This essay focuses on the construction of so called "computer game addiction" or "computer game abuse" in the Swedish press during 2000-2006. During this period computer game addiction went from an obscure phenomenon to a legit reason for the involuntary commitment of a fourteen-year-old.The study's theory is based on several social constructionist ideas. Kitsuse and Spector's theories about constructing social problems as claims-making activities are used for understanding the actions of the individual and groups involved. Hewitt and Hall's article about quasi-theory is used to explain the construction of explainations for the new social phenomenon. Blumer's five-stage model is used for categorizing the construction of the new social problem.

Ur ett arbetsgivarperspektiv visar tidigare forskning en alltigenom positiv bild av rekrytering via sociala medier, vilket kan förklara dess ökade popularitet. För en arbetssökande däremot kan social rekrytering upplevas som ett hot mot integriteten, eftersom personlig information exponeras för arbetsgivaren. Syftet med denna enkätstudie var därför att öka kunskapen om arbetssökandes inställning till och emotionella upplevelse av social rekrytering utifrån demografiska aspekter. Resultatet från de icke-parametriska testerna visade på en något ambivalent inställning, men med positiva förtecken. Ett samband framkom mellan upplevd nytta och den generella inställningen, men även ålder hade en inverkan på attityden.

Att som organisation existera på sociala medier är inte alltid lätt. Enorma möjligheter finns att interagera med sina publics och intressenter, men vad händer dagen när något går snett? Människor rasar över en händelse och skriver tusentals inlägg på organisationens sida som helt förlorat kontrollen över innehållet. Mordhot haglar i takt med ironiseringar och förtvivlan från människor. En organisation som vet hur det känns är Parken Zoo.

Ideella organisationer verkar utan kommersiella vinstintressen och är icke-offentliga. De spelar en viktig roll i vårt samhälle och får allt mer utrymme och uppmärksamhet.

The study showed that verbal threats are commonplace but physical violence is rare.

The health care sector Öster has the highest average absence due to short-time sickness in Örebro. It is the short-term absence that has the highest costs for the organisation, not just in money, but also in quality disturbances and administrative work. Health care sector Öster is divided into four areas with a manager for each.

Studien är kvalitativ och utgörs av halvstrukturerade gruppintervjuer med olika yrkeskategorier verksamma i en f-6 skola (förskoleklass till och med årskurs 6).
