På vilket sätt man kan nå ut till alla elever för att upptäcka och motverka uppkomst av narkotika. Likaså avsåg jag att ta del av de tankar rektorerna har kring de kriterier som Statens skolverk utformat för en god drogundervisning, liksom hur deras egna strategier förhåller sig mot dessa.

This essay is about power in the classroom. It is about the power dimension of the student-teacher relationships that arise in that space. The overall aim has been to investigate which categories are fruitful in a power analysis of these relationships. My aim has therefore been to develop power categories and to use them to identify and to categorise cases of power interaction that take place between those particular actors in that particular setting.In order to gather material for my study I have both read literature that approaches the study of the student-teacher relationships from a power perspective and done a series of observations in a high school.My theoretical frame comprises a concept of power and a series of power categories. These categories include strength, authority, inducement, coercion, violence, resistance as well as to possess power, to have power, to exert power, the scope of power and the base of power.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the employability of newly graduated social workers is affected by the Supervised Practical Work Experience performed during the educational program. Four main questions were developed in order to establish an educated and concise theory: Does the newly graduated social worker?s choice of a specific Supervised Practical Work Experience affect their employability? Does the structure of the Supervised Practical Work Experience affect newly graduated social worker?s employability? What specific skills do employers within social work consider important for their organization? Is there a difference in how the representatives of various organizations within social work answer the aforementioned questions? The study was conducted through six qualitative semi-structured interviews. The people being interviewed work either as employers or recruiters in organizations from different areas within social work. Theories concerning organization and symbolic interactions were used during the analysis of the results.

Working life is an arena that often reflects attitudes that already exist in our society. When alcohol- and drug abuse is detected among employees the employer has a statutory responsibility for rehabilitation. But the way how these employees gets to be treated is also influenced by attitudes. The purpose of this essay was to illustrate from a gender perspective how women's and men's alcohol- and drug abuse occur in working life and how the attitudes in our society towards their abuse reflect on trade life. Referring that, our intention was also to examine which consequences are given of how the individual is treated.

Syfte: Den här uppsatsen avsåg att genom en deskriptiv litteraturstudie beskriva vad litteraturen säger om hur estetiska inslag i vården kan främja hälsa.Metod: Data till studien inhämtades från databaserna Cinahl och Discovery samt via fritextsökningar, vilket resulterade i 16 artiklar.Resultat: Artiklarna tar upp viktiga aspekter gällande hur estetik kan användas som ett komplement till, eller substitut för många olika läkemedel såsom analgetiska preparat samt lugnande och ångestdämpande. Konvalescensen kunde förkortas enbart genom att se till att det fanns fönster med en utsikt samt släppte in solljus. Estetik kunde påverka det psykiska tillståndet, lindra depressioner, rädsla och oro samt höja känslan av glädje och välmående. Avsaknaden av exempelvis naturligt ljus kunde förvärra patientens tillstånd. Estetik visades även kunna skänka copingstrategier till exempelvis barn som inte ännu hunnit utveckla några egna positiva sådana.Slutsats: Estetik kan vara ett potent redskap som ej bör förbises inom vården.

That animals should be able to express their natural behaviours, even in captivity, has become a more important issue lately. Nowadays Zoos work much more with educating people and helping conservation projects for endangered species. This is two important reasons for making the environment as natural as possible for zoo animals. Both in captivity and in the wild capuchin monkeys have been seen to use tools such as stones and sticks to get food and are therefore seen as a natural and important behaviour for them. This study was carried out to evaluate a specific sort of environmental enrichment where a group of three capuchins had to use sticks to get different kinds of food out of bottles.

Detta examensarbete undersöker om det finns skillnader i problemnivå inom olika livsområden beroende på grad av cannabisbruk. Examensarbetet är en kvantitativstudie som genom ett antal statistiska analyser jämför tre grupper av unga vuxna samt predicerar sannolikheten för vilka som löper störst risk att vara regelbundna cannabisanvändare. Resultatet tyder på att problemnivån ökar inom flera livsområden beroende på grad av cannabisbruk.
