The aim and research questions of this study are concerned about how, and what kind of, problems and subjects that citizens raise during verbal Interaction with politicians and officials in the field of participatory democracy. The theoretical framework of the study dominates by theories with a positive approach towards participatory democracy, but there is also a broader discussion on the phenomenon?s strengths and weaknesses.The case in focus of the study is a specific phenomenon of participatory democracy created by the municipality of Växjö. The empirical material that is analysed is consisted of written text based on the verbal Interaction from these meetings between citizens and politicians/officials.The outcome of the study shows that most of the verbal Interaction was held between citizens and politicians/officials in a vertical direction and that a major part of the responsibility concerning the raised subjects is estimated to be in the hands of the latter part. In the light of under what circumstances the meetings are practised, the democratic and collective minded performance of the citizens is argued to be in good condition, despite the dominating vertical Interaction and estimation of trust..

In the growing concern for the state of the environment more tools are being integrated in the decision-making processes. Sweden actively makes use of environmental impact assessment (EIA), which is supposed to minimise negative impacts of a project, policy or plans on the environment.

The aim is to find out whether it is possible to use trust as a framework for analysis since trust research is very discipline dependent.

The progress in the field of technology is often described as massive and its development has had a great impact on the social development (Vetenskapsrådet, 2012). As a result of the digital evolution, there has been a change in the way customer and company interact (Normann, 2011). The traditional way for players to interact with each other required an Interaction human to human (ibid), a mode of Interaction that now can be replaced or supplemented by todays technology and often Internet-based solutions (Salomonson et al., 2013). These technological solutions, the technical Interaction, are often referred to as self-service systems. These systems enables the customer to carry out the tasks previously performed by the company (Hilton and Hughes, 2013).

This study presents an alternate viewpoint to the strive to overcome the gap between research and practitioners within paper prototyping in Interaction design. Earlier research identifies three aspects of this gap, which is:Practitioners being unaware of Interaction design methods and theoriesPractitioners being aware, but choosing not to apply these methods and theories, due to time, budget and constraints of labourPractitioners and research having different perspective on similar design issuesOur study was done by carrying out qualitative interviews with Interaction designers based on two digital design bureaus. One of the bureaus has an expressed link to research: the other has not. Our hypothesis is that the gap would manifest as a difference in work practice between the two bureaus.Our study shows that the two bureaus have similarities in work practice and that this work practice is based on scientific methods and theories, but is adapted to fit the client and/or the project. We conclude that the overcoming of the gap might not be necessary.

The purpose of this study has been to create a better understading of how face?to?face activities in course´s impacts on the experience of Interaction within a course.More specifically, the study puts the student'?s perception of how mandatory face?to?face activities affect and are affected by the Interaction in focus. This is done by the following research questions. What affects the student'?s perception of face?to?face activities? Which Interaction dimension affects the factors that influence students perception of the activities? Which Interaction dimension is influenced by the student'?s perception of the activities?The theoretical base is Wagner'?s (1994) three types of Interaction and Andersson´s(2003) theory of Interaction dimensions.

By comparing the experience off Interaction in a life world with a drug habit and a life world without a drug habit you might find how they differ. We asked four former drug abusers in four semi structured interviews to describe their experiences off Interaction under these two circumstances. The difference between the two life worlds when it comes to Interaction is that in the drug abusing life world our informants describe that communicative action has to stand back for a more goal oriented action. In the drug free life world, communicative action on the other hand is experienced as the most important action. The difference is about wether Interaction is goal oriented or oriented at understanding.
