The aim of this study was to examine how the social services could investigate and support children of irregular immigrants within the boundaries of the law. More specifically it aimed to examine the legal possibilities and obstacles for the social services to support irregular immigrants, how the officials at the social services act considering the legal aspects, and how they reason morally and ethically when dealing with irregular immigrants. To answer the aim of the study the theory of positive law was used combined with qualitative interviews with two officials at the social services. Moreover a small quantitative telephone study with officials in the social services and with voluntary organizations was made. The study has used theories of sociology of law, law and ethics, and professional (civil) disobedience.

Mot bakgrund av den ökade rörlighet som idag kan skönjas på arbetsmarknaden och de följder det får i form av tillfälliga behov att hyra in personal syftar föreliggande uppsats att ge svar på frågan om vilka organisatoriska konsekvenser integrationen av inhyrd personal kan få för kompetens och lärande.Centrala är frågorna om hur inhyrd personal integreras med organisationen, hur individens kompetens tas tillvara och hur möjligheterna till lärande ser ut. För att uppnå syftet genomfördes intervjuer med låg grad av standardisering och strukturering mot bakgrund av kvalitativa och induktiva utgångspunkter.Resultatet visade att i de fall integrationen av inhyrd personal leder till att konstruktiva relationer skapas och att man bibehåller en nödvändig stabilitet i dessa relationer kan det ge konstruktiva följder i form av att kompetens bärs, upprätthålls och utvecklas mellan individer och grupper. Detta kräver att organisationen skapar förutsättningar för ett sådant samspel och att den organiserar för lärande annars riskerar arbetsplatsens relationik att slitas sönder vilket kan ledat till att lärprocesser och individuell konstruktion av kompetens utarmas..

Vi har även sett att elevernas reflektioner rör de aspekter som definierar hållbar utveckling, nämligen ekologiska, ekonomiska och sociala..

SammanfattningInsatsen personlig assistans inrättades 1994 i samband med att rättighetslagstiftningen lagen (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade, LSS, började gälla. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda vilka kriterier som den enskilde, som på grund av sitt psykiska funktionshinder ingår i 1 § 3 LSS, måste uppfylla för att beviljas insatsen personlig assistans.I uppsatsen definieras psykiskt funktionshinder och kommunens ansvar gentemot de personer med dessa handikapp klargörs. Vidare utreds alla kriterier som den funktionshindrade måste uppfylla för att beviljas personlig assistans eller ekonomisk ersättning för sådan.Personlig assistans är främst till för dem som har fysiska funktions¬hinder och/eller ett mycket omfattande hjälpbehov. Det är här diskussionen om psykiskt funktions¬hindrade ska beviljas assistans uppstår. Psykiskt funktionshindrade kan i regel sköta sina grund¬lägg¬ande behov rent fysiskt, men är i behov av ?påputtning? eftersom de har problem med att påbörja sysslor i den dagliga livsföringen.

Syftet med vårt arbete är att undersöka hur en grupp gymnasielever resonerar kring sambandet mellan konsumtion och hållbar utveckling. Vi undrar även hur eleverna ser på skolans roll i lärande för hållbar utveckling. Arbetet är baserat på två kvalitativa fokusgruppsintervjuer med gymnasieelever från två olika program och skolor. Fyra omvårdnadselever på den ena skolan deltog i en fokusgruppsintervju medan de övriga fyra eleverna, som gick i samhällsprogrammet på en annan skola, deltog i den andra fokusgruppsintervjun. Resultatet visade att de flesta eleverna förstår hur konsumtion kan påverka omvärlden och att de även känner att de kan påverka genom medvetna konsumtionsval. I det här sammanhanget lyfter eleverna fram empatiskt förhållningssätt som nyckeln till att skapa engagemang. Eleverna upplever att de lever i två kunskapsvärldar, en i skolan och en utanför skolan.

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka vårdnadshavares tankar kring IUP (Individuella utvecklingsplanen) och utvecklingssamtal. Undersökningen har utförts genom formella intervjuer som riktats till vårdnadshavare, vars barn går i år 1?3, och som nyligen varit på utvecklingssamtal. Sammanlagt har åtta vårdnadshavare intervjuats i två olika mellansvenska kommuner. Att vi gjort vår studie på olika platser i Sverige är för att öka den empiriska bredden, men vi har inte haft för avsikt att utföra någon jämförelse mellan de olika rektorsområdena.

Is social media becoming a new form of interview? This is a quantitative study about the use of quotations from social media in Swedish newspapers. We chose the online editions of two of Sweden?s biggest newspapers for this, namely aftonbladet.se and dn.se.Although we noticed a big difference between the more serious dn.se and the more scandal-oriented aftonbladet.se both newspaper still frequently used quotations from social media.The thing that we found most troublesome about this phenomenon was the fact that we found that journalists very rarely contacted the person whose quotations they used. That meant that the interviewee had a very slim chance of correcting any misunderstandings.It also opened up the opportunity for certain people to use the media to spread their own agendas without getting questioned.We used the social institutionalizing theory and the social responsibility theory to verify our findings.

Purpose of this study is to describe and analyze school social work in rural area and being alone in social work at the school welfare/health team and how this affects the individual, professionally and privately.The theoretical framework highlights the empirical data through Goffman's dramaturgical perspective. The study highlights school social workers role on the scene as Goffman divided as the front and rear arena and how school social worker find strategies to cope with it alone work it takes to be a counselor in rural areas.One way to handle her role involves acting in one of the following three characters: the self-employed, infiltrator and tough guy.The study describes how the social worker harboring the stress in the profession; through recovery - physical and mental, on the back stage, backstage.On stage there are other players such as student health team, which also acts and affect what happens on the front stage.School social workers are working hard to position itself in relation to other professions in student welfare/health team and to have a mandate to act.In the analysis, it appears that the school social workers want a clearer role profession/ occupation profession and mandate to act, which may be complicated by today is the only counselor in student welfare/health team lacking identity. There is also a desire for further/ continuing education, but this is seen as an organizational pitfall when the manager does not have the same educational background as school social worker.Ultimately, it is the peripatetic life as a social worker at the school who is considered the most exhausting part of the work as a school social worker in a rural area. There is a great desire among the interviewed school social workers to have fewer schools to relate to and work on..
