This thesis aims at examining to what extent a few, algorithmically very easily extractable document features can be used to classify electronic documents according to genre. A set of experiments is therefore carried out, using only 11 such simple features in an attempt to classify 84 documents belonging to electronic academic journals into three manually identified genres: table of contents, article, and review. The 11 features are also divided into three sets, containing metrics of words and sentences; punctuation marks; and URL links, respectively. The performance when using these sets of features is then measured with regard to classification accuracy, using a k-NN classifier, four different values of k (1, 3, 5, 7), and both leave-one-out and 10-fold cross-validation. Best results are achieved when using all three feature sets (i.e.

I ljuset av en upphovsrätt som har till syfte att skapa incitament för nyskapande, innovation och tillgå allmänheten med kultur krävs förändring av lagstiftningen på området. Detta för att säkerställa de ensamrättigheter, rätt till exemplarframställning samt rätt till tillgängliggörande för allmänheten, en upphovsman erhåller till dennes verk. Idag ger förvisso den gällande rätten dessa rättigheter skydd. Emellertid bryter många svenskar mot detta skydd och gör intrång i den till upphovsmannen eller rättighetsinnehavaren knutna upphovsrätten. Att en förändring är påkallat inom området står klart eftersom ytterst få av dem som gör intrång i upphovsrätten åläggs ansvar för gärningen.  Dock finns olika synpunkter på i vilken riktning förändringen ska ske.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att, med bakgrund av vad som redan studerats inom ämnet marknadsföring till segmentet 50+ samt nyförvärvad kunskap, ta reda på om det verkligen är värt för de utvalda bilföretagen att satsa på anpassad reklam mot segmentet 50+ och om konsumenterna inom detta segment uppskattar att de får reklamen direkt riktad till sig. Vi valde att utgå från en abduktiv ansats med kvalitativ forskningsmetod. Vi har valt att göra telefon- samt fokusgruppsintervjuer som ligger till grund för vår insamling av empiri.

Bakgrund: Ett problem vid varumärkeshantering är att det vanligen finns ett gap mellan varumärkesidentiteten och varumärkesimagen. Gapet förklaras, i den traditionella litteraturen, av bristen på tid, kunskap och resurser. Vi anser dock att detta inte tillräckligt förklarar denna ?mismatch?, varför vi således vill nyansera förklaringen till varför detta gap uppstår. Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att utveckla teoribildningen kring varumärkeskommunikation.
