Introduction: In this study an innovative and multimodal method in family therapy called NVR, Non-Violent Resistence, is examined. NVR is an approach developed by Haim Omer, professor in psychology at the University of Tel Aviv. This approach is described as coming from the ancient ideological roots used by Gandhi in the Nonviolent resistence of oppressive regimes. NVR advocates that the parents give up the desire to control their children. Instead parents should take control of their own lives by actively resisting any behaviors of the child that are damaging.

Globalisering är något som de senaste åren blivit ett allt mer igenkänt begrepp bland oss människor, detta är något som berör både oss individer samt företagsvärlden. Den främsta anledningen till att detta är något som ligger i tiden beror på att numer finns möjligheterna, tekniken har tagit oss framåt vilket skapat ett behov bland oss människor av att se världen. Vi blir inte tillfredsställda förrän vi utnyttjat de möjligheter som finns. Det är bland annat företagen, och då främst världsföretagen, som format de möjligheter som uppkommit, genom bland annat sin företagskultur, ett fenomen inom ekonomi- och verksamhetsstyrningen. För att undersöka vilken egentlig påverkan denna företagskultur har på individer, som i allt större utsträckning rör sig på en arbetsmarknad som är av det globala slaget, har vi beslutat oss för att göra fallstudier på den svenska jätten IKEA.

Att finna en allmän accepterad definition av vad ledarskap verkligen innebär, är väldigt komplext. Det finns många olika definitioner på vad ledarskap är inom ledarskapslitteraturer. Det flesta har en bild av vad ledarskap är och vad en ledare sysslar med, men kan inte exakt definiera vad det egentligen betyder att vara ledare.Vad är ett bra ledarskap enligt medarbetarna? Författarnas huvudfråga som beskriver uppsatsens innehåll.Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka samt analysera vad som utmärker och kännetecknar ett bra ledarskap. Författarna ska även undersöka hur medarbetarna upplever ledarskapet samt huruvida motivation och inspiration från ledarna skapar trivsel på medarbetarnas arbetsplats.Den undersökning som författarna valde att fokusera på var 15 djupa personliga intervjuer med medarbetarna på IKEA i Barkarby.

The break up of the family unit leads to new living arrangements and significant changes for children. This can be an extremely upsetting experience for a child, especially if the child is old enough to understand what is happening. New living arrangements can effect a childs fundamental sense of security as well as having consequences later on in life. The object of this research paper was to examine how a group of seven people (children from split families who are now adults), interpreted and described their childhood in relation to the living arrangements they grew up with after the breakdown of the family unit. The main question areas we have examined are: How have the interviewee's living arrangements during childhood affected their understanding of themselves today? In what way has the adult's present day lifestyle been influenced by the split up of the family that they grew up with - using their own words? How do the children from split families describe and interpret concepts such as family and marriage, based on their own experiences? Our research was conducted with the help of seven people from split families who are now adults and who experienced different types of split family arrangements as a child ? permanent residence with mother/father or alternate living with both parents.

This paper takes it points of departure in a gender equality perspective and the perceived paradox between the governmental labour market policy and family policy. The first policy area has the aim to put people to work, whereas the other introduces a reform, vårdnadsbidraget, that point in the opposite direction. Which are the problem representations within the two policy areas and are the problem representations concordant or contradictive? From a constructivist perspective, langue is closely related to power through defining and ascribing meaning to reality. Drawing on political documents, speeches and articles formulated within the government, this paper analyzes problem representations through the use of discourse analysis and feminist political theory.

Den här undersökningen har studerat skillnader mellan arbetets påverkan på utbrändhet i Kina och Sverige. Studien hade för avsikt att se om skillnader förekom, vilka skillnader det var samt hur de yttrade sig. Studier inom området i Kina är mycket outforskat medan det i Sverige och övriga västvärlden talas om det dagligen. Resultatet av den här studien pekar på att skillnaderna mellan länderna knappt är förekommande. Detta kan till stor del bero på Ikeas organisationskultur.

Swedish family companies are facing a tremendous change in the form of generation changes because of the large part of owners that are about to retire. If all 45 000 to 50 000 family companies ceases to exist, Sweden looses a significant part of business trade.There are numbers of different methods for an older generation of owners to transfer their companies to a younger generation such as inheritance, gift, will, internal stock transfer, division?s etc., where inheritance is the most complex area. That an owner of a company dies without any plan for the future of the company is not preferable because the rules of legal successions occur. The law system regarding inheritance is usually not a good method since the surviving wife, who has the primary right to the inheritance, may not be interested in the company.

Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common hereditary disease that leads to an early death. Earlier CF was considered as a childhood disease but today the expected age is 50 years. CF affects all the epithelial cells in the body which makes mucus and other body fluids more viscous than normal. The thick mucus leads to among other things respiratory problems and infections of the lungs. Today there is no cure, only medicines that controls the symptoms.Aim: To describe parents experiences living with a child with CF.

Hur kan ett område utvecklas till att bli en attraktiv plats att bo på? I examensarbetet besvaras denna fråga bland annat utifrån intervjuer med personer som på olika sätt har varit inblandade i de olika projekt och projekteringsplaner som diskuteras/berörs i arbetet och utifrån enkäter genomförda bland anställda på IKEA. Enkätstudien genomfördes ursprungligen med syfte att utreda anställdas inställning till IKEA och Älmhult. Bland dem som fyllt i den finns både sådana som redan bor i Älmhult och sådana som i dagsläget pendlar in till Älmhult.En förutsättning för arbetet var att ett nytt område för exploatering skulle kunna utvecklas i form av en bomässa och därför har även en kartläggning av och jämförelse mellan ett antal tidigare bomässor genomförts. Frågor som behandlas är vad som har varit utmärkande för dessa bomässor och vad som har gett dem genomslagskraft.

The purpose of this study is to establish how a few youngsters have experienced their time in contact families and which, if any, significance their respective ?contact families? has for them today.

A qualitative method with a hermeneutic, phenomenologic perspective is applied and four interviews have been done with women who all grew up in an agricultural family. The results have been analysed through social constructive-, psychodynamic-, attachment- and cognitive theory. The results indicate that socialization is a complex process.
