Abstrakt:Syftet med föreliggande akademiska studie är att kartlägga vad självskadebeteende innebär, varför det utförs och vilken behandling det finns att få. Resultatet som togs fram genom kvalitativa, semistrukturerade djupintervjuer, både med personer som själva har erfarenhet av självskadebeteende (de primära informanterna) och yrkeskvinnor (de sekundära informanterna) som kommer i kontakt med det. Resultatet går ej att generalisera då antalet informanter inte kan representera hela populationen. Goffman förklarar i boken ?Jaget och maskerna? på ett bra sätt individernas agerande och handlingar i samhället och Mead beskriver med sin teori ?The self? de primära informanternas personlighet.

Emissions of radionuclides to the atmosphere can lead to wet deposition on plants in the event of rainfall. An increased level of radioactivity in the plants may occur due to interception and retention of the radionuclides. If the content of the plants is above the threshold limit value, entire yields may have to be destroyed. In order to prevent contamination or decrease the content countermeasures can be taken. The impact of the biomass, leaf area index (LAI) and growth stage of the plant on the interception and retention is important to know in order to decide which countermeasures to use. Weather may also be an important factor. In this work the interception and retention of 134Cs and 85Sr by spring wheat, ley and spring oil-seed rape was studied.

This essay examines through a sociological perspective how physical objects in Ted Kooser?s poetry collection "Delights & Shadows" can be used to depict the characters? social environment. This is done by examining the physical objects found in 25 poems, the relationships between subjects and objects, and how this relationship can describe the social environment. The essay also examines how the relationship between subjects, objects, and the presence of the social environment within the text affects the reader experience. The physical objects are examined with Bill Brown?s Thing Theory as "things" that stop working for humans, when their flow within the circuits of production and distribution, consumption and exhibition is arrested, however momentarily.

From a social perspective, I have been working on how to change current consumption patterns through a change in people's behavior and attitude towards their possessions. The concept is based on how we can value, care for, and preserve our belongings by using theories in the empathic design field. I have created a structure that allows people to become an active part of a creative process and create their own products. Through this commitment, an emotional relationship is built between the user and the product, and the product tends to gain a longer life. Based on a method to manufacture your own yarn by reusing old clothes, I want to provide the basic tools for an easy and playful way to build the knowledge needed to produce something useful..

Studiens syfte var att undersöka de uppfattningar om missbruk som råder inom FoU nordvästs kommunala öppenvårdsmottagningar samt att göra en kartläggning av dessa insatser. Våra huvudfrågeställningar var: (1) Hur definierar öppenvårdsmottagningarna inom FoU nordväst centrala begrepp inom missbruksområdet? (2) Vilka insatser erbjuder den öppna missbrukarvården inom FoU nordväst och vad innebär vissa av dessa? (3) Vilka teorier och metoder om missbruk baserar öppenvårdsmottagningarna inom FoU nordväst sitt arbete på? För att kunna besvara våra frågeställningar gjordes initialt en förstudie i form av en postenkät som mottagningarna fick besvara. Utifrån dessa svar utformades våra intervjufrågor och den fiktiva klienten vinjetten Janne). Undersökningsmetoderna har varit kvalitativa halvstrukturerade intervjuer med personal på de åtta mottagningarna samt vinjettmetoden.Intervjuerna strukturerades i följande fyra teman: (1) Vinjetten Janne, (2) Resursutbud och definitioner av vissa insatser, (3) Tankar om missbruk samt (4) Övriga centrala begrepp.

Den h?r uppsatsen fokuserar p? de sociala praktiker och processer som g?r kvinnor som pekas ut som "missbrukare" till de andra och har som ?vergripande syfte att bidra med kunskap om andrefiering.

Genom att unders?ka hur kvinnor som anses vara i behov av tv?ngsv?rd enligt LVM beskrivs och hur deras situationer representeras diskursivt blir det m?jligt att kritiskt unders?ka vilka sociala konsekvenser andrefieringen kan f?.

The bank market for farmers in Sweden is dominated by Swedbank and Landshypotek. One of the most aggressive challengers is Länsförsäkringar Bank, which in 2009 had seven per cent of the Swedish bank market for farmers, but 57 per cent of all new lending. This paper deals with the problem of new banks to break into the bank market where farmers are slow in terms of change in their attitudes and loyal to their banks. The study has been carried out in cooperation with Länsförsäkringar Gävleborg which is a new actor in the banking market and thus eager to take part in the outcome of the study. This essay thus seeks to examine the attitudes farmers have against bank switching and the factors that influence their choice of bank.
