Arbetsförmedlingen är den myndighet i Sverige som har lägst förtroende bland samtliga myndigheter hos medborgarna, enligt undersökningar som genomförts av TNS SIFO. Myndigheten har de senaste tre åren, enligt TNS SIFO undersökningar, hamnat på bottenplacering. Syftet med föreliggande studie är att öka förståelsen för en grupp arbetssökandes upplevelser och erfarenheter i mötet med arbetsförmedlare på Arbetsförmedlingen. Ytterligare ett syfte är att belysa förtroendekapitalets betydelse i mötet mellan arbetsförmedlare och kund. De teoretiska perspektiv som har tillämpats i studien är Mathiesens teorier om hur makten påverkar individen samt förtroendets diskurs så som det uttrycks av bl.a.

Det finns idag många i Sverige som bär på mer än ett kulturellt och etniskt ursprung. Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på hur unga med två olika etniska kulturer skapar sin identitet. För uppsatsen har fem kvinnor respektive fem män vars föräldrar kommer från olika kulturer intervjuats. Alla intervjupersonerna är uppvuxna i Sverige och har starka band till landet.De teoretiska utgångspunkterna består bland annat av erkännandeteorier, kulturanalyser samt identitetsstudier. Jag har för analysen använt mig av kvalitativa metoder såsom diskursanalys och textanalys.

During adolescence the teenager tries to become an independent individual, something that for many individuals can be experienced as"a hard time". In early childhood the individual was closely connected to the parents, but during adolescence friends and new contacts become more important. Studies in developmental psychology have most often adopted a parent-perspective, which is why a child-perspective is required. The aim of this study is therefore to measure the teenager's relationship with parents and friends and to look for possible correlations between these. As a means of measuring quality in the relationships, the IPPA, the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, was used.

The study aims to contribute knowledge about children's perceptions of the leisure-time as a learning environment. The study can be seen as an attempt to highlight the possible learning in the leisure-time, formally or informally.The study is based on two group interviews with a total of 11 children and was conducted by an interview guide with question areas to be discussed freely so that the children could give as full an answer as possible.Main results of the study show that children feel that they are staying at the leisure-time to get care when their parents are working and that they primarily associate the leisure-time with playing. The results show however that children feel that they learn things when participating in the leisure-time teaches controlled activities.It is possible to draw conclusions about the child actually experienced the leisure-time as a learning environment, but it can be difficult to identify when and how learning actually occurs. However, children do not perceive that there is learning while they play..

The overall aim with this essay was to study how counsellors at upper secondary school work with mental illness among youths and compare this with what research and theories advocate. This because there has been a rise in the number of people, especially in the age-group 16-24 years, suffering from different degrees of mental illnesses. The school can in some aspect contribute to cause mental illness but it also consists of good opportunities to offer counselling and work to prevent mental illness among the students. This study consists of five qualitative interviews and two short telephone interviews with school counsellors. During the interviews they expressed their thoughts concerning factors that causes mental illness among youths and gave an account of how they work with prevention, counselling and collaboration.

This paper discusses honour related crimes and the judicial process within the legal system in a Swedish context. The empirical base of the study is four cases, with an honour background, and we have used discourse analysis as our method. We have developed four tools for analysing the sentences with which we observed aspects such as; language, the roles of victim and perpetrator that the involved can undertake, the different identities that the sentence might create and finally how the stories change when they enter the legal context. We connect our results to our theoretic backgrounds such as Kolfjord who discusses the legalization of conflicts, the holistic and individual perspective, the legal system as a theoretic background and finally the UN:s definition of honour crimes. These four theoretic perspectives have helped analyse the empiric base.

The purpose of this essay was to study which arguments social workers used in the basis of their estimation concerning young people of the age 13-18 given an aid, a contact person (swe. kontaktperson). The purpose was also to describe how the legal paragraph, regarding contact person, is regulated and then compare the arguments made by the social worker with the intentions expressed by the legislator. To answer our purposes we studied the law and the intentions expressed by the legislator, which is the foundation for the legal paragraph that regulates contact person, 3 chap. 6 §.

Studien belyser hedersrelaterat våld ur ett rättssociologiskt perspektiv, där vi fokuserar på den samhälliga normen kontra den rättsliga. Vår övergripande forskningsfråga är skillnaderna mellan östs synsätt att se på hedersrelaterat våld mot västs. För att få svar på denna fråga har vi använt oss av en fallstudieundersökning, den genomfördes med hjälp av metoderna dokumentanalys och djupintervju.De svar vi fick fram genom fallstudien visade på att det finns klara skillnader mellan lagar och normer mellan öst och väst, detta ledde i sig till att det uppstår kulturkrockar.Hedersrelaterat våld handlar om att förtrycka kvinnan, de mänskliga rättigheterna respekteras inte. Lagstiftningen behöver effektiviseras och förstärka åtgärder för att garantera rättvisa och jämlikhet för kvinnor, deras ekonomiska, sociala, kulturella och politiska villkor måste förbättras för att vi ska få bukt med hedersrelaterat våld. Resultatbilden av hur lagen och socialtjänsten ser ut och vad som inte fungerar, visar på att det finns möjligheter till förbättringar, detta har både utrikesministern och jämställdhetsministern insätt.

Olika typer av projekt har blivit vanliga idag, och många är inriktade på att integrera invandrare inom skilda områden i samhället. Vi har gjort en empirisk undersökning av ett specifikt projekt i Landskrona som benämns IK ISI, och vars målsättning är att synliggöra idrottsrörelsen som en viktig samverkanspartner i integrationsarbetet. Vi ville ta reda på om projekt kunde vara ett meningsfullt sätt att integrera vuxna invandrare, samt vilka idéer invandrarna hade om integration.Resultaten fick vi fram genom tematiserade, semistrukturerade intervjuer med kursdeltagare och handledare, samt genom samtalsintervjuer med projektledaren. Vi har i slutdiskussionen analyserat resultaten med hjälp av litteratur och tidigare forskning inom området.Vi kom fram till att projektet inom flera områden var på väg att uppnå sina mål och att deltagarna i överlag endast hade positiva erfarenheter så här långt, och de tyckte att utformningen av projektet var bra. De deltagande invandrarna tyckte sig märka förbättringar i svenska språket och att deras nätverk delvis hade utvidgats, och förhoppningar fanns om kommande arbete inom föreningarna.

SAMMANFATTNING Mobbing är ett dolt men välkänt problem på många svenska arbetsplatser. Syftet med denna uppsats är; hur informanterna upplever, beskriver och förstår mobbning på arbetsplatsen. Genom att låta ett antal personer som själva anser sig vara eller ha varit utsatta för mobbning själva berätta om detta. Jag har delat upp syftet i tre frågeställningar:Vad berättar de intervjuade om det de varit med om?Vad möjliggör mobbning på arbetsplatsen enligt informanterna?Vad saknas på arbetsplatsen enligt informanterna?En kvalitativ metod med en hermeneutisk ansats har använts.
