Lärarutbildningen, Specialpedagogiska magisterutbildningen, Malmö högskola. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur ungdomarna med neuropsykiatriskt funktionshinder upplevt sin skolsituation på A-skolan samt vilka specialpedagogiska metoder som tillämpas som stöd/hjälp till elever inom A-skolan. Min studie är en intervjustudie där två olika grupper, en grupp som själva upplevt studiesituationen på A-skolan, sju tidigare elever, och en grupp professionella yrkesutövare, fyra pedagoger intervjuas.

 The main purpose is to investigate the main fea-tures of the discourse in the social medias about the legal view on cimes and criminals.                                                The special questions that are investigated are:1)    What specific features characterize the discourse in the social medias?2)    What are the legal restrictions for the freedom of speech on the Internet?3)    What attitudes can you find among lawyers towards the discourse in the social medias?4)    Are there grounds for presuming that the discourse in the social medias can effect the judgement in a special case?         .

I denna kvalitativa intervjustudie har sex syskon till personer med diagnos inom autismspektrumtillstånd intervjuats för att få ett inifrånperspektiv på familjens situation. Syftet var att se huruvida stämplingens effekter påverkade familjemedlemmarna för att kunna dra en slutsats kring om familjen kunde betraktas som medstämplade. Resultatet visade att interaktionen med myndigheter i många fall upplevdes som tärande vilket skapade oro hos respondenterna, utöver detta upplevdes ofta omgivningens reaktioner mot syskonet som smärtsamt. Resultatet ställdes i analysavsnittet mot norm samt avvikelseteori, där kunde det faktum att familjen blir påverkad utav stämplingen bekräftas. Vid analys mot normteori uppvisade resultatet tecken på ett eget utvecklat familjärt normsystem som användes för att syskonet med diagnos inom autismspektrumtillstånd ej skulle uppleva sig exkluderad.

The title of this thesis is ?Accessible Landscape - boardwalks in nature areas?. The main purpose of this thesis is to show how you can increase the accessibility for disabled people by constructing boardwalks in nature areas. The platform for the thesis is a study of litterature on boardwalks, accessibility and disabilities. After defining these terms I made three excursions to three different locations in the south of Sweden. During the excursions I evaluated the boardwalks situated in each of the areas through preferences such as the construction of the boardwalk, its design and the accessibility. After the excursions I interviewed managers of the areas I visited, and people working with disability questions in the municipalities where the excursions took place. To know how to make a boardwalk accessible you need to have knowledge about certain concepts, rules and recommendations. My thesis deals with aspects such as: *Accessibility *Disability *Rules and recommendations when building boardwalks *Real life - evaluation from the excursions and interviews with the managers The result shows that accessibility is a hot topic in Sweden and a lot of improvement is being done with fi nancial support from the European Union.

The purpose with this work is to describe the language that is built around the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in Sweden. Our questions are: What does the professional field look like; who writes, about what and for which kind of readers? How do they describe the expressions and the upcoming of CFS? For which reasons can CFS be considered as a medical diagnosis/illness? How can CFS be understood from a social perspective? Our theoretical starting point is a social constructive theory and also Karin Johannisson's theory about medicalization and Foucault?s theory about power. We have from a literature-exposition of Swedish articles from 1989 to 2006, done a social constructive discourse analysis with help from Laclau & Mouffe's discourse theory, and Fairclough's model of social practices. In our textual analysis we found three dominating discourses: A medical discourse, a social/cultural discourse and a general/popular discourse.

This qualitative study investigates the conditions on the labour market for disabled people by examining which factors and processes contribute to disabled peoples inclusion to, or exclusion from the open labour market. Stigmatisation is also used as an analytical tool to better understand the exclusion of disabled people from the open labour market. The material to this study is drawn from qualitative interviews with the employees of the Swedish Employment Agency which specialises in supporting disabled people to find employment.  In conclusion, disabled people face several barriers which makes them more susceptible to become excluded from the open labour market. Such excluding barriers include a demand for high efficiency and productivity from employers, bigger cooperation?s and public organisations unwillingness to employ disabled people and prejudices from employers, especially against people with psychiatric disabilities. The employees of the Swedish Employment Agency suggest that they would be able to work more efficiently to help disabled people find employment if they had to do less administrative work, and would be able to work with fewer clients per employee.

BakgrundI dagens samhälle är diagnos är ett sätt att kategorisera. Vi har undersökt erfarenheter från vårdnadshavare till barn med neuropsykiatriska diagnoser så som ADHD, Autism och Asperger. Dessa diagnoser kommer att beskrivas och vi diskuterar normalitetsbegreppet samt integrering, segregering och inkludering. Vår teoretiska utgångpunkt är det biologiska perspektivet, det miljöbetingade perspektivet samt perspektiv på segregering och kategorisering.SyfteSyftet med den här undersökningen är att ta del av fem individers personliga erfarenheter av diagnostisering och dess inverkan. Med inverkan syftar vi på om barnet upplevs få en sämre/ bättre vardag och om diagnosen skapar möjligheter respektive hinder för barnet och dess familj.

The aim of this study was to describe the attitudes against abused women. A literature review was used in this study. Information was collected from the literature and articles written about the subject and brought together and then critical analysed. To help with the organisation structure we used Ida Jean Orlando's theory as a theoretical framework. Our findings indicate that the nurses had a lack of acknowledgment about the women's situations and needed education about their situations.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) does not have an explicit definition but instead entail a broad spectrum of various obligations that an organisation is responsible for. CSR has in recent years become a highly relevant and debatable topic as a consequence of the increased exposure of companies to society. Due to an augmented consumption from the general population, CSR is of great importance in companies' aspiration to create and maintain a solid relationship with costumers. Previous researches have described what areas of CSR are most relevant in terms of consumption. However, it can be suggested that these publications have failed to provide an indication of what type of costumers these various areas attract.
