The aim of this study is to examine how the induction period for newly employed upper secondary school teachers is implemented in practice, in relation to the Swedish Education Act and the National Agency for Education?s general guidelines. Although this induction period has been legally mandated since 2010, both previous research and current statistics indicate significant shortcomings or wide variation in its practical execution. The study is based on a qualitative interview study involving 13 school leaders. The interview responses were analyzed using three complementary theoretical frameworks: Lipsky?s theory of street-level bureaucracy, Meyer and Rowan?s concept of decoupling, and Schein?s model of organizational culture.

AbstractPeople and organizations that network with one another have during the past decades, at a larger extent than before, replaced classical hierarchies. These networks have become increasingly important, as the globalisation has amplified the pressure for focused and flexibleorganizations. There is a risk of restraining the inventiveness of the firm and force customers and suppliers into cooperation by a too great commitment and dedication to the network. There are two sides to every penny, positive and negative aspects of networking.Concerning the negative approach to networking, there is relatively little theory present. The theory is regarded an emerging theory.

Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ studie som bygger på fem intervjuer med enhetschefer för HVB- hem. Dessa verksamheter är behandlingsverksamheter där huvuddelen av klienterna utgörs av barn och ungdomar, men det förekommer även vuxna som klienter. Samtliga verksamheters huvudfokus ligger på familjebehandling och är så kallade utförarverksamheter vars uppdragsgivare är socialtjänsten. Socialtjänsten är den huvudsakliga samverkanspartnern,men det förekommer även kontakter med andra myndigheter såsom skola, sjukvård, Migrationsverk, polis och kriminalvård. Studiens syfte är att beskriva den problematik som enhetscheferna upplever i samverkan med socialtjänst och andra myndigheter.

Detta arbete grundar sig på sex djupintervjuer med vägledare på olika grundskolor i Malmö, samt kortare intervjuer med rektorer på några av dessa skolor. Vägledarnas arbetsuppgifter har stått i centrum för arbetet. Den bild som byggdes upp av de intervjuer jag gjort visar att vägledarens arbetsuppgifter påverkas mycket av ledningens åsikter och agerande, men även att varje vägledare själv till viss del påverkar sin situation. För enkelhetens skull har jag valt att genomgående i mitt arbete kalla studie- och yrkesvägledare för ?vägledare? och benämner dem för ?hon? då de flesta i denna studie är kvinnor. I arbetets inledande kapitel presenterar jag bakgrunden där jag berättar om gällande styrdokument för grundskolan, tidigare forskning om vägledning på grundskolan samt exempel på vad vägledning bör stå för. Här tar jag även upp syfte, frågeställning och hypotes. I kapitel två tar jag upp de teoretiska utgångspunkter som jag anser vara relevanta för arbetet, dessa använder jag mig av i analysdelen där jag relaterar mitt arbete till hur dagens skolor som resultatenheter påverkar arbetsmiljön med hjälp av Anita Jansons bok Att vara chef för en resultatenhet. Jag har även tittat på maktperspektivet med hjälp av Rädslans makt skriven av Christian Ylander och möjligheterna till förändring med hjälp av Kjell Skogen & Mari-Anne Sörlie, Introduktion till innovationsarbete.

In Sweden a person is either unlimited or limited liable to tax. It is important to define this status since the consequence of being unlimited liable to tax according to chapter 3 § 8 Swedish income tax law (1999:1229) is imposed tax on every revenue from Sweden and overseas. When deciding the fiscal status Sweden uses the principle of domicile which makes the home of the taxable person important.Despite domilication in another country a person can be considered to have such bonds to Sweden that they still should be unlimited liable to tax here. During the development of the Swedish communal tax law (1928:370) the term essential linkage was introduced. There are numerous factors which can affect this assessment but in case-law some factors have been considered more important than others.

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka synen på varumärkesbyggande hos fyra ideella organisationer; Plan Sverige, RFSU, Svensk Friidrott och Barncancerfonden. För att utreda detta så har kvalitativa intervjuer med representanter med stor insyn i kommunikationsarbetet på de ideella organisationerna genomförts. Med en grund i generella varumärkesteorier har författarna analyserat om dessa teorier är relevanta och i sådana fall applicerbara på ideella organisationer. I studien undersöks även om ideella organisationers syfte påverkar deras varumärkesarbete.Genom den undersökning som gjorts  kan man urskilja att valda ideella organisationers varumärkesarbete skiljer sig markant från teorier för kommersiella företag. Detta gör det svårt att applicera generella teorier på ideella organisationer eftersom de ideella organisationerna styrs av yttre faktorer som i stor utsträckning inte går att påverka. De intervjuade organisationernas syfte påverkar i stor grad deras positionering, vilket styr varumärkesarbetet.

I en rapport från Konjunkturinstitutet (2010) framkommer att produktivitets-utvecklingen i den svenska byggbranschen stått still sen mitten på 90-talet. Detta samtidigt som övriga näringslivet ökat sin produktivitet kraftigt under samma period. Denna skillnad i produktivitetsutveckling skulle kunna betyda att det finns mycket arbete kvar att göra för en ökad produktivitet i byggbranschen.För att få en högre produktivitet i byggbranschen krävs det att de som utför arbetet har en strävan efter att vara produktiv. Denna strävan påverkas av mjuka faktorer som t.ex. incitament, engagemang och psykosocial arbetsmiljö.

ABSTRACTBackground: The incidence of type 2 diabetes is increasing worldwide.
