The purpose of this study is to examine how adult students, studying at an upper secondary school for adults, search for information for their independent tasks in different subjects. These independent tasks are frequent in most subjects and are a part of the ?investigation-work?. For most adult students this is a new way of learning. Fifteen qualitative interviews with adult students have been conducted.

With inspiration from Bitzers situational analysis a phenomenografic method has been used, influenced by Brown & Levinsons´s theory of politeness, to find perceptions concerning constraints (in Bitzer´s sense in his model of the rhetorical situation) in Internet-based communication. Based on three qualitative interviews, this essay has found that the perceptions are closely linked to views of what constitutes formal and informal contexts, varying due to the gender or age of the informant. Netspeak is not considered appropriate, with some exceptions, in any formal situation. However, the perceptions regarding decorum in informal situations differ in nature, based mainly on what kinds of associations and connotations are produced by elements found in netspeak. Since perceptions regarding informal situations vary, there is a large risk of misunderstanding, which this essay aims to survey..

Det har blivit alltmer populärt att ?blogga?. Ordet blogg uppstod under 1990-talet och sedan dess har ett stort antal människor tagit det av fenomenet. Publicering av information på Internet kan innebära att vem som helst kan få tillgång och detta var en utgångspunkt för studiens syfte, som var att få förståelse för hur studiens deltagare upplever att publicera personlig information för offentligheten via bloggar. För att nå förståelse användes kvalitativa intervjuer.

In this thesis we present a qualitative study of Employer Branding through a perspective of gender. We examine the awareness of Employer Branding as a tool to break gender patterns in female and male dominated administrations in three Swedish municipalities.

I den här undersökningen ville jag få reda på hur det går till att undervisa, handleda och att studera ämnet bild via internet och datorn, i vad som kallas distansutbildning. Mina undersökningsområden var en distansgrundskola i Sverige samt en skola utomlands där de bedriver distansutbildning genom att få utbildningsmaterial från distansgrundskolan i Sverige.Jag intervjuade en distanslärare i bild på distansgrundskolan i Sverige, samt mailintervjuade en handledare och två distanselever som befinner sig utomlands. Eleverna studerar på en skola utomlands där de får distansutbildning från Sverige. De studerar ämnet bild genom att få bild-uppgifter via internet av bildläraren i Sverige. En handledare finns till hjälp för distanseleverna på skolan utomlands för att de ska klara av distansstudierna.Den här undersökningen gjordes utifrån mitt eget intresse för distansstudier.

Religion is not only manifested in the more traditional forms such as church attendance, but also in various expressions on social media. Facebook is seen by many as creating a social platform where different opinions and more unconventional discussions may flourish unlike how the traditional media convey information. Internet is therefore an interesting platform for investigating how information about religion is spread by researching religious behavior and expression. The focus of this essay is to examine visible, which includes text as a social practice, forms of religious expression shown by the discursive struggle between the Facebook-group Christian Women Against Femen and its counterpart feminist movement Femen. The essay seeks to answer how notions of femininity on the Internet are formulated and reproduced based on the discourse between these two women's movements.The essay highlights how the women?s movements, with their bodily manifestation and by their usage of words, construct and reproduce different images of gender and womanhood.

I och med att nyckelharpan blivit allt populärare, har den spridit sig över Sverige och även utanför landets gränser. Som nyckelharpsspelman och lärare på nyckelharpa, väcktes ett intresse för att undersöka hur nyckelharpans spridning ser ut under 2000-talet. Syftet är att få vetskap om hur och till vilka nyckelharpan spridit sig och vilka nya användningsområden den kommit att få. Undersökningen genomfördes som litteraturstudier med jämförelser av litteratur nära knutet till ämnesområdet. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att nyckelharpans spridning under 2000-talet främst skett genom olika medier där Internet spelat en framträdande roll. Den globala spridningen är betydande med nya utövare, främst i USA men även i flera Västeuropeiska länder.

During the fall of 2007 Uppsala University gave the course ?Projekt DV?. As a result of this class a publishing tool for real-time media came to be ShiShi TV. The purpose of this application was to introduce a new way to reach out to people. This was done with a video player on the Internet and a second one placed in a regular mobile phone.

The ordinary phone of today is not the same as it was 10 years ago. We still use them tomake phone calls and to send text messages, but the ordinary phone of today has muchmore uses, it is essentially a computer. To put into context to 10 years ago, it is a verypowerful computer, capable of processing wide array of information and presenting it tothe user. Nearly every single device today has a wireless connection, which makes everyuser connectable and able to use online services and internet at any time and place.This gives the user the possibility to integrate his or hers everyday actions with socialmedia and different search functions. Being able to search the internet for persons,restaurants, public transportation and a lot more is very useful to most.

Statistics shows that drunk driving and relapse increases in the Swedish society and it?s a problem that can be considered worth examining because of all the negative consequences that it conveys. To reduce the number of relapse it?s urgent that individuals that have been drunk and driving begins treatment and precedes it. The purpose of this study was to, from a client and therapeutic perspective, examine why drunk drivers begin treatment for their alcohol abuse and furthermore to investigate what?s important for the individual so that he completes the treatment.

Personlig integritet är ett viktigt begrepp i dagens samhälle. En orsak till detta är att tekniken möjliggör insamlande och bearbetning av allt mer påträngande och detaljrik information om den enskilda individen. Syftet med forskningen var att kartlägga den enskilda individens uppfattning om sin personliga integritet. Vilken tjänst/teknik är acceptabel och vilken är alltför kränkande ur individens perspektiv? Var drar de gränsen för sin personliga integritet? Två enkäter lades ut på testplats Botnia vid olika tidpunkter.

BackgroundResearch shows that the majority of patients feel anxiety before and during anesthesia. It has been shown in several studies that preoperative anxiety may cause adverse effects in the postoperative course. Nurse anesthetists have a key role in creating a safe environment and the opportunity to use different interventions to reduce the degree of anxiety.AimThe aim of the study was to examine which interventions may reduce anxiety in adult patients before and during both general, local and regional anesthesia.DesignSystematic literature review with a quantitative approach.ResultsSeveral studies indicate that gabapentin and pregabalin can reduce anxiety before and during anesthesia. The anxiety reducing effect appeared to be dose dependent. The naturopathic drugs Citrus aurantium blossom and Passiflora incarnata Linneaus were found to reduce anxiety before anesthesia.

This literature study aims to examine the existence of cancer stem cells in breast cancer. The cancer stem cell theory states that there is a hierarchical organization within a tumour, in which a small subpopulation of the cells can initiate new tumours and maintain tumour growth whilst the bulk of the tumour cannot. These tumour initiating cells have shown to possess many characteristics similar to those of adult stem cells, which is why they are often referred to as cancer stem cells. Both cell types have the capacity of asymmetric division and have shown to possess mechanisms of resistance to both apoptosis and cancer drugs. The cancer stem cell theory elucidates many biological aspects such as the heterogeneity of tumours and the relapse of many cancers after what appeared to be successful treatments.
