Denna studie undersöker vad några lärare på en skola har för positiva och negativa erfarenheter av att integrera IKT i sin undervisning. Undersökningen tar sin utgångspunkt i några olika teorier som förklarar olika aspekter av undervisningspraktiken. Det är en kvalitativ, induktiv studie, som använder sig av intervjuer. Resultatet visar att lärarna ser IKT som något positivt, framförallt eftersom det möjliggör en mer varierad undervisning, och ökar elevernas motivation. De möter dock samtidigt många problem som gör att de inte kan utnyttja dess fulla potential, framförallt tekniska problem, samt bristande digital kompetens, både hos elever och lärare.

Examensarbetet behandlar utvecklingen av en bio- och spelsoffa med målet att ge soffan ett skandinaviskt utseende samt att soffan skall kunna anpassas efter användaren. Examensarbetet har utförts i samarbete med företaget EM Home och behandlar arbetsgången från förstudie till ett slutgiltigt koncept under lanseringsnamnet Vegas. Under  förstudien  gjordes  studier  av  marknaden  och  intervjuer  med  potentiella  användare. Detta gav en inblick i nuvarande sofftrender och en uppfattning kring vad användaren har för krav och önskemål på en soffa. En intervju gjordes även med forskare som studerar hur an-vändare av tv-spel agerar och genom dessa studier lagt märke till saker som användarna själva inte tänker på vilket gav en ökad förståelse för den verkliga situationen.

Vi har från och med 2011 en ny läroplan för grundskolan som betonar användningen av digital teknik i matematikämnet mycket starkare än den tidigare läroplanen från år 1994. Situationen i skolan av idag på detta område är inte i fas med kravet från den nya läroplanen. Det behöver utvecklas en ny praxis för användandet av digital teknik i matematikundervisningen. Med den studie vi här gjort har vi velat få handgriplig information hur en introduktion av ett gratis dataprogram, GeoGebra, kan tänkas fungera för nionedklassare. Studien är en tredelad fallstudie med 1) ett undervisningstillfälle; 2) ett uppgiftslösningstillfälle; och 3) ett intervjutillfälle.

Den här studien kommer belysa om kulturjournalistiken i tre svenska dagstidningar har förändrats till följd av deras digitala publicering och i så fall hur. Denna utveckling bör ses i en större kontext med en utmanande ekonomisk situation för dagspressen, färre prenumeranter och därför även vikande annonsintäkter, utöver ökad konkurrens från Internet, sociala medier och webbtidningar. Webbpublicering har gjort det möjligt att ständigt mäta hur läsare tar till sig artiklar, om texter blir klickade och om de blir lästa. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med tre kulturredaktörer på tre olika dagstidningar kommer denna studie belysa kulturredaktörens publicistiska ställningstaganden. Analysen tar upp en rad frågeställningar som gäller det journalistiska innehållet, språk, typ av textgenres som publiceras, sätt att skriva, förhållningssätt hos kulturredaktören samt olika sätt att arbeta journalistiskt, och undersöker om det var något av detta som framstår som en extra tydlig utveckling i relation till digital publicering.

Denna studies syfte är att försöka förstå och diskutera den digitala mobbningen utifrån det mediasamhälle vi befinner oss i. Frågeställningarna som är grunden för studien är: Hur kan vi förstå digital mobbning? Hur kan denna förståelse leda vidare till metoder för att angripa problemet? Hur upplever pedagoger respektive elever den digitala mobbningen? Vad säger lagen om mobbning? Vad kan vara viktigt att tänka på i samband med Internet? Studien bygger på kvalitativa och kvantitativa undersökningar gjorda på två olika skolor. Den kvantitativa undersökningen bestod av enkäter som delades ut i tre klasser i år sex. Den kvalitativa undersökningen bygger på intervjuer med två pedagoger knutna till dessa klasser.

This study focuses on trying to understand the attitudes of people born in the 1940?s concerning their view on social media. This 1940?s group has been growing on the social networks such as Facebook, but their usage is not active. Therefore, the purpose of this report is to understand in what way they are affected by the using of these platforms.

As the population of senior citizens increase, various housing options are required for an increasing competitive environment within elderly care. This study addresses the concept of profile housing for the elderly by outlining its definition and providing options for the different kinds of housing options available within the municipalities of Stockholm and Solna. The study reveals that these locations have different definitions of what constitutes a profile home. Based on this, should one assume there are further definitions to cover additional municipalities?     This study also touches upon how a group of senior citizens would perceive their living conditions if relocated into such housing. Members of the group have also expressed that they would like to go about their daily activities as they have prior to being relocated. They want health professionals to enable and encourage participation in various daily activities..

The purpose of this study is to examine how the work with young people at home to care and accommodation (HVB) are organized in a municipality outside Karlstad and how the staff perceive emotions in the workplace. The issues that are discussed are based on the concepts of social ties, emotional labor, roles, shame and pride. The number of people who are fleeing in the world is today about 51 million. There has not been this high since World War II. The Swedish Migration Board calculated that about 7,000 of these people were unaccompanied children and came to Sweden in 2014.

Digital preservation is a relatively new subject to Swedish archives. Alhough computers have been used for a long time, preservation has been made on paper and stored on shelves. These days a lot of cities in Sweden have investigated how to best secure the digital information for the future through electronic archiving, e-archives. One option is to hand in the information as soon as possible, but to let the producer keep the information ownership yet some time. The idea is to let the producers of the information answer questions and hand out material, since they are more competent on their field.

The purpose was to describe the significance of participation concerning leisure time and household duties for persons with mild intellectual disability living in a group home with some support from caretakers. Interviews were performed with five persons, two men and three women, living in such a group home. The questions in the interview guide had an open character and were divided into four different areas, leisure time, economy, cooking, cleaning and laundry. The results indicate that all informants felt they participated in all four areas. Further on, the results show there was participation of three different kinds.

This master thesis aims to examine how public libraries in Sweden are practically and ideologically equipped to deal with e-books, outside of the dominant distributor Elib. The study also aims to find out what?s required of the book market and the public libraries to make further progress in the question of e-books. In Sweden e-books are still representing only a small amount of all the library loans and an even smaller amount of the commercial book market.The methodological and theoretical ground for the thesis is Grounded Theory, and the survey is based on interviews with publishers, librarians and distributors.The conclusions of this thesis are that the public libraries lack resources to invest in e-books, and that they also lack in knowledge about the media and its readers. It also exposes that both internal and external collaboration efforts need to be further developed.

The main aim of this master thesis was to examine the visual ergonomics and the systematic work environment management concerning lighting issues for nurses within domiciliary care. Further aims were to examine a few existing lighting solutions, to come up with ideas for future possible lighting solutions, and to evaluate if the legal regulations for lighting is satisfying and if the regulations are obeyed in domiciliary nursing.The methods used were a questionnaire completed by 55 nurses, field studies of used lightings in cooperation with a student in industrial esign, test of ten existing lighting solutions in a laboratory environment, and a field test of five existing lighting solutions tested by nine nurses in the home of the patient.The result indicates that 40 % of the asked nurses were dissatisfied with the working light in the patient?s homes. All respondents reported poor working light close to the patient, 50 % reported that this problem occurred daily. One third reported that they had to work in uncomfortable working postures due to insufficient working light, and 15 % reported risk of making mistakes due to the same reason.
