En kvalitativ studie av berättelser om försörjningstagares hälsa - Biståndshandläggarnas perspektiv
This study is featuring six social welfare officer's stories about client's health and the organization’s resources regarding health. The aim of this study is to analyze how the social welfare officer´s describe their client´s health. We are using semi structured interviews and discourse analysis. Our theoretical point of view is social constructivism and street-level bureaucracy. The result of the study contains three different conclusions. The first one argues that the social worker divides the clients in to categories to make them manageable to the organization, furthermore ascribing them different identities. The second one is the social worker's furtherance of the client's health containing both possibilities and limitations. The possibilities are public assistance in the form of health care on prescription and working with the client's motivation to further their own health. The limitations are the subsistence level and the client's own priorities making it difficult to lead a healthy life. The third conclusion of the study concerns the social worker's ideas regarding changes in the organizations to further the client's health. The social workers are further describing suggestions to changes such as education, informative meetings, and granting more funds to activities just to mention a few examples.
Handlingsutrymme: utmaningar i socialt arbete
Socialarbetaren befinner sig i en professionssfar mellan organisationens uppdrag och klientens intresse. Och i den sfaren, i handlingsutrymmet, ska socialarbetaren verka med sin kunskap, sin fantasi och kreativitet och sina egna overvaganden om vad som ar ratt eller fel att gora i den aktuella situationen. 
 
Det ar ont om litteratur inom socialt arbete mellan a ena sidan vetenskapliga beskrivningar av det sociala arbetets grunder, forutsattningar och resultat, och a andra sidan praktikbaserade handbocker om olika former av praktiska handlingssatt. Boken Handlingsutrymme ar tankt att till en del fylla ut det tomrummet. 
 
Forfattarna talar inte om hur man ska och bor gora i det dagliga arbetet utan stravar efter att vacka tankar och reflektioner som bas for det sociala arbetets handlingar. Har visas pa generella processer verksamma i allt praktiskt socialt arbete. Med hjalp av vetenskap och forskning vill forfattarna lyfta och medvetandegora dessa processer utan att for den skull bli vare sig distanserande eller foreskrivande. Boken innehaller flera exempel hamtade fran praktiskt socialt arbete. 
 
Handlingsutrymme ar avsedd bade for socionomutbildningen och for yrkesverksamma inom socialt arbete.
Analysis: The Agenda 2007 Proposals: Evolution or Revolution?
On 10 February 2004 the Commission published its proposal for the financial perspective 2007-2013. A week later it adopted the third report on economic and social cohesion. These two documents form the basis of the so-called ‘Agenda 2007 reforms’. They will be the greatest challenge for the enlarged EU after the intergovernmental conference, since they will determine the financial basis for EU policy-making until the middle of the next decade. The Agenda 2007 proposals certainly hint at courageous reforms, because they place a previously unheard-of emphasis on performance and quality. Under the proposals, structural operations should generate value for money, and the funds should focus on projects which generate added value at a European level. Overall the Commission’s proposals point in the right direction, because they balance, on the one hand, solidarity for the new Member States and weak regions in the old Member States with, on the other hand, investments in future tasks. Moreover, they constitute a paradigm shift. For the first time, the Common Agricultural Policy will not be the dominant expenditure category. Now it is up to the Member States to examine the proposals politically and find a compromise between sometimes very divergent interests. It is to be hoped that, during the debate over expenditure limits and division of funds, national interests do not outweigh European interests.
