This qualitative interview study examines the shared and discrepant experiences that nine professionals, three from each field of psychiatry, social service, and housing have from working with people with hoarding disorder, and their view on help. The main difficulty when working with hoarding disorder is described as lack of insight and understanding of the severity and consequences of the disorder among people with the disability. Professionals highlight the importance of proper diagnosis and cooperation among disciplinary teams working with hoarding disorder. Approaches differ regarding the issue of how to best help a person with hoarding disorder, especially as the emphasis of autonomy becomes more prevalent. The landlords who were interviewed expressed the hoarders? need of help from the society, whereas the social service interviewees accentuated voluntariness and motivation as a favorable long-term management.

Mellan åren 1965-1974 genomfördes ett unikt bostadsbyggnadsprojekt i Sveriges historia. För att lösa den dåvarande bostadsbristen beslöt Riksdagen att det under en tioårsperiod skulle byggas en miljon bostäder. Detta projekt kallas således för miljonprogrammet. Under årens gång har många kritiker gjort sig hörda då de kritiserat fenomenet på flera nivåer. Ord som segregation, visuell monotoni och storskalighet har använts i beskrivandet av miljonprogramsområdena.

Hammarkullen ?r ett av 5 omr?den i G?teborg som av polismyndigheten definierats vara s?rskilt utsatt. Hammarkullens situation knyter an till samh?lleligt aktuella fr?gor och debatter om bland annat segregation, allm?nnyttigt ansvar och rumsliga skillnader i visionen f?r j?mlika st?der. Utsattheten visar sig oberoende av polisens definition genom socioekonomisk status, skolresultat och ett hyresr?ttsbest?nd byggt i miljonprojektets anda som idag ?r av grovt underm?lig standard p? grund av decennier av bristande underh?ll.

Syftet med vårt arbete var att undersöka varför och på vilket sätt flickor som lever under patriarkala och hederstänkande familjeförhållanden är utsatta. Vi ville ta reda på vilka sätt hederskulturen konkret kommer till utryck samt hur denna kultur påverkar flickors frihet. De frågor vi vill ha svar på är: - Vilka sociala mekanismer ligger bakom förtrycket av flickor i patriarkala familjer? - Vilka uttryck kan hederskulturen ta sig? - Varför befinner sig flickor i patriarkala familjer i en utsatt situation? Vissa familjer präglas av sitt ursprung i traditionella patriarkala system och lever även i Sverige ett liv efter traditioner och normer som stödjer hedersförtryck. De lever efter ett kollektivistiskt och gruppcentrerat system där gruppen kommer före individen.

This investigation aimed to shed light on the terms of the dispensing and the retaining of municipal social benefits granted by Swedish social services, this in regard of a less visible societal subgroup; citizens who cannot attain or retain housing of their own.Through qualitative interviews with six municipal social workers in Skåne, the plight of these citizens is revealed from a policy-making perspective in respect of views on discretion and individual appreciation. How may the applicant impact the application process and how does social subletting operate as a service effort?Further analysis of the accounts of informants? views on change and the reasons for change, sketched an image of a society where public acceptance and tolerance are crucial factors for citizens hoping to achieve a homestead through means of municipal intervention.In conclusion, flexible attitudes towards job description are of major import to the possibility of offering client support in under-staffed municipal environs. Furthermore, reflexive social workers allying with the applicant throughout the process, from application to intervention are decisive for efficacious, long-term social work..

Titel: Landskrona stad i media - En studie av Landskrona stads profil i Landskrona Posten.Författare: Louise OstreniusUppdragsgivare: Landskrona StadKurs: Examensarbete i Media och KommunikationsvetenskapHandledare: Jan StridSidantal: 50 sidor (16604 ord), inklusive bilagor.Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka i vilken utsträckning den bild Landskrona Posten ger av Landskrona Stad stämmer överens med stadens önskade profil och varumärke.Metod: Kvantitativ innehållsanalys samt kvalitativ textanalys.Material: 390 artiklar från Landskrona Posten 2012-2013Resultat: Resultatet påvisar att den bild av Landskrona stad som framgår i den lokala dagspressen Landskrona Posten, ger en relativt verklighetsenligt bild av staden. Balansen mellan artiklar med ett positivt samt negativt anspråk har en jämnfördelning och stämmer även braöverens med den statistiska situationen av brottslighet och segregation som råder i Landskrona.Däremot kan man se stora avvikelser mellan verkligheten, den medialt förmedlade verklighetenoch den önskade profil och image som Landskrona eftersträvar i sitt varumärkesarbete. Tydligaparalleller kan dras mellan den bild av Landskrona stad som Landskrona Posten förmedlar till läsaren och den statistiska verkligheten där mångkulturen är utbredd och antydan till segregation finns, likväl som brottsstatistiken är hög. Självklart är det möjligt att förändra stadens profil och image åt önskat håll men framförallt måste tydliga riktlinjer, stark tro inom kommunen och en statistisk och trovärdig förändring ske innan detta är möjligt. Däremot är inte den bild förmedlad av Landskrona Posten av så stor inverkan som det från början tycktes verka.

The aim for this study was to investigate if it is less stressful for cow and calves in loose housing systems when separation is made so they can see and touch each other (Physical Contact-PC) instead of just hearing each other (Hearing Contact-HC). The behavior of eight cow- calf pairs (n=4 pairs per treatment) on an ecological dairy farm with cubicle housing were studied for four hours directly after separation and four hours the day after separation. The first four cows that gave birth were used for treatment PC, and the following four cows that gave birth were used for treatment HC. The only selection criteria used was that both cow and calf were healthy. Separation took place 3-4 days after birth and the calves were put separately in two different pens while the mothers were let loose into the cubicle system.

The primary focus of this Master thesis is to study how industrial house building can be implemented during production of rental flats under the terms of public procurement. In order to determine a suitable working process as well as presenting a possible architectonic result of the process, a case study is carried through.A housing projekt is designed on a site i Malmö, where the commisioner is MKB Fastighets AB and the contractor is NCC Komponent with the industrial building system NCC Komplett. The focus of the design is to accomplish high quality apartments to a resonable price, as well as solving the overall scheme for the site.The housing projekt, Kv. Flaggskepparen, built on the consept of a single house model, used to handle the entire site, shows that the building system is well suited to accomodate the commisioners demands.In order to reach the best possible architectonic result with the building system, cooperation initiatded in an early stage of the process is neccesary.A model is proposed to handle the situation under the terms of public procurement. The model suggest that the geometrical design is mainly carried out after inquiry and that architectonic qualities should mainly be defined in a non geometrial way for inquiry..

Floating housing is a concept gaining ground in Sweden. The dwellings are different in many ways from traditional homes, not only regarding flotation, but also several other technologies. The purpose of this thesis is to emphasize the qualities that exist in living on water. The ambition was to present a proposal for a floating residential area located in Jönköping, containing homes of varying sizes, and to present their technologies. In order to find inspiration and solutions studies have been made on existing floating homes in Stockholm and Kalmar, focusing on their technical and functional solutions.

Three different factors are thought to be involved in the increased segregation in Stockholm: the living segregation, scientific and political dissonances and the social economical factor. Many segregated areas have many inhabitants with foreign background. Schools in these areas have a higher number of students with lower grades compared to other schools with higher number of students that are ethnical Swedes. Jordbromalmsskolan is a school in Haninge kommun that is one of the seven schools in Stockholms suburbs where students graduate with the lowest grades. The school is suffering from a very bad reputation because of many problems like fights between students and lack of resources like purchase stop.

Under kursen SKK (Språk, kultur och kommunikation vid Umeå Universitet) gjorde vi ett filmreportage utifrån en artikelserie i en lokal tidning i norra Sverige. Artiklarna belyste segregeringen av utländska elever i den svenska skolan som skett i en mindre inlandskommun i Sverige. Vi vill med denna studie belysa problematik och möjligheter i möten mellan kulturer i skolan. De sociala skillnader i samhället som bidrar till segregation mellan svenska elever och elever med invandrarbakgrund i den svenska skolan är många. Kulturella skillnader såsom religion och levnadssätt kan bidra till segregation men även de bristfälliga kunskaperna i det svenska språket hos vissa elever med utländsk bakgrund kan vara en bidragande faktor.
