Idag riktar många butiker in sig på sina kvinnliga kunder. De är väl omtalat hur kvinnor handlar och att de ser shopping som ett nöje. Butikerna sätter upp erbjudande för att locka kvinnor att handla mer och göra dem tillfredsställda; då kommer de tillbaka igen. Det läggs inte ner lika mycket tid och engagemang på de manliga kunderna, då det finns olika teorier som säger att män inte tycker om att shoppa. Samtidigt som samhället har förändrats har också männen och kvinnorna förändras.

Abstract : Under våren 2008 gjordes en utvärdering av en kvinnojour i en medelstor svensk stad. En uppföljning har nu genomförts för att ta reda på om de goda resultat som uppvisades håller i sig på lite längre sikt.Baserat på framförallt en feministisk förståelse av våldet i kombination med teorier om brottsoffer, empowerment och emotionssociologi undersöktes kvinnornas uppfattning av sin situation idag med hjälp av enkäter, fokusgrupper och enskilda intervjuer. Även dagboksanteckningar har studerats. I likhet med den inledande undersökningen visar uppföljningen att stödet från kvinnojouren är uppskattat och en ovärderlig hjälp för förståelsen av vad man varit med om och hur man kan gå vidare. Våldet har i stort sett upphört, och förbättringen gällande psykisk hälsa, självförtroende och rädsla håller i sig, även om en lätt tillbakagång antyds i vissa fall vid den andra uppföljningen.

Abstrakt/AbstractFör tio år sedan genomfördes en studiepå Astrid Lindgrens barnsjukhus i Stockholmdå 32 tonåringar med typ-1 diabetes fick genomgå en empowerment-baserad gruppundervisning i diabetes.

This study is an institutional analysis of the firm both as it is theoretically conceptualized and how it takes shape and changes. The role of power relations between manage¬ment and employees is especially examined with the aim of evaluating pos¬sible connections between the firm as an institution and power relations within it. Based on a comparison of two cases (two selected periods of the same organization) it asks ?How closely does each case match the conceptual characteristics of the firm??; ?What are the power relations between management and employees in each case??; and finally ?What factors account for the resulting differences??. It is found that there is a negative correlation between employee power and proximity to the firm as a concept.

Hunting is considered as the most masculine activity in our society. Historically, man has been described as the provider for his family, this in the forms of hunting and gathering. Today hunting is still associated with a male hunter, but women have started to infiltrate the hunting culture. In this study hunting culture is analyzed with a gender perspective. In a modern society with gender and equality as a big subject of debate it is interesting to examine this impact on a culture so linked with masculinity.

Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur pedagogerna samtalar om barns olika behov och vad det leder till i förskolans verksamhet. Hur identifieras barns olika behov? Vad leder det till i verksamheten, för alla barn men specifikt för barn i behov av särskilt stöd? När anses ett barn vara i behov av särskilt stöd? Vad beskriver pedagogerna som viktigt i mötet med barns olikheter? Teori: Studien har sin teoretiska förankring i det sociokulturella perspektivet. Barnets lärande och utveckling är beroende av den sociala kontext barnet ingår i. Utifrån studiens syfte är det sociokulturellt perspektiv en förutsättning för barnets lärande i förskolan.

The aim of this study was to investigate the emotions among the staff at the group housings when they observe the caretakers expressions of masturbation and how the staff handles these expressions in their daily and long-term work. The theoretical concepts that were used in this study are group housing as a public and private arena, occupational role, relation, humanistic effort, pedagogical effort, empowerment, care ethic and emotions. The concepts are related to each other and constitutes the foundation for the analysis of the empirical data used in this study. A qualitative study was carried out, in forms of half structured interviews with six informants, of which the majority was women. It came to light that the interviewees only had positive feelings for the caretaker?s expressions of masturbation.

The elderly care is an area of great importance to women. Women are more often in need of elderly care; they work with the service and provide a majority of the informal service. Research shows that managers? work-related prerequisites are significantly different between the male dominated technical administration and the female dominated care and educational administration. Studies also show that what the highest managerial organisation gives priority to, often permeate the whole organisation.

This paper describes how teachers of media view and construct their subjects. Eight teachers have been interviewed about their views and opinions about the media environment, their goals for media education as well as their opinions about the different course plans used in media education. The term Media Literacy works as a theoretical starting point for the study, since Media Literacy is the goal for most media education. The teachers? answers have been analyzed by using three different approaches to media education: protection, promotion and empowerment.
