Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att undersöka vilken syn lärare och elever har påInternet som arbetsverktyg i undervisningen och skolarbetet. För att ta reda på detta har vigenomfört kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra gymnasielärare, varav två arbetar på en kommunalskola och två arbetar på ett friskolegymnasium. Dessutom har vi genomfört kvantitativaenkätundersökningar med 100 gymnasieelever, 50 på vardera skola. Vår undersökning visaratt lärarna och eleverna är positivt inställda till Internet i undervisningen, men den påvisaräven att eleverna, särskilt de på friskolan, har en tendens att se Internet som sin enda källa,vilket är något som bekymrar lärarna. De menar därtill att källkritik är något man som läraremåste gå igenom kontinuerligt för att få eleverna att förstå innebörden av det och hur viktigtdet är.

Dagens samhälle har blivit alltmer komplext vilket lett till att företag måste söka nya tillvägagångssätt för att hävda sig i den alltmer rådande konkurrensen. Företag måste i och med globaliseringens framfart bli mer effektiva i sin marknadsföring och på något vis skapa mervärde hos konsumenten för att urskilja sig gentemot sina konkurrenter. Uppsatsen Varumärke.com behandlar huruvida företag kan komma att förmedla mervärde via sin varumärkesidentitet med hjälp av internet som ett kommunikationsverktyg..

The term euthanasia is derived from the Greek terms eu meaning good and thanatos meaning death, "good death". The penetrating captive bolt is an effective method of euthanasia, when use of drugs is inappropriate. The horse becomes immediately unconscious and falls to the ground. First after the blood is emptied from the body the horse is dead. The use of injectable euthanasia agents is a rapid and reliable method of performing euthanasia. The aim is to stop the flow of oxygenated blood to vital organs and tissues. The muscle relaxants may be used either in combination wih or following an anaesthetic dose of barbiturate, their use use as a sole agent is totally inhumane.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the kind of treatment strategies used by Swedish Veterinarians with cattle practice when treating calves with symptoms of pneumonia. A questionnaire, consisting of seven questions, was sent to one hundred veterinarians who have had practice with cattle and are employed by the Swedish Board of Agriculture. The survey was answered by a total of 73% of the Veterinarians. Of the respondents, 73 % use Penicillins as their first choice of drug for treating calves with symptoms of pneumonia, and as their second choice 64 % use Tetracycline. Supplementary treatment such as NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and/or SAID (steroid anti-inflammatory drugs) are used by 97.5 % of the respondents.

I slutet av 1996 kunde man för första gången som privatperson i Sverige göra bankaffärer via Internet. Under 1997 har användandet av dessa banktjänster ökat explosionsartat och även intresset hos de som ännu inte har tjänsterna har ökat.Detta examensarbete, på 20 poäng, undersöker frågeställningar som kan finnas angående bankaffärer via Internet. De frågeställningar som besvaras i examensarbetet är bland annat: om det är säkert att göra bankaffärer via Internet, varför banker startat Internettjänster, vilken kategori av personer som utnyttjar dessa Internettjänster, vilka tjänster man kan utnyttja.Då bankaffärer via Internet är ett relativt nytt sätt att utföra sina bankaffärer på har följande metoder använts för att besvara ovanstående frågor: litteraturstudie (böcker och artiklar), Internet samt telefonintervjuer.Av de resultat som framkom under arbetets gång kan följande summering angående bankaffärer via Internet göras:Bankerna har startat dessa Internettjänster för att underlätta arbetet både för kunderna och personalen.Den säkerhet som bankerna idag använder sig av kan anses vara tillräckligt säker för att man skall kunna göra sina bankaffärer via Internet utan att vara orolig för att ens pengar skall gå förlorade.Den vanligaste kunden som gör sina bankaffärer via Internet är en medelålders man med god ekonomi. Han utnyttjar framförallt tjänsterna kontroll av saldo, överföringar samt betalning av räkningar.Om man skall se till den historiska utvecklingen av de flesta tekniska hjälpmedel har det ofta resulterat i en minskning av arbetskraft. Än så länge har man dock inte kunnat se någon personalminskning på de banker som har Internettjänster utan snarare tvärtom..

Today, librarians tasks may sometimes take on an educational aspect, e.g. when designing educational courses. Our aim with this paper has been to extend our knowledge of peoples learning and learning processes in order to better adapt our educational courses for different user groups. We have investigated what eight senior citizens wanted to learn about the Internet, and followed seven of them during their course. We have examined how the group experienced a course about Internet use, and how they described their learning and learning processes.

AbstractIn the past decades the newspaper industry went through many changes but it has never had a problem of this kind. With the freedom the Internet brings us today and the wide range of information channels, the newspaper is for the first time seriously challenged.When the newspapers began to establish themselves on the internet they thought it was only to copy the content of the newspaper on to their webpage and the advertisers would come along. This move was not planed and had no vision. When the advertisers discovered Internets wide range of advertisement platforms they started to look for other places they could put their ads. This thesis is about the local newspapers ability to address the problem that the internet has created. I based my study on the following issues:Why has internet caused this problem for the newspapers?What are the prerequisites for local newspapers when they face challenges from the internet?How have the advertisers acted after the emergence of this challenge?To answer these questions I did qualitative interviews with different personalities within the newspaper industry, two local newspaper executives and two professors in media economics. In conclusion the result shows that there are different opinions regarding these questions and different views of how to solve them.

Transdermal drug delivery, besides painfulinjections with syringes, has long been associatedwith small size particle pharmaceuticals, which candiffuse through the skin. This method of drugadministration has only been applicable on a smallnumber of drugs, where active molecules are smalland delivery time should or can be long.Other drug delivery options are oral administrationand injection with hypodermic needles (ordinaryhospital syringes). In oral administration thestomach and liver tend to dissolve the drug and theeffect becomes more difficult to anticipate, anddrug delivery rates difficult to control. Hypodermicneedles are used as a mean of drug injectiondirectly into the bloodstream. This method ispainful and risks infection due to tissue damageand skin penetration.One way to get a painless non-damaging techniquewith high delivery rate that still can delivery largemolecules is to manufacture an array of microscopichollow needles and equip them with a pumping unitthat delivers the correct amount of drugs.This thesis shows the technique and possibility ofmanufacture micromachined needles using low costtechniques of Ion Track Technology (radiation ofheavy ions creates porous materials), electrolessdeposition (non-current activated wet chemistrymethod of depositing metal) and electroplating.

Internet har i över 20 år påverkat samhällets förutsättningar, så även skolans arbetssätt och undervisningssituation. Förändringarna i samhällssektorn avspeglar sig inte minst i samhällskunskapsämnet både gällande innehåll, administration och kommunikation. Satsningarna på internet som praktiskt redskap har varit stora men information om dess teoretiska aspekter har lyst med sin frånvaro. Därav arbetets relevans där syftet har varit att undersöka på vilket sätt gymnasielärare i samhällskunskap beskriver internets påverkan på samhället och hur de undervisar om detta. Fyra kvalitativa intervjuer har gjorts, vilka samtliga har varit semistrukturerade för att kunna besvara arbetets syfte.Arbetets resultat har varit att det funnits stora privata skillnader i användande hos de intervjuade lärarna.

This paper deals with the use of Internet at Swedish public libraries. The author asks whether public libraries should or should not limit access to information available on the Internet. Starting from the American discussion, concerning Internet at public libraries, the author shows the Swedish attitudes. The paper demonstrates that many Swedish public libraries have adopted rules forbidding retrieval of certain kinds of information, such as hard-core pornography and racist propaganda. The persons in charge of such actions claim that public libraries should provide high-quality educational literature and should not spread mass-produced, provocative information.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to describe various methods of treatment and effects of treatment of ADHD, and to investigate wheater there is an association between adults with ADHD and obesity. Method:  Literature review. Twelve quantitative scientific articles were found in the data bases PubMed, Cinahl and MedLine.  Result: ADHD is a cognitive impairment that can lead to serious complications such as obesity. Studies show that drug treatments of adults with ADHD have positive effects in terms of reduced symptoms, increased efficiency and improved quality of life, but drugs can also cause side effects in form of loss of appetite and insomnia. For adults with ADHD and obesity drugs that affect metabolism have a significant impact on patients ability to lose weight.

Blogpics ? young girls views on photography online Young people create new forms of social interaction on the internet, and in Sweden, especially young girls, have become very active bloggers. Girls write, publish pictures and build networks with, mostly, other girls.  This new phenonomen has been described in Swedish media partly as a problem, where adults are worried that the information the young girls publish about themselves is too personal, and can be used for the wrong purposes. It has also been suggested that the content of young girls blogs has little value, beeing mostly narcissitic, superficial and obsessed with fashion and shopping. The purpose of this paper has been to investigate how young girls reflect upon their photographic communication on the internet.  The idea has been to ask the girls themselves about their own experiences, to get a more complete picture of them as internet users, to investigate their communication strategies and solutions when it comes to net integrity  and to talk about how they create gender and identity online..
