Ett problematiskt förhållande till mat kan grunda sig i en negativ kroppsuppfattning vilket isin tur kan bero på de normer och ideal som individen förväntas leva upp till för att passa in.Kroppsideal speglar inte bara hur kroppen bör se ut enligt normen, utan medföljs också avflertalet värderingar och fördomar om innehavaren.

Skillnaderna mellan könen belyses utifrån ett genusperspektiv. Totalt deltog222 ungdomar i studien som utfördes genom en enkät.Resultatet visade att det var vanligare att reglera sitt ätande eller att ha negativa känslorkopplat till ätande om kroppsuppfattningen var negativ. Det framkom även att det var någotvanligare att tjejer hade negativa känslor kopplat till ätande.

My thesis is an attempt to clarify the purpose and workings of art in relation to the artist, his/her fellows and society. Can art be considered as a uniting force? If so, where does its unifying quality lie? How does art connect with the individual, the community and society? My interpretation of the political climate regarding the arts has resulted in an exploration of the question: What role does art have in society today?The artistic ego as an altruism ? within the title of this thesis lies an absolute paradox ? a paradox that through this paper is tested, reviewed and demonstrated as a way of describing art and its workings. The thesis is problematized and studied from several angles: Through the inner artistic process, both reflective and empirical, and through philosophical studies..

Bakgrund: Dagkirurgiska operationer har ökat de senaste tjugo åren. Fler och sjukare patienter blir opererade dagkirurgiskt och förväntas sköta och ta ansvar för sin egenvård i hemmet. Det ställer krav på sjukvården att patienten får undervisning och information i tillräckligt utsträckning för att klara detta. Syfte: Att beskriva dagkirurgiska patienters erfarenheter av postoperativ information om egenvård. Metod: En kvalitativ litteraturöversikt baserad på 11 vetenskapliga originalartiklar.

I socialtjänstlagen (SoL) benämns de övergripande målen med socialtjänstens verksamhet och de grundläggande värderingarna som lyfter fram den enskildes rätt till självbestämmande samt att integriteten skall framhållas i sådan stor utsträckning som möjligt. Studien syftar till att få en ökad förståelse för hur individer som haft någon form av insats av socialtjänsten anser sig bemötta, samt i vilken utsträckning socialtjänsten tillämpar brukarperspektivet i dess insatser. Urvalet av respondenter till denna kvalitativa studie har dels skett via flygblad där de själva fått tagit kontakt med studiens författare samt ur ett snöbollsurval. Detta resulterade i att fyra män kom ingick i studien. Intervjuerna har genomförts och baserats på studiens tre teman: bemötande, meningsfullhet och delaktighet.

The purpose of this essay is to examine progression in user education atprimary and secondary school levels, specifically the role played byschool libraries, librarians and strategy documents in securingeducational progression. Progression is examined in the user educationprovided by the five schools, part of the same municipal schoolmanagement area which share the same strategy plan. The area, NorraFäladen, was awarded School Library of the Year in 2011 for its work,making it particularly interesting for this essay's purpose. The studycombines interviews with the area's three school librarians, who dividetheir time between the five schools, with an analysis of the strategydocuments that regulate user education within Norra Fäladen. Theanalytical framework is based on: AASL's model of progression in usereducation (Standards for the 21st-century learner); Ekström's model forsuccessful and active strategy documents; Kuhlthau's theory of thelibrarian's role in the information search process; and Limberg'staxonomy of the role of the school library.The study shows how a number of concurrent factors and prerequisitesinfluence how goals for progression in user education are met.

Barnfattigdomen är ett samhällsproblem som är högaktuellt i media och i samhällsdebatten. Syftet med studien var att få en ökad kunskap om de fattiga barnens situation i Sverige, detta för att kunna ta fram empowermentstrategier som skulle kunna underlätta för dem, utifrån ett socialpedagogiskt förhållningssätt. Uppsatsen är upplagd som en litteraturstudie och genom textanalys har vi sökt svar på frågorna: Vilken problematik möter de fattiga barnen i hemmet, i skolan och på fritiden? Hur hanterar barnen sin situation? Hur ser barnens behov ut? Kan vi underlätta för barnen och i så fall på vilket sätt? I vår resultatdel tittade vi på vilken problematik fattiga barn möter och hur de hanterar det.  Resultatet visar att de möter begränsningar och upplever känslor av skam, i jämförelse med andra barn. Skolan visade sig vara en central arena där problematiken var tydlig.
