In my degree project I have chosen to write about the social interactions in children?s play. Iwanted to study their free play and the time when their teachers tell them what to play to seewhat their social interactions look like. The purpose with my research is to study whathappens in the social interactions in their different playing situations.I performed three observations of the free play and three observations of the guided play at apreschool to study what social interactions that takes place in the different playing situations.What happens and what patterns can I find in their play.In my research I had some questions that this project rests upon:What happens in the social interactions in the different playing situations?How do the children?s different social interactions look?The children that I have observed showed me that when they are interacting they especiallyuse their cognitive abilities, because an interaction needs a certain mental development.

The aim of this study was to gain a greater understanding of what social workers perceive to be mentally demanding and emotionally challenging work, and which strategies they use to handle it. I chose to interview six social workers, three of them had long experience of social work, and three of them had worked for less than a year. The justification for this choice wasthat I wanted to interview people with different experience of social work over time, to be able to see possible differences in what was perceived as mentally demanding and emotionally challenging work, and how it was handled. The social workers were interviewed with a semi structured interview manual.The results showed that the organization of the social service is not fitted to the work that social workers execute. This means that what is perceived as mentally demanding and emotionally challenging work largely depends on this.

Begreppet mÄngfald diskuteras allt oftare i samhÀllsdebatten och valet av uppsatsÀmne kÀndes dÀrför naturligt. Syftet med vÄr undersökning var att beskriva etnisk mÄngfald och integration pÄ tvÄ arbetsplatser inom bankvÀrlden.Undersökningen genomfördes pÄ tvÄ banker som aktivt valt att anstÀlla invandrare. Vi anvÀnde oss av en kvalitativ metod och halvstrukturerade intervjuer och genomförde totalt tio stycken. Resultaten visade att bankerna befinner sig i ett startskede dÀr det Àn sÄ lÀnge frÀmst Àr i rekryteringsprocessen samt inom ramen för kundanpassning som tankar om tillvaratagande av etnisk mÄngfald Äterfinns.

Den hĂ€r uppsatsen belyser implementeringen av den svenska integrationspolitiken utifrĂ„n ett nerifrĂ„n-och-upp-perspektiv med avstamp i frontlinjebyrĂ„kratiteorin. Uppsatsen syftar till att jĂ€mföra och beskriva frontlinjebyrĂ„kraters myndighetsutövning, med ett sĂ€rskilt fokus pĂ„ deras arbete med invandrarklienter. FrĂ„gan Ă€r i vad mĂ„n detta skiljer sig mellan de frontlinjebyrĂ„krater som arbetar med invandrarklienter under deras första tid i samhĂ€llet och de som inte gör det. Och vilken betydelse kan detta antas ha för det integrationspolitiska utfallet? Det empiriska materialet har samlats in genom kvalitativa intervjuer med frontlinjebyrĂ„krater inom tvĂ„ kommunala förvaltningsmyndigheter i Örebro.

Social inlÀrning influeras av interaktioner, eller observationer, av en artfrÀnde eller dennes produkter. Beteendet och nÀrvaron av en artfrÀnde kan pÄverka beteendet hos en individ, vilket i sin tur kan leda till överföring av nya beteendemönster i en population. De domesticerade djurens kapacitet för social inlÀrning, samt effekterna av detta, Àr stora frÄgor inom husdjurens skötsel och vÀlfÀrd. För vÀrphöns Àr det viktigt att undersöka om skadliga beteendemönster, som kannibalism och fjÀderplockning, Àr resultat av social inlÀrning. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att granska den domesticerade hönans (Gallus gallus domesticus) kapacitet för att dra lÀrdom via social inlÀrning.

Abstrakt Social Engineering Àr konsten att manipulera mÀnniskor, för att pÄ sÄ sÀtt vinna deras förtroende. Med hjÀlp av detta förtroende kan attackeraren sedan kringgÄ sÀkerhetssystem och fÄ tillgÄng till organisationers information. Vi har i denna uppsats genomfört elva intervjuer pÄ tre stora organisationer med bÄde IT-chefer och övrig personal.

Med denna uppsats vill vi belysa den ovisshet som rÄder kring Social Engineering, men Àven farorna och hur effektiv en attack av denna typ kan vara.

My main purpose with this study is to investigate how the social worker relates to knowledge, power and profession. From this purpose has also the concept ?to be a social worker? emerged.The study is based on a qualitative study and consists of semi-structured interviews with seven social workers from different fields of expertise.The result of the study shows that the knowledge is dependent of different fields of expertise. But in the contact with the client, regardless of field of expertise, the knowledge is gathered through a reflective pattern. Through theoretical attempts and earlier experience from social workers, this is brought to life in this unique meeting.

The aim of this study was to examine the perceptions within social services regarding men who are victims of domestic violence based on how gender, sexuality, masculinity and victimhood was constructed in the social workers' statements. Eight qualitative interviews were conducted with nine social workers who work within the social services and meet people who are victims of domestic violence. A social constructionist scientific approach has permeated the study and theories of gender, heteronormativity, masculinity and the ideal victim has served as the study?s theoretical views. The results of the study showed that some of the social workers ascribed men specific characteristics such as strength and fearlessness.

A foundation of our welfare state is that we have a social safety net. This safety net is designed to pick up individuals who are in need of help and support to manage their way of life. This essay regards people who need help with care or people who need help with an addiction. This essay is a qualitative text analysis, which aims to see whether, and if so how, help-seekers are constructed in 40 social service documents within a municipality in central Sweden. We have endeavored to illustrate the power that the written word possesses and which categories of people are constructed depending on the language and content of the social documents.

This is an interview based qualitative case study on two Women's Migrant Associations in Malmoe, which I interpret as being part of a women's movement, with characteristics of a new social movement. The aim of this study is to get a deeper understanding on how the collective identity is being constructed, in this women's movement where the membership is not based on an exclusive ethnic identity.I make a two dimensional analysis that departs from a social constructivist underpinning, including the theories Transversial Politics, Postcolonial feminism and New Social Movement Theory.First I analyze the construction of collective identity from the external social and cultural context, and get confirmed that the collective identity of the movement is based on a common experience of social exclusion and a plurality of actions that aims to fight the structural injustices based on gender and ethnic discrimination. Secondly I analyze how the collective identity is being constructed and maintained from the interactions between the members of the movement, from an understanding of Transversial Politics. My findings show that the members of the movement interact in a participatory democratic way which generally corresponds to Transversial Politics. According to Transversial Politics this can lead to a construction of an empowered inclusive collective identity for the members and as my empirical study confirms it also means possibilities for deconstruction of boundaries between social groups..
