This thesis is performed as a case study, and has had the aim to study who has the power over cultural heritage, by studying the digitization selection criteria at KB and what influences there can be on the digitization selection process. The theory of the arm?s length principle, (Mangset, Kunst og makt, 2013) the professional model, (Rothstein, 2010), that digitization re-shape and re-contextualize cultural heritage material, (Dahlström et al. 2013), and different concepts will influence the digitization selection process has been used in this study. A qualitative research with document study and informant interview and e-mail interview has been conducted.

When producing an interview report the researcher is put to the test of describing the qualitative interview method in terms of assumed orderly steps and procedures taken during the interview process, while at the same time account for a very social dynamic process. In practice, even the most carefully prepared scenario for a qualitative interview study probably does not correspond to the expectations made. What happens between the plans and the actual interview itself? This issue is investigated by contrasting the actual engagement of the participants in an interview project to how these relationships are accounted for in Master thesis from the Swedish School of Library- and Information Science in Borås. Theory and methodology from Actor Network Theory (ANT) have been applied into the area of qualitative interviews.

The aim of this study is to examine which communication channels and communication strategies Umea? municipality could use for information concerning outdoor recreation.

The employment interview is an important part of the recruitment process because the recruiter then has a chance to form an opinion about the applicant as a person. The purpose with this study has been to examine if there are any differences between inhouse-recruiters and recruiting consultants concerning the employment interview and its assessment methods. Five inhouse-recruiters and five recruiting consultants have been interviewed on the basis of a manual. There are differences between the groups in 6 of the 17 themes that have been examined: purpose with the employment interview, private-, double- or panelinterview, length of the interview, personal chemistry, appearance and objectivity in the assessment. Many of the differences are caused by the fact that inhouse-recruiters recruit for their own organisation and recruiting consultants recruit for a client.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the process of overtraining syndrome as a part of development in sports and careers. It is based on theories about overtraining syndrome and athlete career transitions. The intention was to find patterns that illustrate critical factors in the athlete career for overtraining syndrome to occur, but also for preventing overtraining syndrome to emerge and for rehabilitation.The Informant was a 19 years old man who had completed his studies at a Swedish sports-?gymnasium?. Two semi structured interviews were made, the second as a following up interview.

The starting point of this work has been to get knowledge about teachers working in a mathematical workshop with the students. I also wanted to investigate what students think about math, both within the workshop and in traditional teaching.To achieve this I chose to interview a teacher in charge within the framework of a mathematical workshop, and six students in the 5th grade. I also did a lesson observation with the purpose to see how well the teacher?s tutoring agrees with the results of the interview.In this study I have discovered that the lessons in the mathematical workshop are planned after what the students are working with in the textbook. The teacher opens the lessons with the whole class and then splits it up in groups.

The purpose of this thesis is to study how some librarians working at a public library experience problems that can occur at the reference interview, slightly focusing on communication difficulties. Therefore I interviewed three librarians working at the reference desk on a daily basis. I chose to limit the study to public libraries and to the south of Sweden. My main question is: what difficulties can a librarian encounter during a reference interview and what can he/she do to treat these? In support of my main question I have three subordinated questions:What reasons can there be to a librarian not understanding a user?s information need?What methods are useful for a librarian to enhance the condition of the reference interview? What attitudes and qualities can be of use for the librarian at a difficult reference interview?For the collection of empirical data I chose to use semi-structured interviews.

The purpose of this Master Thesis was to study the reader in the informal reading group. To fulfil our purpose we have used the following questions: how did the reader become a reader and what does her reading look like, why do people choose to participate in a reading group, how may the group influence the individual member in her reading and interpretation of a book, does the reading group have a therapeutic function, how does the informant find the group dynamics and different roles in the reading group, and finally how does the informant experience the discussion in the reading group. We have used two studies about reading groups, one by Elizabeth Long and one by Jenny Hartley. Our theory is divided into reading and group psychology. We have interviewed seven women belonging to different reading groups.

Syfte och frågeställningarSyftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur barn med överviktigt och fetma upplever skolidrotten jämfört med ett vattengymnastikpass specifikt för just barn med övervikt.Frågeställningar:? Hur upplever barnen aktiviteterna på skolidrotten jämfört med aktiviteterna på vattengymnastiken?? Hur upplever barnen kamraterna i skolan jämfört med kamraterna på vattengymnastiken?? Hur upplever barnen läraren i skolidrotten jämfört med ledaren i vattengymnastiken?? Hur upplever barnen lokalerna i skolan jämfört med lokalerna på vattengymnastiken?MetodFör att besvara frågeställningarna genomfördes en kvalitativ studie med öppna, ostrukturerade intervjuer. Jag vände mig till en vattengymnastikgrupp för barn med övervikt och fetma och frågade om tillstånd att intervjua dem. Fem intervjuer genomfördes varav en inte gav några väsentliga svar alls så den används inte utan klassas som externt bortfall.De övriga fyra intervjuerna skrevs ner, svaren analyserades och användes sedan för att besvara frågeställningarna.ResultatGenerellt så skiljer sig aktiviteterna ganska mycket åt. Informant A och D som går i skolår 1 respektive 2 tycker att aktiviteterna i skolidrotten är roligast medan informant B och C som går i skolår 6 respektive 7 föredrar aktiviteterna på vattengymnastiken.Alla fyra informanterna känner sina klasskamrater bättre och har fler bättre kamrater där som de umgås med på fritiden än i vattengymnastikgruppen.

Uppsatsen fokuserar på informationssökning i sociala nätverk och om vi vet tillräckligt om de resurser som finns i våra nätverk för att det ska kunna kallas socialt kapital. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur medvetna gymnasieelever är om potentiella informationskällor inom ramen för deras sociala nätverk, och vidare om den kunskapen i praktiken möjliggör informationssökning i nätverket. Tre frågeställningar har varit centrala för uppsatsen: (1) Hur långt sträcker sig elevernas kunskap om deras respektive sociala nätverk? (2) Kan de lokalisera potentiella informationskällor? Och slutligen (3) vilka faktorer kan eventuellt hindra användning av nätverket som en informationsresurs? Djupintervjuer med fem gymnasieelever visar att respondenterna generellt ser två till tre steg bort i nätverket. I majoriteten av fallen vet även respondenterna tillräckligt om sina nätverk för att lokalisera potentiella informanter i de situationer som diskuterades.

Integration of the labor is becoming increasingly topical, with increasing immigration. Labour market integration has been proved to be problematic, partly due to linguistic and cultural differences between the migrant's home country and Sweden. Difficulties with labour market integration have resulted in high numbers of unemployment and dependence on social welfare. Projects VIAM is an employment project conducted by Folkhälsobyrån AB in Västerås, aimed at finding jobs for welfare dependency immigrants. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the informants on Folkhälsobyrån and administrators on the Social service in Västerås has experienced the work of the project VIAM, development issues and the informant´s and administrator´s perception of factors that are influencing immigrant´s employment situation in Västerås.

Studiens syfte är att granska bilder, layout och reklam från olika webbplatser och analysera hurdessa bilder kan påverka ungdomar i deras konstruktion av sin identitet. De hemsidor som granskatsvaldes ut genom en informant och valet av informant gjordes genom en enkätundersökning somfokuserade på vilka webbplatser ungdomarna besökt under en vecka. Den valda informanten bleven 15-årig tjej som fyllde i enkäten utförligt och hade besökt många hemsidor som innehöll mångabilder och som var intressanta för studien. Studien av de olika webbplatserna visade att hemsidornahade mestadels neutral layout, men innehåll många bilder med många olika starka budskap. Genomatt spara och dela bilderna via sin egen profil och andra hemsidor ges man som användare möjlighetatt uttrycka och konstruera vem man är och vem man vill vara genom att förknippas med en viss typav bilder.

The purpose of this study was to investigate what attracts children to activity and movement on the playground in a central and municipal preschool in a town located in middle of Sweden. The method was to use a qualitative group interview with five children, two girls and three boys, at the age of five. The interview consisted of a general question about what kids think is fun to do on the playground and was complemented with follow-up questions depending on what the children said. A qualitative interview with a preschool teacher and observations were carried out in the hope that they would confirm what children claimed about play and movement. This study showed a gender difference when girls like to swing together while the boys are making the swinging for a contest.
