This study is a statistical content analysis, of masters? theses written in 2005 at the Swedish School of Library and Information Studies in Borås. The relations between their epistemological discourses, theories, methods, themes and chosen alignment within the education, the so-called ?kollegium?/college, are examined. The results are put in relation to the concepts multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity to see what kind of discipline Library and Information Science (LIS) can be described as, on the basis of this material.

AbstractAbout 160 000 persons living inSwedensuffer from some form of dementia. Alzheimer disease is the most common form of dementia and affects mostly people in the age of 65 and older. People with some form of dementia have memory problems and may even have other problems as aphasia and behavioral disorders. This may lead to communication problems and difficulties for the people around them. The number of demented people is increasing; it is therefore important to study methods for communication in order to improve the wellbeing for people with dementia.

Separation av ko och kalv är idag en omdiskuterad fråga inom svensk mjölkproduktion, såväl konventionell som ekologisk. Meningarna går isär om vid vilken ålder kalven bör separeras från kon ? omedelbart efter födseln eller först efter råmjölksperioden då kalven är 3-4 dagar gammal. Hos våra domesticerade nötkreatur är ko-kalv-separationen ofta abrupt och sker mycket tidigare än den skulle göra naturligt. I naturen är avvänjningen en process över flera månader där kon gradvis minskar digivningsfrekvens och mjölkmängd till den slutliga avvänjningsåldern på 8-11 månader.

Domesticerade djur separeras ofta abrupt från sin mamma efter födseln och ofta mycket tidigare än när den naturliga avvänjningen skulle ske. Naturligt sker avvänjning hos nötkreatur mellan 7 och 14 månader. De mjölkproducerande djuren separeras dock från sina ungar direkt efter födseln på de flesta gårdar i Europa och Nordamerika. Detta påverkar både ko och kalv. Förutom att de separeras från varandra innebär ofta separationen ytterligare stressfaktorer som nya fysiska miljöer och sociala förändringar. Kor som separeras från sina kalvar efter 4 dagar vokaliserar mer än kor vars kalvar är yngre vid separationen.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka vad personal på HVB-hemmet i Lagan gör för ensamkommande flyktingbarn, vilka känslor de ställs inför samt hur känslorna hanteras. Vi genomförde en kvalitativ studie där resultaten bygger på intervjuer och en observation. Personalen arbetar med att socialisera in ungdomarna i samhället. De finns till som stöd och försöker ge dem en meningsfull vardag genom att exempelvis uppmuntra ungdomarna till deltagande i fritidsaktiviteter.Personalen påverkas emotionellt av sitt arbete. De upplever främst glädje men det förekommer situationer där även frustration, oro eller otillräcklighet kan uppstå.

The purpose of this paper is to describe methods to computerize a library and to compare theory with a process in a school library. The case study is based on a school library called Sunnerbogymnasiet which is situated in Ljungby. My questions are;- Which methods are parts of the process to computerize a library?- Which methods are used in the process in Sunnerbogymnasiet?- What does the practical process look like compared to the methods described in theory?In the paper I present the methods in the process according to the studied literature and compare these with a process at Sunnerbogymnasiet. The most significant result is that cooperation between the school library and the community library was the most important reason for the choice of library computer system.

As changes occur more frequently in IT- and software development, it is important for the companies to meet the demands and needs of its customer. The companies have to be able to adapt themselves continuously in order till fulfill its customers changing needs in an effective way, which results in big changes of the companies? structures. The more traditional way of working is often replaced with more alternative approaches as a response to the reputable deficiencies of its predecessors. As an effect of the rapid change and development some companies now see big potential in switching to more Agile and flexible methods and some companies have no choice but to change their way of working.

This paper is a literature study on search engine optimization (SEO) considering the leader of the search engine market: Google. There´s an introductory background description of Google and its methods of  crawling the Internet and indexing the web pages, along with a brief review of the famous PageRank algorithm. The purpose of this paper is to describe the major important methods for improved rankings on Google´s result lists. These methods could be categorized as on-page methods tied to the website to be optimized or off-page methods that are external to the website such as link development. Furthermore the most common unethical methods are described, known as ?black hat?, which is the secondary purpose of the text.

Aim: To examine how midwives describe good and safe postpartum care of mothers with infants in neonatal care, and which prerequisites and obstacles they see to giving good and safe care while minimizing time of separation. Method: Semi structured qualitative interviews with ten midwives at two maternity wards in Uppsala. The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim and processed by manifest analysis. Results: Three categories were identified, Good and safe care, Organization as an obstacle and The midwife role. Good and safe postpartum care of mothers with infants in neonatal care required knowledge, appropriate equipment, good guidelines, possibility to see the mother, contact between mother and infant and good collaboration between the maternity and neonatal wards.

Within all industries, there is a change in working time required; this also includes the construction sector. However, the way construction sectors are differentiated is by not having been given the opportunity to be practiced or tested.  The aim of this thesis that we have done in collaboration with the Concrete Industry was to investigate the possibility of developing an automated method for quality assurance of SKB at the site. The idea is to make the O-funnel to be more utilized and therefore ensuring that the appropriate concrete quality is provided which eventually would lead to a better development in the production process.The project has involved theoretical work and laboratory experiments. The theoretical work gave us a good foundation at the beginning of the project. After gathering the information and material, the laboratory experiments began by SCC in their laboratory in Hammarby. The collected data from the various laboratory tests formed the foundation for trying to relate measurements for consistency of SCC with each other and therefore find out how measurements from O-funnel varies with different concrete mixtures.

The e-commerce in Sweden has increased each year for the past several years, but still just over half of all the consumers feels worry about payment security. This could be the reason why over half of the consumers just shopped about one time on the Internet during the whole year of 2009. Another reason could be that the many consumers have a lack of trust to the different payment methods that are available during payment on the Internet, because they might don't possess enough knowledge regarding the payment methods and their security. If the consumers were to gain more knowledge about the payment methods and their security, it may lead to that the they would feel more comfortable when shopping online, and do it more frequently. It is this that will be investigated in this paper.The purpose of the paper  is to research if consumers believed knowledge concerning the different payment methods available on the web and their security influence the consumers trust in the payment methods.

I have researched different methods for practicing with the purpose of learning some useful ways to handle my performance anxiety issues, to better understand the phenomenon, and to be able to perform better under pressure. I chose or created nine methods and used each during a decided period of time, each period ending with a performance. Afterwards I analyzed the methods with the help of audio recordings and written concert evaluations to see if it was possible to alter my practicing techniques to be more directly focused on preparing for the concert situation..

Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur biståndshandläggare och personal på korttidsboende utgår från begreppet anknytning i sitt dagliga arbete med funktionsnedsatta barn där vårdnadshavarna ansökt om insatsen korttidsvistelse i korttidsboende. Uppsatsen syftar också till att undersöka om förutsättningar finns för att ha möjlighet att utgå från anknytning i arbetet. Insatsen beviljas av biståndshandläggare och regleras i Lagen (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS), 9 § p. 6, korttidsvistelse utanför det egna hemmet. Studiens frågeställningar är: ? Hur tar biståndshandläggare hänsyn till begreppet anknytning vid utredningar och beslut om korttidsvistelse i korttidsboende?? Hur tar personal på korttidsboende hänsyn till begreppet anknytning i det dagliga arbetet?? Vilka möjligheter och svårigheter upplever biståndshandläggare och personal på korttidsboende när de i sitt arbete tar hänsyn till begreppet anknytning?Den tidigare forskningen visar att funktionsnedsatta barn har en lägre grad av trygg anknytning än andra barn.

Denna uppsats handlar om åtta helt vanliga barn och deras helt vanliga mammor ur medelklassen och om hur barnens kontakt med papporna ser ut efter att föräldrarna gått skilda vägar.

Uppsatsens tre frågeställningar är sålunda: 1).Vad säger de intervjuade barnen om umgängeskontakten med sina pappor efter föräldrarnas separation? 2). Hur uppfattar mammorna sina barns upplevelse av att ha kontakt med sina pappor? 3).Hur kan man se på detta i förhållande till barnens bästa och barnens rätt till båda sina föräldrar?Genom en kvalitativ intervjustudie barnen själva kommit till tals.

A study has been conducted on how organizations in Sweden administer costs of facilities management services internally. There are three main theoretical methods for administering costs. In the first method, costs are maintained on a central level; in the second method, costs are allocated and in the third method, internal transfer pricing is used. The aim of the study is to identify which methods are applied in practice, to evaluate whether the methods fulfill their intended purposes and to study the relationship between the methods used and the cost level of facilites management services. In practice, a large diversity of methods are used for facilities management costs.
