Syftet med studien är att inom anhörigprogram få ta del av yrkesverksammas erfarenheter och upplevelser av hur syskon till en person med missbruksproblematik påverkas. Syftet är också att få kunskap om hur yrkesverksamma bemöter syskon till personer med missbruksproblematik och vilken form av behandlingsinterventioner som erbjuds inom området. Metoden bygger på en kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerande intervjuer för att på bästa sätt belysa intervjupersonernas egna berättelser och upplevelser. Resultatet visar att syskon har gemensamma specifika problemområden på grund av en persons missbruksproblematik. Syskon kan belastas med mycket ansvar då de ska hjälpa sitt syskon samtidigt som de vill avlasta föräldrarna.

Bakgrund: Anorexia nervosa innebär att under en tid avsiktligen undvika intag av kaloririk föda. Ofta går även kroppsaktiviteten till överdrift. Statistik visar på att en procent av Sveriges befolkning i åldrarna 13-30 har diagnosen. Då sjukdomen inte är ovanlig är det av stor vikt att sjuksköterskan har kunskap om sjukdomen och personernas upplevelse. Syfte: Personers upplevelse av att leva med anorexia nervosa.

Studies have shown that young people in residential care homes tend to be low achievers in school and are at high risk of entering adulthood with a low level of education. This group has also shown tendency to adverse psychosocial outcomes. The aim with this study is to reach an understanding of how teenagers and young adults view themselves and their future, what ambitions they have in life and how they see their opportunities to realize their goals. The study is based on a qualitative method and was conducted with semi structured personal interviews with five youngsters 15-21 years old in two different residential care homes. The theoretical viewpoints have been based on E.H Erikson?s theory about identity as well as the theory about resilience.The result of this study indicates that the persons we have interviewed have expressed difficulties in describing themselves.

Abstract: The purpose with this study was to explore different peoples preconceived opinions of three psychiatric diagnoses; Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), schizophrenia and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). These designations are accompanied by a definite social stigma, which could have profound effects on a person diagnosed with either disorder. These designations carry the risk of excluding and labelling individuals and could provoke a feeling of abnormality and potentially segregate them from the Community. This study is a qualitative study of six individuals, (sample size equals six). The rationale behind the selection was to get a broad representation of different individuals? opinions.

In this essay I want to investigate how the poodle strategy affects a person?s credibility when he or she uses it. The poodle strategy is a strategy, which someone uses when he or she is scrutinized by the media. It?s primary purpose is to suppress further media coverage but it is also a strategy for defending oneself and hence rescuing one?s reputation either as a private person or as an official.The essay?s research questions are:How has the strategy been applied for defensive purposes and what are the results?To which extent can the Stasis theory and Benoit?s theory on Apologia be connected to the strategy?Does the strategy affect the user?s credibility?To answer these questions four cases from the political sphere in Sweden where persons have been said to have ?done a poodle? have been analyzed.

Eftersom vi båda har genomgått inriktningen matematik för tidigare år känns det naturligt att valet av examensarbete föll på ämnet matematik. Vi har var sitt barn som går i klass 3 men de är av olika kön detta har förstärkt vår motivation till detta arbete. Vi vill undersöka vad för sorts attityd de olika könen har till ämnet matematik i en klass tre i Piteå kommun. Med attityd menar vi ?en persons inställning till något? (Svenska Akademins Ordlista, 1998).

In this paper we investigate whether power structures in organizations have an influence in the process that leads to burnout. We analyze if these power structures affect the individual?s health condition toward burnout in a way that leads to disability and subsequent absence from work. In the study, six persons who all have been unable to work due to burnout have been studied through qualitative, semi-structured interviews. The material have been coded with three different themes; leadership and hierarchy, responsibility and delegation of responsibility and performance and loyalty.

During the study's first stage we noticed that the Swedish term ? utanförskap? was constructed for political purposes, the term?s ambiguity what was first raised our interest. Therefore the aims of this study was to examine how social workers at the social welfare office and the labor market related project Framtid Kronoberg  as well as politicians within the administration of Arbete & Välfärd (Work & Welfare) relates to utanförskap as a social phenomenon. The study?s second aim was to examine how the aforementioned persons consider utanförskap to be counteracted among young adults.

During the last years social media have developed and become a place where all kind of people can meet and interact with each other without any kind of physical contact to one another. We belive that this development also has made it easier for political parties and organisations to spread their propaganda to the people that uses social media without them knew from whom the information is coming. With this in mind we decided to do a study about the social media Facebook and how the users of Facebook think they are being influenced by political propaganda from organisations and private persons. In our study we decided that we wanted to know why our respondents are using Facebook, if they have payed attention to two political questions, one international question and one national question, that have been noticed recently and if they feel that they are being influenced of political propaganda when they are using Facebook. We have concluded that our respondents, depending on how old they are, do feel that they are being influenced by political propaganda when they are using Facebook. We have also noticed that the younger part of our respondents feel that they are using Facebook because their friends do it and that they have noticed the international political question more than the national political question. In the older category of respondents the reason of why they are using Facebook was to maintain a conection with their friends and they had noticed the national political question more than the international political question. .

Vi har i detta arbete valt att djupintervjua en erfaren lärare och ta del av dennes livsberättelse. Den lärarforskning som bedrivits har i många fall fokuserat endast på lärarens praktiska arbete. För att förstå undervisningen till fullo, är det av vikt att också veta någonting om personen bakom arbetet, detta med tanke på att en persons erfarenheter sätter prägel på undervisningen. Vårt syfte med detta arbete har varit att genom livshistoriemetoden få förståelse för vilka avgörande händelser (så kallade critical incidents) som påverkat en lärare under dennes lärargärning. För att uppnå vårt syfte har vi använt oss av en kvalitativ ansats, där vi valt att observera och intervjua den berörda läraren.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att försöka ta reda på om en kristen gudstro kan utgöra en salutogen faktor vid svåra kriser enligt teorierna om logoterapin och KASAM. Samtal med några personer som har gått igenom traumatiska kriser och som tycktes använda sig av sin gudstro i krishanteringen, fick mig att börja reflektera över hur en persons livsåskådning påverkar hans eller hennes sätt att handskas med kriser. Jag har använt mig av två metoder; litteraturstudier och intervjuer, för att kunna jämföra mitt empiriska intervjumaterial med teorier om logoterapin och KASAM. I resultatet framkom det att gudstro under vissa förutsättningar kan utgöra en salutogen och meningsskapande faktor vid större kriser. Dock måste gudstron vara flexibel, obetingad och trygg för att kunna bevaras och förbli funktionell som meningssystem efter en större kris.
