Today, the world contains a large number of important non-profit organizations (NPOs) that seek to maintain the welfare of people and animals and to preserve the natural world. NPOs are extremely dependent on funds from the public which has resulted in severe competition between these organizations. This has also come as a result of the cut down of government support and a shortage of donations. Their lack of financial resources indicates that NPOs around the world face major challenges and are therefore in need of customized tools to increase their revenue and ensure their survival. With the purpose of increasing donations towards NPOs, this study aims to research how a media object can be developed and marketed in Bali to motivate tourists into donating money to the Bali Animal Welfare Association (BAWA) which is located in Canguu, Bali. By doing this, NPOs can use this research as tool for application within their own organization to increase their revenues.The media object that was chosen for this research was a poster, placed in the streets of Canggu, Bali and was selected because it has been shown that visual communication is a powerful tool for encouraging prosocial human behavior. The aim was to document how the media object affected levels of tourist engagement and ultimately their motivation to donate money to an NPO. A number of theories of motivation and behavior were used to form the foundation for this research. The methodology used included qualitative data collection by way of interviews, observations of local conditions pertinent to tourist interaction with media objects, as well as information gathered through a focus group involving local tourists. Research Through Design (RTD) was the framework that was used to structure the process for the creation and the testing of the prototype (the media object). The RTD included four phases, two of which were not completed due to complications involving the COVID-19 pandemic. The research concluded that the environment, attitudes towards legitimacy and emotional engagement all played a crucial role for the effectiveness and ultimately the success of a media object. Furthermore, it was concluded that there is a need for extended research on tourists’ behavior as well as consumer behavior, in relation to donors, in order to fully understand how a media object should be developed to motivate a tourist to donate money to an NPO.

I Sveriges val 2018 fick åtta partier mandaten i Riksdagen: M, C, S, V, L, KD, SD och MP. Partiernas organisation finns på tre nivåer. Partiföreningen finns på lokal nivå och omfattar vanligtvis en kommun. Partidistriktet kallas den länsvisa organisationsnivån. Distriktsorganisationer är sammanknutna i en riksorganisation. Lokala partiföreningar är registrerade som ideella föreningar.  På årsmöte väljer medlemmar styrelsen, kassör, revisorer och revisorssuppleanter. Revisorer valda på årsmötet kan vara en yrkesverksam revisor eller en lekmannarevisor det vill säga någon som ställer upp ideellt och som inte yrkesmässigt arbetar med revision. Revisorn skall ha en kontrollerande funktion i föreningen därför kommer det bli lärorikt att studera hur revisorerna lever upp till sin roll i svenska lokala partiföreningar.  Revisorn roll i partiföreningar handlar om vilka möjligheter som finns för att kunna utföra det uppdrag som revisorn har i dessa föreningar. Det finns både interna och externa faktorer som påverkar revisorns handlingsutrymme. Dessa faktorer studerades för att skapa en tydligare bild av revisorns roll i lokala partiföreningar.  Frågeställning: Vilka faktorer påverkar revisorernas handlingsutrymme i lokala partiföreningar?  Syftet med denna studie är utforska faktorerna som påverkar revisorernas handlingsutrymme i dessa föreningar.  Slutsats: samtliga intervjuade revisorer i de lokala partiföreningarna upplever att deras handlingsutrymme räcker gott och väl. Revisorerna är medvetna om sin kontrollerande roll. Deras granskningsarbete utgör också ett stöd och trygghet för medlemmar och för styrelsen.  Resultatet kan användas för att öka kunskap om revisorns roll i lokala partiföreningar och göra partiföreningar medvetna om vilka faktorer som påverkar revisorernas handlingsutrymme samt klargöra vikten av dessa när partiföreningen utser revisorer i framtiden. / In Sweden's 2018 elections, eight parties were given the mandate in Parliament: M, C, S, V, L, KD, SD, MP. The parties' organization exists on three levels: party associations at the municipal level and district organizations linked together in a national organization. Party associations at the municipal level are registered as non-profit associations.  During annual meetings, members elect the board, treasurer, auditors, and deputy auditors. Auditors elected at the annual meeting may be a professional accountant or a lay auditor, i.e. someone who does not professionally work with auditing but who is volunteering. The auditor has a controlling function in the association, so it will be instructive to study the role of the auditors in Swedish party associations at the municipal level.  The role of the auditor in party associations is about what possibilities exist to be able to do their job, which the auditor has in these associations. There are several internal and external factors that affect the auditor's discretion. These factors were explored to create a clear picture of the auditor's role in party associations at the municipal level.  There is no previous research on which factors affect the auditor's discretions in party associations. The result can be used to increase knowledge of the auditor's role the municipal level as well as to make party associations aware of the factors that affect the auditors' scope and clarify the importance of these when the party association appoints auditors in the future.  Question: What factors affect the auditors' discretions for party associations at municipal level?  The conclusion of the study is that all auditor in party associations feel that their discretion is more than enough. The auditors are aware of their controlling role. Their audit work it is support and security to the members as well as the board.  The purpose of this study is to probe the factors that affect the auditor's discretion within these associations.

How is the role of non-profit organizations constructed in the Czech online sphere? This diploma thesis tries to answer this question based on a content analysis of articles in the six most-read online newswebsites in the Czech Republic and users' discussions connected to them in 2015-2019. The theoretical basis of the work is the media construction of reality, which the author tries to apply in practice to the topic of the non-profit sector using the method of media framing. Qualitative content analysis in the research succeeded in revealing four main frameworks by which Czech online news views non-profit organizations. The four frameworks also emerged from the analysis of user discussions under the articles. The comparison of these findings provided the author with the opportunity to find out how the discussant brings diversity to the Czech non-profit sector's media representation. The thesis's conclusion is devoted to evaluating the most critical research findings, which the author incorporated into the context of existing academic research of media representation of non-profit organizations in the news. As non-profit organizations' role in society is mostly influenced by the public image, this work provides comprehensive information on the roles that Czech online news and its readers attribute...

Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa är ett folkhälsoproblem som ökar nationellt och internationellt. I Sverige är den psykiska ohälsan ojämnt fördelad och den största ökningen går att se bland unga tjejer. Till följd av den överbelastade offentliga sektorn har den ideella sektorn kommit att utgöra ett viktigt komplement för att stötta personer med psykisk ohälsa, vilket är viktigt ur ett folkhälsoperspektiv. Att möta personer som lider av psykisk ohälsa kan dock vara påfrestande och omsättningen av volontärer är idag hög. Återkoppling från volontärorganisationen har visat sig vara av betydelse för att volontärer ska vilja stanna kvar i uppdraget. Därför är det av intresse att undersöka hur volontärer på Sveriges största stödorganisation för tjejer, Tjejzonen, upplever arbetet med att stötta tjejer med psykisk ohälsa samt den återkoppling de får från organisationen. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka volontärers upplevelser av att stötta tjejer med psykisk ohälsa på Tjejzonen samt vilken betydelse handledarnas återkoppling har för volontärerna i deras uppdrag. Metod: För att besvara studiens syfte har en kvalitativ ansats använts, där data samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer under våren 2022. Till studien valdes åtta deltagare ut genom ett målinriktat urval. Den insamlade datan analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet av dataanalysen resulterade i fem kategorier: Egen belöning, Emotionell påfrestning, Positiv arbetskultur, Varierande behov samt Kompetensutveckling. Bearbetningen av de fem kategorierna resulterade vidare i temat Värdet av att ingå i en gemenskap. Slutsats: Tjejzonens volontärer upplever att det finns en värdefull gemenskap som stärker dem i uppdraget och mildrar påfrestande situationer. Återkopplingen som ges av handledarna beskrivs vara en stark bidragande faktor till gemenskapen och framställs som viktig i kompetensutvecklingssyfte. Utöver återkopplingen från handledarna beskrivs det kollegiala stödet från andra volontärer vara av betydelse för känslan av gemenskap, vilket i sin tur föder en ökad motivation och känsla av meningsfullhet i uppdraget. / Background: Mental illness is a public health problem that is increasing nationally and internationally. In Sweden, mental illness is unevenly distributed and the largest increase can be seen among young girls. As a result of the congested public sector, the non-profit sector has become an important complement in supporting people with mental illness, which is important from a public health perspective. Meeting people who suffer from mental illness can, however, be stressful and the turnover of volunteers is today high. Feedback from the volunteer organization has proven to be important for volunteers’ willingness to stay in the assignment. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate how volunteers at Sweden's largest support organization for girls, Tjejzonen, experience the work of supporting girls with mental illness and the feedback they receive from the organization. Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate volunteers’ experiences of supporting girls with mental illness at Tjejzonen and what significance the supervisors’ feedback have for the volunteers in their assignments. Method: To answer the study's purpose, a qualitative approach has been used, where data was collected through semi-structured interviews in the spring of 2022. For the study, eight participants were selected through a goal-oriented selection. The collected data was analyzed with a qualitative content analysis. Results: The results of the data analysis resulted in five categories: Own reward, Emotional stress, Positive work culture, Varying needs and Skills development. The revision of the five categories resulted in the theme The value of being part of a community. Conclusion: Volunteers at Tjejzonen feel that there is a valuable community that strengthens them in the mission and soothes stressful situations. The feedback provided by the supervisors is described as a strong contributing factor to the community and is presented as important for competence development purposes. In addition to the feedback from the supervisors, the collegial support from other volunteers is described as being important for the feeling of community, which in turn breeds an increased motivation and sense of meaning in the assignment.

中國大陸自1978年改革開放之後，伴隨著經濟繁榮與社會開放，使得經濟、政治、文化等社會生活各方面都受到前所未有的衝擊，同時也為中國大陸的非營利組織帶來發展的契機，之後非營利組織也如雨後春筍般地迅速發展，雖然目前其發展仍處於初期階段，但其民間性正在不斷地強化；同時，非營利組織在社會福利、慈善救助、助學培訓、醫療保健、文化教育、生態環境等各方面的努力與社會影響，在中國大陸顯然地已成為一股重要的社會力量，而相關的研究與探討也在近幾年來大量地發表。 本文在於探討中國大陸非營利組織發展的產生背景、歷史發展、規模情形、法規制度、與市民社會發展的關係、目前所面臨的問題與困境，以及其未來發展的趨勢。並以中國青少年發展基金會為個案分析，希望透過文獻的分析與實地的訪談，以更加瞭解目前中國大陸非營利組織的發展情形。 而在近年來非營利組織迅速發展的同時，也面臨到一些問題與瓶頸，包括：政社不分、經費不足、人才缺乏、法律不健全等問題。總之，目前中國大陸的非營利組織仍處於轉型之中，且改革開放以來，中國大陸非營利組織發展雖然面臨到前所未有的機遇，但於此同時，也面臨到諸多的問題與挑戰。 / After reform and opening up in 1978, all aspects of mainland China, such as the economy, politics and culture affairs, were in an unprecedented state of shock. Meanwhile, the opportunity was given for the development of the non-profit organizations (NPO) which were growing rapidly in recent years. Though the development is still at the primary stage, the participation of citizens in NPOs is increasing gradually. NPOs have become an important force with their growing influence on the social welfare, kindly supports, healthcare, cultural and education affairs, and environmental protections. Much related research was published in recent years. The current study uses China Youth Development Foundation as an example to understand the development of NPOs in mainland China. The study focuses on its background, history, current situation, relevant regulations, relationship with the civil society, and future developments. The purpose of this study is to know more about the present development of NPOs in mainland China by methods of interviews and analyses. As NPOs develop rapidly in recent years, they are also facing some problems, such as their connections with politics, shortage of financial support and personnel, and insufficient regulation establishments. In general, the NPOs of mainland China are still in a period of transition. Since the reform and open market, NPOs have had a great opportunity for their development, but they are also experiencing many problems and challenges.
