The term ?social competence? is widely used by organizations in job advertisements, despite the problems of making a unified definition of it. The purpose of this study is to investigate which features the organizations require, why organizations require them and how the assessment is implemented for recruitment. To answer the purpose of this study, eight qualitative interviews conducted with recruiters from four different staffing agencies. Further a literature study was performed to define the concept of ?social competence? and its meaning, in order to later connect this to the result.

Many sexual crime matters are in a difficult position when it comes to proof, where it's word against word between the parties. However, the legislation states that it's the offender's actions that are to be in focus for the judicial judgement, but often the focus is on the woman, whether she said no and how she acted in that particular situation (Sutorius & Kaldal, 2003).The purpose with this essay was to investigate the professionals' view of the raped woman and what image the professionals convey/construct of the legal proceedings she goes through. With professionals, we mean lawyers and other professionals that function as support or treatment contacts for raped women. The questions we considered to be relevant for our investigation were: What image of the raped woman do the professionals convey? What image of the crime rape do the professionals convey and what image do they convey/construct of the legal proceedings the woman goes through? How is the view of the raped woman constructed in society? We considered qualitative interviews mixed with earlier studies and theories to be the best investigative method for our purpose.

A Social Enterprise is a business that features a mixture of characteristics that originates from the third and private sector. A general conception of Social Enterprises is that they aim to improve social welfare by the use of sustainable business models. The mixture of social and business features has created ambiguity about how to define Social Enterprises. The purpose of this study is to clarify Swedish Social Enterprises as a phenomenon and to examine antagonism that arises from mixing the two different sets of organisational characteristics. This is achieved by conducting a qualitative study of ten Swedish companies that the market considers to be Social Enterprises.

Gentrifiering är ett begrepp som beskriver den ekonomiska och sociala förändringen som infinner sig när en stadsdel uppgraderas, från att ha en låg status till att få en högre status. En gentrifieringsprocess kan generera positiva effekter till en stadsdel och dess invånare genom att tillväxten och servicen ökar. Men gentrifiering kan också skapa kännbara konsekvenser för de boende som blir undanträngda från sina hem på grund av ökade hyror. Gentrifiering har länge varit ett stort forskningsämne inom discipliner så som etnologi, sociologi, geografi och kulturgeografi.Statsvetenskapen har däremot ägnat gentrifieringen förvånande liten uppmärksamhet.Uppsatsens syfte är därför att inleda en teoriutveckling av gentrifieringsbegreppetutifrån ett statsvetenskapligt maktperspektiv. Genom att kritiskt granska tidigaregentrifieringsforskning från maktperspektivet drar jag slutsatsen att tolkningsföreträde och inflytande är två centrala begrepp som statsvetare bör ta fasta på i en statsvetenskaplig teoriutveckling som fokuserar på gentrifiering..

The purpose of this study was to examine divergences in assessments of social assistance in one big and one small social welfare office in the municipalities of Malmö. To examine this we used a qualitative method. We held interviews with social workers and their superiors.

Medborgarinflytande i kommunala planeringsprocesser har aktualiserats bland annat på grund av att det finns en önskan att göra dessa processer mer effektiva och demokratiska. Vi undersöker hur socioekonomiska skillnader bland medborgare påverkar deras möjligheter till inflytande i dessa planeringsprocesser. I en fördjupad studie vill vi se hur en kommun, där dessa skillnader finns, skulle kunna hantera kommunikation och medborgarinflytande utifrån denna aspekt. En enkätundersökning har gjorts i Kristianstad stad med avsikten att undersöka personers socioekonomiska status kontra medborgarinflytande. Vi har också använt resultaten för att kunna föra en diskussion kring medborgarinflytande på orterna Åhus och Tollarp i Kristianstad kommun.

The purpose of this bachelor?s thesis is to examine whether there was an elite on Gotland during Roman Iron Age or not. To explain this focus has been put on the roman goods. The contexts in which the roman artifacts are found indicate that they can be tied to what might have been an elite on Gotland during Roman Iron Age. They might also have been used as means of expressing wealth and prestige.

Uppsatsen Mission Impossible - Jämställdhet vid Lunds Universitet? syftar till att ge en sammanhängande bild av hur vi kan förstå varför Lunds universitets jämställdhetspolicy inte har implementerats.Vi har utgått från existerande jämställdhetsplan och lagstiftning för att i kontrast till tillgängligt empiriskt material bekräfta att jämställdhet inte föreligger, och planen inte följts.Institutioner reflekterar mönster av fördelningsfördelar.Det finns skäl att misstänka att jämställdhet som fråga reducerats för att detta rubbar status quo. Givetvis urholkar det kraften i demokratin om beslut fattade av våra valda församlingar ignorerasVi finner i uppsatsen att begreppet makt i sin klassiska definition inte räcker för att beskriva fenomenet vi ställs inför. Den yttersta makten, hör och häpna, återfinns inte hos agendaskrivare, och ej heller i sammanträdesrummet. Vad vi visar är att icke-handling styr över ekonomiska resurser, fasta tjänster, policybeslut på Lunds universitet.5 nyckelord: implementering, icke-implementering, glastak, jämställdhet, genus..

This paper examines, through questionnaire, how young students in upper secondary school in Malmo experience social integration. It also contain what they think should be done in order to improve the integration between youth that are ethnic Swedish and youth that have a foreign background. To understand the subject we started with a review over Swedish integration politic and its influence over Malmo and social integration in the country. We have used such theoretical starting points as identity and ethnicity in relations to the social surroundings, social affinity theory and flexible mindedness, making of groups among youth and factors to promote social integration. Our conclusion is that the experience of social integration between the two groups depends on how you experience yourself.

Social enterprises make up one of the groups of participants that provide welfare services financed by public funding. The object of this study is to describe and analyze from a theoretical point of view which conditions, in what fields, by which division of responsibility and finally through what decisions these social enterprises are allocated a place in the market for social welfare services. The company that has been the object of study offers services in the field of social welfare and in employment. In the study a triangulation of qualitative methods has been used: studies of literature on the subject, recurrent interviews and observations and also reviews of documents. The results have been analyzed from theories on the space available on the market for social services, on social economy and on social capital in the form of strong, weak and bridging bonds.

This essay deals with a picture-stone that was found in a pre Christian grave during the archaeological excavations of the Viking Age harbour and trading place at Fröjel parish, Gotland, in 1999. The stone is at least 100 years older then the male grave in which it was found. The picture-stone can be dated to  late 8th century or early 9th century, and the grave is probably from the late 10th century. One of the main questions in this essay is why the people of that time re-used an older picture-stone in a younger burial. I believe that the stone was reused as a grave-gift.

Abstrakt Social Engineering är konsten att manipulera människor, för att på så sätt vinna deras förtroende. Med hjälp av detta förtroende kan attackeraren sedan kringgå säkerhetssystem och få tillgång till organisationers information. Vi har i denna uppsats genomfört elva intervjuer på tre stora organisationer med både IT-chefer och övrig personal. Med dessa intervjuer har vi sedan försökt få en bild av hur medvetenheten ser ut samt vilka åtgärder organisationerna tar för att förhindra Social Engineering. Med denna uppsats vill vi belysa den ovisshet som råder kring Social Engineering, men även farorna och hur effektiv en attack av denna typ kan vara.

The aim of this essay was to investigate how social workers, within chosen Social services districts in the northwest of Skåne, work with children placed in foster care. Our purpose was to investigate the interaction between the child and the foster home from the perspective of the Ecology of Human Development. Our questions were:* How do the social worker prepare the child and the foster home before a placement?* What kind of support is offered to the foster home with the purpose of supporting the child?* How do the social worker make the childs contact with the biological parents easier?* To what degree does the social worker work on strengthening the child's network?* Which factors do the social worker decide the allocation of support?* What do the social worker think affects the work with the foster home from a society level?To answer our question we have interviewed nine social workers. We found that the social workers were generally good at perceiving how the micro- and meso-systems, and to a certain extent the exo-system, influenced the foster child.
