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.

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.

As commonly known, Social Media is a rapidly growing area. Since consumers to a great extent are present in Social Media, this new internet environment is increasing in relevance for consumer marketing. For controversial brands that are regulated in conventional marketing channels Social Media is an extra ordinary marketing opportunity, since social media is a legal grey area. More and more controversial brands are taking advantage of this opportunity, but the effects of these marketing activities are fairly unknown. Therefore there is an interest in examining the controversial brands marketing progression in Social Media.

In this study I have explored the profession sales people and how they use social media. I have also studied their needs for further education and how it can be addressed in social media, in order to learn how a B2B-company that educates in sales training can meet sales people in social media. It?s an empirical study based on individual interviews with a semi-structured interview template. Respondents were of mixed age, both men and women.

Organizations over the world increasingly start to realize the possibilities of the use of a social intranet, also known as Enterprise 2.0. The social intranets can be used to collaborate and communicate with colleagues in the workplace. Both Cook (2008) and Coope (Barnett, 2011) say that Enterprise 2.0 is about to fundamentally change the way organizations communicate. But do companies know how these tools can be used?The study emanates from three questions:How can social intranets be used in business?How can internal communication and collaboration get easier through the use of a social intranet?What are the possible risks with the use of social intranets?In this study we have in a qualitative manner been interviewing two companies that currently use social intranets in their daily activities ? Securitas and Skåneme-jerier.

År 2006 började en skarp nedgång av huspriserna på den amerikanska bomarknaden, efter flera års stadiga ökningar, och man talade om en bubbla på husmarknaden. Det grundade sig i att folk trodde på kontinuerliga ökningar av huspriserna. Effekterna spred sig sedan till andra delar i den amerikanska ekonomin och hela världens börser påverkades av denna nedgång. I uppsatsen framkommer det att många olika aktörer bär på skulden för denna utveckling och gemensamt för dessa är att de alla varit överoptimistiska.Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka varför husbubblan uppkom och hur den kunde få sådan global verkan samt vilka eller vad som bär på skulden. Detta görs med hjälp av data från sekundära källor såsom artiklar och databaser..

Sedan helikopterns introduktion har den använts på en olika sätt i många olika militäroperationer. Dess unika egenskaper gör den till en bra vapenplattform. Trots detta har dess roller inom modern krigföring aldrig riktigt definierats. Studien syftar till att ta reda på vilka roller helikoptern kan ha inom manöverkrigföring. Detta görs genom att analysera manöverkrigföringens utmärkande drag mot helikopterns utmärkande drag.

The main purpose of the study was to analyse the well being of children placed in foster care for at least two years, in one sample municipality. An assessment was made of how the social service admistrated and took responsibility for these children in terms of schooling, physical and mental health. To further understand the situation of the children three areas of investigation were added concerning; teenage pregnancy, the mental health and mortality of the biological parents. To receive answers to those questions a qualitative interview method was used, with structured questions to social workers working with foster care. The author also studied journal notes and child investigations to receive a more comprehensive picture.

This master thesis is based on a general issue of quality in social services. I have chosen to illustrate through an empirical case, namely the position social responsibility coordinator and shortened SAS.This position is fairly new to the Swedish social services and has the overall mandate to monitor, develop and ensure quality.To study this, I have developed two analytic schemes. One is based on the concept of quality value components, the second is based on the concept of quality character components. These analytical schemes are used as the presented material. When I study mycase, I have used two methods, documents and questionnaires.In this study I will try to describe how new solutions to improve the quality of social services can conform and develop.

Miljo?debatten blossade upp pa? allvar under 1980-talet. Detta skapade en o?kad medvetenhet bland samha?llets medborgare att miljo?fo?rsto?ringen kommer bli ett problem i framtiden. Forskare menar att innovation a?r en av de viktigaste drivkrafterna fo?r ekonomin och att innovation a?r viktigt fo?r att kunna lo?sa de miljo?problem som lysts upp i va?rlden.

Author: Johanna Jarl and Marie WestphalTitle: Co-operation and Collaboration The Social services and Child- and adolescence psychiatry joined action [Translated title]Supervisor: Mikael SandgrenExaminer: Torbjörn HjortChildren and adolescences that have both psychological and social problems is an increasing number of the society. It used to be a demand that Social workers and personnel at Child and adolescence psychiatry had interdisciplinary collaboration, today it is more then a demand it is a requirement. The aim of this study was to understand how the personnel at the Social services and Child and adolescence psychiatry look at the cooperation between the two organizations in Sweden.To be able to accomplish this study we have interviewed four persons employed at the Social services and three persons employed at Child- and adolescencepsychiatry all of them were interviewed individually. To be able to analyze our material from the interviews we have used new institutional organization theory and Goffmans dramaturgic perspective at teams. The interviews showed that there is collaboration between the organizations on all levels, but that the organizations have different priorities.

The main purpose is to illuminate how a company links certain values to its brand in an effort to achieve a competitive position. We have done this by studying the government owned company Svenska Spel and its entrance on the netpokermarket. With Corporate Social Responsibility as a guidance for the company they wanted to offer Swedish gamblers an alternative to the, often morally dubious, international actors. Our thesis has taken an internal (corporate) as well as an external (consumer) perspective on the result of this strive. Our conclusions are that although Svenska Spel is successfully integrating social responsibility into their netpokerbusiness, they are facing a difficulty in making the consumer fully appreciate it.

Syftet för uppsatsen har varit att undersöka i vilken utsträckning sambandet mellan socioekonomisk status och ohälsa hos den äldre populationen beror på de arbetsförhållanden de haft under de yrkesverksamma åren. Vi har för detta ändamål genomfört analyser med hjälp av ordinala logistiska regressioner där vi kontrollerat den fysiska och psykiska arbetsmiljöns inverkan på sambandet mellan två mått av socioekonomisk status och sex olika ohälsoutfall. De olika ohälsoutfallen har baserats på ett befintligt datamaterial från den nationellt representativa Undersökningen om äldres levnadsvillkor (SWEOLD) som genomförts åren 1992, 2002 och 2004. Bakgrundsinformationen avseende socioekonomisk status och arbetsmiljöförhållanden har hämtats från den nationellt representativa Levnadsnivå-undersökningen (LNU) från åren 1968 och 1981.  Kombinationen av de två har möjliggjort för longitudinella studier, vilket innebär att vi kunnat följa respondenterna över tid - från tiden de varit yrkesverksamma till pensionsålder. Av studiens analyser framkom att de starkaste effekterna uppvisades när vi kontrollerade för den fysiska arbetsmiljöns verkan på sambandet mellan måtten på socioekonomisk status och de två ohälsoutfallen rörelsesmärta och fysisk funktionsnedsättning.

Denna undersökning syftar till att undersöka några lärares syn på social kompetens och hur de arbetar med det. Enligt forskning har akademisk kompetens och social kompetens en ömsesidig påverkan på utvecklandet av varandra. Forskningen är dock övervägande till fördel för att social kompetens är en förutsättning för lärande. Detta utgår även läroplanen från i och med dess prägling av det sociokulturella perspektivet. Sex lärare intervjuades angående deras syn på begreppet, hur de arbetar med det och vilken betydelse det har för lärandet.
