The uniqe with this thesis is that the focus is on two different indviduals from Jugoslavia or with Jugoslavian background. Meanwhile these chosen individuals are well-known in the media-sector.   From a educational, cultural and also emotinal ponit of view this thesis will illustrate two different understandings about the purpose of this thesis. The purpose is; to explain the situation through qualitative interviews with Sladjan Osmanagic from the commercial channel VIASAT Sport and Emir Osmanbegovic from the Swedish Public Service, TV4.

This essay focuses on the elderly and their religious beliefs and is based on the origin idea of a secular Sweden, but where immigration has been the source of additional various religious affiliations. This study intends to nuance the problems that previous researchers focused on when doing research on immigration, by interviewing staff members of nursing homes in immigrant dense areas, especially Malmoe, Gothenburg and Stockholm. The aim is to investigate how the allocation of residents, with different religious than Protestant Christians, is distributed at nursing homes and to see if there is a need for adjustments. Additionally, the thesis about immigrants and immigrants' identity and attitudes to Swedish society is discussed with John Berry´s acculturation theories and strategies. The results show that the majority of the nursing homes have residents with different religious affiliations and that some practical adjustments have been done, but it also shows that nursing homes have changed to the extent that they have adapted to a secular society. Ignorance and prejudice contribute to the problem in terms of seeing all residents as individuals and at the same time ensuring adaption according to all their needs, which is exemplified in the solutions made by using multi-cultural staff members and specialized departments. The relationship between nursing homes and the Swedish church continues but the role of the church service has changed. However, the idea that residents with different affiliations are free to exercise their religion in private occurs simultaneously as it is highlighted that immigrants is assimilated into a secular Swedish society. This in turn means that not every residents need is seen to at the investigated nursing homes.

Resultat från tidigare studier visar att gruppens normer formar individens attityder tilltolerans. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka könsskillnader till invandrartolerans, medinformanter ur samma arbetsgrupp. Antalet deltagare i studien var 8, varav 4 var kvinnor och4 var män på ett HVB-hem (Hem för Vård och Boende). Studiens ansats var kvalitativ medsemistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultatet och de kategorier som hittades i studien var:Invandring lönsamt på sikt, Göra skillnad ger utbyte och konflikter, Media om invandring ochAnnan etnisk tillhörighet. Några samhällsfaktorer som påverkar till invandrartoleransbeskrevs, dessa var politisk styrning, utbildningsnivå, ekonomi och kultur, mediapåverkan,och gruppåverkan. I studien beskrevs också teorin The Nature of Prejudice som förklaradehur en attityd bildas, förenad med invandrartolerans. Resultatet i studien gav inte någraskillnader mellan mäns och kvinnors tolerans till invandring utifrån grupperspektivet, kopplattill de sex samhällsfaktorerna som framställdes i studien. / Results from previous studies show that the standards of the group largely shape theindividual`s attitudes to tolerance. The purpose of the study was to investigate genderdifferences in immigrant tolerance, with informants from the same working group. Thenumbers of participants in the study was 8, which 4 were women and 4 were men from thesame working group at a HVB-home (Home for Care and Housing). The study`s approachwas qualitative with semistructured interviews. The result and the categories found in thestudy were: Immigration profitable in the long term, Making difference in exchanges andconflicts, Media on immigration and Other ethnicity. Some societal factors influencingimmigrant tolerance were described, these were political control, level of education,economics and culture, media impact and group impact. The study also described the theoryof The Nature of Prejudice that explained how an attitude is formed, associated withimmigrant tolerance. The result of the study did not show any differences between men`s andwomen`s tolerance for immigration based on the group`s perspective, linked on the sixsocietal factors presented in the study.

The Swedish immigration policy is a subject constantly under scrutiny, especially in the media. The Dublin treaty, which came into effect in 2003, has meant stricter regulations for the handling of asylum seekers, which in turn increases the requirements of the officials at the Swedish Migration Board. Consequently, the staff at the Swedish Migration Board is daily facing difficulties when deciding who is to stay or not. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate how these criteria in the Dublin Treaty, are used in the daily work of the officials. Emphasizing these problematic aspects of the Dublin Treaty, this study aims to answer the following two questions: - How has the Dublin Treaty been implemented in Swedish legislation by the officials at the Swedish Migration Board? - How do these officials work to implement this treaty? This case study is based on interviews with a number of officials working at the Swedish Migration Board. To complement the interviews, a brief summary of the Dublin Treaty, is also included, in order to explain its contents. To analyze the material, a number of important aspects of the Dublin Treaty have been chosen. These aspects also constitute the analytical method. Conclusively, the officials working at the Swedish Migration Board have succeeded in the intention of implementing the Dublin Treaty. The treaty is well incorporated in the Swedish legislation, which is crucial in order for the immigration policy to function properly.

Denna studie syftar till att genom designforskning undersöka hur det pedagogiska greppet Learning in the wild kan implementeras i en applikation, Live Language Coach­app, för att stödja och uppmuntra inlärning av svenska som andraspråk. Den primära målgruppen för applikationen är nyanlända till Sverige. I denna studie har författarna utforskat och dokumenterat olika konceptuella angreppssätt för en implementation av Learning in the wild i Live Language Coach­app och ger i studien förslag på en exprimentell lösning som kan arbetas vidare på. Metoder som använts för datainsamling är: intervjuer med målgruppen för applikationen. Skapandet av personas utifrån intervjuerna, som tillsammans med med intressenterna har använts för att skapa kravgenereingar som applikationen ska svara emot. Olika designförslag och prototyper har skapats genom iterativa processer som sedan utvärderats, testats och ställts emot gjorda kravgenereringar. Resultatet visar på att det finns ett behov hos målgruppen att få kontakt med svensktalande och att Live Language Coach­app måste facilitera kontakten mellan 1 svensktalande och målgruppen på ett enkelt och snabbt sätt för motivera dem till att ta mera initiativ till interaktion i vardagen. / Learning in the wild

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the discourse on immigration in mainstream media and alternative media and to compare the similarities and differences between two Swedish newspapers. These were Aftonbladet from established media and the right-winge alternative media Nya Tider.   The thesis focuses on analyzing news texts from both newspapers. The method used was critical discourse analysis based on Norman Fairclough's three-step model.   Aftonbladet and Nya tider both represent immigration as a terror threat, a threat of mass immigration, being criminal and being hostile to Swedes. Aftonbladet was alone in representing immigration as opressing women and immigrants as victims, while Nya tider was alone in representing immigration as an economic problem, a part of a exchange of the Swedish population and immigrants as violent. The main conclusion was that none of the analysed news stories containted aspects that represented immigration as someting positive in the Swedish society.
