Den här uppsatsen vill exemplifiera och beskriva hur interaktionen mellan människor och djur kan användas i socialt arbete. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med professionella som använder djur i vardagen. Allt från vårdhundar hos dementa på äldreboende till ridhästar för att hjälpa unga med självdestruktivt beteende, har vi funnit gemensamma effekter som djuret bidrar med i inter-aktionen. Genom att applicera teorier som social pedagogik, makt och symbolisk interaktionism försöker vi tydliggöra interaktionen och vad som sker utifrån olika teoretiska perspektiv. Ur resultatet kommer vi presentera djurets olika funktioner och roller som icebreaker, motivations verktyg, skapare av sammanhang och signifikant andre.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to adjusting corporate goals so that they are not only based on maximizing corporate profits, but include ethical standards on socially desirable behavior (Boatright, 2008). Even though many companies have integrated CSR into their business operations, there are still many issues that are difficult to tackle. Especially Multinational Corporations (MNCs) in the global business environment face many challenging situations due to the fact that they often have linkages to countries where the local government is either unwilling or unable to take care of its responsibilities. MNCs often find themselves with increased responsibilities when they start solving some of the issues that earlier have been the sole responsibility of states. A specific case situation discussed in this paper is related to ?conflict minerals?.

The purpose of this study is to describe the motivations of women to participate in politics and to examine whether women feel that they are held back by something in their political participation. The questions of this study are:How do women motivate their participation in different fields in politics?Are there any obstacles that are holding women back in their political participation? Interviews have been used as the method to gather the empirical data. When applying the theoretical framework on the empirical material the main conclusion is that women tend to participate more frequently in political activities that are less time consuming and more sporadic in comparison to more traditional forms of political participation. Women are also more inclined to participate in political activities on a lower level that makes up part of their everyday life, one example of this is women?s increasing participating in political consumerism. Keywords: Politiskt deltagande, kvinnor, motivation, politik, politisk jämlikhet, politiska sfärer.

This essay is an investigation of the level- and importance of interactivity on YouTube for the active user. YouTube is a great example of a user-friendly Internet environment which enables the users to take part in a virtual community where they can create the content and, with the various functions the site has to offer, interact with each other. With Uses and Gratifications as a tool for this research we look at the motivations and needs of the user and how they come into play on the most popular video distribution site in the world today. Qualitative interviews on Swedish respondents give us insight in how the YouTube-users with their own words perceive this relatively new highly interactive era. We focus on a narrow group of the most popular age-group of YouTube-users to go deeper - not to expand.

Försvarsmakten i Sverige genomgick år 2010 omfattande förändringar för att bli mer tidsenlig och punktinsats-orienterad. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur försvarsmaktens organisationsförändring har påverkat officerarnas upplevelse av det ledarskap de utövar och hur de motiverar sina soldater samt undersöka officerarnas upplevda arbetsbörda och stress. Informationen hämtades genom kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem verksamma officerare. Resultatet av en tematisk analys visade att officerarna är anhängare av ett ledarskap där medarbetare inkluderas och får möjlighet att tillgodose sina psykologiska behov, vilket kan härledas till moderna och tidsenliga motivations- och ledarskapsteorier. Dessutom framgick det att de flesta officerarna upplevde stress som kan relateras till omorganisationen samt försvarsmaktens starka kultur..

The material shows that the specialist pedagogues have positive attitudes towards working with digital instruments in this specific group of students..

Syftet med undersökningen är att undersöka skillnader och likheter i motivation mellan ideellt och kommersiellt ledarskap genom att beskriva och analysera hur ledare i sex organisationer arbetar med motivation.Fottler (1981) visar på de skillnader som finns mellan dessa organisationstyper. Vidare beskrivs Herzbergs (1964 tvåfaktorsteori som behandlar hur medarbetare kan motiveras genom antingen inre- eller yttre motivationsfaktorer, så kallade motivations- och hygienfaktorer.Den ideella sektorn saknar många av de incitamentsinstrument som den kommersiella besitter, exempelvis lön, vilket medför att de i större utsträckning motiverar med hjälp av Herzbergs (1964 motivationsfaktorer som litteraturen föreskriver. De kommersiella ledarna verkar dock medvetna om vikten av att motivera genom dessa. En annan faktor som också påverkar ledarskapet är organisationsstorleken..

I Sverige pa?gick under 2013 efterbehandlingsa?tga?rder pa? 1789 fo?rorenade omra?den. Det nationella miljo?ma?let ?giftfri miljo?? har av regeringen angetts som det styrande miljo?- ma?let vid efterbehandling. Efterbehandlingen syftar till att minska risken fo?r fo?rore- ningsspridning i mark fra?n avslutade verksamheter som industrier, va?gar med mera.

Syftet med vår undersökning är att förstå vilka motivationsfaktorer och hygienfaktorer som är av betydelse för utexaminerade sjöbefälsstudenter vid val av arbetsgivare samt arbetsplats. För att besvara vår frågeställning har vi valt att intervjua fyra elever som går sista terminen på sjöfartshögskolan i kalmar. Intervjuerna genomfördes som djupgående samtal, så kallade djupgående kvalitativa intervjuer, där vi försökte fånga intervjupersonens tankar och idéer. Våra undersökningsresultat har jämförts med Fredrick Herzbergs tvåfaktorteori och vi har kommit fram till att det finns likheter och olikheter. De mest betydande motivationsfaktorer var ansvar och utveckling.
