The purpose with this study is to enlighten and discuss the information and communication which is spreading through social media, about the tourist operators and also to examine the operators view on social media. Social media can be described as a tool to use word of mouth on the Internet. To make this possible, five actors involved in tourism were picked on Gotland and interviewed for a content analysis. The results showed that the use of social media as an information channel before the consumer buys a trip, has increased. The study also shows that the selected actors have a lot of work to do, before they understand how to use the social media in their best interest for further developing their companies.

The aim with the study was, that through a qualitative research approach, to examine in which way social services employees perceive information about children with incarcerated fathers and how they furthermore relates to the child's right to both parents in these situations. Seven interviews were implemented with social workers in the Stockholm County to obtain informa-tion on the following questions; how the children's needs are noticed at the social services, how employees discuss the child's right to their incarcerated father and which possibilities and obstacles social workers experience to promote contact between the child and the father. The ecology of human development theory was used in the analysis. The conclusions are that chil-dren with incarcerated fathers seldom is noticed at the social services as a result of inadequate cooperation between authorities but also due to whether the social services should be respon-sible for the children. Furthermore, children always have the right to maintain contact with their incarcerated father, with exceptions for situations where physical or sexual abuse have occurred.

I det här examensarbetet försöker jag visa hur man kan använda forskning kring gruppkreativitet för att analysera samarbetet i grupper som löser geometriska problem. Gruppdeltagarna är gymnasieelever i årskurs 2 och 3 på en skola i södra Sverige. Vetenskapen om gruppkreativitet har uppstått till stor del från studier av brainstorming. Brainstorming syftar till att öka kreativiteten i en grupp genom att låta dem ta fram idéer tillsammans enligt vissa regler. Fyra grupper har filmats och analyserats och jag har funnit att det överlag verkar finns en positiv inställning till matematisk problemlösning i grupp. Grupperna har haft problem med passiviseringar, blockeringar och starka ledare..

The aim of this study was to explore how social workers interpret the part of the Swedish social services act that regulates each municipality?s responsibility of the people staying in it. The study?s general methodological approach connects to sociology of law. The research questions were: (1) What factors are considered important by the social workers in assessments of responsible municipality? (2) Are there variations in the assessments of responsible municipality and in that case; how can the variations be explained? (3) What discretion do the social workers consider that they have in assessments of responsible municipality? Previous studies have found considerable differences in professional social work assessments in Sweden.

Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka hur en grupp pedagoger, på två förskolor, arbetar med barnen för att utveckla intresse för den skriftspråkliga världen. För att uppnå detta syfte har vi genomfört en undersökning på två förskolor. Vi har observerat verksamheten samt utfört kvalitativa intervjuer med sammanlagt åtta pedagoger. För att kunna beskriva och sätta ord på vad vi sett har vi läst in oss på relevant teori av Jörgen Frost, Caroline Liberg och Aidan Chambers med flera. Resultatet visar att pedagogerna utgår från skönlitteratur för att tillvarata barnens intresse för den skriftspråkliga världen, vilket aktuell forskning förespråkar.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att med hjälp av litteratur, observationer och elevtexter, undersöka hur man med hjälp av skönlitteratur kan inspirera elevers skrivande individuellt och i samspel med andra. Arbetet inleds med en forskningsbakgrund som fokuserar på elevers skrivutveckling, användning av skönlitteratur i skolan, vad styrdokumenten nämner om skrivande och skönlitteratur samt redogörelse för hur analyser av texter kan utföras. Metoden som använts för att inspirera elevers skrivande beskrivs, där utgångspunkten är en skönlitterär bok om Tummen av Inger och Lasse Sandberg. Eleverna har fått instruktioner om hur man bygger upp en text, för att sedan kunna skriva egna texter. För att kunna få en inblick i det enskilda skrivandet och skrivandet i grupp har en klass skrivit individuellt och en klass skrivit i grupp.

Den här studien handlar om barnen förskoleklassens matematiska utveckling och strategier de använder sig av när de räknar. Den utforskar även hur barn samarbetar när de jobbar i grupp med matematiska problem. Två undersökningar genomfördes med filmkamera, den första under­sök­ningen delades upp i två delar. I den första delen intervjuades några barn ett och ett för att fastställa var barnen i klassen befinner sig utvecklings­mässigt, i den andra delen fick barnen i stora grupper om fyra till sex barn lösa matematiska problem tillsammans. Denna undersökning ledde vidare till undersökning nummer två som skedde vid ett annat tillfälle.

This thesis examines the possibility of Bolivian indigenous women?s social movements? getting their demands of a gender equal society fulfilled in the new state which was initiated in 2005 when Evo Morales became the first president representing the indigenous people of the country. By using a qualitative method I have showed that although the Bolivian indigenous women?s social movements? historically has been significant political actors for social change in the country, with representation at both regional and national level, Bolivian women are still subordinated in the social and political sphere. By applying a feminist intersectional perspective which takes its point of departure in a understanding of power as multidimensional, where gender, ethnicity and class are constitutive principals, multiculturalism theories and a social movements theory framework, I have found that even if institutional changes, that opened the system increased the indigenous women?s social movements political participation in Bolivia, power structures based on gender limited their possibilities to influence both socially and politically.
