SAMMANFATTNING Bakgrund: Historiskt sett har homosexualitet setts som ett psykiatrisk eller medicinskt problem. Trots att dagsläget till viss mån förändrats, kan homosexualitet och könsöverskridande identitet till följd av heteronormen ses som tabubelagda ämnen. HBTQ-personer har en ökad risk att utveckla psykiska sjukdomar, men undviker att söka vård till följd av tidigare erfarenheter eller rädsla. Sjuksköterskans uppgift är att generera acceptans och trygghet. Syfte: Sammanställa kunskap om HBTQ-personers erfarenheter av bemötandet i vården. Metod: Litteraturöversikt över 12 originalartiklar. Ingående studier är utförda i olika vårdinstanser i Sverige, USA och Nya Zeeland. Resultat: Resultaten visar att det finns både styrkor och brister i bemötandet i vården. Vissa informanter upplevde att vårdpersonalen var heteronormativt inställd, opåläst om HBTQ och i enstaka fall homo- och/eller transfobisk. Fler av informanterna kände oro inför att avslöja sin sexuella läggning för vårdpersonal. Men resultaten visar också att det finns vårdpersonal som enligt informanterna uppvisar acceptans och neutralitet. Slutsats: HBTQ-personers erfarenheter av bemötandet i vården är att det präglas av heteronormativitet och okunskap, men att det också finns vårdpersonal som är påläst och accepterande. / ABSTRACT Background: Through history, homosexuality has been recognized as a psychological or medicational condition. Regardless of present amendments, homosexuality and gender-specific identity may to some extent be seen as tabu. LGBTQ persons generally has an increased risk for developing psychological illnesses, but refrain from seeking care due to previous experiences or fear of poor treatment. The nurse shall generate acceptance and a sense of safety. Aim: To compile knowledge of LGBTQ persons´experiences of treatment in health care. Method: An overview of 13 original articles. The studies viewed in this overview are performed in varied care units in Sweden, the USA and New Zealand. Results: The results point to both strengths and shortcomings of the treatment towards LGBTQ persons in health care. Some informants sensed a heteronormative attitude and ignorance among the healthcare professionals, and in some cases homo- and/or transphobia. Many informants felt uneasy about revealing their sexual orientation to the health care professionals. But the results also show that some healthcare professionals expressed acceptance and neutrality. Conclusion: LGBTQ persons experience a sense of heteronormativity and ignorance in regards to treatment in healthcare, but there are healthcare professionals that are educated and accepting.

<p>This dissertation examines the history of Jews in Iraq from 1951 to 1973 and their associations in diaspora thereafter. Iraqi Jews trace their community back 2500 years to the Babylonian exile and Jews played prominent roles in modern Iraqi politics, society, and culture until 1950-1951, when most Iraqi Jews left following a period of anti-Jewish hostility. The history of the remaining Jewish community after 1951 is an important case study of Jews in the Middle East (sometimes referred to as Sephardi or Mizrahi Jews) during a period when many such communities faced violence and displacement amidst the Arab-Israeli conflict. Their history also provides unique insights into changes in Iraq’s political culture under the various revolutionary regimes that followed the 1958 revolution. This dissertation shows that Jews in Iraq after 1951 successfully re-established a communal and social presence until the Israeli victory in the Six Day War of June 1967 prompted renewed anti-Jewish hostility. However, this dissertation argues that it was the Ba’th Party coup in July 1968 that led to the depopulation of the remaining Jewish community as the party manipulated anti-Israeli sentiment in its effort to consolidate power in Iraq, unleashing a deadly campaign of terror on innocent Jews.</p>

This study is a comparative analysis of the marginalizarion of the Baha'is in Iran and the Ahmadis in Pakistan over the last forty years. It explores the relationship between Islam, the ulama and the state as explanatory variables. In particular, the increasing political influence of fundamentalist ulama and their closer association with state mechanisms, accompanied by the creation of a "purist," "Islamic" state ideology in Iran and Pakistan, leads to greater discrimination against these two heterodox Muslim minorities. The outcome is continuing institutionalized, state-sponsored discrimination that denies substantial legal, political and social rights to the Baha'is and the Ahmadis.

Nashville, Tennessee, is home to nearly fifteen thousand ethnic Kurds. They have come in four distinct groups over the course of two decades to escape the hardship and horror of brutal central government policies, some directed toward their extinction. Many of that number are young people who were infants or toddlers when they were whisked away to the safety of temporary way stations prior to their arrival in the United States. What that means is that these youth have spent the majority of their formative years within the context of the American culture. This thesis is a study of how they view their place within and/or apart from that culture and the one into which they were born, the Kurdish one. My contention is that they all live a double life. Over the course of a seven-month period in 2013, I conducted recorded interviews with eleven Kurds in Nashville, ages 16-26. Most were young women but all represented a healthy cross-section of experience as third-culture kids. What I discovered is presented in three chapters dealing with the issues of emigration/immigration, gender, and identity. That is prefaced by a brief history of the Kurdish nation and of their movement out of Kurdistan, as well as a discussion of my fieldwork procedures and products. My interviewees present their perspectives on each of these issues through select transcript portions provided in each chapter. My thesis was direct: young Kurds in Nashville live a duality in which neither part, American or Kurdish, is equally valued or shared at all times. They live in two worlds but are not and, perhaps, cannot be fully invested in either. That is what their words spoke to me. But just as clearly, there was an unrivaled individuality in the way that every one of the eleven related to each community of which they were a part. Some were closer to one than the other while others attempted a seemingly uncomfortable straddle. Either way, they managed the hand they were dealt as they deemed proper and most did so remarkably well.

A comparison of the spoken language of adolescent Black males living in three southern suburban communities was conducted. The results indicated certain trends by locale in the areas of morphology, phonology, syntax and semantics. The findings affirm the assumption that it is possible to determine likenesses and differences in the Black English spoken by Black males living in three isolated communities with a rating instrument.
