How has the children?s point of view been reported in the inquiry? A child needs a well organized everyday life in a preferably conflict free environment.

Företagspolicy påverkar rekryterarens val av nya medarbetare. Detta undersöktes i en experimentell studie där 120 studenter vid Lunds universitet deltog. Hälften fick ta del av en platsannons som var antingen rättviseinriktad eller lojalitetsinriktad. Därefter fick de skatta värme- respektive kompetensfrågors lämplighet för en intervjusituation i förhållande till tjänsten. Sista steget i enkäten innehöll tre fiktiva cv:n som varierade kompetens i relation med utländskt/ svenskt namn.

Purpose The purpose is to analyze the parliamentary parties political communication in the social media channels before the election 2010.Methodology This essay is a descriptive study from nine interviews of the responsible people in the parliamentary parties.

The purpose is to illustrate the phenomenon of self-harm from a social psychological and sociological perspective. The purpose is furthermore to examine the role social relationships play in the individuals´ self- imagine and what role does identification play for anyone who harm themselves? We want to examine in what way social relationships are important and how they function for individuals who harm themselves, both once they have started to harm themselves, and if the relationships in any part caused the cutting to begin with.Questions:How do individuals shape their identity based on self- harm? Which self-image do individuals have who self-harm? Is there anything in the person's previous social relationships that have caused them to begin to hurt themselves?Method:In this paper we have analyzed five autobiographies. We have used open coding from grounded theory as analytical method and subject positions based on discourse analysis.Theory:We have used the Cooley concepts looking glass self, Foucault's theory of power, Giddens' concept of ontological security and existential anxiety.Results and Analysis:We found six different categories that we thought were central. These were negative self-image, guilt, lack of family support, negative experiences of others' views, the protective identity as self- harmer and insecure social relationships in school.Conclusion:The self-harming is a very complex behavior.

AbstractIT can facilitate communication among individuals and connect people across geographical distances. On the contrary, citizens of the society who do not use communication technologies to some extent might feel excluded from the information society. As elderly citizens are already in a vulnerable position for the digital divide, communication technology becomes an important tool for interacting with friends and family. The social situation of elderly, 60 years of age and older, is a topic of current interest since they are the fastest growing age group in the world today. Further, social interaction becomes more important among elderly since it has a positive effect on well- being.

The purpose is to analyze if the students have any use of their computer education at a senior high school level or if there is a demand for them to proceed studying. Does the students background have any importance or is it their own motivation that makes the student advance to higher education.In this report we ask ourselves the question, if the students have any use of the knowledge gained at senior high school in computer studies at a higher level. Do the students have any chance for employment based on their senior high school grades in computer studies after graduation?  Do the schools that follow the senior high school guidelines within programming and databases give these students an advantage towards those that have not received the same fundamental education?The method used for the survey is a group questionnaire.  The questionnaire was distributed at one and the same time and then collected to examine the results. The survey results showed that students who seek work based only on their senior high school grades, received only a temporary position for different lengths of time.

The purpose of this paper is to study how people without home experience social services and how they experience their space of action when they meet social services. In order to answer these questions, a qualitative approach has been used. The empirical material consists of five interviews with people who have contact with social services because they are homeless. To support my analysis of the space of action for the persons being interviewed, I?ve used two theoretical perspectives, power analysis by Michel Foucault and Rational Choice.

The purpose of this essay was to examine how professional social workers work with follow up foster home placements. The study was based on qualitative interviews with ten professional social workers from different municipalities in Skåne in an attempt to answer the following questions:* What routines exist for the follow-up work with foster care?* What factors have an impact on how the follow-up is formed in the particular case?* How can the follow-up affect outcomes of the placement?* In what way could the work with follow-up foster home placements develop?The theories we chose to analyze our material from was the ecology of human development formed by Urie Bronfenbrenner and the theory of civil courage formed by Lennart Lundquist. The interviews were semi-structural which gave the respondents a chance to talk in a free way about the questions we presented.The result of the study showed that there is a difference in the way social workers form the follow-up work of foster care. The greatest difference is in whom the social workers include in their follow-up.

Syfte: Studien handlar om hur avskaffandet kommer att påverka studenternas inställning till revisionsyrket. Anledningen till att vi valt att sätta studenternas inställning i fokus är för att vi anser att den gruppen inte tillräckligt uppmärksammats i samband med diskussionen kring effekterna av slopandet av revisionsplikten .Metod: Studien grundar sig på en kvantitativ angreppsätt där vi enbart riktat oss mot studenterna som läser andra, tredje och fjärde året och valt att läsa ekonomi med inriktning redovisning. Vi anser att dessa studenter tillför en mer rättvisande bild på inställningen av avskaffandet av revisionsplikten. Vår fallstudie gjorde vi i närbelägna lärosäten kring mellersta Sverige. Vi har valt att presentera vår data med hjälp av diagram och löpande text för att bidra med en ökad förståelse kring utfallen.Resultat & slutsats: Efter att ha analyserat empirin vi fått fram visade det sig att en stor majoritet av studenternas inställning till revisoryrket inte förändrats, att de är minst lika intresserade eller mer intresserade av att bli kvalificerade revisorer.Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Vilka effekterna blev det i och med avskaffandet? En jämförelse kring vad forskningen ansåg innan avskaffandet och hur det såg ut efter.Uppsatsens bidrag: Denna studie bidrar till information som kan vara till nytta för revisionsbyråer som kan dra nytta av hur de bör marknadsföra sig gentemot studenterna nu när det får vetskap om hur studenternas förhållning till yrket kommer att förändras..

Syfte: Vårt syfte med detta arbete är att undersöka hur två stora företag i Gävleborgslän, med betydande del av sin verksamhet på export, hanterar de valutarisker som uppstår. Företagen som vi valt att granska är Sandvik och Korsnäs som båda är tillverkande företag inom industrin.Vi kommer sedan att jämföra hur respektive företag har valt att hantera sina risker och belysa de skillnader och likheter som dessa två företag har i sitt arbete med valutarisker. Slutligen ämnar vi jämföra det empiriskt insamlade materialet med den teoretiska referensram som finns inom det valda ämnet.Metod: Vi har valt att använda oss av en kvalitativ metod när vi insamlat data. Insamlingen har främst skett via samtalsintervjuer på respektive företags huvudkontor. Kompletterande information har insamlats via mejlkontakt med våra respondenter.

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka och synliggöra gymnasieelevers tankar och attityder kring läxans funktion och nytta i kärnämnena. Detta är av intresse då debatten kring läxans för- och nackdelar i huvudsak sker mellan lärare, politiker och föräldrar, utan att man tillfrågar eleverna; de som i allra högsta grad berörs. Studien utgick från 6 frågeställningar, rörande; elevers uppfattningar om läxors för- och nackdelar för deras lärande, genomgång av studieteknik, tid spenderad på läxor, läxornas omfattning samt skillnader dessemellan beroende på gymnasieprogram, kärnämne och kön. Avslutningsvis tillfrågades eleverna om vad de tror att lärare har för intentioner med att ge läxor. Deltagarna var 84 män och kvinnor från tre gymnasieskolor, fördelade på studieförberedande respektive yrkesförberedande gymnasieprogram.

The aim of this study was to develop knowledge about the social workers' importance for unaccompanied children's integration in the Swedish society. In order to investigate this we also have to distinguish other people who are important for the unaccompanied children. The method used in the study is qualitative interviews and we have interviewed four unaccompanied children and three social workers to reach the results. To analyze the results we have used symbolic interactionism and Antonovsky's theory about sence of coherence. The results showed that it is important for unaccompanied children to have access to significant people to integrate and they also have to learn values and attitudes which exist in the society.
