The purpose of this paper is to find more understanding for pupils in compensatory educational situations and get an idea about how they place themselves in the social hierarchy. In my study I have interviewed four pupils with different experiences from school with the common denominator of being placed in a special class during some hours of the week. The purpose of this placement is to get them to achieve better results in various subjects depending on their grade but this also means a social separation from friends in the ordinary class and this doesn't correspond well with the democratic idea of "one school for all".What I found was that these pupils categorize themselves different from each other and while two of the pupils find themselves very included in the school's social network the remaining two had problems functioning satisfactory in a social matter according to their own liking. The feeling of exclusion though can not be connected to their participation in the special class but rather to their earlier social experiences..

This study explores the different effects on attitude and behaviour three frequently used advertising techniques have. The techniques compared are social influence and egoistic and altruistic benefit-appeals. The results showed that ads featuring social influence had statistically significant higher mean values regarding attitude towards the ad compared to both the other ads, and significantly higher mean values regarding brand attitude compared to the ad appealing to egoistic motivations. Though, all advertising effectiveness measures used in this study - that is, attitude and intention variables - indicated that social influence was more effective than the other advertising messages. Thus, in accord with earlier studies, it can be stated with confidence that social influence is an effective tool to use in marketing communications..

The purpose with this study is to enlighten and discuss the information and communication which is spreading through social media, about the tourist operators and also to examine the operators view on social media. Social media can be described as a tool to use word of mouth on the Internet. To make this possible, five actors involved in tourism were picked on Gotland and interviewed for a content analysis. The results showed that the use of social media as an information channel before the consumer buys a trip, has increased. The study also shows that the selected actors have a lot of work to do, before they understand how to use the social media in their best interest for further developing their companies.

This study examines whether social media had an influence on the revolution in Egypt. Social media was an important tool for the revolution since the president Hosni Mubarak and the Egyptian regime strictly controls the media.

Social media facilitated communication, made the mobilization effective and, spread information to the inhabitants and to the rest of the world.

Bakgrund: Anorexia nervosa innebär för en människa svår viktnedgång, som är en konsekvens av dennes rädsla att gå upp i vikt. Omvårdnaden består till stor del av kontrollerad behandling av de fysiska symtomen, vilket kan resultera i en maktkamp då människor med anorexia nervosa inte inser att de behöver hjälp och inte vill bli friska. Detta utmanar skapandet av en vårdrelation. En fungerande vårdrelation är avgörande för patienters tillfrisknande.Syfte: Att beskriva patienters och sjuksköterskors upplevelser av vårdrelationen i omvårdnaden av anorexia nervosa.Metod: Studien är baserad på en kvalitativ litteraturstudie. Informationssökning gjordes via databasen Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, CINAHL.

The aim with the study was, that through a qualitative research approach, to examine in which way social services employees perceive information about children with incarcerated fathers and how they furthermore relates to the child's right to both parents in these situations. Seven interviews were implemented with social workers in the Stockholm County to obtain informa-tion on the following questions; how the children's needs are noticed at the social services, how employees discuss the child's right to their incarcerated father and which possibilities and obstacles social workers experience to promote contact between the child and the father. The ecology of human development theory was used in the analysis. The conclusions are that chil-dren with incarcerated fathers seldom is noticed at the social services as a result of inadequate cooperation between authorities but also due to whether the social services should be respon-sible for the children. Furthermore, children always have the right to maintain contact with their incarcerated father, with exceptions for situations where physical or sexual abuse have occurred.

SAMMANFATTNINGUppsatsen baserar sig på en enkätundersökning som syftar till att undersöka hur lärares arbetstillfredsställelse påverkas av de arbetsförhållanden som råder för lärarna på deras arbetsplatser. Läraryrket är intressant bland annat av den orsaken att det skett många förändringar inom skolans verksamhet i och med övergången till målstyrning, en förändring som fått konsekvenser för lärarna inte minst i form av ett utökat ansvar och mer delaktighet i de skolorganisatoriska frågorna. Undersökningen har gjorts inom Sunne kommun och omfattar samtliga grundskolelärare 1-6 samt fritidspedagoger som är verksamma i både förskolan och grundskolan. Totalt besvarades 79 enkäter av anställda lärare och pedagoger i kommunen där studien utfördes under två veckor i slutet av november 2004. Kategorin som ingår i undersökningen är de som då var tillsvidareanställda grundskolelärare samt fritidspedagoger och som inte på ett eller annat sätt var långtidsfrånvarande.

Senare års skandaler inom näringslivet har allvarligt skadat allmänhetens förtroende för bolagsstyrningen. Som ett svar på detta togs i USA en detaljerad lagstiftning fram, i form av SOX. I Sverige, har som en av de sista länderna i Europa istället arbetats fram en svensk kod för bolagsstyrning. I och med detta har bolagsstyrning och intern kontroll fått ett ökat fokus och tanken är att den finansiella informationen från bolagen skall bli mer tillförlitliga.Syftet med denna rapport är att identifiera förväntade effekter av hur de nya kraven på bolagsstyrning kommer att påverka de externa revisorernas arbete. Speciellt var det gäller samarbetet med internrevisionen och säkerställandet av den finansiella rapporteringen.Vi har valt en kvalitativ metod, med djupintervjuer av semistrukturerad art.
