  English abstract:	The general interest for environmental and climate issues has been on the rise the last several years and demands for media to respond with a wider coverage have risen with it. This study investigates how the editorial staff of a newspaper can work to increase reporting regarding the environment and climate in their day-to-day reporting. Did Sydsvenskan’s climate and environment push ’Vårt klimat, vår miljö’ from August of 2018, affect journalist’s knowledge and further reporting of these issues? A quantitative content analysis of the reporting regarding climate and environment spanning a period of six months and interviews with five reporters employed by the newspaper were carried out. Results show the reporting of climate and environmental issues increased after the push. However, correlating the rise of reporting with the push may be impossible, as the reporting likely would have risen in any case with the general increase of media coverage the climate and environment got during this time period. Journalists interviewed reported a rise in their knowledge specific to these issues, however the commitment of the editorial staff seems to have been neglected. Finally, this study discusses possibilities of future reporting regarding climate and environmental issues.
  Swedish abstract:	Allmänintresset för miljö- och klimatfrågor har ökat de senaste åren och från många håll ställs det större krav på media att rapportera mer om de här frågorna. Med det i åtanke undersöker studien hur tidningsredaktioner kan arbeta för att integrera miljö och klimat i den vardagliga nyhetsrapporteringen. Utifrån Sydsvenskans miljö- och klimatsatsning Vårt klimat, vår miljö från augusti 2018, är syftet att undersöka om satsningen påverkade reportrarnas kunskap och deras vidare rapportering av miljö- och klimatfrågor. Undersökningen gjordes med hjälp av kvantitativ innehållsanalys av tidningens miljö- och klimatrapportering under sex månader och en kvalitativ intervjuundersökning där fem reportrar på tidningen intervjuades angående arbetet med satsningen. Resultaten visar att Sydsvenskans rapportering om miljö- och klimat ökade efter satsningen. Det går dock inte att säkerställa sambandet mellan den ökade rapporteringen och satsningen, då den troligtvis hade ökat i samband med en konstaterad generell ökning i svensk media av de här frågorna under samma period. Reportrarna upplevde en ökad kunskap, dock verkar inte engagemanget på redaktionen ha upprätthållits och studien diskuterar hur arbetet med fortsatt rapportering skulle kunna se ut.

• Kuratorer i en sjukvårdsmiljö
  Taseva, Natalie  : Malmö universitet/Hälsa och samhälle (2019)	Bachelor thesis

  

  

  English abstract:	The aim of this study was to investigate how curators working in health care, where Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opiate Addiction is operate, experience their work with patients, despite the uncertainty surrounding their work tasks and the importance of good relationship in social work. The empirical data was collected through four semi-structured interviews with social workers working in a medication-assisted treatment for opiate addiction. Furthermore, KASAM and systems theory has been used as the theoretical starting points. The collected empiricism has been analyzed on the basis of the two theories and the state of knowledge. One of the central points in this study was the uncertainty surrounding the informants tasks. The informants reasoned about being alone in their profession of social work, and the challenges they face when conducting a social work in a medical context. Another aspect that the informants portrayed was the importance of relationship building and approaching in the work with their patients.
  Swedish abstract:	Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur kuratorer som arbetar inom hälso- och sjukvården, där LARO-mottagningar är verksamma, upplever sitt arbete med patienterna, trots den oklarhet som råder kring deras arbetsuppgifter, samt hur de ser på vikten av goda relationer i ett socialt arbete. Empirin samlades in genom fyra semistrukturerade intervjuer med kuratorer som arbetar på LARO-mottagningar. Vidare har KASAM och systemteori använts som teoretiska utgångspunkter. Den insamlade empirin har analyserats utifrån de två valda teorierna och kunskapsläget. En av de centrala utgångspunkterna i denna studie var att informanterna redogjorde för den oklarhet som råder kring deras arbetsuppgifter. Informanterna resonerade kring deras arbete som ensamprofession och de utmaningar man ställs inför när man ska bedriva ett socialt arbete i en medicinsk kontext. En annan aspekt som informanterna skildrar var hur viktigt relationsskapande och bemötande är i förändringsarbetet med patienterna.

• Ledarskap inom äldreomsorgen - ur undersköterskors perspektiv
  Usanovic, Britney Nicole  : Malmö universitet/Hälsa och samhälle (2019)	Bachelor thesis

  

  

  English abstract:

  Research within the subject of leadership has grown over the past 60 years with the common aim of finding certain styles of leadership which will lead to productive work teams and an effective organization. Research about leadership in a nursing home setting is limited and tends to highlight leadership from the leader’s perspective, eliminating staff's, in this case nurses', view on the topic. Simultaneously, the nurse turnover has reached an all-time high pointing to dysfunctional leadership or a lack thereof as an important contributing factor. The aim of this study is to high point nurses’ views on leadership, particularly its role in making well-functioning teams to lower the turnover and provide a better ground for an effective organization. The goal is to find styles of leadership that create work satisfaction, pride and motivation within teams. The study focuses on different ways in which a leader can contribute to these factors. After performing five qualitative interviews with nurses from two nursing homes in a small town in southern Sweden the results show that there is not one leadership style that does best in reaching the above factors. What determines the most suited style of leadership is the current situation and maturity of the team, where different situations and levels of maturity demand different things from the leader. The conclusion is that a leader must be flexible enough to adapt one’s leadership style to meet the needs of the organization and its employees. Furthermore, the results show that autonomy, good relations and shared goals within the team are important motivational factors. There is a lack of research focusing on the practical approaches to a flexible leadership, which is why further research within the field would be beneficial. Likewise, more extensive research on leadership in nursing homes is desired. This study may contribute to a better understanding of nurses’ views on leadership in a nursing home setting, providing important insights to social workers working or wanting to work within this setting.

• Still a stronghold of welfare governance? A Critical Reading of the E...
  Rudolf-Cibien, Miguel  : Malmö universitet/Kultur och samhälle (2019)	Bachelor thesis

  

  

  English abstract:

  In the last decades, the EU’s policy on education has become increasingly geared towards serving the economy. While some have been quick to label these changes as neoliberal, this is not such an obvious analysis considering that European education systems are still well-known for their welfare governance. This research attempts to clarify the relation between the EU educational policy and neoliberalism. Inspired by post-foundational discourse theory, we conducted a discourse analysis of three key European Union educational policy documents. Extending on a frame of 20 years, our analysis identifies an incremental neoliberalization of the policy as well as a number of conclusive similarities with neoliberal rationality. We contribute in showing how the economic dimension of the EU educational policy has not so much replaced the other objectives than it has incorporated them. We also show how contemporary educational policy continues the dynamic of neoliberalization, hinting a further dismantlement of the welfare states system in Europe. Our study stands to reinforce the conceptual link between European education and neoliberalism and as such contributes to the understudied ideational perspectives on the topic, complementing some shortcomings left by the mainstream theories, like neo-functionalism and liberal intergovernmentalism.
