Information handling has been a key issue for different companies for a long time. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is used to transfer different business documents from one company to another. This is done in such way that the information itself is separated from how this information is stored and handled in the companies internal systems. As different companies have different systems there is a need for a standardised format for this exchange. There is a big difference between EDI-systems based on what kind of EDI-standard is used.

Etablerade företag har framgångsrikt utökat sin verksamhet med webbutiker. Postorderföretagen har i allt högre grad gått över till att sälja över Internet och företag med specialiserat utbud säljer nu globalt. Denna typ av Internethandel utförs främst på stationära datorer, men försök har även börjat dyka upp på exempelvis mobiltelefoner och små handdatorer. Det mobila Internet har den unika fördelen att det är möjligt att handla var användaren än befinner sig. Forskare menar att denna mobila handel kommer gå om e-handeln på Internet, där skillnaden ligger i att fler kommer handla på små skärmar och mindre på stora skärmar.

Med utgångspunkt i att e-handel ökat markant de senaste åren samt i att lyxvarumärken har speciella egenskaper som komplicerar handel över Internet, är syftet med vår studie att studera hur lyxvarumärkena hanterar Internet som distributionskanal. Undersökningen grundar sig på en fallstudie av 12 lyxvarumärkens hemsidor samt på en personlig intervju. Den teoretiska referensramen innehåller teorier kring begreppet lyx samt lyxvarumärket och dess speciella egenskaper. Vidare återges teorier om lyxkonsumenten samt köpupplevelsens roll vid lyxkonsumtion. Slutligen presenterar vi lyxens demokratisering samt teorier kring Internet och e-handel.

With this research we aimed to seek how youth workers express their experience of counselling on the internet compared to traditional counselling face to face with a theoretical ground in semiotics and symbolic interactionism. Our questions were 1) How do youth workers describe their experiences from anonymous, faceless online counselling? 2) How do youth workers experience the differences between online counselling and the traditional face-to-face counselling? 3) Which possibilities and difficulties do they see in online communication with adolescents? We used semi-structed interviews with seven youth workers. Six of those are active in non-profit organisations, and one in social services. The results from our interviews showed that the interviewees saw that misunderstandings were more frequent on the internet, but that online counselling with adolescents still was easier than in the face-to-face meetings.

Byggnadsautomation har i dagsläget ett kalkylprogram gjort i Excel som är helt fristående från deras kvalitetsprogram. Dom vill i och med detta få ett två delat system som användaren både ska kunna köra med eller utan anknytning till Internet. Programmet har tillgång till en befintlig kund och komponentregister som man kommer åt via en Web Service. Om det inte finns någon Internet uppkoppling så kommer dessa register att sparas lokalt för att sedan synkroniseras när det finns tillgång till Internet. En kalkyl ska kunna sparas och öppnas antingen på servern eller lokalt som i detta fall är en SQLite databas.

Religion på Internet är en undersökning som behandlar frågor om hur Internetanvändare argumenterar kring skapelsemyter på diskussionsforum på Internet. Vidare argumenteras det för en identitetsskapande aspekt av Internet ? kan sökare, med hjälp av diskussionsforum på Internet, skapa sig en identitet? I ett sekulariserat samhälle utgår man ofta från att religionen förlorar sin betydelse, men det är viktigt att skilja mellan sekulariseringen på organisationsnivå och på individnivå. På individnivå är religionen fortfarande viktig, vilket framgår av de forum som används i den här undersökningen samt i den litteraturstudie som är en del av uppsatsen. Många, framför allt unga, Internetanvändare använder diskussionsforum för att ge uttryck för sina funderingar och med den o-begränsning som Internet innebär kan användarna lätt hitta svar och kommentarer som både kan stärka och bryta ner den egna identiteten. När det gäller religion på Internet är det viktigt att skilja mellan Internet-religion och religion på Internet.

This thesis examines the democracy theories that can be found in the internet websites of Region Skåne and Stockholm county council. Within the framework of deliberative democracy, participatory democracy and electoral democracy, the author tries to distinguish democratic aspects by empirically studying these websites and their communicative effect on the internet users.This research shows that Region Skåne is slightly better in implementing democratic aspects at their home page, which is probably due to an active work with these issues carried out by the politicians and the report on the democratic development from 2004. However, a great deal of work regarding democracy and the possibility of civic participation in the decision- making process is still to be done.The problems and challenges in using internet as a democratic tool shows that citizens run a risk of being neglected, due to their uneven participation in using internet in daily life. The conclusion of this thesis is that the politicians have to make an active choice in deciding to what extent the internet is allowed to be used when it comes to developing democracy. This work has to be done in cooperation with political scientists and IT experts, in order to assure a correct democratic model..

There has been a sharp increase in high-technology surveillance. Surveillance is almost alwaysproposed as a complete response on a wide variety of safety issues. At the same time, there has beenan increase in criminal activity online. There is therefore a considerable interest in using Internetfiltering to regulate the behavior of individuals on the Internet. In recent years, many countries havechosen to restrict content on the Internet, where child-abusive material is the content that moststates currently block access to.
