Anorexi är en sjukdom som framförallt drabbar flickor, på grund av att sjukdomen i uppskattningsvis 90 % av alla fall är av det kvinnliga könet kan denna anses vara en typisk flickproblematik. Sjukdomen kännetecknas av en kraftig viktnedgång, ångest, depression och tvångstankar. Behandling av sjukdomen är flerårig och i några fall är det en sjukdom som patienten aldrig blir helt frisk från. Ätstörningen kan i vissa fall gå så långt att den leder till döden. De som lider av sjukdomen har en felaktig bild av sig själva och inser ofta inte att de är allvarligt sjuka, det kan därför vara svårt att få dem att gå med på frivilliga former av vård.

The purpose of this essay was to examine municipal guidelines regarding the administration of the social assistance, collected from 18 municipalities in the Stockholm-area to achieve a greater understanding on how they were constructed in respect to the legislation and how the language mediated their contents. The legal aspects of the social assistance was studied through a jurisprudential method in which the legislative history, texts of laws and case laws were examined. The empirical aspect of this essay was studied through a hermeneutical method and analyzed through theories of social constructionism and legal pluralism. The results from the jurisprudential study were also used to understand how the municipal guidelines were constructed in relation to the law. The results of this essay corresponded well with previous studies in this field where considerable divergences in the approval of social assistance have been established.

AbstractThe political parties in Sweden are losing members. This is seen as a problem because the political parties are the base and the recruiting ground for members to decision-making bodies. Social movements are seen as a place where people with a modest background could express their opinions and also learn the political process. These movements have also lost members during the last decades and this could seriously affect the representation of lower social groups among the decision-makers. This essay emanates from Robert D.

This study aims to further Work-family conflict research for Social Workers by providing insight into what kind of impact the job role of social workers in Sweden has on their private lives and how they deal with it. The study operates from a qualitative approach and is based on three focus group-interviews and three semi-structured interviews with people working in different fields of social work. The empirical material has been analyzed through the Dramaturgical Perspective and Frame concept of Erving Goffman. The results of this study show that the job role impacts the psychological well-being of social workers, their family life and their social life to varying degrees, mainly due to organizational and client-based aspects, often resulting in role-conflicts and a lack of energy in their private lives. The primary strategies were found to be conversing with colleagues, spending time alone, embracing hobbies and having a clear understanding of individual responsibility. .

Psykisk ohälsa rapporteras vara en betydande orsak för unga kvinnor till förlorade år av friskt leverne, och komorbiditet mellan olika psykiatriska tillstånd beskrivs som vanligt förekommande. Trots det finns inte särskilt mycket vetenskaplig dokumentation över de unga kvinnornas psykiska hälsa på ett mer övergripande plan. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hälsotillståndet hos kvinnor i åldern 18-25 år med avseende på stress, utbrändhet, ångest, depression, sömnproblem och somatisering. Detta jämfördes med män 18-25 år och individer i åldern 26-79 år, med data från en omfattande populationsbaserad enkätundersökning. Resultaten från självskattningsformulären visade att unga kvinnor rapporterade högre nivåer av stress, utbrändhet, ångest och somatisering än unga män och övriga åldrar, högre nivåer av dålig sömnkvalitet än unga män samt av icke-restorativ sömn än övriga åldrar.
