In this study we examine whether privacy invasions are associatedwith poor parent-adolescent relationship. We also examined if therewere differences between mothers and fathers in the frequency oftheir invasions, as well as the intent of those invasions. Lastly, welooked at associations between privacy invasions and parentadolescentrelationships and if these were modified by parent oradolescent gender. We hypothesized that intentional and frequentprivacy invasions would have a stronger association with poorparent-adolescent relationship than accidental and infrequentinvasions of privacy. The data for this study was selected from alarger database. Participants consisted of 78 adolescents, 39 girlsand 39 boys. Data were collected through questionnaires that bothadolescent and parent answered separately. The adolescents filledout the questionnaires at school in different classrooms. Weconcluded that frequent privacy invasions had a significantassociation with poor parent-adolescent relationship for mothers,but not fathers. Furthermore, the interaction between the frequencyof privacy invasions and the intent was significant for mattering tomothers. However, no significant relations were found for fathers. / I den här studien undersöker vi huruvida integritets-inkräktande ärförknippade med dålig förälder-ungdom relation. Vi undersökteockså om det fanns skillnader mellan mammor och pappor ifrekvensen av deras invasioner, liksom avsikten med dessainvasioner. Slutligen såg vi på associationer mellan integritetsinkräktandeoch föräldra-ungdoms relationer och om dessamodifierades av föräldrar eller ungdomars kön. Vi förutsåg attavsiktligt och frekvent integritets-inkräktande skulle ha en starkareförknippning med dålig förälder-ungdom relationer än oavsiktligaoch sällsynta invasioner av integritet. Uppgifter för denna studievaldes från en större databas. Deltagarna i studien bestod av 78ungdomar, 39 flickor och 39 pojkar. Uppgifterna samlades ingenom flera frågeformulär som både ungdomar och föräldrarbesvarade separat. Ungdomarna fick besvara frågeformulären iskolan i olika klassrum. Slutsatsen var att mängden integritetsinskränkandefaktiskt hade en signifikant koppling med dåligförälder-ungdom relation för mödrar, men inte för fäder. Äveninteraktionen mellan mängden integritetskränkande och derasavsikt visade sig vara signifikant för mödrar. Dock fanns ingensignifikant relation för fäder.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att belysa hur ungdomar framställs i offentliga dokument. Genom att analysera en statlig utredning som handlar om ungdomar och deras möjlighet till inflytande över samhällsutvecklingen, kan olika maktstrukturer upptäckas och förstås. Detta har gjorts genom att använda Carol Bacchis ansats för kritisk policyanalys, på så sätt är det möjligt att analysera hur ungdomar framställs i dokumentet. Uppsatsens teoretiska och metodologiska utgångspunkter är i enlighet med den ansatsen nära sammankopplade och i vissa fall inte ens möjliga att skilja åt. Analys och resultat visar på hur unga som grupp inte definieras tydligt, samtidigt som gruppen ändå konstrueras som ointresserade att delta i det politiska. De konsekvenser som problematiseringen leder till är att de hinder som målas upp runt ungdomars möjligheter till inflytande främst skulle vara ekonomiska. Vilket möjliggör ett fortsatt exkluderade av ungdomar som grupp.

The main purpose of this thesis was to examine the collection management at five different hospital libraries´ children and youth’s section to discern different roles of the collections. We made qualitative interviews with five hospital librarians. The purpose was also to see how the collection development affected the different roles of the collections. We used two theories. One involves six dimensions of collection development and the other involves the purposes of collections which are divided in to four different roles. The hospital librarians had the users in mind when working with the collections. The users have different needs, not only because they are children and young people but also because they are patients. We could see that many different circumstances had an impact on the collection development, such as limited and narrow spaces, short treatment times for patients and low circulation on children and youth material. The three roles we could distinguish were the Dispensing role, the Advisory role and the Symbolic role. The librarians tried to have a diverse range of materials to satisfy the different needs. The librarians made certain collections visible by different headlines that would appeal to the users. We could see that materials with medical substance were prioritized in many ways. This material is important for both patients and the medical staff. Medical material also justified the patient hospital libraries existence in times when the medical libraries get more and more space. / Uppsatsnivå: D

Puberteten är en unik utvecklingsperiod i människans liv. Sexualiteten ses ofta som en central del i att gå från barndomen till vuxenlivet och det är oftast under den här perioden i livet som kvinnor för första gången kommer i kontakt med preventivmedel. Tidigare studier gjorda inom ämnet har visat att unga kvinnor var tveksamma till att använda p-piller eller slutade med sina p-piller då de oroade sig för bieffekterna. Andra orsaker till att de valde att inte använda preventivmedel var att det kunde påverka sexlusten på ett negativt sätt. Sverige har idag en högsta notering i abortstatistiken bland de nordiska länderna, även antalet personer som blir smittade av klamydia ökar. Anledningen till att klamydia sprids så snabbt i Sverige är den låga kondomanvändningen. Svenska ungdomar är sämst i Europa när det gäller att använda kondom. Syftet med studien är att beskriva unga kvinnors inställning till och kunskap om olika preventivmedelsmetoder. En kvalitativ studie har genomförts med induktiv ansats. Datainsamling gjordes med parintervjuer av tio unga kvinnor. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att de unga kvinnorna generellt har mycket negativ attityd till att använda kondom. Däremot hade nästan alla en positiv inställning till sina p-piller / p-stav och såg detta närmast som en självklarhet att använda som skydd mot graviditet då de började vara sexuellt aktiva. Generellt så var kunskapsnivån låg om hur de olika preventivmedelsmetoderna fungerade. Dettaberodde enligt deltagarna på bristande information framförallt ifrån ungdomsmottagningarna, det fanns heller inget intresse av att söka information på egen hand. En slutsats av resultatet är att ungdomarna behöver mer tid hos barnmorskan på ungdomsmottagningen för att kunna ställa frågor och få information om olika preventivmedelsmetoder. / Program: Barnmorskeutbildning

The aim of this thesis is to examine patterns in the way young adultschoose the literature they read, and to assess the importance of genderas a factor. Using qualitative methods, the empirical material has beenbased on research on gender and reading, and on three group interviewswith participants aged between 16 and 18 years old; there were betweenfour and six participants in each group. The participants were allstudents at the same school and the interviews were carried out in theschool library. The theoretical framework focuses on literature onreading and gender. In the analysis, the study is related to the theoriesof Louise M. Rosenblatt and Yvonne Hirdman.The conclusion is that young adults read for a variety of reasons, butfirst and foremost to find the meaning of their lives and to learn how tobecome good and successful adults.The majority of girls in the study are interested in reading aboutother young adults who live lives they can identify with. Those whoclaim to be readers, read to escape from reality; they love to betransported to a world which is totally different from the one theyknow.The boys read to find out things, their reading has a purpose. They readboth fiction and non-fiction. The boys are in the process of developingtheir male genus, and have no wish to be associated with female values.All the young adults claim that it is important to be oneself. In real life,however, it proves very difficult to live up to this ideal. / Program: Bibliotekarie

<p><strong>This essay reflects on the thoughts and experiences of social workers in child protection agencies when it comes to talking about sexuality with teenagers, age 13-20, who is being subjected to inquiry. The research is qualitative and based on five semi-structured interviews. It has a phenomenological position and has been analyzed hermeneutically through cognitive and gender theory. Previous research shows that youths who get in contact with child protection often have issues about their sexuality. This study show that social workers in the agencies lack knowledge about this issue and that they seldom talks about it with the teenagers or their own colleagues. They are however aware of risks involved with the youth’s sexual activities and the problems that may evolve from it. Despite this they sometimes avoid the subject. Their reason is that they are afraid of investigating more than necessary and by doing so offend the clients. Sexuality for them is a private area and they feel that they need motivation for asking certain questions. The study also shows that they find it easier to talk with teenagers of the same gender as themselves. The teenagers therefore get varied help and treatment. </strong></p>

<p>The youth of today grow up with all the new ways to communicate that new technology provides. A lot of young people chat on the Internet. Adults often lack experience and knowledge about this way to communicate. This is a study of teenagers and adults values and views on teenagers online chatting. It focuses on area of use, meaning and effects on young people. Four teenagers and four adults were interviewed. Sociological and social psychological perspectives where used to analyze the interviews. The results showed that both teenagers and adults agree that chatting on the Internet is a central part of young peoples every day life. Chatting is seen as a way to keep in contact with both old and new acquaintances. Teenagers and adults have quite different views on the advantages and disadvantage in using chat to communicate. In comparison to real life meetings, both teenagers and adults, think of chat-meetings as less complete. The study suggests that young people develop contextual competence, allowing them to act in various social worlds.</p>

<p>The purpose of this study is to look into how detained swedish juveniles, in the ages between 15 an 20, experience time in custody. The primary questions are; To what exctent do juveniles understand their situation? To what exctent can juveniles handle their situation? Do the juveniles find meaning in their situation and if so, what aspects of the detention is considered meaningful? The study is based on seven qualitative interviews with young men detained at a youth custody ward at Kronobergshäktet in Stockholm. The theory used to analyze the interview results is Antonovskys theory of sence of coherence (SOC). A salient feature in the young mens experiences was that all of them had the ability to regard some of the aspects of the detention as meaningful. These positive aspects includes time for reflection and a possibility to break destructive patterns. Further more, it was evident that most of the respondents experienced that their lives contained elements of importance, such as family, education and future goals. Nevertheless, isolation, lack of contact with family and friends, powerlessness and worries about the future, were aspects of the detention that had a negative influence on all of the respondents in variyng degrees.</p>

<p>The purpose of this study was to review a group of youths in a municipality which all had committed criminal acts. The study is based on 66 youths between the ages of 13 and 20 that were all matters for the social services. The social inquiries of the youths where reviewed using a quantitative method. Their backgrounds where examined to identify what type of risk factors they had and what type of crimes they had committed with an aim to detect if there were a relationship between the risk factors and the art of the crime. The result of the study showed that the majority had committed crimes against another person and the risk factors included family related factors and school problems. The study finds that not those with the most amounts of risk factors commit the worst crimes, a result that in some aspects is contrary to earlier research.</p>

<p>Studiens syfte har varit att försöka förstå vilka faktorer som har varit bidragande för formandet av attityder till skola, relationer och samhälle för fyra ungdomar med annan etnisk bakgrund än svensk. Fokus har varit vilken roll deras etniska bakgrund har haft, där erfarenheter av diskriminering, vardagsrasism och exkludering utifrån stigma kan få betydelse. Undersökningen har byggt på kvalitativa samtalsintervjuer med fyra 19-åriga killar och tjejer på en gymnasieskola. Studien utgår från en hermeneutisk ansats och analysen bygger på socialpsykologiska teorier kring grupper, social påverkan och exkludering. Studien visar på hur inkludering inom skolan, relationer och samhälle här har lett till övervägande positiva attityder. Vi finner även stark social påverkan både inom skolan och i familjen på ungdomarnas attityder. De strategier som ungdomarna använt för att handskas med upplevelser utifrån sin etniska bakgrund står i stark kontrast till de strategier som urskiljs i forskning med ungdomar i segregerade förorter i Sverige. Detta belyser samband kring klass och geografi men ger också en förståelse för hur dessa ungdomar funnit andra strategier och förhållningssätt.</p>
