Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to construct a new e-commerce innovation and adoption model that takes into account various stages of e-commerce adoption (interactive, non-interactive and stabilised) and covers technological, organisational and environmental factors. This was tested using data collected from manufacturing and service companies in Saudi Arabia (SA) to reveal inhibitors and catalysts for e-commerce adoption. Design/methodology/approach - This study uses new data from surveys from 202 companies and then uses exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling for analyses. Findings - This study shows that the new stage-oriented model (SOM) is valid and can reveal specific detailed nuances of e-commerce adoption within a particular setting. Surprising results show that SA is not so very different to developed western countries in respect to e-commerce adoption. However there are some important differences which are discussed in detail. Research limitations/implications - A new SOM for e-commerce adoption is provided which may be used by other IS adoption researchers. Practical implications - Managers responsible for the adoption of e-commerce in SA, the Middle East and beyond can learn from these findings to speed up adoption rates and make e-commerce more effective. Social implications - This work may help spread e-commerce use throughout SA, the Middle East and to other developing nations. Originality/value - The results add to the extremely limited number of empirical studies that has been conducted to investigate e-commerce adoption in the context of Arabic countries.

This dissertation uncovers the path of Pernambuco’s independent cinema of the Retomada, of its production in the second half of the 1990s until mid 2012 when the sector manages to secure a funding edict (Funcultura) for its films and at the same time establishes a few symbolic mechanisms which contributed to the consolidation of a new cycle, the post-Retomada, namely: cinephilia and brodagem. Because it is a cinematography (pernambucana) outside the Rio-São Paulo axis, that is, outside the great center of the brazillian culture industry, the cinema produced in Pernambuco built a very specific modus operandi, in which a material basis, the consolidation of Funcultura, intercrossed with two symbolic practices feeding on each other, cinephilia and brodagem. In this regard, we seek not to establish the material perspective as the primary determination as opposed to the symbolic one. Futhermore, we followed the path of cinephilia in its direct commucation with the brodagem, and how both these logics pressured authorities to institute an incentive funding separated from other artforms in the state. From this point of view, we attempted to trace the trajectory of this cinematography in its external nuances, but also taking into account the internal nuances of its works of art (films). Following this, we created categories to define and distinguish the nuances of the Retomada and post-Retomada productions regarding ethical and aesthetical choices made by directors from both generations.

Summit Music Management är ett managementföretag som arbetar med en rad svenska artister. I deras arbetsuppgifter ingår även hantering av artisternas webbplatser, ett arbete som visat sig vara säkerhetskänsligt och svårt att få klart. Målet med projektet har varit att utveckla ett Content Management System för aktörer inom musikbranschen, vars syfte det är att förenkla det dagliga arbetet av dessa webbplatser. Systemet ska innehålla funktionalitet som gör det möjligt att skapa webbplatser åt artisterna samtidigt som det ska gå att underhålla och uppdatera textmaterial såväl som bilder som finns på webbplatserna. Systemet har skapats med tekniker, språk och ramverk som finns tillgängliga under fria licensavtal. Systemets grund är skapat med PHP-ramverket Laravel tillsammans med HTML, CSS och Twitter Bootstrap. Denna del fungerar som gränssnitt för administratörer där användaren kan logga in och skapa webbplatser. De webb-platser som skapas av systemet är skrivna i AngularJS tillsammans med HTML, CSS och Twitter Bootstrap. Mellan dessa delar finns ett REST-api skrivet i Laravel som sköter kommunikationen mellan komponenterna. Systemet arbetar mot en MySQL-databas där all data lagras och hämtas ifrån. Summit Music Management har förutom att leverera text- och bildmaterial, även fungerat somtestpanel för att kunna mäta systemets användbarhet. Testerna visade att systemet kan möta de behov som finns hos Summit Music Management men att det kan komma att behöva vidareutvecklas för att bättre passa en större kundgrupp och för att strama åt säkerhetsaspekterna ytterligare.

Målet med det här arbetet har varit att ta fram en Androidapplikation som kan spåra användaren och ge information om hur användaren rört sig med tid, distans altitud och hastighet. Applikationen ska vara individuellt fungerande men det stora syftet är att den ska fungera som en av tre delar i en större applikation med fler funktioner för de som är ute i skogen och rör på sig. Då inte alla telefoner har en inbyggd stegräknare kommer en undersökning göras för att se vilken sensor som lämpar sig bäst för att räkna steg och sedan använda den i applikationen. Resultatet blev en fungerande applikation som spårar användaren med hjälp av GPS, räknar antalet steg med antingen den inbyggda stegräknaren eller med hjälp av gyroskopet som visade sig vara den mest lämpade sensorn att räkna steg med. Utöver det så presenteras information om tid, distans och vilken altitud användaren rört sig på. All information kan sparas och användaren kan scrolla i en lista med sparade rutter.

Bedömningsforskningen har de senaste decennierna fokuserat allt mer på formativ bedömning, som ett verktyg för lärande, snarare än en summativ avstämning av elevers kunskaper och förmågor. 2016 skriver elever i årkurs 3 nationella prov i matematik under vårterminen. Skolverket har formulerat ett huvudsakligt syfte med proven och jag vill med detta självständiga arbete undersöka hur lärares syften stämmer överens med dessa och hur väl pedagogerna upplever att proven synliggör och stöttar eleverna mot måluppfyllelse. Arbetet syftar också till att undersöka lärares attityder till och arbetssätt med de nationella proven i matematik i årskurs 3 samt vilka för- och nackdelar lärarna upplever med proven. Studien är av kvalitativ karaktär och bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer av fyra yrkesverksamma lärare inom både kommunala skolor och friskolor. Resultatet visade att dessa lärare uttryckte en överlag positiv attityd till de nationella proven. De angav att de genomförde proven delvis för att det var obligatoriskt men också för att synliggöra elevernas måluppfyllelse, detta i enighet med Skolverkets uttalade syfte. Lärarna angav att de aktivt arbetade med proven för att dessutom stötta eleverna mot vidare kunskapsutveckling samt för att utvärdera sin undervisning men upplevde att detta är upp till den enskilda läraren att genomföra. Två av lärarna ansåg att proven dessutom hjälpte till att konkretisera styrdokumenten. Lärarna uttryckte de nationella provens möjligheter till att synliggöra och nå måluppfyllelse samt att utvärdera och utveckla den egna undervisningen som fördelar. Den mest framträdande nackdelen var bland informanterna den tid som proven tar i anspråk, både i fråga om genomförande och bedömning.  Studien visade vidare att två av lärarna sambedömde proven inom arbetslaget och att samtliga medverkande tog stöd från specialpedagoger vid behov.

The aim of this thesis is to, based on teachers’ experiences, describe and analyse meanings of teachers’ leadership in general, and in relation to children in need of special support in particular. The study was carried out within the tradition of participatory-oriented research, a research circle. The dialogues in the circle were based on the participants’ questions, experiences, interests, and knowledge. The circle included a researcher and nine teachers from the following types of schools: preschool, preschool class, compulsory school, and compulsory school for pupils with learning disabilities. The study is based on an understanding of leadership as a relational practice. Leadership is practised in the interaction between teacher and child. Both parties exert influence over the practice of leadership. A central assumption in the study is that knowledge can develop through and in interactions between people, that knowledge and power are connected, and that knowledge and actions are intertwined. Another central assumption is that learning is a complex phenomenon. In the analysis of the research circle’s dialogues, the following meanings of teachers’ leadership emerge: to facilitate learning and discipline, and to promote different interests. The practice of leadership involves teachers handling complex situations in their interactions with ‘all’ children, i.e. children in need of special support and children without such needs. Leadership is practised between teachers and children, and the teachers have to consider the group of children as a collective in relation to the individual children. At the same time, the teachers have to consider their intentions versus what happens during the interactions. In addition, the teachers have to pay heed to the fact that their own actions and the children’s actions influence one another. Finally, the teachers have to consider the individual child’s ‘best interest’ in relation to the requirements of the policy documents. Furthermore, the results indicate that the practice of leadership is perceived as both unpredictable and, to some extent, predictable at the same time, which adds to the complexity of leadership. The teachers cannot know for sure what the children understand or if the children’s actions facilitate learning. However, the teachers can make certain assumptions about how to practice leadership in order to facilitate learning and discipline in children with different needs. The meanings of leadership were expressed in different ways in the circle’s dialogues; both as enabling and limiting in interactions with children in need of special support. One of the study’s conclusions is that leadership seems to be particularly complex in interactions with children in need of special support. The research circle’s dialogues served to promote a democratic knowledge process. The dialogues were characterised by respect for the participants’ different opinions; however, this does not mean that they were free from power structures.

Non-take up in the Swedish welfare system: On the impact of social position on women’s decision-making regarding mammography screening Central to a well-functioning and effective welfare system is that benefits reach the people to whom they are intended. By focusing on an example of so called non-take up – namely women’s decision not to attend mammography screening – this article discusses decision making in relation to living conditions, i.e. social position, and to the public health intentions of the welfare state. The main theoretical basis for the analysis is Rogers’ humanistic/existential theory. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were made with 18 women who had abstained from mammography screening. Their decision was described, analyzed and problematized focused on whether their living conditions, leading to a strong or weak social position, is of relevance to their decision to refrain from this health promoting examination. The women’s own experiences clearly showed how their social position was of great importance for how they explained their decision to abstain. Furthermore, social position affects how women handle different impact from living conditions, society’s expectations and personal experiences of mammography screening. This study makes visible the gap between public health intentions of the society and individual conditions.

Recent empirical studies about the neurological executive nature of reading in bilinguals differ in their evaluations of the degree of selective manifestation in lexical access as implicated by data from early and late reading measures in the eye-tracking paradigm. Currently two scenarios are plausible: (1) Lexical access in reading is fundamentally language non-selective and top-down effects from semantic context can influence the degree of selectivity in lexical access; (2) Cross-lingual lexical activation is actuated via bottom-up processes without being affected by top-down effects from sentence context. In an attempt to test these hypotheses empirically, this study analyzed reader-text events arising when cognate facilitation and semantic constraint interact in a 22 factorially designed experiment tracking the eye movements of 26 Swedish-English bilinguals reading in their L2. Stimulus conditions consisted of high- and low-constraint sentences embedded with either a cognate or a non-cognate control word. The results showed clear signs of cognate facilitation in both early and late reading measures and in either sentence conditions. This evidence in favour of the non-selective hypothesis indicates that the manifestation of non-selective lexical access in reading is not constrained by top-down effects from semantic context.

Studien syftar till att ge insikt i lärares kunskaper och erfarenheter kring särbegåvade elever, samt lärares möjligheter att identifiera dessa elever. Den tidigare forskningen som ligger till grund för studien visar att det är en tydlig skillnad mellan högpresterande elever och särbegåvade elever. Den tidigare forskningen diskuterar också olika personlighetsdrag hos särbegåvade elever och hur man identifierar dessa, samt lärarens betydelse för dessa elevers utveckling i skolan. Baserat på tre intervjuer av lärare kan man se att erfarenheter och kunskaper inom området särbegåvning skiljer sig åt hos lärarna, något som forskningen också poängterar. Vidare visar också resultaten att de undersökta lärarna har vissa svårigheter med att identifiera särbegåvade elever, samt att skilja dessa från högpresterande elever. Den tidigare forskningen, tillsammans med resultaten från denna studie, visar att individanpassad undervisning tydligt måste förankras i skolan för att skolan skall lyckas med sitt uppdrag med att stimulera alla elever och låta alla elever utvecklas. Utan kunskaper inom området särbegåvning hos lärarna visar studien att den svenska skolan inte kan lyckas med att vara ’ en skola för alla’.
