På inbjudan av Blackebergs gymnasium har vi medverkat som deltagande lärare och forskare under ett projekt för integration. Detta projekt utgörs av mötet mellan en klass med elever av invandrarbakgrund och en klass med elever av företrädesvis svensk bakgrund. Rent praktiskt innebär detta att eleverna under en veckas tid har varit frikopplade från ordinarie schemabunden undervisning och istället deltagit i en serie evenemang med tema integration. Under denna vecka har vi handlett elever och efter bästa förmåga dokumenterat projektet. Vår metod har varit aktionforskning.

Studien är uppdelad i tre delar och belyser den invandrade individens syn på sina möjligheter till utveckling i det nya landet. Första delen heter det ofrivilliga arvet, barn till invandrare och belyser unga invandrares syn på framtiden. Andra delen heter Det sociala skyddsnätet och belyser en rad olika skyddsnät och hur de hjälper den invandrade att komma på fötter i det nya landet. Tredje delen heter Akademisk relevans och belyser relevansen i utbildning för en individs integration samt hur Sverige som land tar vara på invandrares kompetens och erfarenheter från hemlandet. I samtliga delar berättar informanterna om med eller motgångar som de känt när de kommit till det nya landet..

Idag kan man se att Sverige är ett mångkulturellt land och den svenska skolan har blivit en mötesplats där elever med olika bakgrunder och erfarenheter dagligen träffas. Vilket kan vara en stor möjlighet till att en integration sker. Forskningen kring integrering har under de senaste åren valt att inrikta sig på att undersöka om hur läraren arbetar med eleverna med utländsk bakgrund när det gäller ämnet Idrott och hälsa. Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka hur lärare i idrott och hälsa arbetar med integration i skolor där majoriteten av eleverna har en utländsk bakgrund. För att uppnå vårt syfte har vi valt att göra en kvalitativ undersökning, genom att göra en semistrukturerad intervju med fyra lärare som undervisar i ämnet idrott och hälsa. Men innan intervjuerna skedde så observerade vi totalt 10 lektioner som komplement till intervjuerna. Uppsatsen kommer fram till att lärarna i idrott och hälsa som deltar i studien tar till hänsyn i sin lektionsplanering och i sin undervisning när det handlar om elever med utländsk bakgrund. .

The electric vehicle market has potential to contribute to Sweden?s national goal to have a fossil fuel independent transport sector by 2030. However, the market answers to a lot of challenges making it difficult for the market to fully reach its potential. The volume of electric vehicles has seen a steady increase during the last year (2012), although many of these vehicles are mostly for PR purposes or bought by the public sector that wants to lead by example. Still, barriers in the form of high purchase costs, an anxiety for the limited battery capacity and the lack of standardisation are some of the problems that the market is struggling to solve.

This paper examines the consequences of membership and participation in immigrant associations on individual immigrants? political integration and indirect political participation with reference to Swedish society. The theoretical underpinnings consist of a social structural outlook on social capital, combined with the Civic Voluntarism Model, both of which focus on the potential role of social networks for moving people into political action. After a presentation of parallel qualitative data over the experiences of individual members in a Finnish and Bosnian-Hercegovinian organisation, it is suggested that immigrant associations support the political integration of their members into the host society. Firstly, the case studies indicate that members of immigrant associations gain the opportunity to augment their civic skills, which is a significant prerequisite for political participation.

This thesis work is about how technical consulting companies can accept their organization before a coming recession. Technical consulting companies are together with the rest of the actors in the construction business constantly depended on the current economic situation on the market. How to adapt the organisation depends on the current situation on the market.To adapt the organization in the best way possible the companies need to recruit and educate personal. It is then very important to find a solution on how the current change of generation in the companies will be handled. The large and very much competent group of 40-talists will in a few years retire.

Systemintegration är ett omfattande ämne som innehåller en uppsjö av begrepp och teorier, Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) är den avgränsning som genomförts inom detta område och fokuserar på en mer praktisk synvinkel av systemintegration. Vidare har det även avgränsats till en designers syn på EAI. Med dessa avgränsningar har en induktiv studie genomförts av tre framstående organisationer som är verksamma inom systemintegration. Genom att genomföra intervjuer med personer som dagligen arbetar med EAI identifierades 17 faktorer. Dessa faktorer analyserades och jämfördes med befintlig teori inom området för ERP och EAI.

According to modern theory, PR is seen as something that creates value for majority of products. The art market is a market that is characterized by several actors in different value chains, where transparency is low and art critics, or PR creators, have a certain amount of impact on the view of art, at least had so historically. But how does PR vs. art galleries´ own marketing (art brochure) affect the view and price consideration of art and artists for non-expert art spectators? After performing a large quantitative study, we can conclude that PR has negative to no affect on the view of art and the artist compared to the case when the spectator did not receive any information prior to viewing an art piece.

Librarians like to think that libraries contribute substantially to the progress of research. However, libraries still seem to have serious problems getting integrated in their parent organization on equal terms with other parts of that organization. The degree of integration of the library is thus the main topic of this thesis and the purpose is to examine how the interaction between librarians and scientists is formed and can be developed. That issue leads to concrete questions concerning what part librarians play in the scientists work and which factors influence the cooperation or lack of cooperation. We have chosen, for reasons of comparison, to make two case studies; one is a branch of a university library and the other is a library in a large pharmaceutical company.

This paper examines job coaching on the Swedish labour market. The study uses trygghetsråden, which are organizations established by an agreement from the labour and employer side, as a starting point for the study. In addition, the study examines the phenomenon from the perspective of the job coaches themselves and the coaches clients. The study concludes that job coaching is defined by the coach and the client's common goal of finding a suitable match for the client on the labour market. The job coach helps the client reach the goal of an appropriate job by making him or her aware of his or her competences and preferences.

The starting point of this study is theories of European integration, which are used to formulate different scenarios about the future of the European Union. This is made in regards to the eurocrisis which has intensified the discussion about how to change the construction of the euro to overcome the economic difficulties that has arisen. In this study, four different scenarios are presented: "An updated Europe", "A new Europe", "The death of the euro" and "Goodbye Greece". The first two scenarios takes its starting point in the neofunctionalist theory of European integration and describes how the EU might increase its level of integration in different ways. We can either see a development where the EU tries to improve the implementation of the rules that are meant to coordinate the member states? economic policy, or we might encounter a more advanced integration where fiscal policy competences are transferred to the EU-level.The latter scenarios, however, takes another theory in to account, liberal intergovernmentalism, and describes how the eurozone might be fragmented in different ways due to conflicts of interest between lenders and countries that has to receive loan-packages.

School can be an effective environment for achieving a more equal health among children and adolescents, since many individuals can be reached by the health promoting work in the school. In the year of 2000 a project in Skåne was started for the development of health promoting schools. The health promoting projects however, have shown to be of short duration. So, as an alternative, the integration of the health in school ought to be tried. The aim of this study is to give examples how health promoting schools can strengthen their profile.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka, förstå och reflektera kring de faktorer som kan ha bidragit till sex individers, som vid ankomsten räknades som ensamkommande flyktingbarn, integrering in i det svenska samhället. För att kunna besvara våra frågeställningar har vi valt att använda oss av kvalitativ metod då den dels möjliggör en djupare förståelse för oss men även då vi vill få fram deras subjektiva upplevelser av deras integration. Vi grundade vår analys på fem vetenskapliga artiklar samt teorier och begrepp så som; Angel & Hjerns (2004) Flyktingkrismodell, Beckmans (2011) Integrationsteori, Kamalis (2006) ?Vi? och ?Dom? teori, Goffmans (2006) Stigmateori och Berger & Luckmanns (2008) Socialisationsteori. Resultatet visade att respondenterna upplevde att språk var en viktig faktor i integreringen och att värdfamiljen haft en stor betydelse för dem.

Internship is a new form of interaction between the academic world and the market and a phenomena increasingly popular among elite universities in Europe. The educational system has traditionally kept an academic approach where the institutions for higher education have acted isolated without extensive influence from the market. Today pressure from the market has led to intensified interaction between the universities and companies among many European elite universities. We have carried out a situational analysis concerning interaction between the academic institutions and companies in Europe. More specifically, we looked at the potential for Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) to strengthen its position on the educational market by adjusting its strategies and implement internships as a part of the education.
