A good flow of information in organizations is one of the key aspects of how we define a well-functioning organization. The information flow could be internal as well as external between actors within as well as outside of the organization. In a logistics organization this flow of information is equally important as in any other kind of organization. In this paper we have explored information flows in logistics organizations by applying, boundary spanning and the mobile-stationary divide perspective. In boundary spanning the main goal is to erase or relocate some of the boundaries within an organization, in our case to make the flow of information internally as well as externally better.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the Swedish Institute of public health care uses paternalistic information in their alcohol publications. My intention has also been to examine to what extent the paternalistic information is being used. This is determined simply by how frequently paternalistic information is found in the publications. I chose to analyse five publications that contain alcohol related information and had a clear motive. My results show that all five publications use paternalistic methods with the intention to change readers, or people in their surroundings, alcoholic behaviour. Though this is quite a small essay, I have suggested extended research of the subject ? preferably of all 176 alcoholic publications presented by the Institute of public health care..

The purpose of this thesis is to examine Skogsstyrelsens event Skogens Dag as an information channel by looking at information use and information behaviour during the communication process of the event. This is done by examining the aims of Skogsstyrelsens information distribution during the event in relation to its outcomes. The evaluation is focused on long term effects on the target group and it is restricted to Skogens Dag in BorÄs 2005. The question this thesis intends to answer is: How does the event Skogens Dag function as a tool for information distribution? The theoretical background gives an account of the communication process as well as the relevant aspects of marketing, social marketing, campaigns and public relations, as these are communication attempts that can use an event as a medium.

The management of assets in organisations today can be a challenging task and optimising their usage is critical to ensure maximum profit. For rental businesses offering tangible products efficient management of movable assets are an essential part of the business strategy. The main purpose of this study is to investigate how asset management and asset information management can be carried out in rental businesses and in what ways information technology can support it. By doing a literature review combined with a case study where three rental businesses and their use of information technology were examined we could identify several important aspects regarding asset information management. The results we have found is that rental businesses with a high degree of digitization in existing asset information management systems are able to rationalize existing work processes, which in some ways changes the roles of employees.

By tradition, archival sciences has emerged in a context with defined information processes, with explicit information producers and custodians to which consumers make requests for the information. In this process, the archival science has developed methods and strategies to preserve authentic and reliable records and by that providing trustworthy information. In an online society, people are using the internet to get information for different purposes. Even though there is no legal obligation to guarantee the authenticity, it is of societal importance that the end users get trustworthy information. In this online context, open data is a trend that is growing fast over the world and it is interesting because its conditions raises many questions regarding authenticity.Since open data is free to reuse, link and combine with other information, and it is preferably in primary format it raises questions about how to maintain the integrity and identity of the information, which is the constituents of authenticity as it is used in this work.

ADHD has for a long time been perceived as something that affects children and grows away with time. American psychiatric association state that ADHD may appear differently with adolescences and adults than with children. That could lead to misunderstandings and exclusion by adults and adolescences with ADHD at work life amongst other situations. This report investigates that exclusion and tries to find what information that needs to reach certain target groups to prevent it from happen.The works focus is text design, a part of information design, and looks firstly at the factors that make good information material. Then I investigate if there is a need for more information about ADHD within working life and if so what it would contain.

Syftet med denna B-uppsats i informatik Àr att fÄ en bild av samt fÄ bÀttre förstÄelse för vilka faktorer det Àr som kan pÄverka vilka kvinnor i Äldern 18-25 som offentliggör privat information pÄ sociala medier.  Dock har inte djupintervjuer tillÀmpats utan enkÀter, vilket annars Àr normalt för ett kvantitativt tillvÀgagÄngssÀtt. EnkÀter valdes för att respondenterna skulle kunna svara anonymt eftersom syftet Àr att undersöka samt analysera vilka kvinnor i Älder 18-25 offentliggör privat information pÄ sociala medier.   UtifrÄn en enkÀtundersökning som skickades ut elektroniskt till 25 kvinnor i Äldern 18-25 har jag kunnat identifiera olika faktorer som bidrar till varför vissa kvinnor delar med sig av mer privat information pÄ sociala medier. NÄgra av de slutsatser som dragits utifrÄn denna studie Àr att kvinnor som befinner sig i ett offentligt förhÄllande oftare delar med sig av information pÄ sociala medier samt att de som studerar Àr mer aktiva pÄ sociala medier. .

The purpose of this thesis, was to study decision processes and the importance of information management in the processes within an academic organisation, which led to the work with adaptions according to the law of Equal Treatment of Students in Higher Education, (SFS 2001:1286). A general question was formulated concerning how different information- and knowledge flows interact within an academic organisation and its library during the decision processes. The questions at issue we have tried to examine, concern the factors that have influenced the participantsÂŽ choice of information during the decision processes, in their work of adapting the law of equal treatment, and how these choices have influenced the priorities that were made. The theoretical starting point was basically Cohen, March and Olsens Garbage Can Model. We also found the author Chun Wei ChooÂŽs descriptions of organisations, as systems of information processing, useful for parts of our thesis, especially the parts that deals with the role of information management within the decision processes.

Bakgrund: MedelÄldern ökar i dagens samhÀlle, det uppskattas att cirka 17 % av Sveriges befolkning Àr 65 Är och Àldre. BerÀkningar visar att Är 2030 kommer antalet mÀnniskor över 80 Är vara cirka 750 000. Med en sÄdan utveckling stÀlls det högre krav pÄ vad samhÀllet har att erbjuda sina Àldre. HÀr har olika frivilligorganisationer börjat spela en viktig roll för Àldreomsorgen. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa personalens upplevelser av och uppfattning om vilken inverkan frivilligorganisationers besök har pÄ den Àldre och verksamheten i Àldreomsorgens sÀrskilda boenden i Karlskrona kommun.

Det finns ett stort behov av att skydda information frÄn obehöriga eftersom inte all information Àr offentlig. För institutionen för datavetenskap pÄ högskolan i Skövde gÀller det att skydda information som tentor, inlÀmningsuppgifter och lösningsförslag med mera. Detta Àr information som gör datorsystemet attraktivt för inkrÀktare. För att höja sÀkerheten till en nivÄ som gör det svÄrare för inkrÀktare att lÀsa informationen bör denna krypteras. Olika krypteringsalgoritmer frÄn de symmetriska och asymmetriska systemen beskrivs, studeras och exemplifieras i rapporten.Resultatet av rapporten ger en rekommendation till vilka algoritmer som kan vara lÀmpliga att införa som krypteringsalgoritmer hos institutionen för datavetenskap pÄ högskolan i Skövde..

Patienter upplever ofta att den information de fÄr Àr felaktig. Felaktig pÄ sÄ sÀtt att det Àr för lite, för mycket, ingen alls, given vid fel tidpunkt, för komplicerad och given pÄ ett facksprÄk med mÄnga krÄngliga ord som patienten inte förstÄr. Syftet med den hÀr litteraturstudien var att belysa vilket informationsbehov patienter med cancer kan ha. Studien baserades pÄ 20 vetenskapliga artiklar och resultatet visar att de flesta patienter med cancer vill ha all tillgÀnglig information om sÄvÀl diagnos som behandling och Àven veta vilka valmöjligheter som finns. Det finns dock vissa som endast vill ha begrÀnsad information varför det Àr viktigt att utvÀrdera varje patients informationsbehov.

The information flow of today is endless and the advances in information technology astounding. In today's information society it is of utmost importance not only to be able to find the right information but also to evaluate the information. The expression ?information literacy? is not a new one but it has never been as pertinent and essential as today. Information literacy is however not something which is easily and swiftly achieved.Swedish youth education is based on problem based learning in which the students are expected to research for material, evaluate their finds and use their skills to produce a good written or oral presentation.

The capacity to extract information from vehicles has the potential to be very beneficial. Performing analysis on information about fuel usage, emission values and other driving properties of a vehicle can lead to great economic and environmental benefits.This report contains descriptions of two prominent systems for retrieving information of this nature from a vehicle, On-Board Diagnostics and FMS-Standard, and of an implementation of FMS-Standard.The conclusion drawn after this investigation is that these systems do indeed offer access to the benefits mentioned earlier, although to varying degrees and with differing prioritisation..
