Beskrivningen som en ö mitt i Malmö bekräftar bilden av Rosengård som en isolerad stadsdel i förhållande till övriga Malmö. Ett resultat av denna fysiska isolering är att stadsdelen besöks av få Malmöbor utöver de som bor där och att få Rosengårdsbor söker sig utanför stadsdelen. Det finns dock en strävan mot att öppna upp stadsdelen och genom olika åtgärder göra den mer tillgänglig och attraktiv. Med detta hoppas kommunen locka dit folk från övriga Malmö och göra Rosengård till en bättre plats för dess invånare.Idrottsområdet i söder, beläget på Rosengårdsfältet, ingår i dessa planer och är tänkt att förändras för att göras mer tillgängligt och attraktivt att vistas i. Det finns delar som motverkar detta i dag, bland annat upplevs området som slitet, otillgängligt och otryggt.

Vi har valt att undersöka attityder och handling, och om det finns något samband mellan attityd och handling gentemot hållbar utveckling hos elever i årskurs nio. För att ta reda på elevernas attityder och handling för en hållbar utveckling har vi delat ut 160 enkäter på Korsavadskolan i Simrishamn. Eleverna har fått svara på ett tjugotal frågor om vardagshandlingar, konsumtion och framtidstänkande. Resultatet visar att många har en positiv attityd till hållbar utveckling men när eleverna måste ändra på sin egen livsstil är de mindre positiva. Resultatet visar dessutom att de som uppger att de alltid källsorterar har genomgående en mera positiv attityd till hållbar utveckling.

In August 2007 we went to New Zealand for a placement at Child Youth and Family Services. There our interest in Family Group Conferences (FGC) took off. FGC is not near as common in Sweden as in New Zealand. Therefore the purpose of this study was to examine how the Social Services in Helsingborg and Höör in Sweden and Belfast in Northern Ireland work with FGC. We had the privilege to go to Belfast in Northern Ireland as part of the project Insight Europe.

Vid slutet av år 2001 står Argentina inför en ekonomisk, politisk och social kollapps. Orsakerna till denna kris är fortfarande oklara. I detta arbete gör vi ett försök att identifiera några av dessa orsaker. Genom att göra en översikt av Argentinas ekonomiska och politiska historia, identifierar vi en avgörande förändring, då landet antar genomgående liberala reformer till följd av den skuldsättning gentemot IMF och världsbanken som landet försatt sig i. Detta ligger helt i linje med de strukturanpassningsprogram som IMF och världsbanken mer eller mindre påtvingar fattiga länder.

Syftet med den här kvalitativa studien är att studera självbilden hos före detta missbrukare. För att undersöka syftet delas det in i tre frågeställningar: Vad har påverkat före detta missbrukare i utveckling av självbilden? Vilken betydelse har uppväxt och relationer haft för utveckling av självbilden? Hur har missbruket påverkat hur individerna definierar sig själva?För att besvara dessa frågor utfördes en intervjustudie av sex vuxna i Stockholm med en bakgrund i missbruk. Materialet bearbetas genom tematisering för att undersöka specifika kategorier som i analysen delas in i övergripande teman. Intervjumaterialet analyseras genom teorier om självbild, identitetsutveckling, socialt arv och individens påverkan av utanförskap och erkännande.

The aim with this study was to analyze and understand how begging is constructed as a social problem in Sweden between September of 2010 and the end of February in 2014 in debate articles in Dagens Nyheter. To do this I have chosen to use a social problems theory and critical discourse analysis to highlight some aspects in the process of defining the social problem. The study's main finding is that the construction of beggars and begging appears to be in a relatively extensive redefinition in the current situation. It is shown by, for example, a shift in focus in the discourse. For this reason, it is relevant for social work to examine how the construction progresses..

The purpose of this essay was to examine municipal guidelines regarding the administration of the social assistance, collected from 18 municipalities in the Stockholm-area to achieve a greater understanding on how they were constructed in respect to the legislation and how the language mediated their contents. The legal aspects of the social assistance was studied through a jurisprudential method in which the legislative history, texts of laws and case laws were examined. The empirical aspect of this essay was studied through a hermeneutical method and analyzed through theories of social constructionism and legal pluralism. The results from the jurisprudential study were also used to understand how the municipal guidelines were constructed in relation to the law. The results of this essay corresponded well with previous studies in this field where considerable divergences in the approval of social assistance have been established.

AbstractThe political parties in Sweden are losing members. This is seen as a problem because the political parties are the base and the recruiting ground for members to decision-making bodies. Social movements are seen as a place where people with a modest background could express their opinions and also learn the political process. These movements have also lost members during the last decades and this could seriously affect the representation of lower social groups among the decision-makers. This essay emanates from Robert D.

Detta examensarbete kretsar kring mediet ?utställning? och fenomenet ?mönster?, som tillsammans vill förmedla en upplevelse som syftar till social hållbarhet. Utefter en bakgrundsresearch där konst, design och begreppet social hållbarhet möts, följer en process mot en designlösning stödd av konstnärliga metoder. Resultatet eftersträvar att vara både användbart, dekorativt och samtidigt belysa ett viktigt område; mobbning. Medan ?mediedesign? främst kopplas till design för tryckta och interaktiva medier, utforskar detta arbete även andra delar av ämnet som egentligen kan te sig i oändliga former..

This study aims to further Work-family conflict research for Social Workers by providing insight into what kind of impact the job role of social workers in Sweden has on their private lives and how they deal with it. The study operates from a qualitative approach and is based on three focus group-interviews and three semi-structured interviews with people working in different fields of social work. The empirical material has been analyzed through the Dramaturgical Perspective and Frame concept of Erving Goffman. The results of this study show that the job role impacts the psychological well-being of social workers, their family life and their social life to varying degrees, mainly due to organizational and client-based aspects, often resulting in role-conflicts and a lack of energy in their private lives. The primary strategies were found to be conversing with colleagues, spending time alone, embracing hobbies and having a clear understanding of individual responsibility. .
