This report describes the development of a RESTful web service for mobile applications. The web service makes resources from an existing system called kompetensdatabasen ("the competence database") available. Kompetensdatabasen holds information about the capabilities of consultants and about assignments carried out at the IT consultant business Nethouse AB.The web service was developed according to the principles of REST and ROA (Resource Oriented Architecture) which puts focus on making resources available. The resources are made available through the HTTP protocol and the methods associated with it. This means it was designed to use the same technologies as the world wide web.

Rapporten beskriver arbetsprocessen vid skapandet av animationer som visualiserar flödet i ett avancerat bränslesystem. Arbetet är utfört på uppdrag av Scania Academy. Den frågeställning som arbetet utgått ifrån är:Hur skapar man en visualisering av ett flöde i ett avancerat bränslesystem som är informativt och anpassat för målgruppen?Bakgrunden till arbetet är att Scania tagit fram ett nytt bränslesystem som de är i behov av att hålla utbildning kring. Som stöd till utbildningen vill man med hjälp av animation förklara bränslets flöde.

This thesis deals with the goods classification of the Nordic alcoholmonopolies, viz. Alko in Finland, Rúsdrekkasøla Landsins in the FaroeIslands, Systembolaget in Sweden, Vínbúðin in Iceland, andVinmonopolet in Norway. The focus of the study is the web pages of thecompanies (as they appeared April 10th 2011) and the printed pricecatalogue of Alko, from which information on class division has beenexcerpted. The emphasis lies on the division into product groups and theinformation about origin. Within these facets, which partly overlap insome of the classification systems, the principles of division and thehierarchical relations between classes are studied.

 Det här är en reflexiv rapport som hör till det verk jag har skapat i mitt examensarbete på Högskolan i Skövde. Verket består av ett trettiotal animationer skapade för fyra olika Mobs (Movable Objects), det vill säga icke-spelbara, fientliga karaktärer i datorspel. Rapporten beskriver min arbetsprocess och mina tankar kring verket, och har som syfte att ge en inblick i och om möjligt även ge lärdomar om hur man animerar karaktärer för realtidsstrategispel (RTS) i fantasy-miljö. Det centrala datorspelet för den här rapporten samt verket är Dreamlords ? The Reawakening (Lockpick Entertainment, 2008). De huvudsakliga frågorna jag tar upp i den här rapporten avser hur den generella grafiska stilen i Dreamlords påverkar animationerna, samt hur dessa bör te sig i spelet ? dels de grafiska och designmässiga kraven som har funnits från Lockpick Entertainments sida men även i relation till andra spel av liknande genre.

While the call for regulations against greenhouse gas emissions are louder then ever before, demand for oil is also at an all time high. Oil companies face the dilemma of making sound business without being perceived as environmental villains. In this essay I will examine how BP, one of the largest companies in the world, broke rank with the industry and devoted itself to being an environmental friendly oil company. The actions and motives of this change will be evaluated through up-to-date theories about company motivation to environmental adaptation. We see that BP:s transformation can be well explained through Simone Pulvers theory about the socially embedded company.

In this thesis I focus on the artistry and essential work, behind the scenes that storyboard artists have contributed to, since the early days of film history. The works I will focus on are the important phases of pre-planning of feature films and animated films. I theorize on the aspect of what makes a good story and how it is brought to life on the screen, as well as how the story is actually conveyed with this drawings. The hypothesis maintains the importance of storyboards, as well as defining their main purpose. Using a formalistic point of view and historical argumentation, I examine and compare five different directors´ use of storyboards and how their respective collaborative teams (i.e director of photography, production designer and story artists, editors etc) create each film´s particular nuances and cinematic expressions.

Lean is a production philosophy which is about increased resource use while meeting customer requirements. The foundation of lean comes from Toyota and their production philosophy The Toyota Way. Professor Jeffrey k. Liker has worked with Toyota's production philosophy and Lean for a long time and has created a 4 P model and 14 principles that characterize the Toyota production system (TPS), which many sources refer to.The aim of my work is to study the working procedure of asphalt projects from sales to the laid asphalt with a focus on planning and production management. The goal is to examine how the lean philosophy can be applied in planning and production to simplify the flow of asphalt projects based on Likers model and principles.

Den här uppsatsen handlar om skapandet av animerad 3D-film från idé till färdigt resultat. Även att på uppdrag av en extern beställare av filmen försöka tillgodose dennes önskemål och krav på bästa sätt. Med hjälp av en litteraturstudie och egna kunskaper diskuteras och beskrivs process och genomförande av animering och karaktärsdesign för att slutligen få fram en animerad film som är utformad enligt beställarens önskan..

I den här reflekterande texten studeras det hur ljudet och bilden samspelar med varandra.Med stöd från litteraturstudien som har gjorts om ämnet, en analys av en klassisk Disneyfilm som har utförts genom att studera hur filmmusiken har använts i filmen, och erfarenheter som har erhållits från arbetet med verket har samspelet mellan ljud och bild studerats. Problemställningen för den här reflekterande texten har varit: Hur kan samspelet mellan ljud och bild användas för att förmedla en önskad stämning i de scener vi har valt att skapa? På vilket sätt kan ljudet användas för att binda ihop tagningarna till en enhet? Målet med verket har varit att jag ihop med en annan student vid namn Annette Nielsen ska skapa en pitchfilm till den tilltänkta långfilmenGabriel Glömmer som baseras på barnboken Gabriel Glömmer (Löfgren, 1965). Därefter ska det nystartade företaget Ögongodis Animation med hjälp av denna pitchfilm försöka sälja in idén till svenska medieföretag som SVT och TV4. Slutsatsen av studien som har gjorts i denna reflekterande text visade att med hjälp av musik är det möjligt att förmedla en önskad stämning i en filmsekvens.

The purpose of this study is to analyze picture books from a gender perspective. The books are found in a book box that the libraries send out to preschools. This study is based on the following questions:How are boys and girls portrayed in picture books?Do the picture books encourage or discourage the principles of equality found in the Curriculum for the Pre-School and the equality work conducted in the preschools?I performed a qualitative text and picture analysis of 12 picture books. I used Maria Nikolajeva and Kajsa Wahlströms schedule of typical masculine and feminine qualities and activities when analysing the picture books.

Recent studies show that manufacturing companies to a larger extent use historical cost accounting in their internal accounts, at the expense of calculated costs. The explanation behind this is claimed to be that firms are subject to careful scrutiny by the stock market. Consequently, top management stresses the need of evaluating all parts of the firm from external accounting. However, lower management levels express a general concern that the incentive to invest in machines will decrease. This master thesis aims to investigate whether or not there is an objective reason behind this concern.

Background: Several accounting scandals have caused a development from rules-based to principles-based regulation. Swedish municipalities follow the principle-based recommendations issued by RKR (The Council for Municipal Accounting). An explicit requirement of component depreciation has been introduced prior to 2014. The principles-based regulatory framework raises some choices regarding the introduction and demands that professional judgments are made. There is some risk that comparability decreases.

Around the 1950s an explosive population growth started in the Third World. Parallel with the population growth a global network grew up advocating population control and limited population growth. Sweden had a unique place in that network through a pioneering role promoting the issue in the UN organization. During the 20th century Sweden was a pioneer country in terms of initiatives for population control. Ceylon family planing pilot project was something new in a time when other donors considered family planning be too controversial area for bilateral aid projects.

Our bachelor thesis is a visualisation made in 3D-graphics of how the horserace track in Tingsryd perhaps will look like in the future, complete with a miletrack, steeplechase, and other horserace courses. Today, the race track is only in it?s building phase. The inner field-group in Tingsryd needed presentation material to show their eventual sponsors, so they contacted us at Media Technology, and we instantly decided to give their idea a try..
