1 252 unaccompanied refugee children have disappeared in Sweden since 2007. These children have never been found. Nearly one unaccompanied refuge child disappears per day. This happens during the time they are within the Swedish authorities' responsibility. This thesis uses the framing theory of the mass media regarding the missing unaccompanied refugee children and what the mass media considers to be the cause of their disappearance, the moral aspects of the articles and the solutions to the problem.

Sedan sommaren 2006 har antalet Ensamkommande barn som anländer till Sverige ökat oavbrutet. Dessa barn utgör en särskilt utsatt grupp varpå det finns särskilda bestämmelser inom såväl internationell som nationell rätt genom vilka Ensamkommande barn tillskrivs rätt till ett mer omfattande stöd genom hela asylprocessen, vid sitt mottagande samt fortsatta vistelse här i landet än asylsökande vuxna. Detta skyddsnät är reglerat utifrån 18-årsgränsen, vilken således spelar en avgörande roll för de Ensamkommande barnen vad gäller deras möjligheter till uppehållstillstånd och integration i det svenska samhället.Majoriteten av de barn som kommer ensamma till Sverige har inga identitetshandlingar med sig och uppger att de är mellan 15 och 17 år. Att identitetshandlingar saknas innebär att det i många fall kan vara svårt att avgöra huruvida den ålder som den asylsökande uppger är korrekt. När det föreligger tvivel om den sökandes ålder skall Migrationsverket utföra en åldersbedömning av sökanden.

The aim of this study is to investigate what kind of support unaccompanied children needs when arriving in Sweden, according to the staff that is receiving unaccompanied asylum seeking children in Sweden. The method is qualitative and is based on interviews and previous research. The result shows that the main subjects who were of interest from the interviews are elementary need, the support offered, security, ?parental gestalt?, education, leisure, obstacles in the work.All the interviewees describe young people's needs very different when it differs from person to person. The support children receive is the most important factor that unaccompanied children need to be developed and get a better and safer life.

Läraryrkets ställning är ett återkommande tema i dagens debatter om skolan. Denna studie försöker kartlägga hur läraryrkets ställning såg ut på 1800-talet, genom att jämföra enskilda lärares minnesanteckningar med den utbildningshistoriska forskning som finns om ämnet idag, samt genom en internationell jämförelse. Lärarminnena som utgör källmaterialet till denna studie är skrivna av fyra manliga folkskollärare och en kvinnlig småskolelärarinna. Den forskningen som fungerar som den teoretiska ramen för denna studie har avgränsat tre strukturer som formar läraryrket: den sociala strukturen, den kulturella strukturen samt lärares agentskap. Uppsatsens syfte är att öka kunskapen om läraryrkets status under 1800-talet genom att undersöka huruvida dessa strukturer har påverkat lärarens ställning.

The aim of this study was to describe and to analyze needs and social efforts concerning unaccompanied/separated asylum-seeking children. The responsibility for the reception of this target group was transferred on July 1, 2006 from the Swedish Migration Board to the municipalities that sign an agreement with the Swedish Migration Board. Eight qualitative interviews were carried out with representatives for transit-residents and assigned municipalities in Skåne. Our main questions were: How has the reception of unaccompanied/separated asylum-seeking children been planned, how do the municipalities and the transit-residents consider their needs and what is the level of qualifications and competence within the municipalities in order to work with unaccompanied/separated asylum-seeking children on the basis of social efforts? We chose to clarify our findings on the basis of the attachment theory, which is applicable during the critical emancipation phase that the vast majority of the unaccompanied/separated asylum-seeking children find themselves in.

This study is about children that have been forced to flee to another country, due to conflict, poverty or natural disasters, without their families. They are known as unaccompanied refugee children. The aim of the study is to, by focusing on individual children's feelings and experiences of being forced to flee create greater knowledge and understanding of what is hidden behind some of the statistic of migration.To answer the aim of the study, I used the following research questions: How is a child affected by being forced to leave home and to flee to a foreign country? How does an unaccompanied refugee child perceive the exodus? How do the unaccompanied refugee children handle their situation during the flight and at arrival in Sweden?The study is based on a qualitative method and consists in semi-structured interviews with five unaccompanied refugee children aged 17 to 21. The theoretical framework is based on three theoretical concepts; refugee crisis, identity and coping.The study results show that these children are a very vulnerable group, who were forced to be exposed to several losses and traumas.

Every year a great amount of unaccompanied children flee their homelands without their parents or guardians. This means a journey filled with danger and difficulties. The difficulties don?t only exist during the road ahead but also when the children arrive to the new country. Even if Sweden?s work in receiving refugees is one of the best in the world, it still exist problems.

The aim of this study was to examine how social workers relate to unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, regarding their cultural background and potential social issues. In order to achieve a more profound and comprehensive view of the social workers views regarding the separated children, we selected to execute semi structured interviews with social workers. These interviews were aimed at those social workers who performed assessments and investigations concerning unaccompanied children. We completed nine interviews which we recorded and transcribed in a strict manor. When we analyzed the empirical material, certain themes where identified as more protuberant and thus we our selection was based on what we regarded as the most relevant topics, in accordance to the aim of the study.

Sammanfattning Uppsatsen är en socialpsykologisk studie med syfte att försöka tolka och förstå några personers berättelser om hur deras psykosociala arbetsmiljö formats, förändrats och utvecklats vid lärosätet i Växjö som varit deras arbetsplats under närmare trettiofem års tid inom vilken det skett två stora organisationsförändringar dels vid bildandet av Växjö universitet och dels fusionen med Högskolan i Kalmar och bildandet av Linnéuniversitetet. Jag var intresserad att få veta något om deras upplevelser av att arbeta inom de tre organisationerna samt erfarenheter av de båda organisationsförändringarna.I studien redovisas vad som framkommit ur berättelser från fyra personer med en mycket lång anställningstid och som dessutom är mycket respekterade och har hög kompetens inom sina områden vilket enligt min bedömning, kan symbolisera något av trygga ankare inom universitetet. Upplevelsen av att arbeta inom Högskolan i Växjö 1977-1998 beskrivs av samtliga respondenter som en positiv tid.  Av intervjusvaren framgår en samstämmighet som enligt min tolkning innebar en demokratisk anda och mycket bra ledarskap. Upplevelsen av att arbeta inom Växjö Universitet 1999-2009, beskrivs inte lika samstämmigt som föregående.  Det framkommer åsikter som att det innovativa övergick till mer byråkratisk ordning och att man byggde på det som redan var och det som tillkom var forskningen.Den psykosociala arbetsmiljön inom  Linnéuniversitetet 2010 fram till våren 2012 beskrivs av merparten av respondenterna som stram hierarki, rätt utbildning är viktigt, alienation, osäkerhet, bekymmer, frågetecken, likgiltighet, passivitet, kulturkrock och personalflykt samt avsaknad av ledarskap.

This study analyses social age as a phenomenon and if unaccompanied refugee children has a social age that, according to the Swedish culture, do not correspond with their biological age and if so is, the reason for that. Furthermore, our study has discussed the potential consequences of the effects for the unaccompanied refugee children and the social age when interacting with Swedish society. According to our study, the social age is effected by other factors besides cultural norms, values and role expectations that a society has on a specific biological age. The results in this study shows that social age is a vital component to someone?s identity.

Uppsatsen byggde på en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi med syftet att undersöka hur personal på boenden för Ensamkommande flyktingbarn uppfattade begreppet integration och dess innebörd. Empirin är insamlad genom sju kvalitativa intervjuer. De frågeställningar studien byggde på var: vilken innebörd lägger personalen i begreppet integration? Vad finns det för eventuella hinder för integration? Vad är målet/en med integration och när är de uppfyllda? Empirin från dessa intervjuer analyserades sedan genom en tematisk innehållsanalys och med ett abduktivt angreppssätt. Resultaten tolkades sedan med hjälp av postkoloniala teorier och begreppet KASAM.

In this study the semi structured interview method was used to explore what kind of knowledge one In State Authority: The Migration Board, and three Non Governmental Organisations: Red Cross, Save the Children and ISS- International Social Service have about the situation for separated children. Another purpose in this study was to explore if people who are close to the children are working for the best of the children and if their cases were treated with legal security. The result shows that the children?s cases are not treated with legal security and some of the children suffer psychologically from separations from the families and other children need new families because they were maltreated. The result also shows that there are signs that separated children are discriminated compared to children with a Swedish background..

Based on the Migration Board's statistics report, the number of children that has gone missing within a time interval of 4 years (2010-2014) comprises 1331 children in total, of whom 146 are girls and 1185 are boys. A rising interest about what has happened to those children created a fundamental platform for this thesis. By reading Åkerman?s report from 2012, and the book De förlorade barnen: en rapport by Mikkelsen and Wagner (2013) the curiosity grew deeper. The research questions that were established were divided into three parts.

A controversial party?s entry into parliament - a review of Expressen?s depiction of the Sweden Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna)The purpose of this essay was to study how Expressen presents the Sweden Democrats, as well as reasoning about the effects this depiction could have on the citizens? opinion. Using a quantitative method I studied 122 articles, and through a qualitative method four of these could be further analyzed to reach a deeper result. The theoretical perspective that was applied in this study was primary agenda-setting and framing theory, to illuminate the power of media. The result showed that a prominent theme was to present Sweden Democrats as racists.

Mottagandet av flyktingbarn som kommer till Sverige med sin familj är ett relativt outforskat område. I den här uppsatsen redogörs barnens upplevelser av mottagandet i syfte att undersöka vilka skillnader och likheter som finns i barnets upplevelser beroende på ifall det kommit ensamt eller tillsammans med anhöriga. Genom åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer ger barnen sin bild av mottagandet i två kommuner i Jämtlands län. Den största skillnaden som framkom var att de Ensamkommande barnen hade ett mycket större kontaktnät i kommunen, tack vare kontakter med socialtjänst, boendepersonal m.fl. vilket påverkar deras Känsla av Sammanhang.
