Bakgrund: Hjärtinfarkt är den vanligaste enskilda dödsorsaken i Sverige. Att bli diagnostiserad med hjärtinfarkt skapar mycket ångest och oro och patienter som drabbas är därför i stort behov av information. Vårdpersonal har skyldighet att ge varje patient individuellt anpassad information. Genom att belysa hur patienter med hjärtinfarkt upplever information från sjuksköterskor kan kvaliteten på informationen höjas och bli mer individanpassad. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa patienters upplevelse av information efter en hjärtinfarkt.Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie genomfördes där åtta artiklar, varav fem kvalitativa och tre kvantitativa analyserades.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how novices set about when they search for information. Marchionini's information-seeking model is the theoretical starting point, which is supplemented by theories of other specialists within the field, such as Chowdhury; Harter; Large, Tedd and Hartley. As method a questionnaire survey was used. The questionnaire was sent to 96 students at IHM Business School in Gothenburg and 57 questionnaires were returned. The results show among other things that the majority of the students used highly interactive search strategies, and they did not plan their search before they carried out the search.

The main purpose of this work was to examine the information behavior of nonfiction publishing Company editors. Three problem areas were presented and expressed in the following questions:- What is the information need of the editor in every day work?- Which sources of information do the editors use when they are looking for information and how do they make use of them?- Are there any factors that have an influence on the information behavior of the editors and in what way do the factors effect the information behavior of the editors in their everyday work? And finally, do the editors experience any factors as barriers to information behavior?Six editors, all with academical background, all employed in different publishing companies were interviewed. The result of this study have been analysed within a theoretical framework influenced by the work of Tom Wilson, Lars Höglund and Olle Persson and Block and Lagberg. The result shows that the editors had various regular needs of information in their every day work.

Information overload is by no means a new concept, but has come to prominence the last decade. A generally accepted definition of the phenomenon does not exist. The main question in this master thesis is how to define information overload in order to create a connotative concept for information science. This thesis reviews the nature and causes of information overload, and considers possible solutions, both individual and technical, and their relevance to the information professional. The review of the results shows that researchers seldom or never give a legible definition of what the concept information holds.

Customer information is to be seen as an essential part in service development. The company should be aware of how their customers experience their services. The company can get access to customer information through complaints from their customers. All information obtained from the customers is not possible to use when developing new and existing services. The information has to be analysed before it is possible to use it for service development.This paper describes if Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) uses their customers as a source of knowledge when developing new and existing services and in that case how.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the process of transferring information from science to "the field" of environmental protection in Sweden. I have studied four Swedish environmental organizations, Greenpeace Nordic, WWF Sweden, the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation and Friends of the Earth Sweden to see how they search/get information. I have also studied the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and its role as sender of information, since it is the authority which is responsible for environmental information in Sweden. I have used information and communication theories as a help to analyse my results. While working on this paper I realized that my methods were not the best.

This thesis examines information seeking and information needs at the Swedish Government Offices. The Government Offices comprise the Prime Ministers Office, the Government Ministries and the Office for Administrative Affairs. Approximately 4 500 members of staff are employed, of whom around 120 are political appointees. For this study, interviews have been conducted with 15 senior officials and political appointees at the Government Ministries and the Prime Ministers Office. The interviews have been supplemented with literature studies based on user studies research in library and information science.

Lågkolhydratsdieter är ett samlingsnamn för flera olika dieter, som förespråkar ett reducerat kolhydratintag. Dessa dieter är ett omtalat ämne som det nu uppstått mycket åsikter och uppfattningar runt och som väckt starka känslor. Lågkolhydratsdieter avviker från de riktlinjer som Livsmedelsverket förespråkar, vilket har orsakat en viss förvirring hos individer med intresse och medvetenhet kring vikt- och träningsresultat.Vårt syfte med studien har varit att undersöka hälsomedvetna individers erfarenheter och uppfattningar runt kolhydrater och lågkolhydratsdieter, samt de källor som ligger till grund för deras uppfattningar. Studien har utförts med hjälp av en kvalitativ forskningsansats. Där åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer har legat till underlag för resultatet.

Mårdhunden är en invasiv art i Europa och har tack vare sin generalistiska diet, hög reproduktivitet och stor anpassningsbarhet lyckats etablera sig i stora delar av Nord-, Öst- och Centraleuropa. Den introducerades i tidigare västra Sovjetunionen mellan 1929 och 1955 med syftet att få ett nytt pälsdjur att jaga. Då mårdhunden gärna vandrar långa sträckor spred den sig snart från utsättningsområdena och etablerades i Europa. I dagsläget finns det en oro för att den ska påverka andra arter och deras ekosystem samt att den ska sprida olika parasit- och virussjukdomar. Min studie undersöker om man sett någon påverkan på andra arter och huruvida mårdhunden fungerar som sjukdomsspridare.

The aim of this master thesis is to study how teachers in adult education view the phenomenon of information seeking in education.

Information seeking is the student?s responsibility; 2.

Användarna av extern redovisning fokuserar på framtiden medan traditionell redovisning baseras på historiska data. Amerikanska undersökningar visar att analytiker efterfrågar mer icke-finansiell information för att kunna göra bättre prognoser. Företagens årsredovisningar fungerar idag som informationsbärare och är ett viktigt beslutsunderlag för analytiker. Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva de svenska förhållandena vad det gäller redovisad och efterfrågad icke-finansiell information. Genom att studera svenska årsredovisningar samt tillfråga analytiker hur de ställer sig till icke-finansiell information har vi besvarat följande frågor.

Several studies shows that dietary supplements do not have any proven effects on health, yet these supplements are increasing in sales.

Of those who participated in the study, 56 percent were men and 44 percent were women.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att identifiera vilken ekonomisk information som en företagsledning i ett större tillverkande företag förmedlar, samt verifiera om detta stämmer överens med vad produktionspersonalen har vetskap om. Vi ämnar även undersöka vad som inverkar på produktionspersonalens vetskap om denna information. Slutsatser: Vad ledningen vill föra ut för ekonomisk information och vad produktionspersonalen har vetskap om stämmer generellt inte överens. De respondenter som har störst vetskap om den ekonomiska informationen är mer engagerade, känner större samhörighet i gruppen och är mer insatta i företagets ekonomiska situation. Gemensamt för dessa är att de alla har kontinuerliga och täta möten med roterande ansvar för att hålla i dessa samt tillgång till väl uppdaterade anslagstavlor..
