The purpose of this essay was to examine whether there were any differences in social workers way of investigating boys and girls, age 13-15. The main questions we wanted to answer were; which were the factors that the social workers focused on? Did the investigations lead to a measure and if so, which one? How were risk and protection factors described and ana-lysed?To answer our questions we read and analyzed 22 reports, written by social workers 2004 at the department for teenagers and families at a social welfare service in Sweden. We came to the conclusion that there were some differences, but these were few and not extensive. Recreational activities was mentioned in a higher degree in the boys reports while health, housing conditions and network were mentioned more often in the girl´s reports.

Min utgångspunkt vid uppsatsens början var att ta reda på hur lärare uppfattar det pedagogiska ledarskapet och vad som är ett bra pedagogiskt ledarskap? Jag gjorde intervjuer med 8 lärare som var mellan 22 och 63 år. De har en geografisk spridning i Skåne med blandade erfarenheter - givetvis beroende på deras ålder. Samtliga undervisar i nuläget barn mellan 11 ? 13 år. Jag har med min undersökning fått fram att det har stor betydelse i lärarrollen att inneha social kompetens samt ett socialt ledarskap, som lägger vikt vid att alla individer skall må bra och lyckas nå de mål som sätts upp..

Denna studies syfte är att kartlägga vad elever i årskurs 9 har för kunskaper om och attityder till hållbar utveckling inom några dimensioner för att förstå hur de kan tänkas prioritera som konsumenter främst när det gäller livsmedel och val i hemmet. Jag har främst tittat på de val eleverna kan ställas inför i mitt ämne Hem- och konsumentkunskap och de val de möter som vanliga konsumenter. Mina forskningsfrågor är: Vad har eleverna för kunskaper som grund när det gäller att göra hållbara val?, Vad har eleverna för uppfattning av olika dimensioner av hållbar utveckling? och Finns det skillnader mellan könen? För att ta reda på det har jag använt mig av en enkätundersökning med fasta svarsalternativ. Resultatet visar att ungefär hälften av eleverna visar sig ha tillräckliga kunskaper för att kunna göra hållbara val i dimensionerna kunskap, solidaritet, framtid och att 38 % hade det för dimensionen jämställdhet.

BAKGRUND:I Vygotskijs pedagogiska teorier är det betydelsen av kulturen och den sociala interaktion som är viktigt för barns utveckling. Forskare har kommit fram till att socialt deltagande är viktigt för barn, då de utvecklar en egen identitet. Barnen kan med hjälp av bildskapandet inspirera och påverka varandra samt skapa olika kamratgrupper. I dessa grupper finns det en dold längtan till att bara få vara med, men även känna trygghet och en gemenskap.SYFTE:Vårt syfte är att undersöka hur förskolebarn i åldern ett till fem använder det fria bildskapandet som ett forum för att skapa social samhörighet.METOD:Vi använder oss av den kvalitativa forskningsmetoden med observationer som forskningsredskap. Våra observationer skedde på två olika förskolor där barnen var i åldrarna två till sex.

Title: When municipalities are keeping upAuthors: Hansson Käll, Ida; Jonasson, MikaelaTutor: Waks, CarolineCourse: Bachelor thesis, 15hp, Department of Business Studies, HT 2010Background: During the recent years social media has evolved into a powerful communicative medium. From an organizational standpoint social media has become a way for organizations to get closer to, and create a dialogue with, their environment. Swedish municipalities have began to use social media in their daily communication with the environment, but a problem has been raised about how public organizations should organize their social media when formal guidelines from the government are missing.Objective: The objective of this thesis is to examine how eight Swedish municipalities have organized their use of social media due to the lack of official guidance from the government, and also what difficulties that have occurred during this process.Method: The method used is qualitative with data collected through interviews with one respondent from each municipality.Results: The result show that the organizational solutions varies through each municipality but also the choice of social media. It has been important for municipalities to have someone in charge of the new communication tool since social media is a fast and communicative channel. Seven out of eight municipalities have already developed or are in process of developing their own formal guidelines on how to use social media.

The effects of social media usage in a professional context, specifically the effects on social media usage in relation to leadership have been studied in order to determine weather or not usage can be productive for leadership in general. The study concludes that there are several benefits as well as drawbacks to leadership in using social media, but has yet to conclude weather productive or not. This study gives an overview of a relatively unexplored subject.Leadership in terms of leader, communication and group dynamics have been defined and explained in accordance with existing literature. A  brief review of computer and Internet history attempts to explain the formation and evolution of social media. Risks in terms of risks related to leadership and risks related to IT-security are taken into consideration and have been briefly explained.

Social workers in the Social Services are seen as professionals and they are associatedwith a substantial degree of freedom to carry out their work in order to interpret theSocial Services Act and make decisions. This freedom is referred to as discretion andis a central aspect of the role of the social worker. But the social worker is employedwithin an organisation that exists in an environment influenced of political decisionswhich sets boundaries to how far the freedom stretches. The general aim with thisthesis is to gain insight in how social workers within the Social Services experiencetheir discretion. Secondary this thesis also aims to explore how discretion is shapedand negotiated.

En av de viktigaste nycklarna till en lärande organisation, är teamlärande. Samarbetar och arbetar de anställda tillsammans så överstiger det den enskildes kunnande. Facilitatorer arbetar med förändringsprocesser där de anställda utmanas och coachas mot att samverka aktivt för att tillsammans bilda en lärande organisation, där ett mål med processen är att leda organisationer mot att fortlöpande vilja eftersträva förbättringar med andra ord bli en lärande organisation. Det har visat att det finns en viss problematik kring att skapa grupper som frambringar förutsättningar för lärande och utveckling. Vi kände då att vi kunde bidra till den pedagogiska vetenskapen i anknytning till detta problem genom vår studie som riktar sig mot facilitatorns upplevelser av hur de påverkar förutsättningarna för utveckling och lärande i/hos arbetsgrupper.

When it comes to investigating the motives behind activism, the members of political study have a lot to say. I aimed to critiqually rewiev this in my thesis. I asked the question ?What do the actor themselves claim lay behin their decision to become motivated?? To highlight this complex dilemma, I sought to discuss new social movement theory by comparing it to reality. This includes a literate examination on contemporary political science approaches, and a study of two organisations in the south of Sweden, choosen not to despise any excisting theory, but to give it a sense of reality.
