The rapid change within digital medias has increased the possibilities to make information accessible through network. Therefore the European Union EU considers a harmonization within the Union, in order to strengthen the rights of the originator. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate how the EUs directive 2001/29/EG regarding copyright is to be implemented into Swedish legislation and assess the common opinion in the public libraries on this matter. The basic methodology of this thesis is a democratic perspective, concerning the public libraries democratic role and the right of the citizens to have access to information. The thesis first part is a study of documents.

The focus of this work is to study whether public libraries should offer their patrons unlimited access to the Internet, or restrict which sites they can visit. The most common tool used to limit Internet access is filtering software. The author has administered four interviews with public librarians working in libraries in Southern Sweden. All four librarians had different opinions about restricting Internet access. The most important question asked was if they had chosen to use filtering, and the reasons for their decision.

Inledning: Tidig utskrivning från sjukhuset efter hjärtkirurgi förutsätter att patienterna ska kunna hantera mycket av den postoperativa återhämtningen på egen hand. Det är därför viktigt att sjukvårdspersonalen i helhetssynen på patienten har förståelse för den postoperativa återhämtningsprocessen. Sjuksköterskan har en viktig roll när det gäller patientinformationen och hon kan genom en tillräcklig information hjälpa och stödja patienten under återhämtningsprocessen.Syftet: Syftet med denna litteraturgenomgång är att belysa vilken betydelse patientinformation har för återhämtningen efter hjärtkirurgi.Metod: Studien är en litteraturgenomgång som bygger på 12 vetenskapliga artiklar. Litteratursökning genomfördes i de elektroniska databaserna Pubmed och Cinahl mellan 30 januari till 30 mars 2011.Resultat: Det framkom tre teman i resultatdelen; behovet av information, innehållet i informationen samt att informationen ska vara individanpassad.Konklusion: Patienterna hade behov av information under hela vårdtiden och även under återhämtningen i hemmet. De hade önskemål om att få information om den normala läkningsprocessen under återhämtningen, inklusive den psykosociala funktionen och eventuella komplikationer.

Denna uppsats behandlar värdering av förvaltningsfastigheter till verkligt värde enligt IASB:s standarder IAS/IFRS. Vår undersökning syftar till att utreda vilken information som finns tillgänglig för svenska fastighetsbolags mindre aktieägare i tryckt press och i årsredovisningarna, avseende värdering till verkligt värde. Genom att studera årsredovisningarna för sju bolag och artiklar publicerade i sex tidningar och tidskrifter har vi kommit fram till slutsatserna att:?en mindre aktieägare måste vara aktiv i sitt sökande för att hitta den information som finns,?artiklar som behandlar ämnet inte har publicerats i större omfattning,?den information som lämnas ofta är komplicerad och svår att förstå..

The aim of this thesis is to describe passage retrieval (PR), with basis in results from various empirical experiments, and to critically investigate different approaches in PR. The main questions to be answered in the thesis are: (1) What characterizes PR? (2) What approaches have been proposed? (3) How well do the approaches work in experimental information retrieval (IR)? PR is a research topic in information retrieval, which instead of retrieving the fulltext of documents, that can lead to information overload for the user, tries to retrieve the most relevant passages in the documents. This technique was investigated studying a number of central articles in the research field. PR can be divided into three different types of approaches based on the segmentation of the documents.

This Masters' thesis is a study on the information behaviour of hospital personnel at the University Hospital in Lund, Sweden. A questionnaire was distributed to 301 nurses and physicians working in the intensive care unit, the population was reduced to 244 persons. The response rate was 52%, i.e. 125 questionnaires were completed. Nurses constituted 68 % of the population.

Workplace accidents in Sweden have in recent years increased. Companies are at the same time putting a greater emphasis on preventing accidents and inform about safety and risks. Therefore there is a need to know how to visualize this safety information. This study is based on a part of a project proposed by the industrial company AB Wahlquists Verkstäder, in which they want to visualize their safety information for new employees and existing staff, and also for temporary contractors and apprentices. The purpose of this study is to see what is required of the visualization of safety information and what guidelines that should be followed.

Social media on the Web has become more common over the last decade and in recent years it has grown immensely. The social media with the highest amount of members is Facebook, where not only private persons are found - companies started to establish their profiles on the network in 2006. However, little is known about how these companies succeed and reach their audience with information dissemination and interact with them. The aim of this study is to contribute with information to local companies on how they can manage to maintain their activity with different approaches and strategies. This study examines how three different local companies chooses to spread information and maintain relationships with their members on Facebook.

The aim of the present thesis is to examine discourses about teaching information seeking in upper secondary school teachers. The main questions are: (1) What different interpretative repertoires can be identified among teachers talking about teaching information seeking in relation to students? problem-based tasks? (2) How are these repertoires constructed and what functions can be observed? The theoretical framework is discursive psychology. Two teacher teams from two different upper secondary schools in the Gothenburg area participated in focus group interviews. Group A consisted of four teachers from the Individual Programme and group B of seven teachers from the Social Science Programme.

Syftet med denna rapport är att utreda hur kultur värdesätts i samhället. Tanken är att strukturera upp den kulturpolitiska debatten och sammanföra olika begrepp och perspektiv i en överskådlig modell. Rapporten fokuserar på de kulturverksamheter som är mål för den svenska kulturpolitiken, nämligen konstarterna, medierna, bildningsarbetet och kulturarven. Till grund för min analys ligger särskilt Anders Frenanders forskning kring den svenska kulturpolitiska historien.När det gäller att värdera kultur finns två dominerande synsätt genom historien. Med ett ?kulturkonservativt? synsätt uttalar man sig om vad som är bra och värdefull kultur i allmängiltig bemärkelse.

Background and problem: Financial reports are created for the users as decision support. Stakeholders are often subjects to information asymmetry. Banks represent one of the primary stakeholders and financiers of a company, and place great emphasis on financial reports in their credit assessment process. The question is, however, how useful the financial information actually is. According to previous research, banks consider accounting information as troublesome in some respects, mostly due to accounting choices and judgments.

The aim of this bachelor thesis is to investigate how one independent senior high school without a school library regards the role of school libraries. (What is their view of information literacy? Do they manage to reach the goals of Lpf 94 and the goals of each school subject without a school library of their own?). We have chosen to interview the principal and two teachers. Our major findings are that the public library in our study has been given the role of a school library, a role we think it can not fulfil.

Many jobs in rural areas have historically been linked to the agricultural sector. The restructuring that has been implemented in agriculture has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of jobs in rural areas. A consequence of this is that many people have moved to cities to earn a living. To maintain a living countryside in Sweden, it is therefore essential to create alternative livehoods in rural areas. An industry that can have a major impact in the future is rural tourism.

Bakgrund: Den senaste finansiella turbulensen på bankmarknaden har uppmärksammat att likviditetsriskhantering varit ett eftersatt område. Förtroendet för men även mellan banker minskade samtidigt som osäkerheten ökade. Detta påverkade bankernas möjligheter till att finansiera sig, vilket i sin tur ledde till ökade likviditetsrisker. Som ett sätt att öka förtroende och minska osäkerheten har Baselkommittén för banktillsyn, BCBS, föreslagit att mer information bör delges bankmarknaden. Problematisering: Om otillräcklig information om bankens likviditetsriskhantering offentliggörs, påverkar osäkerheten förtroendet för bankerna.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between perceived popularity, social information processing and working memory. With the intentions of examining popularity 209 (98 female, 111 male) children in second and fourth grade were presented with a roster of their classmates and were to nominate whom they liked and whom they disliked. To study working memory capacity a working memory test, that places demands on the participant to work both with and store the given information, was used. To examine children's cognitive processing of empathy-provoking information a cognitive appraisal interview was conducted. The results imply (a) that working memory increases with age, (b) that there is a weak relation between working memory capacity and popularity, and between popularity and cognitive processing styles and (c) that there are some strong correlations between working memory and cognitive processing styles..
