Tidigare forskning har visat att arbetet i olika aspekter har stor betydelse för människans psykiska välmående. Vi valde att undersöka hur det är att ha varit utanför arbetsmarknaden och att sedan arbeta i ett socialt företag. Syftet med studien var att skapa en förståelse kring vilka behov arbetet uppfyller samt vilken betydelse ett socialt företag har för en individ. Hur upplever individer den period de var arbetslösa? Uppfyller det sociala företaget något särskilt behov för individen? Det teoretiska ramverk vi använde oss av i studien var; den latenta deprivationsmodellen, humanitärt arbete samt inklusion/exklusion.Vårt empiriska material samlades in genom sju semistrukturerade intervjuer med individer som varit utan arbete men som idag arbetar i ett socialt företag.

Arbetslöshet är ett omfattande ämne med fokus på psykisk hälsa på grund av försämrad ekonomi. Psykisk ohälsa är ett svårdefinierat begrepp som bland annat innefattar sömnsvårigheter, ängslan och ångest. Under perioden 2004 till 2005 rapporterade arbetslösa individer i Sverige psykisk ohälsa i större utsträckning än arbetande individer. Att vara arbetslös och förälder till barn i förskoleåldern kan vara påfrestande. Studier som undersökt förskolans betydelse för arbetslösa föräldrar har påvisat positiva upplevelser av förskolan under självupplevd psykisk ohälsa.Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka arbetslösa småbarnsföräldrars psykiska hälsa och deras upplevelser av hur öppna förskolan i Västerås påverkar den.

Att inte veta om att man har en psykisk funktionsnedsättning kan påverka individens självbild, vilket även kan resultera i utanförskap i samhället. Detta kan ha lett till att man aldrig fått kontakt med arbetsmarknaden eller brytt sig om att ta kontakt med Arbetsförmedlingen. Syftet med denna uppsats var att utforska om det fanns en gemensam nämnare till att personer med psykisk funktionsnedsättning som deltog i projektet Unga till Arbete i Gävle fick ett arbete, samt att öka förståelsen för hur de upplevde mötet med myndigheter generellt och med Arbetsförmedlingen i synnerhet.  Fyra intervjuer med personer som hade diagnosen psykisk funktionsnedsättning, varav två av dem kvinnor och två män genomfördes och bearbetades med induktiv tematisk analys. Ur analys av intervjumaterialet genererades följande övergripande teman: bristande uppmärksamhet, oförståelse samt undermålig samverkan mellan myndigheter och professionella, vilka gällde och följt deltagarna från tidig skolgång fram till vuxen ålder. Resultatet visade att projektet Unga till Arbete i Gävle hjälpt respondenterna att få stöd och därmed ett arbete.

Uppsatsen inleds med en redogörelse av faktorer som bidragit till den höga organisationsgrad vi åtnjuter idag. Fackföreningarnas struktur behandlas I första delen av uppsatsen.

The emerging Swedish suburbs of the 1960- 1970s started out as a utopian vision: a new city for the modern people. Media presented a different view and emphasized the inhuman livingenvironment and the social problems of the suburbs. Nationwide there have been local attempts to avoid this negative publicity by adjusting identified suburban problems. Due to medial presentation the suburbs are still associated with segregation, criminality and social problems. The presentation of suburbs and immigrants affects not only the process of integration and the general public idea of integration processes, but also the individual perception of themselves and their living.

Denna studie undersökte filmen Länge Leve Livets påverkan på ungdomars attityder till alkohol i samband med bilkörning samt hur ungdomar vill ha budskapet förmedlat. I undersökningen gjordes tre fokusgruppintervjuer, á fyra till sex deltagare, och en sammanställning av Vägverkets redan genomförda enkätundersökning. I fokusgrupperna diskuterade gymnasieungdomarna dels teman som framkom av enkätresultatet, och dels frågor som speglade deras attityder. Resultatet visade att de flesta av ungdomarna har blivit berörda av filmen, och att Länge Leve Livet har förstärkt ungdomarnas befintliga attityd i större utsträckning än den har förändrat den. Vad som också visas i studien är att ungdomarna anser att ämnet är viktigt att diskutera och att fler vill se ett ökat arbete med alkohol i samband med bilkörning i Sverige..

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur ungdomars identitetsskapande påverkas ur ett stigmatiserat bostadsområde. Vi har därför utrett hur ungdomar upplever den mediala framställningen av bostadsområdet, därtill hur det kan inverka på deras identitetsskapande. Metoden baserades på en kvalitativ ansats där sex ungdomar har intervjuats från Stockholms förort Husby. Teorier som har tillämpats i vår analys var Goffmans stigma teori, Ristilammis förortsdiskurs samt en teoretisering av ?vi? och ?dem?.

According to our apprehension, work of integration is commonly considered managed in the main best through the labour market. Since this path is not available to everybody we wanted to find out how work of integration also can be practised in other areas. The purpose of this paper is to, with focus on children and youth, find out and analyze in what way the people working locally in residential areas and in associations, reflects around integration in general and within their own business, plus in what way they pursue local work of integration practically. The method we have used is qualitative, with unstructured, individual interviews. Our seven respondents within local authority, church and sport clubs, have told us about their work from a perspective of integration.

In this project I have worked with creating a new kind of room in a hospital enviroment for children. The main purpose of the project has been to form a secure and positive experience for the patient while visiting a specific room at the department of childrens physiologi, at Drottning Silvias Children- and youth hospital in Gothenburg.The project was based on questions like how it is possible to move the focus from the unsecure and scary, to something secure and positive, when the patient is going through an testing situation.The target gruop included a wide age span (0-16 years old), therefore I have worked with a theme, H2O, that works for diffrent ages. In the room, I have applicated the theme in different levels that is changeable depending on the age of the patient.During the project I have presented my ideas for the staff at the hospital. We have discussed their problems, what they wish in their working enviroment and how they experience the situation for the patients. I have also asked the patients how they experience the specific room today.The result of the project is a visual idea of how you can create a room, that you don?t exepect to find in a hospital..

Background: Sweden and the rest of the world went through the biggest financial crisis at the end of 2008 since the 1930s. The major Swedish banks have goodwill related to their acquisitions inside and outside Scandinavia. Swedbank, SEB and Nordea has acquired in the Baltic countries and Russia, however Handelsbanken has established itself in Great Britain. The crisis in the Baltic countries led that real wages fell, unemployment rose, real estate prices collapsed and the number of borrowers who had trouble repaying their loans increased rapidly. All this led to the problem of impairment of goodwill in the Swedish banks that had expanded rapidly in the Baltic countries.Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the application of IFRS 3 in Swedish banks before, during and after the financial crisis, and to investigate the low-downs in the four majorSwedish banks in 2006-2010.Completion: The study is primarily based on the case studies by the examination of the annual reports from all banks as well as evaluation of the interviews.The authors have chosen to makea strategic choice of a small number of cases through the concentration on the impairment of goodwill in the bank sector of Sweden.Results: The result of this study is that there are problems for banks in implementation of IFRS 3 in practice because of insufficient information in the banks' financial statements.Generous estimates used in the calculation of impairment testing.

Our purpose was to examine how social workers, within the child- and youth psychiatry, works with aggressive children and which theoretical perspectives they use. The questions we wanted to examine were how they worked with these children, how they motivated their work and which theoretical perspectives they used. The method that was used was a qualitative interview, where six social workers were interviewed. The result showed that their work foremost was based on conversation methods and all social workers emphasized the importance of a near cooperation with the parents since they considered that parents had the strongest influence on the children. Some social workers focused foremost on altering children's aggressive behavior while others focused on understanding the meaning of the behavior.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is a social-psychological relevance in allowing animals to be involved in therapy work. I have examined if the animals may contribute to effects on human relationships between caregivers and patients, and if the animals can contribute to helping patients to achieve better well-being. Through previous research and a quantitative interview I have received answers to the following questions: How are animals used in the treatment work? How do animals affect the relationship between caregiver-patient? In what ways do animals in treatment affect relationships between people? How do the professionals who work with animals believe that animals can affects the patient? I have interviewed people working in different kinds of treatment work using animals. The areas examined include work with animals at youth care, police, disability care, elderly care and school.

The young people who took part are students in ninth grade. We wanted to get a great sample so that the study would be representative of the population.

This thesis aim to investigate the living conditions among marginalized habitants of suburbs in the Swedish welfare state. To approach an understanding of the complexity of marginalized urban areas, this thesis focus on studying the Stockholm suburb Husby in a context of the May riots 2013.The research method used is qualitative interviews with seven informants, who have a connection to the Husby area.The theories applied to the empirical material is Gösta Esping-Andersens theory on welfare state regimes and Loïc Wacquants theory on advanced marginality, also known as ?The new urban poverty?.By observing the complexity of the Husby riots in a contextual aspect of the Swedish welfare state and the living situation in Husby, the analysis has shown that the Swedish welfare model is going through a changing process. This process means a shift from a social democratic welfare model towards a more liberal regime, with an increased privatization of public welfare and a focus on individual responsibility regarding the citizens own living conditions. Husby as an area is characterized by a low socioeconomic status, a high level of unemployment and poor school results.
