This paper presents how a plagiarism component has been integrated in a Research Methodology course for Engineering Master students at Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden. The plagiarism issue was approached from an educational perspective, rather than a punitive. The course director and librarians developed this part of the course in close collaboration. One part of the course is dedicated to how to cite, paraphrase and reference, while another part stresses the legal and ethical aspects of research. Currently, the majority of the students are international, which means there are intercultural and language aspects to consider. In order to evaluate our approach to teaching about plagiarism, we conducted a survey. The results of the survey indicate a need for education on how to cite and reference properly in order to avoid plagiarism, a result which is also supported by students' assignment results. Some suggestions are given for future development of the course.

A restaurant's function to families was explored by passive observations of adults and children at convenience restaurants in Sweden. Two burger restaurants and two department store restaurants were visited during 12 months, with 399 people being observed. The restaurants appeared to have different functions to family members. A restaurant's level of convenience should therefore be seen as an entity of several aspects of the visit, such as the menu, the restaurant room and atmosphere. Family members’ use of restaurants facilitates everyday situations with children. Thus, the people observed were creating aspects of convenience by themselves, with the restaurants being like home. The restaurant's overall function to families can therefore be interpreted from the patterns of familiarity and friendliness that emerged.
