The purpose of this essay was to study social workers´ and polices contributions with criminal youth gangs and get an insight in how co-operation in the contributions between these governments comes to rank and works.To find out, we carried out a study with a qualitative design based on document studies and interviews with social workers´ and polices who were meeting youths in their work.Our findings were that it's hard to define a criminal youth gang. The social workers´ and polices have both individual and common contributions with criminal youth gangs. One of their most important lining is to prevent new recruitment of young people to criminality. The social workers´ and polices both have an intention to cooperate but they can?t agree about the method of work they shall use, ?the kid-glove or the whip?..

I denna studie är avsikten att studera vilka faktorer leder till att konflikter uppstår mellan två ungdomsgrupper. Grupperna i denna studie består av utrikesfödda ungdomar och inrikesfödda ungdomar med utrikesfödda föräldrar, på gymnasieskolan Liljevalchs internationella läroverk i Södertälje.För att nå en ökad kunskap om varför konflikter uppstår har vi använt oss av teoretiska utgångspunkter som ett verktyg. Dessa utgångspunkter är teorier om social identifikation, normer och kategorisering samt symbolisk interaktionism.Därmed har studien genomförts med hjälp av en kvalitativ metod, för att få en bättre förståelse för varför konflikter uppstår mellan två specifika ungdomsgrupper. I undersökningen utfördes datainsamlingen utifrån ett snöbollsurval. Genom snöbollsurvalet kom vi i kontakt med åtta ungdomar, där hälften av dessa utgjorde informanter från gruppen utrikesfödda ungdomar och de andra fyra från gruppen inrikesfödda ungdomar med utrikesfödda föräldrar.

Vindkraften är en snabbt växande energikälla i Sverige och hjälper till att uppnå det uppsatta målet att 50 % av den slutgiltiga energianvändningen ska vara från förnybar energi 2020. Den snabbt expanderande vindkraften kräver en god planering då en ändring av markanvändningen sker. I denna rapport synliggörs och diskuteras konflikten mellan vindkraftsetablering och skyddad natur i fjällområden med hjälp av en litteraturstudie, GIS-analys och intervjuer. Som exempel används Västerbottens och Jämtlands län. Även vindkraftsplaneringens framtid tas upp och diskuteras.

I  Sverige  har  antalet  äldre  ökat  de  senaste  årtiondena.  Ju  äldre  människor  blir  desto vanligare blir förekomsten av  sjukdomar och funktionshinder. Vårdplatserna inom  både slutenvård  och  särskilt  boende  har  blivit  färre  och  uppskattningsvis  vårdas  250  000 personer   i   hemvård  idag.   Denna   utveckling   innebär   att   den   närstående,   som   är anhörigvårdare i hemmet har en betydelsefull roll. Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva anhörigvårdarens  erfarenheter  av  kunskapsbehov  för  att  ge  omsorg  och  vård  till  sin make/maka med långvarig sjukdom och/eller funktionshinder i hemmet. Studien baseras på  intervjuer,  som  gjordes  med  anhörigvårdare  dels  genom  en  fokusgrupp  med  fyra deltagare,  dels  genom  fyra  individuella  intervjuer,  det  vill  säga  sammanlagt  åtta informanter.  Intervjumaterialet  har  bearbetats  med  hjälp  av  kvalitativ  innehållsanalys. Studien pågick under åren 2009-2010.

The main purpose is to illuminate how a company links certain values to its brand in an effort to achieve a competitive position. We have done this by studying the government owned company Svenska Spel and its entrance on the netpokermarket. With Corporate Social Responsibility as a guidance for the company they wanted to offer Swedish gamblers an alternative to the, often morally dubious, international actors. Our thesis has taken an internal (corporate) as well as an external (consumer) perspective on the result of this strive. Our conclusions are that although Svenska Spel is successfully integrating social responsibility into their netpokerbusiness, they are facing a difficulty in making the consumer fully appreciate it.

Aim: To investigate the quality of life and the social life situation, with special focus on the consequenses of fear of hypoglycemia (FoH), in Islet transplanted patients.Method: 11 patients were included, four women and seven men, who have been Islet tranplanted at Uppsala University Hospital during the years 2001-2009. Two questionaires, Short Form 36 (SF-36) and the Swedish version Hypoglycemia Fear Survey (Swe-HFS) were used to investigate the quality of life, in relation to fear of hypoglycemia. Also, telephone interviews were conducted to investigate the patients social life situation in relation to FoH, after Islet transplantation and were analysed using content analysis method.Results: The mean value for quality of life was lower than that in the normal population. Three out of ten patients experienced FoH. Three predominant themes were revealed, one theme associated with pre- transplant, was ?Struggle for control of Social Life Situation? and two themes associated with post-transplant, were ?Regain power and controll of  Social Life Situation? and ?At Peace with the balance between the Present and the Future?.Conclusion: The patients experienced improved control over social life situation and quality of life in relation to FoH may been improved following islet tranplantation..

Tillhörighet och att få vara en del av ett socialt sammanhang är nödvändigt för oss människor. Social exkludering utgör ett hot mot individens välbefinnande och har visats påverka individens beteende och åsikter. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om människor är mer intoleranta mot personer de inte känner tillhörighet med, om social exkludering leder till en ännu mer intolerant hållning samt om individens behov av tillhörighet påverkar hur de mår vid social exkludering. I studien deltog 26 studenter varav hälften blev exkluderade under ett datorspel. Deltagarna svarade på enkäter om hur de mådde, åsiktsfrågor och deras behov av tillhörighet.

Syftet med undersökningen var att se om det finns arbets- konflikter inom vården och hur män klarar av att hantera dessa eller om det fanns andra problem som var av något värde i dagens samhälle. Jag har tidigare arbetat med vård i ca 2 års tid. Mitt arbete med intervjuer utfördes i tre olika städer i södra Sverige under hösten 2006. Min frågeställning är i projektet: ?Hur hanterar män konfliktsituationer inom vården??.

In this essay I investigate how the Roman colonization (around 50 BC to 400 AD) affected the Celtic religion. I inquire which operators that were behind these changes and under what circumstances they happened. I take a closer look on three places in Gaul and one place and one area in Britain. In my study of these places I see that it was the elite of the Celtic societies who together and under pressure from Rome made these changes. The religion and gods did not change; instead the ritual ceremonies changed to fit into something that Rome thought was right.
