Sjukskrivningarna har minskat de senaste åren, men långtidssjukskrivningarna har inte sjunkit lika mycket. Personer som har beviljats aktivitets och sjukersättning har istället ökat. Därför är det fortfarande viktigt för arbetsgivarna att lägga fokus på rehabilitering och att hjälpa sjukskrivna tillbaka till arbete. Arbetsgivarna har huvudansvaret för arbetstagarnas arbetsmiljö, arbetsanpassning och rehabilitering. I Luleå kommun har man haft ett projekt där man arbetat med aktiv sjukskrivning.

According to the Swedish Red Cross, there are over 40 million people fleeing from war and conflict around the world.

The purpose of this study was to highlight the type of actions that can facilitate people with Asperger syndrome to get and keep a job in the regular labour market. Four interviews were done with people who have been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome and who got a job in the regular labour market.

Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka Pantrarna genom att se på vad för typ av social rörelse Pantrarna är. Sociala faktorer som låg bakom bildandet, deras förebilder, metoderna de använde, hur de organiserade sig och vad de ville uppnå undersöktes. Bakgrunden till bildandet av en social rörelse som Pantrarna var komplex och flera teorier och begrepp fick därför användas för att försöka förklara kontext såväl som Pantrarna som social rörelse. Uppsatsen är gjord genom en kvalitativ metod bestående av intervjuer, innehållsanalys på filmen om dem, observation vid deras festival, netnografisk studie av rörelsen där Facebook,Youtube och deras hemsida studerats. De viktigaste resultatet som hittades var att Pantrarna är en social rörelse som bygger på ett konfliktperspektiv där de använder metoder som att storma politikers möten och genom demonstrationer.

In the previous curriculum for the preschool Lpfö 98, the educational responsibility was documented belonging to all the team members. On the 1st of July 2011 a new curriculum was introduced to the preschool, Lpfö 98/10, where it is documented that the educational responsibility now belongs to the preschool teachers. According to curriculum experts at the Swedish school board this educational responsibility is not new, just a clarification of the preschool teacher?s educational responsibility.This study is a qualitative study and the purpose was to interview the preschool teachers about their thoughts concerning their educational responsibility. The purpose was also to examine if their educational responsibility has affected their role in the team at the preschool and if they believe that this has any significance for their profession.My result of the study shows that the educational responsibility of the preschool teachers now has been clarified and that they should take a leading role in the team towards the goals that are set for the preschool.

Sammanfattning    Syftet med denna studie har varit att se hur ett antal församlingsdiakoner i en storstad ser på sin roll i det svenska välfärdssamhället och om de anser att det diakonala arbetet har påverkats av förändringar som pågått sedan 1990-talet. Avseende förändringar inom socialpolitiken men också förändringar i organisationen kring välfärdsaktörer i samhället. Metoden har varit kvalitativ med ett fenomenologiskt förhållningssätt. Studiens resultat visar på att diakonerna fyller en roll och funktion, som länk, kritiker, komplement och kanske även ibland ersättare. Vidare visar resultatet på att diakoners förhållningssätt i sitt arbete syftar till att tillvarata människors egna resurser.

The outdoor environment is the first thing you notices when you come to a pre-school and it also plays an important part in the development of children, their play and meeting their large motor needs. It is important that the outdoor playground is stimulating and inviting.My goal is to examine if the outdoor environment plays any role in the development of children and their interest in nature. What kind of thoughts do teachers and parents have about outdoor play, and is there a developmental goal for the children as well as what role do the teachers play in reaching these goals. In my work I want to show how an outdoor environment should be formed to help educationally as well as be safe and not least of all fun to be in..

This essay deals with the complexity that I perceive in the collaboration processes between preschool and parents. In the essay I present my interpretation of two self-perceived situations where my experience has been that the cooperation has not worked satisfactorily for either part. As a basis for my conclusions I use different theories and studies within the domain. My own experiences - both from ten years of working in preschool as well as from an eight-year experience of being a parent also comes into use. The purpose of my essay is to investigate how different horizons of understanding can come into collision, and how limitations in our own understanding of the perspectives of others can complicate collaboration between educators and parents.In the first story I discuss a situation where, in my professional role, I go into a conflict with a parent about how we have chosen to implement some changes.
