The honour norm is strong within the Middle East but is scattered all over the world. As a result of immigration, the honorary context has become more established in Sweden. Violence, committed in the name of honour, is commonly executed by male family members. Thus, young men are forced, in some degree, to participate in the oppression and control of their sisters. Violence exercised in the name of honour, can be traced back to the patriarchal family system in which woman are subordinate to men. The purpose of this study is to highlight the young men's subjective perspective to honour and honour-related violence, as well as if they have managed to distance themselves from it. In the study, interviews are conducted with four young men. The results obtained show that some of the young men have an ambivalent attitude to certain matters relating to honour and what is not acceptable female behaviour. The results reveal that certain parts of the patriarchal thinking are identified in the opinions of some of the young men interviewed. Further, the results also suggest that education and community action are essential for the discussion of honour and the honour norm, in order to create change.

Another part of my discussion is how school can provide good role models for their students and how and if we can work with these stereotypes.

Background: Cooking at home can benefit health from both individual- and social perspectives. The purpose of this study was to investigate which individual and social factors affect cooking in young men in own households and which factors in the surrounding environment that could influence their cooking. Methods: This is a qualitative study. Data were collected from five respondents aged 20-30 years with semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was performed using content analysis. Results: Influencing factors for cooking exist at individual and social levels and the surrounding environment. At the individual level self-efficacy was the most important factor and mothers played a major role in building self-efficacy during the respondents' upbringing. At the social level, cooperation with others emerged and factors in the surrounding environment such as the school system and restrictions as a result of the ongoing corona pandemic in 2021 were identified. Conclusions: Influencing factors for cooking exist at the individual and social level and in the surrounding environment. Supporting parents' cooking and cooking classes in school could strengthen self-efficacy in cooking situations for boys growing up. Few studies have been done in this regard, therefore more studies are needed to further understand what factors affect young men's cooking.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate how we can understand the correlation between social vulnerability and crime among young men with a foreign background. I intend to highlight the reality of the everyday life of six convicted young men shortly before they committed criminal acts as I aim to understand the influence of socioeconomic risk factors in their lives. The selected research method is a qualitative text analysis based on a true criminal case which occurred in a disadvantaged Stockholm suburb. The selected young men who appear in this study are aged between 17-21 and were among the main suspects. The empirical data consists of verbatim transcripts of interrogation interviews with police investigators and the court verdict. The study’s results have been analyzed based on the theory of dynamics of human behavior and on the basis of risk factors. The results show that all the young men have poor school results, poor communication with their family and that all live in cramped housing conditions that does not offer enough opportunity for private space. Several of the young men lack income and employment and are financially supported by family members. In summary, the results show that the social risk factors that occur in their lives are similar and that their current life situation is a result of the social existence in which they reside.

Introduktion: Psykisk ohälsa är ett alarmerande globalt folkhälsoproblem. Undersökningar visar att män skattar sin hälsa högre än kvinnor och söker vård i lägre utsträckning för mentala hälsoproblem. Paradoxalt nog är män överrepresenterade i självmordsstatistiken. Det har visat sig finnas ett samband mellan psykisk ohälsa och sociokulturella mönster gällande könsuttryck. Mycket pekar på att en bidragande orsak är snäva normer för maskulinitet och traditionell maskulinitet kan kopplas till självmordstankar och verkar samverka med flertalet stressorer som förstärker självmordstankarna. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva vad i unga mäns upplevelser, relaterat till maskulinitet, kan förenas med ökad risk för psykisk ohälsa och självmord. Metod: En strukturerad litteraturstudie har gjorts vilken inkluderade både kvalitativ och kvantitativ forskning. Databas som användes var: MEDLINE; EBSCO. Analysmetoden var tematisk analys. Resultat: Unga män upplevde att de var under hög press att följa traditionella begränsande och restriktiva könsnormer för manlighet. Det var tydligt att männen också upplevde svårigheter med att leva upp till idealet. Utebliven framgång att uppnå de hegemoniska idealen av maskulinitet sågs som en av de främsta anledningarna till att fler män än kvinnor tar sina liv. Slutsats: Den här studien har lett fram till insikter att det finns ett stort behov av att utveckla strategier för självsmordprevention hos unga män. Insatserna behöver vara specifikt inriktade på att minska det maskulina idealets inverkan på psykisk ohälsa och självmord för att bana sig väg igenom barriärer som gör att män inte vill söka emotionellt stöd eller vård för psykisk ohälsa utan istället tar sitt liv. / Introduction: Mental illness is an alarming global public health problem. Surveys show that men rate their health higher than women and seek health care to a lesser extent for mental health problems. Paradoxically, men are overrepresented in the suicide statistics. It has shown that you have to use a connection between mental illness and socio-cultural patterns of gender expression. Many points to make a contribution cause are tight norms for masculinity and traditional masculinity can be linked to suicidal thoughts and works interact with the majority of stressors that reinforce suicidal thoughts. Aim: The purpose of the study is to describe what of young men’s experiences, related to masculinity, can be associated with an increased risk of mental illness and suicide. Method: A structured literature study was conducted which included both qualitative and quantitative research. Databases used were: MEDLINE; EBSCO. The method of analysis was thematic analysis. Results: Young men felt that they were under high pressure to follow traditional restrictive and restrictive gender norms for masculinity. It was clear that the men also experienced difficulties in living up to the ideal. Failure to achieve the hegemonic ideals of masculinity was seen as one of the main reasons why more men than women take their lives. Conclusion: This study has led to the realization that there is a need to develop suicide prevention strategies in young men. The efforts must be specifically focused on reducing the masculine ideal in works on mental ill-health and suicide in order to pave their way through barriers that see that one does not want to feel the feeling as support or care for mental ill-health but instead takes one's life.

Textilindustrin är ett stort miljöproblem i dagens samhälle och hög efterfrågan på nyproducerade kläder bidrar till miljöpåverkan. Ett resurseffektivt sätt att vara mer miljövänlig är att återanvända kläder, vilket kan göras genom andrahandsmarknaden. På grund av ett begränsat herrklädesutbud handlar unga män sällan i second hand-butiker. Studien syftar därför till att undersöka hur ett kommunikationskoncept kan utformas för att göra fler unga män villiga att donera kläder till second hand. Denna studie resulterade i kommunikationskonceptet Garderobsrensningsdagarna. Konceptet tar sig uttryck i form av en insamlingskampanj som belyser garderoben, då grundproblemet ligger i att målgruppen inte rensar sina garderober. Konceptet värderades genom kvalitativa intervjuer. Dessa visade att konceptet bör belysa garderoben som en outnyttjad resurs. Ett miljöfokus bör inkluderas i konceptet samtidigt som ett lättillgängligt inlämningssätt bör erbjudas. För att motivera målgruppen att donera kläder till second hand visade värderingen att konceptet bör skapa en känsla av gemenskap, innehålla ett tydligt mål, en tidsbegränsning samt generera direkt återkoppling. För att skapa ett stort engagemang så bör konceptet väcka uppmärksamhet och på så sätt generera word-of-mouth. / The textile industry is a major environmental issue in today’s society and a high demand fornew produced clothing contributes to the environmental impact. The re-use of clothing is aresource efficient way to be more environmental friendly, which can be accomplishedthrough the second hand market. Because of a limited assortment of men’s clothing, youngmen rarely shop at second hand stores. The study therefore aims to research how acommunication concept could be designed to make more young men willing to donateclothes to second hand stores.This study resulted in the communication concept Garderobsrensningsdagarna. The concepttakes the form of a collection campaign that highlights the wardrobe, as the main problemlies within that the target group are not sorting out their wardrobes. The concept wasevaluated by qualitative interviews. These showed that the concept should highlight thewardrobe as an unused resource. An environmental focus should be included in the conceptat the same time as an accessible way of donating should be offered. To motivate the targetgroup to donate clothes to second hand stores, the evaluation showed that the conceptshould create a feeling of fellowship, include a clear goal, a time limit and generate directfeedback. To create a high level of involvement, the concept should attract attention and sogenerate word-of-mouth.

Bakgrund: Unga som växer upp i utsatta områden löper ökad risk att drabbas av ohälsa och hamna i ett livslångt utanförskap. I den allmänna samhällsdebatten råder starkt fokus på utmaningar i berörda områden med tyngdpunkt på unga män, men det talas sällan om vad målgruppen upplever som stödjande. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka unga mäns upplevelser av hälsofrämjande faktorer under uppväxten på Gamlegården, som är ett så kallat utsatt område i utkanten av Kristianstad. Metod: Metoden i studien var kvalitativ och datainsamlingen genomfördes våren 2023 genom intervjuer med nio män i åldrarna 22-30 år. Intervjuerna analyserades genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat:Analysen resulterade i fyra teman och tio kategorier som framhöll Gamlegården som en egen värld där gemenskap och inkludering bidrog till positiva känslor. Föräldrars engagemang spelade en avgörande roll liksom stödjande miljöer där vuxna intresserade sig för barnen och deras liv. Det framkom dessutom att en stödjande och drivande faktor var, och fortfarande är, önskan om att vara en förebild för yngre i området. Slutsats: Upplevelsen av att känna sig ”hemma” på Gamlegården framträder som hälsofrämjande och betonar värdet av en utemiljö som stimulerar lek och upptäckande tillsammans med jämnåriga. Vuxnas gränssättning framstår som centralt vilket synliggör yttre ramar som en förutsättning för upptäckande som bidrar till en gynnsam utveckling. Ytterligare en slutsats är att unga motiveras att fatta gynnsamma beslut när de betraktar sig själva som förebilder för yngre. Upplevelsen av att vara en förebild är såldes någonting som verkar bidra till en positiv utveckling och därmed potentiellt bättre hälsa / <p>Betyg i Ladok 230530.</p>
