HÄllbarhet Àr idag en term som figurerar i en mÀngd olika sammanhang och social hÄllbarhet framhÀvs som en viktig del i hÄllbarhetsarbetet bÄde pÄ nationell- och lokal nivÄ. PÄ den lokala nivÄn finns aktörer som stÀder och kommuner vars arbete och visioner för att uppnÄ social hÄllbarhet formuleras i det planmaterial som tas fram bÄde för stadens utveckling, men ocksÄ för mindre enheter som stadsdelar och omrÄden inom stadsdelarna. Idag finns det ocksÄ en möjlighet att anvÀnda sig av miljöcertifieringssystemet Breeam Communities för att certifiera hela stadsdelar efter hur hÄllbara de Àr bÄde avseende ekologisk-, ekonomisk- och social hÄllbarhet efter de krav som certifieringssystemet har. Jag avser i detta arbete undersöka om man kan spÄra social hÄllbarhet genom att studera planmaterial som omfattar Malmö Stad och delar av omrÄdet Masthusen i VÀstra Hamnen, dÄ detta Àr det första omrÄde i Sverige som idag Àr delvis Breeamcertifierat. Arbetet har gjorts utifrÄn frÄgestÀllningen: Hur reflekteras aspekter av social hÄllbarhet genom planprocessen, frÄn översiktsplan och aktualisering, vÀrdeprogram, detaljplans-beskrivning till hÄllbarhetsprogram för certifiering? Huruvida man kan spÄra social hÄllbarhet genom planprocessen har undersökts med metoden att anvÀnda indikatorer för social hÄllbarhet och spÄra deras förekomst i planmaterialet. DÄ en vedertagen definition för begreppet social hÄllbarhet saknas har dessa indikatorer valts ut ur grupper av indikatorer för hÄllbarhet som Statistiska CentralbyrÄn tagit fram.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how social procurement can be a further development of public-private partnership. This is done with interviews and a case study of the social procurement Mitt Gröna Kvarter and its labor effort Boendebyggarna. The theoretical framework used in the thesis consists of public-private partnership and corporate social responsibility. It tries to answer the following questions:What does this social procurement mean by the concept of public-private partnership?What does this social procurement mean for the participants involved?How can social procurement be seen as a further development of public-private partnership?The thesis uses the theory development around the concepts of public-private partnership and corporate social responsibility and shows that social procurement does indeed have similarities to public-private partnership and could very well be a further development of it..

Tail-biting in pigs is an animal welfare issue and in Sweden during 2002 the producers lost tree million Swedish crowns because of tail biting. This economic loss depends on the pigs which are discarded at slaughter because of tail biting. Tail biting can be separated into two stages, "pre-injury" and "injury". The aim of this study is to investigate if tail biting depends on environment or genetic background.A lot of research on the environments effects on the behaviour of pigs but not so much on the genetic effects has been performed. The frequency of tail biting in pig farms influence among others of environment enrichment, ventilation, gender and breed of the pig.

Organic animal husbandry has received a lot of criticism lately. The aim of this literature review was to examine if the rules and principles of organic pig farming give better or worse welfare in comparison to the conventional systems in Sweden. Health, physiology and behaviour have been used as indicators of welfare in this study. This is due to the importance of using more than one indicator in welfare assessments. Studies have shown that organic pigs have more remarks on joints when slaughtered, but these remarks can be reduced by vaccination against erysipelas.

Allt fler konsumenter vÀljer att göra ekologiska val, detta pÄ grund av en ökad medvetenhet samt ett intresse för miljön. Bomull Àr en av de fibrer som anvÀnds mest i klÀder, trots detta sÄ Àr bomullsproduktionen vÀldigt pÄfrestande för miljön. Mycket giftiga kemikalier, konstgödsel samt stora mÀngder vatten anvÀnds vid dessa odlingar. DÄ bomullsodlingar Àr sÄ pass resurskrÀvande mÄste alla klÀdföretag visa sitt engagemang i denna frÄga. Detta kan göras pÄ olika sÀtt, att vÀlja ekologisk bomull framför konventionell bomull Àr dÄ ett steg i riktning dÄ den ekologiska bomullen Àr helt befriad frÄn kemikalier och andra farliga medel.Syftet Àr att denna rapport ska verka som ett underlag för klÀdföretag som i dagslÀget inte anvÀnder sig av ekologisk bomull.

Social phobia is a fear which limits a person's capabilities in daily situations. The fear can be so strong that a person can distance themselves from all social situations, for example education, marriage, sports activities etc. The purpose of this study is to discover whether there are any correlations between social fear and choice of educational program, between social fear and sex, and between social fear and Internet use. Questionnaires were administered to 80 upper secondary pupils. Each questionnaire answer was assigned a certain score, which was then coded in SPSS, the highest scores corresponding to highest degrees of shyness.

The purpose of our study is to get more knowledge about how moral dilemmas affect social workers in their work. This because we find that a big part of social work involves ethic reflections and that is why we find it important for social workers to have knowledge about how they should and can think and act in these situations. Ethic statements exist for social workers to use in their work but we haven?t found any guidelines for concrete situations and that?s why we decided to study this area. Questions we want to answer are how do the social workers define moral dilemmas in social work? How do the social workers deal with moral dilemmas in their work? How do moral dilemmas affect social workers in their work? This is a qualitative study with interviews from seven social workers from one social service office although they are from different units.

In Sweden the social assistance from a historical perspective, has been a part of the social legislation, since the 18th century. In that time called poor relief. Through the centuries this has established the social assistance we have today. With focus on the child, we have attempted to illustrate how the social workers consider the child perspective when they are dealing with the social assistance. We wanted to get a view of how the social worker reasons about needs the children have and how they can see that the benefit has been provided for.

Arbetet Àr utfört dels som en skrivuppgift och dels som en gestaltning som behandlar de praktiska lösningarna i kombination med ett estetiskt vÀrde. Gestaltningsförslaget ingÄr i en internationell tÀvling för studenter som har hÄllbart tÀnkande i fokus.
