The debate surrounding the opinion polls of the political party Sverigedemokraterna, and later their results in the Swedish election has been evident. The purpose of the study is to investigate how norms of equal treatment in social work practice might be influenced by Sverigedemokraterna's understanding of culture, ethnicity, nationality and religion. The thesis is outlined through the works of Teun van Dijk and Ruth Wodak (2000) regarding racist discourse in politics, Giorel Curran (2004) explaining lesser established parties influence on the broader discourses and Anders Hellström and Tom Nilsson (2010) attempting to ideologically position Sverigedemokraterna. With the method for analyzing policy documents designed by Carol Bacchi (2009) the latest motions from Sverigedemokraterna has been analyzed. Bacchi?s theoretical framework, together with theory concerning the expression of modern racism of John Hodge (1999), Paul Gilroy (1999) and Bennedict Anderson (1996) amongst others has been used to create an understanding of the material.

This paper develops a theory for understanding negotiation situations involving states and indigenous peoples. Using relevant constructivist theory as a starting point, the paper develops a theory about understanding the relationship between power and culture implicit in the concept of the state. This relationship is examined in negotiations situations involving states and indigenous peoples. States are constituted by social structure and are representatives of the national culture. At the same time states are actors within the international system and a part of the culture of Westphalia.

The aim of this two year master thesis is to analyze how digital preservation is presented as a problem in the Swedish national strategy for the digitization and digital preservation of the Swedish cultural heritage. In order to study which assumptions about digital preservation exists within the strategy I apply the discourse oriented methodological tools presented by Carol Lee Bacchi, which focuses on discerning what problem or, rather, representation of a problem exists within a specific policy. This study is a post-structuralist discourse analysis. The main focus of the study is on what assumptions and prerequisites the dominating representation of the problem is based upon and how the representation has evolved. The main material of the study consists of public investigations conducted by the Swedish state, governmental propositions and replies as well as other public documents upon which Bacci's methodological tools are applied.Results show that digital preservation is primarily interpreted as a financial problem as the national strategy and its surrounding documents stress the need of cost-efficient solutions.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka grundskolans tobakspolicy i Hallands län, detta med utgångspunkt från två frågeställningar: om grundskolorna i Hallands län hade en dokumenterad skriven tobakspolicy samt om tobakspolicydokumenten var utformade utifrån statens folkhälsoinstituts rekommendationer kring vad som bör ingå i ett policydokument gällande tobak. Resultatet av studien visade att 33 av 49 tillfrågade skolor angav att de hade ett policydokument innehållande tobak. 3 av 49 skolor svarade att dem inte hade någon policy på området och 13 av 49 svarade inte på förfrågan. Utav de 33 skolor som utgav sig för att ha ett dokument gällande tobak, svarade 90 procent av skolorna att de utgick från ett samlat policydokument för kommunens grundskolor. Ett av dessa dokument hade i vaga ordalag nämnt tobak som drog i sin drogpolicy medan fokus i ett annat dokument endast låg på alkohol och narkotika.

Den 1 januari 2011 ersattes Lagen om yrkesverksamhet på hälso- och sjukvårdens område, LYHS, (SFS 1998:531) av Patientsäkerhetslagen (SFS 2010:659). I den äldre lagversionen var det endast hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal som fick prova ut och tillhandahålla kontaktlinser (SFS 1998:531 4 kap 2§ punkt 6). I den nya versionen, Patientsäkerhetslagen, är ordet tillhandahålla borttaget. Ändringen och därmed borttagningen av tillhandahållandet medför att det är fritt att tillhandahålla kontaktlinser.Studiens syfte var att ta reda på om Sveriges kontaktlinsoptiker har ändrat sitt sätt att rapportera kontaktlinsrelaterade skador efter avregleringen trätt i kraft samt att reda ut vilka skyldigheter optiker i Sverige har gällande kontaktlinser enligt lagen.En enkät omfattande 13 frågor skapades i form av en webbaserad enkät med hjälp av programmet Google Docs (http://docs.google.com). Den innefattade frågor om hur svenska optiker rapporterar/rapporterade kontaktlinsrelaterade skador innan och efter lagändringen 1 januari 2011 trädde i kraft.

The pupose of this study is to qualitatively study how teachers at a high school work with the schools demokratic mission under the management by objectives and what the policy document says and how the students can partcipate in different issues. My question fomulations are: What does it say in the governing documents about schools democratic mission and student influence? How do teachers concretely work to implement the values of democracy and student influence? How can the class councils used as part of the school's democratic mission? The theoretical frame of the study is about the school democracy mission and the possibilities and limits.  Futhermore a brief review of the fundamental values of the school are presented, followed by how the democratic process works.I used the qualitative analysis in order to find a lot of information about a small amount. Its strength is to convey a lot of information about a small number of observations and if the material is small in size.

The overall aim of this thesis is to examine how Easy-to-Read information, used by governmental agencies, facilitates and limits the field of possibilities for the intended recipient, based on the information.This, in anera of e-government.The theoretical framework is based on two Foucauldian concepts governmentality and discourse analysis. Representatives from five Swedish governmental agencies have been interviewed and the results have been analyzed based on the following questions: (1) How do the representatives construct the category Easy-to-Read? (2) How do these representatives construct the recipients of Easy-to-Read? In order to broaden the understanding of Easy-to-Read, an important national level policy document, containing a summary of strategies and goals for e-government has also been analyzed based on the following questions: (3) How is the e-government constructed in the text? (4) How is the citizen constructed and positioned in the text? The collected material is analyzed using a discourse analysis inspired by Foucault.With the results from the interviews and the analyzis of the policy document, Easy-to-Read information has been discussed and examined as a technology to meet the needs of people with reading difficulties, putin an era of e-government.The findings of the study include the following: (1) The e-government is constructed as a service agency and the citizens are positioned as clients. Furthermore, the citizens are expected to participate digitally and be digitally competent. (2)Some of the representatives does not know, with certainty, to whom the texts are directed or if they are used.

ABSTRACTCan Danish experience explain why Sverigedemokraterna had a higher support among voters in Skåne, than among other Swedish voters?Essay in Political Science, C-levelAuthor: Jenny WoodTutor: Gregg Bucken-KnappAutumn 2006/ Spring 2007The key question of this essay concerns the outcome of Sweden?s latest election. When all the votes where counted, the county of Skåne showed an exceptionally high support for the right wing nationalist party Sverigedemokraterna. Why then, did Sverigedemokraterna have a higher support among voters in Skåne (as part of the larger and transnational Öresund region), than among other Swedish voters? My hypothesis is the following: the regional interaction within Öresund has not only had positive effects concerning the values that the people of Skåne hold.

Sociala medier har blivit ett givet sätt att kommunicera genom och att vara en del av den sociala gemenskapen på Internet har sina fördelar. Men vad många inte tänker på är vad som händer med den information vi delar med oss av i olika sociala forum på Internet. Att det finns en kontroll över oss, subtil eller inte, är självklart. Vi övervakas dagligen och många gånger utan att vi ens vet om det.Google som sökmotor på Internet har under det senaste decenniet uppnått en enorm popularitet. Det vardagliga användandet av företagets söktjänst över hela världen har kommit att bli så stor att det har verbaliserats ? Idag söker vi inte information på Google, vi googlar.

The aim of this paper is to study how multiculturalism is expressed in the Swedish labour market policy. The method used for the investigation is a discourse analysis which study social and political processes in the society as created through language. The perspective of the discourse analysis is a social construction that considers that language is a social production created in a discursive way. It produces and reflects social process in the language.By using theories of national identity and multiculturalism we aim to investigate how multiculturalism is expressed in the labour market policy. With this method we aim to analyze the discourse of a political report made 2008 by the current government about integration strategies in Sweden.

In 2010 there will be a political resolution to ensure that the Swedish society is accessible to all citizens including people with disabilities. For this purpose a national action plan for disability policy "From patient to citizen" (Govt. Bill 1999/2000:79) has been set out with the aim of ensuring that the disability perspective will permeate every sector of society and that the approach and response to people with disabilities will be improved. The Swedish National Council for Cultural Affairs is responsible for implementing the disability policy in the cultural sector.Since public libraries in Sweden are a part of the public cultural sector, they will also be affected by the political resolution regarding accessibility. The concept underpinning library services for disabled people must be that of equality of access.

Försvarsmakten skall kunna bistå det svenska samhället vid svåra påfrestningar i fred. Vilket i förlängningen kan innebära attFörsvarsmaktens resurser skall kunna utnyttjas av en annan myndighet vid en insats, för att stödja det svenska samhället viden påfrestning. Polisen har till uppgift att förbereda, planera och säkerställa en god förmåga att med kort varsel kunna hanteraen svår påfrestning på samhället i fred. Ett effektivt samutnyttjande av resurser med andra myndigheter är viktigt, främst setttill den gemensamma samhällsnyttan som skapas. Men även till de ekonomiska fördelar som kan uppnås vid en samverkanmellan myndigheterna.Båda organisationerna har vid en första anblick ett antal likheter, exempelvis båda får använda det yttersta våldsmedlet för attlösa sina uppgifter, de är hierarkiska organisationer, personalen bär uniform och de är statliga instanser.Min avsikt är att beskriva samverkan mellan Mellersta Militärdistriktet och Polismyndigheten i Stockholms Län på ennationell regional nivå.
