Syftet med denna studie är att få en grundläggande kunskap kring begreppet bring your own device. Eftersom ämnet är väldigt nytt och att det finns en viss okunnighet kring begreppet är det intressant att ta reda på varför BYOD är en uppgående trend, hur svenska verksamheter tänker inför tillåtandet, vilka krav som ställs och vilka problem som följer. För att komma fram till dessa slutsatser har intervjuer genomförts på tre olika verksamheter. Varav en verksamhet har tagit sig an BYOD och de andra två planerar inför tillåtandet av BYOD. Det har även genomförts intervjuer på både unga studenter, unga i arbetslivet samt en jurist för att få en tydligare bild av företeelsen.

This work is based on qualitative interviews with four educationists who before their university studies lack education in their own field of work. The study aims to explore how higher learning influenced and affected these people. As a theoretical point of view the concept of implicit learning and Aristotle?s epistemological approach was used. The study gives an idea that the concept of knowledge is advanced and can go from practical experience to more theoretical understandings.

The number of young people that graduate from upper secondary education has decreased while a growing number of young people are in an outside position in the sense that they neither work or study or have any other known occupation. In addition to this the labour market has gone trough changes, which has brought difficulties for some groups to establish themselves on to the labour market. One of the groups that have been affected by this is the young people. As an answer to the increasing number of young people in an outside position, a new law was introduced on the 1st of July 2005. The law is called (kommunala uppföljningsansvaret) and it stands for the municipality's responsibility to follow up on young people between the age of 16-19 years that is not enrolled in any upper secondary school and that does not have any other known occupation.The purpose of this essay has been to examine how the responsible administrations in Helsingborgs municipality view their responsibility to follow up young people between the ages of 16-19 years and the practical application of the law, and also if they can see any risks with not following up on young people in that age span.

The ISO standard ISO/IEC 17799/SS-627799-2 is a guidance for organizations to realize their information security goals. In spite of this standard, studies show flaws regarding information security in organizations. In particular flaws regarding overall view, knowledge and clear roles and responsibilities have been observed. The ISIT (Information Security Integrated Three level) model and its guidelines, developed in this thesis, help organizations to identify the required processes and procedures as well as the logical process flow. The thesis is based on theoretical studies and a case study within a multinational company.

Vårt syfte med det här arbetet var att undersöka hur förskolebarn agerar när de ställs inför två matematiska problem innehållande division/delning. Vilka lösningsstrategier använder de för att lösa givna problem? Vi valde att genomföra en fallstudie på den förskola där vi alla tre arbetar, och metoden vi använde oss av var deltagande observation, samt videofilmning. I studien ingick nio stycken femåringar. När vi transkriberade videoinspelningen såg vi att barnen använde sig av de olika lösningsstrategierna som vi tog upp i den teoretiska bakgrunden, i olika utsträckning.

För att identifiera och klassificera problem relaterade till användbarhet i mjukvarubaserade produkter används metoder speciellt utformade för detta ändamål. En av dessa metoder är Heuristisk utvärdering, men kritik har framförts mot denna metod och dess förmåga att klassificera användbarhetsproblem. I detta arbete jämförs Heuristisk utvärdering med en annan metod, i ett försök att utreda om kritiken är korrekt. Denna metod är Usability Problem Taxonomy, en metod skapad för att klassificera samt analysera användbarhetsproblem. Syftet med denna jämförelse är att ta fasta på vilken av metoderna som är lämpligast att använda vid klassificering av användbarhetsproblem, något som bedöms genom att undersöka metoderna och deras förmåga att noggrant klassificera användbarhetsproblem.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan de fem personlighetsdimensionerna; neuroticism, extraversion, öppenhet, sympatiskhet och samvetsgrannhet, och om de kan predicera vuxnas alkoholkonsumtion och alkoholrelaterade problem i ett svenskt urval. En webbenkät skickades till ett urval av anställda inom socialförvaltningen i Stockholms Län. Resultaten tyder på ett negativt samband mellan öppenhet och frekvensen av högkonsumtion av alkohol samt alkoholrelaterade problem. De indikerar vidare ett positivt samband mellan extraversion och kvantiteten av alkoholkonsumtionen vid ett typiskt tillfälle man dricker alkohol samt frekvensen av högkonsumtion av alkohol..

Det här är en uppsats om svenskt jämställdhetsarbete. Under lång tid har Sverige haft en familjepolitik med höga mål. Ett av de viktigaste målen idag handlar om jämställdhet mellan män och kvinnor. Uppsatsens syfte är att med hjälp av Mills problemuppdelning i allmänna problem och personliga bekymmer analysera föräldraförsäkringens roll för ett jämställt Sverige och huruvida föräldraförsäkringen kan leda till ökad jämställdhet.Vi har använt oss av Tillys teori om kategoriell ojämlikhet, Elias teori om etablerade och outsiders, Giddens struktureringsteori och Mills allmänna problem och personliga bekymmer. Vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ textanalys av lagen om föräldraledighet, tidigare forskning och statistik.Resultatet vi har kommit fram till är att föräldraförsäkringen är ett medel för att lösa ett allmänt problem, men att brister i dess utformning skapar personliga bekymmer hos föräldrarna.

This report is a thesis on requests from Sandvik Mining and Construction (SMC) in autumn of 2012. The goal of this work was to study the feasibility of creating and implementing an Equalized preventive maintenance program in SMC maintenance operations and reduce downtime for preventive maintenance (PM). To investigate whether this was possible, the authors studied the current procedures for the PM. The authors have collected and analyzed all relevant information within the maintenance department reporting system as well as through interviews determined whether it is practical to introduce a Equalized PM programs. The authors had also studied the possibilities to entrust part of the maintenance work to the operators of the machine cells.

Human-computer interaction is central for computer assisted development.

Six subjects, frequently using the system, participated in the study. It was shown that the new (U2) compared to the old system (U1) enhanced and supported more the users? system related procedures/tasks.

The thesis is based on a case study of a Swedish discussion forum where survivalism and prepping is the main focus. The awareness of an abrupt and immanent breakdown together with a full and thorough preparation for any conceivable threat posed by that breakdown is what legitimizes survivalism and prepping. This preparation, or risk-proofing is 1) grounded in an isolation of the body and its predispositions from perceived risks, and 2) actualized through artefacts, theoretical and practical knowledge and awareness. Stories of the embodied survivalist are also stories of masculine and heterosexual subjects and ?the others?.

Social media, such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, have become popular platforms for social communication, and, increasingly, also important channels for business marketing.
