?En del tycker att den fria företagsamheten är en tiger som borde skjutas, andra menar att den är en ko som ska mjölkas, i själva verket är det hästen som drar hela lasset?. ?Den fria företagsamheten, mitt och ditt engagemang, och alla människors engagemang är ju det som gör att samhället utvecklas?.*Det är vad denna uppsats handlar om, företag och deras möjligheter att bli framgångsrika. Det finns inget givet recept eller sätt för ett företag att lyckas, utan för några går det bra och för andra mindre bra.

The aim of this study was to reach a deeper understanding of the process that occurs within the social services after receiving a notification according to Chapter 14, section 1, The Social Services Act. More specifically the focus of this study was to illustrate how social secretaries reason about children?s participation in the process, as well as to examine whether the legislative change, Chapter 11, section 1 a, The Social Services Act, has affected the process in any way. The study?s results reflect interviews with five social secretaries who are active in four different municipalities in southern Sweden.

The question of euthanasia has kept pre-occupying and agitating the minds of thinkers, sweeping the globe, pummelling pedagogy, assailing assumptions, and bludgeoning biases. Both the moralist, ethicist, theologian, psychologist, educationist, anthropologist, politician, physician, patient as well as the common man in the street are interested in it. This pervading interest simply arises out of the fact that euthanasia involves the question of life, and life is something that is a common denominator to all men.The controversy hinges on the fact that, there are divergent views on the moral question of euthanasia. While some would unflinchingly opt for euthanasia others would prefer to oppose it to the best of their strength, yet others will remain agnostic about it. But the issue here remains: is euthanasia in any way morally justified? Has human life an intrinsic value? Or is human life valuable only when it is healthy? Are we the ones who decide when to die? Has the physician any right to either assist or terminate the life of the patient simply on account of suffering? Has the patient any right to end his/her life? Are there some conditions in which euthanasia could be allowed? Is suffering meaningless?The topic of my project is: THE MORALITY OF EUTHANASIA IN THE LIGHT OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?S TEACHING.

This study discloses Swedish human service organizations and their methods of integrating unaccompanied children into the Swedish society. The purpose of the study is to investigate how social workers at HVB-homes for unaccompanied children depict their experience in and knowledge of how the unaccompanied children are integrated into Swedish society. The method of investigating the questions raised by the purpose of this thesis has been qualitative analysis of answers derived from interviewing personnel at HVB-homes for unaccompanied children. In doing so we have made use of a semi-structured method of interviewing the above-mentioned personnel. The data derived from these interviews has thereafter been analysed and filtered through the concept of integration and the theoretical formations human service organizations and street-level bureaucrats.

The aim of this study was to examine care managers and how they understand and use their discretion. We used a qualitative method and the data was gathered by semi-structured interviews. We interviewed eight care managers in four different municipalities in southern Sweden. The theoretical approach we used was Michael Lipsky?s theory about street-level bureaucracy.

This report discusses a method to detect divers in harbour environments usingpassive acoustic detection. The goal was to achieve as high detection as possiblewithout having too high false alarm rate. A short execution time was also desirable.By using the characteristic of an inhalation a band-pass filter was applied to the signalto improve the signal to noise ratio. After the filtering an energy estimation of thesignal was made. This energy estimation was later used in a frequency analysis, whichcould tell us if there were enough energy in the frequencies that correspond to adivers breathing frequency.

This study is about state officials who handle applications for sickness benefits and about municipal officials who handle applications for financial assistance. The purpose of this study is to explore the differences between the two professional roles regarding their conception about their exercise of authority, in terms of flexibility, individual adjustment, empathy and legal security.The study has a qualitative approach and is based on structured interviews with two state officials and two municipal officials. The questions that this study aims to answer are:- Is there a difference between state officials and municipal officials regarding their experience and use of flexibility? - Is there a difference between state officials and municipal officials regarding their perceptions of legal security, individual adjustment and empathy in their exercise of authority? - What kind of bureaucracy can you find in the two organizations?The results show that the state officials in this study have very limited flexibility due to legislation which makes their exercise of authority neither empathic nor individual. The municipal officials in this study state in their turn that the law entails broad flexibility and the opportunity for them to be empathic and to make individual decisions.

Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att belysa uppfattningar och erfarenheter hos personal inom Socialtjänsten i Stockholms stad och Stockholms Stadsmission vid val av klienter till projektet Bostad först. Syftet var även att se om projektet kan ha påverkat synen på hemlösa personer med missbruksproblematik. Studien utgick från en hermeneutisk utgångspunkt som bygger på sex semistrukturerade intervjuer med personal, som arbetar med klientarbete. Det teoretiska perspektiv som valdes för att analysera resultatet var människovårdande organisationer och Lipskys teori Street-Level Bureaucracy. Resultatet visar på att personalen uppfattar att missbruksproblematik, psykisk problematik, individuella faktorer och de ökande krav som finns i samhället är orsaker till hemlöshet.

Faith is a phenomenon that engages the individual into emotional, social and daily manners.Religion tends to engage the individual in different levels in the daily life. In the church communion, there is a belief to the traditional and the repeteated behaviour. This shared group is strength by ceremonies and rituals and people in this collective somehow experience another type of reality. This study has a social - psychological perspective and the purpose is to study people?s know-how of faith and why they seek religion in today´s secularized society.

This Master's thesis examines segregation between Swedes and immigrants in school, and more specifically segregation between the two elementary schools Vikingaskolan and Tunaskolan in Lund. This case provides a particularly interesting puzzle, since Lund doesn?t have any pronounced immigrant districts, and was also recognized nationally as best municipality for its schools (2004). In this thesis we try to understand the segregation between the two schools in Lund as an implementation dilemma.The theoretical framework applies a model designed by Lennart Lundquist, which includes three potential causes for implementation problems: the implementer doesn?t understand the decision, the implementer can?t apply the decision, the implementer doesn?t want to carry out the decision.

Under stor del av 1900-talet var det enligt nordiska byggnormer förbjudet att använda trästommar i byggnader med fler än två våningar. 1994 upphörde förbudet och istället infördes brandtekniska funktionskrav, vilket innebär att konstruktionen enbart måste uppfylla vissa krav och att material därefter kan väljas fritt. I detta examensarbete har jag undersökt hur flerfamiljshus skall utformas med hänseende till brand och yttre påverkan, samt hur trä som byggnadsmaterial kan begränsa den arkitektoniska utformningen. I Gävle finns för tillfället inga större flervåningshus utformade helt och hållet i trä, därför har studierna utförts i samarbete med Gävle kommun. Examensarbetet består av en teoretisk del och en tillämpningsfas i vilken förslag på byggnadsutformning arbetats fram, tänkt lokalisering för byggnaderna är Gävle Strand.Dokumentationer från liknande projekt visar att det varit relativt enkelt att få byggnader i trä att uppfylla de brandtekniska krav som ställs.

The purpose of this study was to understand what the professionals experiences are of stressed youth. We did a qualitative study with interviewing three school nurses, one welfare officer and two recreation leaders. Research is saying that stress is increasing among the youth and that girls are more stressed than boys. It also says that medium is a big consequent for that (ex. Brun M.

The North-American sociologist Michael Lipsky has characterized social workers as street-level bureaucrats with a substantial discretion in the relationship between the welfare state and its citizens. Within Lipsky´s theoretical framework social workers appear as a powerful group that socializes the citizens to uphold certain expectations towards the welfare state and its (re)distributional programs. From this point of view, it is important to learn more about social workers and the attitudes they express towards the welfare state. The aim of this study is to analyze how the welfare-political attitudes of future social workers are affected by their social background (e.g. class background and ancestral homeland).

När jag började på Digital Ljudproduktion program som tillhandahålls av BTH, var mitt syfte att lära mig allt om inspelningsmetoder av olika typer av ljud samt det bästa sättet att spela in olika ljudkällor och att uppnå bästa möjliga resultat i alla faser av arbetet (pre-produktion, produktion och efterproduktion). Exempelvis att välja den lämpligaste mikrofonen för inspelning av ett särskilt instrument kan vara svårt och ibland bör du tänka på avstånd, riktning eller/och vinkeln mellan mikrofonen och ljudkällan. Likaså, band med blås- (trumpet, saxofon) och slagverksinstrument (bongos, congas), som inte är vanliga här i Skandinavien, ger goda erfarenheter genom att spela in dem. Dessa exempel visar på behovet av att ha kapacitet till anpassning med syftet att nå bästa möjliga resultat. Att uppnå denna kapacitet var målet med detta projekt..
