Some word processing programs save information that not all users of the program are aware of. This information consists of a number of things. Example of that is who the writer of the document is, the time it took to write it and where on the computer the document is saved. Text that has been changed or removedcan also be saved. This information is not shown in the program and the user will therefore not be aware of its existence.

Denna uppsats behandlar ämnet kriskommunikation. Olika kriskommunikationsteorier presenteras och tillämpas i fallet med oljejätten BPs oljekatastrof i Mexikanska golfen, våren 2010. Pressmeddelanden från företaget analyseras för att urskilja strategier utifrån teorin image repair och även svensk morgonpress granskas för att se hur väl BPs kriskommunikation återspeglas i nyhetsrapporteringen. Teorin image repair som vi använder oss av i vår studie är utformad av William L. Benoit.

This thesis examines the ideological implications of an emerging shift in human rights-issues regarding information. As Intellectual Property becomes increasingly important to the economy of developed nations previously commonly owned or unprotected information runs a real risk of becoming privatized. The World Trade Organization and its binding agreements GATS and TRIPS are subjected to a critical ideology-analysis, with special efforts to elucidate possible effects on the public service realm and its commitment as provider of free information as a human right. The result suggests that not only does a threat to information as such a right exist, but that its ideological basis however seemingly rooted in a liberal/neoliberal context actually in its express views on information deviates from liberal/neoliberal theory in many ways, and that there are theoretical inconsistencies in that same ideology..

Intranets has been marketing as the tool for solving the organisations information problems. My interest is to see how an intranet works in an organisation. This study was an investigation about the use of EkaForum, the intranet of Eka Chemicals, at the Rollsbo division. The study aimed to evaluate how EkaForum is being used, firstly as a transmitter of information and secondly as a communication tool for the organisation. The study was constructed as a quantity survey based on a questionnaire with 24 questions and was sent out to the staff of Rollsbo division.

Laborationer är en del i naturvetenskapliga ämnen, där eleverna får praktisk erfarenhet av teorin. För att ta reda på mer om elevers lärande av laborationer, används som utgångspunkt litteratur om lärande, lärande i naturvetenskap och lärande med laborationer. Forskare har olika åsikter om laborationers användbarhet, vilket lett fram till frågorna: Hur påverkas elevernas förståelse av teorin, genom att laborera om den? Vad anser eleverna om laborationer som ett tillfälle att fördjupa sin kunskap? Detta undersöktes med kvalitativa metoder, där både enkäter och intervjuer användes. Frågorna var både kunskapsfrågor, förståelsefrågor och frågor om vad eleverna själva anser om laborationer.

During the last decades the evolution of information technology and the increasing ability to access information have been discussed in many ways. In the beginning the focus was on the technology but now the discussion is more and more about the use of information and how to develop knowledge out of it. There is an ongoing discussion about the difference between knowledge and information. The subject of this Master s thesis is to find out if and how the Swedish elementary school has written into its mission statements to help the pupils to become information literate. For this purpose I have examined literature about information literacy and pedagogic as well as legislation and other documents that control how the Swedish elementary schools work.

The aim of this study is to examine present forms of interaction between Child Welfare Clinics (Barnavårdscentraler, BVC), and libraries. The study departs from the user?s perspective, i.e. how the parents evaluate the information they are given about the library and its resources to provide information they want in their present and new situation. In two local communities the survey looks into how parents of babies are informed about the library in meetings arranged as part of the information and support program provided by BVC.

Bakgrund Forskningen om lärares arbetssituation har mestadels utgått från det patogena synsättet och identifierat problem och riskfaktorer. Därför behövs det mer salutogen forskning som lyfter fram hälsoskapande faktorer och uppmärksammar samt ger underlag för att utveckla goda arbetssätt och arbetsformer. Dessa kan sedan underlätta arbetet och därigenom förbättra hälsan och välbefinnandet i arbetslivet för lärare. Syfte Syftet med studien var att utifrån teorin om känsla av sammanhang (KASAM) identifiera arbetsrelaterade faktorer och processer som lärare uppfattar som stärkande och hälsofrämjande. Metod Tre fokusgruppsintervjuer, varav en i en gymnasieskola och två i en grundskola i södra Sverige, genomfördes med sammanlagt tio lärare. Materialet analyserades med deduktiv innehållsanalys med teorin om känsla av sammanhang som analysmatris. Resultat Arbetsrelaterade specifikt stärkande resurser för lärare har identifierats och analyserats in i KASAM-teorins tre komponenter begriplighet, hanterbarhet och meningsfullhet. Meningsfullhet finns inbyggd i lärarnas uppdrag.

The aim of this study was to examine if an organisation that strives for democracy and participation, also possess an open information culture. This study deals with the information culture in a social movement organisation, Attac Gothenburg. To achieve the aim, following questions were asked: What is the organisation culture like, is it open or closed? What is the information culture like, is it open or closed? What is the information culture like, in relation to the identity of the organisation? The focus has been put on earlier research in social movements, organisation and information culture. In this qualitative study I have collected material mainly from interviews.

The aim of this study has been to investigate actors? methods for acquiring information that is necessary for their profession, with a focus on the more random methods they might possibly use. The study is based on the following questions: What information needs do actors have in relation to their profession? Which methods do actors use to procure information? Which information systems do actors use? What role does the library play in the actors? acquisition of information? Through an interview study with 10 informants a picture is formed of the actors? information behavior. With the help of theoretical ideas regarding random methods of acquisition, we describe which information needs actors have and how they acquire that information.

This work studied the information flow and information handling among different parties. The study focused on how educational materials on national tests from The Swedish National Agency for Education is managed by school principals and teachers and how the information is passed on to students. The data material was based on observations and interviews at two different high schools. Six teachers and their classes and principals participated in the study. The Agency was also interviewed.

The purpose of this thesis is to reach a deeper understanding of the context of teachers? information seeking. Research in the role of the library in a learning perspective is in demand. To reach our aim we investigate what teachers say about their experiences of the user training during their studies and what effect it had on their information seeking as teachers. We interviewed four teachers and analyzed the transcripts of their sayings about their experiences of their information seeking during their education and a teaching profession.

Bakgrund: Vikten av organisatorisk intern kommunikation beskrivs först på en bred grund för att sedan fokusera mer på kommunikationskanalernas användande. Vi problematiserar vidare i problemdiskussionen att många av de studier som genomförts har fokuserat på större företag.Syfte: Syftet är att kartlägga hur väl vedertagen teori stämmer överens på ett mindre företag. Genom observationer och kompletterande intervjuer inom ett representativt svenskt företag vill vi i synnerhet belysa organisationsmedlemmarnas syn på den dagliga kommunikationen. Vidare syftar vi att analysera den teoretiska referensramen, vilket möjliggör en djupare förståelse av den interna dagliga kommunikationens förutsättningar i ett mindre svenskt företag. För att besvara uppsatsens syfte har vi framställt följande frågeställning; Är vedertagen teori tillräcklig för att framhäva det dagliga samspelet mellan den kommunicerande ledaren och mottagande medarbetarna på ett mindre svenskt företag?Metod: För att svara på studiens syfte har vi valt att använda oss av en deduktiv ansats med ett kvalitativt fokus på ett fallföretag.
