To explore greatly varied opinion between player and reviewer, in relation to new products in ongoing digital game series, an analytic perspective is suggested, that takes the entire game series into account, instead of analyzing games (who are part of a series) as individual productions. This is explored further by introducing a model to support this perspective, based on the game theories by Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman, as well as Gordon Calleja. This model and chosen perspective is applied against three separate cases to see whether or not it can give insight into the approach of players (of continuing game series) and the differing opinions of players and reviewers..

AbstractThe purpose of project is to study the possibility for Borås Energy & Environment to build and run a commercial ethanol production facility in Borås. The project also studies the technology for the production of ethanol using renewable energy, e.g. lignocelluloses with focus on two processes, svag-syra hydrolyse and enzymatic hydrolyse. The technology of the process is based of hydrolysation of biomass (hemicelluloses and cellulose) to sugar and extract it to ethanol. These two techniques will compare with each other to determine which of them that it?s more suitable for ethanol production.

Vårt syfte med denna studie var att få en ökad förståelse för hur ett urval yrkesprofessionella, två barnmorskor och en kurator, upplever sitt arbete med gravida missbrukande kvinnor. För att uppfylla vårt syfte har vi genomfört en kvalitativ fokusgruppsintervju med ett tvärprofessionellt team, bestående av kurator och barnmorskor. Som analysverktyg valde vi rollteorin och teorin om X och Y. Våra huvudsakliga resultat är att motivationsarbete är något som är ständigt närvarande och att det familjesociala teamet finner sina arbetsverktyg verkningsfulla. I vårt resultat är det några verktyg som är mer betydelsefulla än andra i arbetet med gravida missbrukare.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka uppfattningar som några förskollärare har kring professionalism i sitt arbete med barn i behov av särskilt stöd. Studien är kvalitativ och intervjuer genomfördes i fokusgrupper samt individuellt. Resultatet visade att uppfattningar kring professionalism i arbete med barn i behov av särskilt stöd var att förskollärarens professionella roll uppfattades utifrån flera kategorier. Dessa kategorier var kunskap, reflektion, barnsyn, inkludering och förhållningssätt. Förskollärarnas uppfattningar om stödet de fick från andra professionella i arbete med barn i behov av särskilt stöd uttrycktes som positivt och väsentligt för att kunna genomföra ett arbete med professionalism.

Works on transparent paper, also commonly known as tracing paper, have been described as ephemeral or temporary working documents and they usually number large quantities in archival and museum collections. They have therefore previously been considered of lower priority and can be found in poor condition due to a lack of treatment or suitable storage prospects. In addition, transparent paper can be very sensitive to moisture and reacts by deformation or loss of transparency. Due to the volume of these works and the necessity of treatment, there is a call for simple and efficient conservation methods. A common solution in archives for the treatment of water-sensitive works on paper has been the use of heat-activated tissues as they can be applied without the introduction of solvents. There is little published about the use of heat-activated tissues on transparent paper and is mentioned only briefly in existing literature.

Uppsatsens syfte är att belysa dramapedagogers olika uppfattningar av att arbeta med konflikthantering i skolan för att fördjupa kunskapen om dramapedagogisk didaktik i sammanhanget.  Ansatsen är inspirerad av fenomenografi och hermeneutik. Empirin analyseras i olika beskrivningskategorier som utgör det så kallade utfallsrummet och söker svaret på frågeställningen:Vilka olika uppfattningar har dramapedagoger av konflikthantering i skolan?Undersökningens fyra beskrivningskategorier består av pedagogiskt förhållningssätt, lyckade exempel, svårigheter och pedagogisk kompetens. Vidare görs en hermeneutisk tolkning där resultatet kopplas till Sternudds (2000) dramapedagogiska perspektiv.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur förskolelärare i förskolan och i förskoleklassen ser och reflekterar på sitt arbete med estetiska uttrycksformer och i vilket syfte de använder dessa i sina verksamheter. Genom tio intervjuer med förskolelärare i förskolan och i förskoleklassen har vi försökt att synliggöra deras tankar, uppfattningar och erfarenheter med arbetet med de estetiska uttrycksformerna. Litteraturen som vi har använt oss av har handlat om estetikens framväxt, estetik som begrepp, teorier och tidigare forskning som berört vårt ämne. Några slutresultat som vi har kommit fram till är att många av pedagogerna som vi har intervjuat har använt sig av estetiska uttrycksformer mer medvetet som en metod för att lära barn andra färdigheter än att utveckla de enskilda estetiska uttrycksformerna. Vi har även sett att pedagogerna i förskolan och förskoleklassen tycker olika vad gäller möjligheter och hinder i arbetet med de estetiska uttrycksformerna.

The main purpose of this essay is to study how classroom interaction can take place in a class for Second Language Learners (SLL).1 I have applied a case study methodology on a linguistic method used by a Teacher in Swedish as Second Language working on a primary school situated in the Southern suburbs of Stockholm. The learning method is based on extensive reading of books which comprehend several learning techniques organized into a process that support the development of linguistic skills such as discussing in a group, writing, reading and thinking in a second language. The methodology applied is based on observations, on an interview with a Teacher in Swedish as Second Language and on a questionnaire answered by 11 students that participated on ?Boksamtal?.Based on a theoretical framework about socio cultural theories on learning and scaffolding,2 I attempt to integrate theory and practice to investigate how the Teacher succeed on applying effective methods for second language learning. Through the analyses of the data is also my intention to emphasize the advantages and disadvantages of such a method.

The objective of this study is to determine if and how Swedish businesses measure the efficiency of their purchasing departments.In this study I have interviewed six medium to large successful companies and asked them· Which ratios they use to measure the efficiency of their purchasing departments· Why they use these ratios and· How the results of these measurements are usedI can conclude that although there are no ratios or other measurements that directly measure the efficiency of purchasing indirect measures do exist.The measures applied are usually the result of demands from management and the results are reported back to management and used to follow development within a particular field of purchasing. Benchmarking, especially external benchmarking, is unusual..

The purpose of this essay is to discuss different memory techniques used by pianists so I can feel secure while performing during concerts. How do pianists learn to memorise music? According to me, are certain memorisation techniques more effective than others? Do pianists use different methods depending on repertoire? To find my answers, I have studied two other pianists? outcomes on the subject as well as applied my chosen memorising techniques on five pieces from different epochs. These techniques include visualising my fingers when they play on the keyboard, listening to the pieces many times, practicing short specific parts one hand at a time, singing the melody while playing the accompaniment, studying the scores without playing, as well as analysing the harmonic sequences..

The purpouse of this study is to find out how and if a Content Managment System (CMS) can benefit from applied User Experience Design (UX).
