Virtual Communities is an increasingly common phenomenon on the Internet. Most of the Virtual Communities are operated and maintained on a non-profit basis with a direction towards entertainment. However, as more state administrated and commercial services become web-based, we believe that the number of Virtual Communities with a community-based or commercial direction will increase in a near future. In this thesis, we describe our participation in, and studies of, a number of Virtual Communities with focus on the IRC-channel ?3dfxsweden?.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether personality traits, self-esteem, performance-based self-esteem and demographic data relate to, and can explain the variation in psychological ill-health among students at Lund University. A questionnaire was distributed to students attending the Psychology program, Bio-technology program, Theologian program and Law program. There were 247 respondents to the questionnaire, mainly attending their second or third semester. General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), Rosenberg's Self- Esteem scale, Hallstens scale measuring performance-based self-esteem, questions relating to demographic data and a short version of the personality inventory scale Big Five were included in the questionnaire. Positive correlations were found between psychological ill-health and the variables neuroticism and performance-based self-esteem.

Året 1995 ändrades reglerna i föräldrabalken som reglerar förmyndarskap för barn. Genom ändringen så tillfaller automatiskt, om inget annat sägs, förmyndarskapet till vårdnadshavaren. Detta innebär att vårdnadshavarens ställning stärktes genom att exempelvis alla barnets konton skall vara tillgängliga för vårdnadshavaren. Men i vissa fall, bland annat om barnet skall skuldsättas, så skall överförmyndaren kontaktas. Syftet med denna framställning var att utreda rättsläget i föräldrabalken och utsökningsbalken med hjälp av traditionell juridisk metod. I slutdiskussionen kommer jag att belysa ämnet utifrån olika aspekter för att sedan komma med egna idéer och förslag till ändring i dagens gällanderätt. En huvudtanke bakom ändringarna i föräldrabalken var att vårdnadshavaren vill barnet sitt bästa.

More specifically its aim was to find out how the pupils themselves discribe their physical environment, the reasons why there are scribble and damage at their school and how they are treated by the adults at the school bearing in mind the scribble and damage that occur. The study took place at one high-school in the southern of Sweden and the methods used were six qualitative interviewes, a minor inquiry in six classes, fotographing the physical environment and putting up scribble boards on the pupils' toilets. The physcial environment was quite bare and monoton and the pupils often felt bored by it. There were few places where the pupils liked being at.

Omhändertagande och avlivning av djur beror på många olika orsaker, det kan handla om djurplågeri, ägaren har avlidit/saknas eller att ett djur har blivit påkört och skadat.

Samtidigt som relationsmarknadsföringen breder ut sig på den fysiska marknaden, ökar handeln via Internet igen efter den stora IT-kraschen i början av 2000-talet. Många butiker som finns på den fysiska marknaden har etablerat sig på Internet och med dessa även de medföljande kundklubbarna. Utöver dessa butiker är det en majoritet av de virtuella återförsäljarna som enbart kan nås via webben. Med unika möjligheter att samla in kunddata samt smidiga och billiga sätt att nå ut till konsumenterna, har dessa butiker alla förutsättningar för att med rätt kommunikationsmedel inleda och förstärka relationen till konsumenten. Detta innebär att webbutikerna har möjlighet att föra register över samtliga kunder (till skillnad från de fysiska butikerna som enbart specifikt kan registrera kundklubbmedlemmarnas transaktioner) och därmed har tillgång till samma informativa segmenteringsbas som en renodlad kundklubb bidrar med.
