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.

Inom hälso- och sjukvården spelar informationsteknologi en allt större roll för utvecklingen. Informationsteknologin har skapat nya förutsättningar där chansen till förbättrade vårdrutiner finns inom många områden genom att införa och utveckla användandet av telemedicin.Då vi tror att den telemedicinska potentialen kommer att användas i större utsträckning i framtiden känner vi att det finns ett intresse för en utredning av redan existerande samarbeten inom telemedicin. Vi skrev denna uppsats med syftet att undersöka, identifiera och analysera vad som krävs för att möjliggöra ett effektivt telemedicinskt partnerskap inom sjukvården för att förbättra patientens vård, behandling och ta tillvara på de arbetsprocesser som skapas i och med ett telemedicinskt samarbete. Vi har analyserat två olika typer av telemedicinska samarbeten. Vi har genom en kvalitativ undersökning, främst genom intervjuer, grundligt undersökt två av de bestående nätverken för att sedan analysera dessa med hjälp av den modell vi har sammanställt från de teorier om nätverk som vi utgått ifrån.Utifrån analysen om Konsensusnätverket är slutsatsen att samarbetet har lett till en förbättring av kvaliteten i behandlingarna.

The purpose of this study is to investigate what kind of idea a group of students in third grade, who attends a school in the Stockholm area, have on group work in school and how they think it affects their learning.The study is based on two questions:What opinion do the students have about group work?What opinion do the students have about how group work affects their learning?The method I have used to retrieve information has been to interview six different students, where the interviews were both individually and in groups. I started by interviewing students individually and then had a group interview. The idea with the group interview was to end it all with a brief discussion about the thoughts that came up during the individual interviews. I chose a selection of six students, four girls and two boys which they all were at the age of 9 and go to the same school.The socio-cultural and structural perspectives, is those theoretical perspectives that my study is based on.

Uppsatsens huvudsyfte var att genomföra en explorativ studie kring de underliggande kausala mekanismer som kan ligga bakom negativa förhållningssätt till utomnordiska invandrare bland unga svenska killar med skilda klasspositioner, med det underliggande syftet att undersöka huruvida klasspositioner har betydelse och i så fall vilken i förekomsten av sådana förhållningssätt. Syftets formulering ledde till två frågeställningar: Vilka kausala mekanismer kan ligga bakom unga svenska killars negativa förhållningssätt till utomnordiska invandrare?Har de unga svenska killarnas klassposition någon betydelse, och i så fall vilken i förekomsten av negativa förhållningssätt till invandrare? Uppsatsen ligger nära en etnografisk ansats, inordnad under den kritiska realismens sociala ontologi, omfattandes främst intervjuer, men även observationer, med 16 unga killar läsandes på tre olika gymnasieprogram. Vid sidan av Archers analytiska dualism har även Pierre Bourdieus och Eric Olin Wrights klassmodeller samt teorier inriktade mot negativa förhållningssätt till invandrare i form av Anders Langes och Charles Westins teorier kring social identitet och stratifierad arbetsmarknad varit centrala. Huvudresultat: Flera olika kausala mekanismer i form av t.ex.

In this examination project I look into what ways upper secondary school students conceive themselves as politically influenced before they voted for the general election of 2010. The purpose is to examine which influences the upper secondary school surroundings and the classes of civic education are contributing with to students before they voted. As a method, I have used personal, semi-structural interviews on eight upper secondary school students who all voted for a party represented in the parliament. I have asked questions about how they believe their parents, the surroundings of their school and the classes of civic education have influenced them. To separate which influences primarily the upper secondary school and the classes of civic educations have had on the students, I have selected two comparison groups of four students in each.

Background and problem discussionThe temporary employment industry has grown extensively during the past two decades since the market was deregulated. Companies today need to be flexible to meet fluctuating demand and economic climate in society which has made the market expand. When using employees not directly employed by the company there is a risk that long term effects appears that the companies have not thought of.Aim of studyTo create a model of what negative aspects companies should consider when making the decision to use temporary employees.Methodological frameworkThe study performed through an abdicative literature study and with an empirical data collection method of a qualitative approach where we interviewed five hiring companies and one temporary agency on the decision of hiring temporary employees.Frame of referenceProblem areas with the use of temporary employments were identified through four perspectives of the organization; the structural, human resource, symbolic and political perspective. The problem areas we address are organizational learning, motivation, risk of eroding human capital, belongingness and conflicts. These will be described and presented together with management control to counter the problems.EmpiricsThe empirics are focused on what aspects the companies of the study considered when making the decision to use temporary employment, what the companies? different reasons for using temporary employment are and what they do to minimize possible negative effects.Analysis and conclusionsCompanies use temporary employees mostly to become more flexible, both numerically and in their competence.

Sammanfattning Byggbranschen som sådan har över lång tid visat sig vara en mycket konservativ bransch. Gamla beprövade metoder och konstruktionslösningar tenderar att väljas före det som kan anses som nytt och oprövat. Under senare år har dock ett stigande energipris samt den globala uppvärmningen drivit utvecklingen i en riktning där energieffektiva byggnader efterfrågas i allt större omfattning. Detta medför en efterfrågan för nya material och byggnadssätt som kan ersätta eller komplettera de mer traditionella. Ett för i Sverige förhållandevis nytt byggnadssätt är att uppföra byggnader med Structural Insulated Panels SIPS. Dessa är konstruktionselement som används för både väggar och tak.

Concept - detail - buildingStockholm International Fairs, new main entrance I studied at the KTH School of Architecture from 1995 to 2000. After completing my studies I wanted to work in an office that had a structural way of thinking and that knew the building process; I therefore chose to work for Rosenberg Architects. I have worked on a number of projects, among them several for the Stockholm International Fairs, from the Rica Talk Hotel and Hall AE, to the new main entrance.In the projects we undertook at the School of Architecture we had to identify and draw details that were central to our concepts. I have here identified some key details that we considered to be essential for the concept in a built project; the new main entrance of the Stockholm International Fairs completed in 2013. The entrance has complex logistics with multiple intersecting flows: exhibitors, employees, journalists, VIPs and others.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur ungdomar (18-25-åringar) som är inskrivna på arbetsförmedlingen i en mindre ort upplever sin livssituation som arbetslös, vilka framtidsvisioner de har samt om det föreligger skillnader i dessa avseenden beroende på familjebakgrund. Studien baseras på sex kvalitativa intervjuer med ungdomar inskrivna på en arbetsförmedling i en mindre ort i Mellansverige som sedan transkriberats, meningskoncentrerats och slutligen analyserats främst med utgångspunkt i begreppen habitus, livsstil samt transaktionella behov. Resultaten i studien visar att respondenterna antingen vill flytta eller att förutsättningarna i orten gör att de känner sig tvingade till att göra det. Två olika mönster kan urskiljas i resultaten då respondenterna antingen tenderar att se flytten som ett medel för att få jobb eller tillgodogöra sig en utbildning, eller att de ser jobb eller utbildning som ett medel för att kunna flytta från orten. I analysen kopplar jag dessa två kategorier till begreppen habitus respektive livsstil och konstaterar att vissa ungdomar är mer habitusbetingade i sina handlingsmönster medan andra mer livsstilsbetingade.

AbstractEqual opportunities from an employer brand perspective- What does the future manpower inquire?Authors: Erik Frick & Niklas HalldénInstructor: Karin JonnergårdExaminer: Sarah PhilipsonBackgroundWe are living in a society that originates from a patriarchy founded many thousand years ago. This has put women in an inferior position in the labour market. To promote equal opportunities we argue for that companies can utilise employer brand. Employer brand is a new theoretic concept that is being used more frequently among scholars and companies.Presentation of the problem? Which role do equal opportunities play to attract potential manpower from an employer brand perspective?MethodOur method has a quantitative approach and we have choosen to carry out a survey.

Introduction: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a great public health issue that can cause serious physical, psychological and psychosomatic injuries to the woman. Education is one out of many important protective factors against IPV. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the association between women?s educational level and IPV in low- and middle-income countries, the interaction between the education of the woman and the man and IPV, how education on different levels (individual-, family- and community-level) influences IPV and how gender is connected to education and IPV. Method: A literature-based study with 12 selected scientific articles as the foundation for the analysis was performed.

Författaren John Ajvide Lindqvist väckte stor uppmärksamhet med debutromanen Låt den rätte komma in, som när den utkom 2004 blev starkt kritikerrosad. Efter debuten har han även haft framgångar med böckerna Hanteringen av odöda (2005) och Pappersväggar (2006). Ajvide Lindqvist har placerat sig i en genre som visat sig vara av sällsynt karaktär i Sveirge, nämligen skräckgenren. I en intervju av med författaren presenterar Lina Kalmteg hans egna kommentarer om romanen Låt den rätte komma in:? Jag ville skriva en alternativ vampyrhistoria.

The basic principle of the integrated school according to the Salamanca Declaration is that all children, whenever possible, should be taught together, regardless of any difficulties or diversity. It has been shown that students with neuropsychiatric disorders are having much more difficulties to achieve the targets than the average student. Pupils with neuropsychiatric syndrome will always be present in school and we who are working in the business must be better at learning to adapt to them so that they too can achieve proficiency in school.Mathematics is perhaps the topic that Swedish students generally have most problems with,and it will not obviously be easier if you have some form of neuropsychiatric disability.In our future role as special education teachers, we will mentor and support other teachers in the complex educational environment that exists today. The aim that has been built up is thus partly to explore how mathematics teachers work with included students with neuropsychiatric disorders, as well as how teachers wishing to become supervised by specialeducation teachers in mathematics. The study is conducted from a sociocultural perspective.A sociocultural perspective on learning means that all people are learning all the time in social settings.

The climate changes that are occuring in the world have resulted in that the EU callingfor a 20 % reduction in energy consumption to the year 2020, to reach that goal theEU want the public sector to go forth as a good example. Västfastigheter owns andmanage the hospital buildings in the Västra Götaland region. To be able to reducetheir energy usage Västfastigheter has hired several consulting firms to chart out theenergy consumption on each hospital building. The biggest energy savings potentialhave been calculated and what the cost will be to perform each action. The energyaudit have been completed and stand as the decision basis for Västfastigheter?s choiceon which action packages that should be implemented.

Reinforcement is of great importance to fulfill the dimensioned strength of a concrete construction. This requires that the work needs to be carried out with adequate results that neither endangers the workers or the safety of the construction. Progressive development of the planning phase, construction documents, and construction methods is in constant need since the technology constantly evolves.In order for contractors to be able to get acceptances from their quotations requires that they have to increase their working pace in order to be able to leave a quotation with a lower price than the competition.Due to the increasing pace the different parts involved in the construction process is subjected to time pressure. The design stage, construction documents, work preparation and the execution are all affected when everything has to be finished quickly. To avoid problems, it is required that all parts are able to deliver good quality solutions and results under the influences of time pressure, which is not always easy.
