The main purpose of this bachelor thesis is to analyse the publication- and citation patterns of the articles concerning bibliometrics, informetrics, scientometrics, and webometrics which can be found on Web of Science, and give a brief description of how the definition of the four terms has developed. I have looked at how the number of published papers have developed over the years and to what extent they have been quoted by other researchers. I have also briefly adressed what other research fields are referring to articles published in the four areas. The material I looked at includes articles that can be found on Web of Science with one (or more) of the four terms as topic and are categorised under library- and information science starting with the first bibliometrics article which was published in 1969, and ending in 2013. The results show that the publications in all four fields are continuously increasing.

Problem: Under våra studier på Blekinge Tekniska Högskola har vi fått lära oss att lägga stor vikt vid att sätta användaren i centrum vid utvecklandet av informationssystem. Vi vill nu undersöka om detta synsätt bara används i teorin eller om systemutvecklare fokuserar på användare när system ska utvecklas och implementeras i en verksamhet. I denna uppsats fokuserar vi på företaget Markislagret Hem & Fritid AB i Bromölla som implementerade ett informationssystem för ett år sedan. Användarna där är inte riktigt nöjda med systemet och vi vill därför undersöka om det beror på bristande användarmedverkan i utvecklingsprocessen. Vårt mål är att ta reda på om användarna har varit delaktiga i utvecklingsprocessen och i vilken omfattning detta har skett. Syfte: Syftet med rapporten är att få en förståelse huruvida användarcentrerad systemutveckling används i praktiken i en fallstudie.

The purpose of the study is to see differences and development of two institutions for social care (work science) in two countries - the University of Lodz, Polen, and the University of Lund, Sweden.The central question is, if there is any convergence between these Institutions for Social care.The method has been to use both earlier research and to have two interviews. I did interviews with two professors working at two Universities, one with professor Ewa Marynowicz-Hetka at Lodz University and the other with professor Hans Swärd at the University of Lund. I started to study relevant literature and took part of secondary material in both countries.The main result of this study is that some convergence tendencies between those two trainings exist. All of them have connection with international cooperation. There are also same forces that stopped those tendencies; one of them is tradition on institutions..

Z39.50 is a standard protocol designed to create an interface between diverse computer databases for diverse information needs. Since it has to be adjustable it is also complex and demands a certain degree of expertise when being set. However, the aim of this paper is not to make a theoretical description but to examine certain conditions in practice. From the perspective of Swedish research libraries two principal hypotheses are examined: 1) the implementation of a given technology (Z39.50) is primarily influenced by social circumstances, and 2) the way in which the technology is implemented will bias the results of information retrieval. For this examination we need a framework of theories concerning the relationship between technological development and society, organisational theories and database theories.

Uppsatsen syftar till att analysera politiska aktörers agerande för att framställa sin hållning inför folkomröstningen om kärnraften 1980 som trovärdig och rationell. Studien undersöker historiska källor i form av informationstätt opinionsmaterial samt statliga utredningar och propositioner med anknytning till folkomröstningen. Undersökningen är baserad på den teoribildning inom teknik- och vetenskapssociologi som kallas science and technology studies ? STS. Det analytiska verktyg som källmaterialet analyseras utifrån är begreppet energisäkerhet.

Ett fenomen som blivit allt vanligare på senare år är instiftandet av ?bounties?. Med ?bounties? menas att en belöning utfästs i form av ekonomisk kompensation till den person eller de personer som utför utvecklingsarbete inom fri och öppen programvara (F/OSS). Syftet med undersökningen är att studera upplevelser och känslor kringanvändningen av ?bounties? från ett utvecklarperspektiv.

Title: Market Communication in transformation Authors: Gabriella Holm and Christoffer LarssonPurpose/Aim: The purpose of this paper is to examine how market communication at PR-firms in Sweden has changed over the first decade of the 21-century. In 2007 social media expanded on the Swedish market. This had implications for the way we are looking at communication and therefore also the PR business and how they are operating. The aim with this paper is to see how social media have affected marketing communication at PR-firms.Methodology: This paper is based on case studies from Swedish PR-firms. We used five cases from 2003-2005 and five from 2010-2012.

Political realism is a general theory within political science focusing on the principle interest defined as power. The theory?s mutual standpoint is that states are inspired by power politics meaning that military and economic power or security stands in the centre while moral and ethics are placed in the periphery. This essay?s purpose is to analyze realism which helps to understand the development and change of the perspective.

When investigating mechanical problems it is often more convenient to deal with scalars rather than vectors. In this project methods stemming from the field of analytical mechanics, which lets one derive the equations of motion using scalar quantities instead of vectors, have been used. Two mechanical problems were investigated, a double pendulum with a spring and particles orbit in a sphere. The equations of motion of the two systems were derived with the assistance of computer algebra, using Maple and the external package Sophia. The systems were investigated with regard to periodicity and conserved quantities..

The disconnect between assumptions regarding computer users interactions made by software engineers and the actual interactions do, for various reasons, not always match. Gathering actual usage data from user interfaces can enable software designers to make better educated decisions. By buildning a prototype for collecting such data from a diagnosis tool for the automotive industry this project has shown not only how to benefit from the data but also how to perform the work. The data is 1 600 sessions consisting of 26 000 individual events. From this it has shown that available tools can assist in rudimentary questions regarding usage.

This Masters thesis concerns epistemology in Knowledge Organization KO, as a field of study in Library and Information Science LIS. Using a theoretical model by Birger Hjørland and foucauldian discourse analysis as springboards, this study analyses three epistemological discourses in the practice of KO. The aim of the study is to show how these discourses are constituted and demarcated in relation to KO, as well as to examine how they fit into Hjørlands model. A brief historical outline of some epistemological trends in LIS is sketched, as well as examples of how different epistemological schools influence different parts of KO, e.g. information retrieval, indexing- and classification theory.

I november 2002 började ICA introducera AOB-systemet i sina butikerför att automatisera lagerhållning och orderhantering. Med systemet skabutikerna kunna förutse framtida varubehov och kunna använda sig av?just in time? lagerhållning för att minimera lagerhållningskostnader.Systemen har introducerats i en liknande miljö med likartade resursermen ändå har det uppstått skillnader när det gäller acceptans hosanvändarna. Vi har utifrån existerande acceptansteorier och systemetskontextspecifika egenskaper utarbetat en undersökningsmodell där viavser att kartlägga vad som legat till grund för de olika beslutsfattarnasval av implementationsgrad. Vi har utifrån denna modell gjort enkvantitativ studie på 170 ICA butiker och erhöll en svarsfrekvens på ca50 %.

Blockader används för att tvinga fram kollektivavtal med småföretag, även om arbetstagarna på företaget varken är intresserade av det eller är med i facket. Huvudregeln återfinns i regeringsformen 2 kap 17 § vilken lyder: ?[f]örening av arbetstagare samt arbetsgivare och förening av arbetsgivare äger rätt att vidta fackliga stridsåtgärder, om annat ej följer av lag eller avtal?. Här intar småföretag ingen särställning gentemot större företag. Traditionen är stark när det gäller parternas möjlighet att själva reglera villkoren och utveckla mönstret för stridsåtgärder på arbetsmarknaden.
