Abstract (sommario):

Kulturell representation har länge varit ett ämne som tagits upp i diskussioner, i denna uppsats kommer vi ta upp om hur vikingar är representerade i spel. Frågeställningen är: På vilka sätt är spelares förväntningar av vikingar annorlunda mot verkligheten? För att kunna svara på denna fråga har vi först gjort en förstudie där vi använde en tematisk analys för att få fram åtta bilder med olika varianter på vikingar som går från ”spelviking” till ”historisk viking” i fyra olika steg. Fyra manliga bilder och fyra kvinnliga bilder skapades, dessa bilder visades sedan i par till deltagarna i en enkät för huvudstudien. Detta för att se vilka av vikingabilderna som de trodde var mest ”vikingalik”. Deltagarna tyckte rent generellt att de historiska vikingarna var mer vikingalika än de vikingabilderna som var baserade på spelen under förstudien.
Cultural representation has long been a subject of discussion, and in this thesis we will bring up how Vikings are represented in games. The question we will ask ourselves is: In what ways are players expectations of Vikings different from reality? To answer this question we have first done a preliminary investigation where we used a thematical analysis to come up with eight pictures with different variants of Vikings going from “game-Viking” to “historically accurate Viking” in four steps. Four male pictures and four female pictures were made, these pictures were then shown in pairs to participants in the survey during the main investigation. This was done to see which Viking depictions they thought were most “Viking-like”. People generally thought that the historically accurate Vikings were more Viking-like than the Viking pictures based on the games chosen during the pre-investigation.

Abstract (sommario):

Vikings are a vibrant part of modern popular culture. Although the Viking Age ended nearly a millennium ago, today Viking images are everywhere, functioning as tourist attractions, marketing devices, role models, and sources of regional/national pride and identity. This thesis examines the causes of the Vikings' adoption as icons of popular culture, and looks at the various ways in which Vikings are used. Crucial to an understanding of modern Viking constructions are questions of popular culture's roles, and its relations with high culture and academia. As an historical people who have been re-invented by popular legend, Vikings illustrate the problematic relations between scholars and the popular incarnations of those scholars' subjects. Scholars in the Viking field often feel antagonism toward the popular images which they see as distorting their topic. Yet without the popular Viking visions, it would be difficult for academic work on the Vikings to continue. Popular interest is what sells books, brings visitors to venues such as the Jorvik Viking Centre, and attracts many scholars to the Viking field in the first place. The thesis first discusses theories of popular culture, and the development of cultural studies. From there it turns to a chronological overview of political, literary and archaeological developments which have influenced the evolution of Viking images. In the third chapter, attention turns to questions of the popular Vikings' appearance. Viking men, Viking women, Viking ships and Viking helmets are discussed in the context of the physical traits assigned to them by popular imagery, and the various sources of these representations. The fourth chapter examines a central dichotomy of Viking constructions, the question of whether Vikings are good or evil. A discussion of cross-cultural constructions of the word "barbarian", and the interactions between barbarism and civilisation, is followed by an examination of the Vikings in their barbarian interpretation. The chapter also looks at the reverse side of these barbarian images, by which Vikings gain sympathy through their characterisation as a people who have been done wrong by history, and need to be rescued from their barbaric reputation. Chapter Five looks at the Vikings' positive roles, in which they function as models of discipline and skill, industriousness, independence, and adventurousness, and illustrate ways in which "the human spirit reached new heights". Finally, Chapter Six looks in more detail at questions of why the Vikings are important today, attempting to discern what elements of the Viking myth have ensured its survival in modern popular consciousness.

Abstract (sommario):

The meaning with this essay is to study and analyze the figuration of vikings in Swedish educational books during a period between 1969-2010, together with how the Swedish government's curriculums during the same time period have shaped the content of the educational books regarding the content of vikings. In order to be able to answer these questions a set criterion was formed before the writing started on the essay to form a foundation for the conclusions that were later formulated in the essay. In the essay it emerged that the earliest curriculum had a big focus on teaching the students national history whilst the two later curriculums had a bigger focus on a broader teaching on European history and other nationality groups and their views and a smaller focus on only national history. The results showed that although the curriculums in the Swedish school had changed, the educational books view on vikings remains similar with small changes present throughout the texts. Most notably the change in perspective from only a national view to several perspectives from both the vikings point of view but also the view from ethnic groups around Europe.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Building offerings, artefacts or bones that had been placed under or within house features, are considered evidence of rites associated with house construction, remodelling or abandonment, and are an archaeological phenomenon that was common throughout European prehistory. This dissertation focuses on interpreting building offerings dating to the Viking Age in Iceland and Scotland. Each find of this type is unique, which poses a challenge for archaeological investigations that often lack the interpretive framework needed to make comparisons between sites. This dissertation critically refines the frameworks of previous studies of similar types of deposits in AngloSaxon Britain and Scandinavia in order to fill this gap in research and discuss the purpose of houserites. The frameworks of behavioural and cognitive archaeology indicate that the performance of house-rites played a role in the construction of the house as the centre of the world-view of Vikingage people. House-rites are situated as prescriptive behaviours that negotiated perspectives of space throughout the residential life-cycle by adding to house materiality. This refined interpretive paradigm is then applied to a comparative survey of Viking-age houses and farmsteads from Iceland and Scotland. In the North Atlantic region, house-rites appear to have been performed in order for Norse people to reimagine their place in the world. The practical elements of the tradition were altered based on the relevant cultural frameworks and specific geo-political contexts to which Norse people were migrating in the Viking Age. In Iceland, people utilised displays of generosity and skills as providers during house-rites to construct an association between social relationships and residential space. The house itself had agency in situating people both within the landscape and the community. In Norse settlements in Scotland, Scandinavian people were relating themselves directly to the symbols used by native peoples through the use of personal objects in the performance of houserites, integrating their new environment into their mentalities. In Scandinavia, house-rites were a long-standing tradition, leading to a well-established, carefully negotiated sense of identity within the landscape. The Norse people who migrated into the North Atlantic region during the Viking Age were leaving this well-established sense of place. This intensified the climate of uncertainty regarding their place in the world, leading to the negotiation of mentalities through the discursive dynamics of house-rites in altered contexts.

Abstract (sommario):

This study illustrates the wider Insular contact with Viking Scandinavia by the examination of a primary feature of early Viking Art, the Gripping- Beast-Motif. It examines the various theories behind the ‘genesis' of this motif in order to eliminate the most unlikely and assert the role of Insular impulses in this so-called 'parthenogenetic' development. To this end it provides an examination of the various roles and likely paradigms from the different regions of the British Isles and in particular reassesses the role of Ireland in these impulses, on the premise that Insular art was providing the influences which led to the creation of the motif that provide a heuristic overview of what these influences meant in their own context. The result of this is to establish a Scandinavian belief context to determine whether the motifs were being copied to fit into a similar or shared meaning context.

Abstract (sommario):

Vikings: a term so well known that it instantaneously evokes an image of bloodthirsty warriors, weapons, hoards, burning monasteries and heroic battles. Despite growing academic knowledge about the limitations of this stereotype of Vikings, it is nevertheless strongly rooted within popular culture. How can visitors to museums help us to understand the role of Vikings in constructing, maintaining and modifying collective, national and personal identities? This research explores the image of Vikings in English and Icelandic society and in two museums, Víkingaheimar in Reykjanesbær, Iceland and Yorkshire Museum in Yorkshire, England. The aim of this thesis is analyse visitor responses to museum representations of the Vikings. Its findings demonstrate the role of collective memory in the meaning creation process within museums and the use of the Viking stereotype as a trope in order to construct collective, national and individual identities. Furthermore, by exploring individual responses to history, the research advances understanding of the impact within modern society of the Viking image and its representation within museums. It also shows how history, in particular, history beyond living memory, is used in order to make sense of present social issues. Fieldwork conducted at Víkingaheimar and Yorkshire Museum is analysed using theories on historical distancing, collective social memory, nationalism, otherness and representation within museums. These theories are discussed in relation to identity formation and collective memory to examine the role and influences of the Vikings and their age upon modern Icelandic and English society. The results show that participants in the study used the collective social past in order to rationalise present social issues and events. This enabled a positive interpretation and fluid formations of their various identities within the museum exhibition. Additionally, participants made the past more personal by reflecting on their own identity through history. Participants in this study are shown to interpret the past based upon collective memory, ignoring the museum’s historical exhibition narrative in favour of their pre-existing ideas on history.

Gardela, Leszek. "Entangled worlds : archaeologies of ambivalence in the Viking age". Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2012. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=207460.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

When all available sources on the Viking world are combined, there is a strong sense that the Scandinavians of the late Iron Age (8th-11th centuries AD) recognised no clear distinctions between the profane and the sacred. The latter could manifest itself in different ways, in places, beings or objects, and it often aroused ambivalent feelings of both fear and awe. This thesis explores these entanglements and the notion of ambivalence in relation to a particular group of Viking-Age individuals involved in the practice of magic (e.g. seiðr). Chapters 1-3 form the background for the considerations on ritual specialists' lives, tools of trade and ways of burial. After a detailed review of Viking-Age funerary practices, focus shifts towards the corpus of so-called ‘deviant burials', which in recent years have often been interpreted as belonging to ritual specialists. Chapter 4 compares the written and archaeological evidence for the funerary treatment of ritual specialists. Particular attention is devoted to graves where the deceased are covered with stones, since in the written sources execution by stoning is often employed as a punishment for malevolent magic. Nonetheless, caution is suggested in labeling all of them as belonging to ritual specialists and the necessity of a more individual, contextual approach is proposed. Chapter 5 examines a specific group of Viking-Age artefacts that usually take the form of iron rods, which have recently been interpreted as magic staffs. These items are discussed in the light of Old Norse texts and comparative materials from other areas of the world. Ultimately, the thesis embraces the notion of ambiguity in Viking attitudes to the supernatural, viewing this not as an obstructive problem but as an active component of interpretation. This combines an appropriate caution in approaching a difficult aspect of past societies, with a sensible refusal to introduce more rigid definitions than those used by the Vikings themselves.

This is an experimental study of a few glass objects from the Birka Excavations 1987-1989. A number of beads and waste from bead production have been studied. A group of these objects have also been examined with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive detectors (EDS) to comparatively analyze the materials composition. Experiments to recreate the technique in which they were made have been attempted with various results. The techniques found in the beads include the use of murrini, stringer, dotting, and blown-drawn. However the waste material available to this study only suggests that in Birka, beads where made with the winding technique and ornamented with stringer and possibly dotting. The glass used was heated in clay crucibles and some rods where premade.

Abstract (sommario):

This paper is aimed at mapping important traits in a Hiberno-Norse identity. This is the main focus of the essay, but another important part is to problematize this using several theoretical approaches of which the main are identity, creolization and hybridization. The Hiberno-Norse culture being primarily an urban phenomenon, the thesis is delimited to the Hiberno-Norse towns with occasional comparisons to Scandinavia to see how the native Irish population influenced the invaders and how they gradually evolved into the Hiberno-Norse. Early on the Norse show signs of creolization that would ultimately lead to the creation of the Hiberno-Norse hybrid culture known from history and archaeology – an urban culture that show blended Norse and Irish features.
Denna uppsats är till för att sammanställa viktiga uttryck I en Iro-Skandinavisk identitet. Detta är huvudsyftet med uppsatsen, men en annan viktig del är att problematisera detta genom flera teoretiska begrepp, där de främsta är identitet, kreolisering och hybridisering. Då den Iro-Skandinaviska kulturen framför allt var ett urbant fenomen har uppsatsen avgränsats till de Iro-Skandinaviska städerna, med sporadiska jämförelser med Skandinavien för att se hur den inhemska Irländska befolkningen influerade angriparna och hur de skulle komma att utvecklas till Iro-Skandinaverna. Tidigt uppvisar nordborna tecken på kreolisering, som till slut skulle leda till uppkomsten av den Iro-Skandinaviska hybridkulturen känd från historian och arkeologin – en urban kultur som uppvisar blandade nordiska och irländska drag.

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose of this thesis is to address key questions concerning the status and roles of enslaved groups (thralls) in Viking-Age Scandinavia. The thesis focuses on the lives of thralls at two levels; first within the local context of the household and farm (described here as the ‘microenvironment’), and second within the wider ‘macroenvironment’ of Scandinavian society. In particular, the study seeks to uncover the different practical and economic roles that were fulfilled by thralls within these contexts, and in doing so to explore how slaveholding communities benefitted from the exploitation of these people. In order to address these issues, the thesis critically examines the archeological material associated with thralls and discusses the various issues associated with the interpretation of this evidence. Given the inherent difficulty of identifying thralls in the archaeological record, this study also utilizes a range of contemporaneous and later medieval textual sources, including the Icelandic sagas and the earliest surviving Scandinavian law codes, as a means of contextualizing the discussion of material evidence. In exploring the diverse range of archaeological evidence and textual sources available to us, the author concludes that thralls played a significant role among Scandinavian communities as a source of both domestic and economic labor. Through this, they also involuntarily helped Scandinavian communities to mount and sustain trading, raiding and settlement activity in Europe and beyond. In reaching this conclusion, the author draws upon a number of sources pointing to a significant need for (unfree?) labor, for example in tasks such as textile production. When combined with a high-level of access to slaves through raiding and trading activity, it seems logical that Viking-Age communities would have exploited thralls in this way. Given the regular appearance of thralls in both the early Scandinavian law codes and sagas, furthermore, it is likely that these people represented a prominent social group within both social and labor-related contexts.

Abstract (sommario):

La place du mort est une étude topographique des sépultures païennes de l'âge de fer en Islande. Le but de ce travail est d'étudier la localisation des tombes et d'en déterminer le sens. Les résultats se fondent sur une révision critique de toutes les données disponibles en matière de site funéraire en Islande, et sur la fouille de chaque sépulture répertoriée. Les données obtenues permettent l'élaboration d'un modèle de localisation des tombes qui les situe a) loin des fermes, mais près des frontières et des routes, b) à proximité des fermes et à une courte distance de leur zone d'activité principale et c) au carrefour entre la route principale et l'allée menant au corps de ferme. Ces résultats ont été testés et confirmés par d'autres explorations de terrain et des fouilles récentes. La comparaison des tombes situées en a) et en b) met en évidence une différence intéressante : près des fermes, les tombes sont souvent orientées nord-sud, les sépultures sont en petit nombre et d'une variété limitée, et la population des défunts est majoritairement constituée d'hommes adultes ou âgés. Les tombes éloignées des fermes quant à elles sont le plus souvent orientées est-ouest, présentent une variété plus importante de biens funéraires, et contiennent des hommes et des femmes de tous âges. Les spécificités topographiques sont interprétées comme reflétant les différentes étapes du processus de la colonisation humaine de l'Islande, qui a eu lieu à la fin du IXe siècle : au stade initial, les sépultures sont placées près de l‘unique endroit important aux yeux des premiers colons : leur habitation. Puis la croissance de l'immigration entraîne de nouvelles règles, dont l'élaboration de frontières entre les propriétés agricoles, frontières signifiées entre autres par les cimetières qui y sont établis. Vers la fin de la colonisation, les démarcations sont nettes et convenues. Les frontières sont désinvesties et les lieux d'importance sont alors déplacés aux carrefours entre route principale et allée conduisant au nouveaux corps de ferme construits au sein d'établissements prééxistants
The Place of the Dead. Viking Pagan Burial in Icelandic Cultural LandscapeLa place du mort is a topographical study of pagan burials from the late Iron Age in Iceland. The aim of this work is to investigate where burials are located, and explain the reason behind the choice of place. The results are based on a critical revision of all available data on known burial sites in Iceland, and a survey of each site in the field. The main results are presented as a model of burial location, which shows that graves were placed either a) away from farmhouses, on boundaries and by roads, or b) close to farms, and a short distance outside the main activity area of the farm, or c) at the crossroads between the main road and the home lane leading to the farm. These results were tested – and confirmed - by further field survey and excavation. When the details of each grave at the two extreme locations were compared, and interesting difference became apparent: At locations near farms, the graves are frequently orientated N-S, the grave-goods are in small numbers and of a limited variety, and the population are predominantly adult or old men. The graves far away from the farm, are most often oriented E-W, there is a greater number and a greater variety of gravegoods, and there are male and female graves of people of all ages.The differences between locations are explained as different stages of the process of the human colonisation of Iceland which occurred in the late 9th century : at the initial stage, burials were located near to the only significant place of the first settlers, the habitation. With growing immigration, people establish boundaries between farms by placing cemeteries there. Towards the end of the colonisation, where boundaries have been agreed upon, the most significant location shifts again, from boundaries, to the junction between the main road and the home track, leading to the farm which has been located between two already established settlements

Abstract (sommario):

Les Vikings qui se sont établis, au cours des IXe et Xe siècles, dans une partie de l’ancienne Neustrie carolingienne n’ont pas bouleversé les structures matérielles et politiques de la société franque. En revanche, ils ont laissé des traces linguistiques bien perceptibles dans la toponymie et l’anthroponymie, mais surtout les Vikings ont transmis des mots usuels de leur civilisation, ultimes vestiges de leur langue disparue, l’ancien scandinave. Cette étude se propose d’inventorier, sous la forme d’un glossaire, les mots lexicaux apportés par les Vikings qui ont intégré les parlers d’oïl de Normandie et de les analyser selon une double perspective : historique et linguistique. Les investigations historiques portent aussi bien sur l’origine des faits et des langues, sur la nature des sources qui nous ont transmis les mots d’origine scandinave, que sur la culture des hommes qui ont employé ces mots. Les analyses linguistiques s’attachent à résoudre les problèmes étymologiques rencontrés au cours de cette étude, notamment ceux qui concernent les mots d’origine germanique, à comprendre comment les termes scandinaves se sont intégrés au système phonétique et morphologique de la langue d’oïl, et enfin à les quantifier selon des perspectives synchroniques, diachroniques et géolinguistiques. Cette étude lexicale apporte un complément appréciable aux recherches historiques et archéologiques menées depuis ces dernières années sur le « dossier scandinave » de la Normandie. Comme elles, celle-ci tend à confirmer l’acculturation rapide des Vikings à la société carolingienne, malgré des éléments originaux qui se manifestent dans le domaine maritime

Abstract (sommario):

The discovery of two mass graves in England in 2010 containing the remains of Scandinavian men in their prime from the Viking age against the historical backdrop of Anglo-Saxon England has elicited questions as to whether or not they were victims of ethnic cleansing. Literature studies combined with the results from the post-excavation analyses render the conclusion that the victims in the grave, most likely, were not subjected to ethnic cleansing. It is more plausible that they were Scandinavian mercenaries who were executed during an intense period where a failing England was desperately paying for its own conquest with the Danegeld. The historical documents give the impression that a nation-wide genocide against Danes took place, however the archaeological material and analyses do not fully support this scenario.
Mot bakgrunden av den anglosaxiska perioden i England har upptäckten 2010 i England av två massgravar innehållande kvarlevor av vikingatida skandinaviska män väckt frågor om huruvida offren var utsatta för etnisk rensning. Resultat från analyser av materialet från utgrävningarna i kombination med litteraturstudier leder till slutsatsen att individerna i graven sannolikt inte var offer för etnisk rensning. Det förefaller mer troligt att männen var legosoldater vilka avrättades under den intensiva period då det skuldtyngda England betalade stora summor danagäld till vikingarna. I de historiska källorna beskrivs hur massmord av daner ägde rum över hela landet, dock finns det inget i det arkeologiska materialet eller i analysresultaten som stöder en sådan händelseutveckling.

Abstract (sommario):

The aim of this study is to examine the temporary museum exhibit World of the Vikings (Welt der Wikinger), created by Sweden’s Statens Historia Museum (SHM), through the lenses of gender and pedagogical analysis. The exhibit which was planned to be showcased in the German city of Kiel in time for the sailing Olympics in 1972 and had several goals in mind. The primary goals were to showcase models of Viking ships and achievements of their ship art (to coincide with the sailing Olympics), provide an overview of the Viking Age and showcasing all its different aspects as opposed to just the infamous warrior. Using a gender theory and the overarching analyst method ‘The Feminist Museum Hack’, primarily utilizing a discourse analysis and a visual method (as well as comparative reading, a quantitative method and content analysis, depending on which objects were analysed), this study examines archival material of the exhibit in order to unveil both gender and pedagogical aspects. The material used, consisting of protocols, memos, exhibition texts, booth overviews (consisting of photographs), catalogues and letter correspondents, provide an extensive look into the exhibit, its purposes as well as the overall structure. The main findings of this study are that the exhibit had a clear pedagogical goal in mind, as its content was divided into different parts and chapters to detail various parts of the Viking Age, including their everyday life. Several artifacts collected from various museums were showcased, and the exhibition texts were designed to both educate its visitors and inspire to seek further knowledge. Nuancing gender roles was not part of its purpose, which is confirmed by a gender analysis of the exhibit. A significant portion of the Nordic people mentioned were men while only a few women were mentioned, but most of the featured men and women were also from a higher hierarchical standing. In terms of expression of gender and gender roles, men were the primary focus in describing and showcasing everyday Nordic life, whereas the women remained passive and secondary. Through the exhibit material, it is clear the roles and chores performed by men were deemed of a higher importance.

Abstract (sommario):

The subject of this study is Viking-Late Norse settlement (c. AD800-1200) in the North Atlantic, focusing on Orkney and on longhouse complexes constructed on mounds. For the first time these mound settlements are investigated as a group and as deliberately constructed mounds. Settlement mounds in Orkney are also closely associated with nearly 40 Skaill ON skáli ('hall') place-names, which place-names linked the sites with the social and economic networks of Orkney's peripatetic leaders. This association is examined more closely. The analysis also demonstrates that constructing settlements on mounds required particular building techniques, which relied heavily on the use of midden-type material. Those techniques are examined using new and freshly analysed material from published and grey literature-published excavations and surveys of sites from the Viking-Late Norse period in Orkney and elsewhere. Three core data-sets were established to provide the evidential basis: the first, also drawing on site-visits, looking broadly at mound landscapes and skáli-areas in Orkney; the second at the building techniques and materials used on settlement mounds; and the third, also requiring site-visits, at all the skáli place-name sites. The possible origins of settlement mound living in the settlers' Scandinavian homelands are investigated, then the extent to which mound living was also followed in Shetland, Caithness and the Western Isles, and finally in previously unoccupied lands, using Iceland as a case study. The mound-sites, their archaeology, mound architecture, place-names and landscape setting are also analysed in a new theoretical framework to reach fresh understandings of Viking-Late Norse settlement in Orkney. The analysis thus considers the wider cultural significance of constructing and living on settlement mounds, and what that communicated about Viking-Late Norse society. The thesis argues that Viking-Late Norse groups chose prominently-placed sites for their visual dominance and commanding views, but also that the rebuilding of mound structures in one spot, and building out and up of the mound itself using midden material, set strong cultural messages about stability, continuity and association with the surrounding landscape. The mounds were complex features of culturally meaningful architecture.

Abstract (sommario):

Šioje disertacijoje tyrinėjami keltų ir skandinavų kalbų ir kultūriniai kontaktai Vikingų laikotarpiu, atnešę esminių permainų abiems kultūroms. Vikingų epochos Meno salos runų įrašai savo forma, turiniu bei kalbos ypatybėmis skiriasi nuo skandinaviškų runų korpuso. Šios salos runų įrašams įtakos turėjo Ogamo įrašų tradicija, dėl kurios runų tradicija suklestėjo Meno saloje Vikingų laikotarpiu. Vienas iš unikaliausių bruožų yra taip vadinamieji dvikalbiai runakmeniai, kur greta runų įrašo yra Ogamo įrašas, išraižytas ant akmens tuo pat metu kaip ir runos. Svarbus Meno salos runų įrašų skiriamasis bruožas – jų kalbiniai ypatumai. Viena vertus, runose gausu keltiškų vardų, antra vertus, galima pastebėti, jog senosios skandinavų kalbos gramatika gerokai pakitusi. Ištyrus runų įrašus matyti, kaip skandinavų kalbos gramatika keičiasi dvikalbėje visuomenėje. Antroje disertacijos dalyje aptariami keltiški elementai vienintelėje išlikusioje norn kalba užrašytoje „Baladėje apie Hildiną“, kuri buvo sukurta nuolat besikeičiančioje kalbinėje, socialinėje ir kultūrinėje aplinkoje. Jūrinės Šetlando ir Orknio salų visuomenės generavo įvairius pasakojimus, kurių motyvai ir elementai atkeliaudavo iš įvairių kraštų. „Baladė apie Hildiną“ yra neabejotinai vakarų skandinavų kilmės, tačiau joje aptinkama keltiškų motyvų. Baladės teksto analizė rodo, jog pasakojimo lygmenyje ji yra nemažai pasiskolinusi iš keltų pasakojamosios tradicijos. Ypač ryški „karaliaus ir deivės tema“. Tačiau jei ir būta...

This dissertation deals with Viking Age Celtic and Scandinavian language and cultural contacts which resulted in profound changes in both societies. Viking Age rune-stones found in the Isle of Man contain some exceptional features and in many ways diverge from the rest of the Scandinavian runic corpus. Presence of the Ogam tradition in the Isle of Man might have been one of the factors why rune-stones were so well accepted and flourished in the isle during the Viking Age. One of the most unique features is the presence of bilingual runic-Ogam inscriptions which were carved at the same time as runic inscriptions and not earlier. Linguistic research of the Manx rune-inscriptions revealed the influence of Celtic upon Scandinavian language. First of all, rune-inscriptions contain a lot of Celtic personal names. Besides, there are many cases of inflectional confusion that is likely to arise in a bilingual society. The second part of the dissertation discusses Celtic elements in the only surviving ballad in Norn language Hildinavisen, which seems to have been created in continually changing linguistic, social and cultural conditions. The marine societies of Shetland and Orkney Islands generated various stories, where motifs and elements traveled from various directions. Hildinavisen is certainly of West Scandinavian origin, but it contains or rather is adorned with Celtic motifs. The analysis of the text of Hildinavisen seems to indicate that in the level of the story Hildinavisen... [to full text]

Abstract (sommario):

Denna uppsats är gjord på uppdrag av Tarbit Shipping som år 2011 konverterade sin tankbåt M/T Bit Viking från konventionell drift på tjockolja till LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas).Uppdraget som gavs var att upprätta en tränings manual till fartyget då det är ett krav från IMO (International Maritime Organization). Manualen skrevs i 3 st huvuddelar Kategori A, B och C. Kategori A är till för att manskap ombord ska få en kännedom om gasen och säkerhet runt den, Kategori B är skriven till däcksbefäl där det krävs en större kännedom om gasen och Kategori C är till för maskinbefäl. Manualen finns nu ombord på fartyget och på rederi kontoret för utbildning av nypåmönstrad personal och fortlöpande utbildning av ordinarie personal. Manualen är ett resultat på tolkning av IMO´s IGF kod (ANNEX11. RESOLUTION MSC.285(86)) där det står riktlinjer för säkerheten ombord på fartyg med maskiner som drivs på naturgas.
This paper has been produced as a result of an assignment set by Tarbit Shipping which 2011converted one of their product tanker ships from M/T Bit Viking its original heavy fuel oil toLNG (Liquefied Natural Gas). The assignment was to establish a training manual to the shipaccording to IMO´s (International Maritime Organization) IGF code. The manual is written inthree main parts Category A, Category B and Category C. Category A is directed at ratingsand cadets and focuses on gas and safety procedures, Category B is directed at deck officersand focuses on gas, whilst Category C is directed at engine officers and, similar to Category Baims at increasing knowledge levels for engineers. The manual is now located onboard theship and at the company’s office for education of new personnel and for continued educationfor personnel onboard. The manual is a result on an interpretation of IMO´s IGF code(ANNEX11. RESOLUTION MSC.285(86)), in which guidelines are laid out for vesselsfueled by natural gas.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis seeks to explore changes in patterns of Mercian kingship from c. 633 to 796. It is argued that during this period Mercian kings acquired more functions and developed a form of kingship which was more powerful, more centralized and more invasive than hitherto. It is suggested that these changes occurred as a consequence of the adoption by Mercian kings of Rome-focused Christianity. An interdisciplinary methodology has been adopted, using a range of literary and non-literary sources, to produce four case studies which examine different aspects of Mercian kingship at different periods. The first case study makes a broad overview of the career and kingship of Penda. The second explores the changing relationships between religion, ethnicity and group identity. The third case study considers the role of the emporium at London in the creation of a more integrated supra-regional elite. The final study examines Offa's Dyke, and considers the significance of that monument for visions of Mercian royal ideology. While it is accepted that the surviving sources are few and fragmentary, it is suggested that a re-examination of them can do much to advance our understanding of Mercian kingship. It is argued that the pre-conversion Mercian hegemony presided over by Penda was a political. system which depended on the existence of multiple kingships, loosely tied together by personal links between kings. It is suggested that the introduction of Rome-oriented Christianity not only provided Mercian rulers with mechanisms making centralization possible, but also with new paradigms of kingship which made it seem desirable. Using models drawn from social anthropology, it is argued that Penda's hegemony was ethnically and religiously pluralist in composition, and that the diverse elites of this system were bound together by non-ethnic forms of group identity. It is suggested that the ideological entailments of conversion ultimately resulted in the development of more exclusive, more self-consciously 'English' forms of kingship. Finally, an attempt is made to position the findings of this thesis in the mainstream of research on pre-viking Mercia. It is argued that for much of the twentieth century, eighth-century Mercian kingship was seen as an important stage in the development of a unified English kingship. More recently, it is suggested revisionist insights have resulted in a downgrading of visions of 'the Mercian Supremacy', which is now seen as less impressive than earlier scholars maintained, and essentially ephemeral. It is argued that, in rejecting earlier, overstated models, revisionism has perhaps gone too far. No attempt is made to reoccupy pre-revisionist positions, but it is proposed that eight-century Mercian kingship was more significant than modern interpretations allow.

Abstract (sommario):

The field of human-animal relations is a growing area of research, and with regard to the Viking Age the majority of this research has concerned the Scandinavian homelands. Scotland has been recognised as important in the widespread migration of the Vikings, yet subject to little theoretical enquiry. This thesis represents the first in-depth social zooarchaeological evaluation of the Scottish material to determine to what extent animals played a structuring role in the settlement of Scotland, and the ways in which the Vikings in Scotland understood and negotiated their world. A further aim was to assess the potential of a social zooarchaeological study in understanding Viking identity in Scotland, and to determine the use of animals as social expression in the context of the wider socio-political climate of Scotland. A review of faunal assemblages from published and unpublished settlement sites across the Norse inhabited regions of Scotland was conducted and a comprehensive database of Viking burials compiled, to characterise the nature of human-animal relationships in Scotland, comparable to the Scandinavian homelands and Late Iron Age Scotland. Data analysis highlighted the complexity of human-animal relationships, illustrating that such relationships were transported, acquired and developed, and for which there was regional variation. Through applying a theoretical approach, it is concluded that human-animal relations functioned in strategic ways. Thus, this thesis addresses wider questions concerning continuity, interaction, disruption and the importation of tradition into Scandinavian Scotland whereby animals were a means of negotiating and defining human-human relations.

Den här studien handlar om flerspråkig identitet ur ett narrativt perspektiv genom språkporträtt. Studien speglar några flerspråkiga ungdomar och deras familjers perspektiv på hur de ser på flerspråkig identitet. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur tre flerspråkiga familjers gymnasieungdomar som har två eller fler modersmål i kombinationen svenska och antingen tyska, franska eller spanska upplever sin flerspråkiga identitet. Utöver familjernas gemensamma språk visar det att i språkporträtten tar även engelskan stor plats. Genom att använda ett språkporträtt försöker den här studien att kartlägga hur gymnasieungdomarna använder språken som de har i sin språkrepertoar och hur de förhåller sig till dem som en del av sin flerspråkiga identitet. Studiens resultat visar att ungdomarna är mycket medvetna om sina språkliga resurser och att föräldrarna till ungdomarna i studien medvetet har planerat för barnens flerspråkighet, en medveten familjespråkspolicy i praktiken. Föräldrarna har därmed bidragit till en medveten och öppen flerspråkig identitet hos sina barn med viss variation mellan individerna inom familjen.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis has reviewed two aspirationssystems at Viking Malt in Halmstad, Sweden. Based on this different optimization solutions has been developed for aspirationssystem 180 and 901. Viking Malt has several of plants and is the fifth largest producer of malt in Europe. As a company they constantly strive to be an energy efficient company to compete on the market. During 2015 over 200 00 ton of malt was delivered from the plant, enough to brew 1,6 billion liter of beer. From the corn reception to the finished malt, large portions of dust are created. This has to be taken care of to avoid danger of fire and to ensure a clean product. This is achieved by exhaust fans who aspirate the dusty air from the process steps where its needed, with big filters the dust is separated from the air. In the plant frequency converters are installed on aspirationsline 180 and 901 these are currently set to have the same max and min frequency, which means no speed control is currently active on the fans. The reason behind this is because consultants have not come up with any concrete solution proposals to Viking Malt so the issue has been put aside. To investigate the aspirationssystem and to clarify the problem with the frequency converters has measurements of airflow and tests with the frequency converters been done. Through treatment of earlier investigations of the aspirationssystem, discussion with the employees and new survey efficiency proposals has been identified. From calculations and investigations of the aspirationssystem three different options has been presented. The thesis has designed an action plan that Viking Malt may use as a tool to identify which option is the most relevant.
Examensarbetet har systemgranskat och bearbetat fram optimeringsmöjligheter på Viking Malts aspirationssystem på linje 180 och 901 i Halmstad. Viking Malt har ett flertal anläggningar i Norden och är Europas femte största maltproducent. Företaget strävar ständigt efter att effektivisera driften och kvalitén för att kunna vara konkurrenskraftig på marknaden. Under 2015 levererades över 200 000 ton malt från anläggningen vilket skulle räcka till att brygga 1 600 000 m3 öl. Från kornmottagning till färdigställd malt sker det stora dammbildningar som måste ledas bort för att undvika explosionsrisker och försämring av produktens kvalité. Detta uppnås med hjälp av frånluftsfläktar som aspirerar dammfylld luft ifrån processteg där behovet finns, och med hjälp av aspiration kan damm extraheras från luften. I anläggningen sitter det frekvensomformare på linje 180 och 901 som idag har samma max och min frekvens vilket betyder att det inte sker någon varvtalsreglering på fläktarna. Anledning till denna åtgärd är att aspirationen inte fungerar som den ska. För att undersöka aspirationsanläggningen och klargöra problematiken med styrningen har mätningar av luftflödet samt test av frekvensomformare utförts. Genom studera tidigare utredningar, ny kartläggning av aspirationslinjerna och diskussion bland personal har optimeringsförslag identifierats. Utifrån tryckfallskalkyler av aspirationslinjerna 180 och 901 har tre ändringsförslag presenterats. Examensarbetet har även utformat en handlingsplan som Viking Malt kan använda som ett verktyg för de åtgärder som blir relevant. Med implementering av något av de tre åtgärdsförslagen blir systemet anpassat efter erfordrat tryckfall, detta innebär att produktkvalitet kan säkerställas. Utöver detta finns det möjlighet till energibesparing upp till 23,2 MWh/år beroende av optimeringsåtgärd.

Buchanan, Courtney Helen. "Viking artefacts from southern Scotland and northern England : cultural contacts, interactions, and identities in peripheral areas of Viking settlement". Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2012. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3391/.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis explores the portable, non-indigenous material culture strongly related, but not exclusive, to one specific ethnic group in the medieval period. It is based on the idea that people from different cultural backgrounds cannot come into contact with each other without their identities being altered in some significant way, and these altered identities will be expressed in their material culture. During the period c.800-1100, the Vikings initiated contact with the inhabitants of Britain, first by raiding and attacking, then by trading and settling amongst the local populations. Whereas most research of Viking and local interaction has focused on Viking settlements in the Northern and Western Isles or the Anglo-Scandinavian town of York, this thesis focuses on the peripheral areas of Viking political control: northern England and southern Scotland. It is in these regions where there are increasing amounts of evidence of Viking activities and interactions with the local peoples. Three key research questions are asked of the materials found within the study area: 1) how and why did items of ‘Viking’ material culture enter regions outside of the centres of traditional Viking settlements? 2) How and why were these items used to conduct meaningful contacts and interactions with those people already inhabiting this land? 3) How and why were identities constructed in these regions where multiple cultural traditions came into contact with one another? A multifaceted approach is adopted to answer these questions. First, the historical sources are analysed for different contexts of contact and interaction between Vikings and non- Vikings in the study area. Second, a postcolonial approach to studying the interactions between groups was adopted in order to move away from simplistic assimilation or acculturation narratives where one group subsumes the other. Rather, this approach argues for the creation of a new social dimension in which people’s actions, routines, and identities are altered in order to negotiate and thrive within the new cultural landscape. It is argued that the hybridization seen in many of the artefacts, as well as other sources utilised throughout the thesis, is the material articulation of this new space. Finally, this thesis includes data recovered through the Portable Antiquities Scheme and Treasure Trove Scotland in addition to excavated finds. In the study region, 499 items are identified and catalogued as Viking or hybrid-Viking, many of which have no archaeological context as they are stray or metal-detected finds. Through the course of searching, three major concentrations were identified along major maritime inlets: the Solway Firth, the River Clyde, and the Forth and Tay Basins. These concentrations were turned into three case-study areas based upon concentrations of finds as well as the contextual aids of historical sources, place-names, and stone sculpture. The first case study examines the Solway Firth and determines that the Vikings were a very important part of the population, and a hybridized society is seen there. The second case study of Strathclyde also determines that the Vikings were active there; the evidence indicates smaller, more concentrated communities of Vikings that integrated into the British population of the region. The final case study of the Forth and Tay basins establishes the Vikings as important actors there, although not only in the traditional view of their attacks opening up the Pictish throne for Cinaed mac Alpin. The Vikings settled in this region and aided the formation of the new kingdom of Alba. Overall, it is shown that Vikings were much more active on the peripheries of their political establishments than has previously been realised. It is also demonstrated that people in contact with others from different cultural backgrounds will alter their routines, practices, materials, and identities in order to negotiate the new social sphere that is created by such interaction. The key to understanding this negotiation is recognising the multiple contexts in which people interact and that each situation will result in different hybridized routines, materials, and identities that are unique to that specific context.

Abstract (sommario):

This paper deals with how a company in the experience industry is using a new way to communicate with their customers and how that communication can affect the image of the company's brand. Furthermore, the paper addresses how storytelling and community is created and can be used to improve the communication with customers and with the new communication medium. The selected firm for the paper is ferry company Viking Line. Year 2008 was the collaboration with Channel 5 that they could make a TV series depicting life on board the Viking Line's cruise ship M / S Cinderella. TV series which was named the Ferry has been aired on Channel 5 since autumn 2008 and has been seen by about half million viewers per episode. In the chapter "Background" provides a general description of how communication within the marketing has changed and what risks there might exist with the Ferry as a means of communication. In the chapter "Method" provides a description of the essay writer’s procedures and the research method used. A qualitative research method was chosen for the purpose of the paper. In the Theory section the reader may take note of the selected theories. These theories deal with communications with the traditional means of communication, storytelling and community, image and brand theory. Theory section followed since the empirical material writers has collected. The empirical material consists of secondary sources collected on the TV series Ferry and primary sources consist of interviews with Viking Line, Channel 5, Metronome, and a PR expert.

In the analysis section theoretical and empirical material are analyzed and discussed. The writers assumed their chosen theories and compared these with the empirical evidence he has collected, a comparison between traditional communications and the ferry as a means of communication have been made. The results of the survey show that the ferry as a means of communication differs from traditional marketing communications.

Abstract (sommario):

The aim of this thesis is to study Viking Eggeling’s artwork Diagonal Symphony together with Eggeling’s own art theoretical writings. This method of reading Eggeling’s art theoretical writings with the aim to try and create a deeper understanding of his art and especially Diagonal Symphony is a new approach in Eggeling’s art historical discourse. The thesis starts with a description of how the field of art history has understood Eggeling and his art primarily through art historical research aimed at Hans Richter. I then argue that the method of understanding Eggeling’s art through his own art historical writings is a way to create an independent understanding about Eggeling’s art away from it’s explanatory relation with Richter. To understand and to analyze the relation between Eggeling’s art and art theoretical writings the thesis theoretical viewpoint are a system theoretical one with a special focus on cybernetics and the terms feedback and control. The thesis then establish that Eggeling, in his art and art theoretical writings, tried to compose his own method for creating the form figures we can see appearing in Diagonal Symphony and that this method of creating form was a way for Eggeling to control his creativity and to build up a structured system of forms. The study then concludes with the statement that Eggeling worked with the movie and the scrolls Diagonal Symphony as artistic material formations of a system of forms called Diagonal Symphony and that the system of forms called Diagonal Symphony is the result of Eggeling’s systematic method to generate form in a structured and organised way.

Abstract (sommario):

Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka hur ett nyproducerat batterihybridfartyg av PSV-typ (plattform supply vessel) bör operera för att uppnå en så energieffektiv drift som möjligt utan att äventyra säkerhet eller redundanskrav. Att framföra ett fartyg så energieffektivt som möjligt är något som är av hög prioritet till sjöss, dels ur ett ekonomiskt perspektiv men även ur miljösynpunkt, då sjöfartsbranschen ständigt arbetar för en minskad miljöpåverkan. Även nyproducerade fartyg, byggda med modern teknik som ger goda förutsättningar för en energieffektiv drift ställer stora krav på att det tydligt framgår hur fartyget ska framföras för att nyttja fartygets fulla potential och uppnå optimal drift. För att ta fram procedurer över hur fartygen bör operera har loggade och teoretiska data från fartyget Coey Viking sammanställts, och presenteras i samråd med Viking Supply Ships. Resultatet innefattar generatorkombinationers specifika bränsleförbrukning, lågtrycks-dual-fuel-motorers generella miljöpåverkan med avseende på metanslip och fartygets loggade effektförbrukning till kaj. Resultatet visade att hög generatorlast resulterade i optimal specifik bränsleförbrukningen, att låga generatorlaster genererade stort metanslip samt att en förändrad elkraftstyrning tillsammans med fartygets energilagring möjliggör en förbättrad drift till kaj med en minskad miljöpåverkan. Arbetet öppnar upp för vidare forskning inom optimal peak-shaving-effekt, hur energilagringens storlek påverkar driftsmöjligheter och hur peak-shaving till kaj på ett stabilt sätt reglertekniskt bör styras.
The purpose of this undertaking was to investigate a new built battery-hybrid-vessel of PSV-type (platform supply vessel) and its operational ability to achieve the most energy efficient operation without jeopardizing safety or redundancy. The energy efficient operation of a vessel is of great priority in the maritime industry, not only because of economical profit but also based on environmental perspective, since the maritime industry is constantly aiming towards a decreased environmental impact. Newly built vessels containing modern technology opens up great opportunity in achieving energy efficient operation, though it sets high standard regarding correct operation of the vessel to use its full potential and achieve optimal running. To be able to present procedures regarding the vessel’s operation, logged and theoretical data from the vessel Coey Viking has been compiled and is presented in consultation with Viking Supply Ships. The results refered to different generator combination’s specific fuel consumption, the general environmental impact of low pressure dual fuel engines with respect to methane slip and the vessel’s logged power consumption in port. The result indicated that a high generator load resulted in optimal specific fuel consumption, while low generator loads resulted in poor specific fuel consumption together with an increase in methane slip. The result also showed that the vessel’s energy storage together with a change in the PMS-system (Power Management System) would enable an improved power supply in port with shore connection. The paper raises questions to be answered in further research regarding optimal peak-shaving effect, what impact the size of the energy storage would have on operational capability and how peak shaving in port with shore connection appropriately should be regulated.

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose to this thesis is to demonstrate the activity of the Viking presence, in North America. The research focuses on the use of stones, carved with runic inscriptions that have been discovered in Oklahoma, Maine, Rhode Island and Minnesota. The thesis discusses orthographic traits found in the inscriptions and gives evidence that links their primary use to fourteenth century Gotland. Also connecting the stones to Gotland, is the presence of an unusual rune dubbed the Hooked X. This single rune has been the center of controversy since it was first discovered in Minnesota, 1898. Since that time, it has been discovered in connection with two of the other North American Rune Stones, Christopher Columbus and the Cistercian -Templars of Gotland. As of this year (2015), more of the Hooked X symbology has been discovered in Templar churches in Scotland and Portugal.

Abstract (sommario):

Europe is a region characterized by a long history of both settlement and resettlement. This study uses information from the haploid systems of the human genome in order to investigate the presence of population structure in Europe and discuss the mitigating effects of shared population history and the impact of evolutionary forces. By means of two kinds of data from the Y chromosome, the study first establishes patterns of diversity across the entirety of Europe. More in-depth analyses investigate the evolutionary effects of settlement and colonization on overall genetic diversity of populations. Finally, considering data from the entire control region sequence, an effort is made to estimate patterns of mitochondrial diversity and compare their import to that of the Y chromosome.

Abstract (sommario):

This study re-analyses and re-interprets the Scandinavian occupation of England during the period AD 878-954, which has hitherto been dominated by traditional interpretations based on partial and at times unreliable historical sources. Interpretations of the area commonly referred to as the ‘Danelaw' largely focus on the role of the City of York and the ‘Five Boroughs' of Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Nottingham and Stamford. The reliance on inevitably sparse Anglo-Saxon texts, whilst providing a chronological framework within which to work, has “streamlined” history, producing only a partial picture of the period. Many aspects of this traditional history have been challenged in recent years. Indeed, even terminology traditionally used, such as the word ‘Danelaw', has been subject to investigation and revision. Our archaeological knowledge, however, has not always been applied to these advances and a number of long-established interpretational models and frameworks remain unmodified or unchallenged. This project addresses the Scandinavian occupation through the study of conflict, warfare and power in Viking Age England. A wide range of data was studied, with the integration of this into GIS allowing evidence to not only be analysed within individual topographic contexts, but also on a landscape-wide scale. The study not only provides a re-analysis of the Viking Age English landscape, but highlights new and exciting bodies of evidence from which future research may derive. The data revealed that whilst some aspects of conflict, such as battle, are thus far not represented archaeologically, territorial consolidation, socio-political and religious changes within a context of endemic warfare can be identified. The study suggests a number of potential avenues of research through which our knowledge of the Viking Age might be augmented.

Abstract (sommario):

När vikingatiden kommer på tal, leds tankarna ofta osökt till Birka. För även om Birka låg på en ö i Mälaren, så var det allt annat än isolerat. Istället ingick Birka i ett komplext nätverk som täckte såväl nära bygder som fjärran stränder. Därav följer att nyckeln till vår förståelse av Mälardalens vikingatid ofta finns i Birka. Men även det motsatta gäller, och ibland behöver arkeologer titta åt andra håll för att uppnå en bättre förståelse av Birka. Detta ömsesidiga förhållande ska illustreras med hjälp av ett båtgravsfynd från Turinge i Södermanland.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis project is a vision of an identity building in Gothenburg, situated on the pier called Bananpiren. The purpose of the project is to create interest and stimulate discussions around the place and the building.In order to gain inspiration of what such a place can contain and express, a number of similar projects have been analysed, for example the Sydney Opera and the Yokohama International Port Terminal.A number of suggestions was then created and analysed, all of which are presented in chronological order in order to show the rejections and the developed designs that resulted in the final formation to proceed with.The result was finalised in a number of presentation images of the project that can be used by Cullbergs Arkitektkontor AB when presenting the project.

Examensarbetet är en vision till en identitetsbyggnad i Göteborg belägen på Bananpiren. Idén med projektet är att väcka intresse och skapa diskussion över platsen och byggnaden.För att få inspiration över vad en sådan här plats kan innehålla och förmedla har liknade projekt analyserats, till exempel Sydneyoperan och Yokohama international port terminal.Under genomförandet har en mängd förslag testats och analyserats, här redovisas i kronologisk ordning hur de olika förslagen har utvecklats eller förkastats innan vi kom fram till en slutlig utformning att jobba vidare på.Resultatet ledde till att Cullbergs Arkitektkontor AB fick en mängd presentationsbilder över projektet som de kan använda sig av i presentationer av projektet.

Abstract (sommario):

Viking Line har bedrivit kryssningstrafik på norra Östersjön sedan 1959. Idag konkurrerar företaget om passagerarna med ett flertal andra rederier på Östersjön. Östersjörederierna står för cirka tio procent av den totala konferensmarknaden i Sverige och för rederierna utgör konferenskunderna en mycket lönsam kundgrupp både ekonomiskt och profilmässigt. Konferensbranschen är en väldigt personalintensiv verksamhet där det förekommer mycket kundkontakt. För denna bransch spelar intern marknadsföring en betydelsefull roll då personalens kundinställning och kompetens är av stor vikt för kundernas kvalitetsupplevelse. Då denna marknad är mättad och det råder stor konkurrens om kunderna är den interna marknadsföringen extra vikig. För att skapa god kundinställning och kompetens hos personalen är det viktigt att kommunikationen fungerar tillfredställande i hela företaget.

Syftet för denna uppsats är att undersöka olika uppfattningar om hur den interna marknadsföringen fungerar och huruvida den leder till ökad tjänstekvalitet i ett tjänsteföretag. Uppsatsen baseras på en kvalitativ studie bestående av intervjuer med ledning, mellanchef och konferensvärdar på Viking Line. Intervjuresultaten analyseras utifrån valda teorier med hjälp av en Gap- analys. Detta för att se om uppfattningar och åsikter angående den interna marknadsföringen skiljer sig åt mellan ledning och personal inom Viking Line. Uppsatsens resultat påvisar att det finns skillnader i uppfattning om hur den interna marknadsföringen fungerar inom Viking Lines konferensverksamhet mellan ledning, mellanchef och personal. Resultatet visar också att intern marknadsföring leder till ökad tjänstekvalitet och att Viking Line genom att förbättra sin interna marknadsföring kan öka tjänstekvaliteten för sina konferenskunder.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

The aim of this thesis is the visual analysis of the corpus of Viking Age Scandinavian memorial stones that are decorated with figural images. The thesis presents an overview of the different kinds of images and their interpretations. The analysis of the visual relationships between the images, ornamentation, crosses, and runic inscriptions identifies some tendencies in the visual hierarchy between these different design elements. The contents of the inscriptions on runestones with images are also analysed in relation to the type of image and compared to runestone inscriptions in general. The main outcome of this analysis is that there is a correlation between the occurrence of optional elements in the inscription and figural images in the decoration, but that only rarely is a particular type of image connected to specific inscription elements.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis presents the discovery of the first luminous z & 6.5 quasars in the VISTA kilo-degree Infrared Galaxy Survey (VIKING). After some basic quality control, quasar selection is investigated via use of initial data supplementedwith detailed modelling of the photometric and spatial distributions of stars of spectral type M, L and T, which are known to be the cause of significant contamination in quasar colour selection spaces. Optimised selection constraints are placed on detection significance and morphology and the performance of a traditional colour selection technique is compared to a Bayesian model comparison technique. The latter is found to offer a ∼10 per cent gain in completeness over traditional colour selection. Quasar candidates are ranked via Bayesian model comparison and a subset of the highest ranked objects are put forward for follow-up imaging. In June 2011, 44 high-z quasar candidates underwent deep optical i- and z- band imaging on the ESO NTT. Just 6 of these candidates were found to have optical colours consistent z & 6.5 quasars. Spectroscopic follow-up of these objects is ongoing, but thus far three new quasars have been discovered at redshifts of z=6.5, 6.7, 6.9. This discovery rate is consistentwith zero evolution in the rate of decline in quasar space density from z & 6.4. This differs fromthe latest results from UKIDSS. Further results expected from these and other surveys will begin to constrain the true nature of quasar space density evolution in the near future. The discovery of three z ≥ 6.5 quasars in VIKING is a significant highlight in the first year of VISTA science operations. These quasars will remain important probes of the high-z universe throughout the next decade.

Ten, Harkel Aleida Tessa. "Lincoln in the Viking age : a 'town' in context". Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2011. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/14545/.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis investigates the development of Lincoln in the period c. 870-1000 AD. Traditional approaches to urban settlements often focus on chronology, and treat towns in isolation from their surrounding regions. Taking Lincoln as a case study, this PhD research, in contrast, analyses the identities of the settlement and its inhabitants from a regional perspective, focusing on the historic region of Lindsey, and places it in the context of the Scandinavian settlement. Developing an integrated and interdisciplinary approach that can be applied to datasets from different regions and time periods, this thesis analyses four categories of material culture - funerary deposits, coinage, metalwork and pottery - each of which occur in significant numbers inside and outside Lincoln. Chapter 1 summarises previous work on late Anglo-Saxon towns and introduces the approach adopted in this thesis. Chapter 2 provides a discussion of Lincoln's development during the Anglo-Saxon period, and introduces the datasets. Highlighting problems encountered during past investigations, this chapter also discusses the main methodological considerations relevant to the wide range of different categories of material culture that stand central to this thesis, which are retrieved through a combination of intrusive and non-intrusive methods under varying circumstances. Chapters 3-6 focus on funerary deposits, coinage, metalwork and pottery respectively, through analysis of distribution patterns and the impact of changes in production processes on the identity of Lincoln and its inhabitants. It is argued that a straightforward distinction between 'town' and 'country' is too simplistic. Viking- ; Age Lincoln was firmly embedded within the surrounding region, and neither Lincoln nor Lindsey was a homogenous entity. The formation of Lincoln's 'urban' identity was the outcome of changes in late ninth- and tenth-century socio-political structures, many of which had been set in motion centuries before the Scandinavian settlement.
