Med ett avstamp i vad jag ansåg vara relevant teori, genomfördes studien med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer med personal från ekonomiavdelningen och analyser av dessa..

Är Folkhälsoinstitutet paternalistiskt? : ? en undersökning av Folkhälsoinstitutets alkoholpublikationer
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..

Visuell informationsfilm, komplement till skriftlig information på en dagkirurgisk klinik
Det finns ett stort behov av att på olika sätt förmedla information inom hälso- och sjukvården. Hur patienten tar till sig den preoperativa informationen skiljer sig åt. Syftet i denna pilotstudie var att undersöka om en informationsfilm via internetlänk, tillsammans med skriftlig standardinformation preoperativt, ger ökad patienttillfredsställelse i jämförelse med enbart standardinformation. Med en kvantitativ ansats tillsammans med en randomiserad kontrollerad metod utfördes en enkätledd telefonintervju dagen efter besöket på dagkirurgen.

Rolighetens politik : en studie av politisk humor i TV4:s Parlamentet
Words like pirates and anti-pirates are becoming common features in the cultural political debate of today, and the file-sharing phenomenon has become a more and more delicate and disputed subject. The fact that people are organizing in networks to swap computerfiles with each other has, among other things, led film and music companies from all over the world to initiate a number of anti-piracy organizations, assigned to protect the right to culture and information. The industrial organization Antipiratbyrån (the Anti-pirate Bureau) and the network Piratbyrån (the Pirate Bureau) have on several occasions been used to represent the prevailing conflict in Sweden. The purpose of this study is to apply a sociological perspective to the collective act of file sharing. Additionally, the purpose is to argue that the activity can be understood as a social movement, although it is rarely referred to as such.
Kommunikationsgränssnitt för hårdvaruinventering av IS-baserade system : Communication interface for hardware inventory of Integrated Site
The purpose of this thesis was to create a communication interface which insures that all the right hardware is in its right place in the IS-node before Ericsson AB delivers it to their customers. One of the first parts of this work was to make sure it is possible to create such an interface for IS. This thesis then explains how to construct an interface that retrieves information from the IS-node into a C#-application. One important part of this project was to collect information and transform it to an XML output with the purpose of then being used in other applications in the future. The application created within the scope of the thesis exports the information retrieved from the IS-node in an XML-file or a text-file.
Långsiktigt spårväxelunderhåll - Förutsättningar och möjligheter
Due to their complexity and heavy wear from rail traffic, switches are a sensitive part of the railway infrastructure and moreover expensive to maintain. Furthermore, increasing railway traffic not only accelerates the wear rate but also obstructs the necessary maintenance measures. This paper examines the opportunities for a transition to a long-term maintenance strategy in the Swedish railway network. It contains a study of the maintenance strategy of Banverket, and also analyses statistics of errors in the railway infrastructure. The survey was completed utilising interviews with infrastructure managers, maintenance contractors, planners of railway operations and the Banverket material service department.
Patienters uppfattning om preoperativ information
Hur informeras en person inför ett elektivt kirurgiskt ingrepp på bästa sätt? Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka hur patienter som ska genomgå elektiv kirurgi uppfattar den information de fått hemskickad tre till fyra veckor innan operation. Datainsamlingen genomfördes på en vårdavdelning på ett sjukhus i södra Sverige och 19 patienter intervjuades. Metod för datainsamling var semistrukturerade intervjuer vilka genomfördes med stöd av en intervjuguide och analyserades sedan med hjälp av innehållsanalys. Resultatet av studien visar att behov av information är individuellt och styrs av faktorer såsom tidigare vårderfarenhet, hur patienten tolkar information samt vilka känslor patienten upplever i samband med förestående ingrepp.
Information overload Medvetenhet & motverkan
Information overload är ett stort problem, många organisationer lider av dess konsekvenser och medvetenheten om dessa problem är hög. Ändå så finns problemet kvar, och verkar bli alltmer påtagligt. I följande uppsats ämnar vi att presentera varför detta är så, genom ett arbete kring sambandet mellan organisationers medvetenhet om Information overload och de åtgärder som vidtas mot problemet. För att åstadkomma detta har vi genomfört kvalitativa intervjuer med informanter för att komma till kärnan av denna problematik. Det vi fann var att trots att organisationerna är väl medvetna om fenomenet och problemen förknippade med det så var bara en del av de tillgängliga åtgärderna vidtagna, och det som faktiskt var gjort var av en begränsad karaktär.
Gymnasielärares informationssökning: En studie av samhällskunskapslärares informationssökning i yrkesrollen
The aim of this thesis is to examine Social science teachers infor-mation seeking in their professional role.The focus in this study has been on what sources the teachers use for information seeking, examine and analyze their information practices and how they state their reasons for using different in-formation sources, and finally how these teachers experience con-ditions related to information seeking and how these conditions in-fluence their information seeking.This study is based on four semi structured qualitative interviews. The empirical material from the interviews has been compared to earlier relevant research and analyzed with a theoretical frame-work, which includes conceptions from a sociocultural perspec-tive, a matrix over different kinds of information sources devel-oped by Höglund och Persson and McKenzie?s model of infor-mation practices.The results of this study are:- These teachers use both formal and informal sources and external and internal sources. Digital sources are important and these have consequently been added to Höglund och Persson?s original matrix from 1985.- Information practices tend to overlap each other, for example ac-tive seeking (more specific and prepared information seeking) and active scanning (less specific), which are the two most common information practices among the teachers.
