The social imbalance recruitment has been a current topic for years. Since much research has focused on the higher education's problems with this, this thesis aims to investigate if you are already at the high school choice were influenced by your social background. To get a further dimension to this topic, the French sociologist Bourdieus thoughts on people's possession of, what he calls cultural capital was used, and we made use of it in the sense of parental education. Through a survey conducted in four ninth grades in two municipalities with different characteristics in terms of socio-economic conditions, we asked questions about their choice to high school. What programs did they choose? What factors were important? And which person had influenced them? The results showed a pretty clear dividing line between the pupils who came from homes with strong cultural capital to those who did not in the same sense.

Företagsskandalerna i slutet av 1990-talet och början av 2000-talet förde fram debatten om bolagsstyrning i ljuset. De stora krav på omdöme och uppförande som krävs av bo-lagsledningar för att rätt förvalta andra människors pengar förstärker väsentligheten av att det finns verksamma incitament för företagsledningarna att fullgöra sina skyldighe-ter. Som ett resultat av dessa skandaler tillsatte regeringen Förtroendekommissionen, vars uppgift var att arbeta fram åtgärder för att stärka förtroendet för det svenska när-ingslivet. Ett år senare tillsattes Kodgruppen, och det slutliga resultatet av Kodgruppens arbete är den svenska kod för bolagsstyrning som idag ingår i Stockholmsbörsens noter-ingskrav.Att i valet mellan lagstiftning och självreglering, beslutet ändock föll på självreglering genom kod, har sin förklaring i självregleringens flexibilitet, snabbhet och anpassnings-barhet till de olikartade förhållanden som råder inom svenskt näringsliv. Koden är dess-utom semidispositiv genom principen comply or explain, vilket innebär att ett bolag kan välja att inte följa Kodens regler, bara de kan förklara orsaken till varje enskild avvikel-se.

Slutsatsen av denna studie är att en likviditetspremie på Stockholmsbörsen inte går att fastställa för tidsperioden 1995-03-01 till 2005-10-31. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka huruvida det råder en signifikant avvikelse i priset på en likvid kontra en illikvid aktie, där omsättningshastigheten är den variabel utsedd att fånga denna anomali. Undersökningen omfattar aktier vilka är noterade på Stockholmsbörsens A- och O-listor idag. Den teoretiska referensramen för denna studie har sitt ursprung från den vedertagna modell vilken utvecklades av Amihud och Mendelson (1986) där köp-sälj spreaden nyttjats för att undersöka en eventuell likviditetspremie på New York börsen. Ett ekonometriskt metodförfarande innefattandes framförallt regressionsanalys har här valts där en stor inspiration varit Fama och French´s (1992) benchmark för att statistiskt undersöka hur den justerade överavkastningen påverkas av omsättningshastigheten och de förklarande variablerna marknadsrisk, storlek samt bokfört värde dividerat med marknadsvärde.

This essay deals with the rationale and aims for doing cultural or aesthetic activities and projects in schools, and gives special focus to a specific group of students, attending schools provided at special residential homes for young people (sa?rskilda ungdomshem). These homes receive young people with psychosocial and substance misuse problems and who show tendencies towards criminal behavior. The essay investigates how working with a cultural project in schools at these residential homes is justified and also elucidates how this specific group of students and their problems are constructed in the documents surrounding the project. The essay will further ponder over possible educational and pedagogical consequences of these constructions.The investigation has its theoretical frame work in curriculum theory.

This study uses European researcher Tomas Valasek?s hypothesis about factors required for defence cooperation in order to achieve conditions which can be successfully applied to the Nordic defence cooperation NORDEFCO. The study uses only Norway and Sweden on the grounds that they are the original actors and the driving forces behind the defence cooperation. The factors studied are; the countries' strategic culture, solidarity and trust between countries, similarity in military forces, if similar conditions prevail in the defence industry and if the intentions of cooperation have been clarified.Mainly government documents in the form of propositions, orientations and defence documents are studied, together with previous research in this area and, especially, interviews with representatives of NORDEFCO at military level and policy level as well as outside perspectives from the military attachés in each country. With the intention of studying the extent to which the factors Valasek features may prove to be significant in assessing the conditions for enhanced cooperation in NORDEFCO, the study raises the question of how it is possible to find expressions for the factors.

The aim of the study was to examine which approach future social workers have regarding specific competence in the meeting with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer clients.

Research shows that education and better skills of LGBTQ culture among professionals can change the situation.The essay is based on a model of cultural competence in working with sexual minorities and people with a transgender expression. The model defines the meaning of an LGBTQ perspective and is designed to improve social work with LGBTQ clients.The study is quantitative and empirical data consists of 203 survey responses from students with a long experience of the social work education. The analysis of the results is based on the cultural competence three principles; attitudes, knowledge and skills.

The aim of this paper is exploring questions regarding the problem of absenteeism among high-school students in Sweden. Fifteen students attending an urban high-school have been interviewed about their views and experiences of absenteeism. The author analyzes the students? answers by taking into account two different sociological approaches which give two different explanations about the way young people experience and estimate education. The French sociologist Bourdieu theorized that differences in cultural capital influence the permanent internalization of patterns of thought and behavior.

I detta arbete har en utredning om aktiebolaget gjorts. Denna bolagsform skiljer sig frånandra bolagsformer då aktiebolaget är uppbyggt på olika organ. De olika organen hartilldelats olika kompetenser i form av behörigheter och befogenheter för denverkställandemakten samt förvaltningen av bolaget. Det kan vara svårt att direkt urskiljagränsdragningen mellan styrelsens och VD:s kompetens. Syftet med denna uppsats harvarit att försöka besvara frågan var en gränsdragning mellan styrelsens och VD:skompetens går, vilka kriterier och faktorer som kan användas vid en bedömning samt vilka åtgärder som kan riktas mot organen om ett överskridande av denna kompetens har skett.

This essay is about two Swedish folk musicians, Anders Rosén and Leif Stinnerbom, who have been playing two important rolls in the developing process of Swedish folk music, on their separate ways. The main part of this work is focused on the era called ?The Folk Music Vogue?, which was the era when my informants were in the limelight on the Swedish fiddler scene of the 70s.Our music culture is constantly lying under the change of progress and I find it interesting to reflect how these kinds of changes are affecting the role of the musician.In this essay I am reflecting on the different perspectives of the musicianship according to my informants and how they both are referring to their role as musicians. The purpose is further on to see how they have been relating to the change of progress on the field of the Swedish folk music during the 70s and up to this date. Throughout interviews with the informants I am analyzing their personal relationship to their life as folk musicians.
