The purpose of this study was to investigate what competence social workers have, don´t have and ask for in the work with unaccompanied children, how a lack of competence and guidelines has been compensated in the practical work and how the social workers view the future work with unaccompanied children. This has been done through eight semi-structured interviews with social workers who work with unaccompanied children. The result has been analyzed with help of the theoretical perspective globalization connected to social work and showed that none of the social workers felt not having the competence to work with the children. However, everyone mention one or more areas where they ask for competence development. The study showed that lack of education has been compensated through practical experiences, knowledge exchange with others and that guidelines now have been formed.

The purpose of this paper was to examine social workers' experiences of integration of unaccompanied children. We aimed to study which factors in the individual and the community social workers experience affect the integration and how they, based on their understanding, work to promote integration. The essay has a phenomenological approach and focuses on the social workers' own experiences of the phenomenon. The empirical data was obtained from qualitative interviews conducted with five social workers, all administrators in cases involving unaccompanied children. The result shows that the social workers feel that the desire to integrate is the most important presumption that must be present in the unaccompanied children.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att försöka finna vad som är kännetecknande för ett satiriskt framställningssätt, och sätta det i relation till det som jag ser som karakteristiskt för Marjaneh Bakhtiaris framställningssätt i romanen Kalla det vad fan du vill (2005). Numera ses satir som ett genreöverskridande begrepp som mer betecknar en ton eller ett förhållningssätt än en tydligt avgränsad genre. Det finns dock vissa återkommande kännetecken för vad som anses som satir, nämligen förekomsten av någon form av samtidskritik, komiska inslag och ironi. Vidare skildras även det satiriska verkets karaktärer i regel som typer eller karikatyrer och bibehåller sina karaktärsdrag genom berättelsens gång. Vid en analys av Kalla det vad fan du vill har jag funnit att Bakhtiaris framställningssätt i detta verk överlag stämmer väl överens med ovan beskrivna karaktärsdrag för satir.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the work with young people at home to care and accommodation (HVB) are organized in a municipality outside Karlstad and how the staff perceive emotions in the workplace. The issues that are discussed are based on the concepts of social ties, emotional labor, roles, shame and pride. The number of people who are fleeing in the world is today about 51 million. There has not been this high since World War II. The Swedish Migration Board calculated that about 7,000 of these people were unaccompanied children and came to Sweden in 2014.

Asylsökande barn med uppgivenhetssymptom var i 2000-talets början ett relativt okänt tillstånd men ansågs ändå vara en unik svensk företeelse eftersom den snabba ökningen som skedde under denna period aldrig har påträffats i något annat land. Det finns ingen vedertagen klassificering av tillståndet och flera symptom inryms inom olika diagnoskriterier. Nationell forskning menar att tillståndet inte kan förklaras med någon bakomliggande somatisk sjukdom, och att föräldramanipulation av barnen inte kunnat påvisas utan att fenomenet kräver multifaktoriella förklaringsmodeller. Vidare bör behandlingsarbetet ta hänsyn till barnets unika bakgrund, symptom och familjesituation samt fokusera på föräldrastöd eftersom föräldrarna spelar en viktig roll för barnets psykiska mående. Syftet med studien är dels att belysa hur kunskapsläget kring asylsökande barn med uppgivenhetssymtom ser ut vid en BUP-mottagning i norra Sverige, dels undersöka hur dessa barn och familjer behandlas inom verksamheten.

Syftet med min studie har varit att ta reda på vilka förutsättningar som legat till grund för en lyckad skolgång för pojkar som påbörjat sin andraspråksinlärning och skolgång i Sverige  under högstadieåren. Det har även varit att ta reda på vilka faktorer informanterna själva ser som avgörande för sin skolframgång.I huvudsak har jag använt semistrukturerade intervjuer som kombinerats med ett frågeformulär, det vill säga en metodkombination.Informanterna för enkäten har varit 8 ensamkommande afghanska pojkar som kommit till Sverige i yngre tonåren och informanterna i intervjun har varit tre av dessa som lyckats synnerligen väl med sin skolgång i Sverige.Det mest avgörande resultatet för lyckad skolgång är uppmuntran och stöttning av lärare samt tillgång till bra och tydliggörande läxhjälp. Resultatet i studien visar också att pojkarna som har den mest lyckade skolgången i Sverige minns föräldrarnas förväntan på deras studieframgång. De har en stor drivkraft att vara bäst och att deras skolframgång ska leda till jobb så att de kan ge pengar till släktingar eller andra behövande. .

Denna kvalitativa studie har som syfte att undersöka hur de betydelser av genuset kvinna som förmedlas av chilenska dagstidningar mottas av kvinnor i Chile; detta satt i relation till kvinnornas egna situationer i livet och positioner i strukturerna. Den består dels av en analys av tidningsartiklar där kvinnor förekommer, dels av intervjuer med åtta chilenskor om hur de uppfattar dessa. Fokus i analysen av intervjuerna ligger på vilka variabler intervjupersonerna associerar kring gällande kvinnorna i artiklarna, på huruvida de uppfattar dem som handlande subjekt eller ej samt på huruvida de intervjuade kvinnornas uppfattningar kan kopplas till faktorer som klass/samhällsgrupp, etnicitet, ålder, moderskap och äktenskap/samboende gällande dem själva. Inga entydiga slutsatser kan dras. Faktorerna klass/samhällsgrupp, äktenskap/samboende och moderskap tycks dock vara av större betydelse än ålder och etnicitet för de intervjuade kvinnornas mottagande av artiklarna..

The aim with this essay was that on the basis of the care staff?s interpretations study how the unaccompanied refugee children consider cultural differences in the Swedish society and how it influenced the children. The study was carried out through six qualitative interviews with care workers at a municipal group accommodation for unaccompanied refugee children in the south of Sweden. The individual interviews were semi-structured and built on a list of questions with different subjects that were linked to the aim and question formulation for the essay. The analysis was carried out from Lazarus theory about coping and Antonovsky?s theory about ?SOC?, sense of coherence, with focus on the three components, comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness.

The aim of this study was to reach an understanding of how young adults with permanent residence permit, who came to Sweden as unaccompanied asylum seeking minors, experience their confrontation with the Swedish society. Another purpose was to understand how these young adults view Sweden and its inhabitants, as well as the experience of starting a new life in Sweden. In order to investigate these questions, a qualitative method consisting of five interviews with five young men was conducted.The results showed that the respondents feared the meeting with the immigration board and that they feel that school is divided in two groups, Swedes and immigrants. People with nonethnic Swedish background who have lived in Sweden for a long time are seen as Swedes, and in that meaning assimilated. One important conclusion we made was that the division between Swedes and immigrants have a negative influence on the immigrants´ integration in the society.

AbstractMany of the refugees around the world today are children. Some of these children are travelling alone without anyone looking after them. These children flee from their countries to save their lives and as they are children they need special care and protection. This thesis has investigated the protection given to unaccompanied children during the asylum process in the two key instruments in the area: the Convention of the Rights of the Child and the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. The Refugee Convention does not contain any procedural rights and does not specifically acknowledge children, even though they are included in the scope of the Convention.

The aim of this study was to understand how staff at residential homes for unaccompanied children experiences their professional role. The main focus of the study was on how the staff defines their professional role and how they handle the situation to be close and at the same time keep a distance towards the children in care. Five women and two men were interviewed at five different residential homes for unaccompanied children. By symbolic interactionism we are able to see that the professional roles are shaped through interaction with the children in care as well as in relation to colleagues. The main role for the staff is to build up a relationship with the children.
