A survey was conducted covering the student?s personal experiences and opinions. Furthermore, an interface test of the website was performed.

Denna studie behandlar mödravården i Kina och med bas i empiriskt material i form av skrivna källor ämnar studien visa på mönster i fördelningen av resurser i landet. Detta genom en undersökning av mödravård samt denna vårds tillgänglighet för kvinnorna i landet. Detta mönster analyseras sedan mot tre teoretiska perspektiv; konvergens/ divergens, urban bias och relative deprivation för att se vilket av dessa perspektiv som bäst förklarar tillgängligheten av mödravård. Studien visar på stora skillnader mellan regioner och individer och drar slutsatsen att trots att stora skillnader kan iakttas mellan stad och landsbygd, finns det också betydande skillnader inom regioner. Privatiseringen av hälsovården under de senaste decennierna har gjort att vårdens tillgänglighet i allt större utsträckning är beroende av den enskilde individens ekonomi snarare än dennes geografiska position..

The purpose of this study was to examine the process of developing an identity as a skateboarder during adolescence. Our aim was to, from the actors? point of view explore what impact their values, experiences and thoughts have on their identity as individuals as well as a collectivity. We also investigated which symbols that are significant for this group. For this essay a qualitative method was used; we conducted nine individual interviews and one group interview with young skaters from the ages of 15-17.

As the staffing agency business is rapidly growing and suffering from accidents resulting in higher sick leave than in other businesses, it is of great interest to analyze which responsibilities prevail between the customer companies and the staffing agencies, when it comes to working environment for hired staff.The purpose of this essay is to clarify the distribution of responsibilities between customer companies and staffing agencies, regarding working environment. I would also like to analyze which consequences this distribution of responsibilities may lead to.To be able to answer these questions, I have chosen to use the legal dogmatic method together with the sociology of law method. I have studied legal sources, literature and also interviewed three persons who are active within the staffing agency business; one person from the Swedish Work Environment Authority, one person from the employers? side and one person from the employees? side.The conclusion of my survey is that the SAM-responsibility is divided equally between staffing agencies and customer companies, since the customer company who hires staff is equated with an employer. The employer must also ensure that there is an organized work adaptation and rehabilitation function within the company.

Working life is an arena that often reflects attitudes that already exist in our society. When alcohol- and drug abuse is detected among employees the employer has a statutory responsibility for rehabilitation. But the way how these employees gets to be treated is also influenced by attitudes. The purpose of this essay was to illustrate from a gender perspective how women's and men's alcohol- and drug abuse occur in working life and how the attitudes in our society towards their abuse reflect on trade life. Referring that, our intention was also to examine which consequences are given of how the individual is treated.

The thesis is about integration in the city and how integration can be improved through physical planning. Segregation can result in changing peoples? prerequisites in our society. Opportunities in life become dependent on what area of the city you live in or where you grew up. Integration denotes acceptance for all people, while different cultural and ethnic identities are preserved at the same conditions for everyone.

Landscape architecture is a visual profession, but other senses also affect our interpretation of a place. Sounds can give us a lot of information about an environment, and they are often perceived as positive. Despite this, research about outdoor sounds most often focus on the reduction of unwanted sounds ? noise ? but the absence of noise does not result in a good soundscape. To accomplish this, sounds we appreciate are needed.

The aim of this study was to, using previously collected data from self-declared antisocial behaviour questionnaires, examine if the crime frequency has been different between adolescents that have either been referred to two different forms of open care in social service, child and youth psychiatric inpatient care or have been sent to Homes for Specialised Supervision. The criminality frequency and the most common crimes committed were compared between the study groups and further between genders in each particular study group. Statistical significance testing was used and the results of the survey revealed that juvenile delinquents that had committed severe criminal acts were represented in all four groups. The study group with adolescents in national care was the most different from other groups. These youths seemed to have had a lower crime frequency than the other groups with the exception assault and robbery.

The purpose is to explore and describe norms and values concerning emotions and emotional expression inSweden and Greece from an emotionsociological perspective. Do emotional regimes on a national level existand if they do, how do they differ? To answer this question qualitative interviews have been conducted withnine Greek/Swedes, men and women of different ages, who have lived in both countries and who speak bothlanguages. A quantitative survey study, employing a survey previously used in a Swedish study about emotions,has also been undertaken. Previous studies have shown that emotional regimes do differ historically and acrosscultures, but no study so far has focused on the differences between examples of North European and SouthEuropean cultures.The theoretical framework consists mainly of Hochschild´s theories about feeling/display rules and emotionwork, but the analysis also draws on Collin´s theory of interaction ritual chains and on Sociology of Emotionsmore broadly.The results suggest that different national regimes can be distinguished primarily in terms of display rules andin the skills of emotional alternations.

The object with this bachelor thesis is to illustrate if equality is present during the interaction between female and male players in the World of Warcraft with focus on the female players conception. The main question is: How does gender matter in the interaction between female and male players in WoW? This question is particularly interesting because WoW is in its own construction neutral in regards to gender in the aspect that gender does not hinder or benefit your avatar when it comes to the avatars development or possibilities. This bachelor thesis describes the views three of female WoW players and how they perceive the interaction with male players with focus on equality. The informants? personal thoughts and experiences are described.

Uppsatsen presenterar och problematiserar tre integrationsprojekt på Herrgården i Rosengård. Den frågeställning som växte fram lyder: Hur ska man effektivisera integrationsprojekt för att kunna uppnå bättre och snabbare resultat? Uppsatsens primära syfte är att visa på viktiga nyckelfaktorer och arbetssätt som spelar stor roll vid integration. Vilka faktorer ska man tänka på, och hur ska man kommunicera ut projektet, vilka kanaler ska man använda. I uppsatsen försöker jag skapa förståelse för vad som är viktigt att tänka på vid konstruktion och tillämpning av integrationsprojekt, samt hur man kan anpassa integrationsprojekt till befolkningen.

Max Webers teorier är klassiska inom sociologin. Denna d-uppsats syfte var att undersöka om Webers idealtyp byråkrati går att använda för att analysera en nutida organisation - Försäkringskassan. Kan Försäkringskassan utifrån valda teorier ses som byråkratisk och vad innebär detta för organisationen? För att få information om Försäkringskassan och dess organisation har olika typer av dokument undersökts. Denna information har sedan analyserats i förhållande till Webers byråkratibegrepp och en del kritiska röster om Weber.I uppsatsen framkom att Försäkringskassan är en byråkratisk organisation enligt Webers kriterier och att idealtypen byråkrati fortfarande är användbar - åtminstone på Försäkringskassan.

Studien bygger på en offerundersökning genomförd på två gymnasieskolor i Malmö under våren 2005. Sammanlagt svarade 243 ungdomar födda mellan år 1984-1989 på ett frågeformulär om utsatthet för brott. Syftet med studien var att deskriptivt beskriva utsattheten för brott för gymnasieungdomar i Malmö, främst under den senaste ettårsperioden. Studien ville dessutom belysa hur de unga brottsoffren ser på polisens bemötande samt beskriva frekvens och anledningar till att man anmäler samt inte anmäler brott. De frågeställningar som jag valt att fokusera min undersökning kring är:* Hur ser utsattheten för brott ut för gymnasieungdomar i Malmö?* Finns det möjligtvis skillnader inom den undersökta gruppen beroende på kön och bakgrund?* Polisanmäler ungdomarna när de blivit utsatta för brott och i så fall varför/varför inte?* Hur upplever ungdomarna polisens bemötande vid själva anmälningstillfället?Deltagarna har själva fått definiera begreppet brott, då öppna frågor har dominerat enkäten.Undersökningen visar att trots ökade insatser från polisen upplever ca en tredjedel av ungdomarna att de råkat ut för brott det senaste året.

Enligt Blekinge Polismyndighets mångfalds- och likabehandlingsplan är rekrytering av fler kvinnor till chefsfunktioner ett av målen för ökad jämställdhet. En åtgärd som vidtagits för att uppnå målsättningen inom myndigheten är Kvinnligt nätverk. I 10 år har nätverket bedrivits men Blekinge Polismyndighet har fortfarande det lägsta antalet kvinnliga chefer i landet. Vilken betydelse har Kvinnligt nätverk på individ- och organisationsnivå? Tidigare forskning pekar på flera olika faktorer till att kvinnor inte avancerar i samma utsträckning som män.
