När ett barn insjuknar i cancer rasar världen samman för hela familjen och föräldrarna hamnar i en svår krissituation. Information och kommunikation är då av största vikt för att föräldrar ska få de bästa förutsättningarna för att klara av resan under sitt barns cancerbehandling.Syftet med denna litteraturgenomgång var att belysa föräldrars erfarenhet av information under behandlingstiden hos ett cancersjukt barn. Detta gjordes genom att söka efter kvalitativa artiklar utifrån sökorden; child, parents, neoplasm/cancer, childhood cancer, information, information needs, education, education needs, communication, communication needs, oncology care, nursing care, teaching. Artiklarna analyserades utifrån Ewans analysmodell.Tre kategorier utifrån föräldrarnas stora behov av information framträdde;1. Att informationen/undervisningen sker på ett sätt så att jag kan förstå och ta den till mig2.

The aim of this project is to find a concept solution for a wireless transmitting system, installed to transmit data from a hydrophone of the ocean floor down by a wave power generator to the office on shore. The project is a literature review in which previous observations and tests are analyzed and put together to find a solution. The result was a comprehensive solution that includes an acoustic modem to transfer captured information from the bottom to the surface, wirelessly through the water. The information is then sent fron the surface on radio waves through the GSM network to the office on land. Between under and over water there are components to convert information between acoustic waves and radio waves, but also various types of modulation, such as amplitude and frequency modulation is required..

The Swedish working-class author Ivar Lo-Johansson (1901-1990) wrote a collection of one hundred short stories between the years 1968-1972. His other productions, generally speaking, have partially different social reform purposes, but, according to himself, these short stories were written with the intention to be totally free of tendencies (even though he himself doubted that he succeeded with this).During the same period that these short stories were published, the Swedish social democrats were under the challenge of radical movements that, mainly on the radical left?s ideological foundation, had a relatively strong influence in Sweden, among other countries, from the mid 1960?s to the late 1970?s. Since Lo-Johansson mainly seemed to have supported the politics of the social democrats, the purpose of the investigation in this thesis has been to see if he ? in the three short stories: Vikingakärlek (1970), Rikslögnaren (1971) and Ansgars resa till Sverige (1972) ? is conveying an ideological use of history and basic political values that were used by the social democratic party during this time period.

För det första konstaterade jag att det är väldigt svårt att mäta produktivitetsförändringar inom IT-området. Trots svårtigheterna att mäta förändringar var det en som uttryckligen lyckats åstadkomma mer under arbetstiden eftersom intranätet medfört att han kunnat byta ut restimmar mot arbetstimmar. Dessutom kom jag fram till att alla respondenter erhåller mer information än vad de behöver till sina respektive arbetsuppgifter. Situationen är mest akut för människor som är ute och reser mycket, och därför inte har en daglig kontakt till intranätet. Många av intranätanvändarna väljer hellre att ta avstånd från intranätet än att riskera att drabbas av för mycket information.Det är inte många av intranätanvändarna som sitter och letar efter information. Utan hittar de inte informationen på intranätet tar de kontakt med personer som de tror ?sitter med informationen?.

Examensarbetet är utfört på uppdrag av Generic Systems i syfte att bl.a. utreda begreppet Information Assurance (IA) utifrån given definition (IA is the process of establishing trust for the information we use in our business). Fokus kom att hamna på taktiska militära ledningssystem inklusive ingående individer.Det finns ett stort behov av en sådan här studie av flera anledningar bl.a. eftersom det just nu pågår ett paradigmskifte; från förvaltar- till förbrukarattityd och från need to know till need to share. Det innebär alltså att ett helt nytt synsätt på information håller på att växa framFörsta slutsatsen som drog var att IA är ett verkligt multidisciplinärt ämne som kräver djupa kunskaper inom många och vitt skilda områden t.ex.

Usability studies are not a central field of research in library and information science. Although literature in library and information science treats the importance of usable user interfaces quite extensively, the literature does not significantly treat potential problems in measuring usability. The aim of this master thesis is to investigate, through a critical analysis, the methods used when conducting usability studies in library and information science. The critical analysis is based on potential problems in measuring usability identified through a literature review from the field of studies Human-Computer Interaction, the concept of usabilitys original domain. The material which is to be analysed, is chosen from one library and information science journal Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology.

 We have chosen to write our thesis within a transport company. The work was carried out at DHL activities in Uppsala. DHL is one of the leading transport companies worldwide. Our interest lies in more efficient and advanced transportation and terminals, as globalization and new trends require effective solutions.The aim of our work is to explain the need for information technology applications in road haulage and associated terminal operations. Furthermore, we analyses terminal and applied information technology.

There is an ongoing process where the free market within the European Union is expanding, partly through the incorporation of new member states, partly through the signing of association agreements with nearby countries and regions. When trade barriers are removed in different ways more companies consider an internationalization of the company. However, the procedure of the internationalization of companies is a rather new and unexplored area in the context of research. The focus of this study is therefore to examine how a few companies situated in Sweden, has proceeded while searching for knowledge during the internationalization process. Data has been collected through interviews that have been balanced with information from Internet and other sources.

The  construction  industry  is  a  costly  business  such  in  respect  of  capital  for  most construction defects which then require rework, tear down and rebuild again. This study is  meaningful  awareness  of  tools  that  can  reduce  this  best  through  communication  and information sharing between the parties.  The  construction  industry  is  known  as  temporary  projects  organizations,  where  the construction  project  consists  of  several  actors  who  have  to  communicate  and  share information  between  them  to  avoid  mistakes  later  in  the  build  time.  These  actors  are bounded together thus for the duration of the project, then broken when the project has reached its end. The challenge here is for these actors to apply a tool that can help and simplify communications, information sharing, and perhaps the most important aspect is to  create  a  routine  for  the  association  and  the  shattering  of  these  actors.  To  implement such  behavior  using  a  tool  such  as  BIM  in  the  industry  whose  size  perhaps  is indescribable may be a very hard task.  BIM (Building Information Model) could be seen as the solution to this problem because it  acts  as  a  portal  where  the  actors  involved  must  sign  in  and  communicate,  share information, and eventually create a behavior, a routine for this association and division of  the  actors  following  the  end  of  the  project.  The  technology  could  help  the  involved from  the  beginning  of  the  project,  already  in  the  model  stage,  break  down  and  prevent any construction barriers when the building has been placed in the works.

The aim of this thesis was to study librarians approach upon reference questions and available resources and also to find out if there is any connection between the nature of the reference question and the choice of resource. The purpose was also to give a deeper understanding of the reference work. Nine librarians were given ten reference questions and their reference work was tape recorded. The study was completed with seven interviews sent by email. Some of the reflections were translated under the headlines of form, subject, time, language and availability.

Teknisk komplicerade produkter såsom datorer, digitalkameror och mobiltelefoner har blivit en del av vardagen, vilket även har breddat gruppen av konsumenter. Detta betyder att tillverkare och försäljare har en större marknad att rikta sig till och att man måste anpassa och ändra sina vanor för hur man presenterar produkterna. Många av de nya konsumenterna är inte intresserade av teknisk information utan är mer intresserade av funktionen hos produkterna. Studien undersöker kvalitet och kvantitet av information och försöker utreda hur graden av informationsöverlastning påverkas när dessa förändras. Genom att förändra antalet attribut och mängden komplicerad information mäts urvalskvalitet och urvalseffektivitet samt subjektiva gensvar hos försökspersonerna.

Nyckelord: asylsökande barn, barnperspektiv, information, Migrationsverket, rätt att komma till tals. Denna uppsats synliggör asylsökande barns rätt till information och rätt att komma till tals ut-ifrån den teoretiska utgångspunkten barnperspektiv som denna uppsats utgår ifrån. Vilken in-formation barnen har fått ta del av, och om och när barnen får komma till tals på Migrationsverket diskuteras i denna uppsats. Migrationsverket har uppmärksammat att myndigheten inte har riktad information till asylsökande barn. Detta ledde till projektet Riktad information till asylsökande barn startades, för att framställa informationsmaterial till asylsökande barn.
