Abstract:

Jag har i mitt projekt jobbat med mönsterformgivning och produktion av vävda möbeltyger, digitaltryckta tapeter- och textilier för en fiktiv hemmiljö. Mina designbeslut grundar sig på en fiktiv karaktär, Mr Chester Jester, hans estetiska preferenser och behov i samrådan med mina egna. Arbetets resultat är en gestaltning av världen han lever i, komprimerad till ett hemma hos reportage på gränsen mellan verklighet och illusion. Jag har jobbat med dubbelhet och speglingar - av mönster, av rummet, av tekniker och mig själv. Jag har undersökt illusionens verklighet och verklighetens illusion.My bachelor project is a work of pattern design and production of woven upholstery fabrics, digital prints on textile materials and wallpaper, made for a fictional home environment. The desicions for the designs are based on a fictional character, named Mr Chester Jester. His preferences and needs combined with my omn are the result of this project. The outcome of the work is a formation of his world, made into a study of his home on the edge of reality and illusions. It is a work of duplicities -of pattern, room, technique and of an alternate side of myself.I have investigated the illusion of reality, and the reality of illusions.

Abstract:

The social meaning of television news has been under transformation since the successes of cable news in the final years of the previous century. In their attempts to preserve viewership and to remain relevant, traditional broadcast news outlets increasingly emulate the conventions of cable news. Instead of retaining audiences, the result has been declining news content and a continued loss of viewers. Amid these industry transformations, the concept of “journalist” continues to undergo change. This evolution of the news allows for a decidedly unique response to news programming in The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. Though advertised as a half-hour comedy show, it has established itself as a consistent re-teller and producer of news, only possible in a postmodern era of journalism after objectivity. Amid the industry’s shift in priorities from objectivity and reporting to influencing, framing and re-telling the news, The Daily Show is considered as much an example of journalism as many of the shows currently in the news sphere. Although our society is currently saturated with information, this information often fails to penetrate the surface of the issues covered. Too much information is as paralytic as ignorance. Recently, attention has shifted towards a re-evaluation of television news into something that will both help the public find the information they are searching for and give them the tools to make sense of and utilize that information. This concept of journalism as tool is present in every episode of The Daily Show. The show encourages viewers to peel away the layers of mediation of traditional newscasts, to recognize substance and the lack thereof, and become active consumers of information rather than passive receptacles submersed in irrelevant information. The Daily Show proves that a news show can inform, entertain and teach audiences how to critically process television as an informational medium.

Full text

Abstract:

In 1792, the inventor and illusionist Paul Philidor unveiled the ‘Phantasmagoria’ to the people of Paris. Coined by combining the Greek words ‘phantasma’ (appearance, vision, ghost) and ‘agora’ (assembly), Philidor had intended the name to suggest a vast crowd of the undead, a riotous carnival of phantoms. He promised his audience that, using the projections of a magic lantern and other ingenious mechanical devices, he would show them the illusory shapes of ghosts and monsters, reunite lovers separated by death, and call fiends out of hell. However, this exhibition of illusory spectres was to become something far more than a mere footnote in the history of Romantic popular entertainment. The Phantasmagoria was to assume a metaphorical function in the mindscape of the period; this cavalcade of spectres was to come to serve as an image for not only the fantastic terrors of dreams and hallucinations, but also for the unbounded creative power of the imagination. Besides this, the metaphor of the phantasmagoria was to subsume into itself an idea which had its origin in the ‘Curiosity Culture’ of the previous century: the curious collection. As time wore on, this Curious – or Phantasmagorical – collection became a symbol by which writers of the late Nineteenth Century could signal their resistance to bourgeois conformity and their own paradoxical celebration and rejection of consumer culture. This work examines the evolution of the Phantasmagoria metaphor as well as the development of its associated aesthetic: the aesthetic of the curious collection – the collection of weird and fabulous objects that astonishes the senses and confuses the mind, erasing the boundaries between reality and fantasy.

Schapansky, Kevin Samuel. "Jester: A Device Abstraction and Data Fusion API for Skeletal Tracking." DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2014. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/1245.

Full text

Abstract:

Humans naturally interact with the world in three dimensions. Traditionally, personal computers have relied on 2D mice for input because 3D user tracking systems were cumbersome and expensive. Recently, 3D input hardware has become accurate and affordable enough to be marketed to average consumers and integrated into niche applications. Presently, 3D application developers must learn a different API for each device their software will support, and there is no simple way to integrate sensor data if the system has multiple 3D input devices. This thesis presents Jester, a library designed to simplify the development and improve the accuracy of 3D input-supported applications by providing an easily-extensible set of sensor wrappers that abstract the hardware specific details of capturing skeletal data and fusing sensor data in multiple 3D input device systems. Jester's capabilities are demonstrated by creating a toy application that uses a PrimeSense Carmine and Leap Motion Controller to provide full body and finger skeletal tracking. Jester was able to fuse the data in real time while using the Carmine's data to compensate for ambiguity in the Leap's tracking.

Abstract:

This conceptual article proposes the establishing of the position of a corporate jester to support organizational change processes. The article focuses on the inevitable transformations companies have to go through, given the diversification and pluralization of the workforce. The corporate jester theoretically is framed as part of an organizational "comical artifact staging", that by utilizing humor as an element of organizational change, experiences more openness and less resistance than more educative tools.

Mironenko, Dmitry. "A Jester with Chameleon Faces: Laughter and Comedy in North Korea, 1953-1969." Thesis, Harvard University, 2014. http://dissertations.umi.com/gsas.harvard:11604.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation is a study of ordinary North Korean people who have persevered in the face of tremendous social, political, and economic trials throughout their country's modern history and a tribute to their unflagging ingenuity and good humor that allowed them to hold onto their humanity. Focusing on the question of agency within the realm of everyday living, my inquiry examines the emergence of a laughing subject during the post-Korean War period and the state's efforts to discipline him through cinema in the succeeding decade. A product of the new Soviet-sponsored cultural policy of the 1950s that promoted social and political satire across the socialist world, the jester became an identity tactically adopted by various individuals, which was responsible for the proliferation of nonconformist practices in North Korea. Using Michel de Certeau's concept of the everyday as a sphere of creative inventiveness, this work describes and analyzes the small acts of "comic disobedience" by means of which the ordinary person has been able to outmaneuver the existing order and create a thriving underground culture of antidiscipline. Spanning a variety of media from print cartoons to live-action cinema to animation, the official response to the jester's challenge, on one hand, sought to create identifiable comic characters and, on the other, effectively demarcate between humor and satire with a view of turning a jarring cacophony of laughing voices into a harmonious chorus of collective mirth serving the state's needs. Based on Bakhtin's notion of heteroglossia, my method of analysis suggests that, despite the government's attempts to eliminate any ambiguity from newly constructed ideological texts, the ordinary individual always finds myriad ways to exercise autonomy through his unending playful subversion of official discourse. By tracing the evolution of this dynamic in the North Korean streets, movie theaters, and film studios over the course of nearly two decades, I argue that the production of formal film comedy was inextricably bound up with the state's desire to interpellate a politically loyal and socially conformist subject and should be seen as part of the larger everyday aesthetic of living that took root within the socialist world.

Poesia e humor são duas possibilidades distintas de se deslocar as palavras e produzir um efeito estético. Historicamente, o recurso do riso esteve presente de diversas formas nos modelos de criação poética. A sublimação poética, na literatura brasileira, lançou mão da irreverência em diferentes contextos sociais e culturais, seja para um ataque mordaz a indivíduos ou instituições, seja para se construir um projeto de modernização das letras, seja para estimular o questionamento das verdades estabelecidas. Busca-se aqui investigar essas possibilidades de diálogos entre poesia e humor em três episódios diferentes da literatura brasileira: na poesia satírica de Emílio de Menezes, cujos sonetos se converteram em armas afiadas; na presença do humor como recurso presente no Modernismo, especialmente na obra de autores como Oswald de Andrade e no trabalho do Barão de Itararé; e na lucidez provocativa de Millôr Fernandes, artista que observou criticamente por meio do humor as transformações sociais ocorridas no século XX.
Poetry and humor are two distinctive methods by which words can be manipulated in order to produce an aesthetic effect. Historically, the use of laughter was present in various ways in models of poetic creation. The act of poetic sublimation in Brazilian literature used irreverence in different social and cultural contexts. Whether this sublimation was used for a scathing attack on individuals or institutions or to modernize Brazilian literature, the act encouraged the questioning of established truths. We seek to investigate these possibilities for dialogue between poetry and humor into three different episodes of Brazilian literature: the satirical poetry of Emilio de Menezes, whose sonnets were used as sharp weapons; the presence of humor in Modernism, especially in the work of authors such as Oswald de Andrade and Barão de Itararé; and the provocative lucidity of Millôr Fernandes, an artist who critically observed with humor the social changes of the twentieth century.

Abstract:

Lo sviluppo tecnologico, negli anni, ha affiancato il progresso dei metodi di raccolta delle opinioni: si è raggiunta la diffusione cartacea partendo dalla comunicazione orale, fino alla digitalizzazione e informatizzazione del processo attraverso l’introduzione di internet. Lo scopo di questo studio è la creazione di un modulo da integrare nel gestionale Jester, per il lato back-end, e nel CMS Doko, per quello front-end. L'idea di questo progetto nasce dalla volontà di fornire all'utente un configuratore per la creazione di sondaggi a scopo pubblicitario e/o di profilazione, nel rispetto del GDPR, e di associare delle promozioni per i clienti che rispondono. Jester è un software gestionale web, sviluppato dall'azienda Librasoft Snc. Al contempo, Doko è il CMS su cui vengono sviluppati i siti e gli e-commerce per i clienti. La prima fase di lavoro si è focalizzata molto sull'analisi dei moduli già presenti all'interno del sistema per capirne le funzionalità e caratteristiche a livello di database. Successivamente si è passati alla fase di progettazione vera e propria facendo uso di diagrammi ER e si è arrivati alla determinazione di nuove entità necessarie al funzionamento del nuovo sistema. Si è poi passati alla scelta del linguaggio di scripting e questa è ricaduta su PHP. Inoltre è importante sottolineare che avendo fatto uso del framework CakePHP, è stato possibile clonare lo scheletro del gestionale aziendale Jesterjest da cui è stato fatto utilizzo dei moduli esistenti, quali: Utenti, Clienti e Sconti. Per quanto riguarda tutto il lavoro da me svolto, questo è racchiuso nel plug-in SurveyLottery, creato ad-hoc per questo progetto.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Professor Peter Steele S.J. cuts a fascinating figure both in contemporary scholarship and poetic achievement. His work extends over a vast range of genre from poetry to criticism, public address and intellectual journalism. Some of his huge literary output is published, some of it awaits publication, and much of it is either uncollected or held in archival situations. Steele is a writer who matters today not only by virtue of his leading a distinguished academic career, and being a widely published poet, but also because for some two decades he has been a focal figure in the Society of Jesus in Australia and New Zealand and has had extensive experience as he would say 'plying his priesthood' in various British and American Jesuit institutions. This has resulted in a large volume of mostly unpublished writings ranging from prayers, liturgies and reflections to homilies for private and public occasions. The challenge of addressing Steele�'s literary achievement lies in the fact that his spiritual insights form the basis of his poetic, academic, and ethical imagination. This thesis has attempted to identify the core nature of these insights and to trace the way in which they ramify into the world of people, events, and art, especially literature. The basic issue concerns the principle of radiance, how it finds expression through Steele�s major motifs or figures of Jester, Pilgrim Expatriate, Celebrant and Word or Witness, and how this principal operates as the unifying basis of his thought. The thesis tries to investigate this unifying vision within the subtle diversity of the many ways Steele encounters the modern world. In identifying Steele�s structure of thought as a radiant entity focused on the theocentre of God and emanating to the Incarnate God, to the writers of the gospels and epistles, to St. Ignatius, to St. Edmund Campion and to all people especially artists, it has been necessary to shape each chapter in a roughly parallel manner and to organise it according to these stratafications. Each chapter places the individual motif within Steele�'s individual and Ignatian milieux, and examines the function of the particular figure or motif under investigation. Each chapter will then trace the figure (Fool, Pilgrim / Expatriate, Celebrant or Word Witness), as Steele sees it manifest in God, in Christ, in the scriptures, and as he understands it imparted to Campion, to Ignatius as he writes the Spiritual Exercises and to writers (and readers) of literature. Each chapter also has variations appropriate to its subject matter and medium so that for instance the chapter treating Steele�s Pilgrim figure will consider his treatment of it in both p oetics and homiletics and that treating the Word or Witness will predominantly relate to that figure to his critical appraisal of Peter Porter�s p oetry and the organisation of the latter will break from the established pattern of organisation in several major ways. This thesis offers a study of a rich Australian talent operating intellectually, academically, imaginatively and spiritually. If one were to seek to place Steele amongst similarly minded writers one would have to locate him in the community of writers recognised for their classical and contemporary sophistication, writers such as Peter Porter, Seamus Heaney, Joseph Brodsky, Derek Walcott and Anthony Hecht. In this sense Steele is international rather than Australian in his emphasis; but being a true international he also includes Australia in his thinking.

Abstract:

Le slasher est un sous-genre du film d'horreur reposant sur une figure de tueur masqué punissant en apparence la sexualité adolescente. Très populaire auprès du public adolescent de 1978 à 1984, il serait, selon de nombreux critiques, une expression de sadisme « gratuit ». Cependant, toute production culturelle possède une légitimité qui peut lui être conférée en trouvant une clé de lecture adéquate. Cette clé est selon-nous un archétype culturel que nous nommons foolkiller, et qui figure une victime marginale sanctionnant les actes irresponsables mettant en danger les membres les plus faibles de la communauté. Cet archétype convoque l'imaginaire médiéval du charivari, un rite de justice folklorique punissant les manquements à la morale. Pour parvenir à cette référence, il est nécessaire de montrer que le slasher a masqué un genre plus large qui gravite autour d'une victime humiliée se vengeant de ses persécuteurs et qui inclue des films comme Willard (1971), Carrie (1976), ou encore Fade to Black (1980). Or, on peut trouver une formulation prototypique de cette histoire dans Hop-Frog (1849), une nouvelle d'Edgar Poe racontant la vengeance d'un bouffon difforme persécuté par un roi sadique. Nous envisageons cette nouvelle comme un artefact prototypique de l'archétype culturel du foolkiller dont le genre masqué par le slasher est une expression contemporaine. L'étude de cette nouvelle et de ses références culturelles permet de comprendre le fonctionnement de l'archétype et son apparition en réponse à une crise sacrificielle au sens où l'entend René Girard. Une crise du même genre est repérable dans la culture américaine des années 1970, ce qui explique la résurgence de l'archétype à cette période
The slasher movie is a horror film sub-genre featuring a masked killer supposedly punishing teenage sexuality. Extremely popular among teens from 1978 to 1984, it is generally discarded by serious critics as a spectacle of gratuitous violence. However, the genre can be granted some legitimacy once it is seen as a contemporary form of a cultural archetype which we call "foolkiller". This archetype revolves around a freak avenging its own humiliation at the hands of bullies and punishing irresponsible acts endangering the weakest people in a community. Culturally speaking, this archetype has roots in the medieval practice of "rough music", a masked demonstration organized to humiliate some wrongdoer and to punish moral transgressions in the community. In order to access this cultural reference, it is necessary to show that the attention given the slasher film has concealed the existence of another genre, comprising slasher films but also movies such as Willard (1971), Carrie (1976), and Fade to Black (1980), whose protagonist is a victim avenging its persecution. This plot can also be found in "Hop-Frog", a short-story written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1849. It tells the story of a jester dwarf bullied by a cruel king. We argue that this tale is a prototypical artifact of the foolkiller archetype, which also informs the genre concealed by the slasher film. The cultural frame of this short story enables us to understand how the archetype functions and its relationship to what René Girard calls a "sacrificial crisis". Such a crisis is at work within 1970's American culture, which explains why the archetype reappears during this time.The slasher movie is a horror film sub-genre featuring a masked killer supposedly punishing teenage sexuality.

Abstract:

In my paper I adress the question of what happens in the relationship between the beholder, the artwork and the artist when they meet in the era of Web 2.0. The new smartphone based medium that I write about is Instagram. The artist i write about is the Swedish illustrator Jesper Waldersten. My purpose with this paper was to explore how the the beholder, pictures and artist relate to one another i relation to Instagram and how the interface of the smartphone and the app affect the beholder in these relationships. I also seek out to understand the difference between how Instagrams interface affect the beholder in comparison to the interface of the artists web page and his book. I use the method of qualitative empiricism to study Walderstens account. I do this study by counting number of pictures, comments, changes, descriptions and overall alterations over a set period of time. What I found out is that Instagram without a doubt is an important cornerstone of our Web 2.0 participatory-culture and that it have created a space in which we can behold art in a new kind of way. This is partly thanks to how the interface affects the picture and the beholder, but most of all because of how the different Instagram users affect each other.

Abstract:

Hållbarhet har blivit ett allt mer förekommande begrepp, idag kommunicerar de flesta företagen att de på ett eller annat sätt försöker bidra till en bättre och mer hållbar värld. Ett viktigt begrepp inom hållbarhet är ESG som står för miljö, socialt ansvar och bolagsstyrning. ESG bygger vidare på det äldre konceptet CSR som handlar om företagens ansvarstagande i samhället.Syftet med studie är att analysera om ett företags ESG-betyg har en signifikant påverkan på dess värdering, samt om ESG-betyget bidrar till en lägre eller högre värdering av ett företag. Företagens ESG-betyg kommer tillämpas som en sammanvägd variabel och som en uppdelad variabel efter miljö, socialt ansvar och bolagsstyrning. I studien behandlas 44 företag börsnoterade på OMX Stockholm Large Cap under perioden 2004 – 2019. För att mäta värderingen används olika nyckeltal som tar hänsyn till företagens börsvärde i relation till deras tillgångar eller intjäning.Resultatet visar att ett företags värdering påverkas i olika stor utsträckning av ESG-betyget beroende på vilket nyckeltal som tillämpas för att mäta värderingen. Det finns ingen regression där ESG har en signifikant påverkan på samtliga nyckeltal. Slutsatsen från analysen visar att ett bra ESG-betyg tenderar att dra upp värderingen, detsamma gäller när företag jobbar med socialt ansvar och bolagsstyrning. Fokus på miljö tenderar dock till att sänka värderingen för de regressionerna där ESG har haft en signifikant påverkan på värderingen.
Sustainability has become a more and more recognized concept, today all the major corporations communicate that they are trying to contribute to a better and more sustainable world. An important term when it comes to sustainability is ESG which stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. ESG originates from CSR which stands for Corporate Social responsibility.This study aims to determine if ESG-rating have a significant impact on the valuation of a company, this study also aims to determine if the impact is positive or negative. The ESG-rating will be used as compounded variable and as variables divided into Environmental, Social and governance. This study consists of 44 companies listed on OMX Stockholm Large Cap between 2004-2019. In order to measure valuation, different key-ratios will be used, the key-ratios measure the market cap relative to different measures of assets and earnings.The result from this study shows that the impact ESG has on valuation varies depending on which key-ratios that are used in order to measure valuation. ESG does not have a significant impact on all the key-ratios. This study concluded that a high ESG-rating tend to increase valuation, that was also the case for Social and Governance. While high rating for environmental tend to decrease the valuation where the regression shows that ESG has a significant effect on the valuation.

Abstract:

Under hösten 2020 och våren 2021 har jag forskat på en låtskrivarmetod som jag inte använt mig av tidigare. Anledningen till detta är att jag aldrig blivit riktigt nöjd med trumspåren på mina tidigare kompositioner. Syftet med detta examensarbete var således att undersöka hur jag kunde utveckla en egen röst som låtskrivare genom att skapa låtar med utgångspunkt från trumsetet. Metoden har utgått från att börja låtskrivandet med hjälp av analyser av andra kompositioner för att få inspiration. Sedan att använda olika trumkomp och därefter komponera och spela in de resterande instrumentens harmonik, melodier och texter. Resultatet har varit både positivt och negativt. Det positiva har varit att jag fått fram fyra stycken färdigställda kompositioner som jag själv inte har uppnått tidigare. Det negativa har varit upplevelsen att de inte håller måttet för att publiceras offentligt. Det jag har kommit fram till i detta arbete är att min musik har fått ett mer rytmiskt språk än tidigare. Det övriga instrumenten blev mer kontrollerade vilket ledde till att det inte uppstod någon rytmiskt krock. Melodierna blev också mer kontrollerade och fick ett tydligare tema i kompositionerna, text var däremot svårt att få inspiration till. Den originella rösten jag sökte hittade jag inte fullt ut men jag har kommit en bra bit på vägen.

Abstract:

Algal turfs play an important role in both tropical and temperate reef ecology, supporting a diverse array of macrofauna as well as being primary producers within both intertidal and subtidal ecosystems. Biodiversity and biomass patterns of the intertidal algal turfs at Sodwana Bay, South Africa have not yet been established so this study was undertaken to investigate these. It was hypothesised that both biodiversity and biomass would decrease with increasing height along the shore, as well as that sediment would have an effect on the community composition of the turfs. The community was sampled over a vertical range of 1.2 m and found to be dominated by the red alga Jania intermedia (24.21 % of total algal coverage) followed by Tolypiocladia glomerulata (18.05 %), Dictyota sp. (13.39 %), Jania adhaerens (12.32 %) and Sphacelaria tribuloides. (5.83 %). No significant vertical zonation patterns were found, though certain species showed vertical trends such as Asparagopsis taxiformis and Sphacelaria tribuloides, which occurred in greatest biomass lower down on the shore, while Tolypiocladia glomerulata occurred higher up on the shore. Sand was found to affect certain species more than others, with Tolypiocladia glomerulata, Jania adhaerens and Asparagopsis taxiformis occurring in greatest biomass when the amount of sediment found in the quadrat was low, while Sphacelaria tribuloides. showed the opposite pattern and Jania intermedia showed no distinct pattern. Sampling took place over 1.2 m vertical height along the shore at spring low tide therefore covering 60 % of the intertidal zone vertically (maximum tidal range in South Africa is 2 m). It is therefore possible that the turfs are the cause of a decline in zonation by remaining damp and decreasing desiccation gradients vertically along the shore.

Abstract:

From 1945 to 1963 the United States Atomic Energy Commission detonated over 200 nuclear weapons tests at its Nevada and Pacific test sites, irradiating every living thing on the planet. Much of the historical scholarship on the period has focused on the scientific debate over the health effects of low-level radiation exposure or on determining what and when the Atomic Energy Commission knew about the health effects fallout. This dissertation, however, argues that the growth of ecological thinking about the health effects of fallout exposure in environmental sciences such as ecology, oceanography, and meteorology dramatically reshaped what was known about radiological risk and provided the scientific foundation for the Limited Test Ban Treaty. By highlighting the ways that radiation traveled beyond the boundaries of the test sites and became incorporated into critical human food chains, this ecological way of perceiving fallout largely replaced previous approaches to fallout risks derived from the discipline of health physics that focused on external forms of radiation exposure and ideas of spatial containment. This dissertation, however, also argues that fallout radiation proved much more than a menacing pollutant. Because environmental scientists can utilize radiation as a tool to trace out structure and function of the ecosystem, as well as oceanic and atmospheric motions, it also emerged during this period as a critical scientific practice. In tracing radiation as it moved through the environment, environmental scientists not only made legible the connections between the health of human bodies and the irradiated environment, but also demonstrated empirically that the earth was a spatially integrated biosphere. Such realizations, this dissertation concludes, formed an important footing the nascent environmental movement and helped establish the authority of the environmental sciences in matters of environmental pollution and regulation.

Full text

Abstract:

Previous art historical scholarship has approached the portraits of court jesters painted for the Buen Retiro Palace by Diego Velazquez between the late 1620s and 1630s as fascinating character studies that provided the artist with the opportunity to display psychological nuances and to experiment with painterly techniques that were precluded in his formal portraits of the royal family and members of the court. In addition, they have been discussed as an interesting intermingling of Northern and Southern Italian traditions of jester and dwarf imagery. This thesis will show that Velazquez was also deliberately including sophisticated references to prevailing philosophical ideas concerning inverted realities, and that these paintings, as well as their placement, provide information about the function of the jester as an instrument of opposition and comparison for the monarch at the court of Philip IV.

Abstract:

According to reports from the department of education the majority of school children consider school as a place for happiness, security and development. However, one of ten children experience cruelty and abuse on a daily basis and research shows that children are more often violated by their teachers rather than their peers. In year 2006 legislature decided that school children needed to be protected from the harmful abuse and bullying from other children as well as their teachers. Despite the law approximately 50 000 children are the victims of adult abuse in school every year. Meanwhile science also proves that teachers dare not, for different reasons, confront colleagues when witnessing violations of children. As a social worker I pondered about how this effected children growing up and if there was any correlation between teacher abuse and future deviant behavior and alienation. Due to the brief time frame this study only aims to describe the phenomena of teachers who violate their students. By asking adults working with children about their comprehension of abuse, children and school environment, but also what would improve relations between teachers and students, I tried to explain the matter. My result shows that the question was not easily answered but implied that several causes most likely interacted with one another. All informants condemned teachers violating their students but suggested the behavior be accounted for as an outcome of a single person overwhelmed by stress and failing to perform professionally. My chosen theory by Juul and Jensen explains competence at establishing positive relations between children and adults not only as a way to prevent violations of children but also as way of improving learning and structurally humanizing school.
