Uppsatsen söker svar på frågan vad begreppet utanförskap innebär. För att få fram dess innebörd sker en analys av vad dess motsats innebär och hur urskiljandet sker. Den metod som används är en komparativ textanalys. Slutsatserna är att utanförskap innebär att individen inte finns på den marknad som övervakas och kontrolleras av statens administrativa lagstiftning. Lagstiftningen uttrycker inte någon moral utan är ett redskap för social kontroll och makt.

Det ökade inflödet på landets akutmottagningar ställer stora krav på sjukvårdspersonal att de ger patienterna ett snabbt och säkert omhändertagande. Sjuksköterskan har som uppgift att bedöma, prioritera alla vårdsökande samt dokumentera all viktig information. Bedömningen sker utifrån riktlinjer som är baserade på sökorsak. Dokumentationen av olika åtgärder har betydelse för det fortsatta vård- och behandlingsarbetet och kan vara helt avgörande för patientsäkerheten. Syftet med studien var att beskriva hur väl dokumentationen genomfördes i patientens journal vid besök på akutmottagning.

The EU- citizenship was established in the Maastricht Treaty in 1993. This citizenship involves rights to free movement, election rights to the European Parliament, diplomatic protection and the right to petition to the Ombudsman. In my analysis I discuss the implications of the EU- citizenship for the individual. The development and legal status of the union citizenship is examined in order to give a general understanding of the implications. In addition, I conduct a case study concerning the EU- citizenship's impact on workers rights.

Croatia became an independent country 1991 and has since then strived to reach a democracy level, which can lead to membership of the European Union. The purpose of this essay is on the basis of consolidate democratic perspective to illustrate Croatia?s democratic development.In order to fulfil the aim, I have applied a qualitative text analysis technique. Through analysis of books and documents, data was collected to accommodate a valid result. I have used consolidated democracy, with its five areas (political, civil, economic, legal and bureaucratic), as my theoretical framework to the data, to provide answers and develop an analysis.The conclusions show that the consolidate democracy in Croatia has developed a lot since the independence, and Croatia is on its good way to turn into a democratic state like other West-European countries.

The aim of this thesis is to examine the impact that clothing has in Margaret Atwood?s novel The Blind Assassin from 2000. The essay begins with a brief overview of how clothing has been acknowledged in different areas of research. The overview leads up to the conclusion that fashion, as well as clothing in large, has been overly ignored as a potentially fruitful subject of academic status. This is much due to the fact that fashion is traditionally regarded as being a classically feminine subject, as well as it can be said to be a result of fashion?s very elusive character.

Syftet med detta arbete är att synliggöra några förskolepedagogers förhållningssätt och vår förhoppning är att detta ska kunna vara till nytta för alla som arbetar med barn genom att de uppmärksammas på dess betydelse. Våra frågeställningar utgår ifrån det som vi har valt att titta på i vår undersökning; Vygotskijs teorier, det salutogena lösningsinriktade tankesättet, läroplanen för förskolan och dess syn på demokrati samt vikten av att se mer än det som syns, detta kan bland annat förklaras med att se saker ur olika perspektiv. De metoder som vi har valt att använda oss av i vår undersökning är observationer och intervjuer. Vi inledde vår undersökning med två dagars observation i en barngrupp på en förskola i Malmö kommun. Efter observationerna intervjuade vi de två förskollärarna som arbetar med barngruppen.

Background: To maintain or increase the trust in the market, companies can disclose more voluntary information in the annual reports. According to prior research the annual report is the primary source of information for small shareholders and investors. Thus, it is of interest to investigate why companies chose to report the voluntary information inquired by this group. Purpose: We investigate some company-specific factors to decide whether these determine the extent of voluntary information, particularly inquired by small shareholders and investors, in the annual reports of listed Swedish companies. We also aim to discuss underlying causes for our result.

Aims: The aim of this study is to describe how youth?s political exclusion is constructed as asocial problem. This is done through a study of a project which aim is to engage young peoplein politics.Method and theory: By interviewing the project?s manager and developer as well as eightparticipating young people different constructions of the problem of youth political exclusionhas been analyzed using the social constructionist perspective on social problems.Findings: The dominant perspective found in the empirical material includes framing youngpeople?s lack of political knowledge and self-confidence as the reason for their politicalexclusion. Even though the Youth Board (ungdomsstyrelsen) in Sweden officially views allyoung people as a resource, when youth politics are implemented through projects, this is notthe view that young people meet.

Title: The process of gentrification ?the transformation of declined neighbourhoods into attractive ones Gentrification = ?A social process of change where people with high socioeconomic status move into neighbourhoods which traditionally has been dominated by people from the lower classes or from ethnical minorities.? (Nationalencyklopedin 2010).In many cities around the world, disinvested neighbourhoods become the place to be, where everything happens. This usually occurs when different social groups, such as bohemians, homosexuals and artists, move into a declined and disinvested neighbourhood. After a while, people from the middleclass move in to the area due to its increased attractiveness, and start to renovate their properties. This usually leads to higher rents, which force some of the original inhabitants to leave the neighbourhood.

Vårt syfte med arbetet har varit att undersöka barns meningsskapande i olika miljöer och belysa hur miljöerna kan skapa möjligheter respektive begränsa barn i deras bildskapande. Vi använde oss av rundturer, observationer, fältnotiser och fotografering som metod. I vår analys utifrån det socialsemiotiska perspektivet har vi kommit fram till att pedagogen uttrycker att arbetslaget är medvetna om miljöernas betydelse, d.v.s. materialets placering, möblering, rummets egenskaper och tidsramar för barns meningsskapande. I analys och diskussion framgår det att olika rum skapar olika tecken för barnen och att barnen läser av outtalade regler som rummets design skapar.

The purpose of this study is to examine how adolescents can participate and have influence in the society, by making obstacles and opportunities that are considered central for their possibilities to power visible. National and international research indicates that adolescents opportunities to participation and influence are limited by the structures of society. A qualitative method was chosen, in which group interviews were made with 14 youths in development areas in Örebro. Theories are presented which constitute tools for analysis of the obtained results and has been chosen based on power- and participation perspective. An analytical model has been used to illuminate what kind of participation adolescents have in different parts of the society, where the concepts from the theoretical perspectives, power and participation are inserted.

Denna studie undersöker förhållandet mellan aggressivitet och kamratstatus. Studien tittar på tre aggressivitetsformer: fysisk, verbal och social, samt två kamratstatusvariabler: sociometrisk status och popularitet.Syftet med studien är att åskådliggöra huruvida det finns ett samband mellan popularitet och olika former av aggressivitet, och om det finns könsskillnader avseende detta samband.63 barn från tre klasser i årskurs 4, på två olika skolor, i två olika kommuner ingår i studien. Av dessa 63 barn är 25 flickor (39.7%) och 38 pojkar (60.3%). Studien ingår i ett större forskningsprojekt. Mått på aggressivitet och popularitet har samlats in genom lärarskattningar och kamratskattningar.Resultaten visar att det finns samband mellan kamratstatusvariablerna och social respektive verbal aggressivitet, dock inte för fysisk aggressivitet.

Our society is based on a heterosexual norm. This may lead to the fact that LGBT-persons have a poorer health status than the heterosexual population. The nurse education lacks information and courses that highlights sexual identity. This is defective since healthcare staff needs knowledge on the subject to be able to treat patients in a professional and respectful manner. The purpose of this study was to illustrate how heteronormativity influences the treatment of patients within a healthcare context.

Title: The municipal school of arts and music - "a school for everyone?" - A study of the accessibility of "Kulturskolor", focusing on the absence of fees. The aim of this thesis is to increase the understanding of a complex of problems concerning broadened recruitment of students and teachers in "Kulturskolor". I have chosen to focus on three schools of performing arts offering programs free of charge to ascertain how they work with broadened recruitment and to see what effects they have achieved by having no fees. I have examined these schools through a qualitative study where I have interviewed the principals and teachers from each school.
