The focus of this work is to study whether public libraries should offer their patrons unlimited access to the Internet, or restrict which sites they can visit. The most common tool used to limit Internet access is filtering software. The author has administered four interviews with public librarians working in libraries in Southern Sweden. All four librarians had different opinions about restricting Internet access. The most important question asked was if they had chosen to use filtering, and the reasons for their decision.

Internet har skapat ett nytt sätt att göra affärer genom att frambringa en helt ny marknad och omgivning för företagen. Många företag i olika branscher har idag kompletterat sin ordinarie försäljning med försäljning via Internet. En av dessa branscher är dagligvarubranschen som vi har valt att undersöka. Vårt syfte med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur butiker som säljer livsmedel via Internet har löst det nya försäljningssättet gällande de nya arbetsuppgifter som tillkommer. Vidare har vi undersökt butikernas syfte med att börja sälja livsmedel via Internet, samt vad de ser för fördelar.

The aim of this master's thesis is to describe the management of free Internet resources in three Swedish research libraries. With the starting point in the increased quantity and importance of these resources, together with reflections on the change of the concept of collection, the thesis shows how and to what extent these freely accessible Internet resources are being integrated in the day-to-day work with collection development. It also elucidates the problems with the free Internet resources from the research libraries points of view. The study is based upon analyses of collection management literature and qualitative interviews with librarians at the chosen libraries. The thesis shows that the research libraries still have not come very far in their work of integrating the free Internet resources in their collections.

Syftet med vår studie är att förstå i vilken omfattning pedagoger använder Internet för att publicera dokumentation av barn i verksamheten, och hur delaktiga barnen är i dokumentationsprocessen. Vi vill åskådliggöra pedagogers uppfattningar om dokumentation som synliggörs på Internet och vi hoppas att tillföra en synvinkel av hur delaktiga barn är i dokumentationsprocesser, dels det som synliggörs i förskolan men även det som publiceras på Internet.För att fånga omfattningen av pedagogers användande av Internet i verksamheten samt deras uppfattningar ingick 63 förskollärare och barnskötare i en enkätstudie.Resultatet visar att det sker ett publicerande av dokumentation på Internet som är både öppet och slutet för allmänheten. En viktig slutsats är att barn inte alltid är helt delaktiga i dokumentationsprocessen och urval av material som ska publiceras samt att pedagoger inte alltid tänker på de socioekonomiska förutsättningarna som råder i Sverige. Detta kan leda till att barn eller vårdnadshavare inte får ta del av dokumentation då det ibland förutsätts att alla har tillgång till Internet i hemmet..

The meaning of this scientific study is to find and focus on witch the primary factors/aspects are, that controls and is the very foundation for the consumer making a purchase, by using the internet.

The purpose of this media scientific study is to contribute to a better understanding about how blind people?s empowerment and participation may affect their role in the digital society.Earlier international studies in this area have shown that blind people not only need more knowledge then the seeing population about the computer, but also about the technology behind their tools for using Internet. The results from these studies have also shown that Internet increases the blind people?s independents and that those who use Internet feel more involved in the society.A qualitative method was chosen to study the three most common categories from the earlier studies: knowledge of technology, empowerment and participation. Are there differences in the results compared to our study in Sweden 2014?Interviews with eight blind, experienced computer users have shown that knowledge of technology is essential for their use of Internet and that the Internet increases their empowerment and their participation.

The present study aimed to replicate Tversky & Kahneman's' survey of 1981 The Asian Disease Problem. A survey was conducted on the Internet (N = 200). An identical problem was added, yet with The Swine Flu as the disease. This was done to be able to investigate if there are any order effects, and also if it matters whether the mentioned disease is fictional or real. The results show the same results as Tversky & Kahneman already noted; positively and negatively framed problems generate different responses from the participants.

The main purpose of this study has been to explore and determine how the journalistic work was used by internet users to start and keep a discussion on the internet going.We started in the aftermath of a local arson in a town of Sweden, where a discussion on the internet forum Flashback and the local newspapers commentary fields was raised.We have used these discussions to study what part the journalistic work play in these events. To do that we used a critical discourse analysis and a rhetoric analysis to investigate how these discussions use news articles to make their point. We divided the comments into four different categories, which are comments about understandings of the event, comments that talked about the matters of fact, criticism pointed at the newspaper and comments that identify the offenders.The result of the analysis shows that both forums use journalistic work as facts in their discussions. Both also use earlier articles that were written before the arson, to make their point in the discussion..

Bakgrund: Uppkomsten av Internet och introduktionen av Internettjänster som möjliggör aktiehandel har gjort det möjligt att handla med aktier på ett helt nytt sätt. Denna uppsats fokuserar på att utreda huruvida Internet och Internettjänster som möjliggör aktiehandel via Internet har påverkat aktiehandeln vid Stockholmsbörsen. Frågorna uppsatsen har besvarats med hjälp av litteratur samt med hjälp av intervjuer med ansvariga för aktiehandeln vid två av Sveriges största banker.Problem: Hur har aktiehandeln på Stockholmsbörsen påverkats i och med att svenska folket fick tillgång till Internet och Internettjänster som möjliggör aktiehandeln?Vilka likheter och skillnader finns det mellan aktiehandel över Internet och annan Internetbaserad handel?Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda hur aktiehandeln vid Stockholmsbörsen har påverkats i och med att aktiehandeln har blivit förenklad och tillgänglig för alla i en större utsträckning genom tillgången till Internettjänster som möjliggör aktiehandel. Ett delsyfte är att testa förklaringsvärdet på modellen för Internethandel som appliceras på empirin i denna uppsats.Resultat: Studien som har genomförts visar att Internettjänsterna inte direkt har lockat nya investerare att investera i aktier.

The number of wireless networks has increased rapidly among both home users and companies in just a few years. That has brought a lot of good things with it, for example the possibility to connect wireless equipment to the network or Internet from an arbitrary position within range of the accesspoint. But since the transmissions take place through the air some new security risks appear. It?s difficult to restrict the signals to a specific space and thereby a lot easier for unauthorized to eavesdrop or disturb the signals compared to a traditional wired network.

This is a study of the national test in 3rd grade. The national test is obligatory and is conducted in 5th and 9th grade, but since the spring of 2009 the tests also become mandatory in 3rd grade. The case study of this research is to find out how children in 3rd grade perceive the purpose of the national test. The survey should also clarify how students think and feel about the national test, and how they feel before the national test and after they have finished writing the test. Has the test positive or negative influence on children? The survey will also show how much teachers clarify what the significance of the national test is for the students.

The main purpose of this Master thesis is to investigate the journalists' attitude towards Internet as a news medium. The thesis also gives a general synopsis of the changing role of news media as enter the scene of Internet. The major part of this study consists of empirical studies though there is not much research-work made in this area. This case study is based on qualitative interviews of journalists. This method was the most suitable as the aim was to see tendencies and attitudes in a more individual light.
