The aim of the thesis was to explore the attitudes toward social documentation held by care personnel, as well as factors that could have an impact on the process of social documentation. The study is based on a survey encompassing 100 respondents working as care personnel at six different eldercare units at Kungsholmen in Stockholm. The data was analyzed by quantitative methods, using a statistical software package (SPSS). The main questions in the study are whether the respondents know how, what and why they should document, what obstacles they experience and what they would need in order to document more or better, as well as whether there are factors that influence their attitudes and knowledge regarding documentation. The key results show that more time is the most common need, and lack of time the most common obstacle to social documentation reported by the respondents. Furthermore, the results show that those who report that they are satisfied with their working conditions are most likely to also report that they know how and why social documentation should be conducted. These results suggest that it is urgent for organizations to create good working conditions in order to increase motivation for social documentation. The results are analyzed using organizational theories.

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.

SammanfattningExamensarbete i företagsekonomi, Ekonomihögskolan vid Mälardalens Högskola, Kandidatuppsats i ekonomistyrning, vårterminen 2008.Datum: 2008-06-04Nivå: Kandidatuppsats i företagsekonomi, 15hpFörfattare:Carolina Ampuero och Martin Sloberg.Titel: Att mäta människor ? en fallstudie på ett nordiskt byggföretagHandledare: Matti Skoog, universitetslektorProblem:Humankapital är svårt att mäta eftersom företaget varken kan äga eller fullt kontrollera resursen. Problemet uppstår vid bestämmandet av vad som är relevant att mäta och hur man ska mäta det för att uppnå högre prestation.Syfte:Uppsatsens syfte är att genom en fallstudie fördjupa förståelsen av hur organisationer internt mäter och analyserar sitt humankapital samt vilka potentiella konsekvenser detta kan ha för styrningen av organisationen.Metod:Denna studie omfattar en kvalitativ metod genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med personalen på företaget NCC.Slutsats:Humankapital är svårt att mäta men med hjälp av mätinstrumentet Humankapitalindex (HKI) kan mätningen förenklas. Nyttan med HKI faller bort helt eller delvis lokalt i vissa fall p.g.a negativa mätningsfaktorer. Att nyttan ibland faller bort lokalt påverkar dock inte den strategiska nyttan.Sökord: Humankapital, intellektuell kapital, mäta, kunskap, kompetens, immateriella tillgångar..

The purpose of this study is to discuss the use of social media by the Swedish Police for democratic purposes. The idea of citizen empowerment is closely related to the development of new communication technologies such as social media. Yet many studies indicate that governmental institutions rarely make use of the assumed potentials of social media.In this study, the democratic potential of social media is derived from Habermas normative concept of deliberative participation. Operational definitions emphasize discursive equality, interactive reciprocity and external impact. The analytical framework is combined with qualitative text analysis to highlight the conditions of interaction between representatives of the Police and citizens.In conclusion: the democratic potential of social media, from a Habermasian point of view, is to a significant extent neglected at the expense of its strategic advantages.

This study?s aim was to explore how the social media Twitter is used by Swedish political leaders and how they manage the relationship between having both private and public conversations in a new public sphere, the social sphere. In Sweden, studies in this area are yet to grow. We achieved our aim by responding to our three questions at the issue: What kind of content is published in each of the politicians Twitter stream?

The aim of this study was to examine how the social services could investigate and support children of irregular immigrants within the boundaries of the law. More specifically it aimed to examine the legal possibilities and obstacles for the social services to support irregular immigrants, how the officials at the social services act considering the legal aspects, and how they reason morally and ethically when dealing with irregular immigrants. To answer the aim of the study the theory of positive law was used combined with qualitative interviews with two officials at the social services. Moreover a small quantitative telephone study with officials in the social services and with voluntary organizations was made. The study has used theories of sociology of law, law and ethics, and professional (civil) disobedience.

In this study, the aim is to show how the social services fails to implement a specific rights law (LSS) wich is supposed to have the function of protecting the wellfare and provide specific rights to people with severe mental disabilities. By applying chritical theory on this case the aim is to provide an alternative answer on why it is possible for the social services to ignore these peoples rights.By revealing the power structures in the encounter between the system and a person with mental dissablilities, I conclude that people with mental disabilities does not fit in when it comes the social sevices way of implementing the law and further more that a private person is extreamly exposed to the systems arbitrariness..

Att behärska två språk och två länders syn på pedagogik är en bra förutsättning om man vill undersöka och jämföra dessa två länders syn på barn med funktionsnedsättning. Syftet med föreliggande uppsats är därmed att belysa hur skolans styrdokument i Sverige och i Ungern formulerar och beskriver barn med funktionsnedsättning. En del av syftet är också att finna likheter och skillnader mellan det svenska och det ungerska styrdokumentet.Som material till ändamålet används den nya svenska Skollagen (2010) och den ungerska Utbildningslagen (1993). Analysen genomfördes med analysverktyget diskursanalys där jag har analyserat språket som beskriver barn med funktionsnedsättning.Resultaten visar att båda skollagarna har en tydlig koppling till de gällande internationella dokumenten där allas lika värde poängteras. Den svenska Skollagen har dessutom en relationell och deltagande syn på funktionsnedsättning medan den ungerska Utbildningslagen, som är 17 år äldre än den svenska lagen, betonar en kompensatorisk och individinriktad syn..
