Mitt syfte med uppsatsen är att se hur bibliotekarier som arbetar dagligen med invandrargrupper, ser på sitt uppdrag med att främja integration samt hur arbetet med programaktiviteter kan ligga till grund för integrering. I undersökningen intervjuas 4 bibliotekarier på 3 biblioteket som arbetar mycket med integrering och invandrare som användargrupp. I resultatet framkommer det att arbetet med programaktiviteter kan främja integrering eftersom det bjuder in till både dialog och deltagande.  Dock anser bibliotekarierna att det är möjligt att göra integrering till en del utav varje arbetsmoment som sker på biblioteket..

Denna uppsats syftar till att tydliggöra de mediala diskurser som finns om integration och utanförskap i tidningsartiklar. Tidningsartiklarna sträcker sig över två tidsperioder, 1996-1997 och 2006-2007. En frågeställning som uppsatsen försöker besvara är om analysens tidningsartiklar går att koppla till Ruth Levitas diskursmodeller om socialt utanförskap. Den centrala teoretiska utgångspunkten är ett postkolonialt perspektiv. Uttrycket ?vi och dem? utgör en röd tråd genom hela uppsatsen.

In the early morning of February 24th, 2022, Russian troops crossed the border to Ukraine which started the full-scale war between Ukraine and Russia. Even though the war does not directly involve the EU or member states of the union, it affects the lives of the European people. While previous research has established that general attitudes towards the European Union and European integration has changed in some countries within the Union since the start of the war, the question remains how attitudes towards EU and European integration has changed across EU. A second unanswered question is whether populations in Western and Eastern Europe have responded differently, leading to a potential divergence or convergence in attitudes. The theory ?Rally around the flag? suggests that an outright war that border to EU will increase support for the political leadership in EU.

The purpose of my work is to study what attitude pupils with immigrant background as well as native pupils have towards the subject Physical Education (PE). An other purpose with my work is to contribute in a way that all newly graduated PE teachers think of making the subject PE to a subject that all pupils regardless gender or background can get advantage of.During the whole work I compare pupils with immigrant background to native pupils and boys to girls. The reason why I compared boys to girls is that I want to study how satisfied girls are compared to boys when it has to do with the subject PE. I consider that boys take more and more space in PE lessons.The method I have used is both interviews and surveys. I chose a school in Stockholm.

The main focus of this master?s thesis concerns the relation between subject representation, power and gender. Classification systems and subject heading lists are products of their cultural and social context and some subjects and disciplines are given a greater value than others. Our aim in this thesis is twofold; to discuss and critically analyse the prevailing gender norms that are expressed trough classification systems and subject heading lists and to examine how they manage to represent gender studies as a multidisciplinary subject in theory as well as in practice. We are also discussing the particular problems with the representation of multidisciplinary subjects in general.

This study is a text analysis of 30 master?s theses, written by students at the Swedish School of Library and Information Science in Borås 2005-2008, concerning the subject sociology of literature. The aim is to twofold; to show how the subject sociology of literature manifests itself within these LIS theses and to produce discourse arguments concerning sociology of literature as an LIS subject. The theorists I refer to in my study are Thomas. S Kuhn, Frickel & Gross and Richard Whitley, who devoted themselves to the theory of science.

Title: "It is logical, but not logical at all compared to every other logical thing." - A study about how students in upper secondary school reflect about their studies in Pitch and music theory.Pitch and music theory is a compulsory subject for music students in the art programme of upper secondary school of Sweden.

Qualitative group interviews were carried out with two student groups from the first and second year of the upper secondary school.

Vi har funnit skillnader i hur barnen upplever den sociala och lärandesituationen i de respektive verksamheterna, framför allt vad gäller sociala grupptillhörigheten och leken tillsammans med de äldre barnen. Resultatet genomsyras av att förskoleklassbarnen har olika förutsättningar gällande de sociala och lärande situationerna beroende på förskoleklassens organisatoriska hemvist..

Syfte: Vårt syfte med denna studie är att undersöka invandrarungdomars upplevelse av delaktighet och integration till det svenska samhället. Vi vill öka förståelsen för språkets betydelse för integration och delaktighet. Frågeställningar: 1. Upplever ungdomarna att de är en del av det svenska samhället och därmed integrerade? Har det i så fall någon betydelse för vilket land de identifierar sig med, det vill säga ursprungslandet eller Sverige?2.

The purpose of this study is to look into what part libraries take in the integration of mentally disabled persons into the society. What I wanted to know more about was how the mentally disabled persons experience the library. I also wanted to find out what librarians and persons working with mentally disabled persons have to say about the part libraries take in the integration of mentally disabled into the society. The study is based on interviews and literature studies. I have interviewed two librarians, four mentally disabled persons and two persons working with mentally disabled people.

The aim of this essay is to investigate how patrons, librarians and indexers use subject headings to describe and index fiction literature. We wanted to know if the groups concentrated on different levels in the text from a semiotic viewpoint, where words either can describe the manifest/connotative meaning or the latent/denotative. To investigate this we had four fiction indexers, four librarians working with fiction for adults and eight library users read and index four short stories. After that we did interviews asking them about how they were thinking when describing the texts, how they use subject headings, about their opinions on indexing and, in the interviews with the librarians and indexers, about their usual work assignments. The subject headings they listed were analysed according to the level they described.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att skapa en förståelse för hur integration och etnisk tillhörighet kan påverka ensamkommande barns identitetsutveckling. Uppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ ansats där empirin består utav semistrukturerade intervjuer med fyra unga vuxna som kom till Sverige som ensamkommande. Vi har analyserat intervjumaterialet genom att utgå ifrån Meads teori kring symbolisk interaktionism, Antonovskys tankar om att individen behöver en känsla av sammanhang och empowerment. Resultatet visar att språkkunskaper, utbildning och meningsfulla fritidsaktiviteter är viktiga faktorer för en god integration för ensamkommande barn, och att deras etniska bakgrund är viktig för deras identitet. Hur integrerade de är påverkar både deras möjligheter till att "lyckas" i Sverige och ökar chanser för en starkare identitetskänsla.

This paper discusses difficulties and Failures with being a Neutral and objective scientist when writing about a subject which he or she is dedicated too.The purpose with this paper is to study the knowledge process, in other words, is some knowledge harder to see due to the scientist dedication to the subject or is some knowledge constructed due to the scientist dedication to the subject studied, and the process of intermediating, in other words, how to validate the results. Subject which is discussions are scientist objectivity, sociologist dilemmas, and different roles of scientists. The paper also deals with the importance of different perspectives and how ours choice of perspective influences ours research. Ethical state of conditions in interview situations and how we can reflect and criticise our own part and attitudes as an interviewer are also discussed in this paper..

The aim of the study was to examine how the public libraries participate in the integration of immigrants in the Malmö-/Lund region. Librarians and immigrants were interviewed about the services offered by the libraries in the area of multiculturalism and what kind of service that is requested by the immigrants. The interviews also included possibilities to contribute to increased knowledge among the native Swedish people about different cultures represented among immigrants in Sweden. From the qualitative analyses it is concluded that the libraries represented in the study contribute to the integration of immigrants. The respondents gave multiple examples of the libraries? usefulness in the integration process by offering immigrants possibilities to develop their knowledge in the Swedish language, and also to find information about the Swedish society and culture.

 Syfte med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur romer upplever sin integration i Malmö. Vi har använt oss av den kvalitativa metoden då vi har genomfört sammanlagt åtta intervjuer med män och kvinnor med romsk bakgrund. Vi har utgått från två sociologiska teorier: Pierre Bourdieus två begrepp, habitus och kapital och Erving Goffmans teori om stigma samt att arbetet präglas genomgående av begreppet integration. Dessa teorier anser vi vara relevanta för vårt valda ämne där habitus och de olika kapitalen har som syfte att förklara hur våra intervjupersoner betraktar sin integration i Malmö genom de olika möjligheter de har. När personer upplever svårigheter med integration kan detta på olika nivåer associeras till Goffmans teori som handlar om stigmatisering.
