The domain of this thesis is Personal Information Management (PIM) which is a sub-domain to human-computer interaction (HCI) that specifically concerns the interaction between human and information. The purpose of the study is to make an exploration of information management in a scientific research setting, to study which tools and strategies for information interaction that are used in the context and to suggest possible improvements of today's practices. Three in-depth interviews with scientific researchers have been conducted followed by a qualitative analysis of the results. The results show that there are great variations among the three respondents and that there can be distinguished as much as 15 different dimensions that when put together forms a unique PIM profile for each individual. The recommendation following this is that tools for PIM have to allow a high degree of individualisation.

Mobila enheter såsom bärbara datorer, avancerade handdatorer och mobiltelefonerblir allt vanligare i organisationer. Tidigare har informationssäkerhet byggts upp föratt skydda organisationer från attacker utifrån, men nu måste man även skyddaorganisationen inifrån. Detta för att enheter tas ut ur organisationen och utsätts förandra, möjligt farliga miljöer. För att sedan på nytt föras in i organisationensnätverk. Basnivå för informationssäkerhet, BITS är riktlinjer framtagna avKrisberedskapsmyndigheten.

Med de senaste årens volatilitet på oljemarknaderna och den historiska inverkan som oljepriset har haft på inflationen så avser vi att undersöka hur stor inverkan oljepriset har på inflationen idag. Vi gör vår undersökning på ett urval av industrialiserade och ej fullt industrialiserade länder för att se om det är någon skillnad på resultaten mellan dessa typer av ekonomier. Vi närmar oss problemet med en oljeutökad Phillipskurva som specificeras i tre olika modeller. Specifikationerna baseras på nykeynesiansk teori, monetarism och ECB:s två pelar strategi vid inflationsanalys. Vi finner att oljepriset har haft en påverkan på inflationen under tidsperioden 1979-2007 i de industrialiserade länderna men att effekten över lag är avtagande vid en jämförelse med perioden 1990-2007.

This thesis analyses the cost accounting system KPP and its use within the Swedish health care. KPP is designed to calculate and assign health care costs to individual patients. This would facilitate evaluations and comparisons of the costs for certain diagnosis, patient groups or clinics with a different mix of diagnosis. The study investigates the following questions: 1. Does the KPP-model theoretically work as a cost accounting tool for health care purposes? 2.

This study has been conducted in order to determine the existence of predictability for the Stockholm stock exchange. With this purpose the random walk theory has been raised against the theory of mean reversion in order to determine which theory is the most substantial. Data has been collected from Nasdaq OMX Nordic and furtherly been processed using the statistical software EViews. Swedish listed companies? daily share values between 2000-2014 have been analyzed using two tests; an Augmented Dickey Fuller test and a Variance Ratio test.

This paper is a qualitative analytic study of the views regarding masculinity of six male university students. The author means to view the gender issue from a male point of view and analyze the empiric result using well known theory on the subject. The main questions of the essay are: What, according to my respondents, is masculine and non masculine? Does the university influence this view, and if so how? How is it to be a man in the society of today? The paper is based around interviews of the six subjects, recorded and transcribed and analyzed in a systematic outline. From this outline relevant themes has been constructed and compared with the theory.

The aim of this thesis is to spread some light over the coming into being of the 2005 Pension Reform in Norway. The point of departure lies within an interest in Welfare State politics and the development in this field. Pensions constitute a cornerstone in the Welfare State. Making use of J. Kingdon´s Theory of the Agenda Setting Process, Discourse Theory and Institutional Theory the thesis seek to visualize the implications of structures, central actors and discourses on the reform processes.

This thesis aim to advance the Liberal Integrovernmentalism (LIG) developed byAndrew Moravcsik in order to order to explain how the European Court of Justice (ECJ) can make de facto EU policies diverge from what was originally intended by the Member States. More specifically it describes how the Posting of Workers Directive, Directive 96/71/EC, originally was created to shield certain Member States and their respective systems of regulating the labour market from pressure arising from the posting of workers form low-wage countries inside the EU. However, through a series of cases in the ECJ the de facto policy of the directive has changed and it is now in itself a potential threat against these systems. The Member States now find themselves caught in a ?Joint-Decision Trap?, unable to rectify the situation even though their original agreement has been turned on its head.

This study was carried out in Jordan with the purpose to investigate the bacterial microflora of egg shells from cage systems and from deep litter floor systems. Another aim wasto get a general impression of the hygiene, at farm level, of egg production in Jordan andthe factors affecting it.Eggs from two cage systems and three floor systems were analyzed, regarding bacterialcontamination of the egg shells. Egg samples were taken from the storage room, the eggcradle in the cage system and from the nest and floor in the floor system. To get a generalimpression of the hygiene at the farms, swab tests and air tests were performed. Swab testswere performed with a sterile cotton swab at the same units as the eggs were sampled andair tests were performed by opening petri dishes where the hens were staying.

Today?s housing system for laying hens has limitations for the hens natural behavior. Despite the current law of prevention of cruelty to animals, this might implicate health problems for the hens. This degree project is aiming to improve the situation for laying hens in cage-systems. The aim with our project is to bring forward a draft of a cage that improves the welfare of laying hens.

Uppsatsen undersökte en alternativ metod att kreditbetygsätta företagsobligationer. Metoden är baserad på en modell skapad av Hall & Miles (1990) och har tillämpats med viss framgång på banksektorn i tidigare studier. Modellen gör antagandet om effektiva kapitalmarknader och använder aktiekursinformation som enda informationskälla. Undersökningen utfördes genom att applicera modellen på 49 slumpvis utvalda amerikanska företag och ta fram en tio års lång kreditbetygshistorik. Denna kreditbetygshistorik jämfördes sedan med kreditbetyg på de 49 företagen satta av kreditvärderingsinstitutet Moody?s under samma period.

Med en ansats i kognitiva teorier om de omedvetna processer som kan ligga bakom fenomenet intuition undersöks i denna kvalitativa studie begreppet ?intuitiva användargränssnitt? på djupet. En teorisyntes om vad intuition är och hur det fungerar presenteras. I en empirisk undersökning i form av kvalitativa intervjuer frågas interaktionsdesigners om deras definition av begreppet intuitiva användargränssnitt. Resultaten från undersökningen ställs därefter i relation till det teoretiska materialet.

The Swedish energy company Vattenfall is currently the owner of the district heatingsystems in Nyköping and Motala. To be able to also offer cooling solutions tocustomers are becoming more and more important. This report describes the resultsof an investigation of the cooling market in the two cities and the potential needs forcooling today and in the coming 20 years. The total potential for the coming 20 yearsis estimated to be roughly 17 MW for Nyköping and 9 MW for Motala.Two possible district cooling systems for each of the two city centers was modeledand a comparison was made between different cooling techniques namely absorptionand compressor chillers.Absorption chillers driven with district heating during the summer is one way ofincreasing the load in a combined heat and power plant and thereby the possibleelectricity generation. The cost of heat production must be low for absorption chillerto be able to compete as an alternative.

The purpose of this essay is to examine how theory and practice intertwines through theactivism of the feminist punk performance collective Pussy Riot. I have also focussed on the political tools with which the activism is performed. Within the academic context of gender studies, I believe there is a need for research that aims to reduce the gap between scholarly and activist feminism. The theoretical framework for the analysis in this essay consists of material feminist theory and postmodern theory. The empirical material is a diversified assemblage of images, court excerpts, newspaper columns, interviews, lyrics and videos.
