Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka hur svenska kommunala belysningsplaner kan behandla trygghet och estetik samt granska i vilken utsträckning kommunala belysningsprogram finns i Sverige. Arbetet skall visa hur olika kommuner arbetar med belysningsplanering och hur de i sin tur väljer att ta upp trygghetsaspekter och estetik. Den teoretiska ramen för arbetet återfinns i forskningsöversikten vilken beskriver nyttan med ljus och ljusets betydelse för trygghet, estetik och rumslighet etcetera. Efter forsknings-och kunskapsöversikten följer en genomgång av förekomsten av belysningsprogram i 21 utvalda regioner för att få en överblick i hur vanligt förekommande det är att kommuner upprättar planer för belysning. Senare följer en fallstudie av belysningsprogram från Alingsås kommun, Jönköpings kommun och Lunds kommun och därefter en analys och diskussion av dessa.

The purpose of the study was to examine what possibilities and obstacles, according to the personnel and patients in a methadone treatment, exist in the patient's social rehabilitation. How does the methadone treatment encourage the patient's social rehabilitation, what possibilities/obstacles are there according to personnel and patients? What does the patient see as important aspects of his/her social rehabilitation and what importance does the methadone have on the treatment? The results show that there are difficulties for patients to rebuild their life, find employment, start new social networks and get by with everyday tasks. The support from friends and family will simplify the patient's social rehabilitation, otherwise they get isolated and alone. Patients feel that they are fighting for a successful treatment so that they can have a relationship with friends and families again.

Det offentliga livet bidrar till en känsla av samhörighet och delaktighet, utan att tränga sig på. I staden kan du vara en anonym åskådare till mänsklig aktivitet. Du kan vistas privat i din bostad eller i offentligheten utanför. Den offentliga miljön formas med huskroppar som väggar och himmeln som tak och utgör en stor del av staden. Livet som pågår i det offentliga rummet är både vardagligt, som att cykla till jobbet, och rekreativt, som att njuta av solen.

This thesis is a study of social movements and their possibilities to effect politics by infuencing values in society through framing. I've looked upon social movements from a functionalistic-structuralistic perspective, as if they were carriers of values from people that otherwise won't be represented in the political life. The values that the social movements are struggling for can affect both the opinion and the decision-makers since the social movements in an active way are trying ti influence the society. The thesis examines the political opportunities that social movements hav to mobilise and grow. I have looked at different factors that either improve or make the political opportunities worse.

The purpose of this paper was to discuss stigma and stigmatisation in relation to social policy and social work. By discussing welfare systems in social policy I wanted to see if there could be any connection between social policy and stigma.

By connecting the stigma and the social policy theories with the case studies I wanted to see how the social policy could affect the stigma processes or vice versa.In the paper the concept of stigma has been described and discussed, foremost using the theories of Erving Goffman. I have also discussed the welfare system and the connection between residual systems and stigma.
