This essay focuses on the reception of Yahya Hassan?s debut YAHYA HASSAN in Swedish media, mainly daily newspapers. Following the work of Magnus Nilsson it analyzes the ?reading strategy of the politics of identity? in ?immigrant literature? and outlines structural racism in the literary scene. By bringing attention to the critics? use of this reading strategy, it is possible to unveil the ?ethnic filter? through which literature by Swedish authors with a ?non-Swedish identity? is being read in contemporary Swedish literary criticism.

This study aim?s to examine how conceptions regarding culture and ethnicity influence the daily work of personnel in integration projects financed by the European Social Fund (ESF). The method of this study was individual semi-structured interviews with nine persons working in three different projects. The reason why we have chosen these specific projects was because of their work with immigrant participants. Concepts that our study is based on was culture and ethnicity, but also the theory considering in-groups and out-groups.

?This is a study of two school extern homework activities dedicated to helping students with their homework. The questions at issue are 1) how are the homework activities organized when it comes to financing, planning, marketing and implementation? 2) Who participates as staff as well as students and what are the requirements for participants? 3) What are the reasons for students to attend school external homework sessions? Material was gathered by a survey among the students at the activities and by interviews with principals for each activity. Two main findings are that the homework activities are almost exclusively visited by students with immigrant background and that the main reasons for participating are difficulties with the Swedish language, and parents not being able to help their children with homework.

Illegal fildelning är ett världsomfattande problem som har skapat heta debatter i många länder. I Sverige är den illegala fildelningen ett vanligt förekommande fenomen. För att komma till rätta med denna verksamhet har vår egen upphovsrättslag uppdaterats och den omdiskuterade IPRED-lagen införts. Trots detta är företeelsen illegal fildelning fortfarande vanligt förekommande i dagens Sverige. Den här studien har haft som syfte att undersöka varför personer fortfarande fildelar samt vad som skulle få dem att sluta med denna verksamhet.

This essay examines migration paths through Sweden. There has been a debate in August 2010 that Sweden is regarded as a backdoor for non European immigrants to come over Denmark. It has been discovered through Denmark?s statistics and is regarded as negative by the Danish government. Denmark and Sweden are two countries that are socio- , economically- and culturally similar, but went in two different directions, especially with immigration policy.

?Claiming the right to space? is an argument frequently used by street artists for justifying illegal art in the public space. The public city space as a room of democracy and right to free speech is by some people considered threatened by commercial interests, and street art has become a way to demonstrate disapproval towards this. Street art is illegal and often anonymously performed in our cities. It developed in the late 1970s from the urban graffiti scene in America, and has therefore a lot in common with the graffiti movement.

Container Security Initiative was launched in 2002 by the US Customs and Border Patrol in order to secure the global flow of containers destined for USA. This thesis attempts to analyze Container Security Initiative in relation to a possible future scenario made by the weapons industry where the state's global traderoutes are being subject to militarization. A development which is partly based on the threat posed by global illegal trade. The latter is discussed and defined based on current research made by Carolyn Nordstrom, Moíses Naím and theories on the cosmopolitan perspective made by Ulrich Beck. Strategy documents concerning Container Security Initiative are then analyzed in terms of discourse to try to say something about what the program indicates.

This study examines imagined boundaries between Swedes and non-Swedes. Rather than using pre-determined definitions as a starting point, the attempt is to examine the discursive construction of difference. The purpose is not to study the portrayal of immigrants per se but to examine how the ?immigrant-ness? is constructed. The result shows the perception of ?immigrant-ness? is linked more to a person?s origin than to the act of immigration itself. The selected newspapers are Dagens Nyheter (DN) and Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) for the period of 15th November ? 21st November, 1999.

Invandrade kvinnor i Handels. Föreställningar om arbetskraftsinvandrade kvinnor i Handelsnytt 1961-1976. (Immigrant women in Handels. Conceptions of labour immigrated women in Handelsnytt 1961-1976).The primary purpose of this thesis is to analyze the written conceptions of labour immigrated women in Handelsnytt, a Swedish Trade Union magazine. The analyses of the conceptions are based on theoretical categories of class, gender and ethnicity.

The present research examined both automatic and controlled processes in newpapers ability of priming racial stereotypes via the portrayals of people of foreign extraction. The automatic process were examined through articles which; a) involved an illegal act or b) the act was not illegal but morally questionable. Swedish-born subject?s explicit opinions against foreign people were also measured through ?The Modern Racial Prejudice Scale?. In the experiment participants read four different articles which included; Swedish person/noncrime, foreign person/noncrime, Swedish person/crime and foreign person/crime.

This paper gives the reader an opportunity to explore new grounds regarding a relatively new field that has opened in Sweden. The result is based on an explorative research conducted by us, with starting point whether immigrants, consisting of Middle Eastern ones, can be seen as an attractive target group for big grocery shops. In order to understand whether they are attractive to target, we need to grasp underlying factors such as our research question: ?What are the habits of Middle Eastern consumers regarding food that marketers from Sweden can target?? To do so we were forced to investigate what kind of lifestyle an immigrant from the Middle East has, since the immigrant?s lifestyle influences what sort of food he/she will consume. When investigating the lifestyle we were able to concentrate on certain areas that we saw had a clear relation in influencing immigrants? food choices, such as religion, acculturation and so forth.

En europeisk upphovsman har teoretiskt sett samma skydd för sitt verk vid illegal fildelning såväl inom som utom EU. På grund av internationella överenskommelser finns det regler om ensamrätt i nästan alla länder som Sverige har ekonomiskt eller kulturellt samarbete med, varför upphovsmannens skydd är relativt starkt. Utanför EU, med undantag för EFTA-länderna, finns dock inga krav på att länderna ska införa regler om informationsföreläggande och interimistiskt förbud. Reglerna är införda i alla EU-länders lagstiftning genom Ipred-direktivet och innebär en betydlig förenkling för upphovsmannen när det gäller att identifiera intrångsgöraren och stoppa intrånget. Utöver intrångsförfarandets praktiska fördelar finns inom EU även klara regler gällande internationell privaträtt, vilket gör att upphovsmannen kan vara säker på var denne får föra process och vilket lands lag som ska användas.

`When one does not have what one wants, one must want what one has´: `I have had, you see, to resort more and more to very small, almost invisible pleasures, little extras....You´ve no idea how great one becomes with these little details, it´s incredible how one grows. ´ The aim of this master thesis is to find words and expressions that can accompany city phenomenas as well as the people wandering through the space which is defiened as city. Through this tentative search a new term was found namely Urban Settler Marks. This term started a journey and an attempt to theoretisize why people have a need for various spaces to put their Urban Settlers Marks onto. My focus was drawn to electrical boxes in the urban environment because of their ambigious nature.

I denna uppsats behandlar vi en form av illegal IT-användning, nedladdning av upphovsrättskyddat material via Internet. Undersökningen är koncentrerad till att undersöka om beteendet gällande nedladdning hos studenter förändrats till följd av den förändrade upphovsrättslagen som i juli 2005 trädde i kraft. Beteendet innebär om studenterna förändrat sin nedladdningsfrekvens och sitt tillvägagångssätt efter lagändringen jämfört med innan lagändringen samt vilka orsaker som ligger bakom det aktuella beteendet. Undersökningen genomfördes vid Örebro universitet.För att samla in data till denna undersökning gjordes en enkätundersökning som besvarades av 153 stycken individer. Data för att sammanställa inledning, frågeställning och syfte samlades i huvudsak in från artiklar och information som funnits via Internet.Det vi kom fram till i denna undersökning var att nedladdningsfrekvensen och antalet som fortfarande laddar ned är mindre efter lagändringen än det var innan.
