Syftet med studien var att beskriva arbetsalliansens funktion i familjebehandlares arbete ur behandlarens perspektiv för att bidra till kunskapsdiskussionen om arbetsalliansens betydelse inom socialt arbete. Studiens frågeställningar var vilken betydelse arbetsallians har för familjebehandlares uppdrag samt vilka faktorer som har betydelse för hur arbetsallians skapas, vidmakthålls och avslutas på ett bra sätt i arbetet med familjer. Med en fenomenologisk ansats genomfördes kvalitativa, halvstrukturerade intervjuer med sex familjebehandlare verksamma inom socialtjänsten. Respondenterna delgav nyanserade beskrivningar av arbetsalliansens betydelse för familjebehandling. Studiens resultat analyserades utifrån socialkonstruktionism, systemteori och anknytningsteori.

The Swedish and Icelandic women's movements, the Support Stockings and the Women's Alliance both had the goal to change their nation's women politics. The goal was to increase the low representation of women in their parliaments and to highlight women issues on the political agenda. The essay shows that the most important reason behind the will to form a party, was a new issue being disregarded by existing parties, although there is a considerable interest concerning the issue amongst society. While a party was formed on Iceland the Swedish equivalence did not occur. Even though only one party was formed, both movements achieved the same results.

Aware presence was to be a main theme through out the meeting.

The first aim of this study is to examine what the differences are between the Classic directive (directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts) and the Revised Classic directive (directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the council of 26 February 2014 on public procurement and repealing Directive 2004/18/EC) when it comes to social considerations in public procurement. The second aim is to examine if the revision of the directive has solved the prior existing problems regarding social considerations in public procurement.

Konsumenter har tämligen lite insyn i omständigheterna kring produktionen av de varor de dagligen konsumerar. I en värld av global handel är det till synes oundvikligt att människor och miljö blir lidande när privata, vinstdrivna företag bara har intresse för just vinst, och statliga myndigheter inte mäktar med, inte har intresse av, eller helt enkel inte anses legitima, att lägga sig i de förhållanden under vilka världshandeln sker. Mot bakgrund av detta har mängder av så kallade NGO:s (non-governmental organizations) bildats för att certifiera varor som lever upp till de specifika organisationernas krav. Dessa organisationer tävlar sedan om konsumenters och finansiärers gunst. Denna uppsats undersöker frågan; Hur framställer märkningsorganisationerna Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, KRAV och UTZ Certified den egna organisationens verksamhet och målsättning? Dessa fyra organisationer har av olika skäl valts ut som exempel i denna uppsats.

Internet's entry into our home has changed our communication capabilities. As a result more and more services in the digital world are available.

An airline company that operates with its fleet needs to ensure that maintenance of a following and certain standard will be implemented. In this project we have sorted and divided the various working procedures of Malmö Aviation into Work Packs. These procedures are mandatory and must therefore be implemented in order to keep the aircraft airworthy at any time. Our task was to optimize and sort these working procedures by zone, panels, access and down time. We have created a maintenance program which Malmö Aviation can use and we have sorted their working procedures in B and C- Checks.Maintenance procedures that did not fit into our Work Packs have been gathered and sent back to Malmö Aviation for further inspection.This project has required a lot of extra reading in manuals and we have had a great insight into the complexity of a technical organization such as Malmö Aviation..
