Abstract: Recreational fishing is one of popular outdoor activities and a growing business in Sweden. However, preceding researches had shown that recreational fisheries may contribute to overfishing as much as commercial fisheries. One of the ways to reduce anglers’ impact on fish populations is the practice of releasing caught fish (catch and release; C&R). C&R is often seen as an ethical and sustainable way of fishing that supports fish conservation. Anglers may obtain C&R information and guidelines from different sources, such as fishing club, fishing magazines, state agencies. As the internet is increasingly becoming an important source for anglers to obtain updated fishing information, fishing tourism operators could be a principal actor to provide C&R information and guidelines through their websites. At the same time there is lack of information on the presence and quality of C&R information at Swedish websites. As international tourists are important group of anglers that use tourism operators’ services, and due to the language limitation of the author, this study focused on websites in English language. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the presence and quality of C&R information and guidelines in English language provided by fishing tourism operators’ websites in Sweden. The study followed the quantitative content analysis approach by assigning categories and counting the frequencies in the text found on the fishing tourism operators’ websites. First, the websites were scanned to check if C&R information was present. Then, the number of clicks needed to retrieve this information was counted to measure its accessibility. Finally, a C&R information quality score was calculated by adding up scores based on different type and quality of the information found on the websites, including 12 criteria of the C&R best practice guidelines developed by Sims and Danylchuk (2017). The study found that 66 out of 151 analyzed websites provided C&R information and guidelines which generally easily  accessed (two clicks on average). However, in general the websites had a low average quality score of the C&R information and guidelines. Moreover, there was a high variability in how the information was presented on the websites, suggesting lack of standardized guidelines that fishing tourism operators could refer to. Consequently, there is a need to encourage and support more fishing tourism operators to provide a high quality C&R information and guidelines on their websites.

abstract: The boom in publicly-funded sports facility construction since the 1980s resulted in studies that generally found the economic benefits accruing from facility construction do not justify the costs. However, focusing narrowly on economic costs in large cities leaves out an important part of the story. The author is interested in the possible non-economic benefits to a city from having a sports team and stadium, and focuses on determining any relationship between minor league teams and stadiums and community self-image. The methodology for this review is an assessment of the websites – primarily the website's front page – for 42 cities with minor league baseball teams. In addition, a survey of local government officials provides a layer of corroboration for the website review results. Through this assessment, the author brings together elements that contribute to three different fields – facility financing, e-government, and small and mid-sized cities. The website reviews have two elements. First, the author assesses the extent to which the website provides information about the team and stadium on the front page or a website page within two links from the front page. The result is that a relatively low amount of information about teams and stadiums is available on the 42 city websites. Second, the author assesses all the active links on the website front page and categorize the links regarding whether they are primarily directed toward residents, businesses, or tourists. On average 67 percent of the links on the 42 city websites' front pages are directed toward residents. In addition to the website reviews, the author reports on a survey of local government executives and managers regarding the city websites. The key findings from the survey are that residents are the group of most interest to the website creators; the websites' content and appearance generally are intended to reflect the communities' self-image, and; in general, the low amount of information about the teams and stadiums on the website front page accurately represents the importance of the teams and stadiums to communities' self-image. The survey results generally corroborate the website reviews. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Public Administration 2012

The aim of this diploma thesis is to create an educational portal designed to support the teaching of physics at the elementary school with the use of standard web design methods. The purpose of the portal will be to simplify the preparation of teachers for experimental teaching at the 2nd level of elementary schools through a database of experiments and other materials such as videos. The benets of this portal will be veried and evaluated through in-depth interviews with physics teachers at the 2nd grade of elementary schools. One part of the thesis is also an analysis and evaluation of similar web projects dealing with physics teaching. In the rst part of my thesis, I deal with the analysis and evaluation of similar web projects. The next part is focused on the design and creation of the educational portal itself and contains brief information about the design methods and the procedures of creation. In the next section, I will deal with the creation of content for the portal and nally, I will interview the teachers who used the created educational web.

Software metrics are a useful tool for assessing software quality and for making predictions. But currently the interpretation of the measured values is based on personal experience and gut feeling. Not much information is available about thresholds and possible ranges of the metric values. In order to be able to define thresholds on which general recommendations could be based, quantitative data has to be obtain for allowing statistical evaluations and further investigations. So far the collection of test projects requires significant manual interaction for downloading and describing metadata. This thesis describes a process for automatically obtaining, storing and maintaining a large number of open software projects from SourceForge.NET [1]. The projects are stored in a local folder structure; the meta-data is stored in a local database. The process is automated as far as possible, repeatable, transparent, extendible and flexible.

La présente étude analyse les sites de rencontre en ligne, et plus spécifiquement : l’interprétation que les internautes Chiliens réalisent de ces espaces virtuels ; les interactions qui se produisent à l’intérieur de ces sites web; et, le sens que les utilisateurs nationaux donnent à leurs interactions. Pour apporter des réponses à ces objectifs, il a fallu non seulement recourir à une série de méthodes de récolte et d’analyse d’information, mais aussi replacer les données générées dans une ample discussion théorique sur l’amour et les relations de couple. Ainsi, dans la première partie de cette étude, on s’analyse l’amour à partir de ses principaux mythes et récits. Deuxièmement, nous effectuons un parcours dans la constitution historique et sociologique des relations de couple. Pour finaliser la première partie de cette étude, nous établions les implications épistémologiques, méthodologiques et éthiques de l’investigation sur Internet; et, en même temps, se présente les étapes, procédures et techniques pour la récolte et l’analyse d’information empirique. La deuxième partie de cette étude traite les résultats de l’investigation. Dans cette section est présenté brièvement le contexte national dans lequel émergent les sites de rencontre; ensuite, nous cherchons l’opinion qu’ont les internautes Chiliens sur les sites web de rencontre. Puis, est décrit le début des interactions virtuelles et est démontré comment celles-ci suivent les paramètres similaires à la conquête offline. Postérieurement, est abordé le passage du online au offline. La dernière étape de cette description est le « post rendez-vous». Enfin, sont établies quelques réflexions sur l’utilisation différenciée de ces sites de rencontres que font les femmes et les hommes. Finalement, en conclusion de cette étude un retour est fait sur les problématiques de l’investigation. Est expliqué dans ce passage que les sites de rencontre sont un espace ambiguë pour les Chiliens, source de méfiance et mais aussi de désir et d’espoir de trouver cette personne spéciale, pour établir une relation d’« une nuit» (éphémère) ou d’un « pour toujours». Aussi, est signalé que les interactions numériques qui émergent à partir de sites de rencontre, participent aux tendances sociales, culturelles et économiques propres à l’amour moderne, qui permettent que les personnes conjuguent, non pas sans un certain degré de conflit, raison et émotion dans la recherche de partenaire. Pour terminer, il est affirmé que l’« amour romantique» est un cadre de sens utilisé –particulièrement par les femmes-à l’intérieur des sites de rencontre, et que donc il est possible de affirmer que: l’amour survit à Internet. / This study analyzes the pages of online dating, more specifically, the interpretation that Chilean surfers perform these virtual spaces; interactions that occur within these web portals; and the sense that national users associate with their interactions. To answer these objectives not only a number of methods of collection and analysis of information is used, but in turn, the data generated is inserted in a wide theoretical discussion about love and relationships. Thus, in the first part of this work, the imagery of love is analyzed from its main myths and stories. Subsequently the historical and sociological constitution of relationships is analyzed. Epistemological, methodological and ethical implications of research on the Internet are discussed to end the first part of this study; and, in turn, the present the steps, procedures and techniques for the collection and analysis of empirical data. The second part of this study are the results of research. This section briefly presents the national context in which the pages of encounter emerge ; Of course, the opinion held by Chilean internet websites on matchmaking; then the start of virtual interaction is described and shown as follows this achievement similar to the offline parameters; subsequently, the transition from online to offline; the last stage of this description is the "post-date"; to complete the second part of this work, and as a corollary, some reflections on the differentiated use that men and women dating sites are established. Finally, the conclusions of this study returns to the research questions. Here it is stated that dating sites are an ambiguous space for Chilean source of distrust, along with also being a place of desire and hope of finding that "special" person, or places to establish a one-night stand or a long-term relationship. In turn, it noted that digital interactions that arise from the meeting pages, participate in their own social, cultural and economic trends of modern love, which enables people to combine, not without some degree of conflict, reason and emotion in matchmaking. And finally, it states that "romantic love" is a framework of meaning used by people, especially the women within the meeting pages, and therefore it is possible to note that love survives the Internet. / El presente estudio analiza las páginas de citas online, más específicamente: la interpretación que los internautas chilenos realizan de estos espacios virtuales; las interacciones que ocurren al interior de estos portales webs;y, el sentido que los usuarios nacionales asocian a sus interacciones. Para dar respuesta a estoss objetivosno sólo se recurre a una serie de métodos de recolección y análisis de información, sino que a su vez se insertan los datos generados en una amplia discusión teórica sobre el amor y las relaciones de pareja. La segunda parte de este estudio son los resultados de investigación. En esta sección se presenta brevemente el contexto nacional en el cual surgen las páginas de encuentro; luego, se indagala opinión que tienen los internautas chilenos sobre los sitios websde búsqueda de pareja. Acontinuación, se describe el inicio de las interacciones virtuales y se demuestra cómo ésta sigue parámetros similares a la conquista offline;posteriormente, se aborda el paso de lo onlinea lo offline; la última etapa de esta descripción es la «post-cita».Para finalizar la segunda parte de este trabajo, y a modo de corolario, se establecen algunas reflexiones sobre el uso diferenciado que hacen hombres y mujeres de las páginas de citas. Por último, en las conclusiones de este estudio se vuelve sobre las preguntas de investigación. Aquí se afirma que las páginas de citas son un espacio ambiguo para los chilenos, fuente de desconfianza, son también motivo de deseo y de esperanza de encontrar a esa persona «especial»para establecer una relación de una noche o de una para siempre. A su vez, se señala que las interacciones digitales que surgen a partir de las páginas de encuentro participan de las tendencias sociales, culturales yeconómicas propias del amor moderno, la cual permite que las personas conjuguen, no sin algún grado de conflicto, razón y emoción en la búsqueda de pareja. Por último, se afirma que el «amor romántico» es un marco de sentido utilizado por las personas –Es pecialmente las mujeres – al interior de las páginas de encuentro, y que por tanto, es posible afirmar que: el amor sobrevive a Internet.

[pt] O surgimento da Internet gerou grandes e importantes modificações ao redor mundo. No que concerne aos relacionamentos interpessoais, possibilitou a emergência de novos tipos de relacionamentos: os virtuais. Esses ocorriam, principalmente, nos chats nos quais os usuários se comunicavam. Algum tempo depois, surgiram os chamados sites de relacionamentos. Esses têm por objetivo proporcionar um espaço virtual para a procura de parceiros amorosos. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo investigar os motivos pelos quais homens e mulheres estão utilizando o maior dos sites de relacionamentos: o Par Perfeito. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, na qual foram entrevistados 16 usuários do Par Perfeito. A análise dos seus depoimentos revela que eles decidiram cadastrarse no site porque desejavam conhecer pessoas do sexo oposto para terem um relacionamento amoroso no mundo real. As principais vantagens apontadas para a utilização do site é a crença, por parte dos usuários, de que: (1) a aproximação é mais fácil no Par Perfeito e a possibilidade de rejeição é encarada de forma menos dolorosa; (2) a grande quantidade de pessoas cadastradas significa uma maior possibilidade de encontrar um parceiro amoroso de qualidade. Ademais, os entrevistados relatam que não deixaram de procurar parceiros fora da Internet e consideram que o Par Perfeito é apenas mais uma forma de conhecer pessoas. Forma essa que eles julgam ser prática, barata e divertida. / [en] The appereance of Internet has brought enormous and important transformations around the world. In matters related to interpersonal relationships, it has allowed the beginning of a new kind of relationship: the virtual relationship. This type of relationship was common, specially, in chats, in which people used to communicate with each other. Some time later, relationship websites appeared. These websites offer a virtual space to stimulate the search for romance partners. The present work aims to investigate the reasons why women and men are using the biggest relationship website in Brazil called Par Perfeito. In order to identify all reasons, it was made a qualitative research, in which 16 Par Perfeito users were interviewed. The analysis of their answers reveals that they decided to subscribe in the website because they wanted to know people from the opposite sex and to have a love relationship in the real world. The main advantage mentioned by the users of the site, is the believe that: (1) the approach is easier in Par Perfeito and the rejection possibility is faced in a less painful way; (2) the large amount of subscribed people means a higher possibility to find a quality romance partner. In addition, the interviewees said that they didn`t stop looking for partners outside the Internet and they believe that Par Perfeito is just an extra way to meet people. A way that they find practical, cheap and funny.

This essay is inspired by an earlier essay written in 2012 by Sanna Johansson and Erika Winther. In their essay they examined Sweden’s municipalities’ tourist websites and graded these based on a number of Web 2.0 criterias. In this essay we examine tourist websites belonging to the 15 most popular tourist destinations in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and Ireland. The purpose of this study is to give a general overview of how far these countries’ tourist websites have come in terms of web development, in relation to Web 2.0. By observing the websites based on a number of criteria, we place them on a scale between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. Some examples of criteria that are being studied are whether the websites are interactive and if the destinations make use of social media. We also examine whether there is a correlation between a country’s tourism revenue and its’ tourist websites. The results show that the mean value of all observed websites is Web 1.4. None of the examinated websites can be categorized as Web 2.0. The results also show that the countries are similar in terms of web development, apart from Northern Ireland and Wales where the scores are substantially lower than the other countries’. There is some correlation between a country’s tourism revenue and its tourist websites in terms of web development. The country that has recieved the highest score in our study is also the country that has the highest tourism revenues, and vice versa. / Denna uppsats har sin utgångspunkt i en kandidatuppsats skriven år 2012 av Sanna Johansson och Erika Winther. I deras uppsats observerade de svenska kommunernas turistwebbplatser och gav dessa en gradering utifrån hur pass mycket de uppfyllde olika kriterier för Web 2.0. I denna uppsats studerar vi istället turistwebbplatser tillhörande de 15 mest populära resmålen i Sverige, Norge, Danmark, England, Skottland, Nordirland, Wales och Irland. Syftet med studien är att få en generell uppfattning om hur långt dessa länders turistwebbplatser har kommit i webbutvecklingen. Genom att observera webbplatserna, undersöker vi utifrån ett antal kriterier hur långt dessa har kommit i webbutvecklingen i relation till Web 2.0. Beroende på hur många kriterier en webbplats uppfyller placeras den på en skala mellan Web 1.0 och Web 2.0. Exempel på kriterier som har undersökts är om webbplatserna är interaktiva och om de är kopplade till sociala medier. Studien undersöker även om det finns ett samband mellan ett lands turistintäkter och dess turistwebbplatser. Resultatet visar att medelvärdet för samtliga studerade turistwebbplatser är Web 1.4. Ingen av webbplatserna kan kategoriseras som Web 2.0. Resultatet visar att webbutvecklingen inte skiljer sig nämnvärt mellan de olika länderna, bortsett från Nordirland och Wales som visar på låga resultat. Det finns en viss korrelation mellan ländernas turistintäkter och deras turistwebbplatser. Det land som fått högst resultat i vår undersökning är även det land som har högst turistintäkter, och likväl är det land som fått lägst resultat i vår undersökning det land som har minst turistintäkter.

In this degree project I have studied how an anti-discrimination bureau can adapttheir online information to the target group – immigrants who only have modestunderstanding of the Swedish language. This group is often subject of discriminationmatters, and therefore it’s important that they can take part of the information.To find answers to my questions I have studied different relevant theories, performeda readability analysis on the online information and have had qualitativeinterviews with representatives from the target group. I have also tested my rewrittentexts on both representatives and other readers.The result from my studies has shown that it is words that are the most difficult inthe current online information, while length and structure of the sentences are alsoof importance when it comes to the readability. In the re-written information Ihave focused on explaining difficult words and writing simpler sentences. / Det här examensarbetet handlar om att anpassa en diskrimineringsbyrås webbtexterför nyanlända invandrare med måttliga kunskaper i svenska. Gruppen är oftautsatt för diskriminering och det är därför viktigt att de kan ta del av byråns information.För att finna svaren på mina frågeställningar har jag studerat olika relevanta teorier,genomfört kvalitativa intervjuer med representanter för målgruppen samtgjort en läsbarhetsanalys på webbtexterna. En utprovning av de bearbetade texternahar också ägt rum, både med representativa personer från målgruppen ochandra läsare.Jag kom fram till att det som var svårt i de nuvarande webbtexterna var främstorden, och även till viss del meningslängd och meningsuppbyggnad. I de omskrivnatexterna har jag därför fokuserat på att förklara svåra ord och att skrivaenklare meningar.

It has become more important how to communicate via the Internet. It is necessary to highlight interesting features and to capture the visitors interest. Members of Jönköping Sport dance club (JSDK) were not quite satisfied with their website. The purpose of this study was therefore to create a design for a website which met the demands made by the members and also appealed to other visitors.

Detta är en avhandling om hur vi utfört ett projekt som ger vår kund Ninetech en enkel översikt av loggar. Letande av specifik information såsom loggar i stora system kan vara tidskrävande. Så var fallet för företaget Ninetech. Företagets vilja var därav att ha en webbplats för att presentera loggar i ett översiktligt format. Webbplatsens syfte var att underlätta och minska tiden vid letande efter loggar. Att förkorta tiden är viktigt eftersom loggarna innehåller värdefull information som företaget använder för att lösa supportärenden. Webbplatsen som skapats är en fullständig produkt som levererats till företaget och körs i produktion. I projektet har vi haft en nära kontakt med kund, därav har en agil metod tillämpats. Som resultat har webbplatsen tillfört behovet att finna loggar snabbt och enkelt. Webbplatsen har blivit en del av Ninetechs vardagliga arbete. Störst fokus i avhandlingen ägnas åt vyn som presenterar loggar. / This is a dissertation on how we performed a project that gives our customer Ninetech a simple overview of logs. Searching of specific information such as logs in large systems can be time consuming. This was the case for the company Ninetech. Therefore, the company’s will was to have a website to present the logs in a simple format. The website’s purpose was to facilitate and reduce the time when searching for logs. It is important to shorten the time because the logs contain valuable information that the company uses to resolve support issues. The website created is a complete product delivered to the company and is currently running in production. In the project, we have had a close contact with the customer, hence has an agile method applied. As a result, the website has brought the need to find logs quickly and easily. The website has become a part of Ninetech's everyday work. The main focus of the dissertation is devoted to the view that presents logs.
