Nätkränkningar är ett växande problematiskt fenomen i dagens samhälle. Många ungdomar upplever att de blir kränkta på sociala medier, både av bekanta och icke bekanta personer. Studien syftar till att lyfta fram hur motstridiga normer kan tänkas ha en inverkan på ungdomars resonemang kring nätkränkningar och bygger på fem fokusgruppintervjuer med ungdomar. Resultatet visar att ungdomarna anser att alla har valfrihet kring vilka selfies de publicerar på sociala medier, samtidigt som de som utsatts för nätkränkningar ibland får skylla sig själva. Friheten som ungdomarna anser att alla har rätt till är inte alltid på lika villkor eller förbehållslös, det tycks finnas olika normer för olika personer, bland annat killar och tjejer.

Web services are now a day often mentioned when speaking of systems communicating with each other online. This master thesis describes how we, with a grounded theory, developed a web service from scratch and then used it to describe how to develop a method for this case scenario. The purpose of the web service is to simplify the information exchange between Infra Gaming, which is the company who assigned this project to us, and their customers.

Purpose of the essay: The purpose of the essay is to, from the view of the nurses working at the x-ray infirmary; see how the internal e-mail communication is working as the main digital communication method at the x-ray infirmary.Material/Method: The material has been collected using qualitative interviews with eight nurses working at the x-ray infirmary. The material has then been analyzed through a theoretical perspective based on The Media Richness theory.Main results: The results of the investigation have shown that the nurses see the internal e-mail communication as relatively poor.

Explosionen av sociala medier har lett till ökad användning av dessa kanaler vid marknadsföring av produkter och varumärken. På dagens konkurrensutsatta marknad menar vissa forskare att varumärken, både personliga- och företagsvarumärken, är de mest unika differentierande egenskaperna hos företag. Att bygga och hålla ett varumärke starkt är dock en utmaning, särskilt när social media används som den främsta marknadsföringskanalen. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka huruvida det går att överföra personliga varumärken via sociala medier för att bygga ett företagsvarumärke. Studien utgår från ett företagsperspektiv och datainsamlingen har skett genom en intervju med en nyckelperson på e-handelsföretaget byPM.se.
