Photography has long been of importance for humans in aspects of community, sharing and documenting. It has previously only existed in analogue format and with larger cameras. We have presently reached a new generation of cameras and photography. The new smaller compact cameras that are provided with most cellular phones take digital images of varying quality and accounts for a large part of photography. With the emergence of social media, photography and social interaction combined came photo applications with different features.

AbstractWorking with child and youth welfare is one of the most difficult challenges a social worker might face in the field of social work. Those who work with child and youth welfare are more exposed to stress and burnout than other comparable human service occupations. Research links the prevalence of stress and burnout to several key variables, such as demographics, working conditions and personality factors. In contrast, even though social workers in this field face many negative work-related problems they report a high job satisfaction. The aim of this study is to examine how uplifting and straining experiences affect social workers, who work with child and youth welfare, through the use of The Critical Incident Technique and interviews.

The purpose of this paper was to study the various organisations that work with drug abusing homeless people in Lund. We have tried to compare the possibilities they have to change the way the homeless people look at themselves. The organisations that we have studied are Aluma, Diakonicentralen, the shelter Piletorp and the social welfare office.The methods used to collect data were interviews with professionals and homeless people as well as reading literature. We have used Ted Goldberg's (docent in social work at the university in Stockholm) theory. He writes that you have to be a significant other to persons with deviant behaviour to be able to help them become a part of the society and to change the way they look at themselves.

Syftet med vår undersökning var att undersöka hur andraspråksundervisningen kan organiseras och vilka hinder respektive möjligheter vald organisation kan få för eleverna. Vi har genom kvalitativa intervjuer med två rektorer på olika skolor försökt synliggöra hur andraspråksundervisning kan organiseras och vilka tankar som ligger till grund för dessa val. Det resultatet visade är att när antalet andraspråkselever på en skola uppgår till nästan 100 % blir det svårt att bortse från ett andraspråksperspektiv i verksamheten. I vår undersökning framkommer en medvetenhet hos våra informanter om både vad det innebär och om vad som krävs för att lära sig ett andraspråk. Däremot är det inte alltid så att det som krävs går att förverkliga inom ramen för skolans resurser och då blir skolans tuffa uppgift att organisera sig efter de möjligheter som finns.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate, analyse and interpret the educational ideals of the ABF (Workers Educational Association) as they are understood by five members within ABF. The paper also examines how the educational ideals are represented in the national guidelines and statues of the ABF. The basic theoretical perspectives are intercultural theory and theories about Bildung and adult liberal education in a multi-cultural pedagogical environment presented by Bernt Gustavsson and Hans Lorentz respectively.The empirical study consists of five semi-structured interviews and a text study of the official documents of the ABF. The data is interpreted with hermeneutic and semiotic tools. Organisational theory focusing on organizational culture has also contributed to the study.The result of the study, when analysed in accordance to the methods, shows mainly four things.

The purpose with this essay is to describe how the principal, social worker and the teacher work to prevent bullying at school. The following questions have been discussed:Does the school have an action plan for bullying, and if so, what does it say? Who has the practical responsibility for making sure that the plan is followed, and how does that responsibility work? How is the responsibility divided between the different professions? Are the children in any way active in the planning of the work against bullying? What does the children think about who has the main responsibility for stopping bullying?The method I have used in the essay is individual interviews with principals, welfare officers and teachers from two schools.My results show that the schools have different ways of handling bullying, and different forms of cooperation within the staff. One school have active students in the work against bullying in the form of classmate support (kamratstödjare). The social worker is used in different ways in the work against bullying.

Problem och syfteOrganisationer's interkommunikation är idag viktigare än någonsin och detta vetorganisationer och företag själva om. Det satsa's mer och mer på professionella resurser somska ta hand om informationen inom företaget. Ändå klagar medarbetarna på att informationenär bristfällig. Vad beror detta på? Med utgångspunkt från detta är vårt syfte att undersöka huren organisation kan optimera den interna kommunikationen med hänsyn till medarbetarna'suppfattning.MetodMed hjälp av samtalsintervjuer har vi intervjuat olika medarbetare på olika arbetsplatser omdera's syn på internkommunikationen på respektive arbetsplat's.

Ett projekt definieras ofta som en tillfällig organisation som upplöses när målen är uppfyllda. När projektet avslutats splittras projektgruppen och den kunskap de införskaffat under projektets gång. För att kunskapen inte ska gå förlorad är det viktigt att ta till vara på denna kunskap och föra den vidare till nästkommande projekt. Genom att återkoppla gamla projekt med nya kan man lära av historien och bli en mer effektiv organisation.En effektiv organisation är en lönsam organisation och därför är det troligt att ett vinstdrivet projektbaserat företag satsar stora resurser på projektutveckling och återkoppling. Detta till skillnad från en statlig myndighet som styrs av strikta riktlinjer och tydligt avgränsade resurser.

The aim of this study was to compare educational systems in Sweden, Czech Republic, Italy and Scotland. In the light of the Bologna Declaration signed in 1999, I was particularly interested in comparing social work educations in these four countries. Especially to clarify how far they have come to fulfill the goals of the common European educational policy.Central questions asked were: How do the educational systems look like in each of the four countries? How are the social work educations organized in each of them? In what ways do the social work educations differ? How can we explain such differences?Each country in this study represents a different welfare regime, and therefore I was challenged to find out if this has an impact on the implementation of the incentives of the Bologna Declaration. By studying various documents from the European Union, documents from each country and presentations of various social work programmes, I have come to the conclusion that the differences found mainly depends on the historical and socioeconomic traditions in the countries.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att ge en forskningsöversikt kring begreppet social sårbarhet i relation till naturkatastrofer i allmänhet. Sårbarhet i relation till naturkatastrofer har kartlagts och studerats vetenskapligt under en kortare period, medan social sårbarhet, som är en undergrupp till sårbarhetsfältet, har studerats förhållandevis lite. Genom att ta reda på vilka människor/grupper av människor som är mest utsatta för naturkatastrofer finns det en möjlighet för beslutsfattare att fatta välgrundade beslut om var förebyggande insatser bör göras, såväl som akuta insatser i händelse av en naturkatastrof. Tanken är att denna uppsats skall ligga till grund för en lokal studie 2009-2010 av social sårbarhet i en utvald kommun vid Vänerns strand. Vänern är som känt hotad av ökad översvämningsrisk i samband med klimatförändringar och vikten av att undersöka social sårbarhet där är stor.

The purpose of this study is to highlight the situation for youths leaving foster care and entering adult life. The study examines the services provided by the social service in the Stockholm area when a youth is leaving foster care, and if a recent change in the legislation has had any impact on the operating procedures of the social service. The study includes interviews with youths who recently left foster care, as well as information collected from social service offices through a survey, supplemented by interviews with practicing social workers. All the assembled data have been analyzed using Ecological Systems theory with focus on the child perspective and the term significant others. The study shows that the respondent youth have trouble identifying the formal ending with social services, as well as the support they received or were offered.

Mellanchefspositionen beskrivs ofta som en utsatt position, de sitter mitt emellan ledningens och de anställdas krav och förväntningar. Syftet med uppsatsen är att se vilka likheter och skillnader det finns i synen på mellanchefen och dess roll mellan över- och underordnade inom en organisation. Ett delsyfte är att se vad dessa likheter och skillnader innebär för mellanchefen och hans eller hennes arbetssituation. Det finns en mängd forskning inom ledarskap, i beskrivningen av tidigare forskning berörs främst Brigitta Ahltorps avhandling ?Ledarskap ur ett ledningsperspektiv? som syftar till att beskriva hur chefer ser på sig själva och hur deras medarbetare ser på dem.

The purpose of this study is to identify and make attitudes among social workers towards homosexual and bisexual people visible, examine how these attitudes relate to their actions in their professional role and how these attitudes and actions can be understood by theories of heteronormativity and power. The study is a cross-sectional quantitative survey in the form of a questionnaire completed by social workers. The result shows that there are two groups among the social workers. One larger group that reproduces a norm of acceptance toward homosexual and bisexual people and one smaller that reproduces a heterosexual norm. This reproduction of heteronormativity increases the risk for homosexual and bisexual people to be made invisible and treated more negatively in contact with social workers, which in turn can lead to worse health among the clients..
