Purpose of this study is to describe and analyze school social work in rural area and being alone in social work at the school welfare/health team and how this affects the individual, professionally and privately.The theoretical framework highlights the empirical data through Goffman's dramaturgical perspective. The study highlights school social workers role on the scene as Goffman divided as the front and rear arena and how school social worker find strategies to cope with it alone work it takes to be a counselor in rural areas.One way to handle her role involves acting in one of the following three characters: the self-employed, infiltrator and tough guy.The study describes how the social worker harboring the stress in the profession; through recovery - physical and mental, on the back stage, backstage.On stage there are other players such as student health team, which also acts and affect what happens on the front stage.School social workers are working hard to position itself in relation to other professions in student welfare/health team and to have a mandate to act.In the analysis, it appears that the school social workers want a clearer role profession/ occupation profession and mandate to act, which may be complicated by today is the only counselor in student welfare/health team lacking identity. There is also a desire for further/ continuing education, but this is seen as an organizational pitfall when the manager does not have the same educational background as school social worker.Ultimately, it is the peripatetic life as a social worker at the school who is considered the most exhausting part of the work as a school social worker in a rural area. There is a great desire among the interviewed school social workers to have fewer schools to relate to and work on..

Sustainability questions that concern the subjects of environmental and social aspects are increasing in today?s society, and therefore the sustainability report is a way for companies to show their work with sustainability development by working with a clear report and follow up. As the first country in the world, Sweden has decided, as from the financial year of 2008, that all governmental owned companies should present a sustainability report according to the guidelines of GRI. The aim of this essay was to identify and analyze actual events from a sustainability aspect for Vattenfall, from a medial perspective during the time period 2005-2009. We made a content analysis of one company?s sustainability reports during a time period of five years and we connected this to the medias reports of the company from the same period, to see if there were any connections between the subjects that media had elucidated.

Syftet med denna undersökning är att ta reda på hur några matematiklärare har påverkats av läroplansbytet mellan Lpo 94 och Lgr 11. Hur har deras profession påverkats av detta byte samt deras attityder till läroplaner rent allmänt? Genom observationer och kvalitativa intervjuer har vi undersökt hur fyra matematiklärare på två olika skolor har påverkats. Detta har sedan analyserats med hjälp av skillnader i läro- och kursplaner samt en begreppsapparat som vi tagit fram genom relevant litteratur, främst Göran Lindes läroplansteori. Vårt resultat visar att läroplanen till viss del inverkar på lärarnas val av metoder och bedömning men man önskar fortfarande en tydligare konkretisering av lärarnas uppdrag och vad undervisningen ska innehålla.

The research of organizational structure and control in the audit profession suggest that there is a contradiction in that auditors should both nurture collegialities while they at the same time have their own responsibility for their individual development and career. This creates a competitive situation among colleagues who in return are expected to maintain a good social relationship and team spirit with each individual. Subsequently, being part of the collegiality and being highly individualistic, gives rise to a theoretical dilemma where these opposing forces are supposed to coincide with each other.The purpose of this paper is to create a bigger understanding of how auditors at major accounting firms can handle the conflict that arises. In order to explore this dilemma, we conducted a qualitative study based on an abductive approach. We have made seven semi-structured interviews from a localistic view.

Följande arbete avser att synliggöra den förvirring som undertecknad anser råda kring begreppet beteendevetare. Med den utgångspunkten har en kartläggning gjorts av vad högskolor, universitet, arbetsförmedling och fackförbund säger om beteendevetare i den information de har på sina respektive hemsidor. Informationen har sedan strukturerats upp med hjälp av metoder för textanalys och diskuteras slutligen utifrån olika professionsteoretiska perspektiv. Vi använder oss både av traditionella professionsteoretiska definitioner samt ett par nyare kompletterande teorier om professionstyper. Då vi inte funnit någon tidigare forskning om beteendevetare tittar vi på forskning om samhällsvetare och socionomer.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how social services workers describe, the risk of being exposed to threats and violence in their profession. Six social services workers were interviewed, four from the Welfare Office in a major city and two from the Child and Family Services in a minor city. Results showed that the majority of social services workers consider themselves exposed in their profession, meaning that they feel there's a risk of a violent or threatening situation occurring in their work situation. All interviewees had experiences from some sort of threat or violence in a work related context and they attested that non-personal assaults, such as threats made through telephone, email and answering machines are more common than verbal assaults made in personal meetings. Being prepared and listening to ones intuition is a way of dealing with exposure when meeting with a client.

Denna uppsats handlar om grundskollärarprofessionens utveckling, verksamma lärare och lärarstudenter. Uppsatsen utgår ifrån följande frågeställningar:Hur har grundskolan och grundskollärarens historiska utveckling vilken lett fram till dagens skola och lärare sett ut?Hur framställs dagens verksamma grundskolelärare inom forskning i fråga om den egna yrkesrollen och verksamheten i skolan?Vilken bild av lärarstudenter går att synliggöra i fråga om uppfattning, syn och attityder gentemot sitt kommande yrkesliv, lärarens roll och skolan?Vad motiverade dessa lärarstudenter att söka sig till lärarutbildningen och fortsätta densamma för att bli lärare i grundskolan?Vilka likheter, skillnader och eventuella samband går att synliggöra mellan de tre ovanstående bilderna?Studien visar att lärarna befinner sig i en starkt utsatt yrkesposition med en ifrågasatt profession och ofta höga påfrestningar i arbetsvardagen. Men såväl verksamma lärare som lärarstudenter innehar en stark drivkraft som motiverar de i sitt nuvarande och kommande utövande av yrket och uppdraget som lärare..

För att uppfylla de krav och förväntningar som ställs på sjuksköterskan idag är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan är medveten om vilka upplevelser i arbetet som kan påverka arbetsglädje. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa upplevelser i sjuksköterskans profession som kan främja arbetsglädje. Studien visar att upplevelser i sjuksköterskans profession kan främja arbetsglädje och ha en positiv påverkan på arbetstillfredsställelse, arbetsengagemang och det yrkesmässiga självförverkligandet. Sjuksköterskans syn på den enskilda patienten som en unik person kan möjliggöra värdefulla möten, som kan påverka både patienten och sjuksköterskan positivt. Strävan att arbeta utefter teorier och tillvägagångssätt som främjar sjuksköterskans upplevelse av att göra skillnad, vara engagerad och att vara en del av möjligheterna i en positiv utveckling kan leda till att sjuksköterskan känner arbetsglädje, meningsfullhet och tillförsikt i arbetet.
