasized that everything needed to be in a resource-efficient manner. Therefore, an increased cost awareness was intensified, based on the purchase stop, at the operational level. The communication of the information occurred in a "top-down" approach since crucial decisions were made on the strategic level. At this level, more meetings occurred about financial internal information and decisions. Communication at the hotel level became more inclusive as the staff reductions led to the staff needing to be more flexible and, therefore, came closer to each other in their new roles. External information was required throughout the business as it was external factors that mainly directed the market situation. The strategic level needed this to adapt to the market situation, at the same time as the operational level needed the information to control the operations by the current demand. The Corona crisis was an extreme crisis that significantly affected the demand in the hospitality industry. Scandic was characterized by actions of short-term, the shifting focus looked different in different levels, but together there was an overall goal, which was survival. When the market situation went from stable to unstable, other parts were required where liquidity, cash flow, and costs became the primary focus in the organization. What happened to the management accounting during a crisis, in a specific company, could be equated with some previous research, but despite this, findings that contributed to the study becoming theory-developing were made.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the thesis is to discuss the position of China within the "BRICS" economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). China is the strongest member of the group, which is shortly introduced from the economic point of view in comparison to each other. China managed to keep high paces og economic growth even in times of global economic downturn caused by the global financial crisis. Based on it's economic strength, China gains more and more influence in the global economy and international affairs. China is also a dominant member of the grouping. The thesis analyses the position of China within BRICS and in the broader context of the global economy at the same time. It contains a complex analysis of the economic reforms and structural changes, which led to the shift of China's position towards becoming a world economic power. It also contains an analysis of the impacts of the world crises on the group and compares, how the members dealt with it. It also tries to answer the question if the crisis could cause a change in the existing global economic order in favour of China.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to scrutinize the Visegrad Quadruple Initiative as a device of the Central European countries in the process of involving into the re-negotiations in Europe and in world politics. The thesis argues that the Visegrad group was built in order to respond the demands of changing Europe and Euro-Atlantic structures, and thus to overcome the double process of transition and integration. However that was not the only reason to launch the Visegrad regional cooperation. The group produced an affirmative discourse that its members are distinguished from the other countries in transition, so that they are constantly one step forward to &lsquoreturn to Europe&rsquo
. In the aftermath of the eastern enlargements of NATO and the EU alike, the original mission of the group, integration with the West, was achieved. That created a profound discussion about the survival of the group. As it is argued in this thesis, the group, as a prosperous and substantial regional cooperation, should rather continue to work in order to have more words to say in the re-negotiations processes. Another argument of the thesis is that the Visegrad group, taking Benelux group as a model in its continuity, is beneficial to produce a common foreign policy tendency among its members as long as the interests of its members are overlapping, otherwise the group is just being a political platform in which its members can share their views in such areas as regional regulations.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med denna uppsats var att redogöra för det förebyggande arbetet kring hot och våld men också hantering av hot och våld i gymnasieskolan. Därmed användes en kvalitativ intervjustudie med rektorer, lärare samt en kurator som gav svar på följande frågeställningar; hur förebyggdes hot och våld i gymnasieskolan, hur identifierades hot och våld i gymnasieskolan samt hur bemöttes hot och våld i gymnasieskolan. Personalens svar på dessa frågeställningar analyserades utifrån Paulo Freires befrielseteori och därmed gavs en tydligare bild av skolans situation gällande hot och våld. Medvetandegöra-(conscientização) innebar att handlingsplanerna kritiskt reflekterades över som uppdaterades årsvis samt granskning av elevenkäter och medarbetarenkäter. I arbetslaget samtalades och delades erfarenheter som var en del i att hot och våld medvetandegjordes. Förutom i arbetslaget delades olika erfarenheter genom föreläsningar, litteratur och poddar, vilket ökade kunskapen om hot och våld. Eleverna diskuterade värdegrunden, normer och de förtryckta samt förtryckarnas världsbild. Därtill fick elever kännedom om den hjälp som fanns såsom kurator, socialtjänst och utväg om de hamnade i en våldsam eller hotfull situation. Det förebyggande arbetet kring hot och våld sammanfattades i följande strategier: skapandet av en trygg arbetsmiljö samt ökning av elevers och lärares kunskap. Dessutom behövdes både teoretiska och praktiska kunskaper om hur elever och lärare skulle agera vid hotfulla och våldsamma situationer. Olika handlingsplaner tillämpades vid olika hotfulla och våldsamma situationer. Vid övning av inrymning förbereddes lärare och elever hur de skulle agera vid våldsamma och hotfulla situationer. Dessutom behövdes kännedom om vilka aktörer som fanns inom skolan såsom elevhälsoteam, som oftast bestod av kurator, psykolog och skolläkare. Därutöver bestod en krisgrupp av andra professioner såsom pastor, diakon, mentor, präst eller imam. I samhället fanns det vid större katastrofer och olyckor stöd och råd från socialtjänsten och POSOM-gruppen att tillgå. Begrepp: Hot och våld medvetandegjordes, i skola, i nära relationer, i hemmet, barn for illa, elevhälsoteam, Krisgrupp, Socialtjänsten, Polisen, POSOM-gruppenThe purpose of this essay was to account for the preventive work on threats and violence but also the management of threats and violence in high school. Thus, a qualitative interview study was used with principals, teachers and a counselor´s who provided answers to the following questions; how threats and violence were prevented in high school, how threats and violence were indentified in high school and how threats and violence in high school were adressed. The staff´s answers to these questions were analyzed on the basis of Paulo Freire´s liberation theory and thus gave a clearer picture of school´s sitaution regarding threats and violence. Awareness-raising (conscientização) meant that the action plans were critically reflected on, which were updated annually, as well as a review of student surveys and employee surveys. The work team discussed and shared experinces that were part of raising awareness of threats and violence. In addition to the work team, different experiences were shared through lectures, litterature and podcasts, which increased knowledge about threats and violence. The students discussed the values, norms and the world of oppressed and the opressors. In addition, students become aware of the help that was available, such as a counselor, social services and a resort if they ended up in a violent or threatening situation. The preventive work on threats and violence was summarized in the following strategies: the creation of safe working environment and an increase students and teachers knowledge. In addition, both theoretical and practical knowledge was needed about how students and teachers should act in threatening and violent situations. Different action plans were applied in different threatning and violent situations. When practicing accomodation, teachers and students were prepared to act in violent and threatening situations. In addition, knowledge was needed about which actors were present within the school, such as student health teams, which usually consisted of a counselors, psychologists and school doctor. In addition, a crisis group consisted of other professions such as pastor, deacon, mentor, priest or imam. In the event of major disasters and accidents, support and advice from the social services and the POSOM group were availible. Concepts: Threats and violence were made aware, in school, close relationships, at home, children got hurt, student health team, Crisis-group, Social services, Police, POSOM group

Full textAbstract:
Engagée en Afghanistan depuis plus de dix ans, l'intervention internationale a fondé son argumentaire sur la reconstruction d'institutions à modèle démocratique, selon des concepts généralisés en Occident depuis le 18ème siècle et parmi eux le principe d'égalité. Ce modèle avait présidé aux évolutions socio-politiques voulues par les Emirs tout au long du 20ème siècle, mais abouti au chaos dans trois décennies d'un conflit en cours depuis les années 1970 avec des adversaires toujours renouvelés. Tribalisme et modernité - en tant qu'idéologie, dans leurs manifestations en Afghanistan, mettent en oeuvre la prévalence d'un mode social d'opposition, dont la domination sur une société provoque la parcellisation ou la destruction et répond aux revendications d'égalité par l'honneur des groupes. Leur conséquence est le traditionalisme prégnant dans les communautés, contraintes par le sentiment d'insécurité à l'uniformisation dans l'égale insignifiance de l'individu. Cependant, l'hospitalité et la recherche de réparation sont des normes sociales visant au dépassement du sentiment d'insécurité ; elles sont la réponse afghane à la recherche d'égale dignité au bénéfice de tous. Pour peu que les conditions de sécurité en permettent la primauté comme mode social dominant, l'honneur d'être humain est le composant fondamental d'une société ouverte et évolutive. L'emphase sécuritaire et dogmatique des programmes internationaux tend néanmoins à conforter les réflexes tribalo-traditionalistes, dans un engrenage de violence qui recherche un équilibre des groupes plutôt que l'expression d'initiatives créatives et originales - comme la mise en place de systèmes de solidarité universels qui libèreraient les individus de leurs allégeances aux groupes. Seuls de tels maximins pourraient dépasser les blocages inégalitaires inscrits dans la position géo-stratégique du pays sur une faille du système-monde.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines a range of South African speculative novels which situate their narratives in futuristic or ‘alternative’ milieus, exploring how these narratives not only address identity formation in a deeply divided and rapidly changing society, but also the ways in which human beings place themselves in relation to Nature and form notions of ‘ecological’ belonging. It offers close readings of these speculative narratives in order to investigate the ways in which they evince concerns which are rooted in the natural, social and political landscapes which inform them. Specific attention is paid to the texts’ treatment of the intertwined issues of identity, belonging and ecological crisis. This dissertation draws on the fields of Ecocriticism, Postcolonial Studies and Science Fiction Studies, and assumes a culturally specific approach to primary texts while investigating possible cross-cultural commonalities between Afrikaans and English speculative narratives, as well as the cross-fertilisation of global SF/speculative features. It is suggested that South African speculative fiction presents a socio-historically situated, rhizomatic approach to ecology – one that is attuned to the tension between humanistic- and ecological concerns.

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche en psychologie clinique porte sur les jeunes de Mayotte dans l’objectif de mieux les connaître, de mieux les comprendre dans leur fonctionnement psychologique au regard de leur contexte socioculturel. Elle est issue d’une observation clinique faite à Mayotte d’abord en tant que psychologue clinicienne puis doctorante en psychologie auprès des associations œuvrant pour la jeunesse et à l'hôpital de Mamoudzou. Mayotte est l’île française de l’archipel des Comores, devenue le 101ème département français en 2011 sous la présidence de Nicols Sarkozy. Elle fait partie de ces territoires français d’Outre-mer où la confrontation de la tradition et de la modernité ainsi que les questions de perte de repères et de crise identitaire sont encore d’actualité. Dans cette thèse, nous nous sommes intéressée à la santé mentale de la jeunesse mahoraise et avons tenté de comprendre l’organisation du fonctionnement sociétal de l’île ainsi que les facteurs qui favorisent la sublimation chez les jeunes. En effet, ces jeunes sont nombreux à s’interroger dans une société mahoraise où le dévoilement de soi reste tabou et les émotions, plus précisément les difficultés psychiques sont étouffées. Il n’est pas coutume de parler de ce qui ne va pas, de ce qui fait mal, des violences que l’on subit, ni de leur impact psychologique. Ces maux passés sous silence sont parfois et souvent banalisés et créent des souffrances psychiques inimaginables. Dans ce contexte particulier, on s’est demandé comment les jeunes mahorais s'organisent pour surmonter leurs difficultés et leurs souffrances psychologiques. Et cela nous a conduit à soulever plusieurs questions. Quels sont les mécanismes de défense qu’ils emploient pour appréhender leur réalité insoutenable ? Quelles sont les stratégies qu’ils utilisent pour s’adapter à leur réalité ? Quels sont les moyens qu'ils déploient pour éviter un effondrement psychique ? Pour tenter de répondre à toutes ces questions, nous avons mené des enquêtes auprès des jeunes âgés de 18 à 35 ans, rencontrés en entretiens cliniques, à qui nous avons soumis des questionnaires en ligne, des échelles d’évaluation psychologique et d'un test de personnalité (MMPI-2-RF) et ce, afin de recueillir le maximum d'informations. Les jeunes mahorais ont été nombreux à participer à nos enquêtes, autant des étudiants que de jeunes diplômés et salariés. Nous avons sélectionné dix jeunes, hommes et femmes, pour illustrer nos études de cas. Les résultats de cette recherche doctorale nous renseignent beaucoup sur le fonctionnement de la société mahoraise d’aujourd’hui et surtout sur la santé mentale de ses jeunes. On y apprend par exemple que la matrilinéarité fait la spécificité de Mayotte et le rôle que joue la femme, en particulier la mère, dans l’éducation de ses enfants est très important dans le processus de développement psychique de ces derniers. En effet, la mère contribue à la stabilité émotionnelle et psychique des jeunes rencontrés et ayant participé à cette recherche. Cette observation soulève inéluctablement la question de la place et du rôle du père dans la vie des jeunes mahorais. Elle interroge également les effets de cette absence de la figure paternelle et ses répercussions sur la construction identitaire des jeunes mahorais.Tiraillés entre tradition et modernité, souffrant de perte de repères identitaires et culturels, certains jeunes mahorais arrivent quand même à se sublimer tandis que d’autres s’effondrent et développent des troubles psychiatriques qui peuvent, dans des cas extrêmes, conduire au passage à l’acte. Cette thèse se propose de réfléchir et d’analyser les processus qui conduisent à des parcours si différentsThis research in clinical psychology focuses on the young people of Mayotte with the aim of getting to know them better, to better understand their psychological functioning in relation to their socio-cultural context. It is the result of a clinical observation made in Mayotte, first as a clinical psychologist and then as a doctoral student in psychology at youth associations and at the Mamoudzou hospital. Mayotte is the French island of the Comoros archipelago, which became the 101st French department in 2011 under the presidency of Nicolas Sarkozy. It is one of those French overseas territories where the confrontation between tradition and modernity as well as the issues of loss of reference points and identity crisis are still topical. In this thesis, we looked at the mental health of the youth of Mahoras and tried to understand the organization of the island's societal functioning as well as the factors that promote sublimation among young people. Indeed, these young people are many to question themselves in a Mahoran society where self-unveiling remains taboo and emotions, more precisely psychic difficulties are stifled. It is not customary to talk about what is wrong, what hurts, about the violence that one undergoes, nor about its psychological impact. These evils passed under silence are sometimes and often trivialized and create unimaginable psychic sufferings. In this particular context, the question has been raised as to how young Mahorais organise themselves to overcome their psychological difficulties and suffering. And this has led us to raise several questions. What defence mechanisms do they use to deal with their unbearable reality ? What strategies do they use to adapt to their reality? What means do they deploy to avoid psychological collapse ? In an attempt to answer all these questions, we conducted surveys among young people aged 18 to 35 years, interviewed in clinical interviews, to whom we submitted online questionnaires, psychological evaluation scales and a personality test (MMPI-2-RF) in order to gather as much information as possible. A large number of young Mahorais participated in our surveys, both students and young graduates and employees. We selected ten young men and women to illustrate our case studies.The results of this doctoral research tell us a lot about how Mahoran society functions today and especially about the mental health of its young people. We learn, for example, that matrilineality is a specific feature of Mayotte and the role played by women, especially mothers, in the education of their children is very important in the process of their psychological development. Indeed, the mother contributes to the emotional and psychological stability of the young people met and who participated in this research. This observation inevitably raises the question of the place and role of the father in the lives of young Mahorais. It also questions the effects of this absence of the paternal figure and its repercussions on the construction of identity of young Mahorais.Torn between tradition and modernity, suffering from a loss of identity and cultural references, some young Mahorais still manage to sublimate themselves, while others collapse and develop psychiatric disorders which can, in extreme cases, lead to the act of acting. This thesis proposes to reflect on and analyse the processes that lead to such different paths

El propósito de esta investigación es reconstruir y problematizar los diferentes significados que los ciudadanos elaboran respecto a la crisis hídrica de la ciudad de Copiapó. Para esto, se analizó lo que dicen y hacen las personas respecto a este problema ambiental, se reflexionó sobre los impactos sociales del mismo y cómo aquellas prácticas sociales contribuyen tanto al cambio como a la mantención de esta situación. Al mismo tiempo, se indagó en cómo este contexto ambiental adverso incide en la construcción identitaria y en las relaciones de poder.
Copiapó, capital de la región de Atacama, tiene un clima desértico. Sin embargo, históricamente ha contado con el agua suficiente para mantener una población creciente y las diversas actividades económicas. No obstante, la situación ha sufrido un importante cambio en las últimas décadas, debido a un acelerado crecimiento urbano e industrial que no ha ido de la mano de una correcta planificación, proyección social y medio ambiental, generándose una actual y notoria carencia de agua. La ciudad, desde hace aproximadamente 20 años, viene sufriendo lo que se ha denominado una “crisis hídrica” que afecta y enfrenta a diferentes sectores sociales y económicos, en competencia por el recurso natural.
El procedimiento metodológico utilizado consistió en una aproximación etnográfica en la que se triangularon diversas técnicas de producción de datos: análisis documental, observación participante y entrevistas en profundidad. Se revisó la prensa local, se contactó a actores relevantes del contexto y se procedió a observar y analizar distintas prácticas sociales asociadas al uso del agua. Asimismo, para poder dilucidar algunas controversias en relación al tema de estudio, se revisó el Código de Aguas chileno y su actual reforma.
Los diferentes tipos de datos fueron analizados en su conjunto según el esquema metodológico propuesto por la teoría fundamentada y, posteriormente, mediante el análisis de discurso se analizaron los repertorios interpretativos de las entrevistas. El primer análisis permitió comprender los principales significados que se construyen alrededor del problema hídrico; mientras el segundo, permitió contextualizar el uso de estos significados alrededor de repertorios con distintas funciones. Este procedimiento analítico favoreció la validación intersubjetiva entre las técnicas de análisis.
Los resultados de este estudio dan cuenta de cómo un problema ambiental es vivenciado de manera distinta por los habitantes de la ciudad, según su posicionamiento discursivo y social, condicionando las prácticas sociales y los significados elaborados en torno al mismo. Además, los resultados permiten comprender cómo la escasez hídrica viene modelando la identidad de los ciudadanos, por ejemplo asociada, entre otras cosas, a la pérdida.
A partir de estos hallazgos se elaboró un modelo teórico interpretativo que explica cómo las relaciones de poder de ciertas estructuras sociales construyen discursos respecto a la problemática para no perder el capital simbólico que poseen. Los discursos entran en diálogo con la agencia y los poderes de las personas, quienes construyen sus identidades y las distintas versiones del problema ambiental desde la adaptación hasta la abyección de estos discursos.The purpose of this research is to reconstruct and make an issue of the different meanings that the citizens elaborate regarding the water crisis in the city of Copiapó, in the north of Chile. For this reason, what people say and do about this environmental problem was analyzed, reflecting on its social impacts and how these social practices contribute both to changes and to the maintenance of this situation. At the same time, how this adverse environmental context affects the construction of identity and relationships of power was investigated. Copiapó, capital of the Atacama region, has desert climate. Nevertheless, historically it has had enough water to maintain a growing population and various economic activities. However, the situation has undergone a significant change in the last decades, due to an accelerated urban and industrial growth that has not had a correct city planning, social and environmental projection, generating a current and notorious lack of water. The city, for approximately 20 years, has been suffering what has been called a "water crisis" that affects and confronts different social and economic sectors, in competition with natural resources. The methodological procedure used consisted of an ethnographic approach in which several techniques of data production were triangulated: documentary analysis, participant observation and in-depth interviews. The local press was reviewed, relevant actors from the context were contacted and different social practices associated with water use were observed and analyzed. Likewise, in order to elucidate some controversies regarding the subject of study, the Chilean Water Code and its current reform were reviewed. The different types of data were analyzed as a whole according to the methodological scheme proposed by the grounded theory, and later, with the discourse analysis the interpretive repertoires of the interviews were examined. The first analysis made it possible to understand the main meanings that are built around the water problem; while the second one, helped to contextualize the use of these meanings around repertoires with different functions. This analytical procedure favored an "intersubjective validation" between analysis techniques. The results of this study show how an environmental problem is differently experienced by the inhabitants of the city, according to their discursive and social positioning, conditioning social practices and the meanings elaborated around it. In addition, the results allow understanding how water scarcity shapes the identity of citizens, for example related, among other things, with loss. Based on these findings, an interpretative theoretical model was developed; that explains how the power relations of certain social structures construct discourses regarding the issue not to lose the symbolic capital they possess. These discourses enter into dialoguewith (interact) the agency and the powers of the people; that construct their identities and different versions of the environmental problem from the adaptation to the abjection of these discourses.

This work is set around three empirical papers concerned with the political foundations and consequences of trust among people. The first one addresses the question of how trust evolves and whether this is shaped by life-events related to economic shocks vis-à-vis experiences related to the individual engagement in civic life and to the institutional environment. The second paper turns the attention to the characteristics of the partner involved in the interaction investigating how intergroup political conflicts affect social cooperation and trust. This allows assessing whether heuristics about political group membership and identities shape the individual trust radius. The third paper considers, instead, the consequences of trust addressing whether it favors involvement in unconventional political participation, a still understudied relationship. This is done also accounting for other selective and collective incentives. Overall, this thesis offers a novel approach and new evidences on both political origins and implications of trust among people.Este trabajo de tesis consta de tres artículos empíricos sobre las orígenes y las consecuencias políticas de confianza social. El primer articulo se propone investigar la cuestión esencial de cómo se forma confianza social y si esta es el resultado de shocks económicos, frente a experiencias relacionadas con la participación en la vida cívica o el contexto institucional. El segundo articulo se centra en la interacción de confianza entre individuos investigando cómo los conflictos políticos entre grupos afectan la confianza y la cooperación entre individuos. Esto nos permite evaluar si los individuos emplean heurísticos cognitivos e identidades sociales y políticas y si estos afectan al perímetro de la confianza social. En fin, el tercer articulo estudia las consecuencias políticas de confianza social analizando como esta influye en la participación política en formas no convencionales de protesta, en el marco de una teoría de los incentivos selectivos y colectivos, una discusión que sigue abierta en la literatura científica. En general, este trabajo de tesis se propone ofrecer nuevas evidencias empíricas sobre las orígenes y las implicaciones de la confianza social entre personas a través de soluciones metodológicas innovadoras.

Melamine poisoned milk crisis was the first disaster caused by raw material contamination in Taiwanese food crisis history. During the crisis, the manufacturer, King Car company, showed their determination and sincerity by cooperating with the government, media and Consumers' Foundation to eliminate consumers' worries. If we focus only on the company itself and the crisis management theory, King Car's crisis management procedure might be a well done case. However, the damage caused by this crisis was huge and cannot be recovered. Instead of repeating the same mistake and trying to fix it properly later, preventing crisis from happen again should be the ultimate goal of crisis management. Will melamine contamination happen again in future? As free trading and globalization become more popular, there is great chance for human society to face the same food safely issue again. How should companies manage the crisis if it occurs again? King Car company used cash to compensate the victims during the crisis, however it did not come up with a mechanism to prevent future raw material contamination. Instead of focusing on food regulation or public health policies, this study used industry crisis management framework to analyse King Car's poisoned milk crisis management by reviewing related regulations, crisis management literature and information provided by media analysis. The crisis was divided into several different stages, and key factors of each stage were defined according to crisis management scholars' analysis. The aim of this study is to discuss the relationship between King Car crisis management stages, strategies and effectiveness, to provide suggestions for future crisis management in drink raw material supply chain and to serve as a reference for the government and companies if similar issue happen again in future.

SARS is the first disaster human faced in 21st century that is caused by epidemic. From March of 2003 to July of 2003, Taiwan was also under the attack of this SARS epidemic. During that period of time, people were very anxious and most of the corporations had to halt the majority of their unnecessary activities. The economics exhibited a significant depression because of that, and some companies had had to claim bankruptcy for the sake of the impact from this SARS crisis. The influence of this SARS crisis is far beyond people/government’s anticipation. Due to the rapid human development into nature environment and the influence from the inevitable globalization, SARS certainly is the first but probably will not be the last epidemic catastrophe human are going to deal with in the future. How should a corporation do in case of a crisis like SARS? There have been many reports and literatures documented regarding to the management of the traditional crisis. Nevertheless, there are only a few of them providing information regarding to how to handle or cope with crisis caused by epidemics. Therefore, it intrigued me to start this research. In late March of 2003, unfortunately several employees of one of the prominent domestic engineering corp. CTCI were infected by SARS, which made it the first corporation under the attack by SARS epidemic. This thus triggered the onset of Taiwan’s war against this deadly infectious disease. In this instance, CTCI successfully neutralized the SARS threat through utilizing its intra-corporation resources along with the supports from government and general public. This has become one of the few examples among the corporations in Taiwan, therefore it provided a real subject for my study of the epidemical crisis management. This study isn’t aimed to analyze the SARS crisis from views of public health or medical treatment. It is aimed to first collect literatures of crisis management, professional information from Taiwan’s public health and medical organizations, information of SARS crisis in Taiwan, and information of SARA crisis management in CTCI…etc, and then to analyze the SARA crisis management in corporations and to point out the critical factors in order to provide a better suggestion/procedure to governments and corporations to manage epidemic crisis in the future.

Abstract China Steel Corporation (CSC) was established in 1971. As all employees having been toiling together, has gradually forged itself as an affirmed enterprise group. During the late 1980s, the increasing civil awareness of environmental protection has caused mass and continuous violent protests. In view of this, CSC, a state-owned company then, abided by the Government policy to strengthen good relations with communities, established communication channels with the Legislative Yuan, the congress in Taiwan, and the media, so as to reinforce the communication with the stakeholders and improve crisis management effectiveness. In April 1988, CSC’s Public Relations Office was established to promote public relations-related activities. It was renamed as Public Affairs Office after the privatization of CSC in 1995. During this evolutional process of environmental civil rights the author was fortunate enough to grow up together with CSC, and participated in many cases of crisis management. Experience shows that the first priority of crisis management is crisis prevention, and the highest level of crisis management is to transform the crisis into opportunity. Otherwise, a corporate will pay a significant price, and compromise its image. Realizing the importance of crisis prevention and management to a corporate, the author selects this issue as a research subject. This study is based on the process of crisis management proposed by Mitroff & Pearson as the main theoretical framework. The five stages proposed include (a) signal detection, (b) probing and prevention, (c) damage containment, (d) recovery, (e) learning. This study adopts the case analysis and depth interviews as research method, supplemented by literature review in order to verify both the practice and theory to be coherent and consistent. Two cases, foreign labor event of K Corporation and fire accident of C Corporation are studied by depth interviews with experts in crisis management of CSC Group. In addition, this study particularly strengthens the design of the interview to make the research more complete and satisfactory. This study selects the people with practical experience in these events as the interviewee. Through depth interviews, this study tries to present a more objective view of these events from the aspects of scope, depth. From the case study, it is found that most companies neglect the concept of crisis prevention, however, pay much attention to handling the crises instead. As a result, these companies have to pay more cost and price for their ignorance of crisis prevention. Study also found that over the past twenty years, there were several occurrences of crises in CSC Group companies. Substantial compensation has never been the case occurred. However, C Corporation was obliged to compensate as the company’s event of fire, which brings the CSC Group serious sequela and potential crisis, and as a result, increases the difficulties of crisis management. This study tries to provide some recommendations that would be helpful for CSC Group and other businesses for their reference and in establishing systems of crisis prevention and crisis management.

Crisis management is a critical element in the external relations of enterprise organizations. If an organization cannot deal with crises with caution, damage to its properties and reputations may be caused. This research is focused how the King Car Group dealt with the melamine tainted milk crisis which caused widespread public panic in Taiwan. The research explores the process and experience of its crisis management, and the formulation of its communications strategy, as well as how the King Car Group identified different phases of the crisis with thorough planning and management viewpoint to construct a comprehensive management pattern to resolve the crisis and thus achieved crisis communications. Qualitative interview and content analysis are adopted as the research methods to examine the strategy and effect of an organization’s crisis management in the face of crisis. To evaluate the external communication strategy adopted by the King Car Group in the face of tainted milk crisis and to verify whether its image repair was successful, I applied the crisis communications strategy designed by scholars like Huang(2005) to help enterprises deal with crises. The following are the results. The King Car Group received positive media coverage. It was well-informed of the media source. It created a quick and positive response to this incident, taking the initiative to issue a statement to admit its mistakes and apologized to its consumers. Communication between internal and external divisions of the organization must take place in the wake of a crisis. The structure of an enterprise organization is crucial in reflecting its crisis management ability. The repacking and release of its corrected products was dissatisfactory.
