Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka och belysa vad som motiverar vissa killar till att tillämpa våld som problemlösning i deras vardag utifrån dessa killars egna förståelse för sina våldshandlingar. För att ge en ökad förståelse för detta har en narrativ intervjumetod använts med livsberättelser som utgångspunkt. För att belysa detta ämne har vi använt oss av maktlöshetsteorin där bemästring av vanmakt ingår. Våra resultat visar på att dessa unga män sökte att genom våldshandlingar bemästra sin vardag genom att skaffa sig position inom gänget och ett rykte om att vara farlig. Att föreställningen om ?respekt? handlade om att ingjuta rädsla hos andra och hur detta tillsammans med bemästring blev en Motivator för våldet.

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the points of view of three groups of actors about their local learning center and its collaboration with the library. By interviewing groups of actors from the municipal sector, the library staff and students, I aim to investigate their associations of the learning centre, what kind of services it should offer, and how they understand the role of the library staff in specific collaboration between the public library and the adult education administration. The study design is based on Gunnar Grepperud?s and Terje Thomsen?s three missions for a local learning centre; the mission of a broker, a meeting place and a Motivator. I also use Carol Kuhlthau?s levels of mediation as an approach to investigate how the actors want the library staff to work in relation to the centre.

 ABSTRACTThis study focuses on immigrant women in Sweden and how their perceptions of resource loss may affect their motivation to learn Swedish. Focus group discussions were conducted with immigrant women who partake in a Swedish language learning project. Their Swedish language skills were very limited, and all of them had no or very few years of elementary level education. Results of the study suggest that the strongest Motivator to learn Swedish is its potential role in facilitating everyday activities.    .

An explorative study on the work motivation of employees at a retirement home. The three main factors are internal motivation, external motivation and control. A comparison between how important they estimate the different factors to be and how they experience them today reveals which factor is their key Motivator and which areas that need improvement.

And the amount of perceived control reflects the amount of creative and initiative behaviour of the individual.

The personnel policy program for the employees in studied municipality includes guidelines for the working environment, saying that health promoting activities is offered to all employees.                              Objective: To investigate how these activities were used and how the staff perceived the activities offered. The aim was also to find out how well the information about current health promotion efforts reached the staff.Method: A qualitative approach was used in the form of interviews. The sample consisted of municipal employees from seven different work sites.  A total of 12 women aged 32-52 years participated. The interviews were recorded and a hermeneutic theory was used to interpret the results.Results: The results showed that most informants used some form of fitness activity. In most cases health care-time was used for anything from walking to organized workouts. The great barrier was lack of information and lack of trained and dedicated health Motivators. In several cases, informants had no knowledge about what a health Motivator is supposed to do. The informants own suggestions for health promotion interventions included stress management and foot care.Conclusion: The survey showed that respondents were poorly informed about which wellness activities the municipality offered. The result could also be interpreted as a communication gap between the local authority, health Motivators and the employees. A request for group activities was detected.  .
