The aim of this study is to understand which roles institutional personnel in HVB-homes (homes for care or living), that include animals ascribe the animals for the Young clients in treatment. Using the termsrole, role-taking, primary socialisation and secondary socialisation within the perspective of symbolic interactionism, we intend to analyse the expericences from the institutional personnel of what roles the animals are ascribed in treatment of Young clients.

Other roles that the institutional personnel ascribe the animals for the Young clients are: teaching in order to develop empathy and responsibility; helping in therapy situation and having an activating role.

This master thesis in library- and information science is about the intermediary function of the library room from an environment-psychological point of view. Young people are a group in society who often reduce their visits to the library when growing up. There are lots of reasons for this maybe more attractive activities occur outside the library doors, making the Young choose not to use the library. But if the library interior is attractive in itself, and has a welcoming atmosphere, there might be a change and the Young people may well choose to pay the library a visit. What is important to Young people how do they want their library room to look? Our purpose is to see how the physical environment affects Young people in libraries.

The aim of this masters thesis is to examine the supply of magazines and periodicals for Young people at the library. We also examine Young peoples reading of magazines and periodicals and compare the librarys selection with what Young people read. The main questions of this thesis are: What do Young people do at the library on their spare time? What weekly magazines and periodicals do Young people read? What range of magazines and periodicals do the city- and the school library have? Where is the department located and how is it designed? What kind of relationship is there between Young peoples reading and the selection? To answer these questions we have done an interview with a librarian and a questionnaire among 13-16 year old children. We found that it is not often that Young people read their magazines and periodicals at the library.

The aim of this paper is to examine how Young men of foreign background are pictured in the realistic adolescence novels of 2009. In my process of work I have used a classical schedule for literature analysis from which I have worked out a few questions to use on my texts. The questions are related to the main characters and some of the most important minor characters ? all are Young men with foreign background ? and focuses on aspects of for example where they live, who their friends are and what they think about and dream of.To put these pictures into a wider perspective I compare my results with the well known stereotype picturing of men with foreign background in media. I then discuss how or if this affects the Young men?s picture of themselves and the majority society?s picture of them.

The purpose of this study was to investigate to what extent  Young adults use media to create the image of themselves. The questions we wanted to answer was as follows: what does the media use of Young adults look like compared to their attitudes towards media content; what awareness do they have of other Young adults attitudes concerning media content; and finally, how do these attitudes affect their own media use?Media consumption is a great part of  the daily lives of Young adults living in Sweden: the national  average media consumption is seven hours a day, for 15-24 year olds. This provides a new way for Young adults to express their identity - by showing their use of different media content, they can change other's perception of themselves.The method we used in our study was a combination between a quantitative and a qualitative method. We first made a survey in three classes with senior year high school-students, in a Swedish school.

The results show that Young people know that education is important to get a jobbut at the same time the majority says that they would leave school if they got a job-offer.
