The aim of our thesis was to describe how the connection between co-dependent relatives and the alcohol-dependent influences the family into changes in their teamwork.Our purpose was also to answer the following questions: How is it living with an alcoholic? Are there any differences in how men and women feel and behave in their relationship with an alcoholic? Are factors like cultural belonging, genre or social class important for how the co-dependent relatives feels and behaves and handle their co-dependency?To answer these questions we made twelve thematic qualitative interviews with six adult children to alcoholics and six people married to alcoholics. We compared the results of these interviews with earlier research. We also applied System Theory and Goffman's Role Theory, as well as Bourdieu´s Capital and Habitus concept.We believe that co-dependency is a family divergence that is very similar to family disease, but that a change in attitude can trigger recovery. According to the interviews many spouses stand by their alcoholic husbands and do actions that perpetuate the alcoholic dependence and thereby hold back any recovery.

The purpose of this essay was to investigate which factors the individuals found important in the process of becoming a person with a drug-free life. The framing of the questions we had were to get the experiences, thoughts and wishes of the drug users. The survey was based on thematised qualitative interviews and focused in the personal stories of the interviewees. We interviewed four women and five men, all of which had several years of drug-abuse behind them. We found similarities and patterns and we could identify that the three most important things was the own motivation, will and that the drug-abuser had the possibility to change their social network and had the ability to find other important things in life..

Den här uppsatsen har skrivits inom ramen för centralasiatisk säkerhetspolitik ur ett europeiskt perspektiv. Jag har begränsat uppsatsen till att fokusera på narkotika, som på senare år har blivit en kärnfråga i säkerhetspolitiska diskussioner, framförallt i Europa och i USA. Genom att tillämpa ett vidare perspektiv har jag försökt överskrida den eurocentrism, evolutionism, passivisering och viktimisering som finns i litteraturen och de artiklar som jag har studerat. Med den beskrivande tesen: Narkotikans roll i kampen om den globala hegemonin och drömmen om kalifatet, har jag velat belysa narkotikans roll i båda dessa strävanden mot en ny värld. Narkotikans roll som ett maktobjekt kan inte förminskas, varken i européernas kamp om den globala hegemonin eller i de islamistiska extremistgruppernas dröm om kalifatet.

Through the growing use and availability of information technology the dependency of Internet is today increasing. Internet makes ways for a more mobile business communication that cost less. One of the latest applications of Internet technology are intranet and extranet. I have asked myself the question how intranet and extranet can affect companies efficiency and competitive advantage. In order to answer this question I performed a case study at Ericsson and ABB.

The purpose of the study was to examine what possibilities and obstacles, according to the personnel and patients in a methadone treatment, exist in the patient's social rehabilitation. How does the methadone treatment encourage the patient's social rehabilitation, what possibilities/obstacles are there according to personnel and patients? What does the patient see as important aspects of his/her social rehabilitation and what importance does the methadone have on the treatment? The results show that there are difficulties for patients to rebuild their life, find employment, start new social networks and get by with everyday tasks. The support from friends and family will simplify the patient's social rehabilitation, otherwise they get isolated and alone. Patients feel that they are fighting for a successful treatment so that they can have a relationship with friends and families again.

This bachelor thesis is studying the development of Swedish law in relation with EU-law. There are two different points of view expressed in the theories of Europeanization. One that means EU makes a big influence on national policy, one that says path-dependency will make the national policies differ. The case used in the study is discrimination on the ground of disability as regards employment. The aim of this thesis is, through a case study, to analyze the relation between Swedish and European law and by that shed some light on the matter of Europeanization..

Det har i studier, av bland annat kriminologen Trevor Bennett (2005), visats att kriminalitet interagerar med droger, vilket även har en ömsesidig effekt. Man har dessutom sett att underhållsbehandling gett positiva resultat vid behandling av heroin- och opiatberoende. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilken effekt underhållsbehandling vid opiatmissbruk har på kriminaliteten. Med hjälp av Willman och Stoltz (2002) sju-stegs-metod har data samlats in genom en systematisk litteraturstudie för randomiserade kontrollerade studier. Tio vetenskapliga artiklar erhölls från databasen PubMed.

IKEA is probably one of the most well known Swedish companies in the world. During thepast decades millions of people all across the globe have decorated their homes according tothe style of IKEA. But just exactly how big and influential are they? Many, if not to say all,municipalities in Sweden wants IKEA to establish and build their famous stores in one oftheir towns. But at what cost? When deciding on a municipality to establish in, IKEAnormally tends to have an advantage when it comes to controlling the conditions and terms ofthe establishment.To undertake this dissertation I use a theory based upon the inter-organizational theoriescalled resource dependency theory.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa brukares syn på en framgångsrik underhållsbehandling utifrån deras egna betraktelsesätt, uppfattningar och berättelser. Vi har utifrån ett brukarperspektiv undersökt anledningarna till varför en del opiatmissbrukare som erhåller underhållsbehandling lyckas bibehålla sin drogfrihet. I vår analys har vi valt att använda Aaron Antonovskys teori om känsla av sammanhang (KASAM) som teoretisk bas. KASAM omfattar termerna begriplighet, hanterbarhet samt meningsfullhet och som i kombination med erhållandet av underhållsbehandling tros ha inverkan på resultaten att hålla sig drogfri. Arbetet redogör för vad underhållbehandling innebär samt dess historiska drag då underhållsbehandling som metod i Sverige anses kontroversiell.

Our purpose with this essay was to make a comparative study of the methadone programme in Sweden versus Denmark. We wanted to examine the issue by illustrating the historical and recent development of the drug political policy and the growth of the methadone programme in both countries.We chose to work with the following questions:1. What differences occur in the methadone programme if you compare the same in Denmark and Sweden? 2. How is the respective methadone programmes designed? 3.

This thesis discusses the attitudes versus methadone assisted rehabilitation ad modum Dole Nyswander in Sweden during the period 1972-2004. This is done by means of a Foucault inspired discourse analysis applied on the directions issued by the Board of Health and Social Affairs. The context in which these directions were created is also described, in which scientific achievements on methadone treatments during the period, and the main actors struggling to establish and define the discourse on narcotics and narcomania, are juxtaposed to the effects of the work of the Board. It is stated that the directions were largely affected not by scientific results and knowledge on methadone, but by the symbolic connotations of narcotics in Sweden established in the discourse already in the mid 1960´s. Also during the end of the studied period, after the occurence of AIDS had begun making methadone more broadly accepted, the findings of this thesis showed that the legacy of the 1970´s symtomtheory and its severe antagonism against methadone, was still present, in effect, in the discourse around methadone and subutex assisted rehabilitation, and so in the directions issued by the Board of Health and Social Affairs..

Enligt oss är en stor del av kriminaliteten i Sverige drogrelaterad. Vi har därför valt att i detta examensarbete inrikta oss på behandling av narkotikamissbruk. Då vi ser Heroin som den tyngsta drogen man kan missbruka, valde vi att undersöka hur en subutexbehandling går till här i Umeå. Vi har med detta arbete fått kunskap om behandlingen så att vi och andra får en möjlighet att få kunskap om hur man, på åtminstone ett sätt, kan få hjälp med att bli kvitt sitt heroinberoende. I arbetet har vi valt att först skaffa kunskap om själva preparatet Subutex genom fakta från bl.a.

The aim of this study is to highlight drug experiences and the significance our interviewee?s ascribe to their drug experiences in conjunction to their everyday lives. In the concluding chapter of this study we have used the collective experiences of the participants to allow us to engage in a dialogue of why it is important to acknowledge the attributes and needs an individual attaches to his/her perspective drug in the field of social welfare in Sweden. Symbolic Interactionism as a theoretical approach is used as the framework for understanding responses of participants in this study. The word ?experience? is a comprehensive concept for the sensations that an individual feels.
