Our study aims to investigate whether resilient children share common factors that could explain them not following the expected course of development for said group. The study also sets out to explore which strategies resilient children implement in order to cope with their situation.The study is based on the following questions:How do resilient children describe their experiences from growing up with parents with substance abuse problems? What risk and protective factors do they mention in their biographies?We use the system theory and Goffman's dramaturgic perspective as analytical tools.  The system theory could help us see the family as a system, while Goffman's theory might help us understand how resilient children find different strategies, and why they implement these strategies, to hide their family problems.The results show that the most important factors with a positive effect on resilient children were: to have somebody else important in their lives, to have goals in life, to have a safe haven, to think independently and to develop a high level of independence early in life..

Den pågående övergången till mer internationella redovisningsregler och rekommendationer diskuteras just nu flitigt i Sverige. Samtidigt som den internationella harmoniseringen ska stärkas och jämförbarheten öka, finns oro för att en mängd nya valmöjligheter ger ett allt för stort spelrum för uppskattningar och bedömningar av företagsledningen. Via EU:s fjärde bolagsdirektiv har begreppet ?rättvisande bild? kommit in i den svenska årsredovisningslagen och i Sverige har Redovisningsrådet förbundit sig att verka för att IASB:s standarder kommer till uttryck i de svenska rekommendationerna. Exempel på detta är RR17, om nedskrivningar, som införts i Sverige från och med år 2002.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine if the school's democracy project is successful. The objective is examined in relation to two specific questions. The first question is whether students, after completing their studies in civics A, understand the relationship between the concepts of human rights and democracy. The second is if the students understood the concepts of practical significance and impact on society and the individual. Variation theory comes from the phenomenographic theories and is central to this work.

Ett ökat miljömedvetande från samhället har gjort att förutsättningarna för näringslivet har förändrats och miljöfrågorna har blivit allt viktigare. Vid bedömning av företagen väger intressenterna alltmer in informationen som ges om miljön. Intresset för miljöfrågor har bidragit till att företagens redovisning av miljöinformation blivit betydelsefull. Omfattningen av en miljöredovisning varierar och med anledning av denna variation var syftet med vår undersökning att utvärdera omfattning, innehåll och utveckling av miljöredovisning. Denna utvärdering omfattar svenska börsbolag noterade på A-listan 2004-11-18 och har sin utgångspunkt i Fredrik Ljungdahls doktorsavhandling (1999).De teorier vi använde var agentteorin, Positive accounting theory, intressent- och legitimitetsteorin.

The purpose with this review is to investigate evidence-based practice (EBP), and which arguments are used to justify EBP. The year of 2006 Bergmark and Lundström published an article regarding the problems concerning EBP. They are discussing that several different definitions of EBP are existing, which they mean can lead to difficulties using the EBP-methods in real life. In this study six articles, from the years 2007-2011, have been analyzed using Mertons structure-functional theory and Lipskys theory of street-level bureaucracy. Different definitions of EBP are discussed in the articles and there seem to be a need to clarify the concept.

Vårt syfte med uppsatsen var att ta reda på om KASAM-begreppet, trots att det har några år på nacken, fortfarande ses som betydelsefullt. Vi utgick från personalens perspektiv gällande KASAM's betydelse för barn 0-12 år, placerade på institution eller med någon form av insats från öppenvården.
