Full textStudien handlar om projektet Sharafs hjältar, som syftar till att förändra – attityderna hos unga män med rötter i hederskulturen. En kvalitativ metod har använts, där fyra intervjuer av män som arbetar inom organisationen genomförts. Syftet med studien är att få ökad förståelse för hur arbetet mot hedersrelaterat våld kan se ut. Fokus ligger på männens egen syn och egna erfarenheter av hederskulturen, samt deras arbete inom Sharafs hjältar. Våra frågeställningar är; Vad är Sharafs hjältar och vad är syftet och målet med projektet? Vilka metoder används i arbetet? Vilka problem och hinder uppstår under arbetet i projektet och vilket resultat har projektet givit hittills? Vad består en hederskultur av, och vilka problem orsakar den? Vilken roll har unga män i hederskulturen? Hur kan de arbeta för att förändra den?
Resultatet visar att projektets syfte är att det ska vara en stödorganisation för att förebygga och förändra attityder, att fungera som en kunskapsbank för myndigheter i frågor gällande hedersrelaterat våld. Den huvudsakliga metoden i projektet är dialoggruppen, där arbetet startar ”underifrån” genom den unga generationens män. Resultatet som projektet har visat är att när dialogen kommer in i familjen, startar en tankeprocess, vilken leder till förändringar gällande rådande attityder. Problem som förekommer med arbetet handlar om brister i myndigheternas samarbete, samt att myndigheters kunskaper kring hedersproblematiken är bristfällig.
Nyckelord; Heder, Unga mäns roller, Sharafs hjältar, Hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck, Socialisation, Familjestruktur.
This study is about the project Sharaf’s heroes, which aims to change - the attitudes of young men with roots in honour culture. A qualitative method has been used, with four interviews with men who work within the organization. The aim of the study has been to increase the understanding of how work against honour related violence and oppressions can be dealt with, in order to decrease it. The focus in this study lies on the young men's own view on and experiences of honour culture and their work with the project Sharaf’s heroes. Our issues are as follows: What are Sharaf’s heroes and what is the purpose of the project? Which methods are used in their work? Which problems and obstacles will it be with the work in the project and which result has the project given so far? What does an honour culture consist of and what kinds of problems does it cause? Which role has young men living in honour culture and how can they work in order to change it?
Our result shows that the project’s purpose of the project is that it will work as an aid organization in order to prevent and to change attitudes. Additionally, it will function as a knowledge bank for different authorities when it comes to honour related violence. The main method in the project is the dialogue group, where the work starts from underneath through the young generation's men. The result that the project has given so far shows that when the dialogue between children and parents start, a process begins which leads to change the current prevailing attitudes. The problems with the work in the project are above all that there is a lack of cooperation within the authorities, and that authority’s knowledge about honour related problems is inadequate.
Keywords; Honour, Young men’s role, Sharaf’s heroes, Honour related violence and oppression, Socialization, Familystructure.

Full textThe objective of this work is to understand what kind of activities people develop at the workplace when they are not working and which are their work-related effects. The study of this subject was conducted through twenty interviews with people from different areas - tourism, banking, consulting, telecommunications, informatics, ambient, pharmaceutical, psychological, financial, and advocacy – that were not occupying leading positions inside their companies. The observed outcomes of these research show that people engage in a lot of different non-work related practices everyday that have diverse causes and consequences in their work life. The results reveal that in most of the cases, interruptions and breaks have a very positive impact on the work process and progress, increasing productivity and efficiency, improving the work rhythm and the most important thing – contributing for the solutions for wok-related problems and issues that cannot be resolved without a pause in the work. This means that the solution for some problems related to working issues, comes from the break that was done, this is, the revenue obtained is higher when there has been a pause than when there was not any interruption, as it is going to be explained further in this work.

Full textIn today´s society, we are active day and nights, both in leisure time and at work. This means that employees must be available at work 24-hours a day which inflict high strain on their circadian rhythms. The irregular working hours can affect negatively on the employee’s physical and mental health. Companies can, together with local unions, negotiate away the statutory dinner break and replace it with meal break, which means that it is included in working hours and should be used as time permits. The purpose of this study was to identify the perceptions of workers in rotating 3-shift, in a process industry, when and where their meal breaks take place and what they ate. 15 shift workers have during 6 shifts each, photo-documented what their meal breaks consisted of. Consumption of foods and beverages were categorized by Food-Based Classification of Eating Episodes. The photographs showed that the number of eating occasions was lower during the night shift in comparison to other shifts. Shift workers were interviewed and their statements underwent a phenomenographical analysis which revealed that their perception of the meal break is a social event as well that strengthens the group community. When the workers were having a meal, it is mostly occurred at the dinner table. The shift workers replaced each other so each one had the possibility to take a meal break. Regarding snack intakes, it could occur at their workplace and if something happened in the process, they could immediately return to work. Further studies are needed to verify the perceptions of other working groups.

Full textThe purpose of this work project is to explore the activities people engage in while they are at work but not working. Twenty interviews were conducted with young workers from different occupational areas to map out those activities, to understand the reasons why people engage in certain routines and behaviours and what are the consequences for the productivity of the employee and for the company as a whole. The first conclusion is fact that people need some time to exit a role and enter a new role. The second states the importance to break between long periods of work. The third concerns the need to reconcile personal issues and professional lives. And the last conclusion links the need to be in touch with the outside world with the socialization requirement among workers.

Full textThe purpose of the study was to identify the factors in women's exposure to violence by men in intimate relationships that affect their choice and ability to stay in or leave a violent relationship and what impact the social network has on women's decision to stay in or leave the relationship. Through qualitative content analysis of four autobiographies written by previously abused women, results were compiled, thematized and analysed using theories and concepts such as normalization process, traumatic bonding, and break-up process together with previous research. The results showed that reasons why an abused woman stays in a violent relationship are strong emotional bonds, normalization of violence, addiction, being mentally break down, internalization, fear and hope for change. What causes an abused woman to leave a violent relationship has turned out to be the realization that it would be unsustainable to stay for various reasons as well as fear for her own or someone else's life. The breaking process can be explained as a process in several steps. The social network had a great importance in the woman's choice and opportunity to be able to leave the relationship, however, the decision to leave had to come from the woman herself. The conclusion was thus that women who are exposed by men in intimate partner violence are a very vulnerable group in society, the relationship is often complex. Breaking women's isolation, as a result of domestic violence, requires efforts from the social network and change at the societal level.

Full textThe effects of interruptions at work were investigated, first through the work experience of a group of 20 white collar employees and as complementary information an overview of the interruptions literature was taken. Specifically this study falls on the reasons leading to employees solicited interruptions at work and which non-related work activities they engage in. The importance of these practises to the organization is the key variable of study of this project. Mainly, workers interrupt work in order to unwind, to establish relationships with colleagues, to take care of personal life and to gain stimulus to work. This study demonstrates the importance of practises performed by the employees and the positive impact they have in the organization.

Full textThere are only a few published studies about recovery at work. More research would be necessary to investigate the importance of recovery and the potential recovery strategies in an working environment. The purpose of this study was to examine the nurses' experience of recovery at work by studying scheduled recovery time at 1177 Healthcare Service over the phone. The study focus on finding and to understand the importance of recovery at work by investigating the workload and working climate, these factors was looked at on how well the nurses managed their work tasks and social interaction in the workgroup. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten nurses at the 1177 Healthcare Service over the phone. Gathered data was looked at using thematic analysis which resulted in five themes; energy levels at work, the presence in the conversation with the caller, the legitimate acceptance to recover at work, ability to detach from work during breaks and the nurses solidarity in the workgroup. The result show the importance of each individuals need to feel like they are in demand of their own recovery as well as being able to detach themselves from work during their breaks. Recovery at work has a significant impact on the workload as it is perceived to provide the nurses with higher levels of energy, better focused, become more efficient and the ability to enter a more professional role when handling their work tasks. Recovery is also important for the nurses working climate, it provides the feeling of getting a closer relationship with colleagues, higher level of support and the time to reflect with each other and the opportunity to develop work related relationships, results shown after the insight of studying the interaction of the work group. The study contributes to understand the importance of recovery as a resource for the person to feelin control and solidarity at work which can benefit the organisational and social work environment.

Full textThis paper deals with prehistoric charred organic material, interpreted as bread, found in graves and in the underlying settlement at Kalvshälla, Järfälla parish in Uppland. The aim was to categorize the organic material morphologically and with the help of Fourier transformed Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) to see whether it was bread or not. Material from 13 graves (dated to Late Roman Iron Age until Viking Age) and 3 finds from the settlement have been analysed. Differences were noted both in shape, porosity and structure. Some of the material has been interpreted as cereal based foodstuff instead of bread due to morphological discrepancies. No clear differences between material from the graves and the settlement can be seen. One find from a posthole can be dated to late Bronze Age, which is unusual. The bread in the graves was intentionally given to both adult females and males maybe as a symbol of their roles as the good householders. Several finds of root tubers of dropwort (Filipendula vulgaris) were identified in female graves from Early Iron Age, but also in two male graves with bread from Vendel period. The FT-IR method does not give a clear answer to whether the organic material can be bread or not. The method requires careful sampling procedures and several samples from each concretion to get good results.

Full textSjuksköterskor är en utsatt yrkesgrupp och efterfrågan på sjuksköterskor ökar. Arbetsgivare inom vård och omsorg bedömer en brist på sjuksköterskor. En avgörande faktor till bristen är att sjuksköterskor avslutar sjuksköterskeyrket för bristande arbetsvillkor och arbetsmiljön. Syftet med studien var att undersöka på hur sjuksköterskor beskriver sina arbetsmåltider och arbetsmåltiden som en möjlighet till återhämtning. Metoden som användes till studien var en kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Urvalet bestod av fem sjuksköterskorna som alla arbetade på samma hälsocentral och åt arbetsmåltider. Rekryteringen av sjuksköterskorna skedde via ett snöbollsurval. Intervjuerna genomfördes på informanternas egna arbetskontor och spelades in och transkriberades sedan. För att analysera datamaterialet från intervjuerna användes en manifest innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att de fyra kategorierna arbetsmåltidens innehåll och mening, miljö för arbetsmåltiden, tiden för att äta och sociala relationer vid matbordet sammanfattade sjuksköterskornas beskrivningar av arbetsmåltider. Arbetsmåltiden beskrivs som en möjlighet till återhämtning men även att återhämtning är mycket mer än måltider som ger energi. Slutsatsen är att sjuksköterskor i denna studie ansåg att arbetsmåltiderna kan förbättras genom tillräckligt långa raster, lägre ljudnivå i måltidsmiljön, mindre stress under måltider, tillräckligt med utrymmen för att äta och tillreda mat samt genom ett utbud av näringsrik kost på arbetsplatsen. Studiens resultat visar att arbetsmåltiden beskrivs som en möjlighet till återhämtning men att sjuksköterskor associerar återhämtning även till nattsömn, umgås med familjen, utföra fysisk aktivitet eller bara att få samla upp sina tankar som de anser ger dem energi.

Full textWritten verbal production is a vast field of investigation for cognitive sciences. At a time when it is asked at an increasingly early age to know how to produce with the digital tools of written verbal production (computer keyboard and touch tablet), the use of these tools needs to be studied. We propose to examine the effects of three tools on production (digital pen, keyboard and touch pad). To do so, we conducted four studies: the first deals with orthographic production in dictation condition; the second is about copying words; the third concerns the reproduction of sentences; the fourth deals with the production of texts.Our analyzes show that the variable production tool is of great importance in the verbal production of words, phrases and the production of texts. We have been able to highlight an effect of these tools on production times, the number of errors, the retrieval of information, the throughput and the quality of the texts produced. Our research opens up new perspectives both from a methodological and a theoretical point of view. Indeed, the tool of production is a variable that must be taken into account in the study of written verbal production

Two experiments were manipulated in this study. The first experiment investigated the effects of ambient illumination (100, 300, and 500 lx), text difficulty (high, medium, and low), holding method of electronic book (one hand, two hands, and slope on the desk), and books category (text book, extracurricular reading material) on reading and visual performance for electronic book. A total of 48 collage students aged 18-23 (SD = 1.87) participated in the experiment. Analysis showed that text difficulty and books category significantly affected subject’s reading performance. Ambient illumination and books category significantly affected subject’s visual performance; however, holding method of electronic book was not significantly affected subject’s reading and visual performance. Moreover, two interactive two-way effects were found: text difficulty × books category significantly affected subject’s reading time. The interactive of ambient illumination and books category significantly affected subject’s subjective preference. The second experiments examined the effects of holding angle of electronic book (105, 125, and 145∘), work-break schedule (type Ⅰ, typeⅡ, and type Ⅲ), and book category (text book, extracurricular reading material) on reading and visual performance for electronic book. A total of 48 collage students aged 18-23 (SD = 1.87) participated in the experiment. Analysis showed that book category significantly affected subject’s reading performance, and visual fatigue. Holding angle of electronic book significantly affected subject’s reading time. Work-break schedule significantly affected subject’s accuracy; however, holding angle of electronic book, work-break schedule, and book category was not significantly affected subject’s subjective preference. Moreover, one interactive two-way effects were found: The interactive of holding angle of electronic book and books category significantly affected subject’s reading time. Results are applicable to design of electronic book.

Full textThe concept of worker availability requirements refers to instances in which workers are required to be available to their employers outside of standard work hours (off-duty). Due to several factors, especially the internationalization of markets, financialisation of the economy, and the development of information and communication technology, this normative requirement is inadequately regulated by current legislation in Quebec. Therefore, our research evaluates the extent that the Loi sur les accidents du travail et les maladies professionnelles addresses availability requirements imposed on workers in the province. To this end, we carried out qualitative and quantitative analyses of decisions made by the Commission d’appel en matière de lésions professionnelles and Commission des lésions professionnelles between 1995 and 2014. From a sociological perspective, we attempted to produce different categories of off-duty availability requirements, and to discern whether an augmentation in the number of decisions concerning availability requirements has taken place over time. Finally, we examined the extent that workers benefit from the rights provided by the L.a.t.m.p. when injuries occur during off-duty hours in which workers are required to be available. Our results demonstrate that many categories of availability requirements can be developed related to the period of time during when such obligation occurs. Furthermore, these requirements are also linked to individuals’ status as self-employed workers. Finally, it seems that the recognition of workers’ employment injuries vary along these categories. However, our results also suggest that there exists no positive trend in the number of decisions concerning worker availability requirements over time.

Customer first is emphasized in service industry today. There is not much research on the relationship between of negative mood and first-line service employee deviance behaviors, and how we can alleviate employee’s negative mood. The present study aimed to, first, investigate the relationship between negative mood and employee deviant behavior (interpersonal deviance, organizational deviance and service sabotage); Second, we intend to explore the moderating role of recovery after within-workday break. In the first phase of the present study, we interviewed 10 service employees from different service organizations. In the second phase, questionnaires were delivered to participants who are first-line service employees. We finally got 109 complete cases and used hierarchical regression analysis to examine all hypotheses. The results showed that negative mood positively related to interpersonal deviance and services sabotage. Moreover, when employees experienced more control recovery experience after the break, the relationship between negative mood and services sabotage became weaker. Finally, according to the results of this study, we discussed theoretical implication and managerial suggestions.
