Studiens syfte har varit att undersöka huruvida individer som vĂ€ljer att utbilda sig i en kommunikationsmodell upplever förĂ€ndring i interaktion med andra mĂ€nniskor efter avslutad utbildning. Studien Ă€r kvalitativ och grundar sig pĂ„ en hermeneutisk forskningsansats vilket innebĂ€r att vi har tolkat nĂ„gra individers upplevelser av sin utbildning i Nonviolent Communication (NVC), bĂ„de före, under och efter utbildningen. Vi har anvĂ€nt oss av semistrukturerade intervjuer med en man och Ă„tta kvinnor. Åldern pĂ„ respondenterna har varierat och de har arbetat eller arbetar inom olika sociala yrken.I tolkningen av det empiriska materialet spelar Randall Collins begrepp interaktionsritualer en viktig roll i tydningen av utbildningstillfĂ€llets betydelse för respondenterna. Moira Von Wrights tolkning av George Herbert Meads olika begrepp Ă€r vĂ„r andra huvudteori, och den blir relevant i förhĂ„llande till den perspektivvĂ€xling som mĂ„nga av respondenterna beskriver att de upplevt efter utbildningen.

The title of this study came about from the title of Robert Putnams book Bowling Alone, where Putnam mentions that less people are bowling in teams than before. Bowling is still a large leisure activity in the USA but people tend to bowl more and more in small groups and less in organized teams. This study deals with social capital and leisure time. Its aim is to find out if some Swedish people create social capital on their leisure time and also how do they spend their leisure time. Robert Putnams book Bowling Alone serves as main background material along with the work by Bo Rothstein.

The purpose of this report is to analyze and evaluate non-profit organizations way of working with social media within the organization, from a marketing perspective. We have made observations of three organizations and completed a series of interviews with representatives within the organizations.In the report we came up with five factors that are necessary for non-profit organizations in order to receive long term donations with the use of social media; Trust, awareness, involvement, interaction and Word of mouth marketing.Our result shows that the organizations have realized the potential and benefits of using social media, but have not come very far in the process of using it properly. Our conclusion is that social media can give assumptions for long term donations, if the organizations use a customer perspective and give their customers added value..

Internet - and the website - has developed into an essential key for the relationship between enterprises and its customers. Today, a website might be the first or only impression a customer gets of a company. With this in mind we have focused our study on customer evaluations on websites. Social presence and its impact on people have so far mostly been given attention in the research of behavior in physical environments. However, in the electronic marketplace this has so far been overlooked, which is why our aim is to study how the presence of visitors impacts other visitors on the same website.

Abstract.

I allt fr?n kommuners styrande dokument till pedagogiska forum p? n?tet via kommersiella produkter och en uppsj? av studentuppsatser i universitetens databaser upplever vi att intresset f?r anv?ndning av Alternativ och kompletterande kommunikation, AKK, och d? fr?mst visuellt st?d, har ?kat markant de senaste ?ren. AKK har g?tt fr?n att vara ett kommunikations-verktyg fr?mst riktat till enskilda barn med funktionsvariationer till ett kommunikationsverktyg som numera anv?nds alltmer frekvent, som en del i den tydligg?rande l?rmilj?n, framf?r allt i f?rskolan. Samtidigt upplever vi att det saknas forskning om AKK inom det pedagogiska f?ltet och framf?r allt i relation till f?rskolan.

Occasionally the views of medicine and social sciences can collide. Doctors typically relate to a explanatory biological model, and social workers and psychologists seek social and historical reasons for neuropsychological diagnoses.A diagnosis is an obligation for medical doctors as well as other professionals within Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and a neuropsychological diagnosis is a prerequisite for treatment and more often than not for other forms of support from society.The aim of this study is to examine the function of a neuropsychological diagnosis with regards to the individual patient, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and society. A second aim was to examine how psychologists and social workers trained in the social sciences view neuropsychological diagnoses.Qualitative interview research methods have been used. Most of the interviews were recorded and transcribed in their entirety. The data has been organised into appropriate categories and the most relevant quotes have been selected.

Corporate Social Responsibility has been defined as the responsibility towards stakeholders and the society in whole and the expression was founded in the 1950ÂŽs. Reporting in corporate social responsibility has been termed corporate social disclosure and has been divided into three areas: environment, ethics and human resources. The aim of this study is to explain variations in corporate social disclosure and the different media used by corporations to communicate these disclosures. A survey was conducted, which included all Swedish corporations listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, and all public-owned corporations. The results show that corporate characteristics such as size, industry and profitability can explain some of the variation in social disclosures and also have an effect on the extent and variation of the media used.

The study shows that the organization through high availability, openness, knowledge of the needs of young people, good treatment, range of meaningful activities, has created a great venue for the young to develop and thus regain their place in the society..

Kan man kÀnna, smaka, lukta, höra ett starkt varumÀrke? Eller kan man bara se det?Vi ville veta och bestÀmde oss för att ta reda pÄ det, och det Àr resultatet du nu har i din hand.Vi har genom intervjuer med tre stora butikskedjor och dess butikschefer försökt fÄ en klarare bild om hur de arbetar med det relativt nya sÀttet att marknadsföra sig pÄ, genom sinnesmarknadsföring. Vi har genomfört flera observationer i och runtomkring de valda butikerna och bildat oss en bra uppfattning om hur respektive butik anvÀnder sig av sinnesmarknadsföring-medvetet eller omedvetet.I takt med att konsumenternas krav pÄ upplevelser ökar och fler butiker etablerar sig pÄ marknaden blir det alltmer viktigt att skapa ett varumÀrke som kunden hela tiden har i sitt medvetande, det finns bara ett sÀtt och det Àr att vara kundens första val. För att nÄ dagens krÀsna konsumenter gÀller det att butikerna marknadsför sina varumÀrken, och det har man sett inte helt rÀcker till, vilket har medfört att nya grenar inom marknadsföringen tillkommit, sinnesmarknadsföring. Begreppet Àr relativt nytt i Sverige och syftar till att skapa ett emotionellt band mellan konsument och varumÀrke.

Syftet Àr att fÄ insikt i vad som motiverar företag till att anvÀnda Social CRM, och hur de arbetar med detta för att kommunicera med sina kunder med hjÀlp av sociala nÀtverk. En kvalitativ ansats har anvÀnts dÀr tre företag inom olika branscher har blivit intervjuade; Röda Korset, Komplett ASA och Ving Sverige AB. Intervjuer har genomförts med tvÄ olika personer pÄ varje företag. Studien visar att företag som Àr verksamma i Sverige har börjat anamma de möjligheter som arbetet med Social CRM i sociala medier innebÀr. De möjligheter företagen tar upp Àr att de kan nÄ en större mÄlgrupp pÄ ett mer kostnadseffektivt sÀtt, underlÀtta dialoger och skapa en informell och personlig kontakt vilket kan leda till ökad varumÀrkeslojalitet och vÀrdefulla konkurrensfördelar.
