As a consequence of the exposure of scandals involving targeted advertising and data collection, privacy concerns have arisen among users of social media, in particular Facebook. Previous research studies demonstrate that consumers have little knowledge about online behavioural advertising and hold misconceptions about it. According to a recent study by Internetstiftelsen (2021), 85% of Swedish internet users are concerned about big companies collecting data about them, and most people are unaware of the extent to which their online behaviour and activities are monitored. This study aims to examine how Swedish users on Facebook experience the platform's advertisements that are tailored to them. Moreover, this study also explores users’ privacy concerns in relation to advertising on the platform. To implement this study, qualitative interviews have been carried out with eight respondents in the age group 30-50 years of age. The interviews were transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis to answer the study’s research questions. The theoretical frameworks that have been implemented in this study are the “Big brother effect”, the panopticon effect and the digital panopticon. These concepts about surveillance have been complemented by previous research on algorithmic decision-making technologies, privacy concerns, perceptions about targeted advertising and personalisation. Based on the conducted interviews in this study, the results show that Swedish people between the ages of 30-50 years feel that they are being monitored on the platform and this, in turn, raised concerns about a violation of privacy among some of the users, in particular when they feel that Facebook monitors private conversations or intercept them. Participants in this study are more concerned about how much and what data Facebook collects rather than data being utilised for commercial purposes. The result further showed that most of the respondents do not read Facebook's terms and policies even though they claim that they do not trust Facebook with their personal information. Users in this study experience that there is too much advertising on Facebook, while also finding it more pleasant and preferable to get ads that are based on their interests and behaviour rather than receiving randomised ads. / Som en följd av att skandaler med riktad reklam och datainsamling avslöjats har det uppstått oro kring integriteten bland användare på sociala medier, särskilt på Facebook. Tidigare forskningsstudier visar att konsumenterna har lite kunskap om beteendestyrd reklam på nätet och har felaktiga uppfattningar om den. Enligt en nyligen genomförd undersökning från Internetstiftelsen (2021), är 85% av svenska internetanvändare oroliga över att stora företag samlar in uppgifter om de och de flesta är omedvetna om i vilken utsträckning deras beteende och aktiviteter på nätet övervakas. Den här studien syftar till att undersöka hur svenska användare på Facebook upplever plattformens annonser som är skräddarsydda för dem. Vidare undersöker denna studie även användarnas oro för integritet i relation till reklam på plattformen. För att genomföra denna studie har kvalitativa intervjuer genomförts med åtta respondenter i åldersgruppen 30-50 år. Intervjuerna transkriberades och analyserades med hjälp av tematisk analys för att besvara studiens forskningsfrågor. De teoretiska ramverk som har implementerats i denna studie är "Big brother-effekten", panoptikon-effekten och det digitala panoptikonet. Dessa begrepp om övervakning har kompletterats med tidigare forskning om algoritmiskt beslutsfattande teknologier, oro för integritet, uppfattningar om riktad reklam och personlig marknadsföring. Baserat på de genomförda intervjuerna i den här studien visar resultaten att svenskar i åldrarna 30-50 år känner att de övervakas på plattformen och detta i sin tur väckte oro för kränkning av integriteten hos vissa av användarna, särskilt när de känner att Facebook övervakar privata samtal eller avlyssnar dem. Respondenterna i denna studie är mer oroade över hur mycket och vilka uppgifter Facebook samlar in snarare än att uppgifterna används i kommersiella syften. Vidare visade resultatet att de flesta av de tillfrågade inte läser Facebooks villkor och policyer trots att de hävdar att de inte litar på Facebook när det gäller deras personliga information. Användarna i denna studie upplever att det ibland blir för mycket reklam på Facebook, samtidigt som de tycker att det är bättre att få annonser som är baserade på deras intresse och beteende snarare än att få slumpmässiga annonser.

[pt] Hoje em dia, como em um passe de mágica, o aparecer na televisão pode reconfigurar o significado da própria existência (para si mesmo e para os outros). Talvez por isso, ser o foco dos olhares tenha virado uma prioridade de muitos, sendo quase como um emprego: uma forma de ganhar dinheiro, subir na vida, alcançar a tão almejada fama, ou se preferir, virar uma celebridade. Não importa muito o nome que se dá a este tipo de conquista, mas a que preço ela é obtida. Neste estudo, analisamos um reality show, que - semelhante à maioria dos programas televisivos atuais - tem como principal finalidade conquistar audiência. A fórmula do sucesso desta atração uniu o útil ao agradável, tornando o privado, público e, ainda, garantindo a satisfação da curiosidade sobre a intimidade alheia. O interesse do espectador por consumir os bastidores de outros cotidianos em seu grau mais restrito, de certa forma, se expressa pelo desejo de comparar-se e observar o quanto sua própria intimidade se aproxima de outras. O Big Brother Brasil vem mostrar que todos têm chance, e estimula a possibilidade de concretização deste sonho ao convocar pessoas comuns e anônimas para fazer parte do seu cenário em troca do confinamento por alguns meses e da exposição estereotipada de diversos comportamentos. Se essa troca é justa ou não, não pretendemos julgar, mas o fato é que ela existe, é aceita e desejada. / [en] Nowadays, as if by magic, to be on a television show could change the meaning of one´s life. That is maybe the reason why, for many people, it is now a priority to be in focus. It is somewhat like having a job, a way of getting money, of climbing socially, of rising to fame, or, one may say, of becoming a celebrity. It does not really matter how to label this kind of achievement, but what matters is at what cost it is achieved. This study aims to analyze a reality show whose main purpose is to reach a wide audience - as happens with most of the current television shows. The success of such a show lies in turning the private public and, in the process, satisfying one´s curiosity about other people´s intimacy. The viewer´s interest in peering at other people´s life in a way expresses his wish to make comparisons with his own life and to observe how much people´s intimacy resembles his own. Big Brother Brazil shows that everybody has opportunities and encourages the achievement of one´s dreams by recruiting ordinary, anonymous people to be part of it. In exchange, they have to be confined for some months and show a stereotyped kind of behavior. We can not judge whether this exchange is fair, but it is actually real and it is approved and anticipated.

This study offers a rhetorical analysis of George Jackson’s Soledad Brother, informed by class critical and critical race theory. Recent rhetorical studies scholarship has taken up the problem of prisons, mass incarceration, and resultant issues of race, yet without paying attention to the nexus of black radicalism and criticisms of capital. This study views George Lester Jackson as a rhetorician in his own right and argues that his combination of critical race and class critical perspectives is an important move forward in the analysis of mass incarceration. Jackson is able to combine these ideas in a plain-writing style where he employs intimacy, distance, and the strategy of telling it like it is. He does this in epistolary form, calling forth a long tradition of persuasive public letter writing. At this study’s end, ideas of circulation re engaged to show the lines of influence Jackson has and may continue to have. Through rhetorical analysis of Soledad Brother, this study demonstrates the utility of uniting class critical criticism and critical race theory for rhetorical studies, and suggests further avenues of research consistent with this approach.

<p>Mentoring has gained a great deal of popularity across various professional fields and disciplines over the past few years. More recently, planned mentoring has become an important form of intervention with young people (Philip, 2003).

Ju fler servrar, med olika konfigurationer och olika system, som blir medlemmar i ett nätverk, desto svårare och osmidigare blir det att övervaka nätverksmiljön. Men om man använder sig av ett övervakningssystem, som tar emot information från flera servrar, blir det lättare att få en överblick om hur allt fungerar och samtidigt som det går snabbare att få information om felmeddelanden, som man sedan kan åtgärda. I detta dokument tar vi upp olika typer av övervakningssystem som finns ute på marknaden idag, våren 2008. Bland dessa hittar vi t.ex. SCOM 2007, BigBrother, Nagios och Mon. Vi har inte begränsat oss till ett specifikt operativsystem, utan vi tar upp övervakningssystem som passar till Windows och/eller Linux/Unix. Utifrån den information vi hittat om varje övervakningssystem och de kriterier som Valderas Consulting AB vill att systemen ska uppfylla, har vi valt ut tre stycken övervakningssystem som vi tycker passar bäst. Dessa system har vi sen, ett och ett, testat i ett litet nätverk där vi utsätter det för en del scenarior som kan hända ute på företag som t.ex. trasig anslutning, för full hårddisk och kraschat operativsystem. De tre övervakningssystem vi tyckte höjde sig över mängden var SCOM 2007, Big Brother 4 och Nagios. Efter att ha testat vart och ett av dessa tre tycker vi att Nagios är det klart bästa. Det är användarvänligt i installationen, konfigurationen samt i övervakningen. En annan stor fördel med Nagios är att det är gratis, dvs. open source. Om ens datormiljö enbart innehåller Windows-datorer och en domän, passar SCOM 2007 bäst, då Nagios måste installeras på en Linux/Unix-dator. Big Brother 4 var bra det med, men faller bort pga. att det inte är gratis, färre testmöjligheter på nätverket och fungerade inte helt bra med att övervaka Linux/Unixdatorer. / The more servers you install in your network, which utilize different types of configurations and operative systems, the harder it gets to monitor the entire network. But if you use a monitoring system to monitor the network it will get much simpler. The monitoring system gathers information from all of your hosts and servers on your network and warns you if something is wrong or not working properly. In this document we will describe many of the monitoring systems that are out on the market today, spring 2008. Among these monitoring systems are: SCOM, BigBrother, Nagios, and Mon. We have not focused on a single operating system, but rather we have gathered information about monitoring systems that can be installed on Windows and/or Linux/Unix environments. From the information, which we have gathered about each monitoring system, and the criteria that Valderas Consulting AB gave us, we have focused on three monitoring systems that seem to be the best. We have installed these systems, one at a time, on a server that’s part of a small network, and run several tests, such as failure to the network and an operating system crash, to see how each system handles these failures in a real life environment. We thought that SCOM 2007, Big Brother 4, and Nagios were the best amongst the systems we looked at. After testing each one of them, we think that Nagios is the best. It is userfriendly regarding installation, configuration, and monitoring. One big advantage with Nagios is that it is free of charge, open source. If you have a computer-environment that contain computers with Windows, and you only have one domain, then SCOM 2007 is the system for you to choose, because Nagios only works if it is installed on a computer with Linux/Unix. Big Brother 4 was also ok, but it had some issues. It is not free of charge, and it did not have as many tests, to run on the network-units, as Nagios. We also had some problem, with Big Brother 4, regarding monitoring computers with Linux/Unix.
