Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur nyanställda upplever sin socialisation vad gäller social kompetens och yrkeskompetens. Studiens två frågeställningar var; Hur upplever nyanställda att de har förvärvat social kompetens genom organisations-socialiseringen? Hur upplever de nyanställda att de har socialiserats in i yrkeskompetensen? Undersökningen var av kvalitativ karaktär där fyra semi-strukturerade intervjuer har genomförts. Resultatet visar på att de nyanställda upplever att de har socialiserats in i organisationen vad gäller den sociala kompetensen genom sina mer erfarna medarbetare och även genom att sätta sig in i organisationskulturen vid ett tidigt stadie. Yrkeskompetensen har också förvärvats genom interaktion med de äldre medarbetarna men även genom att praktiskt utföra arbetet istället för att läsa sig till kunskapen. .

This study elucidates the perceptions of twelve people at an age between 35 and 50 years, on what influence intoxication and drunkenness in the bar environment. The purpose of this study is to create an understanding of the effect the intoxication has on the visitor in the bar environment and this is done through qualitative method interviews. The theoretical frame we use to analyse the empirical data, is divided in to four parts: set and setting, environment and its regions, social behaviour and genus perspective. The theoretical material, together with the empirical data in the form of the results of the interviews, forms the platform for this paper. It is on the basis of these results that our questions finally will be answered.

It appears from today's debate about the quality of social work and addiction treatment that largely focuses on the impact of recent various interventions in the hope of being able to alter social work's role in society and also the organizational structure. The debate points to a part of the 1970s social welfare debate. Today's aspirations to establish an evidence-based practice can hardly be expected to solve the social services basic dilemmas is that it always have to do something, despite the many times you cannot get clear instructions on which funds should be used by law or science. Even if you follow the rules and practices based on scientific studies should the importance of various key initiatives to remedy deficiencies in social service work with addicts in large part depend on how, in these initiatives define the term "evidence-based practice" and what steps will be indicated for to develop practice. My starting point was to explore how evidence-based social work in connection with medication-assisted treatment for opiate addiction look, which evidence-based interventions Social Services currently uses in connection with medication-assisted treatment for opiate addiction, as well as how to work with it in the ordinary course of business. The study showed that social services have become better at using these methods in recent years and that today there are more tools available than before.

Samhället står inför stora utmaningar då undersköterskeyrket hotas med stora pensionsavgångar och för få sökande elever till vård och omsorgsprogrammet. Detta kommer att ha en stor påverkan på oss alla då undersköterskeyrket ingår i Sveriges största yrkesområde.I vår studie har vi valt att undersöka elever på vård och omsorgsprogrammet, för att se hur de reflekterar över sin utbildning och se hur Social bakgrund är med och påverkar val man gör. Till vår hjälp har vi använt oss av teorier från Pierre Bourdieu, Thomas Brante, Bernt Gustavsson och Gerd Lindgren för att skapa en förståelse kring denna problematik.För att få en bredd i vår studie har vi valt att använda en kvantitativ metod i form av enkäter som vi lämnade ut till gymnasielever på vård och omsorgsprogrammet. Resultatet av enkäterna visar bland annat på att elevernas sociala bakgrund har en viss inverkan på gymnasievalet och utbildning. Resultatet visar även att många av eleverna har som mål att studera vidare efter gymnasiet vilket leder till ett stort rekryteringsbehov som drabbar hela vård- och omsorgssektorn..

The aim with this study was to examine what it is that govern the way that municipalities develop the non-institutional care for youth. An extensive development of non-institutional care for children is a visible trend in municipal social service and probable reasons for this development are, among other things, research that show inadequate results of the institution care and economy. Our main questions at issue were how the municipalities argue the priorities that have been done within their youth care services with regard to the non-institutional care and how they reason considering this? Furthermore we asked why the municipalities have chosen to develop their non-institutional care for youth the way they have and on what grounds they make their choices? This study consists of eight qualitative interviews with politicians and employees in four different municipals along with analysis of relevant documents. We have found that what governs the way that municipalities develop the non-institutional care for youth has to do with that the municipalities found it vital to find alternative solutions to the expensive and ineffective institutional care, that they comprehend that the quality of non-institutional care are higher then of the institutional care and that the non- institutional care is seen as more effective with regards to economic results and achieved treatment results.

The purpose with this work is to describe the language that is built around the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in Sweden. Our questions are: What does the professional field look like; who writes, about what and for which kind of readers? How do they describe the expressions and the upcoming of CFS? For which reasons can CFS be considered as a medical diagnosis/illness? How can CFS be understood from a social perspective? Our theoretical starting point is a social constructive theory and also Karin Johannisson's theory about medicalization and Foucault?s theory about power. We have from a literature-exposition of Swedish articles from 1989 to 2006, done a social constructive discourse analysis with help from Laclau & Mouffe's discourse theory, and Fairclough's model of social practices. In our textual analysis we found three dominating discourses: A medical discourse, a social/cultural discourse and a general/popular discourse.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka möjligheter och hinder det finns i denmångkulturella skolan, med fokus på elever med muslimsk bakgrund. Malmö har under de senaste decennierna blivit en mångkulturell stad. Detta syns tydligt i vissa stadsdelar där stora delar av befolkningen är mångkulturella. Vi har fördjupat oss i teorier om hur lärare, barn och föräldrar med muslimsk bakgrund kan uppleva den svenska skolan. I litteraturgenomgången framgår det vilka hinder och kulturkrockar som kan uppstå då barn med muslimsk bakgrund ska anpassa sig till bland annat den svenska skolans synsätt och undervisning.

AbstractIT can facilitate communication among individuals and connect people across geographical distances. On the contrary, citizens of the society who do not use communication technologies to some extent might feel excluded from the information society. As elderly citizens are already in a vulnerable position for the digital divide, communication technology becomes an important tool for interacting with friends and family. The social situation of elderly, 60 years of age and older, is a topic of current interest since they are the fastest growing age group in the world today. Further, social interaction becomes more important among elderly since it has a positive effect on well- being.
