Prostitution as a construction - The social worker in the tension between society and the individual Discussions about prostitution seems to be of large interest for different feminist groups. The main discussions are about whether people sell sex as a result of free will, or if prostitution is a part of patriarchal structures, and that people selling sex, have been forced to do so in one way, or

The aim of this study was to, through qualitative interviews, look at the roles of qualified mentors of teenagers with social problems such as criminality and addiction. The idea of qualified mentorship is quite new and has only been practiced in Sweden for a few years, which is why we thought it would be interesting to see how the work of the mentors have been conducted in the social service orga

Over the last 25 years a new asset class has been developed in Sweden. Inflation linked bonds which are issued by the Swedish national debt office.

Självreglering som medel att uppnå ett önskat eller kanske endast behövligt beteende inom olika samhällssektioner har en lång tradition i Sverige. Det var därför naturligt att resultatet av Förtroendekommissionens arbete genom Kodgruppen år 2004 resulterade i självreglering med en svensk kod för bolagsstyrning. Förtroendekommissionen tillsattes av regeringen som svar på den omfattande kritik som a

Denna uppsats behandlar vissa typer av avtal som ingås mellan två kommersiella parter och särskilt uppmärksammas avtal som föregåtts av någon form av förhandling.
