The aim of this master thesis is to investigate the ideas about functions that public libraries have in the local society. We have used the method idea analysis on four municipal library plans, to find out which ideas about library functions that frequented each plan, and what similarities and differences there were between the ideas about functions in each plan. As a theoretic base, we have used a theory about three dynamic spheres in modern society: the state market and civil society, and examined how these three spheres influence and control the library functions. We have extracted six different ideas about library functions: educational, social, economical, entertaining, serving and democratic functions. The most dominating ideas in this study are ideas that the public library should be an educating and formative institution.

Titel: Riksdagspartiernas kommunikation på Facebook.Författare: Kristin Claréus Wästlund, Jakob Säw, Klara Schåltz Bodinson.Handledare: Nicklas Håkansson.Kurs: Examensarbete i Media- och kommunikationsvetenskap, Institutionen för journalistikoch kommunikation, Göteborgs Universitet.Termin: Höstterminen 2014.Syfte: Syftet med studien är att systematiskt analysera hur de politiska partierna kommunicerar på Facebook.Sidantal: 53Metod: Kvantitativ innehållsanalys.Material: Studien undersöker riksdagspartiernas publicerade inlägg på Facebook under de tre sista veckorna innan riksdagsvalet år 2014.Huvudresultat: Studiens resultat visar att kanalen Facebooks användning för politisk kommunikation är under utveckling. Medan samtliga svenska riksdagspartier är aktiva på kanalen så differentierar sig sättet det faktiska bruket. De mest frekventa publiceringarna innehåller text ihop med bild eller video och framförallt syftar de till att sakpolitiskt informeraeller kampanjuppdatera. Vidare konstateras att Facebook används fristående från de traditionella massmedierna och vid länkning sker det framförallt till andra sociala medier.Kanalen nyttjas flitigast bland de mindre partierna exempelvis Miljöpartier och Folkpartiet men när det kommer till att använda kanalens interaktiva funktioner för relationsarbete särskiljer sig partierna. Då går det istället att se att de bland somliga partier finns en strävan att interagera med sina publiker medan samspelet helt exkluderas hos andra.

The marketing campaign ?Låna dig rik? [Get rich by lending] involved 25 public libraries in three regions; Kronoberg, Kalmar and Blekinge. This paper examines 28 news-articles concerning this campaign, found in eight publications in the responding regions. The purpose of this is to determine to what extent the description of the campaign found therein responded to the intents of its founders and to what extent the public had a say in these articles. The result found indicates that the overall image of the campaign presented in the news-articles was well in correspondence with the intents of the campaign itself but that the public views where arguably absent..

Problem Intresset för sport är omfattande i världen och med sporten kommer möjligheter för företag att kommunicera med marknaden. Dessa möjligheter innefattar sponsring. Företag väljer olika sponsringsobjekt, sätter upp mål och aktiverar sin sponsring. I dagsläget finns det dock alltför många företag som investerar i sponsring utan eftertanke till objektets karaktär eller potentiella målsättningar. Dessutom brukar företagen enbart utöva varumärkesexponering vid sportevenemang.

In this Masters thesis the image of the public library in the local press and in the eyes of the public is examined. The questions posed to examine this are: - What activities of the public library are described in the local press? - What activities does the public associate with the public library? - What functions and roles of the public library can be found in the articles and interviews and how are they expressed? - What opinions of the public library and hereto related activities can be found in the articles and interviews? This study is based on an analysis of 127 articles, published in Borås Tidning during a period of six months, and of interviews with 35 people from Sjuhäradsbygden. To analyse the articles and the interviews Marianne Andersson and Dorte Skot-Hansen´s model of roles for the library has been used. The model includes four roles for the library: the library as a cultural centre, a knowledge centre, an information centre and a social centre.

This thesis is about the public library of Ulricehamn and the cultural activities at the library during the period from 1960 to 1998. We have focused on the study of the cultural activities. It begins with the foundation of the library of Ulricehamn and a historical background to it. It follows with the definitions of the public library and a historical background to the public library in Sweden. Then we present the goal of the public library in general and the goal of Ulricehamn's city library.

Da? konsumenter idag a?r mer bena?gna att pa?tala brister i reklam, a?r det av intresse fo?r fo?retaget bakom den aktuella reklamen att ha?va missno?jet samt att skapa en la?ngsiktig lo?sning som fo?rebygger att missno?je a?terkommer. Syftet med denna uppsats a?r att redogo?ra fo?r hur fo?retag, med Top Toy som exempel, kan arbeta fo?r att mildra och ha?va det missno?je som ha?rro?r fra?n reklamkampanjer, samt hur fo?retag kan arbeta fo?r att la?ra sig av denna process. Detta underso?ks genom en fallstudie av leksaksfo?retaget Top Toy, som under en fyraa?rsperiod mottog klagoma?l pa? sina ko?nsstereotypa leksakskataloger och successivt arbetade fo?r att na? en lo?sning som kunde eliminera missno?jet.

This bachelor?s thesis describes a qualitative case study of a public library as ?third place?, a place besides from home and workplace visited frequently for conversation. The subject is chosen because of the many roles of public libraries.

The aim of this Masters thesis is to examine public library and information technology IT discourses to see which relationships are established between them in four library journals. This is done in two steps, where first discourses are defined followed by an analysis of the relationships established between the public library and IT in each discourse. The questions from which the analysis emanates are as follows: What discourses exist around the public library and IT in the library journals? What conceptions of the tasks of the public library are constructed in the discourses? What conceptions of the tasks of IT are constructed in the discourses? What conceptions of the relationships between the public library and IT are constructed in the discourses? The theoretical and methodological starting-points are found in Ernesto Laclaus and Chantal Mouffes discourse theory. 37 articles from four library journals Biblioteksbladet, Bibliotek i Samhälle, DIK-forum and Ikoner - are analysed through a model in five phases.

The first aim of this study is to examine what the differences are between the Classic directive (directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts) and the Revised Classic directive (directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the council of 26 February 2014 on public procurement and repealing Directive 2004/18/EC) when it comes to social considerations in public procurement. The second aim is to examine if the revision of the directive has solved the prior existing problems regarding social considerations in public procurement. In this paper a traditional European legal method is used. The examinations show a number of things, including the Revised Classic directive involving codification of case law, references to other sources of law and some clarified rules as well as new provisions. The regulations regarding reserved contracts, technical specifications, and selection criterion are satisfied in the Revised Classic directive.

Med utgångspunkt för tre forskningsområden: semiotik, pragmatik och kognition, har det gjorts ett försök i att belysa om språket och bilden har skilda roller i den moderna TV-reklamen. Ett noga urval av dagens TV-reklamfilmer användes som underlag för den empiriska undersökningen undersökningen. För att besvara syftet och frågeställningarna testades reklamfilmerna ur två kognitiva aspekter: kognition och affekt. Resultatet som framkom i undersökningen ligger som grund för en diskussion huruvida det går att tala om skilda roller för språket och bilden..

The purpose of this study is to analyse how the local governments have implanted the new public health policy, which Sweden adopted in April 2003. The new health policy stakes out a new direction for national public health policy. Instead of focusing on diseases the new public health policy focus in factors that determine health.Important factors to study are the role of central steering from the central government. The method used is a case study of three Swedish local governments. The main material used is interviews and different policy documents within the area of public health.The conclusion of the study shows that the local governments are fairly satisfied with the steering of public health policy by the central government.

AbstractEvidence based research has shown that organized parent support programmes have a goodeffect in strengthening the role of the parent and preventing problems during growth. Thisin turn has a great significance for Public Health.Komet is one of the evidence based programmes used in Sweden, based on Americanprogrammes and adapted to Swedish conditions.This qualitative study consists of interviews with six children between six and nine yearswith behaviour problems, whose parents have taken part in the Komet programme.With Grounded Theory as research approach the children?s experiences of the programmeand relations within the family have been looked into and analysed.The result of this study suggests that a space for growth of their own is a common need ofthe children, and that this can be achieved by giving them the opportunity to function in afamily environment where they are seen and understood.The Komet programme contributed to this by giving the family tools to strengthen relationswithin the family, create calm and make the children more visible.The self image of the children in this study had improved which gave them more room togrow in a strengthened family situation. This in turn improved conditions for good feelings,and sense of well being, of importance for child development and health..
