Möjligheter och begränsningar i molnet
Idag väljer många företag och kommuner att placera data i molnet istället för
på en lokal server, detta medför nya problem som tidigare inte varit aktuella.
Datainspektionen har påpekat brister i hur två kommuner använder molntjänster
för att lagra personlig data då de ställer sig tveksamma till
molnleverantörernas hantering av data samt insynen till molnleverantörerena.
I detta arbete kommer det undersökas hur den svenska personuppgiftslagen
fungerar när data läggs ut i en molntjänst. Resultatet av uppsatsen kommer även
visa på de olika säkerhetshoten som finns i molnet och se vad säkerhetsexperter
säger för att ta reda på om kommuner och företag är medvetna om och
uppmärksammar samma hot. För att ta reda på detta har intervjuer genomförts med
en svensk molnleverantör, företag som utvecklar tjänster mot molnet,
privatpersoner som nyttjar molnet och experter inom säkerhet från Blekinge
Tekniska Högskola, BTH.
Resultatet av studien visar att det är svårt att se om en amerikansk leverantör
uppfyller de svenska lagarna för personuppgifter, det visar också att det är
teoretiskt möjligt att anlita en svensk leverantör och uppfylla lagen. Det har
även visat sig att den största oron gällande molnet är bristen på kontroll av
data..
24-timmarsmyndighetens användbarhet
The communication with government and municipality through Internet has
in-creased during the last couple of years. Therefore we have chosen to focus
our bachelor thesis in this particularly area and the needs for usable web
services for the citizens. In this bachelor thesis we are studying a increasing
group users, namely elderly citizens. During the study we have analysed
E-governments ser-vices usability through usability tests. The combination of
conversations and meetings with individuals, observations of interactions and
literature studies give us the opportunity to explore the users needs.
Inkludering - Utopi eller verklighet?
The aim of this paper is to shed some light on to what extent the process of making reality of Inclusion, as stated in International Declarations and in Government policies, has reached the actual educational activities in the school system. My chosen method is a case study, in which I have combined a survey with interviews in order to retrieve enough data for my analysis. I have also studied a number of policy documents and relevant literature. My analysis concludes, for the school that I have chosen to study, that there is still a lot to be done before inclusion becomes a reality. There are many obstacles to overcome, for instance; a constant struggle to obtain enough resources and to reach relevant levels of competence within the personnel.
Aktiebolag utan revisor : ett bolag utan extern finansiering?
This work is a study of subject teachers in social studies and science understand the concept of sustainable development. The work uses a qualitative and a quantitative approach. Teachers in various schools and stages have been answering questions about how they perceive sustainability, how they implement it in teaching and if they feel that school is important for the future of sustainable development at large.The theoretical background is based on environmental ethics as well as the different meanings and definitions of the concept of sustainable development. These theories and definitions are coupled with the empirical results.The study concludes that all teachers throughout the study perceive the concept of sustainable development as something ecological, something that has to do with nature. A few teachers also state economic and social dimensions.Questions about how the teachers in the study implement the concept in their teaching can be seen as three different approaches.
Poultry producers? perceptions of changing market conditions : a field study of the poultry production in Khartoum state of Sudan
Sudan has always showed great potential in the poultry industry, but it has not been until now that this potential has blossomed and is growing quickly. As large agribusinesses1are taking over the market shares within the urban areas, smallholders2 have been put out of business. They are not able to compete with mass production and lack financial assets to improve their production techniques. Contract farming is defined as initiatives from agro industrial companies to secure access to smallholder produce and has in developing countries become a way of allowing the poor to participate in a larger market (Farrington, 1999).
The aim with this study was to investigate the suitability of implementing the contract farming concept within the poultry industry in Sudan today. The study is a qualitative field study and the authors have conducted qualitative interviews with respondents involved in the poultry industry in Sudan.

Fett osynlig? : En undersökning om representation av överviktiga och feta kroppar i två läromedel för gymnasieskolan
This exam paper has examined visual portrayals of overweight and fatness in two swedish upper secondary school textbooks, one in physical education and one in social science. The textbooks were analyzed in regard to numeral representation, interacting social categories such as gender and age, depiction in forms of activities and stereotypes and relation to context close to or far away from a swedish context. The analysis showed an underrepresentation of overweight and fat bodies in both textbooks, but the represention of overweight bodies in the textbook on physical education were nearly nil whereas in the textbook on social science there where representations of both overweight and fat bodies. Combined the both textbooks gave a representation of health and youth as not represented by overweight or fat bodies..
Systemutveckling i praktiken - konsten att tillmötesgå den okända användarens krav
ABSTRACT
System development has become more and more concentrated on development for the
Web and this has resulted in larger target groups. It will most surely continue
to be so considering that the Web will be the infrastructure of business and
services in the future. A big target group involves that the owner of a system
can earn a lot of money from the paying users, but that assumes that the system
can meet user needs. If a system on the Web does not satisfy the user?s demands
then they will use the competitor?s system instead because it is only a
mouse-click away.

Den nya bibliotekariens kompetens : en studie av bibliotekarier utbildade i Borås, Lund och Umeå
The main purpose of this Master's thesis is to investigate the new librarians' experiences and skills in the context of their present work situation and the ongoing debate about the librarian's professional identity and status. Further, the authors wanted to find out whether the new librarians' experiences and knowledge developed throughout their education correspond to the requirements of the employers. Finally, they try to assess theimpact of the "academization" of the library schools on the status of the profession. The data consist of an opinion poll. The investigation is based on questionnaires distributed as a web survey.
Internationalisering inom life science : Fallstudier av Uppsalaföretagen Biotage, Olink och Orexo
Life science sysselsätter i Uppsala 4500 personer varav 60% arbetar på de fyra största företagen. Branschen är forskningsintensiv och producerar bland annat läkemedel och produkter till läkemedelsbolag och akademiska institutioner. Produkterna är nischade och företagen måste ofta vara globala redan från start. Denna studie undersöker med hjälp av teorier om internationalisering tre fallföretag inom life science från Uppsala. Genom intervjuer och årsrapporter dras slutsatsen att fallföretagen främst har internationaliserat sin försäljning med olika strategier för att penetrera internationella marknader.
Det sociala och det tekniska: Möjligheter för Aktör-nätverksteorin inom biblioteks- och informationsvetenskap
This thesis discusses and analyses the existence of two different perspectives, a social and a technical one, in Library and Information Science (LIS). Most of the time the division between these perspectives seems to result in research only using either of them. This can be a problem when studying complex phenomena. We therefore see a need for a metatheory that unites the social and the technical. By presenting and analysing all doctoral dissertations published at the Swedish School of Library and Information Science (SSLIS) 1993-2005, we try to detect and critically discuss the dichotomy between the two perspectives.

"I will go now to my pyre" : Isaks bindande läst genom J.R.R. Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings
This paper investigates the science fiction novels of Swedish crime writer Per Wahlöö, most famous for his collaboration with his writing partner Maj Sjöwall on the ten Martin Beck mysteries. During two important years, 1964 and 1968, Wahlöö wrote the novels Murder On the 31st Floor and The Steel Spring, set in a near future land ruled by a social fascist power structure where political opposition is eradicated. The pretexted notion of this paper is that these novels consists of extensive quantities of criticism against the Swedish welfare state and the monopoly-capitalistic Swedish press during the sixties. Through the lens of science fiction theory and the notion of the novels as historical sources this paper concludes that PerWahlöö´s science fiction becomes a bridge between the classic Swedish detective novel and the new social critic crime fiction in the style of Sjöwall-Wahlöö and others. The novels are also representations of the historical process in the mid-sixties during the radical turn: the sci-fi novels as social criticism of the contemporary society ? an utopian flare.
Interaktion i klassrummet
I den här rapporten beskrivs hur elever mellan åtta och tolv år upplever
användningen av datorn och Internet i skolan. Genom att studera användningen av
Internet med hjälp av intervjuer, deltagande observationer och informella
samtal har författaren i den här rapporten valt att utifrån elevernas
perspektiv beskriva deras situation. Utifrån den etnografiska studie och de
konstruktionistiska teorier författaren gjort utnyttjas sedan erfarenheter från
utbildningstiden för att försökta skapa ett koncept om hur ett framtida
klassrum skulle kunna komma att se ut.
Undersökningar har gjorts om hur information, kunskaper och erfarenheter utbyts
i klassrummet och vilken betydelse det har för användningen av Internet. Men
även hur elevernas själva utvecklas och skapar sig ett kritiskt tänkande och
att lära sig sortera, för dem, relevant information. Jag har även studerat hur
lärarens roll förändras och hur det påverkar undervisningskulturen.
