I denna uppsats undersöktes en mindre kommun i Sverige som har gjort om sin politiska och tjänstemannamässiga organisation under de sista 20 åren. Jag ville ta reda på varför man förändrade sin organisation och hur skolorganisationen uppfattas idag 2010. Undersökningen har gjorts genom intervjuer och forskning av protokoll och kommunala rapporter. Ett svar jag fick genom min undersökning, angående varför man har förändrat sin organisation var att man ansåg att den tidigare organisationen var förlegad och skapade stuprör. Man ansåg att dagens samhälle var för komplext för den gamla organisationen.  Resultatet av undersökningen av vad som äger rum inom skolorganisationen är att det skiljer sig mellan papper och verklighet i uppfattning.

If well-functioning waste management systems were developed, this could master some of the problems. The already existing local informal waste handling system that is common in many low-income countries, needs to be developed with proper sorting and composting solutions to decrease the environmental burden and improve the overall situation in the dense cities. This master?s thesis project is performed with the intention of developing functional decentralised waste management units in the city of Pune, India.

This study is an assignment from the council of Södra Småland county to investigate how equality between boys and girls progresses at compulsory schools in Kronoberg county. The study was undertaken to find suggestions on how work with equality could best be stimulated.The key question was to elaborate how a decentralized rule and structural context of an organisation can affect an implementation of political decisions. The methodological approach adopted can be defined as inductive, it was analysed how the respondents from some selected schools in Kronoberg county themselves relate to the concept of equality between men and women and their experience and understanding of how the concept of equality between sex is understood in their work at school.School-legislation today demands that active measures are undertaken to promote equality between boys and girls and in general almost all the respondents of my study describe equality as an utterly important question. My findings although, at the same time, indicate a gap between rhetoric and practice. The findings of my study suggest that structural relations and a decentralised organisation can constitute a hindrance for implementing equality between men and women in schools.
