The purpose of this essay has been to study the different discourses that are expressed in social welfare secretaries? assertions when they assess cases with elements of honour-related violence, intimidation and oppression. To do so I have used a discourse analysis theory and technique, based on three qualitative interviews with social welfare secretaries. The interviews were focused on vignettes, which were all fictitious cases with various elements of honour-related violence. One of the interviews was a focus groupinterview with four participants, while the other two interviews were individual.

Syftet med min studie Àr att problematisera förskollÀrares arbete med och uppfattning om barns emotionella intelligens samt vilka egenskaper som kan frÀmja utvecklingen av denna förmÄga hos förskolebarn. Studiens bakgrund belyser bland annat emotionell intelligens som begrepp, emotionell intelligens i förhÄllande och relevans till förskolans verksamhet samt kÀnslors uppkomst och utveckling ur bÄde ett relationellt och biologiskt perspektiv. Den teoretiska referensramen belyser Bordieu (1977) och Vygotskijs (1978) betydelsen av uppvÀxtvillkoren och den sociala praxis individen ingÄr i vid utveckling av den emotionella kapaciteten. Focaults (2003) maktperspektiv illustrerar hur vÀrden och normer i samhÀllet fungerar som en beteendedisciplinerande maktutövning dÄ individen rÀttar sig i ledet för normaliteten för att undvika utanförskap. Empirin bestÄr av en fokusgruppsintervju med tre förskollÀrare.

The evolution of the media landscape and the introduction of social media have increased thenumber of communication channels tremendously during the last decade. These new channels have also made an impact on the information control, which has shifted focus from organisations to consumers. In order to communicate one coherent image in the numerous existing channels, organisations need to create strategies that take this into account and makes sure the same messages are communicated through all channels. One way to do this is to use integrated marketing communication (IMC). Since the social media is a relatively new phenomenon, there is no clear way of how to include social media into an IMC strategy.

The theses discuss information seeking with a focus on Google and social networks. Students attending the librarian program in Lund have been examined by means of two methods; diaries and information horizons, where they had to solve a specific assignment. The information horizon as a method contributes to getting a structural perspective on the information search process instead of viewing information search as a procedure. Information horizons use social network analysis.The aim of the theses is to investigate the importance of the social network in information search, with a particular focus on Google as a search tool. Our hypothesis is that Google acts as a compensator to the social network when the students search for information and in the educational program.The research indicates that there is no direct correlation between usage of the social network and usage of Google.

Today, youth crime is a topic that recurs daily in the news and politics; the subject arouses motions both within the professional community and among private individuals. The purpose of this study was to shed light on how social workers reason and work with young people aged 15 and above who are in criminal environments. We also shed light on how motivation can contribute to young people accepting the voluntary interventions that social workers have available. The study helps draw attention to the potential challenges that social services face when motivational work is insufficient, and the concern is not sufficiently high to warrant the use of coercive interventions. Our empirical material was collected using semi-structured interviews with social workers who have a degree of Bachelor's degree in Social Work, whose work is to carry out investigations of young people who, due to their own behavior, may be in need of support or protection from social services.

Syftet med uppsatsen Àr dels teoretisk i form av att reda ut begreppet social redovisning samt hur social redovisning och hÄllbarhetsredovisning förhÄller sig till varandra, och dels empirisk dÄ jag Àmnar undersöka huruvida denna redovisningsform bÀttre kan visa en verksamhets effektivitet bÀttre Àn traditionell redovisning dÀr verksamheten har sociala verksamhetsmÄl.

En social redovisning skulle visa KulturAkademins effektivitet bÀttre Àn en traditionell redovisning dÄ den traditionella endast visar ett verksamhets resultat ur en ekonomisk aspekt.
