I ägarledda företag består styrelsen oftast av ägaren själv eller av familjemedlemmar. Styrelsearbetet och styrelsens roll är ofta bara en formalitet. Flera författare påpekar vikten av att få in externa ledamöter i styrelsen för att få en aktiv styrelse och att få tillgång till fördelarna med den service, resurser och kompetens som en utomstående person kan ge. Anledningar till att inte ta in externa ledamöter hos ägarledda företag kan vara rädslan att förlora inflytandet över företaget eller att den externa ledamoten inte förstår företagets konkurrenssituation. Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka de företag som har tagit in externa ledamöter i styrelsen. Det som har undersökts är vilken kompetens som anskaffats och vilken roll den externa ledamoten har haft i styrelsen, samt om antalet anställda gett upphov till anskaffandet av externa ledamöter.

Syfte: Mitt syfte med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur lärare upplever klädselns betydelse för hur man blir framgångsrik i sin yrkesroll.

 The aim of this study was to examine how social workers perceive and interpret the term ?barnets bästa? (?The best for the child?), within the framework of investigatory work and enforcement of Swedish law, which is carried out by the Social Services.

We focused on age, experience, legislation, and external circumstances to gain insight into how these factors alter social workers? perception of the term ?barnets bästa?. Our theoretical approach was based on two theories on social constructivism.

This thesis studies how the Swedish government articulates social exclusion within the spring budget of 2007. Through a discourse theoretical approach, inspired by Ernest Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, the empirical findings are reconstructed through the nodal point of labour and two chains of equivalence, based upon the duality between employment and unemployment. By viewing social exclusion as a phenomenon concerning discourse, identity and politics, this duality forms the basis of a deconstructive and hegemonic analysis.I argue that the term social exclusion is a powerful and flexible political concept in that it obscures ideological assumptions and objectives as well as draws attention away from alternative social concepts. Throughout the thesis social exclusion is stressed as a social category constituting the relation between individual and society. Hence I argue that it is of vital importance that the values underlying its usage are made explicit and that social exclusion as a floating signifier is made an object of academic analysis..

The purpose of this essay was to investigate which factors the individuals found important in the process of becoming a person with a drug-free life. The framing of the questions we had were to get the experiences, thoughts and wishes of the drug users. The survey was based on thematised qualitative interviews and focused in the personal stories of the interviewees. We interviewed four women and five men, all of which had several years of drug-abuse behind them. We found similarities and patterns and we could identify that the three most important things was the own motivation, will and that the drug-abuser had the possibility to change their social network and had the ability to find other important things in life..

Studien syftar till att förtydliga och konkretisera den skriftliga kommunikativa, grammatiska kompetens man kan förvänta sig och kräva av deltagare, som gått studieväg 2, för att bli godkända. Den här studien, ett explorativt arbete, synar skriftlig förmåga på studieväg 2 kurs C, eftersom det är en nivå för språklig basfärdighet, som inte alltid är så lätt att uppnå. Jag är intresserad av vad eleverna åstadkommer i texter, som är bedömda och betygssatta, som E eller D, av andra inom Sfi- verksamheter i Stockholmsregionen.Genom att studera godkända elevtexter från Nationella Provet kurs C, får jag syn på exempel av den språkliga förmåga som kan förväntas av eleverna på den kursen. Texterna bör kunna ge ledtrådar till att konkretisera den språknivå eleverna befinner sig på och förtydliga kunskapskravens formulering. Vilka språkliga kännetecken finns i elevtexterna? Hur kan skriftlig kommunikativ kompetens synliggöras?    Trettio texter med en uppgift att berätta om en personlig händelse, ingår i studien.

The purpose of my study is to gain insight into how the education system (particularly social studies) is morally-minded based on the governing documents, former students and a textbook. I wanted to find out what morally-minded means and if it has a big role in social studies. Through interviews with former high school students (when my thesis is aimed at high school) I wanted to find out how they felt their social studies were educational and which the values that they had taken on from the lessons. I also chose to analyze a textbook to get a broader understanding of how the morally-minded education is written in specific areas relating to social studies. My study is a qualitative study and what I came up with is that the former students consider their social studies teaching lacked to some degree when it came to the morally-minded education. My investigation concludes that the morally-minded education is important in social studies as the purpose of social studies is to promote active democratic citizens.
