Our main purpose has been to describe and compare two community's ways of organising and executing the social welfare sectors drug and alcohol abuse programs. We also wanted to explain the similarities and differences we found with the help of an organisations theoretical perspective. A second purpose has been to try to find out if the difference affects the clients possibility to receive equal care.To find out how the community's organise and execute their drug and alcohol programs, we interviewed two social workers in leading positions in Landskrona and Ängelholm. We have further more, to find out if the differences we found influencing the clients possibility to recieve equal care, completed an inquiry with fictional cases that all of the involved social workers, at each community, built an opinion upon.Our main result showed more simmularities than differences in our two community's ways of organasing and executing their drug and alcohol programs. We judged the clients possibility to adequate care to be equally sufficient no matter where he sought care, since our study showed that the social workers choice of approach did not differ significantly between the two communities, even though we found differences in their way to organise and execute the social welfare sectors drug and alcohol abuse programs..

Motivation is a key factor in sustaining a healthy and active lifestyle, and technology has afforded us new methods for attaining information concerning exercise and health. This paper aims to examine how social media can motivate individuals to obtain and maintain an active and healthy lifestyle, as well as identify which particular social media channels are preferred for this purpose. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used as data collection in this research. The results of this report show that images and text shared on social media, as well as the communication therein, can function as motivation for individuals to commence and maintain a regular physical activity and health regimen. Additionally, an individual?s sharing of their own training and health routine is enough to motivate the person in question to sustain their training and health procedure.

Syftet med detta arbete är att ge byggföretaget NCC ett underlag för hur kommunerna runt Vänern och längs Göta älv planerar inför den nya dimensionerande vattennivån på + 47,4 m (RH70) som klimat- och sårbarhetsutredningen presenterat i sin rapport.Vänerns medelvattenstånd ligger i dag på + 44,3 m (RH70). Under en 100-årsperiod är det 1% risk att den dimensionerande nivån uppkommer. Enligt klimat- och sårbarhetsutredningen är det alltså möjligt att vattennivån kan stiga med ca tre m vid ett extremfall. Detta kan medföra en rad olika konsekvenser för kommunerna runt Vänern och längs Göta älv. NCC är intresserade av att få kännedom om de åtgärder som kommunerna planerar att vidta för att skydda ny och befintlig bebyggelse mot översvämningar och skred till följd av högre vattennivåer.

The aim with this study has been to examine and to analyze the discourse of Rosengård in Swedish media. With the concept of discourse is meant here specific ways to speak about and to understand the world, or a part of it. In order to reach increased understanding regarding media presentations and constructions of Rosengård, I have done a study about how Rosengård has been presented in the Swedish daily and evening press during the violent acts that took place in Rosengård in the spring and summer of 2008, when youths regarding to media put cars and containers on fire, and also threw stones at fire engines and other emergency service vehicles when these had to turn out to put out the fires. The collected data, containing newspaper articles, has been analyzed on the basis of the critical discourse analysis, CDA, which is a mould of a textanalytical method.

The purpose with this work is to describe the language that is built around the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in Sweden. Our questions are: What does the professional field look like; who writes, about what and for which kind of readers? How do they describe the expressions and the upcoming of CFS? For which reasons can CFS be considered as a medical diagnosis/illness? How can CFS be understood from a social perspective? Our theoretical starting point is a social constructive theory and also Karin Johannisson's theory about medicalization and Foucault?s theory about power. We have from a literature-exposition of Swedish articles from 1989 to 2006, done a social constructive discourse analysis with help from Laclau & Mouffe's discourse theory, and Fairclough's model of social practices. In our textual analysis we found three dominating discourses: A medical discourse, a social/cultural discourse and a general/popular discourse.

Denna tvärsnittsstudie syftade till att undersöka samförekomst av smärtrelaterad rädsla och social ångest i ett kliniskt sample med kronisk smärtproblematik. Syftet var också att beskriva och kontrastera samvariation av transdiagnostiska faktorer i eventuella subgrupper. Datan bestod av enkätsvar från 196 deltagare i Social ångest smärta-projektet som leds av Örebro universitet och Akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala. En klusteranalys fick fram fyra subgrupper bland deltagarna. En subgrupp utmärkte sig för hög komorbiditet.

Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva hur ett företag på ett framgångsrikt sätt kan ha ett fungerande system för kunskapsöverföring genom en stark kontroll från huvudkontoret. Detta är en fallstudie på ett företags kunskapsöverföring mellan huvudkontor och filialer, där den traditionella agencyteorin och den moderna resursbaserade forskningen testas. Fallföretagets styrka i kunskapsöverföringen är social kontroll som leder till en stark sammanhållning och öppenhet i kommunikationen samt låg förekomst av hierarkiska hinder. Studien är begränsad till ett företags kunskapsöverföring mellan huvudkontor och filial och kan därför inte helt generaliseras. I studien framkommer att kombinationen av finansiell- och social kontroll är ett bra verktyg för en framgångsrik kunskapsöverföring mellan huvudkontor och filial..

The popularity of video games has been boosted by the rise of user-generated live streaming platforms, and the biggest of them all is Twitch.
