The aim of this study was to find relations between parents background and education ina wider sense and their children's success in school. The study also includes genusdifferentiations, the family profile and residential areas influence on children's ability anddetermination to study.The study confirmed earlier research that children's success in school is to some extentdependant on their parents education. At the same time it was shown that in most casesthe children reached higher level of education than their parents ? also when they werepoorly educated or had emigrated from a country with big cultural differences. It was alsoevident that children with at least one Swedish parent (and presumably Swedish as theirmother tongue) reached higher educational levels than other children.Children from single parent families often stopped their school carrier after the 9-yearcompulsory class while children of dual parent families more often continued to university.In general, girls were more Affluent in school than the boys.

Within media and communications studies, questions of taste have often been associated with the dichotomy of high versus popular culture. The French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu has also used mass media products in his studies of class determined tastes and dispositions. In this paper the author uses the theoretical framwork of Bourdieu to examine aspects of social class and legitimate taste in the interior design magazine "Sköna Hem", a market leading magazine within it's genre of lifestyle magazines in Sweden. A specific type of feature article, where a real-life home is portrayed, is studied using the critical discourse analysis of Norman Fairclough. The homes portrayed are predominantly Affluent and display elements of conspicuous consumtion as mediated through legitimate taste and cultural capital.

Syftet med studien är att utifrån socialarbetares erfarenheter öka kunskapen om barn som far illa i ekonomiskt resursstarka familjer. Vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ metod bestående av semi-strukturerade intervjuer med fyra socialarbetare som har erfarenhet av att arbeta med ovannämnda målgrupp. De fyra teman som har behandlats under intervjuerna är: aktualisering av och arbete med barn och ungdomar som far illa i ekonomiskt resursstarka familjer, dominerande problematik, mötet mellan socialarbetare och familj samt socialarbetarens möjligheter.Enligt de intervjuade socialarbetarna har det framkommit att barn som far illa i ekonomiskt resursstarka familjer många gånger inte kommer till socialtjänstens och/eller fältteamets kännedom. Det finns flera anledningar till mörkertalet, bland annat att ekonomiskt resursstarka familjer har flera strategier att dölja missförhållanden. Även skola och grannar har en tveksam inställning inför att göra en orosanmälan när det gäller barn som far illa i ekonomiskt resursstarka familjer.

Sweden currently has no legislated regulation of lobbying, but the professional lobbyist can voluntarily subscribe to, among others, the professional code of standars created by the trade association of Public Relations, Precis. There is an ongoing discussion in Sweden to regulate lobbying, both in mass media and in politics. This study examines this debate and focus on which arguments there are for and against lobbying regulation in Sweden. It also attempts to identify the differences, if there are any, between left and rights parties with regards to their views on regulation of lobbying.Tha main method used was document analysis of parliamentary bills which have been raised concerning a lobbying regulation in Sweden. In the theory section, I include four different types of requirements placed on democratic lobbying (se for example Jaatinen 1998, Kitchen 1999, Larsson 2005, Möller 2009 and Naurin 2001).
