Social kommunikation via internet ? tvång eller frihet? : Kvalitativ intervjustudie: hur vuxna upplever att umgänge via internet påverkar deras vardagsliv

Syftet med uppsatsen är att genom en småskalig, kvalitativ, intervjustudie åskådliggöra hur vuxna upplever att social kommunikation via internet påverkar deras var­dags­liv, med fokus på upplevelsen av egen kontroll och styrning. Forsk­nings­frågorna: Vilka är för- och nack­del­arna? Ökar känslan av social ge­men­skap eller ger kom­munika­tion via inter­net en upp­levelse av isolering? Vad är verklighet i samman­hanget? Hur upplever individ­erna att den soci­ala kom­munikationen tar plats i deras vardags­liv? Upp­levs en känsla av kon­troll eller be­ro­ende?Teorierna som används finns i spänningsfältet mellan teknikdeterminism och bilden av en eman­ciperad an­vänd­are. De baseras på resonemang från Sherry Turkle om hur vi fjät­tras till kommunikationsredskapen och Maria Bakar­djievas syn på att internetanvändning kan ha en frigörande effekt samt att att män­niskor gör ak­ti­va och överlagda val. Som metod för in­sam­ling av empiriskt material an­vänds den kvalitativa forsk­nings­intervjun, för att komma åt det unika i varje persons be­rättelse.

Det bästa av två världar: en analys av bibliotekskultur vid Malmö högskola

The study of culture is specifically relevant to libraries confronting changes. A variety of conditions makes it beneficial for libraries to understand the strengths as well as the weaknesses of the underlying culture.

To accomplish this we will explore the concept of library culture, its substance, meaning and expression.Culture is reflected in the artifacts, values and underlying assumptions of formal and informal groups. Culture can be found at various levels.

UTVECKLING OCH KONTINUITET: En nyinstitutionell fallstudie av ett danskt folkbibliotek i förändring

Title: Development and continuity: A new institutional case study of a Danish public library in changeAbstract: The purpose of this master's thesis is to discuss and analyse the relationship between the traditional core values belonging to the institution of the public library, and the development work that takes place at the institution. The thesis also investigates the relationships that influence the development work.By investigating a library that is considered progressive in its development work, our purpose is also to unveil alternative values that compete with the traditional core values. By illustrating the perception among seven staff members and the director at Aarhus Public Libraries, we want to illuminate the terms for development among public libraries. In addition to our interviews, an activity plan is studied.We base our study on new institutional theory which focuses on norms and values in an organisation. This focus helps us to understand the development work from a comprehensive view.Our study shows that the development work at Aarhus Public Libraries is taking place in a complex environment that consists of several different actors and different interpretationsof the traditional core values of public libraries.

Samband mellan ungdomars föräldra- och kompisrelationer

During adolescence the teenager tries to become an independent individual, something that for many individuals can be experienced as"a hard time". In early childhood the individual was closely connected to the parents, but during adolescence friends and new contacts become more important. Studies in developmental psychology have most often adopted a parent-perspective, which is why a child-perspective is required. The aim of this study is therefore to measure the teenager's relationship with parents and friends and to look for possible correlations between these. As a means of measuring quality in the relationships, the IPPA, the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, was used.
