Singelhushållen dominerar bostadsutbudet. Men varför måste vi bo ensamma bara för att vi inte har en partner? Både unga och äldre är idag positivit inställda till ett kollektivt boende. Stora lägenheter finns att tillgå på marknaden, problemet är att de inte är utformade för ett kollektivt boende utan snarare för en kärnfamilj. Jag har försökt utforma lägenheter som riktar sig till människor som vill bo tillsammans men som nödvändigtvis inte är släkt.

EU och Ryssland har förhandlat för att kunna enas om ett nytt partner- och samarbetsavtal (PSA) sedan år 2008. Trots tiden som löpt sedan dess har de hittills inte lyckats enas om ett nytt avtal. Parternas förra PSA löpte ut år 2007 men förnyas årligen till dess att en av parterna säger upp avtalet eller tills parterna sluter ett nytt avtal. EU och Ryssland vill sluta ett nytt PSA för att få ett rättsligt ramverk som är bättre anpassat till den betydande ökning av handel, samarbete och andra utbyten som har etablerats mellan parterna sedan det förra avtalet slöts 1994. En omständighet som kan ha försvårat avtalsförhandlingarna är Rysslands potentiella kränkningar av internationell humanitär rätt (IHR) under kriget i Georgien år 2008.Mellan den 7 och 15 augusti 2008 krigade Ryssland i Georgien.

Personalarbetet har sedan det introducerades i organisationer präglats av ett skiftande fokus och en otydlig ansvarsfördelning. Detta har resulterat i att personalchefers arbetsroll saknar tydliga gränser och ofta slits mellan att vara operativ och strategisk. Tidigare forskning visar att organisationsstrukturen skapar olika hinder och möjligheter för arbetsrollen och dess inflytande i organisationen. Samtidigt saknar personalchefer ofta den makt och prestige som traditionellt sätt finns i en chefsroll, vilket ytterligare bidrar till att skapa en komplexitet i arbetsrollen. Syftet med studien är att utifrån intervjuer med fem decentraliserat organiserade personalchefer skapa kunskap om hur personalchefer upplever sin arbetsroll och sitt inflytande i organisationen.

Ett lågtröskelboende vänder sig till individer med missbruks- och boendeproblematik där intentionen är att erbjuda individen stöd i dennes alkoholproblematik samt en trygghet i boendet utan att ställa krav på nykterhet. Studiens syfte var att undersöka fenomenet: upplevelsen av att bo på ett lågtröskelboende utifrån ett brukarperspektiv, samt vad flytten till lågtröskelboendet har inneburit för de boendes livskvalitet. I analysen användes ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv med livsvärldsteorin som utgångspunkt. Resultatet visar studiens fenomen som existentiell samhörighet i alkoholmissbruk.
