The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how a public library, as an information center and a meeting place, may contribute to bring Swedes and immigrants closer to one another, which is a prerequisite for Integration. To realize this purpose, I have asked three questions. Which conditions and demands are stated in central documents for libraries immigrant activities? What do the library called Biblioteket Västers multicultural activities contain? How does the library conceive its object to strengthen immigrants identity so that its activities, contribute to Integration? As method, I have used hermeneutics, which means that I have interpreted the thesis material. In the theory I have described relevant literature and confirmed the importance of identity, language and the majoritys acknowledgement for Integration.

Funktionsinriktad musikterapi (FMT) är en musikterapimetod som används för att stödja individen i dennes utveckling oavsett ålder och funktionsnivå. I examensarbetet analyseras på vilket sätt FMT kan stödja barn med autism i deras utveckling. Hur kan sensorisk Integration hos dessa barn stimuleras i FMT? Av fallbeskrivningarna framgår det att de två barn som fick FMT båda har visat tecken på positiva förändringar inom samverkan/kommunikation, motivation, språkutveckling, perception och rörelsekoordination. Sensorisk Integration ingår i alla dessa moment och det är därför svårt urskilja den som en separat funktion.

As scholars argue, there has been a rapid diffusion of civic Integration policies in Western Europe the last decade. In the light of the debate about the extent of civic Integration policies, recent studies have shown that the diffusion is limited to certain countries. Despite a flurry of literature based on civic Integration policies, attention drawn to the implication of these policies has been quite inferior. This paper tries to examine what civic Integration policies means in relation to immigration. Are civic Integration policies used as an informal tool for the purpose of limiting certain groups of immigrants? I argue in this paper that the conditional factor in the civic Integration policies creates a barrier for affected immigrants and their possibilities to gain long term residence.

Companies will increasingly begin to link their applications, and the technology that makesthis possible is called Integration. The more applications that are connected, the more of the company's data flows through these Integrations. It is also clear that data analyses to create business value and to get competitive advantages against its competitors are important. In this paper, we examine how companies create business value and competitive advantages throughthe Integration platforms and metadata from the Integrations. We have interviewedpeople from three companies in the industrial sector, each with an Integration platform.We have also interviewed Enfo Zystems, a company that provides development andmanagement of Integration platforms to these customers.

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate thephenomenon language café, an activity that is held in public libraries into which anyone is welcome who wants to practice their skills in Swedish, and see how this can be put in relation to Integration. To reach the purpose we developed two research-questions; What does the language café fulfill for its participants? and How can the language café contribute to the promotion of Integration? The study is based on semi-structured interviews with seven participants from language cafés. The theory used to analyze the results from the interviews is the Swedish sociologist José Alberto Diaz theory about the Integration process which can be divided into seven dimensions. The findings of the thesis were that the language café can fill the function as a place to Speak Swedish, for Community-information, a place to meet and a place for trust and self-confidence.

The focus in this study is on the situation of Roma in Sweden. The purpose is to see the Integration strategies that are reflected in Swedish politics, considering the inclusion of Roma. Idea analysis has been used as method, and I have analysed the text to find expressions of four different ideal types that represent four different types of Integrations processes. The material consists of the government?s strategy plan for the Roma?s inclusion in Sweden between 2012-2032.

The aim of this study is to discuss the implementation of Swedish Integration policy from the perspective that public officials, so called front-line bureaucrats, are the real creators of this policy. The concept of Integration is far from unambigous; it can have different meanings depending on the theoretical perspective applied. This give topical interest to the question of how the concept is conceived on the national level versus the implementation level. I also aim to uncover how these front-line bureaucrats look upon their role as creators of Integration policy. My material consists mainly of interviews with front-line bureauctrats.

The purpose of this masters thesis is to find out whether the library can be a way to support Integration. To fulfil this purpose we have, by qualitative interviews, obtained information about eight immigrant womens views on and experiences of the Swedish public library. Through the literature and earlier research we have presented a background of immigrants and Integration in Sweden along with factors that may influence the Integration process. We have tried to give an insight into what is said about the immigrant woman in research and media, which we think affects her life and we also have given a short introduction to immigrant womens life in Sweden today. Of great interest for our essay have also been the public librarys objectives and social role in society.

The purpose of this study is to see what obstacles and opportunities the staff on a residence for unaccompanied children experience when trying to integrate these children into the Swedish society. I was also interested in how the Integration of these children worked. I have interviewed the staff with a qualitative method. The result was analyzed with the help of Diaz Integration theory and Bauman´s theory "us and them", and also with the previous research in the subject. My conclusion is that Integration is a complicated concept that is experienced and interpreted individually. There are both obstacles and opportunities in the work with the Integration of unaccompanied children. The result shows me that the schools? role and the legal guardians function should have been better planned and framed from the start.

Our purpose with this study was to look at the connection between social capital and Integration. Particularly if meetings between people from different cultures can increase social capital and in that way affect Integration. We start by identifying the social Integration perspective we are going to use through out the study and then we introduce social capital theory as a way of narrowing down the field even more. The study was done through six semi structured interviews. We interviewed three women that was established in the Swedish society and three women that had immigration background.

The purpose of this essay was to find out whether the students, which had moved from the school of Gustaf Adolf to the school of Elineberg, had been integrated into their new environment. We chose to analyze the degree of Integration concerning their schoolwork, how they interacted with the students from the new school, the school of Elineberg, and their level of wellbeing in their new school. We have used two methods, surveys and interviews, to be able to obtain the general picture of how the Integration of the students has succeeded.Our conclusions are that the student has adapted well in their new school despite many obstacles along the way. Our essay shows that the students get along well with their new school friends during class, but they don´t socialise in their spear time. Although they seem to have accepted the closure of their old school some students express that they wish the school would be reopened.
