Uppsatsen syftar till att underso?ka kulturtidskrifternas roll och status i det svenska samha?llet idag, bland annat genom intervjuer med verksamma redakto?rer pa? olika kulturtidskrifter. Som problembakgrund presenteras den paradoxala situation som kulturtidskrifterna sta?lls emot: de anses som viktiga fo?r yttrandefrihet, demokrati och ma?ngfald men blir a?nda? fo?rsummade och underprioriterade inom politik och forskning. Utifra?n detta formuleras tre fra?gesta?llningar:Hur ser redakto?rerna pa? den politik som drivs kring kulturtidskriften?Vad anser redakto?rerna att kulturtidskriften har fo?r roll och status i samha?llet?Hur kan kulturtidskriftens roll och status tolkas utifra?n de intervjuaderedakto?rernas svar, den ra?dande kulturpolitiska diskussionen, kulturteorier ochtidigare forskning?Dessa fra?gor analyseras utifra?n intervjusvaren, tidigare forskning, Horkheimer ochAdornos teoretisering av kulturindustrin, Habermas teorier om det offentliga rummet samt Bourdieus fa?ltteori och teori om ekonomiskt och kulturellt kapital.

This study examines the connection between social capital and involvement within voluntary associations; involvement is defined either as being a member in an association or a member who has some kind of assignment in an association. The study also examines if there is a difference between two social economic groups regarding the attainment and transformation of social capital through being involved in a voluntary association.Social capital is defined as social trust and the willingness of collective action.The result of the research shows there is a slight connection between the involvement in voluntary associations and social capital. It shows that people who are members of a voluntary association often have higher social capital than those who are not members of any voluntary association at all. The study also shows that there is a difference in attainment of social capital between those who have some kind of assignment in a voluntary association and general members.When studying social capital and involvement in voluntary associations it is also of interest to take social class into the analysis, because the study shows that people with a lower education had increased social capital when they were members in an association compared to the members with a higher education..

Syftet med detta arbete är att få en inblick i vad fritidspedagogens uppdrag i klassrummet är. Genom att studera yrkesroll och status vill vi få reda på hur några verksamma fritidspedagoger upplever detta uppdrag och sin yrkesroll. Vi vill även studera utbildningens form och innehåll ur ett historiskt och ett nutida perspektiv för att ta reda på om och hur yrkesrollen har förändrats. Genom litteratur och empiri i form av intervjuer har vi kommit fram till att avsaknaden av riktlinjer för vad fritidspedagogens roll i klassrummet är gör att fritidspedagogen, i samverkan med klassläraren, själv får tolka sin roll och göra den till sin egen. Utifrån intervjuer med informanter har vi också kommit fram till att vissa grundläggande kompetenser som de tycker ska ingå i en fritidspedagogsutbildning idag saknas..

The purpose of our study is to describe and understand whether, and if so, how social workers in school and in social services construct computer gaming adolescents as a social problem. We chose social workers who encounter adolescents with different problems. We have conducted qualitative interviews with vignettes to capture the social workers' reasoning about computer gaming adolescents and how they handle this in their work. The study shows that all social workers we interviewed had encountered adolescents with troubling computer gaming habits. In the study, all agree that computer gaming becomes a problem when it leads to deviant behaviour such as not going to school, staying up all night and so on.

Syftet med studien var att sammanställa vetenskaplig litteratur angående patienternas livskvalitet samt sjuksköterskans omvårdnadsåtgärder med avseende på orala komplikationer som är ett vanligt förekommande problem hos patienter inom palliativ vård. Våra frågeställningar var: Hur påverkar orala komplikationer livskvalitet hos patienter inom palliativ vård? Vilka omvårdnadsåtgärder kan sjuksköterskan utföra dels för att patienter ska bibehålla god oral status och dels för att patienternas resurser stärks och balansen mellan dagliga livets krav och inre respektive yttre resurser upprätthålls?

Resultatet visar att fysiska besvär och psykosocialt lidande till följd av orala komplikationer påverkade patienternas livskvalitet i stor utsträckning.

Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka hur synen på och tilltron till ämnet bild ser ut och undersöka bildämnets status. Problemformuleringen utgörs av dessa frågor: Hur ser rektorers syn på och förståelse av ämnet bild ut? Hur ser inställningen ut till den ökade digitaliseringen i ämnet bild? Hur ser rektorerna på bildämnets status? Detta undersökte jag genom en halvstrukturerad intervjumetod med sex stycken rektorer, samtliga verksamma i en och samma kommun med samma ansvarsområde. För att skapa en förståelse för hur traditionen för bild har sett ut så tecknade jag en historisk bakgrundsbild. Det resultat jag fick fram var att det finns en positiv inställning till ämnet bild men att det förekommer en ålderdomlig syn på ämnet och dess syfte i skolan.
