  • The Role of the Winger – from the Numbers to the Training Ground 2014-2015
    NORWEGIAN FOOTBALL F EDERATION UEFA A LICENCE THE ROLE OF THE WINGER - FROM THE NUMBERS TO THE TRAINING GROUND HUGO CARLOS PEREIRA O S L O , 2 0 1 4 - 2 0 1 5 Summary There is a different level of reflection that arises from the study of the numbers. As the football game structure becomes clearer and more defined in a theoretical point of view (will we ever understand its complexity?), the quest for the algorithms that could give us a better control over the outcome becomes more intense. The Norwegian Centre of Football Excellence has been working in the report Kompetansekrav i Rolle. Such report has been providing the clubs and coaches’ with an insight on top team and top players performances in the most high rated football competitions (Champions League, World Cup and European Championship). A large amount of match videos have been analyzed, discussed and dissected into the most pragmatic information possible. In Kompetansekrav i Rolle a vast and multi-faceted set of resources and references are integrated in an overview of each player position on the pitch, their role definition and specific competence. We decided to have the winger as the object of our study and analysis. The wingers are a cultural trait in Portuguese football. There are some characteristics in the role of the winger that provide that immediate rush of emotion when they are in the center of the game, reason why the role of the winger is one of the most exciting objects of study that we can choose in the modern football context.

Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL August 2014 Copyright by Jillian L. Kite 2014 ii iii ABSTRACT Author: Jillian L. Kite Title: The Eye of the Beholder: Ladino and Indigenous Pageantry in Neocolonial Guatemala Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Co-Advisors: Dr. Josephine Beoku-Betts and Dr. Mark Harvey Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2014 In this thesis I utilize a feminist case study method to explore gender, race, authenticity, and nationalism in the context of globalization. Each year, Guatemala conducts two ethno-racially distinct pageants – one indigenous, the other ladina. The indigenous pageant prides itself on the authentic display of indigenous culture and physiognomies. On the contrary, during the westernized ladina pageant, contestants strive to adhere to western beauty ideals beauty and cultural norms engendered by discourses of whiteness. However, when the winner advances to the Miss World Pageant, they misappropriate elements of Mayan culture to express an authentic national identity in a way that is digestible to an international audience. In the study that follows, I examine the ways in which national and international pageants are reflective of their iv respective levels of social and political conflict and how they serve as mechanisms of manipulation by the elite at the national and global levels. v THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: LADINO AND INDIGENOUS PAGEANTRY IN NEOCOLONIAL GUATEMALA I.

LABUTTA GALLEYSPROOFS2 2/21/2017 8:49 AM THE PRISONER AS ONE OF US: NORWEGIAN WISDOM FOR AMERICAN PENAL PRACTICE ABSTRACT The United States suffers from among the highest crime and recidivism rates in the world. This is in part due to its focus on retribution as the purpose of punishment and its high sentencing structure. Norway, on the other hand, has some of the lowest crime and recidivism rates and boasts Halden prison, which has been hailed as the world’s most humane prison. In Halden and other prisons, the Norwegian penal system applies the principle of normality. Under the principle of normality, Norway seeks the reintegration of its offenders into society. Its prisoners suffer fewer of the negative, unintended side effects of prison that isolate the prisoner from society, reinforce bad habits, and make reintegration upon release nearly impossible.

  • Images of Male Political Leaders in France and Norway
    Reconsidering Politics as a Man's World: Images of Male Political Leaders in France and Norway Anne Krogstad and Aagoth Storvik Researchers have often pointed to the masculine norms that are integrated into politics. This article explores these norms by studying male images of politics and power in France and Norway from 1945 to 2009. Both dress codes and more general leadership styles are discussed. The article shows changes in political aesthetics in both countries since the Second World War. The most radical break is seen in the way Norwegian male politicians present themselves. The traditional Norwegian leadership ethos of piety, moderation, and inward orientation is still important, but it is not as self- effacing and inelegant as it used to be. However, compared to the leaders in French politics, who still live up to a heroic leadership ideal marked by effortless superiority and seduction, the Norwegian leaders look modest. To explain the differences in political self-presentation and evaluation we argue that cultural repertoires are not only national constructions but also gendered constructions. Keywords: photographs; politics; aesthetics; gender; national cultural repertoires 1 When people think of presidents and prime ministers, they usually think of the incumbents of these offices.1 In both France and Norway, these incumbents have, with the exception of Prime Minister Edith Cresson in France and Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland in Norway, been male (and white). Researchers have often pointed to the masculine norms which are integrated into the expectations of what political officeholders should look like and be. Politics, it is claimed, is still very much a man’s world.2 However, maleness does not express general political leadership in a simple and undifferentiated way.

  • Comparing Trends in Prison Policy and Practice in England and Wales, and Norway
    Crimmigration in convergence? Comparing trends in prison policy and practice in England and Wales, and Norway Francis Pakes, University of Portsmouth, UK and Katrine Holt, Higher Executive Officer, Oslo politidistrikt, Norway. ABSTRACT The crimmigration landscape in the UK is much lamented. Reference is frequently made to the recent creation of dozens of new immigration offences and a sharp increase in the administrative detention of immigrations during the last two decades. In particular the prison has recently become an acute site of crimmigration with separate prisons for foreign nationals (Kaufman, 2013). Norway, on the other hand has traditionally been regarded an exception. The treatment of criminals and outsiders is described as inclusive and rehabilitative and focused on their successful return to society. However, here a distinction is also increasingly made between prisoners that will return to society and those that will not, most particularly foreign nationals. The UK and Norway are virtually the only countries in Western Europe with regular prisons that are exclusively reserved for foreign nationals. This article examines how the arguably most benign and the arguably most severe prison systems of Western Europe have come to mimic each other in this fashion. Wider implications for our theoretical understanding of the nature and loci of crimmigration policies are also considered. Introduction Any comparative research that is worth doing will reveal both similarity and difference (Pakes, 2010; Nelken, 2010)). Researchers are frequently inspired by seeking to understand why criminal justice arrangements in one jurisdiction can be so strikingly different from the next. But similarities can be as intriguing. This is in particular the case where highly dissimilar countries deploy highly similar approaches.
