It is a qualitative study that describes and analyzes how professionals deal with social issues of inclusiveness and ethics in the investigation of cases involving interventions for adolescents. The focus is on the strategies that staff in social services expressed in terms of obstacles and opportunities for working participatively and especially when it comes to dealing with ethical dilemmas that may arise.    The method used was qualitative research interviews. Five social workers from two different municipalities were interviewed and the material is analyzed on the basis of socio-cultural theory and organizational theory. Themes that emerged were participation, ethics, discretion and flexibility, collaboration, organization, skills and time.

Syftet med min uppgift var att ta reda på om de barn som inte klarade de nationella proven i svenska för årskurs 3 har haft svårigheter med språket tidigare i livet, samt hur det gick för dessa barn på språktesten, screening, som görs på BVC. Jag ville även ta reda på om det är möjligt att se på screeningen som görs på BVC om barnet kommer få svårt att klara de nationella proven i svenska i årskurs 3.Barnavårdscentraler (BVC) har en möjlighet att tidigt upptäcka och fånga upp barn som visar på problem med sin kommunikations-, språk- och/eller talutveckling. Tidigare forskning har visat att tidiga insatser med rätt hjälp för barn med språksvårigheter har gett resultat.Jag har därför plockat ut ett antal elever som inte klarat de nationella proven i svenska för årskurs 3. Därefter har jag tagit reda på om det funnits några svårigheter för dessa elever på språkscreeningen som de genomförde på BVC innan skoltiden. Studiegruppen bestod av 19 barn och jag hade enbart möjlighet att studera dem som en grupp och inte individ för sig.

I denna kvalitativa uppsats har syftet varit att få en förståelse av hur arbetslösa ungdomar kan uppleva sin situation. Datainsamlingen har skett genom tio intervjuer med arbetslösa ungdomar i åldrarna 20-25 år och som varit arbetslösa i minst tre månader. Två teoretiska perspektiv har använts vid analysen, Marie Jahodas deprivationsteori och Mikael Nordenmarks PEN-modell.Resultaten av intervjuerna har vi valt att presentera i form av porträtt där vi försökt lyfta fram olika citat av ungdomarnas upplevelser av arbetslöshet. Genom porträtten kan man utläsa att ungdomarna upplever den ekonomiska situationen som svår. Att inte ha råd med ett eget boende och därmed bli kvarboende hos föräldrar, är en av konsekvenserna av arbetslösheten.

Problem The culture sector is characterized by qualitative goals which raise questions such as how do you measure culture and what is ?good? culture? Both the goals and the measurements tend to result in subjective judgments, which according to the theory make result control inefficient. Yet, result control is frequently used in the culture sector; which leads up to our research question: What characterizes the problems of result control in the culture sector?Purpose The aim of this study is to make a survey of how the Gothenburg Opera works with result control and follow-up. By defining how it tackles the different problems, which could arise with result control in a non-profit organisation, we aim to map how the problems regarding result control are characterized in the Gothenburg Opera.

An auditors? job is to review the company's figures and, as an independent part, give an accurate picture of its financial situation. Auditors have to relate to ISA where ISA 570 can be found and which deals with the going concern. The standard addresses a couple of factors that may be indications that a company can have problems with their continued operation. The problem is that ISA does not evaluate the events, which is more significant than others in the assessment, but it is up to the auditor to consider.The purpose of this paper is to describe the factors, which the auditor believes is more important than others in assessing the going concern and explain why it is so.

Introduktion: Att ungdomar medvetet skadar sig själva är ett vanligt problem. Orsaken till detta beteende är lika varierande som motivet för varför man utför dessa handlingar. En del försöker få ut en inre smärta medan andra avser att ta sitt liv. Att hamna i ett självskadebeteende under ungdomsåren kan ge stora hälsoproblem i det vuxna livet och är också en riskfaktor för efterkommande självmordsförsök. Då detta problem är vanligast förekommande bland ungdomar är det också naturligt att skolan har ett viktigt uppdrag då det gäller det förebyggande arbetet mot självskadebeteende.Syfte: Finna stöd för skolsköterskans preventiva arbete då det gäller ungdomar med självskadebeteende.Metod: Systematisk litteraturstudie.

The aim of this study is to gain an understanding of former criminals' own experience of their entry into criminality and to identify and analyze the factors they use to explain their path into criminality. To study this area, a qualitative method has been applied with five semi-structured interviews of ex-criminals from an organization that works to help and support people who have previously been involved in crime by offering employment, education, and rehabilitation in order to be further integrated into society again. To analyze the respondents' stories about their way into criminality, the theory of social bond by Hirschi has been applied and contribute with insights in later criminal acts as well as the theory has been problematized to some extent. Today, there is a lot of research on different aspects that can explain the way into criminality in different aspects, on the other hand, research has largely been measured with a quantitative approach with statistics and self-reported data. This study therefore intends to apply a qualitative approach, where ex-criminals themselves describe their path into criminality.

Hela det mänskliga genomet var sekvenserat i april 2003 och sedan dess har utvecklingen av genetisk testning avancerat snabbt. Sjuksköterskor kan komma att ha en central roll gällande att informera personer kring den genetiska testningen, rådgiva personer som genomgår genetisk testning och hjälpa dem att tolka resultaten. Genom att beskriva personers känslor kring att genomföra genetisk testning kan sjuksköterskor få hjälp till en ökad förståelse. Syftet var därför att beskriva personers känslor kring att genomföra en genetisk testning för genetiskt betingade sjukdomar med en möjlig dödlig utgång. För att få en överblick av det aktuella forskningsläget genomfördes en systematisk sökordsbaserad litteraturöversikt.

Using a symbolic interactionistic analytical approach, this essay aims to study the socialisation of young women?s sexuality in treatment institutions for young women. Through qualitative interviews with staff members at said institutions, concerning their views on young female sexuality, and how they discuss sexuality with the young women in the institutions, my aim was to identify the socialisation of young women?s sexuality. I have also investigated how the staff experiences their own sex as an important factor in conversations about sexuality with young women, as well as the possible effect sexually mixed or sexually segregated institutions exert upon conversations about sexuality.
