The purpose of our study is to see how the interaction between the social services and police work when a child under 15 years is suspected of crimes. What happens to the child from an agency perspective? How is the experience for the child and how do they get their voices heard? How is the professional perspective for a child when a child is suspected of a crime? What do the various authorities for short-term and long-term measures for the child? We have chosen to do a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews. The study includes six interviews with two police officers, three field secretaries and a social worker in two different municipalities. A medium sized municipality, and a larger community. The people we interviewed think differently about collaboration. The municipality have different workforms. In the smaller municipality works a social worker at the police station once or twice a week. While in the larger municipality the police and social worker work separately but together nonetheless. The result shows that they are not completely satisfied with the interaction that is today, but it takes a lot of time to build it up and it can always be better. Furthermore, the study shows that the lack of time and resource issues control much of social service work. For the analyzes we have used a theory of interaction. The result shows that the professionals are using the children’s perspective a lot when they are working with children who are suspected of crime.

I den här studien undersöks socialarbetares erfarenheter av samverkan i ärenden med våld inära relation. Våld i nära relationer är ett globalt folkhälsoproblem med stora sociala ochindividuella konsekvenser. Våld i nära relation innefattar fysiskt, psykiskt, sexuellt ochmateriellt våld men kan också yttras på sätt som försummelse, digitalt våld och ekonomisktvåld. De våldsutsatta har ofta komplexa behov som kräver insatser från många olika aktörervilket ställer höga krav på samverkan för att garantera ett så bra stöd som möjligt.Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur samverkan fungerar i arbetet med våld i närarelationer utifrån socialarbetares erfarenheter. För att kunna besvara studiens syfte ochfrågeställningar valdes en kvalitativ ansats som datainsamlingsmetod. Sex semistruktureradeintervjuer genomfördes med socialarbetare med erfarenhet av arbete med våld i närarelationer. Ett målstyrt urval användes för att rekrytera intervjupersoner till studien.Datamaterialet från intervjuerna analyserades med en kvalitativ tematisk analys.Studiens resultat visar att aktörer upplever samverkan som avgörande i arbetet med våld i närarelationer. Intervjupersonerna redogör för olika hämmande och främjande faktorer isamverkan med andra aktörer. De främjande faktorerna som framhålls i resultatet ärkommunikation, samsyn, personlig kontakt och respekt för varandras verksamheter ochsyften. De hämmande faktorerna för samverkan som förekommer i resultatet är brist påtydliga riktlinjer, sekretess och bristande ledning.

Mining is at the base of green technologies for a more sustainable future; however, responsible mining is not often achieved. This exploratory case study focuses on the case of the agreement between the US American mining company Albemarle and the local Indigenous communities that formed the Council of the Atacameño People, in Northern Chile. This agreement is part of Albemarle’s Corporate Social Responsibility approach and is seen as one of the positive examples of practices working towards mining that benefits the local community and limits the effects on the local environment. This case is explored through a deductive thematic analysis to explore and define the nature of the agreement: whether it can be classified as a cooperation or collaboration, after which the experiences of the Indigenous communities will be studied in a summative content analysis of social media posts which is visualized in a word cloud. The analysis shows that the agreement can be classified as a collaboration, however with important elements that are cooperative. Although this means that the agreement aims to include the Indigenous communities in several ways, it also highlights the fact that the Indigenous communities are not equal in the agreement and their goals are considered less in the process. The studied social media posts show that the Indigenous communities have shifted their perspective of Albemarle seemingly positively, notwithstanding that there are increasing expressions of worry about the future existence as communities. This thesis concludes that even though the agreement sounds promising on paper, the experiences of the Indigenous communities in the area are still that they are risking losing their culture and ecosystem. The local communities have formally consented to the mining practices by signing the agreements, but there is dissent among community members regarding their true attitudes. This is extremely worrisome as this thesis is focused on one of the most positive examples of CSR efforts within mining companies.

Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Entwicklung von RDF-Wissensbasen in verteilten kollaborativen Szenarien zu unterstützen. In dieser Arbeit wird eine neue Methodik für verteiltes kollaboratives Knowledge Engineering – „Quit“ – vorgestellt. Sie geht davon aus, dass es notwendig ist, während des gesamten Kooperationsprozesses Dissens auszudrücken und individuelle Arbeitsbereiche für jeden Mitarbeiter bereitzustellen. Der Ansatz ist von der Git-Methodik zum kooperativen Software Engineering inspiriert und basiert auf dieser. Die Analyse des Standes der Technik zeigt, dass kein System die Git-Methodik konsequent auf das Knowledge Engineering überträgt. Die Hauptmerkmale der Quit-Methodik sind unabhängige Arbeitsbereiche für jeden Benutzer und ein gemeinsamer verteilter Arbeitsbereich für die Zusammenarbeit. Während des gesamten Kollaborationsprozesses spielt die Data-Provenance eine wichtige Rolle. Zur Unterstützung der Methodik ist der Quit-Stack als eine Sammlung von Microservices implementiert, die es ermöglichen, die Semantic-Web-Datenstruktur und Standardschnittstellen in den verteilten Kollaborationsprozess zu integrieren. Zur Ergänzung der verteilten Datenerstellung werden geeignete Methoden zur Unterstützung des Datenverwaltungsprozesses erforscht. Diese Managementprozesse sind insbesondere die Erstellung und das Bearbeiten von Daten sowie die Publikation und Exploration von Daten. Die Anwendung der Methodik wird in verschiedenen Anwendungsfällen für die verteilte Zusammenarbeit an Organisationsdaten und an Forschungsdaten gezeigt. Weiterhin wird die Implementierung quantitativ mit ähnlichen Arbeiten verglichen. Abschließend lässt sich feststellen, dass der konsequente Ansatz der Quit-Methodik ein breites Spektrum von Szenarien zum verteilten Knowledge Engineering im Semantic Web ermöglicht.:Preface by Thomas Riechert Preface by Cesare Pautasso 1 Introduction 2 Preliminaries 3 State of the Art 4 The Quit Methodology 5 The Quit Stack 6 Data Creation and Authoring 7 Publication and Exploration 8 Application and Evaluation 9 Conclusion and Future Work Bibliography Web References List of Figures List of Tables List of Listings List of Definitions and Acronyms List of Namespace Prefixes / The aim of this thesis is to support the development of RDF knowledge bases in a distributed collaborative setup. In this thesis, a new methodology for distributed collaborative knowledge engineering – called Quit – is presented. It follows the premise that it is necessary to express dissent throughout a collaboration process and to provide individual workspaces for each collaborator. The approach is inspired by and based on the Git methodology for collaboration in software engineering. The state-of-the-art analysis shows that no system is consequently transferring the Git methodology to knowledge engineering. The key features of the Quit methodology are independent workspaces for each user and a shared distributed workspace for the collaboration. Throughout the whole collaboration process data provenance plays an important role. To support the methodology the Quit Stack is implemented as a collection of microservices, that allow to integrate the Semantic Web data structure and standard interfaces with the distributed collaborative process. To complement the distributed data authoring, appropriate methods to support the data management process are researched. These management processes are in particular the creation and authoring of data as well as the publication and exploration of data. The application of the methodology is shown in various use cases for the distributed collaboration on organizational data and on research data. Further, the implementation is quantitatively compared to the related work. Finally, it can be concluded that the consequent approach followed by the Quit methodology enables a wide range of distributed Semantic Web knowledge engineering scenarios.:Preface by Thomas Riechert Preface by Cesare Pautasso 1 Introduction 2 Preliminaries 3 State of the Art 4 The Quit Methodology 5 The Quit Stack 6 Data Creation and Authoring 7 Publication and Exploration 8 Application and Evaluation 9 Conclusion and Future Work Bibliography Web References List of Figures List of Tables List of Listings List of Definitions and Acronyms List of Namespace Prefixes
