The majority of all fictional writing is eventually forgotten by history. Only a few works and authorships become immortal. Why is that? What is it that generates and inhibits literary value? These are questions that Anna Forssberg and Anna Linzie try to answer in their research.
Anna Forssberg is a docent in Comparative Literature and Anna Linzie is a senior lecturer in English at Karlstad University.

We would propose a back-to-back panel, from the Global Gender Matters (GGM) Network, based at the Department of Gender Studies, Lund University. We are an interdisciplinary group of scholars, who work on multiple scopes and scales of empirical and theoretical frameworks on local and global issues through a gendered and feminist lens.

The aim of the project is to generate a theory of gaps in narrative media. According to phenomenological reader-response theory, narratives are by nature riddled with empty spaces, or gaps, which the reader has to fill in to create meaning based on what is read or seen (Iser [1972] 1974). Also for graphic novels there is a need for imagining what happens in the empty spaces in and between the panels (Groensteen 2007).

In the DRIVE project, a common test environment with industry partner Varnish Software has now been installed. The tests will measure the impact of different network connections on latency and bandwidth during video streaming.
Since mid-December, latency and bandwidth testing has been ongoing in Karlstad University's 5G testbed. A server is connected to several network connections at the same time to compare their performance.

We are welcomming Johan Högberg, PhD candidate in Psychology working on gamification in shops at Karlstad University Service Research Centre. At Information Systems Johan will help in several classes; for spring 2016 it will be database design and courses on different web technologies.Johan's engagement at Information Systems will run between 10-20% each semester.
Johan Högberg is preparing for the database design courses guided by Katarina Groth.
The transition from a closed to an open academic publishing landscape has provided greater opportunities for researchers to reach as many stakeholders as possible with their research. At the same time, the transition has meant that the costs of publishing have shifted from readers to researchers, universities, and research funders.Today, university libraries have a large number of publishing agreements that allow researchers to publish for free or at a discounted cost.

Many aspects of medicine and health care are transformed by the ongoing digitisation. Many of the Information Systems group’s researchers have been involved or are involved in research within this area. In the year 2018 we hosted the IEEE conference Computer-Based Medical Systems (CBMS 2018).
To achieve better effects in healthcare, new technological innovations should be implemented alongside structural changes.
We often associate the word “innovation” with the roll-out of a new product, the success or failure of which is determined by market forces.
To interviewees in the research project ’Transnational bachelors. An ethnography on singledom among migrated men in the European Union’
