The environmental work of companies has become an incredibly important factor in achieving reduced levels of environmental pollution. For companies the work on environmental issues began in the 1980s. During this time companies also began to show interest for the personnel, an interest that was shown in the form of attempts to disclose personnel information in economics. Earlier this information was separated from the financial information, despite the fact that the revenues are created by the employees.The purpose of this paper is to examine how well companies with a notification or a permit today account for environmental- and personnel information in their director?s report.

The thesis of this work has been to investigate the information behaviour of archaeologists. Interviews were made, between March-September 2002, with ten archaeologists, employed in one Swedish organisation, conducting rescue archaeology. The archaeologists were all experienced in working positions as project leaders. Our thesis could be expressed in following questions: - Which sources of information did the archaeologists use in their work? - Which external and internal factors had influence on the information behaviour? The results of this study have been analysed within a theoretical framework of T.D Wilson, Lars Seldén, Lars Höglund and Olle Persson, among others.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, fMRI, can be used for analyzing brain activity in subjects performing language tasks. The purpose of this study was to develop aphasia-friendly information adjusted to aphasic subjects participating in fMRI studies. The objectives were to investigate if adjusted information was important for the ability to perform language tasks and if the information could be used for different types of aphasia.Sixteen aphasic subjects participated in the study, six of these underwent fMRI. The participants varied in grade and type of aphasia. They had Swedish as their native language and were aged between 26 and 89, mean 57.

Stora butikskedjor anvÀnder sig utav en visual merchandiser. De grundar sin utbildning pÄ forskning och konceptlitteratur som anger regler och riktlinjer för hur ett skyltfönster ska utformas pÄ ett tilltalande och effektivt sÀtt för att skapa uppmÀrksamhet samt förmedla butikens image. Denna rapport undersöker vikten och anvÀndandet av denna typ av litteratur och teorier hos mindre privatÀgda butiker. Riktlinjer för denna rapport utgÄr frÄn frÄgestÀllningen: Hur skiljer sig mindre butikers utformning av skyltfönster frÄn teori?De gemensamma nÀmnarna för författarna till litteraturen handlar om fÀrg, ljus, gruppering, sinnen och skyltfönstrets primÀra egenskaper.

Under de senaste decennierna har CSR uppmÀrksammats bland företag och samhÀlle. CSR behandlar aspekter som miljö, samhÀllet och företagsledning. Denna uppstÄndelse har bidragit till att företag börjat rapportera om dess hÄllbarhet i Ärsredovisningar och dessutom i enskilda hÄllbarhetsredovisningar. Denna rapportering Àr frivillig i mÄnga lÀnder men mÄnga företag föredrar att rapportera om detta för att legitimera sig för sina intressenter. DÄ denna rapportering blivit mycket populÀr har flera ramverk utvecklats och den mest tillÀmpade Àr riktlinjer utfÀrdade av GRI. Syftet med denna studie Àr att undersöka vilka företagsekonomiska egenskaper som pÄverkar omfattning av hÄllbarhetsredovisning för företag i olje- och gasindustrin.

The relation between LIS and physical bibliography is examined primarily through an analysis of such LIS literature as applies physical bibliography in research or otherwise discusses its relevance to information studies. Quite a number of scholars are stressing the usefulness of this bibliographical tradition, even though its position in LIS agenda as a whole seems to be less established. These scholars suggest that physical bibliography presents interesting conceptual and theoretical implications for many of the central objects of study in LIS, for example, knowledge organization, information retrieval, and information seeking. It is also suggested that physical bibliography could help deepen our knowledge and understanding of the digital media ecology. Physical bibliography is foremost seen as a method for the analysis of documents, a method in which not least its terminological apparatus may be a significant tool.

The purpose of this study was to find out what are the information needs of the nurses and if the hospital library can satisfy these needs, and see how the hospital library reaches the nurses with their information provision. The main questions are: what kinds of service exist at the hospital library? What kinds of needs have the nurses concerning the hospital library? How are the needs satisfied by the hospital library? What marketing strategies are used by the hospital library to reach out to the nurses? Is it enough to achieve the goal? The method in this study was a case study with the emphasis on the qualitative interviews. The study was conducted at the hospital library at Södra Älvsborgs Sjukhus in BorĂ„s.

Bakgrund: FörÀldrar Àr ofta oroliga i samband med barnets operation. Studier har visat att god information till förÀldrarna kan minska denna oro. Dock har studier Àven visat att förÀldrar till barn som ska opereras fÄr ofta bristfÀllig information bÄde pre-, per- och postoperativt.Syfte: Syftet med den hÀr studien Àr att ta reda pÄ hur förÀldrar till barn som har opererats, pÄ ett barnsjukhus i mellersta Sverige, upplevde informationen de har fÄtt pre-, per- och postoperativt.Metod: Kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med nio deltagande förÀldrar. Data analyserades med innehÄllsanalys.Resultat: Den skriftliga hemskickade informationen upplevdes bristfÀllig dÄ information om operationen samt hemsidan saknades. Den muntliga preoperativa informationen upplevde vissa förÀldrarna som tillrÀcklig dÄ de fick information angÄende operationen.

Inledning: Revisionsplikten har funnits i Sverige sedan 1983 och uppkom pÄ grund av den ekonomiska brottslighet som var vanligt förekommande bland mindre bolag. Just nu Àr frÄgan huruvida Sverige ska fortsÀtta ha en revisionsplikt eller inte aktuell. Regeringens förslag om frivillig revision för smÄ företag kommer vid ett eventuellt införande att beröra cirka 300 000 svenska bolag. Som förslaget ser ut i dagslÀget kommer reglerna att trÀda i kraft 1 juli Är 2010. Effekterna av ett slopande av revisionsplikten diskuteras flitigt bÄde i positiva och negativa termer.

The city of Kalmar has a desire that their 3D maps of the city should come to a greater use and get residents more involved in Kalmar city. The purpose of this report is to show one way to work with these 3D maps when it comes to presenting information about Kalmar for its residents and tourists in a specific area.  The report also includes information about advantages and disadvantages with the use of 2D and 3D maps in different environments. Various reports and other sources indicate an interest in 3D and a use for this, but even that 2D is still seen as a natural way to read a map. By collecting information from relevant literature, interviews and user testing, the group has obtained sufficient background information to present the results of a web site, where the visitor can navigate in both 2D and 3D in a specific area of Kalmar. User tests and surveys have been conducted in two rounds and the web site has been revised after their results..

This Master's thesis in library and information science aims to shed light on the concept of information literacy in higher education, particularly as manifested in two dissertations on the subject. Two models of information literacy are compared: Christina Doyle's list of ten attributes for students to master and Christine Bruce's seven conceptions of information literacy. The cognitive-behaviourist tradition in Doyle's study and the alternative, phenomenographic approach in Bruce's research are compared and commented. The taxonomies and internal relationship between separate components in the two models are investigated, as well as the ways the models relate to each other. The respective views of knowledge and learning are described.
