Användningen av elektroniska kommunikationsmedel ökar ständigt och många organisationer byggersin verksamhet på ett starkt informationsberoende. Verksamheterna har blivit allt mer informationsbaserade och informationsteknologin är en oumbärlig del för organisationers infrastrukturer. Därför är utgångspunkten för denna studie att utveckla ny kunskap om hur individer uppfattar effektiv kommunikation i en IT-intensiv organisation. Arbetet undersöker även aspekter som medverkar eller motverkar den upplevda effektiviteten vid användandet av e-post i IT-intensiva organisationer och hur e-post kombineras med andra kommunikationsverktyg för att uppnå önskad effektivitet. Den empiriska grunden till studien är en organisation, där tio kvalitativa intervjuer gjorts.

During the last decades the questions about environment and social ethics, so called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), have increased in importance. It is in the business world highly important for the corporations to show the public that the company care about these questions. A common approach nowadays is to outsource productions to other countries resulting in that suppliers have a great part of the work with CSR. CSR as a trend is a rather new phenomenon, and therefore interesting to see how the corporations handle these questions and how the approach looks like. The purpose with this study is to show how corporations which are recommended by CSR organizations for their handling regarding these questions approach CSR and how the work look like in the supply chain.

Detta utvecklingsarbete genomfördes under vår slutpraktik på två olika högstadieskolor i Norrbotten. Syftet med vårt arbete var att se om vi genom samtal med eleverna kunde väcka reflekterande tankar rörande deras beteende mot andra. Vår metod gick ut på att i halv- och helklass samtala om vissa utvalda områden rörande etik och moral. För att se om vi uppnått det syfte vi eftersträvat har vi använt oss av loggböcker, enkät och intervjuer. Resultatet vi fick visade att eleverna upplevde detta utvecklingsarbete som viktigt och att de kunde se vissa positiva förändringar i klassens beteende.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka det lärande som sker i fritidshemmet, hur det sker samt elevernas uppfattningar om skillnaderna kring lärandet i skolan gentemot fritidshemmet. För att få ökad förståelse av lärandet i fritidsverksamheten sökte vi svar på frågorna: 1. Vad uppfattar/upplever eleverna på fritidshemmet att de lär sig under sin vistelse där? 2. Hur uppfattar eleverna att det lärande som sker i fritidshemmet går till? 3.

The client, Senselogic, had noticed an increased demand for an e-commerce system integrated into its product, SiteVision, something that did not previously exist. Senselogic wanted to integrate a third-party system to manage e-commerce. The problem was that there were very many e-commerce solutions to choose from. In order to select the best system it was necessary to evaluate the e-commerce systems and compare them to each other. To identify the elements that has to be included in an e-commerce system a study of literature was conducted.

The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to examine the handling and shelving of graphic novels and adult-comics in Swedish public libraries, in order to find out if this type of literature is prioritized in the same way as other forms of literature. The study was conducted by photographing the Hci/uHci shelves at ten different public libraries to give an objective view of the shelving to later be analysed and compared. Inquiry sheets were sent to the photographed libraries in order to get the librarians view of their own comic book shelves and collections. We found that the state of the comic-shelves differed from library to library according to how interested and committed the librarians were. New research areas in the field of Library and Information Science are discussed and questions are raised about the future of graphic novels and adult-comic-books in libraries, about their place in the libraries and about how librarians and the users knowledge of this media can be improved..

At this point seamen have a lot of tasks of administrative character, beyond the traditional tasks aboard a ship. Due to the new conventions that are formed by IMO, more requirements are added which often lead to time consuming administrative tasks and documentation that should be spent on activities which are contributing to the ships safety. The issue has been observed by IMO that has through BIMCO done a study with the aim to identify and reduce administrative burdens at sea.The primary aim of this study is to find out if safety officers aboard Swedish ferries consider that SOLAS Chapter III, 8.3 och 19.5 regulations are administrative burdens, restricted to muster lists and documentation of training aboard the ship.The secondary questions to the study are if it is possible to remove, combine or change the documents and how much time can be saved by doing this. The question about timesaving could not be answered, because the values were scattered and could not be used for further investigation. The observed values were accumulated by a survey and the result indicated that safety officers did not experience the two regulations as administrative burdens.

Hyperthyroidism has become the most commonly diagnosed endocrine disorder in cats. The recommended treatment of choice in the literature is administration of radioactive iodine. This treatment has been available at a few veterinary clinics in Sweden since 1999. Forty-six cats treated with a standard dose (80 MBq) of radioactive iodine (131I) at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in the period 2000-2004 were followed for a median of 13 months (range 3-42 months) by means of a retrospective cohort study design. Tables predicting time of survival after treatment were made. At final follow-up thirty-nine cats (85%) were euthyroid, six cats (13%) remained hyperthyroid and one cat (2%) was hypothyroid.

Proaktivitet innebär att aktivt försöka forma sitt liv och sin miljö. Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att undersöka proaktivitet utifrån proaktiva människors egna tankar och känslor. Av resultatet på ett proaktivitetstest valdes de sju deltagarna med de högsta värdena på proaktivitet ut för intervjuer. Datamaterialet bearbetades sedan med en kombination av deduktiv och induktiv tematisk analys. Deltagarna ansåg sig ha en proaktiv disposition; de beskrev sig som nyfikna; som entreprenörstyper som stimulerades av problemlösning; som envisa; de utgick från målbilder och genomgick en mental planeringsfas innan handling; de betonade eget ansvar; kontroll var viktigt för dem; och de associerade aktivitet med positiva känslor.

Abstrakt Perioperativ omvårdnad innebär att sjuksköterskor möter de patienter som skall genomgå kirurgisk behandling handling före operation, ansvarar för omvårdnaden under operation och avslutar omvårdnadsinsatsen med att möta patienterna efter avslutad operation. Syftet med detta arbete var att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av patientsamtal i perioperativ omvårdnad. Elva vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Analysen resulterade i tre kategorier: att kontinuitet i omvårdnad ger professionell utveckling och arbetstillfredsställelse, att utveckla en vårdande relation som ger kunskap om patienten som person samt att vara osynlig i rutiner och teknik. Genom att använda samtal i den perioperativa omvårdnaden upplevde sjuksköterskorna att hon åstadkom kontinuitet, utvecklades professionellt och blev synlig för patienterna.

The main purpose of this thesis has been to identify and discuss problems connected with the preservation of newspapers in Sweden. Another purpose was to see if the preservation of newspapers has been influenced by the fact that preservation studies in general concerns printed monographs and digital materials. This qualitative study is partly based upon interviews with four librarians experienced in working with newspapers and preservation. The thesis deals with cultural heritage in general and on a more specific level with newspapers where the following questions are dealt with: Why preserve? Who preserves? How to preserve? and What is preserved? Strategies used for preserving newspapers such as paper, microfilming and digitization are described as well as legal deposit, the Swedish microfilming programme and TIDEN, a digitization project of newspapers.
