The concept of school forest was drafted in 1970 by the Forest in School organization and is defined as an area occupied by a school for outdoor educational activity. The main purpose of this study was to examine how schools use the school forest in practice, how it can be linked to the forest as an ecosystem service and find out how the forest is taken into consideration in the spatial planning. The study is mainly qualitative in nature and has been based on interviews conducted with educators engaged in outdoor education at four selected schools in a municipality in Sweden. Focus has been on the cultural ecosystem services for school forest, for example the physical characteristics that are considered as positive, forest influence on students' physical / mental health and the educational benefits available to be in the woods. Search has also been made to see how the forest is taken into consideration in the spatial planning and also what a contract agreements involves. The clearest prominent results from the interviews is the need for variation in school forests; you want to have access to many different kinds of environments that may suit for the different subjects they are to teach, or the various activities you want to pursue. Experience values ​​of the different school forest areas varied widely, which also supports the idea that there is no specific type of environment that is optimal, but the variety of types of environment itself is far more important for a fruitful outdoor educational activities. The National Forest is considered to benefit students' physical and psychological health through the stress level is reduced and students will be more motivated. Furthermore, it is important to adapt the size of the area for utilization, as well as its distance from the school after the age of the students who use it. The forest is located near the school and is available can be seen as more important than that is experienced as restful and separated from the outside world. Other interests that use the school forest because of its proximity to other buildings has emerged, mainly has been for housing construction.

Bakgrund: Tidigare studier på området socialt entreprenörskap visar på att sociala företag syftar till att skapa socialt värde. Hur detta värde skapas har dock varit svårt att konkretisera. Med anledning av att flera sociala företag med fokus på att öka mångfalden på den svenska arbetsmarknaden grundats de senaste åren, är det av intresse att studera hur dessa företag skapar socialt värde. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att skapa förståelse för hur sociala företag, i samspel med organisationer i andra sektorer i samhället, kan skapa socialt värde genom sitt arbete för en ökad mångfald. Metod: Studiens forskningsdesign är av kvalitativ karaktär och följer en abduktiv ansats. Studien undersöker ett socialt företag och dess partnerföretag och deras gränsöverskridande samarbete i form av ett mentorskapsprogram. Empiriinsamlingen har utförts genom kvalitativa intervjuer, etnografi samt dokumentstudier. Slutsats: Studien finner fem olika aspekter som beskriver hur socialt värde kan skapas genom ett samarbete över sektorsgränserna i samhället. Den första aspekten som identifierats är möten, vilken är den mest centrala förutsättningen för att kunna skapa socialt värde i ett gränsöverskridande samarbete. Utöver den aspekten finner studien att ansvarstagande, samverkan, nätverksskapande och kulturskillnader är aspekter som bidrar till socialt värdeskapande. / Background: Previous research within social entrepreneurship has shown that social enterprises are aiming to create social value. How the value is created is hard to concretize. Due to the fact that several social enterprises focusing on increasing the diversity of the Swedish labor market have been founded in recent years, the key interest is to study how these enterprises create social value. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to create an understanding of how social enterprises, in collaboration with organizations across sectorial boarders in society, can create social value through their aim for a higher diversity on the Swedish labor market. Method: The research design is of qualitative nature and follows an abductive approach. The study investigates a case in the form of a social enterprise and its partner companies and their cross-sectoral cooperation in the form of a mentorship program. Empirical collection has been conducted through qualitative interviews, ethnography and documentary studies. Conclusion: The study finds five different aspects that describe how social value can be created through cooperation across the sectoral boundaries in society. The first aspect identified is the meeting, which is the most central prerequisite for creating social value in cross-sectoral cooperation. In addition to this aspect, the study finds that responsibility, collaboration, networking and cultural differences are aspects that contribute to social value creation.

Då marknaden för streamingtjänster för film och serier växt markant de senaste åren har intresset ökat för att förstå vad som motiverar konsumenter att prenumerera på och behålla en streamingtjänst framför andra. Studien ämnar undersöka vilka faktorer som är av störst betydelse i konsumenters val av streamingtjänst, samt undersöka vilka dimensioner av upplevt värde som har en positiv påverkan på intentionen att behålla en tjänst. Med stöd från den akademiska litteraturen rörande konsumenters upplevda värde skapades en analysmodell med fem dimensioner som låg till grund för denna kvantitativa undersökning. Hypoteser skapades för dimensionerna funktionellt värde, emotionellt värde, socialt värde, användarvänlighet samt monetärt värde i syfte att testa sambandet mellan respektive värdedimension och intentionen att behålla en streamingtjänst framför en annan. Enkätundersökningen resulterade i 274 användbara svar där resultaten indikerade på att de funktionella, emotionella och sociala värdena har en positiv påverkan på konsumentens intention att behålla en tjänst. De egenskaper respondenterna upplevde vara viktigast i valet av streamingtjänst var huvudsakligen kopplat till tjänstens innehåll och kvalité.

Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera faktorer som påverkar erfarna unga vuxnas beslut att investera i fonder. Målet är att erhålla en ökad förståelse för hur finansiella investeringsbeslut fattas med beaktande av de betydande värderingsförskjutningar som uppenbarligen tillkommit genom ökat medvetande genom debatten om produktion/miljöpåverkan under senare år.  En försöksgrupp har utvalts bestående av unga vuxna i åldersgruppen 21–25 år. Författarna har valt att avgränsa gruppen för att fokusera på individer som har yrkeserfarenhet inom bank- och finanssektorn.  Undersökningen har utgått från en teoretisk referensram som består av en konsumentbeslutsprocess, Maslows behovstrappa, för att analysera värderingar samt vilka psykologiska och finansiella värden respondenterna erhåller efter genomförda investeringar. Detta identifieras genom djupintervjuer med respondenterna.  Forskningsfrågorna i denna undersökning handlar om varför respondenterna väljer att köpa vissa specifika fonder samt hur deras värderingar påverkat valet av fonder.

The growing communication that takes place between young people today causes concern. The purpose of this study is to develop in – depth knowledge of the interaction that young people engage in online. The pedagogic interest is based on an investigation of conditions for social learning and social integration that exist in practice, which unfolds in virtual spaces created by social media. The technology referred to in this thesis is considered to be a social construction, which entails that values circulate between people, technology, and society. The theoretical point of departure is based on a pedagogic theory, which proposes that people develop their ability to cooperate, their social identity, and their understanding of the world through interaction with others. This dissertation includes three studies. The first study investigates support and harassment online (for example, insults). The second study is conducted for the purpose of revealing the discursive patterns in young people’s argumentation, based on a series of interviews. Finally, a text analysis of Facebook’s policy document was performed, with focus on the democratic values that are mediated via this document. The overall result is that considerably more young people feel that they are supported in social media, than those who are harassed. Both a supportive culture and a harassing culture can be defined however. The more often young people support their friends, the more often they find themselves to be the recipient of support. The same relationship pertains for harassing communication. Reciprocity, respect, and being responsible are dominant themes in a close circle of friends. In interaction with friends who are not members of the close circle of friends, communication is characterised by asymmetry and control. The imposition of discipline takes place as a function of both gender and status. The risk of being subject to reprisals is great, if the prevailing system of norms is violated. Young people’s social interaction in virtual spaces tends to be dominated by marketization where strategic behaviour, which primarily is a function of the individual’s social position and profit interest, is observed.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att bilda kunskap om HR-praktikers syn på värdeskapande HR-arbete och vad som krävs för att HR-arbetet ska vara värdeskapande. Genom att besvara det ämnar uppsatsen att beskriva hur värdeskapande HR yttrar sig i verksamheter och ge ett vidgat perspektiv om hur HR kan skapa värde. Vidare presenteras hur HR-praktiker betraktar värdeskapande HR-arbete samt betydelsefulla faktorer för värdeskapande HR-arbete i organisationer. Studien visar att någon självklar sanning angående vad värdeskapande HR-arbete innefattar inte existerar. Däremot urskiljs att det bland HR-praktiker finns ett större fokus på finansiella och strategiska värden än sociala värden. Det är många faktorer som har betydelse för värdeskapande HR-arbete vilket främst inkluderar kompetens, maktpositioner, HR-rollens utformning, identitet och effekter. Underlag till studien har samlats in genom tio semistrukterade intervjuer som därefter har meningskoncentrats enligt fenomenologisk metodologisk utgångspunkt. / Helix

Den ökade närvaron på digitala plattformar har gett konsumenter möjligheten till ökat inflytande och påverkan längs hela värdekedjan. Genom att konsumera, bidra och skapa innehåll på digitala plattformar är User Generated Content (UGC) ett verktyg för användare att vara delaktiga i värdeskapandeprocessen. Genom teorier som den tjänstedominanta logiken med samskapande av värde som central del, upplevt värde, konsumtion, bidragande och skapande har tre hypoteser utformats. Utformningen gjordes för att mäta och undersöka hur upplevt värde vid konsumtion av UGC i form av funktionellt, socialt och emotionellt värde, påverkar användares tendenser att ytterligare konsumera, bidra och skapa UGC. Hypoteserna undersöktes genom korrelations- och regressionsanalyser med data från en enkätundersökning bestående av 95 respondenter. Resultatet av studien tyder på positiva samband mellan upplevt värde av UGC och ytterligare konsumtion, bidragande och skapande av UGC med undantag från upplevt funktionellt värde i relation till bidragande och skapande. / The increased presence on digital platforms has given consumers the opportunity for more significant influence and impact along the entire value chain. By consuming, contributing, and creating content on digital platforms, User Generated Content (UGC) is a tool for users to be involved in the value-creation process. Through theories such as the service-dominant logic with co-creation of value as a central element, perceived value, consumption, contribution, and creation, three hypotheses have been formulated. The design was made to measure and investigate how perceived value when consuming UGC in terms of functional, social, and emotional value, influences users' tendencies to further consume, contribute and create UGC. The hypotheses were investigated through correlation and regression analyses using data from a survey of 95 respondents. The results of the study suggest positive correlations between the perceived value of UGC and further consumption, contribution, and creation of UGC with the exception of perceived functional value in relation to contribution and creation.
