The purpose of this study was to examine domestic adoptions in Sweden, and also compare the Swedish adoption system to the Canadian adoption system. I wanted to find out why there are so few domestic adoptions in Sweden, and how it has changed over the years. I also wanted to know why there is such a large difference between Sweden and Canada regarding adoptions.I interviewed five social workers to find out what attitudes the social services have regarding adoptions. My other questions were how the childs best interest is considered when a parent wants to place a child in an adoptivefamily, and which parents decide to place their child instead of keeping it.I found that the social services are reluctant to place children in adoptivefamilies because their main goal is to keep biological families intact. In Canada the social services goal is to provide the child with a safe and stable home.There is no longer any stigma surrounding single mothers and well developed welfaresystems enable most to keep their children.

Syfte Syftet med denna uppsats är att, utifrån ett fingerat fall, klargöra vilka faktorer som idag har störst betydelse för framgången av en direktinvestering i en produktionsanläggning för tillverkning av plastdetaljer i öst- och västeuropa. Syftet är också att utvärdera och förbättra den arbetsmodell för tillvägagångssätt vid lokaliseringsval som använts. Metod Uppsatsen bygger både på en kvalitativ och på en kvantitativ metod, vilka används parallellt. Arbetsgången följer den systematiska modell som Young et al föreslår, applicerad på ett simulerat fallscenario, och nödvändig information för de olika momenten i modellen är inhämtad från litteraturstudier, intervjuer och en enkät. Slutsatser Ett beslut om nyetablering genom direktinvestering kräver noggranna förberedelser, vilka både är tids- och resurskrävande.

There is a lack of consensus within politics on how to deal with the so-called youth problem that exists in vulnerable areas. The politicians' positions are communicated in speech and writing and influence the majority society's attitude to children in vulnerable areas. Children are at the same time a vulnerable group in society. They are dependent on adults and need their guidance and support throughout their upbringing. In vulnerable areas live children whose health is affected by social and economic vulnerability and discrimination from the outside world. By looking into how hegemonic masculinity as norms are formulated in Swedish political documents, in relation to experiences of stigmatization and violence among children from vulnerable areas, this study wishes to examine if children?s right to a life without violence is being respected in vulnerable areas.

The freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera is an endangered species. To survive, the young mussels demand a fairly coarse bottom material containing an appropriate quantity of organic substrate to survive without suffocating. In order to estimate if a bottom is suitable for juvenile mussels, samples of the sediment are needed. To obtain samples a sampling device called the Mulv collector has been developed within this project. Bottom samples were collected from 18 stations in 4 south Swedish streams, Vramsån, Kling-storpsbäcken, Brönnestadsån and Bräkneån.
