Our purpose was to investigate if Swedish University educated social workers, living as active Christians, in any way might be influenced by Christian values. The main questions; Can Christian values be a factor in the choice of career to become a social worker? How does a personal belief in Christ impact the relationship towards the clients? Is Christian belief a support in the work? In this paper we used a qualitative method and interviewed eight persons, with a background as above, four of them employed by a church organisation and the other four working in the social sector. The result we present is that the eight Christian social workers Christian belief influenced their work very individually. How much this supported them was a choice about how official and open they wanted Christian values to be.

This paper describes how files and information can be shared in organisations and workplaces. We studied and compared the traditional file sharing in Microsoft Active Directory and the Social file sharing that comes with Microsoft SharePoint Sites. We used qualitative studies based on interviews with system administrators, management and by our own observations to acquire the necessary data. Using independent research, we were able to analyze the data and show the general difference between the traditional and the social file sharing systems. Social file sharing enables the user to easily store and share files in a flexible online environment.

    The purpose of this essay is to examine trust, or lack of trust, in the social services. Previous research considering this topic is limited, which, in our point of view, implies the need of further studies. A quantative method was used, consisting of an online questionnaire containing statements about the social services. The statements were designed using a five level Likert-scale which required the respondent to rate their level of agreement. The questionnaire was published on five webcommunities directed to parents.

The purpose of this paper was to examine social workers' experiences of integration of unaccompanied children. We aimed to study which factors in the individual and the community social workers experience affect the integration and how they, based on their understanding, work to promote integration. The essay has a phenomenological approach and focuses on the social workers' own experiences of the phenomenon. The empirical data was obtained from qualitative interviews conducted with five social workers, all administrators in cases involving unaccompanied children. The result shows that the social workers feel that the desire to integrate is the most important presumption that must be present in the unaccompanied children.

We have chosen to focus on the social aspect but we have also been taking part of the medical treatment - the methadone. In order to get a bigger picture of our problem area we also studied how Sweden's narcotic politic is constructed and how a narcotic life could look like before the entrance in the program.

This thesis is a study of social movements and their possibilities to effect politics by infuencing values in society through framing. I've looked upon social movements from a functionalistic-structuralistic perspective, as if they were carriers of values from people that otherwise won't be represented in the political life. The values that the social movements are struggling for can affect both the opinion and the decision-makers since the social movements in an active way are trying ti influence the society. The thesis examines the political opportunities that social movements hav to mobilise and grow. I have looked at different factors that either improve or make the political opportunities worse.

The purpose of this paper was to discuss stigma and stigmatisation in relation to social policy and social work. By discussing welfare systems in social policy I wanted to see if there could be any connection between social policy and stigma. I used case studies of hearing impaired adults to give examples of how the stigma processes work. By connecting the stigma and the social policy theories with the case studies I wanted to see how the social policy could affect the stigma processes or vice versa.In the paper the concept of stigma has been described and discussed, foremost using the theories of Erving Goffman. I have also discussed the welfare system and the connection between residual systems and stigma.

Jag beskriver i detta arbete en klassrumsstudie dÀr fyra seende och en synskadad elev samverkar kring ett taktilt bildarbete. Undersökningen har fokus pÄ den sociala interaktionen mellan ungdomarna. Den metod som anvÀnts har frÀmst varit etnografinspirerad, dÀr jag dokumenterat med hjÀlp av filmkamera tre olika lektionstillfÀllen, nÀr eleverna gjorde en taktil bild av en kÀnd konstbild. Bearbetningen har skett via en induktiv analys dÀr mÄlet har varit att utgÄ frÄn mitt filmade material för att hitta vilka former av interaktioner som uppstÄtt under just det ögonblick kameran har fÄngat handlingarna mellan eleverna.Syftet har varit att fÄ en insikt i hur kunskaper om hur synskadade ska fÄ ökade tillgÄngar till bilden och bildÀmnet pÄ grundskolan. Den frÄgestÀllning som varit aktuell har fokuserat pÄ hur elever med synskada kan integreras i klassrumsundervisning i Àmnet Bild och vilken form av interaktion som uppstÄtt mellan eleverna.Eftersom Àven den pedagogiska rollen inbegripits beskrivs ocksÄ skolverkets riktlinjer för att hjÀlpa elever med synskada eller andra funktionella handikapp att nÄ mÄlen i kurs -och lÀroplaner.

Specialarbete, SSA136, 15 hpÄmne: Svenska som andrasprĂ„kTermin: VT 2014Handledare: Ann-Christine Randahl.

Detta examensarbete unders?ker morgonfritidsverksamhetens roll och uppfattningen om det svenska fritidshemmet, med s?rskilt fokus p? diskursen om fritid som ??verbliven tid.? Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med utbildade fritidsl?rare utforskar studien hur ?morgonfritids? organiseras och genomf?rs, vilka faktorer som bidrar till en framg?ngsrik verksamhet, samt hur denna tid kan omdefinieras som en pedagogisk m?jlighet snarare ?n en f?rvaringstid. Studien bygger p? Haglunds (2009) analys av fritidshemmets diskurser, d?r fritid som "?verbliven tid" ofta f?rlorar sin pedagogiska potential, samt p? Vygotskijs sociokulturella teori om l?rande (S?lj?, 2020). Vidare lyfts Jonssons (2021) och P?lsd?ttirs (2012) forskning fram f?r att belysa vikten av dialog och samarbete mellan personal och elever samt hur otydliga pedagogiska visioner kan p?verka personalens yrkesidentitet. Hippinen Ahlgrens (2021) insikter om balansen mellan f?rplanerade och spontana strategier anv?nds ocks? f?r att analysera elevens delaktighet.
