The purpose of this essay is to analyse the descriptions of young girls' experiences of internet contacts, which have led up to sexual abuse. The aim is to give additional understanding and knowledge concerning grooming.       Grooming means that somebody gets in contact with someone else with the intention of committing sexual violations at a later stage. In most cases this concerns adults who contact children. We have chosen to confine ourselves to focusing on the grooming on internet that has happened to girls. By means of thematic analyses of texts from the books Jag kände mig speciell, grooming på internet, 2012 and Alexandramannen, vår tids största nätsexhärva, 2009, we have found certain themes and linked them up with previous research-work and also theory of social psychology.

Internet har blivit na?stintill oumba?rligt i dagens va?rld. Fra?n online-spel till e-handel och fra?n kommunikationskanaler till ett informativt na?t, a?r Internet fo?rmodligen en av de mest framtra?ngande och vitt spridda uppfinningarna av va?r tid.

Syftet med detta examensarbete var att undersöka användbarheten av en webbapplikation som möjliggör beställning/bokning av taxi via Internet. De huvudsakliga frågeställningarna var: Vad har användare för förväntningar på tjänsten samt Vilka delar av webbapplikationen behöver förbättras? Ett tänka-högt protokoll användes där sex försökspersoner fick prova på att använda tjänsten via en dator och samtidigt resonera om applikationen. Resultaten visar att försökspersonerna förväntade sig en enkel, icke tidsödande tjänst, där de skulle behöva ange i stort sett samma uppgifter för att beställa en taxi via Internet som via telefon. Försökspersonerna upptäckte ett flertal förbättringsmöjligheter, vilka handlade om tydligare förklaringar/beskrivningar och gränssnittets design, främst gällande perceptionsproblem..

In order to achieve this purpose a case study was conducted, that revealed that the companies acted according to theories.

Detta kandidatarbete utreder hur väl två operativsystems inbyggda brandväggar fungerar i symbios med en användares vanligaste tjänsteutnyttjande på Internet, samt att se hur likartade de är i sitt skydd från hot. De två operativsystemen som vi utgick ifrån var Microsoft Windows XP samt Red Hat Linux 8.0. Den hypotes vi arbetat kring lyder enligt följande: De två inbyggda brandväggarna är i stort likartade rörande skydd från hot på Internet och uppfyller användarnas tjänsteutnyttjande. De metoder vi använt, för att svara på vår frågeställning, har delats upp i ett funktionalitetstest och ett säkerhetstest. I funktionalitetstestet provades de vanligaste Internettjänsterna med den inbyggda brandväggen och ifall det uppstod några komplikationer eller ej.
