The aim of this bachelor thesis is to find out how young adults experience the library and the space that they have access to. I used semi-structured interviews to find out about this and interviewed eight youths between the ages of 15 and 18 in a medium sized city in the province of Västra Götaland in Sweden. I then analyzed the material with the help of Goffman?s theory about front stage and back stage. I also did a small comparison with results from previous studies.The result showed that the youths generally liked the library and the staff but they had opinions on some issues.

The information is mainly used for attention directing and for decision making.

This study examines the cultural place and status of video and computer games in the Swedish public library. Using works on popular culture and the theories of Pierre Bourdieu, this study employs quantitative methods, as well as textual analysis, to analyze the results of an online questionnaire with 19 questions focusing on selection criteria, shelf placement, perceived competence, as well as reasoning for having or not having these games in the library. 286 out of the 440 libraries contacted is participating in the study, and the libraries consist exclusively of public libraries in Sweden that are found in the database of the Royal Library.The results of this study show that a larger number of libraries than previously indicated have started to provide electronic games to their patrons. At the same time, patterns in the data and comments suggests that these games in many cases still do not enjoy the same level of cultural recognition as other media. Indicative of this is the way most libraries seem to focus on the medium being exclusively for their young patrons, with seem-ingly very little in the way of investment for adults.

In relation to the paradigm shift that took place between the marketing mix and relationship marketing, and the emergence of information technology in the 90:s, the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has become a frequently used concept in marketing. Most definitions and approaches have been generated from previous studies, but the concept is still criticized for the number of failed implementation attempts. Along a discussion of the area has an elaborate theoretical foundation remained as the foundation for the study development and utilized in all the sections of the study. The study, with help from Gartner's eight building blocks of CRM, focus on how Swedish medium and large companies work with CRM, and if this is an indicator of the number of failed implementation attempts. The survey consists of two approaches, qualitative and quantitative, to provide both depth and generalizability of the study.

En ekonomisk utveckling har skett på marknaden under de senaste åren där människan gått från att endast köpa det nödvändigaste till att idag köpa mer än vad som behövs. Samtidigt massproduceras produkter till att det blir ett överskott på marknaden, vilket leder till låga priser och större konkurrans där olika medel används. Reklam är ett medel som används i konkurrensen att locka kunder till butiken. Marknadskommunikationen bör därför anpassas till där målgruppen rör sig samt hur samhället ser ut. Det är viktigt att lära känna sin målgrupp för att få en så effektiv marknadsföring som möjligt.Företaget sänder ett budskap till mottagaren som är konsumenten för att påverka till en handling.

Ten years ago the public computers with Internet access were introduced in the public libraries. The purpose of the public computers was to give the possibility of searching information. Along with the Internet came also communication media like chat and e-mail. This type of communication was a new function for the libraries and the reactions among the librarians were mixed. It has been a source of big frustration and attempts to block it has not succeeded.

Mitt syfte med den här uppsatsen är att visa att ordet geni är mer än bara ett ord utan också ett uttryck som bär med sig ett system av maktstrukturer som är djupt rotat inom konstens historia. Jag vill också visa hur begreppet ?det konstnärliga geniet ? verkar i bildämnet i det obligatoriska skolväsendet idag, ur ett pedagogiskt perspektiv.Jag börjar med att undersöka begreppet geni utifrån kategorierna; kön, sexualitet, klass, etnicitet, medium, teknik och kontext. I min undersökning jämför jag begreppet med grundskolans kursplan i bild och lokala kursplaner i bild. Sedan går jag in på resultatet av en workshop på Konstfack där jag bad sju bildlärarstudenter att tolka olika citat från kursplanen.

Foreign invested SMEs have recently become increasingly interested in China. The enterprises are in this report categorized as second wave companies since they follow the footsteps of previous pioneers, of which mostly were larger companies. The ambitions of the SMEs are either to sell products on the ever expanding Chinese market or to utilize the potential of low cost production for global markets. The existing literature is fragmented and solely based on the experience of larger companies. We believe that SMEs are facing new and different challenges, and thus a new generic theoretical frame work is desirable.

Abstract This examination work is about the role of physical activity for students with concentration difficulties. The purpose of this work is to describe educators experiences of how students with concentration difficulties are affected by physical and motor activity during school-time in primary school. In the work I assume from my questions that are: How do educators experience students with concentrations difficulties? Do educators think physical and motor training during school-time matter for the students learning processes? How? Do students with concentration difficulties have other possibilities than other students regarding physical and motor activity during school-time? I am using a qualitative interview method for answering my questions. The interviews are conducted in collaboration with three educators in a medium-sized Swedish F-6 school.

The purpose of this essay is to examine what literary heritage teachers communicate in the school subject Swedish at upper secondary school.

Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka hur min improvisation påverkades av olika förutbestämda parametrar och förutsättningar, både musikaliska och kreativa.Jag gjorde fem olika experiment där jag, genom att applicera olika parametrar på min improvisation, undersökte hur jag påverkades och vad som hände. Jag spelade även in referensimprovisationer för att ge en bild av hur jag improviserade vid tiden för examensarbetet. I improvisationsexperiment 1 undersökte jag sus2- och sus4ackord och kvartsackord/kvartsstaplingar. Improvisationsexperiment 2 bestod av att jag skulle improvisera horisontellt/visuellt över klaviaturen och alternera mina fraser uppifrån respektive nerifrån samt improvisera med korta/långa fraser och toner. Till mitt tredje experiment hade jag förutbestämda rytmer som jag skulle improvisera med.

Voltage sag indices are a way of quantifying the performance of the power supply, as far as voltage sags are concerned. Indices can be defined for individual events, for individual sites, and for a whole system. A standard method for single-event methods is part of IEC standard 61000-4-30.This thesis emphasizes the importance of voltage sag indices and different methods for calculating three-phase voltage sag characteristics. Three-phase events measured in a medium network voltage over period of one month were analyzed, results examined and statistically evaluated. An algorithm for calculating voltage sag characteristics and indices was created in Matlab.

Mediation of fiction has always been one of the main tasks of the public library. The focus on information technology is often seen as a threat and competitor to this task. But technology can also offer new ways to mediate fiction, and the aim of this thesis is to examine how library websites and blogs can be used for this purpose. The research questions are:? What forms of fiction mediating material exist on library websites and blogs?? How is the fiction mediating material presented?? Are there any differences between the fiction mediating working methods on websites and blogs compared with those in physical libraries?The thesis is based on a qualitative content analysis of eight Swedish public library websites and three blogs, and on a theoretical frame work including literature and research on mediation of fiction, library websites and blogs, web design and usability.
