Mängden information och informationskällor ökar exponentiellt med tiden och metoder för hantering av information blir därför allt mer relevanta. Privata och offentliga organisationer uppmärksammar allt mer behovet av en strukturerad och effektiv metod för att kunna hantera denna oundvikliga informationstillväxt.Uppsatsen syftar till att identifiera potential att förbättra det nuvarande informationssystemet inom Bild- och Funktionsregistret genom att tillämpa en Information Lifecycle Management-strategi utifrån Leanperspektivets värderingar. Studien inleddes med en litteraturstudie där de huvudsakliga Lean- och Information Lifecycle Management-principer definierades för att skapa ett teoretiskt underlag för vidare studier. Den efterföljande empiriska fallstudien av Bild- och Funktionsregistret och Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset genomfördes för att få en ordentlig och tydlig bild av den organisationen och dess informationssystem.Fallstudien identifierade de huvudsakliga problemen och möjligheterna i den nuvarande organisationen. Problemen i form av organisatoriska brister, bristande användning av systemet och växande informationsvolymer bemöts genom införande av klassificering, strategisk integration och hierarkisk lagring av information.

Since the year 2005 listed companies are supposed to use international accounting standards when they set up their group accountancy. One thing that has changed with the new standards is the accounting of goodwill and long-lived intangible assets. Earlier companies were supposed to write of their goodwill during the years they had expected the extra profit to arise. According to the new regulation, an impairment test shall be done annually, as well as when there is an indication of decreased value. According to IAS 36 point 134, the company shall provide information in their accountancy about the impairment test.The aim of this study is to find out if some companies may be willing to reveal less information in their accountancy, and if there are any factors that affect this.

Idag finns det inga smarta lösningar som används i barer för att hålla reda på ölfatens volym eller kundernas olika vanor. Med dagens teknik är det möjligt att med hjälp av olika sensorer och annan hårdvara hämta denna information och presentera den på ett relevant sätt.Den här rapporten tar upp hur ett system har utvecklats som en lösning till detta problem, samt vilka metoder som använts. Systemet är uppbyggt av en server som körs på en Raspberry Pi, vilken i sin tur hämtar information från en flödesmätare ansluten till ett ölfat, via en Arduino. Det är till största del konstruerat i Java med en MySql-databas. Resultatet är en webbsida som visar information om ölfatets volym, ölsort och pris..

The purpose of zoos has changed over the decades. From being menageries where wealthy people showed their collections of exotic animals to today?s zoos where science, conservation and education has become a central part of their work.

Bakgrund: I en allt mer internationell värld finns det idag ett tryck från intressenter att företag ska ge en mer snabb och öppen information om deras ansvarstagande, varför företag idag väljer att lämna ut mer information i årsredovisningen än vad som är lagstadgat. Den frivilliga information som företag presenterar utgörs bland annat av VD-brevet. VD har en viktig roll i företaget, inte främst för att skapa förtroendekapital hos företagets intressenter. Studier visar att VD-brev ofta innehåller ord som tyder på att VD försöker försköna framställningen av företagets resultat samt att de ofta själva vill framställa sig i en ofelbar självbild.Problemformulering: Vilken information presenterar företagen i sina VD-brev?Syfte: Rapportens syfte är att studera och redogöra för den information som uppges i VD-brev från 2010 i sex företag, vilka är verksamma inom två olika branscher, samt se eventuella likheter och skillnader mellan branschernas VD-brev.Metod: För att kunna besvara studiens problemformulering har en kvalitativ metod används och en textanalys på sex företags VD-brev har där gjorts.

The internet has fundamentally changed the way people communicate. With all the information that we are sharing over the internet, and the ways which companies want to use our information, the importance of keeping our private information secure has increased.

The results of these studies show that people in general are very aware of privacy concerns on the internet, but that their attitudes toward how important personal privacy on the internet is, differ somewhat..

The student union of Karlstad University is always working for the better for the students, so they can feel safe and that their time at the university is trouble free. To get the students to sign up for a membership, the organization have to inform the students about their work and the benefits that a membership brings.
