The purpose of this study is to use a qualitative approach to get an understanding of what is expected of social workers targeted towards women managers in social services. Nine social workers were interviewed. The empirical data was then analyzed on the basis of gender theory. Respondents did not see their supervisor as a manager but more as a social worker with special tasks. Our empirical data indicates that there is a strong belief that men and women possess different properties.

Vi har undersökt hur man identifierar dyslexi på gymnasienivå för att få svar på varför dyslexiproblematiken ser ut som den gör i högre utbildningar. Syftet med studien är att ur ett pedagogiskt perspektiv undersöka hur en process av dyslexiidentifiering ser ut på gymnasienivå samt se hur verktyg/metoder som tillhandahålls fungerar. Vårt arbete har utgått ifrån frågor som:Vilka erfarenheter har pedagoger på gymnasiet av dyslexiidentifieringar?Hur fungerar resurser, såsom metoder och verktyg, är de tillräckliga för att upptäcka dyslektiker?Forskningsområdet har angripits med en kvalitativ metod genom intervjuer med olika typer av pedagoger på fyra gymnasieskolor i södra Sverige. Resultatet av intervjuerna visade att dyslexiidentifieringen är ett komplext problem där språkets betydelse har stor vikt för upptäckterna.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the social worker?s perspective on working for the government as a professional in care of children, in relation to the family's right to self determination. The essay's empirical material is gathered from qualitative, semi-structured interviews with social workers who work with children and youth in communities and districts in Skåne and Stockholm City, Sweden. The analysis was conducted in line with theories of social constructivism. The results and analysis show that the interviewed social workers did not believe that the state has too much power over the citizen.

The aim of this study was to investigate leadership in public health care. The methods used were shadowing and semi-structured interviews. The shadowing involved observing the shared leadership of two head nurses in an administrative management position of a ward in their daily work during two weeks. The observation was supplemented by ten semi-structured interviews. A thematic analysis of the data was carried out and the result indicated that shared leadership is a form of leadership well suited for an organisation as big and complex as the clinic where the study took place.

The current research examined whether motives, traditional mass media consumption and individual differences (social activity and political interest) predicted the use of social media among a group of university students in China. In coherence with Uses and Gratifications assumptions the study found that the factors differentially predicted the extent of media use. Information seeking, social interaction and affinity were the main reasons for using social media. There was a negative correlation between television viewing and use of social media, in addition to a negative correlation between information seeking and use of the media. Results further suggest that social media are used to enhance social capital, since student?s being socially active offline, tend to use the media to a greater extent than those less active..

Title: Artistic methods for persons with dysfunctions.The idea to the paper was born in my work, as a pedagogue, with young persons with dysfunctions. My pedagogic method is eurhythmics but I wanted to examine in what other ways you could work with artistic expression in similar areas such as circus, dance therapy and psychodrama. These areas were chosen because they have components that are interrelated, which I find very interesting. Mind and body are considered from a holistic point of view. The purpose of this paper is to bring about a better understanding of how persons with dysfunctions respond to various artistic teaching methods.

As a school welfare officer you are often alone of having your perspective and must struggle to preserve that perspective. At the same time, there are very little defined what role a social worker should have in a school. This makes it nessesary to form and develop your role of profession independently. According to the Swedish school law, the schools are not required to employ a welfare officer. This makes the school welfare officer inferior to the other branches of occupation in school.

I dag har de flesta arbetstagare förvandlats till medarbetare, åtminstone i teorin. Arbetsgivare söker numera "medarbetare" och kallar sina anställda så. Det låter trevligare - att "arbeta med", istället för det mera passiva "att ta arbete".Allt fler företag och organisationer har uppmärksammat vikten av medarbetarskap, i syfte att utveckla ansvarstagande och förändringsförmåga på arbetsplatserna.Den här uppsatsen är kvalitativ intervjustudie om hur anställda i en matbutik uppfattar medarbetarskap. Syftet med studien är, att få en djupare förståelse för hur de anställda i den organisation vi har valt att studera, upplever medarbetarskap och hur detta påverkar deras personliga utveckling. Som en del i medarbetarskapskonceptet påvisas också vikten av ledarskap, samt hur ett komplext begrepp som medarbetarskap upplevs av anställda i en platt organisation där alla strävar efter samma mål.Komplexitet av medarbetarskapet resulterar i att vi, i vår strävan att få en djupare förståelse i den här studien, tar upp olika aspekter som ledarskap, lärande och reflektion, som alla, enligt oss, spelar en viktigt roll i medarbetarskapet..
