The purpose of this essey is through empirical methods investigate usability factors on Video On Demand applications for the Internet. More specificly we will focus on a application called Voddler. The purpose is to identify usability problems that exist in Voddler, and present the reader with suggestions on possible solutions. This could be used as guidelines to how to design for usability in this kind of system. We will use an online survey to investigate Voddler usability and use this data as a basis for our analysis.

According to modern theory, PR is seen as something that creates value for majority of products. The art market is a market that is characterized by several actors in different value chains, where transparency is low and art critics, or PR creators, have a certain amount of impact on the view of art, at least had so historically. But how does PR vs. art galleries´ own marketing (art brochure) affect the view and price consideration of art and artists for non-expert art spectators? After performing a large quantitative study, we can conclude that PR has negative to no affect on the view of art and the artist compared to the case when the spectator did not receive any information prior to viewing an art piece.

The increase in sales of the so called smart phones has meant that there has also been a requirement to determine new applications for which they are suitable. One of the largest platforms for smart phones is Android and the task of this thesis is to develop an application for a company that wishes to create interactive radio for the Internet. In addition to ordinary radio features, the company would like the application to be able to present images and a small web page called Canvas. The overall aim ,of this thesis, is to build a fully functional media player that is compatible with the majority of the commonly used Android based mobile units. To fulfill the overall aim, nine explicit goals were targeted.

Oberoende av yrkesområde kan sjuksköterskor möta patienter i livets slutskede. Huvudmålet med den palliativa vården är att symtomlindra. I de fall då konventionell symtomlindring inte uppnår önskad effekt för patienten kan palliativ sedering bli en möjlig behandlingsform. Som teoretisk referensram används Patricia Benners teori ?från Novis till expert? samt begreppet attityd.

The aim of this study was to illuminate critical factors that facilitate respectively obstruct the novice nurse's development during her first year in the profession. The method used was a systematic literature review according to Goodman's model. The 8 qualitative scientific articles were scrutinized by using a form developed by Pedersen and Sigling (2002). The result shows that cognitive factors, stress, social factors as well as affective factors are critical during the novice nurse's first professional year. The results are related to Antonovsky's concept sense of coherence..

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att med kvalitativ metodik erhålla en fördjupad förståelse för relationen mellan expertis och ledarskap i chefsrollen. Jag har velat identifiera de för- och nackdelar som finns i denna kombination samt identifiera de strategier som finns för att hantera relationen. Detta har studerats genom nio intervjuer i tre naturvetenskapliga kontexter- statligt, akademi och privat. Analys av intervjumaterialet identifierade följande kategorier: Ledarskap- en outforskad terräng för experten, Expertkunskap krävs för ledarskapet, Ledarskapet är expertens karriärväg, Balansen mellan expert och ledare i chefsrollen samt För- och nackdelar med att vara expert och ledare. Resultaten visade att expertchefer förväntas prestera både som experter och ledare.

The purposes of this literature review were to study how nurses use intuition in health care, how these experiences are described by nurses and if you as a nurse can learn how to use your intuition. We also want to make nurses attentive of and give them the courage to use their intuition. The study is addressed to both nurs-ing students and practicing nurses. The method is a literature review based on nine scientific articles. The results implicate that nurses use their intuition to know how to do something, when additional measures needs to be done and which measures they are.

With increasing wine consumption and a growing assortment at available to Swedish consumers, there is an interest in understanding the decision making process of Swedish wine consumers. In this thesis the expert phenomenon is studied with respect to wine through wine critic reliability: grading objectivity, understanding the process of wine criticism and possible critic influence on consumer behavior. Two studies were performed; a qualitative in-depth session of interviews with industry connoisseurs and a quantitative analysis of 589 online wine reviews. Our results indicate that wine reviews are highly subjective and defy prediction through analysis of external variables. Critics are likely to judge differently based on what information they have at hand, suggesting that expectations affect grading.

The aim of this study was to find out if hypertext structure has any relevance for the efficiency of information retrieval. An experiment, in which three variants of hypertext structure were compared, was carried out in the autumn of 1998. Three websites with different structures were constructed for this purpose: a sequential version, a hierarchical version and a webcluster version. 44 subjects, all students at the University of Lund, were randomly divided into three groups. Subjects were requiered to answer a number of questions using one of the three versions.

Bakgrund: Det finns väl rapporterat kunskap och teoribildningar om sjuksköterskans övergång från utbildningen till det praktiska yrkesutövandet. Den kunskap som saknas är bland annat hur den nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskan upplever sina förmågor i praxis, särskilt i relation till god vård och omvårdnad. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att belysa den nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskans upplevelser av sin kunskap i relation till kraven på säker vård och omvårdnad. Metod: Studien genomfördes som litteraturöversikt som bygger på nio vetenskapliga artiklar. Analysmetoden var deduktiv innehållsanalys (template analysis; Malterud,1998).

This thesis describes the evaluation of a prototype (Illustrator) for future simulator training of Within Visual Range - combat in the Swedish Air Force. The main focus was to collect and transform user acceptance data (expert opinions) to useful guidelines for continued development. Thirteen active fighter pilots participated in the study. The aim was to use expert opinion to study a) the psychological user acceptance, and b) the technical user acceptance, of the Illustrator together with c) gathering opinions for future improvement. Three psychological aspects were rated before and after the sessions to measure psychological user acceptance.

Vem påverkar oss mest?Nivå: C-uppsats inom företagetsekonomiFörfattare: Mattias Strömberg Bennermo & Johan Öhlund SvenssonHandledare: Akmal HyderDatum: 2015-06-05Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att jämföra expert- och konsumentrecensioner för att se vad som påverkar konsumenten mest inför ett köpbeslut av search goods. För att jämföra dessa har vi valt ut tre variabler för att kunna identifiera likheter och skillnader. Dessa är tillgänglighet, användbarhet och pålitlighet.Metod: För denna studie har vi använt oss av en kvantitativ metod och en surveydesign. Vi har genomfört en enkätundersökning där vi har ställt frågor med bakgrund i vår teori som i sin tur har byggt på vår forskningsfråga och syfte.

Jag har gjort en kvantitativ studie av hur könsfördelningen mellan experter ser ut i tryckt press. Studiens syfte har varit att undersöka om det finns en jämn könsfördelning mellan de oberoende experter som uttalar sig i medier idag. Jag har undersökt kvällstidningen Aftonbladet och morgontidningen Svenska dagbladet, för att jämföra om könsfördelningen mellan experter skiljer sig mellan kvällspress och morgonpress. Båda tidningarna har granskats under en verklig vecka 2012 och under samma vecka 1992. Det för att undersöka om könsfördelningen mellan experterna har förändrats under de senaste 20 åren.Totalt omfattar undersökningen 195 experter som analyserats med hjälp av sju olika variabler.
