The main purpose of this study was that, in the light of theories of how street level bureaucrats may affect the implementation of political decisions, examine and analyze the social workers interpretations of the child perspective's impact on the handling of social assistance, and what opportunities and/or limitations they feel that the organizational preconditions means for the application. The survey had a qualitative research approach and consisted of eight thematic interviews with a total of ten respondents operating in five different municipalities. Eight of the respondents were social workers dealing directly with social assitance and two had managerial positions. The results of the interviews were then analyzed with the help of an actor-structure approach to implementation and Michael Lipskys theory of street-level bureaucrats and their role as policy makers. The results of the survey showed that the respondents had relatively similar views on the child perspectives implications for work with social assistance.

Social media, with its immense and continuous flow of information, has in recent years growntremendously in terms of users and content. This increase has led companies and organizations keen to be seen within these channels of communication, but do they always have a clear idea of how andwhy, and are they aware of the risks that are associated with it? Current research on social media is somewhat divided in two. The debate concerns, among other things, what value the information on social media has, and whether the media is really a good communication channel or not. This raises several questions, for example can a company really afford to remain outside of social media with allthe information it generates? This research aims at answering these questions in order to further understand how organizations discuss social media presence and strategies.

Syftet med den här studien är att granska några musik- och kulturskolors elevrekrytering och elevunderlag ur ett tillgänglighetsperspektiv, samt hur ett antal instrumentallärare resonerar kring detta. Bakgrunden till syftet vilar på skollagens och läroplanernas paragrafer rörande alla elevers lika rätt till utbildning samt ett personligt engagemang i frågan. Eftersom musik- och kulturskolor är en helt frivillig skolform är frågan om vilka elever som deltar mer komplex än i den obligatoriska skolan, vilket gör den intressant att studera. Studien har en fenomenologisk ansats och använder en kvalitativ intervjustudie som (informationsinhämtnings-)metod. De intervjuade är instrumentallärare inom musik- och kulturskolans verksamhet.

Social enterprises are increasingly gaining ground as an organisational form in Sweden, however the institutional structures for financing these types of organisations are yet to be established. With its usual origin within the civic society, social enterprises prioritise a higher goal than to maximise economic profit, which often causes these organisations to be dependent upon resources from external constituents within its institutional environment. The aim of this study was to examine how a social enterprise, which derives from the civic society, acts to mobilise resources from constituents in its institutional environment. This was executed through a case study of Jordbro Världsorkester (JVO) - a typical organisation in the civic society which takes the form of a social enterprise - by identifying how assets were used to gain resources in strategic responses to institutional processes and examining how institutional processes affects how JVO acts. Throughout the study, qualitative interviews were conducted with JVO and constituents in its institutional environment and a theoretical framework was developed which explains how capital is used to gain more capital in an emergent strategy of strategic responses as the organisation gets in contact with institutional processes from its institutional environment.

Investeringar krävs för att lantbruksföretagaren ska ha en möjlighet att följa utvecklingen och möjliggöra effektiviseringar i det dagliga arbetet på gården. För investeringar krävs kapital och ofta är lantbrukets investeringar kapitalkrävande. Det är maskiner och byggnader som behöver bytas ut, vilket kan slå hårt på den redan pressade ekonomin. De senaste årens markpriser har stigit kraftigt vilket inneburit att bankerna varit villiga att låna ut mer kapital, eftersom gårdarna har haft möjlighet att sätta marken i säkerhet för lånen. Många lantbruksföretag i Götaland drivs som kombinationsföretag och har både skogs- och jordbruksproduktion som sina huvudsakliga produktionsgrenar. Alternativet för dessa företag är att använda inkomster från skogsproduktionen till de kapitalkrävande investeringarna.

The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to examine how public libraries use socialmedia for marketing purposes, and what librarians think about this. My focus of this thesislies on what librarians think about marketing of libraries through social media and if theythink that marketing through social media can create a better relationship between the libraryand its users. The questions I wanted to answer were:? Libraries using social media, for what purpose do they use them? ? Do the libraries choose to use social media to market their organization? Why? ? What attitudes exist among librarians about marketing through social media?The theoretical framework for this thesis is Evert Gummessons model off Relationshipmarketing and the process of Internet marketing, which both are based on relationalperspective. The methodology used for this study was structured interviews.

?The modern library in the network society?A study of cultural politicians and librarians opinions about libraries' use of social mediaSocial media is becoming more and more interacted in our daily lives and Carlsson (2013) argues that today's libraries have undergone major challenges in the digital information technology's entry in the library arena. The new technology has led to sum up in one question: how a library should relate to the digital information technology, the issue has applied in particular the social communications media, such as Facebook, Twitter and more. The purpose of this paper is to examine the culture of politicians and librarians 'perceptions of public libraries' use of social media linked to the libraries and their democracy promotion efforts. This is analyzed from Castells theories about the network society and the digital divide.In summary, the study concluded that the majority of the culture politicians and librarians believe that social media is a part of the future of the library.

De svenska hushållen har idag en rekordstor skuldsättning, där bolån ofta utgör den största delen av hushållens skuld. Värdet på bostäder har ökat kraftigt sedan början på 1980--?talet, vilket är en starkt bidragande anledning till den ökade skuldsättningen. I ett försök att kyla ner prisutvecklingen på bo--? städer införde finansinspektionen ett bolånetak under år 2010.

Abstract The increased focus on social capital theory has made its way into labour economics. This has led to the creation of a vast literature about the use of networks and informal search methods in the labour-market, a literature that to some extent also deals with immigrants search behaviour and their relatively high unemployment rate. Characteristic for the literature in the area is the lack of analysis of actual networks. Which types of contacts do these networks contain; how are the networks used in the labour-market; and which type of network generates a high amount of social capital. These questions are important for the general understanding of how social capital functions, within the labour-market, but also for the understanding of how immigrants use their networks in order to find themselves jobs.

Inom området entreprenörskap finns massor av böcker skrivna. De behandlar allt från innovationsprocessen och kreativitet till affärsplaner och marknadsföring.Så gott som alla av dessa böcker utgår dock ifrån att entreprenören har ett klart mål för sin förmåga till företagsamhet. I managementlitteraturen beskrivs tillvägagångssätt om hur entreprenören ska lägga upp sina strategier, knyta kontaktnät, skaffa kapital och andra metoder för att nå sitt mål för sin idé. Det verkar helt enkelt vara en idealbild där allt bara stegvis händer med ett lyckat mål. Ponera att entreprenören istället redan har givna resurser såsom partners och kapital, men ingen klar idé över vad man kan skapa med hjälp av dessa resurser. Syftet med undersökningen är att ta reda på hur entreprenörer i verkligheten arbetar vid planering och beslutsfattande. Använder de sig av de metoder som beskrivs i managementböcker, eller låter det saker hända mer oplanerat och spontant? Med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer med tre entreprenörer ska jag försöka ta reda på hur entreprenörer i verkligheten förhåller sig till beslutsfattande och planering. Resultatet visar att förhållningssätten är lika olika som entreprenörernas personligheter.

The aim of this study was to examine the view of social service workers on the secondary housing market based upon their work with social investigations regarding people with a difficult substance abuse. The foundation of this study rests upon a phenomenon, which according to other scholars, occurs in the secondary housing market in Sweden. The secondary housing market consists of a multitude of housing projects that social services provide for people who are homeless. The phenomenon is that the secondary housing market contains a number of demands aimed at the clients who live in these housing projects. If a client fails to live up to the demands it can sometimes lead to negative consequences which results in an exclusion from the housing projects.
