The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether institutional ownership has an influence on CEO compensation in companies where the institutions have invested. In order to fulfil the purpose of the thesis a quantitative study was carried out within the Swedish corporate context where we have studied Swedish institutional investors and companies quoted on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Our period of study was the financial year of 2007.The empirical questions at issue is; Was there a connection between Swedish institutional ownership and the size of the CEO compensation, and, does Swedish institutional ownership lead to a certain type of CEO compensation in terms of structure?Our results did not suggest that an increased institutional ownership neither leads to a certain type of salary level nor a certain kind of salary structure. These results contradict earlier American research, which has been done within this area and has previously shown a secured connection.The reasons for our results may be many and it is difficult to state any concrete conclusions to why we received differing results.

 Idag har nästan varje student en Facebook-profil och majoriteten av studenterna använder sig av Facebook dagligen. Då studenter lägger upp allt mer och mer privat innehåll på sociala medier har det blivit en källa med information för företag att använda sig av i rekryteringssammanhang.Det uppsatsen menar att besvara är hur studenter på KTH ställer sig till social rekrytering via Facebook och hur de anpassar sig. Vi genomförde en kvantitativ studie för att undersöka hur  studenters medvetenhet kring- samt inställning till social rekrytering ser ut, och sedan genomförde en kvalitativ studie för att undersöka varför inställningen ser ut som den gör. Vi ville även undersöka om social rekrytering anses vara ett accepterat rekryteringsverktyg.Resultaten visar att majoriteten av vår målgrupp är medvetna om att social rekrytering används samt att de tycker det är ett acceptabelt rekryteringsverktyg. Vi har funnit att majoriteten av studenterna väljer att ha stängda profiler, då de inte vill att obehöriga ska ha möjlighet att komma åt privat information.

Consumption of meat and poultry has increased during the last ten years while the production in Sweden has decreased. Cheap imports are competing with Swedish products and consumers, restaurant and retail let the price decided what to purchase. Swedish food producers can become better at communicating the added values that meat and poultry produced in Sweden has. Social media gives companies a possible tool for communication in order to communicate and create a relationship with consumers. The rise of social media does not only affect consumer decisions making, but also corporate communication. The objective of this project is to investigate how social media can connect the farmer to the consumer.

The aim with this study was to examine how social service statement in 3 § social-judgements LVU (Swedish care of young persons act) produce ideas about gender. We have taken an interest in the production of both boys and girls and their mothers and fathers because there are clear differences in the description of these. From a historical perspective, the differences between gender in social assessments occurred despite the fact that discrimination is prohibited by law and despite the fact that social service shall work on the basis of an gender equality perspective. In the analysis and interpretation of the rulings we have been inspired by a critical discourse analysis. 30 social-judgements have been analyzed where of 15 concerns girls and 15 involve boys.

Syftet med vår studie var att se hur Sverigedemokraterna genom sitt principprogram konstruerar svenskhet och på så vis skapar en gräns mellan ?oss och de andra?. Metoden för vår studie har varit en kvalitativ text- och diskursanalys. Vårt resultat visar att texten i programmet påverkar och konstruerar sociala kategorier som är avgörande för människors sociala positioner och tillgång till resurser. Partiets konstruktion av svenskhet bygger på en social och nationell likhet som skapar social ojämlikhet.

The main domain in which eating disorders are defined is medical, whereas socio-cultural perspectives are less common. Because social workers seeks to explain different problems taking societal factors into account, we asked ourselves if social workers have a way of understanding eating disorders, that is different from a medical point of view. Two focus group interviews were conducted; the one composed by social workers with experience of working with eating disorders, and the other by social workers without that experience, which enabled comparisons. The interviews were analyzed using socio-cultural and feminist perspectives. The result showed that the social workers use socio-cultural perspectives in explaining eating disorders.

Skam och skuld är två emotioner som empiriskt kopplats ihop med en rad olika psykopatologiska tillstånd, såsom depression, ångest, tvångssyndrom och social fobi. För att undersöka skam- och skuldbenägenhet hos klienter med social fobi samt studera om behandling med KBT påverkar graden av dessa emotioner distribuerades the Test of Self-Conscious Affect (TOSCA) hos 67 patienter med social fobi samt hos 73 friska studenter i en kontrollgrupp. Resultaten visar ingen skillnad i skambenägenhet, men för skuldbenägenhet visade kontrollgruppen högre värden än den kliniska gruppen. Skambenägenheten hade minskat signifikant efter behandling med individuell KBT. För skuldbenägenhet visades ingen skillnad efter behandling.

Den här rapporten tar upp ett annorlunda hot mot informationssäkerheten, som inte hårdvaraeller mjukvara kan stoppa. Detta hot kallas för social-engineering, och det som gör detta hotfarligt är att de anställda och chefer i en organisation, kan hjälpa utövaren av socialengineeringutan att de själva vet om det.Det går inte att förhindra att dessa attacker sker, men man kan förhindra de negativakonsekvenserna av en sådan attack. Denna rapport tar upp hur man ska göra för att enorganisation ska kunna fortsätta med sin verksamhet, efter en attack av social-engineering. Ivärsta fall kan en attack av social-engineering innebära att ett företag aldrig återhämtar sig.Detta kan bero på att organisationen har förlorat alla sina kunder, förlorat marknads andelar,eller för att de ansvariga och viktiga personerna i organisationen har blivit dömda föroaktsamhet och sitter i fängelse.Denna rapport ska informera och få er att vara uppmärksamma och medvetna om dessahot, som ni kanske inte vet finns. Ni ska få kunskap och lära er känna igen de olikaförklädnaderna en utövare av social-engineering antar..

The purpose of our study is to examine whether social welfare secretaries experience obstacles in work to do their tasks in a way that they, from their own values, thinks is right.

The data consist of interviews, with five social welfare secretaries, which all work in southern Sweden. The social welfare secretaries both work at a children- and youth department and at a social allowance department.

Social engineering handlar om metoder för att infiltrera organisationers datorsystemgenom att manipulera eller utnyttja användarna för att komma över information. Det är idag ett betydande säkerhetsproblem eftersom få organisationer utbildar sin personal i att hantera den här typen av angrepp. Med den här uppsatsen vill vi undersöka fenomenet. Intervjuer har utförts inom en stor organisation för att få inblick i hur stor medvetenheten om fenomenet är och vad som görs för att skydda sig emot det. Det finns tydliga tecken på att social engineering fortfarande är ett relativt okänt område som inte har spenderats tillräckligt med resurser på.

The background of this paper is the dual role that the social worker can have, of beeing both supportive and controlling in the meeting with clients. It is also about the power the social worker can have, how they handle the power in their profession and how they remain to it in the relationship with the client. The study is qualitative and built on interviews with eight social workers that work in different areas in the social services. We have chosen to see this dual role as if the social workers have to, in their daily work, handle the roles as one authority role and one supportive role towards the client.The purpose of this study is to understand how the dual role as the social worker has in the profession, as a helper and a authority, is expressed in the work and relationship with the client. We have turned this purpose into two questions: How do social workers with authority remain to the dual roles of the profession? How do the social workers describe and understand power?We don´t want to generalize in this study, we want to give an example of the social workers own experiences about the dual role.
