Printed newspapers are on the decline, while digital versions are in rapid growth. Consequently the industry must draw up new business models around the digital format - models that can produce revenue streams equivalent to those that the print format used to produce. However, after a decade of 'free' online news, consumers now hesitate to pay. In their struggle for survival, strategic pricing is a central issue for newspapers. This study aims at describing how Swedish newspapers price their digital content, by analyzing their pricing processes and five factors that may influence the choice of paywall and price levels.

Avsikten med denna studie har varit att kartlägga hur tre svenska tidskrifter riktade till unga kvinnor använder bloggen, dels på hemsidan och dels i den tryckta upplagan. Studien har även syftat till att urskilja om det finns ett samarbete mellan dessa medier och hur detta i så fall tar sig uttryck. Vidare har jag med denna studie velat klargöra vilka skillnader och likheter det finns gällande detta användande de tre tidskrifterna emellan och även tydliggöra hur de redaktionellt skrivna bloggarna används.Denna uppsats har således varit avgränsad till tre av de största tidskrifterna riktade till unga kvinnor i Sverige; ELLE, SOLO och VeckoRevyn. Samtliga tre använder bloggar på hemsidan, har en liknande målgrupp och ligger i ungefär samma prisklass.Studiens referensram tar ett avstamp i Public Relations där det tittas närmare på Co-Creational Perspective och Excellence Theory. Eftersom bloggen är en produkt på Internet, ligger fokus sedan på Public Relations på Internet, även kallat e-PR och Online Public Relations.

In this paper we have examined why seniors do not use e-business to the same extent as other age groups. Seniors belong to the age group that, according to statistics from Statistics Sweden (SCB) in 2011, utilizes e-business the least in relation to the number who use the internet. To understand how seniors reason and perceive the possibility to shop on the internet, we have conducted four interviews with people from 65 years and older. We have let the respondents answer questions regarding utility aspects, e-business interfaces, general shopping habits, risks, and whether or not they usually shop online. We also found out how seniors reason when they sell products and services.

This paper reports a study on the usability of e-commerce accessed through smartphones. There is much research in the usability of mobile interfaces and many sets of design patterns have been created but a few studies are available for specific domains, and in this report we focus on mobile e-commerce. In this study a framework is developed for how to design mobile e-commerce interfaces with a high degree of usability. Furthermore, the study also contributes a method to how other specific domain can develop a framework with general standards to work from when creating a web interface. By examining two sets of design principles and 14 design patterns, we evaluate which ones are critical in the design of a mobile e-commerce interface for achieving a high degree of usability.

Flashspel är en väldigt populär form av ledigt spelande, men det finns fortfarande spelformer som är outforskade. Vi bestämde oss för att göra det ingen utvecklare hittills lyckats med, det vill säga att skapa ett så kallat ?Massively Multiplayer Online Flash Game?.

Vi lever idag våra liv allt mer på Internet och hela tiden överförs bara mer och mer från den fysiska världen till att genomföras online. Men vad händer när brottsligheten hakar på samma fenomen och bevisen endast är digitala, kan publikationer från exempelvis Facebook användas som bevis vid en rättegång? För att klarlägga hur det ser ut i Sverige idag har tre IT-forensiker och en Internetspanare hos Polisen intervjuats för att få svar på de tekniska frågorna, samt en jurist och en åklagare för att få svar på de juridiska. Det visade sig finnas stor potential för användandet av sociala medier som bevis i rättegång men det finns även en stor problematik gällande just digitala bevis. Det är avsaknaden av spårbarhet som ger upphov till denna problematik, till exempel är det otroligt svårt att påvisa vem som skrivit eller gjort vad bakom datorskärmen.

The aim of this study is to examine the fiction promoting role of public librarians through their fiction displays. The study covers three problems: What reasons do public librarians give for their selection of displayed fiction? How do public librarians view fiction displays in relation to other promotion strategies?

The concepts used are promotion due to public demand, actively recommending and informative promotion, and through dialogue. To account for the problems investigated in the study, eight librarians have been questioned through semi-structured interviews.

Public libraries have an important roll of making information accessible to all people. This democratic right supports the cultural development in our society. When public libraries build websites offering information and services it can sometimes cause obstacles for impaired users.

This thesis is based on theories of cognitive and human computer interaction, and information architecture.

The music industry has been subject to great changes during the last ten years. The most significant factor contributing to this change is the increasing usage of broadband and thereby the increasing frequency of downloading music illegally. Music piracy and file sharing have caused record sales to plummet. Consumers have now moved on to consuming music in a digital format, not only through downloading but also from streaming music online, an activity partly made possible by social media channels such as YouTube. As the consumption patterns have changed companies within the music industry have been forced to find other sources of income than record sales and they have also needed to find alternate ways to market their artists.

Sammanfattning I denna uppsats presenteras en kvalitativ studie som syftar till att undersöka invandrarungdomars identitetskonstruktion och hur ungdomar som växer upp med inflytande av två kulturer själv beskriver känslan av tillhörighet i förhållande till sitt tidigare hemland respektive Sverige. Problemformuleringen syftar till att besvara frågor om hur ungdomarna ser på sin identitet och hur det formas i kulturmötet? Vidare undersöker vi var ungdomarna har sin tillhörighet och vad det beror på? Vi genomförde fem intervjuer med invandrarungdomar i åldrarna 22-26 år. Gemensamt för dessa intervjupersoner är att de alla kom till Sverige i en tidig ålder. Resultaten från vår studie visar att samtliga intervjupersoner har utvecklat en tillhörighetskänsla till både Sverige och till sitt ursprungsland.
