The purpose of this essay is to examine how same-sex couples experience the second-parent adoption process. To assist us, we have used our questions: how do the couples describe their experiences of the adoption process? Which are the couples? stories about the experience of contact with the involved professionals? What are the opportunities and barriers for same-sex couples to start a family? How do the couples describe their experience of reactions from the community and society, and how do they think the future will look like for same-sex couples? This study has been achieved through a qualitative approach. The empirical data is based on seven semi-structured interviews with same-sex couples or pair members that want to or have had a second-parent adoption. The theory we have used for analyzing the results is phenomenology with focus on queer theory, heteronormativity, and power.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur personal i förskolan upplever och hanterar situationer då de misstänker att ett barn far illa. Därtill vill vi utreda hur väl förankrad anmälningsplikten är hos personal i förskolan, och vilken förståelse de har för de riktlinjer de har att följa. Orsaken till att vi valde detta ämne var för att vi själva ville få större kunskap kring hur dessa situationer bör hanteras.Uppsatsen grundades på en kvalitativ metod. Insamling av data gjordes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med personal i tre förskolor där en rektor, en förskollärare samt en barnskötare deltog.Resultatet av vår studie visade att kännedomen om de riktlinjer som påverkar personalens handlande i förskolan är relativt dåligt förankrade i verksamheten. Vi fann inga aktuella handlingsplaner i förskolorna.

Uppsatsen beskriver upplevelseproduktion med fokus på skapandet av meningsfulla arbetsupplevelser och ledarskap. Denna uppsats har skrivits under vår utbildning på Institutionen för Konst, kommunikation och lärande vid Luleå tekniska universitet. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka om upplevelsemodellen Total Experience Management och ett exempel på ledarskap från verkligheten kan kombineras för att skapa en teori för upplevelsebaserat ledarskap.Genom ett induktivt arbetssätt och med Grundad Teori som forskningsmetod har vi tagit fram ett exempel från verkligheten av ledarskap. Vi har genomfört kvalitativa intervjuer med företaget Liveside Safety för att skapa detta exempel. Med hjälp av exemplet har vi modifierat modellen Total Experience Management och anpassat denna för Upplevelsebaserat Ledarskap.

Sammanfattning ? "Arbetsmotivation: En jämförande studie av arbetsmotivationsfaktorer och preferenser för motivationsstrategier mellan inhyrd och tillsvidareanställd personal"Datum: 2014-06-11Nivå: Kandidatuppsats i företagsekonomi, 15 ECTS,Institution: Akademin för Ekonomi, Samhälle och Teknik EST, Mälardalens HögskolaFörfattare: Gabriel Cakisi Abizer Kapasi Erik Wallén 880804 891201 870615Titel: Arbetsmotivation: En jämförande studie av arbetsmotivationsfaktorer och preferenser för motivationsstrategier mellan inhyrd personal och tillsvidareanställda.Handledare: Kerstin NilssonNyckelord: Arbetsmotivation, tillfälligt anställda, inhyrd personal, motivationsstrategierForskningsfrågor: 1: Finns det skillnader mellan inhyrd personal och tillsvidareanställda i deras värdering av arbetsmotivationsfaktorer och företagets arbetsmotivationsstrategier? Om ja, hur skiljer de sig åt?2: Hur skulle företagets arbetsmotivationsstrategier kunna anpassas efter eventuella likheter eller skillnader?Syfte: Syftet med studien var att jämföra och identifiera skillnader i vad inhyrd och tillsvidareanställd personal upplever som arbetsmotivation inom tre kontors- & administrationsavdelningar samt en IT-avdelning på ett stort svenskt teknikföretag, samt att undersöka företagets motivationsstrategier och hur strategierna skulle kunna anpassas efter eventuella skillnader.Metod: Studien använde sig av en kvantitativ enkät och en kvalitativ intervju. Enkätden delades in i två delar där del A undersökte motivationsfaktorer och del B undersökte motivationsstrategier. Den kvalitativa intervjun var semistrukturerad och undersökte vilka motivationsstrategier företaget använde som sedan låg till grund för enkätdel B.Slutsats: Resultatet visade på att inhyrd och tillsvidareanställd personal skiljer sig i sin värdering av motivationsstrategier och motivationsfaktorer. För arbetsmotivationsfaktorer så var skillnaderna: 1) tillsvidareanställda värderar personlig utveckling högre, 2) inhyrda värderar att arbetsinsatsen leder till goda resultat högre, och 3) tillsvidareanställda värderar en trygg anställning högre.

This dissertation is about children in a district in Malmö, Sweden that is called Rosengård. This district is known for its high amount of immigrants and foreigners and all the children interviewed for the study are foreigners.We wanted to bring out their story, how they experience the cultures they are in touch with, the Swedish culture that they live in and their foreign culture that they experience at home with their parents. How do these children socialize into the Swedish culture while living in a district that is hardly exposed to it? We have been working from a different perspective, this due to the fact that we have both grown up in Rosengård and are still currently living here. Therefore our perspective is more from the inside, we can relate to the children?s stories and we can tell about it in a way that seems more natural.These children are not more different than other children, they have the same interests and hobbies as is considered to be ?fashionable? in youth culture today.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine whether addicted in society maintain their personal dignity. Many studies about this issue have beenfocused on how hard it is to be an addicted, but few have focused on how an addicted handle this situation. Our preconception before this study was that addicts are a stigmatized group not treated with dignity. With this as starting point, our aim has been to let the addicted with their own words describe how they handle their situation and witch strategies they use to uphold their dignity.Method: A qualitative approach is used; we have condicted five semi structured in- depth interviews. The information we have obtained through interviews, we have in the analysis weighed against the theories we believe are relevant to our preconception.We have then categorized the collected information after those themes we found central in the interviews and which we have found can be related to the main questions of this study.Result: The results show many strategies about how people with drug- and alcohol abuse handle their situation.

In this essay, I have examined what has been studied and presented in the theory of ICT in schools. I have based my theory on Arne Trageton?s book Att skriva sig till läsning ? IKT i förskoleklass och skola (2005) and theories on children?s reading and writing development.The purpose of this study is to determine how teachers and children experience teaching with Trageton?s ICT-based model Att skriva sig till läsning and whether the model is beneficial for children's first reading and writing.Through qualitative interviews with two pedagogues from the same school and some children from first grade, I have received answers to my two questions:How do pedagogues and children experience ICT-based teaching in the context of children's first reading and writing?How do pedagogues experience the reading and writing development in first- and second-language students when using ICT-based teaching?The results showed that both pedagogues and children were positive about the model in which the computer was used as a writing tool in learning to read and write. The teachers felt that the model was suitable for all children according to their conditions.The children saw the writing as very enjoyable. For the ICT-based teaching to work properly, the technology has great significance.
