Idag förknippar många Internet med frihet. En frihet som öppnar möjligheter till en mer obegränsad tillvaro. Men med frihet kommer alltid ett ansvar vilket många gånger förbises. Internet har blivit en guldkalv för dem som tillhandahåller naturliga och legala droger. Droger som i sin verkan och effekt många gånger liknar narkotikans, men som faller utanför lagstiftningens rekvisit.

Focus of this study was on the underlying values behind consumers buying motives at the point of purchase of meat products in Sweden. Meat consumption in Sweden has increased and in 2012, almost 50% of all meat consumed was imported (SJV, 2013). This is the case despite of the fact that consumers frequently state the importance of Swedish country of origin on the meat products they purchase (www, LRF, 2, 2006). A rising public awareness about health, environmental issues, animal welfare and food safety coupled to meat consumption and meat production is scrutinized both from media and consumers. Due to rising concerns of production-methods of meat, consumers wants to make informed purchasing decisions of the meat they purchase (BEUC, 2013).

Bakgrund: Idag spelar internet en stor roll i att söka kunskap och komma i kontakt med likasinnade under en graviditet. Informationen finns tillgänglig dygnet runt och kan tillgås var som helst. Informationen ger kvinnorna en känsla av kontroll och självförtroende och den hjälper dem att ta beslut rörande deras graviditet. Den stora mängden information kan vara överväldigande och orsaka stress och oro. Kvinnorna önskar vägledning till internetsidor av hög kvalitet samt att diskutera informationen de hittar med sin barnmorska.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att kartlägga hur kvinnor använder internet som informationskälla under sin graviditet och hur det påverkar dem.

The purpose of this Masters thesis is to investigate the role of link collections in Swedish public libraries mediation of Internet resources. The study is focusing on the effects on the contents and the structure in the link collections when the target group is immigrant users. This is done through literature studies completed with an examination of two link collections containing multi-cultural and multi-lingual material and qualitative interviews with the two librarians who are in charge of the collections. The major questions raised in this study are: What function do the link collections have for the public libraries? What is the difference in working with traditional, printed material compared to the work with Internet resources? And how are the selection of Internet resources and the structure of the link collections affected when the collection is intended for immigrant users? The main results are that link collections in public libraries can give a concrete form to political guidelines.

The species in the genus bumblebees (Bombus) are important pollinators. In the world there are 250 bumblebee species and there are 34 species in Norway. The purpose of this study is 1) to assess changes in the species composition of bumblebees in twenty different places in Norway that have been inventoried first one time between 1939-1960 and the second time in 2012, and 2) to relate species richness and distributions to current landscape composition with the aid of orthophotos. In this study, I have used regression analyzes on the different bumblebee species that were present or absent at the inventory, using the premises of the following variables: low or high altitude, latitude, longitude and seven different types of land use (farmland, building/plots, open land/pasture, forest, wetland and open or snow-covered ground above the tree line) to see if there was any relationship between each species and the different variables. I have not analyzed what the landscape looked like at the first inventories and therefore we cannot say whether it has changed and if that is why species number has decreased. This would be interesting to study further and to see if there is any relationship between landscape changes and bumblebee?s species decline.

Bakgrund: Dagens ungdomar utgör den första generation som växer upp med den nya digitala tekniken och den kan ses som integrerad del av deras liv. Studier har visat att ungdomar uppskattar tillgång till hälsoinformation via Internet som annars kan kännas pinsamt att fråga efter personligen. De uppskattar även möjligheter att möta och utveckla relationer med andra människor via Internet. Ungdomar ställs inför olika utmaningar i övergången från barndom till vuxen ålder och psykiska och psykosociala problem ökar bland åldersgruppen i Sverige liksom i andra europeiska länder. För att utveckla Internet som en möjlig källa till hälsoinformation och socialtstöd är det viktigt att få information om ungdomars egna synpunkter och önskemål.Syftet med studien är att fördjupa kunskapen om ungdomars inställning till Internets roll i främjandet av hälsa och välbefinnande.Metod: Fokusgruppdiskussioner genomfördes i sex grupper om totalt 26 ungdomar, 16-20 år och datamaterialet analyserades enligt modifierad grounded theory.

Detta arbete handlar om synlighet på internet, främst för mindre företag. De metoder som fokuserats på är sökmotoroptimering (SEO) och marknadsföring i sociala medier (SMM). Arbetet har främst syftat till att kartlägga de aktuella råd som ges angående vad som gör en hemsida mer synlig. Därefter har dessa i en mycket lite skala testats på en webbsida som jag har fått i uppdrag att göra om, för att se om de ger något resultat. I rapporten finns en sammanställning av de mest populära och rekommenderade sätten att göra SEO och SMM. Testerna som genomförts har gett positiva resultat, trots att testtiden var begränsad..

Sverige är ett av de främsta länderna inom e-handel. Över 70 procent av Sveriges befolkning handlar varor från internet. Trots det har e-handeln av livsmedel inte haft samma tillväxt som andra varukategorier. Det är först runt 2008 som företag helt börjat inrikta livsmedelsförsäljning från internet till privatpersoner. En övergång till e-handel med livsmedel kan få positiva miljöeffekter om det leder till minskat bilåkande.
