The main purpose of this study was that, in the light of theories of how street level bureaucrats may affect the implementation of political decisions, examine and analyze the social workers interpretations of the child perspective's impact on the handling of social assistance, and what opportunities and/or limitations they feel that the organizational preconditions means for the application. The survey had a qualitative research approach and consisted of eight thematic interviews with a total of ten respondents operating in five different municipalities. Eight of the respondents were social workers dealing directly with social assitance and two had managerial positions. The results of the interviews were then analyzed with the help of an actor-structure approach to implementation and Michael Lipskys theory of street-level bureaucrats and their role as policy makers. The results of the survey showed that the respondents had relatively similar views on the child perspectives implications for work with social assistance.

Social media, with its immense and continuous flow of information, has in recent years growntremendously in terms of users and content. This increase has led companies and organizations keen to be seen within these channels of communication, but do they always have a clear idea of how andwhy, and are they aware of the risks that are associated with it? Current research on social media is somewhat divided in two. The debate concerns, among other things, what value the information on social media has, and whether the media is really a good communication channel or not. This raises several questions, for example can a company really afford to remain outside of social media with allthe information it generates? This research aims at answering these questions in order to further understand how organizations discuss social media presence and strategies.

Det grundläggande syftet med undersökningen var att undersöka hur gruppkonstellationen påverkar elevernas grovmotoriska utveckling i ämnet idrott och hälsa. Många elever upplever osäkerhet i samband med motoriska aktivititeter på idrottslektionen på grund av den exponerade position som uppstår. Den motoriska utvecklingen är mycket väsentlig ur ett helhetsperspektiv för eleven och den kollektiva utformningen på undervisningen kan begränsa individens personliga utveckling. Kunskapsbakgrunden till undersökningen bygger på hur sociokulturella förhållningssätt påverkar de biologiska utvecklingsprocesser som alla barn och ungdomar genomgår. Alla elever genomgår stora förändringar både fysiskt och psykiskt under högstadieperioden och blir föremål för en social formgivningsprocess.

Syftet med vår studie var att undersöka hur förskollärarna på förskolor som har fått utmärkelsen Skola för hållbar utveckling arbetar med hållbar utveckling i förskolan, ta reda på hur förskollärares förståelse för hållbar utveckling ser ut och i vilken mån förskollärarna i sitt arbete utgår från de tre aspekterna ekonomiskt, socialt och ekologiskt hållbar utveckling. Vi valde att använda oss av kvalitativa individuella intervjuer. Vi har intervjuat fem förskollärare från två olika kommuner, varav tre stycken arbetade på samma förskola men på olikaavdelningar. Resultatet av vår studie visar både på likheter samt olikheter i förskollärarnas arbetssätt med hållbar utveckling i förskolan, där temainriktat arbete, återvinning samt barns delaktighet är sådant som präglar förskolornas arbete. Barns delaktighet och medvetenhet om hållbar utveckling lyfts fram av förskollärarna som viktiga delar i deras förståelse av hållbar utveckling.

Social enterprises are increasingly gaining ground as an organisational form in Sweden, however the institutional structures for financing these types of organisations are yet to be established. With its usual origin within the civic society, social enterprises prioritise a higher goal than to maximise economic profit, which often causes these organisations to be dependent upon resources from external constituents within its institutional environment. The aim of this study was to examine how a social enterprise, which derives from the civic society, acts to mobilise resources from constituents in its institutional environment. This was executed through a case study of Jordbro Världsorkester (JVO) - a typical organisation in the civic society which takes the form of a social enterprise - by identifying how assets were used to gain resources in strategic responses to institutional processes and examining how institutional processes affects how JVO acts. Throughout the study, qualitative interviews were conducted with JVO and constituents in its institutional environment and a theoretical framework was developed which explains how capital is used to gain more capital in an emergent strategy of strategic responses as the organisation gets in contact with institutional processes from its institutional environment.

?The modern library in the network society?A study of cultural politicians and librarians opinions about libraries' use of social mediaSocial media is becoming more and more interacted in our daily lives and Carlsson (2013) argues that today's libraries have undergone major challenges in the digital information technology's entry in the library arena. The new technology has led to sum up in one question: how a library should relate to the digital information technology, the issue has applied in particular the social communications media, such as Facebook, Twitter and more. The purpose of this paper is to examine the culture of politicians and librarians 'perceptions of public libraries' use of social media linked to the libraries and their democracy promotion efforts. This is analyzed from Castells theories about the network society and the digital divide.In summary, the study concluded that the majority of the culture politicians and librarians believe that social media is a part of the future of the library.

Mänskligheten står idag vid ett vägskäl. Antingen fortsätter vi agera på samma sätt som vi gör idag för att möta våra behov, men med det vägvalet är de flesta överens om att en hållbar utveckling inte är möjlig. Vårt tidigare agerande är en stark bidragande orsak till de ekonomiska, miljömässiga och sociala kriser vi idag upplever. Alternativet är att ändra vårt agerande genom att hitta lösningar, metoder och skapa nya attityder för att möta våra behov på ett sätt som möjliggör en hållbar utveckling. Det är en svår uppgift som kräver ett engagemang på bred front och att alla aktörer i samhället tar ett ansvar.Detta har bidragit till uppkomsten av termen Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) som berör kombinationer av åtaganden som är viktiga för företagen att integrera i sitt arbete för att styra sin påverkan på samhället.

Today there is still irrelevant pay differential in society. In Sweden in 2010, the average pay differential was 15,4 percent between the sexes. Only 0,8 percent better than EU:s average.In Sweden the individual salaries increasingly have begun to characterize the Swedish labor market. Based on this, the aim of this study is to highlight the issue of equal pay between men and women from the perspective of individual salary. This would also been doing with a background in the regulatory environment of equal pay.When it comes to equality between women and men it is the area of labor law in EU who is the most developed and in Sweden this is the area who is most affected by EU law.

The aim of this study was to examine the view of social service workers on the secondary housing market based upon their work with social investigations regarding people with a difficult substance abuse. The foundation of this study rests upon a phenomenon, which according to other scholars, occurs in the secondary housing market in Sweden. The secondary housing market consists of a multitude of housing projects that social services provide for people who are homeless. The phenomenon is that the secondary housing market contains a number of demands aimed at the clients who live in these housing projects. If a client fails to live up to the demands it can sometimes lead to negative consequences which results in an exclusion from the housing projects.

This paper deals whit the problems concerning social organisation in the county of Dalarna in middle Sweden during the Middle Ages 1050- 1528. This paper also deals whit the every day ife in Dalarna during the same period. In the paper archaeology, ethnology, history and osteology is used in order to create a so accurate as possibly picture of every day life at the farm, the villa and the keep. Each environment is compared to each other in order to try to see the social structure of the county. The geographic frame for the paper is the part of Sweden above the border zone of Limes Norrlandicus, or lower Norrland.The results presented in the paper shows that Dalarna most probably had a flat social organisation in the meaning that the every day life and its artefacts was much the same in all the environments.

The aim of the study was to examine how substance abuse influences social relationships to families, friends and others. Five ex addicts in a treatment centre were interviewed. We used thematic interviews with themes that we regarded as relevant for our study. In the analysis we applied the theoretical concept of symbolic interactionism. Theories of emotions also helped us to explain feelings that arise in the social relationships.

The aim of the thesis was to explore the attitudes toward social documentation held by care personnel, as well as factors that could have an impact on the process of social documentation. The study is based on a survey encompassing 100 respondents working as care personnel at six different eldercare units at Kungsholmen in Stockholm. The data was analyzed by quantitative methods, using a statistical software package (SPSS). The main questions in the study are whether the respondents know how, what and why they should document, what obstacles they experience and what they would need in order to document more or better, as well as whether there are factors that influence their attitudes and knowledge regarding documentation. The key results show that more time is the most common need, and lack of time the most common obstacle to social documentation reported by the respondents. Furthermore, the results show that those who report that they are satisfied with their working conditions are most likely to also report that they know how and why social documentation should be conducted. These results suggest that it is urgent for organizations to create good working conditions in order to increase motivation for social documentation. The results are analyzed using organizational theories.
