Syftet med denna uppsats var att ta reda på hur förskollärare upplever att barns utveckling och lärande främjas, hur de upplever sin roll samt vilka fördelar och hinder de upplever i utomhusverksamheten. För att ta reda på detta genomfördes semistrukturerade, kvalitativa intervjuer med fem stycken förskollärare med utgångspunkt från en intervjuguide. Resultatet vi kom fram till var att alla förskollärarna hade en positiv inställning till utomhusverksamhet och att barns utveckling och lärande främjas på ett annat sätt utomhus än inomhus. Förskollärarna såg olika på sin roll och nämnde flera olika egenskaper bl.a. att vara vägledande.

Purpose: The aim of this thesis has been to study and obtain greater understanding of the consequences of active social media use. Specifically, in terms of social identity, social life and the sense of belonging. Secondly, the thesis studies the consequences of disconnecting and for a limited amount of time opt out of the social media context.Method/material:  The study is based on an explorative, cultural ethnographically-inspired method, in which four respondents were studied: two men and two women, all frequent users of social media. This was done in three steps: initial interviews, followed by social media diaries and finally a focus group. By allowing these methods to complement each other, the goal was to create an overall picture of the importance of social media in their everyday lives.The study's focus lies on the week in which the respondents kept social media diaries.

Hållbarhet är idag en term som figurerar i en mängd olika sammanhang och social hållbarhet framhävs som en viktig del i hållbarhetsarbetet både på nationell- och lokal nivå. På den lokala nivån finns aktörer som städer och kommuner vars arbete och visioner för att uppnå social hållbarhet formuleras i det planmaterial som tas fram både för stadens utveckling, men också för mindre enheter som stadsdelar och områden inom stadsdelarna. Idag finns det också en möjlighet att använda sig av miljöcertifieringssystemet Breeam Communities för att certifiera hela stadsdelar efter hur hållbara de är både avseende ekologisk-, ekonomisk- och social hållbarhet efter de krav som certifieringssystemet har. Jag avser i detta arbete undersöka om man kan spåra social hållbarhet genom att studera planmaterial som omfattar Malmö Stad och delar av området Masthusen i Västra Hamnen, då detta är det första område i Sverige som idag är delvis Breeamcertifierat. Arbetet har gjorts utifrån frågeställningen: Hur reflekteras aspekter av social hållbarhet genom planprocessen, från översiktsplan och aktualisering, värdeprogram, detaljplans-beskrivning till hållbarhetsprogram för certifiering? Huruvida man kan spåra social hållbarhet genom planprocessen har undersökts med metoden att använda indikatorer för social hållbarhet och spåra deras förekomst i planmaterialet. Då en vedertagen definition för begreppet social hållbarhet saknas har dessa indikatorer valts ut ur grupper av indikatorer för hållbarhet som Statistiska Centralbyrån tagit fram.

During the last years, the moral and ethics in companies has been a growing subject in media. Large multinational companies are to a bigger extent using workforce in developing countries and the working conditions at the workplaces in those countries, are more or less controlled. Even if a company carefully controls its own business, it can be using subcontractors that for instance use child labour or forced labour, or in some other way makes human rights abuses. When the world gets more globalized and the market where the companies act gets bigger, there will be new issues for companies to handle. The companies have to satisfy not only the interests of the costumers and the shareholders, but also the environment around it, containing many different stakeholders.

Elevhälsovård ska erbjuda multidisciplinärt stöd till alla elever i grundskola och gymnasieskola, för att främja lärande, god allmän utveckling och en god hälsa hos varje elev. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva barns och ungdomars erfarenheter av elevhälsovård inom grund- och gymnasieskolan. Att undersöka elevers erfarenheter har inte varit vanligt inom skolhälsovården i Sverige. De flesta omvårdnadsvetenskapliga undersökningar har hittills grundat sig på skolsköterskors uppfattningar om skolhälsovårdens betydelse. Sjutton artiklar som motsvarade syftet analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys.

The purpose of this essay was to inquire how workplace conflicts are managed at a number of public social services offices in south-western Skåne. This essay's main research questions were: What organizational factors determine how conflicts arise and are managed in a work environment? To what extent are such factors prevalent at the above-mentioned social services offices? Are certain conflicts typically prevalent in the public social services? If so, what are they? How does the workplace in question manage the conflicts that arise? The inquiry was conducted among the staff of three public social services offices, applying the vignette method. According to previous research, certain system conflicts are typically prevalent in public sector organizations, which adversely affect the work conditions of social workers at the organization's professional level. Two examples each of this conflict type and of interpersonal conflict were included in the inquiry.

This thesis highlights the complex relationship between social movements and the mass media. The new social movements really have to struggle to get access to the media sphere, often enforced to use spectacular media strategies, and at the same time maintain their political messages. This struggle gives us reason to question the liberal notion of the media as a neutral arena for political communication and debate. In fact we argue that the media industry should be seen as a powerful actor and that the mass media serves to maintain and enforce an ideology that serves the political and economic elites in the liberal capitalist democracy. The Social movements that seek to question these elites and present an alternative, as they did during the EU-meeting in Gothenburg 2001, quite clearly gets far from neutral media image of the political actions taking place instead the are portrayed as violent or associated with violence and not presented as legitimate or believable political subjects..

Barns musikaliska intresse och utveckling kan bero på föräldrarnas påverkan genom uppväxten. I den här rapporten presenteras resultatet av kvalitativa intervjuer med sex mammor med barn i en ålder under två år. Tre av mammorna ägnar sig åt musik i sin profession, medan de andra tre har ett mer allmänt musikintresse. Oberoende av föräldrarnas bakgrund visar det sig att de anser musikalisk stimulering vara någonting viktig och nyttig för deras barns utveckling. Till exempel har alla i intervjugruppen deltagit i någon form av musikalisk aktivitet ämnad för barn.

Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to describe the social media usage of five European official national tourism organizations (NTO). The essay proceeds to discuss and evaluate the findings, whilst reflecting on the advantages of social media usage from the point of view of an official national tourism organization.Method: The authors used three different methods of research: one structured observation to study the national tourism organizations? everyday work in social media, one field stimulation to study if and how different NTO respond if a prospective visitor makes them a direct question via social media and finally an email interview to gain insight into NTO?s underlying strategies and policies about social media usage.Theoretical framework: The theories that have been used in this paper include the Uses and gratifications model, theories of one-way and multi-way communication, theories of social media and relationship marketing.Conclusion: By making use of social media the company releases some of its control to the customers as the latter can express their opinions freely in this type of media. One of the advantages of social media is that the platform favors dialogue and feedback. Social media can be used for traditional one-way communication, but works best as a supplement to the regular marketing activities, allowing the activities on social media platforms to focus on branding and building long-term customer relationships.
