This thesis is an investigation of Iranian immigrants and their use of libraries in Sweden. It isbased on a combination of a qualitative and a·quantitative method.Using a qualitative method, I give an outline of the history of lran from ancient times up to the present, as well as the different ethnological groups in Iran and their cultures. The main objective of this part is to clarify the contrasts between Iranian and Swedish cultural, social, linguistic and family structures, and also the characteristics of the crisis that most immigrants go through on their arrival in the new country. The qualitative method also involves structured telephone interviews with eight highly educated Iranians.This method was supplemented by a quantitative study through questionnaires of the attitudes· of lranian immigrants to libraries and reading. Iranians in Sweden turned out to be frequent Iibrary users.

Uppsatsen undersöker fyra navigationsmönster som kan tillämpas på responsiva webbsidor. Ett navigationsmönster består av själva placeringen av en webbsidas navigationsmeny samt eventuell interaktion en användare måste göra för att få tillgång till denna. Frågeställningen ämnar att utröna vilket av dessa fyra mönster som är bäst lämpat för att implementeras på webbsidor vars menyalternativ även har underkategorier. Studien använder sig av fritt tillgängliga mönster som modifieras och implementeras i fyra webbsidor, en för vardera navigationsmönster. Resultaten utifrån de intervjuer och observationer som utförts visar på att fliksystemet som finns i ?Paneled? prototypen är det navigationsmönster som majoriteten av användaren upplevde som minst tidskrävande och mest överskådligt.

Denna rapport behandlar push-teknik, en teknik för att skicka data i realtid inom webbapplikationer.Många gånger i dagens mer interaktiva webb kan ett behov finnas av att behandla data på ett alternativt sätt. På grund av detta kändes det valda ämnet relevant inom ramen för webbutveckling.Syftet är att undersöka hur vida denna teknik skiljer sig mot andra tekniker för att transportera data. För att kunna undersöka push-tekniken har en applikation skapats med hjälp av ett ramverk för detta ändamål. Som ramverk för arbetet valdes APE som innehåller en komplett lösning för push-teknik på webben.Som underlag för rapporten utvecklades en spelapplikation samt en utvärdering av ramverket APE och ett antal prestandatester gjordes..

The portrayals of women in lifestyle magazines has been a continuous subject in genderresearch, but have mainly been focused on research about heterosexual women. However, how women are being portrayed through editorial content in an LGBT magazines have shown to be a gap in gender research.The purpose of this study was to find out how female identities were portrayed in theeditorial content in the LGBT magazine QX ? Sweden?s largest magazine aimed atmembers of the LGBT community in Sweden.The analysis of the material was conducted through a semiotic and a narrative analysis. Patterns and reoccurring themes were selected, and furthermore were analysed againstfeminist theories and views such as queer theory, radical feminism and post-modernfeminism.Four different gender archetypes derived from the result of the study: The strongfemale, The passive female, The stereotypical female, and The intimate female. Thestudy did show that women featured in QX magazine were portrayed throughheteronormative patterns, although the magazine represents a larger alternative group..

Watching television (TV) has been given a new meaning, you don?t have to book a specific time, a specific date if you don?t want to miss the program you were planning to see. In Sweden now days we can watch TV in lot of different ways, whenever we choose to do so. In this thesis I attempt to explain and document the process of shaping a tvformat, the development and adaptation to a time when the TV medium is in a change. Plus a look at how the television audiences relate to their use of it.

Webb 2.0 och sociala medier har bidragit till nya sätt att integrera på webben. Transformeringen från webb 1.0 till webb 2.0 har lett till att även sociala medier och Twitter och sociala medier kommit att bli ett arbetsredskap för journalister. Det är lätt att förbise att journalisterna inte enbart är sändare av information utan även mottagare. Uppsatsen undersöker hur journalister använder sig av Twitter och sociala medier som verktyg för informationshämtning och vad det ger för effekt på journalistikens innehåll. Genom att knyta an till tidigare forskning av Michael Gullikssons rapport Elektroniska källor i dagspressjournalistik: tekniktillgång, teknikanvändning och attityder vid tre redaktioner 1993 och 1996, jämförs användningen av Twitter och Facebook på en landsortstidning, Söderhamns-Kuriren, med en rikstäckande nyhetstidning, Dagens Nyheter. Kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts skriftligt med tre journalister vardera på respektive nyhetsredaktion. Uppsatsens resultat visar att journalisterna använder sociala medier som arbetsverktyg i allt större utsträckning.

I denna uppsats har vi studerat effekter uppkomna vid införandet av inter- organisatoriska system. Mer precist har vi studerat vilka effekter som uppkommer hos ett storföretags leverantörer vid införandet av Webb-EDI i kombination med självfakturering. Vi har visat att många av de effekter som tidigare forskning hävdar positiva endast är positiva för storföretaget, inte för de många gånger mindre leverantörerna. Ökad tidsåtgång i den administrativa hanteringen och problem med betalningsrutiner är några av de negativa effekter som visat sig uppkomma. Dessa problem kommer på sikt att få betalas av kunden, i detta fall Volvo Personvagnar AB (Volvo PV), i form av högre priser eller sämre service.

Smartphone-marknaden är idag en mångmiljardindustri; för utvecklare har det skapats en helt ny marknad för mobil-applikationer. Ett problem med marknadenidag är den fragmentering som finns mellan olika mobila operativsystem, detta är ett problem då utvecklare behöver utveckla flera separata applikationer för olika mobila operativsystem..
