Denna studie handlar om fritidsvanor och huvudsysselsättningar hos två olika grupper i samhället, nämligen ungdomar i stadsdelen Rosengård och ungdomar i stadsdelen Limhamn vilka båda ligger i Malmö. Det finns klara skillnader när man jämför dessa två grupper och därför ville vi titta närmare på detta och analysera utifrån informanternas berättelser faktorer som påverkar valet av fritidsvanor och valet av huvudsysselsättning av utbildning och jobb samt varför de ser olika ut. Vi har utfört intervjuer i båda stadsdelarna och samtalat med ungdomar samt gjort deltagande observation för att se hur dessa ungdomar uppför sig i gruppen de tillhör.Ungdomar på båda sidor eller i båda stadsdelar anser att fritid är en viktig faktor i deras liv och att olika fritidsaktiviteter har olika status. Fritidsaktiviteter på Rosengård har inte samma status bland ungdomar i Limhamn och fritidsaktiviteter från Limhamn har inte samma status bland ungdomar i Rosengård. Valet av utbildning och jobb är inte heller lika när man jämför de olika stadsdelarna.

The aim of this study was to examine bilingual childrenslexical organization and to investigate weather bilingual children hadundergone the syntagmatic-paradigmatic shift in grade four. Thirtychildren from multi-ethnic areas were tested with Kent-Rosanoff wordassociation test in both Swedish and Arabic. The results showed thatmore than 40% of the children had undergone the shift in bothlanguages, 20 % had undergone the shift in only one of theirlanguages and almost 40% had not made the shift in any language. Acomparison with results from monolingual Swedish children in gradethree in a previous thesis, showed that the bilingual children in thisstudy did not reach the corresponding level of lexical organization.The study points to the necessity of including tests regarding lexicalorganization when assessing both mono- and bilingual children withsuspected language impairment. The study also underscores theimportance of supporting mother tongue development in bilingualchildren by for instance adequate mother tongue education.

Weber and Linder (2005) have enlightened that the focus of the current debate on the budget?s to be or not be, has been on trying to find a general tool, which fits best in all situations. They argue that the budget may be more appropriate for organizations in certain circumstances, than for others. They claim that there is a gap in research concerning the situations in which the budget may be appropriate, or when Beyond budgeting is preferred. It is this gap we are trying to fill with our thesis.The purpose of the thesis is to explain which situational factors that affect the organization's use of budgets for the functions the budget can fulfill.

Internal communication exists in all organizations and is ongoing. It is of great importanceto communicate effectively when deficiencies can have serious consequences.

All because of the lack of information.Employees in an organization take many decisions that affect the entire organization.

Bryggeriet är en ideell förening som ingår i det civila samhället i och med att man tar ett tydligt socialt ansvar för framför allt ungdomar och deras fritidssysselsättning i Malmö. Föreningen är mitt uppe i en organisationsförändring till följd av en längtan efter stabilitet i organisationen men även en önskan om att hitta nya finansieringsalternativ till de bidrag man får från kommunen. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att belysa vad som händer med en organisation i det civila samhället när inledningsfasen är slut och organisationen utvecklas och går vidare till att etablera sig på marknaden. Undersökningen är utformad som en fallstudie vilket bland annat betyder att det är en specifik enhet som är studerad. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten i min undersökning har varit DiMaggios och Powells teori om den institutionella isomorfin som menar på att organisationer inom samma fält blir mer lika varandra över tiden.

Undersökningen redogör för vilka problem skolan kan stötta på när pengar är viktigare än barnens rättigheter..

AbstractTitle: Equalis quality assures the communication. A qualitative study of superiors and co-workers view on the internal communication.Number of pages: 39 (42 including enclosures)Author: Ia AppelbergTutor: Else NygrenCourse: Media and Communication Studies CPeriod: Autumn term 2010University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information Science, Uppsala UniversityPurpose: Superiors and co-workers view on the internal communication is studied with the purpose to identify whether their opinions correspond with one another, and what differences and similarities there might be.Method: This study is based on qualitative interviews with superiors and co-workers, and complements with the use of observations.Main results: The results indicate that superiors and co-workers agree on several aspects of the communication, such as the fact that the organizational communication is disorderly and lack clear rules and guidelines. Superiors believe that the organization has a corresponding view on the internal communication, while co-workers are convinced this is not the case. This despite the fact that the results in the end show that both groups overall have very similar opinions on several of the elements in question. Another mutual opinion is that both groups wish to receive more information about current events and such.

Social kompetens är en viktig kompetens för att den handlar om socialt samspel som är oerhört centralt i vårt samhälle. Rekryterares jobb handlar om att ständigt bedöma arbetssökandes personlighet och kompetenser varav social kompetens är en av dessa. Hur rekryterare beter sig för att avgöra huruvida en person är socialt kompetent är oftast upp till rekryteraren.Syftet har varit att undersöka hur rekryterare definierar begreppet, dess betydelse i relation till andra urvalskriterier och arbetslivet och hur de sedan använder deras uppfattning om begreppet när de bedömer om en person är socialt kompetent. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka och beskriva rekryterarnas perspektiv för att fokusera på deras förståelse av begreppet och dess betydelse och som fokus för bedömningen är intervjusituationen.Detta är en kvalitativ fallstudie där empirin har insamlats genom intervjuer. Jag har intervjuat elva rekryterare på olika företag främst bemanningsföretag.

Stora Enso Skog AB´s districts have been assigned to produce action plans for the company´s environmental objective of 90 % approved everyday nature consideration in final felling and any targets included within this objective. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the districts work with these action plans and how this could be improved.

Medarbetarsamtal i grupp är ett relativt nytt och outforskat ämne. Den här uppsatsen undersöker fenomenet medarbetarsamtal i grupp, och bygger på en fallstudie gjord på Pilkington i Halmstad. Syftet var att med utgångspunkt i medarbetarnas upplevelser analysera vilka förutsättningar för individens utveckling som skapas i medarbetarsamtal i grupp. För att uppnå syftet genomfördes en kvalitativ undersökning med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex medarbetare som alla hade haft medarbetarsamtal i grupp.Resultaten pekar mot att de förutsättningar som ges för individens utveckling i medarbetarsamtal i grupp på Pilkington i många avseenden inte lever upp till förväntningarna. Det visade sig att feedback, reflektion, målsättning, attityder och uppriktighet på olika sätt bildar förutsättningar för individens utveckling i medarbetarsamtal i grupp.
