Social enterprises make up one of the groups of participants that provide welfare services financed by public funding. The object of this study is to describe and analyze from a theoretical point of view which conditions, in what fields, by which division of responsibility and finally through what decisions these social enterprises are allocated a place in the market for social welfare services. The company that has been the object of study offers services in the field of social welfare and in employment. In the study a triangulation of qualitative methods has been used: studies of literature on the subject, recurrent interviews and observations and also reviews of documents. The results have been analyzed from theories on the space available on the market for social services, on social economy and on social capital in the form of strong, weak and bridging bonds.

Syftet med vår undersökning var att se i vilken grad eleverna har förståelse för begreppet hållbar utveckling. Då hållbar utveckling är ett mycket vitt begrepp har vi avgränsat oss till att behandla den konflikt som uppstår mellan ekonomiska, sociala och miljömässiga synvinklar i hållbar utveckling. Vi ville även undersöka om eleverna visar att de har handlingskompetens i miljöfrågor. För att uppnå detta genomförde vi en enkätundersökning på två skolor i Norrbotten samt att vi intervjuade ett urval av dessa elever. Vår undersökning visade att eleverna visade förståelse för konflikten i hållbar utveckling men däremot kunde vi inte se om de hade någon större handlingskompetens..

I större organisationer finns ett behov av att säkerställa att organisationens olika verksamheter arbetar efter samma lönestrategi och mot samma mål, samtidigt som lokala verksamheter måste anpassa direktiv och policys som förs ner genom organisationen till sin kontext. Syftet med studien är att genom en fallstudie skapa en förståelse för hur individuell lön praktiseras och organiseras inom en stor offentlig verksamhet samt skapa en djupare förståelse för kopplingen mellan policy, strategi och lönesättning. Organisationen som studeras är Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhus och HR-avdelningen centralt på Västra Götalandsregionen.Studien har genomförts med en kvalitativ metod. Det empiriska materialet utgörs av fem semistrukturerade intervjuer med lönesättande chefer och två fokusgruppsintervjuer med HR- medarbetare. Intervjuerna har transkriberats och analyserats med tematisk analysmetod och empirin har kopplats till teori och tidigare forskning.Studien fann att en av de huvudsakliga avsikterna med lönepolitiken i organisationen var att motivera medarbetarna, men att det bland respondenterna fanns en varierad syn på sambandet mellan lönesättning och motivation.

Medarbetarsamtal i grupp är ett relativt nytt och outforskat ämne. Den här uppsatsen undersöker fenomenet medarbetarsamtal i grupp, och bygger på en fallstudie gjord på Pilkington i Halmstad. Syftet var att med utgångspunkt i medarbetarnas upplevelser analysera vilka förutsättningar för individens utveckling som skapas i medarbetarsamtal i grupp. För att uppnå syftet genomfördes en kvalitativ undersökning med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex medarbetare som alla hade haft medarbetarsamtal i grupp.Resultaten pekar mot att de förutsättningar som ges för individens utveckling i medarbetarsamtal i grupp på Pilkington i många avseenden inte lever upp till förväntningarna. Det visade sig att feedback, reflektion, målsättning, attityder och uppriktighet på olika sätt bildar förutsättningar för individens utveckling i medarbetarsamtal i grupp.

Abstrakt Social Engineering är konsten att manipulera människor, för att på så sätt vinna deras förtroende. Med hjälp av detta förtroende kan attackeraren sedan kringgå säkerhetssystem och få tillgång till organisationers information. Vi har i denna uppsats genomfört elva intervjuer på tre stora organisationer med både IT-chefer och övrig personal. Med dessa intervjuer har vi sedan försökt få en bild av hur medvetenheten ser ut samt vilka åtgärder organisationerna tar för att förhindra Social Engineering. Med denna uppsats vill vi belysa den ovisshet som råder kring Social Engineering, men även farorna och hur effektiv en attack av denna typ kan vara.

The aim of this essay was to investigate how social workers, within chosen Social services districts in the northwest of Skåne, work with children placed in foster care. Our purpose was to investigate the interaction between the child and the foster home from the perspective of the Ecology of Human Development. Our questions were:* How do the social worker prepare the child and the foster home before a placement?* What kind of support is offered to the foster home with the purpose of supporting the child?* How do the social worker make the childs contact with the biological parents easier?* To what degree does the social worker work on strengthening the child's network?* Which factors do the social worker decide the allocation of support?* What do the social worker think affects the work with the foster home from a society level?To answer our question we have interviewed nine social workers. We found that the social workers were generally good at perceiving how the micro- and meso-systems, and to a certain extent the exo-system, influenced the foster child.

This essay deals with development in Latin America. We have picked out some factors that the theories in development theory emphasize on. The first section of the study consists of a statistical analysis, were the main purposes are to study the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent and to choose which two countries we should focus on in the next section. The countries we decided to study were Costa Rica and Nicaragua, because these countries have shown very different levels of development. From this study we have concluded that political stability, economical investements and human investments are the most important factors when creating development..

Adolescence is more and more characterized by messages containing allusions and attitudes through social agents (family, friends, school and media). Therefore the purpose of this study was to investigate what significance the social agents and their messages, concerning sexuality, have in relation to young people's thoughts, questions and socialisation.The study is made from the young people's perspective. Our target group was 15 to 16-year-olds in ninth grade at a compulsory school in Sweden. The quantitative part of the study consisted of an anonymous and voluntary questionnaire among the students. To achieve a greater variety we made an interview as a complementary addition in which nine students participated.We found our main theoretical starting point in Anthony Giddens's theories about social agents, modernity, post modernity and sexuality.The conclusion was that the young people in our study foremost associated sexuality to sex, love, relationships and sexual orientation.

During the three first centuries A.D the cult to roman emperor was practiced over the absolute majority of the known world. It was based on the idea of the deified ruler, where religion was used as a way of legitimizing a social position of an absolute few. It arrived from below but was promoted and spread from above as a way of governmental control. During the same period of time did a new aristocratic social group emerge in remote Scandinavia that eagerly sought new ways to identify themselves and their newly found social standing. With a base consisting of an economic surplus they wanted to create an acceptance for their new way of life and thus in doing so change the very foundation and core beliefs of their own society.The central theme of this study is the cultural exchange that took place between these two cultural spheres and mainly of the effect that the cult to the roman emperor had on the emergence and identification process of the Scandinavian aristocracy..

Syftet med denna studie var att erhålla kunskap om individens syn på den mentala arbetsmiljön. Dessutom var syftet att utreda ett eventuellt samband mellan acceptans av IT-systemet och den individuella effektiviteten i callcenterarbete. Tidigare forskning hävdar att högre användbarhet, som är en del av användaracceptansen, hos systemet höjer effektiviteten i utnyttjandet. TAM påstår att de två delarna användarvänlighet och användbarhet har en grundläggande betydelse för användaracceptansen (Davis, 1986). Ett callcenter är en komplex arbetsplats där personalen hanterar olika IT-system, ofta under tidspress.

Syftet med denna studie är att ur ett sociokulturellt perspektiv få ökad insikt om och förståelse för hur ungdomars medvetenhet om demokratiska värdegrunder framträder. Syftet är också att se om fritidsgården som lärandemiljö möjliggör ungdomars utveckling av interkulturell kompetens. Influerade av etnografisk ansats har vi med hjälp av observationer och gruppintervju samt genom samtal med fritidsledare kommit fram till vårt resultat. Resultatet visar på att fritidsgården utgör en lärandemiljö och att ungdomars medvetenhet framträdde, i både ord och handling, i gemenskapen på fritidsgården. Den sociala gemenskapen utgör en viktig faktor för lärande och utveckling för ungdomar.
