Different studies have shown that somewhere between 10 000 and 75 000 persons live in Sweden as undocumented migrants. They are not entitled to basic human and social rights such as access to health care on the same basis as persons holding a residence permit in Sweden. Undocumented migrants are often exploited as workers in the informal economy and they are not allowed to organize in unions. The Swedish Social Services is by law bound to care for all people living in Sweden, though in reality undocumented migrants are excluded from benefits and efforts granted by the Social Services. Our aim with the study has been to investigate the situation of undocumented migrants in Sweden and in relation to Social Services.

We have chosen to examine two fields of work in the same organization to be able to see possible similarities and dissimilarities that occur in the same organization.In our studies at B ?level we examined the use of critical reflection, using social workers that just gotten their degree and that were out working on their first job.

Syftet med denna undersökning är att studera hur konsulter i ett givet bemanningsföretag upplever sin psykosociala arbetsmiljö. För att svara på detta har vi valt att utgå från vedertagna teorier om ämnet.

Vi har även tagit med teorier om flexibilitet och tillgänglighet. För att få fram ett resultat har vi använt oss av en kvalitativ metod med intervjuer.

Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to describe the social media usage of five European official national tourism organizations (NTO). The essay proceeds to discuss and evaluate the findings, whilst reflecting on the advantages of social media usage from the point of view of an official national tourism organization.Method: The authors used three different methods of research: one structured observation to study the national tourism organizations? everyday work in social media, one field stimulation to study if and how different NTO respond if a prospective visitor makes them a direct question via social media and finally an email interview to gain insight into NTO?s underlying strategies and policies about social media usage.Theoretical framework: The theories that have been used in this paper include the Uses and gratifications model, theories of one-way and multi-way communication, theories of social media and relationship marketing.Conclusion: By making use of social media the company releases some of its control to the customers as the latter can express their opinions freely in this type of media. One of the advantages of social media is that the platform favors dialogue and feedback. Social media can be used for traditional one-way communication, but works best as a supplement to the regular marketing activities, allowing the activities on social media platforms to focus on branding and building long-term customer relationships.

Titel: Läsarnyheten ? i mediernas kontroll: En studie om hur läsarnyheten kan bidra till interaktiviteten på nättidningarFörfattare: Moa VennergrundUppdragsgivare: DagspresskollegietKurs: Examensarbete i Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid institutionen för journalistik, medier och kommunikation, Göteborgs universitet.Termin: Vårterminen 2010Handledare: Jonas OhlssonSidantal: 60 inklusive bilagorSyfte: På vilket sätt bidrar läsarnyheten till interaktivitet på svenska nättidningar?Metod: Kvantitativ innehållsanalysMaterial: Svenska nättidningar 2010Huvudresultat: Mina resultat visar att läsarnyhetsfunktionen skapar liten interaktion på nättidningar. Läsarnas deltagande i att läsa och skriva försvåras genom att läsarnyhetsfunktionen är svår att hitta. För att delta med sin nyhet ställs krav på läsaren och på så sätt kontrollerar nättidningarna läsaren i sin interaktion. Få nättidningar som har läsarnyhetsfunktionen har kommentarfunktioner kopplade till läsarnyheten vilket gör att tvåvägskommunikation försvåras.

Redovisningen av de indirekta kostnaderna vid högskolor och universitet har kritiserats av Riksrevisionen och externa finansiärer under många år. I november 2007 rekommenderade Sveriges universitets- och högskoleförbund (SUHF) landets universitet och högskolor att införa en ny redovisningsmodell som SUHF hade tagit fram. Flera lärosäten har infört modellen sedan dess. Men hur har det gått?Syftet med denna studie var att ta reda på det och beskriva effekterna av modellen, särskilt med tanke på intern styrning och kontroll.

There is a known link between relative deprivation and street crime among market liberal countries. Although some research has been done with cross-national data, there is none to suggest that the observed link is as valid in a country well known for its extended welfare and generous social expenditure like Sweden. The following study uses longitudinal data to see if this recognized link between relative deprivation and street crime also stands in a country with almost a century long tradition of striving for social-, economic- and cultural equality. Even though Sweden, over the last decade, has been subjected to a series of deregulations due to policy changes at national level, and with a following rise in inequality, it is still considered to be one of the most equal countries in the west. It is therefore not unlikely that the high degree of social security will reduce the negative impact of relative deprivation on social relations among its citizens, perhaps enough so that the correlation will be significantly weakened.
