When Ronja Became Ronia : A Comparative Study of the Style of Astrid Lindgren's Ronja Rövardotter & Two of Its Translations
No full textAstrid Lindgren is arguably the most famous Swedish author of all times, known for her children’s books about Pippi Longstocking, the Brothers Lionheart, Ronia the Robber’s Daughter, and many more. Subsequently, her works have been translated into over a hundred languages. In Sweden her books are recognized for their peculiar, playful language, and immersive imagination. This paper is examining how that style of writing is translated to other languages. Specifically, Lindgren’s last novel Ronja Rövardotter (1981) and its translations to English, Ronia the Robber’s Daughter (1985), and Dutch, Ronja de Roversdochter (1982), are compared according to the particular elements that the novel uses to build its own unique feeling: the style of the narrator; the language of the characters; the names; and the illustrations. In the source text these four aspects collaborate to create a medieval fairy tale-like atmosphere, which especially is accomplished by the transformative language which combines older colloquialisms and dialectic words with a poetic phrasing, which is simultaneously unique for this literary work and deeply rooted in Swedish tradition. This is difficult to properly translate to other languages, as it is built upon playfulness with a certain language and culture. Therefore, even though both translations are perfectly valid and retell the story adequately, they both are incapable of fully translating the style of the original. Besides that, other (more deliberate) changes are resulting in a different reading experience – i.e., the inclusion of illustrations, the narrator’s oral (original)/textual (translated) language, and whether Ronia flees from wild ‘vittror’ (north-Swedish gnome-like creatures), harpies, or bird–witches. Altogether, the English Ronia and the Dutch Ronja are significantly different from the Swedish Ronja, with their own styles, but attributed to the same original author

Yleisötyö tanssiteatterissa : kummiluokkaprojekti Ronja Ryövärintytär-teoksesta
No full textTanssiteatteri MD on Tampereella toimiva ammattitanssiteatteri. Syyskaudella 2012 Tanssiteatteri MD:ssä toteutettiin yleisötyöprojekti tamperelaisten koululaisten kanssa. Yhteensä yksitoista kummiluokaksi ilmoittautunutta koululuokkaa pääsi seuraamaan Astrid Lindgrenin kirjaan perustuvan Ronja Ryövärin-tytär-tanssiteoksen valmistumista ja harjoituksia. Kummiluokkien oppilaat tapasivat taiteellisen työryh-män jäseniä ja saivat esittää omia kommentteja, ideoita ja kritiikkiä teoksen taiteellisista ratkaisuista ja toteutustavasta. Lopulta kaikki kummiluokat pääsivät seuraamaan valmiin Ronja Ryövärintyttären en-nakkonäytöstä.
Opinnäytetyöni käsittelee teattereissa tehtävää yleisötyötä yleisellä tasolla sekä Tanssiteatteri MD:n kummiluokkaprojektia. Tutkimustavoitteeni oli selvittää kummiluokkayhteistyöhön osallistuneiden lasten kokemuksia ja mielipiteitä projektista sekä heidän näkemyksiään tanssiteatterista. Käytän työssäni teoriataustana kirjallista selvitystä teattereissa tehtävästä yleisötyöstä. Työni ensimmäisessä osassa kerron, mitä yleisötyö on, miten sitä tehdään, ketkä sitä tekevät ja mihin asioihin yleisötyöllä pyritään. Kerron tanssiteattereissa tehtävän yleisötyön erityispiirteistä. Kerron myös lasten ja nuorten kanssa tehtävän yleisötyön merkityksistä ja tavoitteista.
Tutkimukseni kummiluokkayhteistyöstä perustuu havainnointiin, tarkkailuun sekä kirjallisiin ja suullisiin haastatteluihin. Tarkkailin kahta kummiluokkaa näiden vieraillessa tanssiteatterilla ja myöhemmin toteu-tin luokkien oppitunneilla kirjalliset kyselyt sekä suulliset ryhmähaastattelut ja keskustelut. Nämä kaksi luokkaa olivat Olkahisen koulun viides luokka ja Tesoman yläasteen kahdeksannen luokan ilmaisutaidon ryhmä. Kummiluokkaprojektiin osallistuneet oppilaat pääsivät tutustumaan tanssiteatteriin ja nykytanssiin pintaa syvemmältä. Heille selkeytyi muun muassa miten esitykset toteutetaan, ketkä tanssi-teatterissa työskentelevät sekä miten tanssin keinoin on mahdollista ilmaista ja kertoa tarinoita. Lapset ja nuoret saivat itselleen kokemuksen ja elämyksiä, jotka toivottavasti kannustavat heitä tanssiteatterin pariin myöhemmin. Lapsille tärkeää oli se, että he saivat sanoa oman mielipiteensä ja aikuiset kuuntelivat heitä. Projekti yhdistettiin koulutyöhön kummiluokkien opetuksessa. Tanssiteatteri MD sai arvokasta tietoa koululaisilta suorana palautteena koskien Ronja Ryövärintytär-teoksen toteutustapoja. Tutkimukseni tuloksia voidaan hyödyntää, kun jatkossa tehdään yleisötyöprojekteja lasten ja nuorten kanssa.Dance Theatre MD is professional dance theatre in Tampere. During autumn 2012 Dance Theatre MD co-operated together with schools in Pirkanmaa region providing children a possibility to follow how dance production is made. Eleven school classes between first grade and high school had chance to see dance practise of Ronia, the Robber’s Daughter, dance production based on author Astrid Lindgren’s book. Pupils followed dance practises and had conversation with dancers and choreographer. They also met other professionals working in dance theatre, for example costume designer and set decorator. Dance theatre was hoping to get comments, ideas and critic from children. This kind of activity is called audience education or audience development. The aim of my bachelor’s thesis was to find out children’s opinions about this audience education project and their thoughts about dance theatre in general.
The first part of my thesis is based on literature. I will explain what kind of activities are audience educa-tion and audience development, how theatres do it, who does it and what kind of goals and possibilities audience development can offer to theatres. I will also tell more about audience development in dance theatre and audience education with children and youth.
In the second part of this thesis I will analyze results of the research I did with two school classes. My re-search was based on observation, written interviews and oral conversations. I chose two classes. First I did observation when classes were visiting in dance theatre. Afterwards I carried out interviews and con-versations during their school lessons.
Based on results of the research this audience education project provided these children new information about dance theatre and contemporary dance. They also got new inspiration for themselves. Telling their own opinions and having adults asking them was important to children. Personnel in Dance Theatre MD got important information from children about their artistic visions. This project was also combined to school work.
This research is helping Dance Theatre MD to develop audience education projects made with children and youth. Children and youth are the audience in the future. It is important to give them positive experiences about theatre and contemporary dance now

Tubular microdomains of Rab7-positive endosomes retrieve TrkA, a mechanism disrupted in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2B
No full textAxonal survival and growth requires signalling from tropomyosin receptor kinases (Trks). To transmit their signals, receptor-ligand complexes are endocytosed and undergo retrograde trafficking to the soma, where downstream signalling occurs. Vesicles transporting neurotrophic receptors to the soma are reported to be Rab7-positive late endosomes and/or multivesicular bodies (MVBs), where receptors localize within so-called intraluminal vesicles (herein Rab7 corresponds to Rab7A unless specified otherwise). Therefore, one challenging question is how downstream signalling is possible given the insulating properties of intraluminal vesicles. In this study, we report that Rab7-positive endosomes and MVBs retrieve TrkA (also known as NTRK1) through tubular microdomains. Interestingly, this phenotype is absent for the EGF receptor. Furthermore, we found that endophilinA1, endophilinA2 and endophilinA3, together with WASH1 (also known as WASHC1), are involved in the tubulation process. In Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2B (CMT2B), a neuropathy of the peripheral nervous system, this tubulating mechanism is disrupted. In addition, the ability to tubulate correlates with the phosphorylation levels of TrkA as well as with neurite length in neuronal cultures from dorsal root ganglia. In all, we report a new retrieval mechanism of late Rab7-positive endosomes, which enables TrkA signalling and sheds new light onto how neurotrophic signalling is disrupted in CMT2B. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper
Empathic Habits: Improving conscious use of professional empathy within design education
No full textEmpathy is one of the 8 design competences of the study Communication & Multimedia Design at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. However, there is a gap within the curriculum regarding actively teaching students what it means to be an empathic designer, and it has not been completely clear what it actually means to be an empathic designer. Based on my research, I came up with the following design goal: to help students use empathy consciously throughout their design projects. Within this context, I came up with the following design focus: Offering structure and clarity within the development of empathic abilities.Based on literary research, field research and designing by doing, I came up with my final concept: the Empathic Habits program. The Empathic Habits program clarifies the meaning of professional empathy in design, helps students reflect upon their own abilities, and helps them increase their abilities in an easy way At the start of the second year, CMD-students who join the program participate in their first Empathic Habits workshop. At this point, most students are not aware of what they have yet to learn; they are unconsciously incompetent. Before the workshop, students do an empathic abilities-test in which they are rated on 5 empathic sub-abilities. Together, these abilities make up what it means to be an empathic designer. At the start of the workshop they analyse their results: what are their strengths and weaknesses? In this introspection process, students move from unconscious incompetence to conscious incompetence. During the next part of the workshop, students get to practise their weakest empathic ability by interviewing each other. They are to use at least 3 mini-activity-cards corresponding with the empathic ability they are going to practise. These cards contain short, simple assignments which students can use in any user research setting. At the end of the first workshop, the students reflect upon what they have learned and how they want to further develop their empathic abilities. For students who join the follow-up program, it continues over the next 6-8 weeks with weekly or bi-weekly reflection sessions with fellow students and a teacher. Every week, they are to try new activities and reflect upon what works for them and why. By adding mini-activities to their repertoire one by one, they develop empathic habits, making them more empathic designers. They move from being consciously incompetent to consciously competent. Assuming students keep using the mini-activities, through the years that follow, the mini-activities will become second nature: they will become unconscious habits. In this process, students and/or graduates move from being consciously competent to unconsciously competent.Design for Interactio
Knowledge sharing from an employee perspective : Social factors effect on the spread of tacit knowledge at outsourcing
No full textABSTRACT Title: Knowledge sharing from an employee perspective- Social factors effect on the spread of tacit knowledge at outsourcing Level: Final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Author: Evelina Ödling and Ronja Zander Supervisor: Stig Sörling and Thomas Källquist Date: 2016 - January Aim: It has become increasingly common that organizations use external co-workers for temporary tasks and activities, that is, they choose to outsource parts of their operations. This has proven to be important to how the organizations knowledge capital is affected and, consequently, how knowledge is spread between the internal and external co-workers. Tacit knowledge is most affected by outsourcing, and there are social factors that affect co-workers motivation to share their knowledge. The purpose of this study is therefore to illustrate how knowledge is spread between internal and external co-workers with regard to tacit knowledge and social factors. Method: The study was conducted from a qualitative approach and a multiple case study which different types of employment have been studied. Social constructionism has implemented our theory of science and the hermeneutics the knowledge approach we decided to take account with the focus on interpretation and understanding. The empirical collection consists of semi-structured interviews with ten employees when we chose to proceed from an employee perspective. The theoretical framework builds on previous research about our area of interest and has acted as a base of our interview guide. The interview guide has then been used as a template to categorize empirical data and to analyze the empirical outcome. Result & Conclusions: We have according to the social factors in this study noticed that reflexitivity and the socio-psychological factor, focusing on the internal motivation is what affects the spread of the tacit knowledge between internal and external co-workers.Suggestions for future research: When the research on knowledge sharing between different forms of employment are limited, we suggest that further research should focus on studying different project groups or teams to create a deeper qualitative study. Contribution of the thesis: By highlighting the spread of knowledge between internal and external co-workers and converging multiple social factors in the same study, we have provided a theoretical contribution to the current research. The study has also generated a distribution pattern that shows that the internal co-workers spread their knowledge to both internal and external co-workers, while spread from external to internal is weak. This can be classified as the study´s practical contribution and the measures that organizations may need to use so that knowledge are spread between all co-workers. Key words: Outsourcing, knowledge sharing, external/internal co-workers, tacit knowledge, social factorsSAMMANFATTNING Titel: Kunskapsspridning ur ett medarbetarperspektiv- Sociala faktorer och dess påverkan av den tysta kunskapens spridning vid outsourcing Nivå: C-uppsats i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Evelina Ödling och Ronja Zander Handledare: Stig Sörling och Thomas Källquist Datum: 2016 – Januari Syfte: Det har blivit allt vanligare att organisationer använder sig av externa medarbetare till temporära uppgifter och aktiviteter, det vill säga de väljer att outsourca delar av deras verksamheter. Detta har visat sig ha betydelse för hur organisationernas kunskapskapital påverkas och följaktligen hur kunskaper sprids mellan interna och externa medarbetare. Den tysta kunskapen påverkas mest av outsourcing och det finns sociala faktorer som påverkar medarbetarnas drivkraft till att dela med sig av sina kunskaper. Syftet med denna studie är därmed att belysa hur kunskap sprids mellan interna och externa medarbetare med avseende på tyst kunskap och sociala faktorer. Metod: Studien har genomförts ur en kvalitativ ansats och en multipel fallstudie där olika typer av anställningsformer har studerats. Socialkonstruktionismen har präglat vårt vetenskapsteoretiska synsätt och hermeneutiken den kunskapssyn vi valt att beakta med fokus på tolkning och förståelse. Den empiriska insamlingen består av semi-strukturerade intervjuer med tio medarbetare då vi valt att utgå från ett medarbetarperspektiv. Den teoretiska referensramen bygger på tidigare forskning kring vårt intresseområde och har fungerat som en grund för upplägget av vår intervjuguide. Intervjuguiden har sedan använts som mall för att kategorisera empirin och för att analysera det empiriska utfallet. Resultat & slutsats: Vi har utifrån de sociala faktorerna som belysts i denna studie uppmärksammat att det främst är reflexitivitet och den sociopsykologiska faktorn med inriktning på den inre motivationen som påverkar spridningen av den tysta kunskapen mellan interna och externa medarbetare.Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Då forskning kring kunskapsspridning mellan olika anställningsformer är begränsat föreslår vi att vidare forskning bör fokusera på att studera olika projektgrupper eller team för att skapa en djupare kvalitativ studie. Uppsatsens bidrag: Genom att belysa kunskapsspridning mellan interna och externa medarbetare och sammanstrålat flera olika sociala faktorer i samma studie har vi lämnat ett teoretiskt bidrag till den aktuella forskningen. Studien har även genererat ett spridningsmönster som visar att de interna medarbetarna sprider sina kunskaper till både interna och externa medan spridningen från extern till intern medarbetare är svag. Detta kan klassas som studiens praktiska bidrag och vilka åtgärder som organisationer kan behöva vidta för att kunskaper ska spridas mellan alla medarbetare.

Kastesormus arvokkaimmalle
No full textOpinnäytetyön tavoitteena on luoda kastesormus, korostaen henkilön tärkeyttä syntymästä lähtien. Suurim-pana ja vaikuttavimpana lähtökohtana kastesormuksen idealle toimii ajatus siitä, että henkilön kokema rak-kaus ja arvostus jo taaperoiässä vaikuttaa pysyvästi henkilön kehittyvään minäkuvaan, sekä toisten ihmisten kohteluun vielä aikuisiässäkin.
Kastesormuksen muotoilulla, niin symboliikalla suunnitteluvaiheessa, kuin myös konkreettisella sormuksen valmistuksella, tuodaan esille kehittymiseni korumuotoilun saralla suunnittelijana ja tekijänä.
Opinnäytetyössä käsitellään taaperoaikaa, vanhemmuutta, lapsille kohdistuvaa muotoilua, kummeja, kaste-lahjojen historiaa, symboliikkaa, luonnostelua, sekä valmistusvaihetta.The subject this thesis is to tell about the design process of a ring which is designed to be given to a baby for their baptism or name giving ceremony.
The aim of the design journey process is to remind how graceful every human is in the beginning of their life and to tell a baby girl how precious they are during the toddler years, which will help them to grow to be confident, independent and considerate as an adult.
The research focuses on the toddler years and parenting, influence of the society, the traditions and gifts of the godparents, baptism rings on the market, children's design, symbolism, sketching and jewelry making.
The thesis aims to show the learned talents and skills of the author through years as a designer and jewelry maker, whilst at the same time giving support to a growing person with a ring that is designed so that they remember how precious they are
Marketing and brand-building plan for Kotipalvelu MaaRia
No full textTämä opinnäytetyö kirjoitettiin avustamaan yritys Kotipalvelu MaaRiaa saamaan parempaa ymmärrystä siitä, kuinka aloittaa brändin rakentaminen, miten lisätä markkinointia ja kuinka lähestyä näitä yrittämisen osa-alueita pienenä yrityksenä. Kirjoittaja oli kiinnostunut pienen yrityksen auttamisesta, sillä he voivat tarvita tukea, varsinkin toiminnan alussa. Lisäksi palvelun brändäys voi olla vaikeampaa kuin tuotteen brändäys, mikä on tutkimuksen alueena mielenkiintoinen. Tutkimuksessa teorioita markkinointiin ja brändäykseen liittyen käytiin läpi, jotta saadaan asianmukaista taustatietoa myöhäisemmille suosituksille ja johtopäätöksille. Dataa vastaavantyyppisistä palveluista analysoitiin myös.
Opinnäytetyön sisältö koostuu teoriasta ja käytännönläheisestä tiedosta. Teoria, jota oli käytetty, oli tarkoin valittua tukeakseen opinnäytetyön aihetta ja rakentaakseen parempaa ymmärrystä nykyisistä haasteista. Käytännönläheinen tieto oli kerätty useammista lähteistä, sisältäen työn toimeksiantajan sosiaalisen median kanavat.
Tuloksena opinnäytetyöstä työn toimeksiantajalla pitäisi olla parempi visio heidän sosiaalisen median markkinointistrategian suhteen, sekä uusia ideoita brändin kehittämiseen. Opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena on antaa yritykselle uutta näkökulmaa markkinointiin sosiaalisessa mediassa.This thesis was written to assist company Kotipalvelu MaaRia to have a better understanding on how to start building a brand, how to increase marketing as a small enterprise and how they could approach it. The author was interested in helping a brand-new company, since they might need the assistance especially in the beginning of their operations. Also, branding a service might be harder than branding a product, which is interesting area of research. In the research, theories revolving around marketing and branding was discussed to have proper background for further recommendations and conclusion. Data regarding this type of services was analysed also.
The content of the thesis consists of theory and practical data. The theory that was used was carefully collected to support the topic of the thesis and to build better understanding of current challenges. The practical data was collected from several sources, including the commissioning company’s social media channels.
As a result from the thesis, the commissioning company should have better vision regarding their social media strategy and also have new ideas to develop their brand. The thesis is meant to give the company some new perspective when it comes to marketing in social media
