Internet har prisats som en frizon för fritt meningsutbyte och informationstillgång, revolutionerande och oantastligt. Internet kan dock censureras, och detta sker dessutom idag. Därmed bestämde jag mig för att undersöka hur den utförs, hur den kan tänkas förhålla sig till yttrandefriheten samt vilken skada censuren kan tänkas innebära för den. För att först avgöra vad som menas med yttrandefrihet och vari dess värde ligger går jag igenom fem starka argument för yttrandefrihet i demokratiska stater, Mills sanningsargument, Meiklejohns demokratiargument, Bollingers toleransargument samt Scanlons två autonomiargument för att därefter komma in på arbetes huvudteori, Ulf Petäjäs pålitliga kommunikationsprocess. Den säger, i korthet, att yttrandefrihetens värde för demokratin ligger i att den möjliggör en pålitlig kommunikationsprocess som erbjuder folk den varierade information de behöver för att kunna få demokrati att fungera.

The main purpose of this Masters thesis was to examine how the Internet and other electronic sources have affected public librarians use of printed reference sources. During the last couple of years the use of the electronic sources - in particular the Internet has become more established in the Swedish public libraries. Our aim was to examine if and how this has affected the use of the printed reference sources. This has been examined on the basis of the following factors: the gender and age of the librarians and how long they have served in the library. We also examined if the size of the library affects the use of the printed and the electronic reference sources and also which factors that are most important when librarians acquire reference sources.

This essay has a purpose of looking at Swedish independent labels in the music industry and how they communicate with their market through social networks on the internet. There have not been much research about this in the past and we hope to contribute with knowledge to the area. In mind we had the changing music industry, an evolution of the internet and viral marketing communication.To answer our research question we decided to conduct three interviews with people who worked at independent labels and had market communication as their area ofresponsibility. The three independent labels in our study were based in Sweden, except for one that is based in London, England as well as Stockholm, Sweden. We selected the independent labels based on their tendency to work with marketing communication in the social networks on the internet.

The value of an organization?s availability and transparency towards the public whenever and wherever it is necessary has increased. Internet and the social networks have become essential to most of the citizens of Sweden but for organizations social networking still is an area that is relatively unexplored. As the Internet and social media progresses it becomes a greater part of people?s lives, which leads to more demands but also a great amount of possibilities for the organizations that participate in this technical revolution.The purpose of this quantitative study is to examine if and how the people receiving the information published on the Växjö and Alvesta police department?s Facebook-page are considering Facebook as a channel of communication.

The aim of this study was about how librarians in Sweden work with their web page to reach young people between the ages of fifteen and nineteen. Most of the youths in Sweden today use Internet every day for several reasons, and the library should have an obvious place there as well. It shouldbe obvious because almost all youths uses Internet every day and therefore the library needs to be seen there as well to reach out to them. Earlier research has shown that librarians and youths think differently in this question. Youths think that the library web page is more important for the librarythan the librarians do.How do the librarians work with marketing for youths on the web page? Do their policy documents help them in their work?To study this area we have interviewed librarians from six quite large public libraries from different parts of thecountry.

Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka hur och till vad eleverna egentligen använder datorn i skolan. Eftersom jag inte alltid tyckte att deras arbete var effektivt och att de var dåliga på att söka fakta och information på Internet ville jag undersöka hur det förhöll sig lite närmare.För att få svar på mina frågor har jag gjort en enkätundersökning som dels är kvalitativ, men den är också kvantitativ eftersom en del frågor handlar om mängden tid, antal dagar etc. som eleverna spenderar vid datorn. Enkätundersökningen gjordes på två olika skolor, en med högre datortäthet och en med lägre för att utforska om det fanns någon skillnad mellan skolor med olika förutsättningar. Litteraturen som jag har använt mig av och kopplat till arbetet ger en tillbakablick över användning av datorer och IT i skolan och berör tidigare forskning kring ämnet.Resultatet visar att datorer och Internet används flitigt i skolan men har inte tagit över andra läromedelsformer.

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short range wireless communication technology that enables data exchange between devices. NFC is used in many different areas, from subway tickets to authentication systems. This paper presents possible security threats to Near Field Communication and documented attacks that have been used to target various NFC protocols. Weaknesses in different NFC protocols will be presented and suggestions on how to counter certain weaknesses will be discussed. This survey will be valuable for companies interested in protecting their data when using or planning to use NFC systems..

Det är en vanlig uppfattning hos gemene man att Internet är laglöst och att man i princip får göra vad man vill på nätet. Detta är dock en felaktig uppfattning då vara lagar gäller såväl utanför nätet som på nätet. I och med att en ny teknik införs såsom Internet kan det i för sig hända att det uppstår osäkerhet om hur de befintliga lagarna ska tillämpas på den nya tekniken. En juridisk knäckfråga, som Internetanvändningen har givit upphov till, är hur rättsreglerna ska tillämpas på länkning. Kan länkning anses utgöra exemplarframställning, tillgängliggörande för allmänheten eller medhjälp till brott? Mitt syfte med uppsatsen är att analysera om länkning, de lege lata, utgör en brottslig gärning..

 Det talas idag om ett minskat stöd och identifikation till politiska partier. Forskning visar att unga människor spenderar mer tid och är mer benägna än äldre att använda Internet för att skaffa politisk information. I en enkätundersökning med 125 deltagare i fyra åldersgrupper undersöktes om unga i större utsträckning än äldre identifierar sig med icke-parlamentariska rörelser som för fram sina budskap på Internet. Hos deltagarna mättes graden av parlamentarisk och icke-parlamentarisk identifikation som funktion av ålder och Internettid. Unga hade en signifikant högre Internettid än äldre.
