This B.Sc. Thesis examines how Swedish Large Cap companies communicate CSR in social media. We describe the current state of CSR communication in four different social media channels, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, and blogs. This research, supported by interviews with stakeholders and a quantitative survey, analyses the potential risks and benefits from communicating CSR via social media and provides concrete advice on the development of a CSR communication strategy for social media. Although some benefits have been realized, many companies have failed to truly reap the potential benefits from an effective social media strategy for CSR.

Today the school is a given place for preventing social problems. The school struggles continuously to live up to the expectations of balancing preventive social work with pedagogy in a satisfactory way.The purpose of this essay is to get a picture of priorities of social work in school. I want to know what it is that affects and controls the principal's decision about what kind of social project they will accept and be a part of.This essay shows that only one of the eleven principals interviewed apply projects based on evidence when they decide about participation in a social project. Instead, the decisions are based on references from other schools. The reason why the principals do not base their judgement on projects which are based on evidence is because they consider the search for results too time consuming.When there is no requirement that a certain part of the social work in a school must be based on evidence, it leads to the children taking part in different social projects which we can not guarantee are good for them.One solution can be to guide the principals through a national social teachingplan, which can assure that social work based on evidence are being applied in the municipality schools as well as the independent schools..

Social control in different forms has existed in all known societies. This control has taken different shapes and expressions. In older smaller communities there was a collective control among the citizens. In modern societies the state is trying to control the lives of the citizens. These control mechanisms can be seen as both freedom-reducing and freedom inducing depending on which concept of freedom one upholds.

Arbetsmarknaden i Sverige har, likt övriga världen, påverkats av den finanskris som inleddes under 2008. Detta har medfört att fler i ansvarspositioner ställs inför beslutet att säga upp medarbetare. Syftet med undersökningen är att öka förståelsen för uppsägarens upplevelser av att genomföra uppsägningar. Rapportens övergripande problemställning är hur upplever uppsägaren sin situation i uppsägningsprocessen och vilka förväntningar riktas mot honom/henne? För uppsägaren finns det också en informell sida av hans/hennes yrkesmässiga position vilket mynnar ut i underfrågan hur påverkas uppsägarens informella sida av hans/hennes yrkesmässiga position och vilka känslor är förknippade med uppsägningsprocessen för uppsägaren? Uppsatsen är av kvalitativ karaktär och intervjuer genomfördes med fem personer som sagt upp anställda på grund av arbetsbrist under 2008.Resultatet av studien visar att organisationsstrukturen avgör vilken position uppsägaren har samt vilka påverkansmöjligheter han/hon har i uppsägningsprocessen.

This thesis investigates and analyses the social media strategy of eight companies. How the companies measure and evaluate their activity and investments in social media channels in general, and Facebook in particular is studied through qualitative interviews. The findings are then compared and analysed. Findings indicate that companies' social media presences to a large extent are dependent on individual employees with high levels of interest for the area and that companies that have integrated social media into their others operations see more value from their efforts..

Anne Reese: Johan Lindegrens vägval : en studie i de faktorer som påverkade enskilda aktörers verksamhet inom Stockholms musiksamhälle 1860-1908, Uppsala universitet: Institutionen för Musikvetenskap, uppsats för 100 poäng, 2007.The aim of this essay is to show some of the factors which affected the production and work of the individual musician or composer within Stockholm's music society in the late 19th century. By a case study on Johan Lindegren (1842-1908) I demonstrate how a musician or a composer functioned in the social structures of the music society and how power affected the work of the musician or composer. This essay also fills another purpose as it gives Lindegren a more detailed biography, which is something that has been missing until now.By applying a concept of power, as discussed by Michel Foucault, to this subject and interacting it with the concepts of musical opportunism, I present a new way of talking about the social, as well as the individual factors that affects the individual musician within the music society.The conclusion is drawn that there are two different types of factors that affects the work of the individual; 1) the social network and power within society, which presents positions and opportunities for the musician and 2) the individual character of musician which determine the way the individual uses the position or opportunity he or she is given..

What are their advantages and disadvantages, according to the group leaders?The method used was qualitative and the empirical material was collected through group interviews. We have interviewed eight persons who are social workers and the interviews were carried out at three work places.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether the success of theconcept of empowerment in the field of social science can be explained by referring to it as the new paradigm replacing the former paternalistic era. Therefore, I investigate if the character of its history, domicile and practice has the same distinguishing features as the scientific progress. The analysis is based on Thomas Kuhn's definition of a scientific paradigm through the concepts of consensus, crisis and revolution. I also look for alternative ways to explain the sudden appearance of empowerment at the world agenda. Due to the lack of a uniform definition of the concept and the absence of common approaches in the stimulation of empowerment it's difficult to argue that the situation is marked by consensus.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att ge fo?rdjupad kunskap om Rosendalsgymnasiets position bland Uppsalas gymnasier, vilket konkretiserats genom fo?rha?llningssa?tt till gymnasiet som en akto?r i fa?ltet, men ocksa? som en akto?r i elevernas utbildning.

Fo?r att fo?rsta? gymnasiefa?ltet i Uppsala beho?vs fo?rst fo?rsta?else fo?r de dominerande parterna, da?r Rosendalsgymnasiet sticker ut som en akto?r.

With the days DGPS-technology can a position of 5 centimetres decides. With this exactly position is the technology very interesting for the agriculture.

If the combine is equipped with harvest accounting, can you with help of the system make harvest maps.

Denna rapport är en sammanställning av utfört examensarbete åt CreateIT AB i Junsele. Uppgiften var att utreda hur man kan implementera ett system för att ta reda på en mobils position i CreateITs tidredovisningsapplikation. I rapporten tar vi upp flera teorier för hur en position kan bestämmas, dels GSM-nätets positionsbestämning och dels genom GPS-satelliter. Fördelar och nackdelar med de båda systemen diskuteras i rapporten. Vi granskar de tjänster och produkter som finns på marknaden våren 2002.

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att ta reda på om det finns något samband mellan social kompetens och stress. I uppsatsen presenteras vad social kompetens är och vad stress är.

Urvalet, som var ett bekvämlighetsurval, var 60 anställda på olika arbetsplatser i Karlskrona, av dem erhölls 52 svar. Med hjälp av en Pearsonkorrelation och en fenomenologisk analys visade det sig att det finns ett samband mellan social kompetens och stress.

The aim of this thesis is to examine the fear of crime in old peoples lives. Notwithstanding that the age category is exposed to crime to a low degree, old people are experiencing a great fear of crime relative younger people.
