The aim of this M.A.-thesis in social work is to problematize the assimilatoric concept of integration and its discourses in a postcolonial perspective in relation to social work in Denmark.As a support theory I use symbolic interactionism. By using these theories I show how the concept of integration and its discourses, when its aim is assimilatoric, can be understood and problematized with concepts as binary oppositions and hegemony.It is shown that the construction of the discoursive other is a useful term as an instrument of interpretation of power in general. The relevance to social work in relation to the social workers double powered positions, professional and cultural power to define 'the other', in social work with ethnic minorities is shown in relation to the post colonial perspective with support of symbolic interactionism. The white western world hegemony and the social workers power positions in relation to the clients fits to the theoretic frame chosen in the thesis.A second aim in this thesis is to point to new ways for social work and to the necessity to reflect over a globalized world characterized by international migration, ethnic relations and diversity..

The purpose with this examination essay was to find out if participation of children in social welfare investigations had increased since the social services had started to work with BBIC. I compared the participation of the child before BBIC, then when social service had started to work with BBIC and I tried to see if there were increased participation in the investigations. My theoretic starting-point was the symbolic interactionism and I used the qualitative method of investigation. In my investigation I found that there is not yet any increase in participation of the child in the investigations when social service work with BBIC. What I found was that the reason to start an investigation often was that the parents made the problem for the child and that conditions at home for the child influenced the possibility of the child to communi- cate with an adult that the child did not know.

We chose to study the groups for divorced children in Vellinge municipal because there was no evaluation made of these kinds of groups with the involved methods.Vellinge municipal has had groups for children to divorced parents since 2000. During this period of time the total numbers of children in these groups have expanded. As of now, there are two groups.Our goal with this study was to see which way the CAP, Children Are People, manual has been implemented in the every-day work in the group. Several studies have been made about CAP but not in the context of groups for divorced children. We have also examined results in other municipals that have implemented groups for divorced children into their social services.We have interviewed ten children and four social workers.

Arbetets syfte har varit att klargo?ra hur Nybro Energi ABs miljo?dator utfo?r sina bera?kningar och om bera?kningssa?ttet den anva?nder a?r korrekt.Genom att ha kritiskt analyserat hur miljo?datorns bera?kningar a?r strukturerade genomfo?rde vi kontrollbera?kningar och kunde med hja?lp av DU-teknik skapa en laborationsmall fo?r ja?mfo?relsebera?kningar och o?vriga tester.I resultatet finns en ja?mfo?relse mellan laborationsmallens och miljo?datorns utra?knade pannverkningsgrad vid olika tidpunkter. Ha?r framga?r a?ven miljo?datorns formelstruktur och hur vardera formel ha?nger samman.Ur resultatet kan slutsatsen faststa?llas att miljo?datorn utfo?r korrekta bera?kningar eftersom pannverkningsgraderna sta?mde o?verens. Eventuella felka?llor sa? som ma?tfel gjorde dock att ett sa?krare resultat hade uppna?tts om en mer grundlig och genomga?ende underso?kning gjorts, da?r alla givare och enheter som fo?rser miljo?datorn med information kontrollerats.Avslutningsvis ges na?gra fo?rba?ttringsfo?rslag som Nybro Energi AB kan go?ra fo?r att sa?kersta?lla att miljo?datorn utfo?r noggrannare och mer verklighetstrogna bera?kningar. .

Denna uppsats handlar om social ångest hos elever i skolan relaterat till skolans arbetssätt och redovisningsformer. Vårt syfte var att undersöka lärares uppfattningar huruvida skolans arbetssätt och redovisningsformer kan medföra eller motverka att social ångest framkallas hos eleverna. Syftet var även att undersöka elevers åsikter om arbetssätt och redovisningsformer i skolan. Utifrån resultatet av enkätundersökningen, intervjuerna och det som tidigare forskats fram i ämnet drog vi slutsatsen att skolans arbetssätt och redovisningsformer både kan medföra och motverka att social ångest framkallas hos eleverna. Detta beroende på vilken hänsyn som tas till problem med social ångest i skolans vardagliga arbete..

Denna studie undersökte samsjuklighet mellan smärta och social ångest i en smärtpopulation genom klusteranalys. Syftet var att undersöka om det fanns en undergrupp bland smärtpatienter som skattade högt på social ångest samt högt på upplevd invalidering före och efter smärtbehandling.

Data bestod av självskattningsformulär från 157 smärtpatienter. Resultatet visade att det fanns en undergrupp som skattade högt på social ångest och upplevd invalidering.

I dagens samhälle talas det mycket om social kompetens. Social kompetens innebär en förmåga att umgås och kommunicera med andra människor i sin omgivning. Begreppet har fått ökad spridning på grund av att vi nu lever i ett alltmer globaliserat samhälle där individen har fått allt större inflytande, och därmed också större krav över sig att kunna uppföra sig på ett passande sätt i rätt situation. Det förväntas av individen att hon ska kunna samspela med andra människor i exempelvis skola och arbetsliv. Social kompetens är något som mognat fram under tidens lopp och ingår i den så kallade civilisationsprocessen, som kan delas in i fyra olika faser, där social kompetens är den fjärde och sista fasen i denna process.
