Historical research about the so-called New Left was until the late 1990s an entirely newacademic field in Swedish academia. However, a large part of this research still deals withquestions concerning ?who did what? and perhaps more notably ?who was right?.This thesis is an attempt to move away from such inquiries and instead look towardshow one albeit small but very important part of this so-called New Left discussed andused the term America and things American. Formed largely around the Anti-WarMovement, the Marxist-Leninist ? or ?Maoist? ? Left naturally opposed US worldpolicies; but perhaps more interesting a significant part of the ideas about America andthe Vietnam War seemed to stem from USA itself ? such as naming your anti-war folkgroup ?Freedom Singers? after the US civil rights group ?The Freedom Singers?.Analyzing three Swedish Marxist-Leninist magazines the study thus complements theresearch on not only the Swedish New Left but also the study of anti-Americanisms;firstly, by examining what the Marxist-Leninist left considered particularly American;secondly, by studying in what context these particular Americanism was discussed; and,thirdly, by observing if these notions changed over time, and why.

Title:Cash is King ? or is it?Level:Final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business AdministrationAuthor:Caroline Eng and Jessica HillbergSupervisor:Jonas KågströmDate:2011- 06Aim:There is a long tradition of trading the currency and the first coins can be traced back to Persia already 500 BC. With the modernization of society and the technological advances we have made in recent years, we are now using electronic payments more and more. We pay by card, Internet banking and mobile phone in addition to cash. The purpose of this paper is to follow Swedbank project "cash smart" and have it as a basis when we examine if we are heading for a cash-free society and what obstacles and opportunities there is for a cash-free society.Method:We have used a qualitative method to conduct interviews with two individuals involved in the project "cash smart" at Swedbank in Gävle.

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.

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.

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.

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..

According to Nosti (2012) banks target youths to find new customers by giving them special offers such as debit cards from a relatively early age. However, Moschis and Churchill (1979) point out that age can affect the level of knowledge in the consumer. Therefore, this essay focuses on youths as consumers. Specifically, youths? awareness of security risks in using bank tools such as debit cards or internet banks was studied.

Denna uppsats har skrivits för att visa läsaren hur ett urval av människor från Internet- och reklambranschen ser på reklamfilmens framtid på Internet. Kommer det att ske en ökning av användandet av denna reklamform eller inte? Den typ av reklamfilm som vi talar om här är den typen som är som en kortfilm, inte den typen av reklamfilm som bara är en bild innehållandes ett rörligt objekt. För att skilja dessa två typer av reklamfilmer åt, eftersom båda innehåller rörelse, kallar vi dem "filmisk reklam" och "banner-reklam" Resultatet från enkätundersökningen visade att majoriteten av urvalet från reklambranschen tror att det kommer att ske en ökning av efterfrågan av filmisk reklam på Internet. Eftersom svaren från Internetbranschen var så få kan de inte representera Internetbranschen.

I detta examensarbete har en studie av svenska små och medelstora företag som genomfört en satsning på Internet genomförts. Studien hade till syfte att undersöka vilka resonemang som föregått olika företags satsning på Internet och huruvida företagen uppfyllt sina målsättningar med sin satsning.För att skaffa mig en bättre överblick av problemet och för att kunna definiera problemställningen, så studerades tillgänglig litteratur och tillämplig information inhämtades från Internet. För att sedan besvara problemet och de problemställningar som identifieras i kapitel 3 så genomfördes två intervjuomgångar med olika inriktningar. Den ena intervjudelen inriktades mot reklambyråer som skapar WWW-platser åt andra företag. Den andra intervjudelen genomfördes med svenska små och medelstora företag som etablerat närvaro på Internet.En del av slutsatserna består av att företagen inte planerar speciellt mycket innan de påbörjar processen med att etablera närvaro på Internet och att det kanske till viss del beror på att företagen ser det som en relativt låg kostnad för en Internetsatsning, jämfört med andra typer av marknadsföringskostnader.
