    IT-system anvĂ€nds dagligen av mĂ€nniskor i deras arbete för att underlĂ€tta och stödja dem. Det har blivit ett merdigitalt samhĂ€lle och de flesta myndigheter och organisationer anvĂ€nder sig av IT-system för att bland annat effektivisera det dagliga arbetet. Detta kan medföra att komplexiteten ökar i interaktionen mellan anvĂ€ndare och IT-system och dĂ€rmed stĂ€lla högre krav pĂ„ systemet. Tidigare kunskap lyfter fram det viktiga arbetet med anvĂ€ndarna nĂ€r man inför ett nytt IT-system i en organisation, men trots detta framkommer det i media att misslyckade IT-projekt Ă€r vanligt. Projektledningen har ofta höga krav pĂ„ sig, och att anvĂ€ndarna ska involveras Ă€r ett av dessa. Att tid-och kostnadsfrĂ„gor anses vara viktigare Ă€n anvĂ€ndarna kan vara en anledning varför införande av IT-system misslyckas, eftersom det inte har anpassats till dessa anvĂ€ndare. Detta vĂ€ckte ett intresse hos oss och det var att undersöka hur tidigare forskning förhĂ„ller sig till verkligheten. Anser projektledningen att det Ă€r viktigt att involvera anvĂ€ndarna ett projekt? Vilka olika roller kan anvĂ€ndarna ha i ett projekts olika faser? VĂ„rt syfte med denna studie Ă€r att kartlĂ€gga hur projektledningen organiserar ett projekt vidinförandet av ett verksamhetsstödjande system. Vi vill Ă€ven undersöka hur projektledningen ser pĂ„ att involvera anvĂ€ndarna för att kunna fĂ„ ett lyckat införande. UtifrĂ„n olika personers perspektiv i projektledningen vill vi undersöka hur anvĂ€ndarnas roller kan se uti ett projekts olika faser. Detta undersökte vi med hjĂ€lp av en empirisk undersökning genomförd pĂ„ ett projekt som pĂ„gick i Norrköpings kommun, dĂ€r det nya IT-systemet Treserva skulle införas i vĂ„rd-och omsorgsenheterna. UtifrĂ„n resultatet av vĂ„r analys har vi kommit fram till att projektledningen anser att anvĂ€ndarna Ă€r viktiga i arbetet med att införa ett IT-system. De har fĂ„tt vara involverade frĂ„n början av projektet och har dĂ€rmed kunnat pĂ„verka det. AnvĂ€ndarna har fĂ„tt olika roller i projektets olika faser, till exempel som kravstĂ€llare, testare samt superanvĂ€ndare. Projektledningen har dĂ€rmed haft anvĂ€ndarna i fokus, vilket kan vara en framgĂ„ngsfaktor vid införandet av Treserva. Delar av projektledningen kommer ifrĂ„n verksamheterna i vĂ„rd-och omsorgsenheterna vilket vi anser kan vara en av anledningarna till att fokus har legat pĂ„ anvĂ€ndarna.IT systems are used daily by people to facilitate and support them. It has become a more digital society and most agencies and organizations use IT systems to streamline their work. This can lead to increased complexity in the interaction between users and IT systems and therefore is it expected high requirements on the IT-system. Previous knowledge highlights the important work of the users when introducing a new IT system in an organization, but despite this, it becomes clear in the media that failed IT projects is common. The project management has often high demands on themselves, and that the users should be involved is one of these. The time and cost issues in an IT-project are considered more important than the users. One reason why IT systems' introduction can fail is that they are not adapted to the users. This aroused interest among us to investigate how previous knowledge relates to the reality. Does the project management believe that it’s important to involving the users in a project? What are the different roles the users can have in a project? Our purpose of this study is to identify how the project management organize a project. We also want to see how the management looks to involve users in order to have a successful implementation. Based on different people’s perspectives in the project management we want to see what different roles the users can have in a project's various phases. We investigated these phenomena with the help of an empirical study conducted on a project that lasted in Norrköpings municipality, where the new IT-system Treserva would be introduced in the care units. Based on the results of our analysis, we concluded that the project management believes that the users are important in the process of introducing an IT-system. They've been involved from the beginning of the project and could have affected it. Users are given different roles in the different phases, such as the standards authority, testers and super user. The project management has had the users in mind through the project, which can be a factor leading to success in introducing Treserva. Parts of the project management come from the activities of the care units, which we believe may be one of the reasons that the focus has been on the users

    In this paper we present the first results of the application of computational methods, inspired by the ideas in McMahon & McMahon (2005), to a dataset collected from languages of every branch of the Tupian family (including all living non-TupĂ­-GuaranĂ­ languages) in order to produce a classification of the family based on lexical distance. We used both a Swadesh list (with historically stabler terms) and a list of animal and plant names for results comparison. In addition, we also selected more (HiHi) and less (LoLo) stable terms from the Swadesh list to form sublists for indepedent treatment. We compared the resulting NeighborNet networks and neighbor-joining cladograms and drew conclusions about their significance for the current understanding of the classification of Tupian languages. One important result is the lack of support for the currently discussed idea of an Eastern-Western division within Tup

    Public access to research data in language documentation: Challenges and possible strategies

    The Open Access Movement promotes free and unfettered access to research publications and, increasingly, to the primary data which underly those publications. As the field of documentary linguistics seeks to record and preserve culturally and linguistically relevant materials, the question of how openly accessible these materials should be becomes increasingly important. This paper aims to guide researchers and other stakeholders in finding an appropriate balance between accessibility and confidentiality of data, addressing community questions and legal, institutional, and intellectual issues that pose challenges to accessible data
