In recent decades, demands has emerged that the companies shall take a greater social responsibility for the impact that they have on their environment and that this impact shall be reported, which is known as Sustainability Reporting. The Sustainability Report is based on a number of general principles that ensure the content and the quality of the Sustainability Report. One of these principles is the principle of completeness. In the research, this principle seems to have been interpreted in terms of number of reported aspects and indicators, which can be a limited view where only the existence of the aspects and indicators is observed. By including the degree of the reporting in terms of full, partial and no reporting as well as a comparison between the real and the alleged reporting, our intention is to extend the principle of completeness and to develop a tool that we also apply through an empirical survey in a particular area.

This paper reports a study on the usability of e-commerce accessed through smartphones. There is much research in the usability of mobile interfaces and many sets of design patterns have been created but a few studies are available for specific domains, and in this report we focus on mobile e-commerce. In this study a framework is developed for how to design mobile e-commerce interfaces with a high degree of usability. Furthermore, the study also contributes a method to how other specific domain can develop a framework with general standards to work from when creating a web interface. By examining two sets of design principles and 14 design patterns, we evaluate which ones are critical in the design of a mobile e-commerce interface for achieving a high degree of usability.

This paper investigates the presentation of Islam in textbooks used in the study of religion in high schools. The papers focus on two main questions concerning the ways in which Islam is presented in the analysed textbooks, and how the new curriculum has influenced the portrayal of Islam in the materials. Here, the paper utilizes a method of critical discourse analysis with Faircloughs three-dimensional analysis. The paper then concludes that the presentation of Islam is negative in nature, with the content and view of Islam having been simplified and stereotyped. Often the textbooks studied frame Islam as being an aggressive and oppressive religion, especially in matters con-cerning women.

Titel:     Mätinstrument: Kundnöjdhet ? Att jämföra image, förväntningar och upplevelser i modebutikerSyfte:Syftet är att undersöka de förväntningar om nöjdhet som kunder baserar enbart på en varumärkesmix. Vilka aspekter av ett butiksbesök dessa varumärkesbaserade nöjdhetsförväntningar framförallt rör, hur nöjda kunderna förväntar sig att bli med dessa aspekter och huruvida nöjdhetsförväntningarna infrias vid ett besök i en butik som har en specifik varumärkesmix. Som ett delsyfte undersöks vad i ett butiksbesök som är viktigt för de deltagande konsumenterna när de handlar kläder.Metod:Vi valde att använda oss av en kvantitativ metod där vi intervjuade 111 kvinnliga respondenter om vad de tyckte var viktigt, vilka förväntningar en varumärkesmix skapar samt hur nöjda de var efter ett besök vid dammodeavdelningen på Åhléns i Umeå. Vi utgick från ett deduktivt angreppsätt med befintliga teorier som stöd för våra frågeställningar.

The work has been performed in collaboration with Jönköping University. The aim of this work has been to study different methods for mobile adaption of large CMS (Content Management System) websites, where the website of Jönköping has been used as a reference.The website at Jönköping University is used daily by current students, faculties, prospective students and external users. Research carried out by the University shows that the use of mobile devices has increased, and it is therefore necessary to examine the mobile adaptation of the large CMS website.A layout proposal has been suggested by determining which method that is most relevant for mobile adaption of a large CMS website. The website should adapt to different resolutions and devices according to how the existing website is based in the current situation. Emphasis has been put on menu operations, to navigate through the large website in a user-friendly way.

New energy resources that can replace petroleum diesel are needed and biodiesel may be an excellent substitute. During storage and use, biodiesel can oxidize and form peroxides, leading to degradation of the fuel. It is therefore important to determine the peroxide content of the fuel. In this thesis the triphenylphosphine method, which involves GC-MS analysis has been compared to the standard iodometric method which involves titration with sodium thiosulfate. Working standards were made to see how well the iodometric method worked and also in order to make a calibration curve in GC-MS.

Undersökningens syfte är att analysera hur Sverige, svensken och invandraren presenteras i läromedel i svenska som andraspråk. Dessa läroböcker är för många vuxna invandrare en dörr som leder till livet i Sverige då böckerna inte bara ger information om språket utan också om svenska traditioner, levnadssätt och hur man klarar sig i samhället.I resultatet framgår att läroböckerna ibland presenterar en stereotyp bild av landet Sverige och dess invånare. En del stereotyper kan anses vara positiva men en del är relativt negativa vilket ger ett dystert intryck. Vissa generaliseringar förekommer också vilket kan vara ett problem då läsaren, d.v.s. invandraren får en skev och vinklad bild av verkligheten..

Syfte: Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka kulturprogrammet K specials profil kontra image, samt vad programmets medarbetare och tittare associerar till begreppet kultur.Metod: Studien är genomförd med kvalitativa metoder i form av personliga intervjuer och telefonintervjuer samt en nätundersökning.Resultat: K specials projektledare har en samlad bild av hur de vill att tittarna ska uppfatta programmet. Tittarna som har medverkat i denna studie har i många anseenden en positiv likartad uppfattning om programmet. Det finns dock en skillnad i hur en del tittare associerar till namnet K special, då namnet stundtals associeras med frukostflingor. Gällande kultur visar det sig att K special är en kultur i sig och utgör en livsstil hos tittarna som medverkar i denna studie. Både tittarna och programmets medarbetare ser begreppet kultur som ett samlingsnamn på livet och människors uttryck, allt som inte platsar inom ramarna för naturvetenskap.

The Social Democratic Party and the Moderate Party are two parties with different ideological background. The parties have different opinions in issues of public and private matters. The Social Democratic Party profiles it self, through the local and national party programs, as a party for solidarity and security. The Moderate Party, on the other hand, profiles it self through their programmes as a party with a possibility for the individual to shape his or her own life. Through a survey on members in the local government, and two key persons at national level, the view of municipal self-government has appeared.

This thesis aims to answer the following questions: What type of vocabulary is used in the humanities? What does this implicate when it comes to indexing in the humanities? How do humanities scholars seek information and what type of information do they need? What consequences does this have when it comes to the development of humanities databases? How is the MLA International Bibliography organized? How does its indexing system ? CIFT ? work? How does the MLA International Bibliography correspond with the needs of the humanities scholar? The study shows that the type of vocabulary used in the humanities differs significantly from that used in the sciences. Therefore, information retrieval is often said to be problematic in the humanities when compared to the sciences. This is, however, not completely true. If consideration is taken to the different type of vocabulary used in the humanities, subject access proves to be more straightforward than has been generally recognized.

In what way has the status of preschool been affected since Lpfö 98 was published?
