Denna uppsats Àr en kritisk diskursanalys vars syfte Àr att studera hur begreppet ?barnets bÀsta? anvÀnds och tolkas i asylprocessen för ensamkommande barn. Jag har undersökt hur de tjÀnstemÀn som fattar beslut om asyl i fall med ensamkommande barn formulerar förestÀllningar om ?barnets bÀsta? och hur begreppet förhÄller sig till andra begrepp i den diskursiva praktiken. Detta har jag gjort genom att dels analysera de styrdokument som ska ligga till grund för besluten och dels beslut ifrÄn migrationsverket och domar ifrÄn  migrationsdomstolarna.

The aim of this two-year masters thesis is to look for the Swedish public libraryÂŽs core business, using theories about competence. The approach is qualitative. It is done by studying the Unesco Public Library Manifesto, the Swedish library legislation, the education in library and information science, two important Swedish library related journals and by asking public librarians about their work and point of view regarding competence.The research shows mainly two sides of the core competence of public librarians: information technology competence and literature knowledge. The conclusion is that the two meet in the idea of mass education, which could therefore be called the Swedish public libraryÂŽs core business..

A social constructive theory, a class perspective using concepts of Bourdieu and a perspective of law were used to analyse the material of data.The results showed that the courses of action varied from enactment and the policies of the municipality of Stockholm, unspecified theories of the development of children, the conception of what is normal and what children needs, the context in which they work, the development of the society and what they estimate that children needs when attending school.

This master?s thesis aims to study the practice of separating popular genres of fiction from the rest of the fiction stock, often seen at public libraries. The method being used is critical discourse analysis according to Norman Fairclough?s three-dimensional conception of discourse.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to highlight what is perceived as- and what is not perceived as- supportive and comforting, by the sick child in palliative care, and by its family. Method: Systematic literature review in which only scientific articles from the years 2001-2010 have been included. Analysis: A method inspired by qualitative content analysis was used. Results: The analysis revealed five categories of what the sick child and its family experienced as supportive and comforting - and what was perceived negatively - in the context of palliative care for children.

Det faktum att Sverige blir allt mer internationaliserat och samhĂ€llet mer mĂ„ngkulturellt vĂ€ckte ett intresse av att skriva om bröstarvingars arvsrĂ€tt ur ett sĂ„vĂ€l nationellt som internationellt perspektiv, dĂ€r resultatet avsĂ„gs stĂ€llas i relation till svensk IP-rĂ€tt om ordre public. Idag tar alla barn lika lott enligt 2 kap. 1 § ÄB. Principen om istadarĂ€tt intrĂ€der om arvlĂ„tarens barn avlider innan honom eller henne, dĂ„ arvlĂ„tarens barnbarn Ă€rver istĂ€llet. Bröstarvingar har alltid en rĂ€tt till hĂ€lften av sin arvslott enligt laglottsskyddet i 7 kap.

The aim of this study has been to investigate how the death of a close relative is described in pictures and texts through the eyes of a child character in three picture books. The analysis has also considered how the child character copes with the tragedy and how he or she finds support in the grief process. The books analysed here are Resan till Ugri-La-Brek (1987), FarvÀl, Rune (1986), and JÀttebra Olga! (2010). Since these are works of fiction, this study does not assume that they are an accurate reflection of reality, but the way the child characters act and cope with their grief has been compared with the findings of empirical research on how children react in real situations.The material has been examined by means of a qualitative literary analysis comparing the books according to the research questions. The study finds that the child characters receive evasive explanations from people around them concerning what death means, for instance that the person is sleeping.

Also their task is to support parents and take up a functional spare time for the children.

Public Service Àr ett svÄrdefinierat begrepp. De gamla idealen handlar mycket om enmedieideologi som baseras pÄ etermediernas möjligheter och begrÀnsningar, vilket har skapatsvÄrigheter nÀr Public Service har letat sig ut pÄ Internet.

This paper deals with the use of Internet at Swedish public libraries. The author asks whether public libraries should or should not limit access to information available on the Internet. Starting from the American discussion, concerning Internet at public libraries, the author shows the Swedish attitudes. The paper demonstrates that many Swedish public libraries have adopted rules forbidding retrieval of certain kinds of information, such as hard-core pornography and racist propaganda. The persons in charge of such actions claim that public libraries should provide high-quality educational literature and should not spread mass-produced, provocative information.
