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.

This study examines the cultural place and status of video and computer games in the Swedish public library. Using works on popular culture and the theories of Pierre Bourdieu, this study employs quantitative methods, as well as textual analysis, to analyze the results of an online questionnaire with 19 questions focusing on selection criteria, shelf placement, perceived competence, as well as reasoning for having or not having these games in the library. 286 out of the 440 libraries contacted is participating in the study, and the libraries consist exclusively of public libraries in Sweden that are found in the database of the Royal Library.The results of this study show that a larger number of libraries than previously indicated have started to provide electronic games to their patrons. At the same time, patterns in the data and comments suggests that these games in many cases still do not enjoy the same level of cultural recognition as other media. Indicative of this is the way most libraries seem to focus on the medium being exclusively for their young patrons, with seem-ingly very little in the way of investment for adults.

Genom att studera relationen mellan upplevt psykologiskt arbetsklimat och anställdas användande av sociala media i arbetet söktes stöd för studiens huvudsyfte: om anställda använder sig av sociala media i arbetet om arbetsklimatet inte upplevs som positivt, samt om sociala media används, hur anställda då uppfattar sociala media som hjälp och stöd i arbetet. Genom en webbaserad enkät samlades data in från deltagarna (N = 27), vilka härrörde från tre IT-avdelningar i en kommunal organisation i Mellansverige. Analyser av ackumulerad data skedde till övervägande del genom Spearmans korrelationstest och Mann-Whitney U-test. Resultatet indikerade stöd för två av studiens tre hypoteser vad gäller samband mellan upplevelse av psykologiskt arbetsklimat och användande av sociala media, samt skillnader mellan anställdas upplevelse av relationer till kollegor offline och användande av sociala media. Däremot hittades inga signifikanta skillnader för hur anställda, beroende på hur de ser på kunskap, tar stöd från relationer online och offline..

Marketing has been developed and revalued the last years. The consumer today is moreeducated and is therefore able to have higher demands. These requirements together with theincreased competition is forcing brands to find creative ways to reach their target market.Fashion has throughout history contributed to, and been influenced by, changes in society.Through all times, people have used fashion and clothing as a way to demonstrate their socialidentity and to be accepted. Companies in the fashion industry can be successful if theydevelop brands that attract consumers. To achieve this, companies must find newcommunication tools to reach out to the consumer, among these tools, we find the fashioneditorials.Our aim is to investigate whether product placement occurs in Swedish fashion editorials.Through our thesis we want to explore how consumers perceive the editorials and alsowhether if they are used as a marketing channel.The method is qualitative and the study is based on semi structured interviews and a focusgroup interview.

IntroductionStatistics show a declining trend despite the many benefits of breastfeeding.AimThe aim was to investigate how new mothers experienced the care associated with childbirth, with focus on breastfeeding.MethodThe study included mothers who gave birth in a hospital in the middle region of Sweden during 2011, and who responded to an online survey (n?1000). The present study was based upon answers from the open questions concerning dissatisfaction and suggestions for improvement and have been categorized using content analysis.ResultsMothers described failure in several areas, with a negative impact on breastfeeding. Many experienced that they had not been seen and treated like an individual, and that the healthcare staff had been unpleasant, impersonal, ignorant and stressed. Mothers wanted more credit from the staff concerning their own ability and some reported that they had been controlled and ?run over?.

Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att beskriva vad det kunde finnas för faktorer som påverkade genomförandet av ett samtal med patienter ur ett tvärkulturellt perspektiv. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en litteraturöversikt. Artiklar söktes ur databaserna: PubMed, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Wiley online library samt Science Direct. Resultat: Resultatet visade på att kommunikation i det tvärkulturella mötet var beroende av en kulturell kompetens hos hälso- och sjukvårdspersonalen. Vidare visade resultatet på brister i hälso- och sjukvårdspersonalens kulturella kompetens, samt att det i sjuksköterskeutbildningen saknades specifik utbildning inom kulturell kompetens.

This thesis aims to answer the following questions: What type of vocabulary is used in the humanities? What does this implicate when it comes to indexing in the humanities? How do humanities scholars seek information and what type of information do they need? What consequences does this have when it comes to the development of humanities databases? How is the MLA International Bibliography organized? How does its indexing system ? CIFT ? work? How does the MLA International Bibliography correspond with the needs of the humanities scholar? The study shows that the type of vocabulary used in the humanities differs significantly from that used in the sciences. Therefore, information retrieval is often said to be problematic in the humanities when compared to the sciences. This is, however, not completely true. If consideration is taken to the different type of vocabulary used in the humanities, subject access proves to be more straightforward than has been generally recognized.

Because social media is personal and reaches users directly, it has become an important means of communication for companies trying to reach out to their audience (Nygren & Wadbring, 2013). Especially the possibility of interactivity has been discussed as social media's big advantage. But how much two-way communication is actually possible on social media? This is a quantitative study that focuses on how Swedish Facebook users in the ages of 16-25 interact with companies on the social network. The aim was to contribute with increased information and knowledge about how the users mentioned above interact with the companies as well as how the users perceive the companies communication and presence on Facebook.

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.

Consumers today leave a fragment of information when they pay with their debit and credit cards. The aim of our work is to investigate ways to design a concept of a system in which digitally stored information that today is fragmented among several different holders, can be assembled into a system and made available to consumers. In our study of how a system for financial flow of information should be designed, we intend to study the present situation and the attempts made to alter it into a more informative reality. We intend to investigate the flow of information when a consumer pays by card, and the possible solutions regarding the design and transportation of digital receipts. A majority of the information of our digital consumption is today handled digitally.

This research intends to study the media's representation of unaccompanied refugee children on the basis that the media has a power in the construction of society. The focus is on whether children's vulnerability and needs are presented in the media and whether the children?s voices are heard. It is also of interest to study the agents that speak in the media concerning unaccompanied refugee children. The study is based on a theory that social reality is a construction of interaction between individuals and groups. Furthermore the study also incorporate the idea that the media, through its control of language, has power to create discourses which may affect the way different groups in society are looked upon.

The purpose of this graduate work is to seek knowledge about how children?s right to participation and influence is interpreted and understood in a specific context and also to examine how this right can be conditioned and shaped by the pedagogical practice of early childhood education.The focus of this study has been to examine the arguments and attitudes towards the right to participation and influence as a pedagogical practice as it is understood in early childhood education. Additionally, I have been interested in studying the affordances and restrictions that early childhood educators experience when dealing with children´s right to participation and influence.The platform used for data collection is Facebook and the informants recruited were active participants in forums regarding democracy in preschool education. In the second phase of the study I conducted online focus groups with these participants.For the analysis of the material I have adopted a poststructuralist perspective, starting from Jaques Derridas philosophical texts and use of deconstruction.The results show the complexity in early childhood education´s democratic mission. What becomes clear is the importance for the teachers to adopting an open, ethical and democratic approach in order to make children´s right to participation and genuine influence possible in the everyday reality of early childhood education. .

The purpose of this study is to examine if digital public libraries are serendipitous environments. Serendipity in this instance is defined as finding something unexpected and valuable, while searching for something else.A survey was conducted at two Swedish digital public libraries, where the patrons were asked to fill in a questionnaire online. The questions were based on the work on serendipitous digital environments by Lori McCay-Peet, as well as considerations of human factors that could possibly influence serendipity.The result indicate that a majority of patrons experience serendipity at the digital library, although it?s still more common to do so at the physical library or on other web sites. The result also confirms the importance of taking human factors into account when studying serendipity.

Studies have shown that user participation is a good method when improving or developing a product. The method gives a company insight in what the customer wants and needs. It has also been shown that user participation benefits all parts included. For example, it creates a greater relationship with customers than most other methods do. Webportals is one of the most interactive systems online and it gives companies a unique chance to improve and maintain their relationship with customers.

Det finns många företag som väljer att använda internet som marknadsplats, där de kan sälja allt online. Det kan vara vissa företag som tror att det räcker med att webbplatserna finns uppe på nätet och fungerar vilket det inte gör. Det är viktigt att e-handelsplatserna är användbara, annars kan kunderna lämna webbplatsen utan att handla varor.Det finns vissa regler för att kunna bygga en användbar e-handelsplats. För att kunna förbättra användbarheten på e-handelsplatser har jag valt att göra en undersökning på vissa flyghemsidor och se om de följer de regler som finns under teoretiska referensramen i denna studie. För att kunna göra denna undersökning har jag fått hjälp ut av åtta testdeltagare.
