The aim of this master thesis was to find out about librarians opinions of childrens libraries on the Internet, if it is a resource to reach children. Qualitative interviews were conducted with three librarians who had participated in the construction and development of childrens libraries on the Internet. IT and the Internet play an important role in childrens lives and children are using it to a greater extent. Libraries have begun to integrate IT and Internet into their services and are offering service on the Internet. The public library websites are usually for grown-ups and very few are directed to children.

Syftet med projektet var att tillverka en webbaserad kartvisningstjänst för att visualisera geografiska och infrastrukturella förändringar över tiden. Detta genom att historiska och dagsaktuella kartor överlappas och presenteras som en bild.Applikationen utvecklades i ASP.NET med programspråket Visual Basic. Som databashanterare användes Microsoft SQL-server 2000. För bearbetning av kartmaterialet användes Arcview 8. Som utvecklingsmetod användes David Siegels modell för att konstruera webbplatser.

Bakgrund: Prestationsmätning syftar till att implementera ett företags strategi. För att lyckas med det krävs tillgång till relevant information för att ta rätt beslut.

The ambition to use evidence based treatments has spread within the field of Swedish social work. The number of treatments with claim to being evidence based has grown but the research concerning implementation; the procedures being used to introduce new methods in organizations and assure that the method is being used appropriately and continuously, is scarce. The aim of this study was to examine the implementation of Functional Family Therapy (FFT), being an evidence based treatment, in an organization providing social services in the public sector, in Sweden. We used a qualitative research design and conducted interviews with persons involved in the implementation of FFT in the social services in a town in the south of Sweden. We used the practice guidelines provided in Evidence Based Practice (EBP) together with recently published meta- analyses of implementation research, in the field of social work, to examine the implementation of FFT, as being an evidence based treatment.

In supporting an efficient way to gather and develop contact information for the Uppsala Association of Technology Physicist alumni, it is crucial to have in place an adequate and user-friendly system allowing the continuous collection and storage of such contact information. This can achieved by the creation of a website where alumni can enter information about themselves and where such information in turn is stored in a database. A database containing relevant tables has been developed in MySQL. In utilizing phpMyAdmin, the programming language PHP and Web Server Apache, a fully functional website to be included on the Association's website has been created..

Institutionen Tillämpad fysik och elektronik på Umeå Universitet använder sig av lärandeplattformen Moodle för hantering av kurser med tillhörande uppgifter och material kring dem. På Moodle laddar studenterna upp dokument och lärare betygssätter dem, vartefter en avklarad kurs registreras hos LADOK. Detta projekt kommer omfatta teori om hur Moodle är uppbyggt (version 2.4), hur utveckling av moduler sker, samt för- och nackdelar beroende på om operativsystemet Windows eller Linux används.Utvecklingen av moduler omfattar kodning av två stycken. Den ena modulen skall gå att implementeras till Moodle för att användas till kurser av institutionen för att underlätta kontrollen av inlämnade dokument som ännu ej är behandlade av lärare. Den andra är en generell modul som skapas i handledningssyfte för att senare kunna utvecklas vidare på, och implementeras till systemet om behov finns.

This bachelor thesis aims to investigate how social workers in Uppsala describe their procedure when investigating applications for housing assistance (i.e. boendestöd). Boendestöd is a specific type of services for people with disabilities, which aim to assist them in their lives. This welfare service is one of many regulated by the framework legislation that is the social services act (SoL 2001:453). Previous research indicates that civil servants who make decisions based on goal-oriented framework legislations like SoL, have a great freedom to act when they make judgments and decisions.

The effectiveness of communication in the Swedish healthcare system context has long been the subject of debate. Issues stemming from usability, accessability and interpretation affect the lives of patients, and yet the vocal groups in the healthcare communication debate are patients and administrators, not healthcare professionals. With the advent of eHealth services and new demands being put forth on the ability of healthcare professionals' to handle increasingly numerous and innovative systems, it is of more importance than ever to understand the healthcare professionals' work context. This article is based on interviews with five healthcare professionals concerning their views on electronic health records (EHR), eHealth services, trends in healthcare services development in Sweden, as well as their views on the future of eHealth solutions and health information technology (HIT). Analysis of collected information shows an apprehension among healthcare professionals towards electronic communication, as well as a dissatisfaction with the usability of modern healthcare systems.

Bakgrund och problemFörvärvad goodwill skall inte längre skrivas av utan istället genomgå en nedskrivningsprövning minst en gång per år, även om det inte finns några indikationer på värdenedgång. Oavsett om prövningen resulterar i en nedskrivning eller ej innebär de nya reglerna omfattande upplysningskrav gällande de uppskattningar som använts vid nedskrivningsprövningen. Två studier som gjordes direkt efter införandet år 2005 visade att relativt många företag har med svårigheter gällande upplysningskraven i IAS 36 punkt 134. Båda undersökningarna uttrycker att det finns utrymme för förbättringar under kommande år.ProblemformuleringMed bakgrund mot tidigare studier har författarna formulerat följande problemformulering: Går det att se en förändring gällande redovisning av upplysningskraven i IAS 36 punkt 134 för år 2008 jämfört med år 2005?SyfteSyftet med studien är att undersöka hur börsnoterade bolag inom industribranschen uppfyller upplysningskraven gällande koncernmässig goodwill i IAS 36 punkt 134 i årsredovisningen för år 2008 jämfört med år 2005.MetodStudien har genomförts enligt den kvantitativa metoden.

AbstractThe use of temporary agency workers has increased significantly during the last decades. Due to considerable differences in the legal status and working conditions of temporary agency workers within the EU, the directive 2008/104/EC on temporary agency work was adopted in 2008. The current directive has a two folded purpose, first and foremost to improve the employment and working conditions for temporary agency workers, by establishing the principle of equal treatment. The second purpose is to create greater acceptance for the temporary work agencies, and also to review and remove any unjustified restrictions or prohibitions against them.There are several different models for labour market regulation represented within the EU. The Swedish and Nordic model has through history relied heavily on regulation via collective agreements, entered into by the social partners, with a minimal amount of state interference and regulation.For Sweden there is a potential problem in the implementation of the directive on temporary agency work, since it follows from case law by the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
