Digitalt textiltryck ger mig möjlighet att skapa textilier av hög kvalitet i små upplagor utan begränsningar vad gäller rapportstorlek och färgantal. Jag kan producera hållbara och praktiska textilier med en handgjord känsla. Dessa egenskaper ger tekniken intressanta möjligheter som en överbryggare mellan design och textil konst/konsthantverk. Det ger också stora möjligheter att anpassa formgivningen efter en specifik möbel eller miljö. Detta vill jag utnyttja i mitt arbete.

Bakgrund: Internet och sociala medier är idag en naturlig del av människors vardag och företag lägger allt mer av sin marknadsföringsbudget på att synas i digitala plattformar. Sociala medier har blivit en viktig marknadsföringskanal för e-handelsföretag, vilket har visat sig innebära både möjligheter och hinder. Vidare har tidigare forskning lyft fram goda kundrelationer som en viktig komponent för företags framgång. Samtidigt som det har framkommit att det finns en skillnad mellan hur e-handlare gentemot den traditionella butikshandeln kan skapa relationer med sina kunder, då köpare och säljare aldrig får möjlighet till att mötas ansikte-mot-ansikte.Syfte:Avsikten med denna studie är att analysera hur e-handelsföretag använder sig av sociala medier och huruvida dessa medier möjliggör för e-handlarna att skapa och utveckla kundrelationer. Syftet med studien är även att bidra med rekommendationer för hur e-handelsföretagen kan skapa och utveckla kundrelationer via sociala medier, samt att identifiera och analysera de hinder som begränsar e-handlares användning av sociala medier.Metod:Författarna för denna uppsats har valt att använda sig av en kvalitativ forskningsmetod för att generera en djupare kunskap och analys för forskningsområdet.

Groups that are often referred to as being dismissed in society in general is by some aspects also considered being so in political arenas. A recent compilation of existing research over structurally based objections of gaining power and positions within Swedish parliamentary politics highlight a lack of research considering whether sexual orientation could be such a discriminatory basis. Using a queer theoretical approach, and drawing on concepts such as heteronormativity and homophobia, the principal aim of this essay is to illuminate aspects of local parliamentary political areas where discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation become relevant. In order to do so six in-depth interviews with homosexual politicians have been conducted. Finding a queer potential in certain ideological parliamentary political environments that enable homosexual politicians to be open about their sexual orientation, it still relies upon the individual to be confident enough not to interpret the political context as homophobic and heteronormative..

We want to search knowledge in how teachers with a focus on after-school recreation centre estimate how their own competence is used in after- school recreation center and school and what expectations/apprehensions they have on their profession in the future. In our study we have asked teachers with a focus on after-school recreation center how they estimate that their competence has been used in after-school recreation center during the last three years. The method we have used to illustrate this is the Delphi method Nordänger (2009), where we interviewed eight respondents by e-mail. From the responses, we have found that teachers with a focus on after-school recreation center experience that their skills should get more attention in the school. They want to combine care and pedagogy that supports students' physical, intellectual, social and emotional development.

As the volumes are entering the world of computer graphics the pure volume visualisation becomes a more important tool in for example research and medical applications. But the advance in haptics --- force feedback from the computer --- is behind. In volume haptics no equal to the proxy method so popular in surface haptics has yet emerged. Some implementations of volume haptics even use surfaces as intermediate representations so that surface haptics can be used.The intention of this work was to create natural feeling haptic feedback from volumetric density data using pure volume haptics. The haptic algorithm would be implemented in Reachin API for the Reachin Desktop Display, together with other parts to build up a usable volume visualisation environment.To achieve the feeling of stiffness and friction dependent on tissue type, a proxy based method was developed.

AbstractThis study was meant to cast a light on the use of music-instruments that exists in preschool environments today. Furthermore the purpose was to find out if instruments first and foremost, actually did exist, and what thoughts had been put behind that decision. The focus was directed towards the preschool teachers and their attitudes towards music instruments among preschool children, at the ages 3 to 5 years. The purpose of the study was to understand how preschool teachers thought of activities where music instruments where used. The study was made from interviews with six different preschool teachers from different preschools.

?A designer rarely works alone?. The first sentence of Jonas Löwgren and Erik Stolterman's chapter on design as a social process made me curious. What if a designer worked alone? What are the actual differences between working on a project alone and as part of a group? How would it influence the creative process? What would be different when coming up with ideas, meeting with clients and setting deadlines? Does the influence of another designer stifle the individual creativity or does it actually nurish it? This paper is written to answer these and other questions as well as take you through the creative process of the production of ?Daddy? - the music video..

When a videogame is being played it is rarely a static experience. A videogame can consist of various systems that affect each other in an unpredictable manner which makes the player experience unique for every player.Throughout the years developers of games have used random chance in a games programming to affect the user experience. Sometimes it even goes so far as to having entire games based around the idea of the game itself randomly generating content for a player to experience.This paper will examine randomly generated content in videogames. It will take examples from existing ones and describe how they use it, and reason regarding the benefits and drawbacks of having random chance affect the user experience.The paper will step-by-step examine the purpose of various commonly occurring objects and features of a typical dungeon in an adventure videogame. It will reason around their purpose, and figure out ways to use them in a structured  manner so that we can guarantee that there will be no deadlocks that the player can't overcome.This will range from the environments in rooms, the shape of them, to the objects and creatures that inhabit them, such as locked doors, keys, and bosses.

The big change is a project where I created patterns on fabric. It is a collaborative project with Lotta Niemi. She studied fashion and textile designers and tailors from the Swedish School of Textiles in Borås and University of Technology in Sydney. The collaboration was to create designs on fabric for her upcoming clothing line for women, Fall / Winter 2013. The clothes will be sold online, in stores in Sweden and Japan.For Lotta Niemi?s clothing line, I wanted to create exclusive designs, rich patterns that worked out handmade and digital.

AbstractFörfattare: Margareta Lööf och Annika JönssonTitel: Pedagogisk dokumentation ? begränsningar och digitala möjligheterEngelsk titel: Pedagogical documentation ? limitations and digital possibilitiesAntal sidor: 28Syftet med detta examensarbete är att via kvalitativa intervjuer med öppna frågor, undersöka hur pedagoger i förskolan har förstått att den pedagogiska dokumentationen ska genomföras, hur man ställer sig till den och vad man anser krävs för att den ska bli en mer naturlig del av den dagliga verksamheten i förskolan. Utöver dessa frågor kommer arbetet även att innehålla pedagogers tankar om att använda sig av digitala verktyg i den pedagogiska dokumentationen.Nya och förändrade krav på att det ska finnas systematisk dokumentation i förskolan gör att det nu är många som anser sig arbeta med arbetsverktyget pedagogisk dokumentation. Om man inte fullt ut förstått tankarna bakom den Reggio-Emilia inspirerade pedagogiska dokumentationen, finns det en risk att dokumentationen i allt för stor grad lägger fokus på enskilda barns lärande och utveckling, utan att detta sätts i relation till den verksamhet som erbjuds. Det finns då en risk att bedömning av barn i förskolan ökar, vilket går helt emot läroplanens intentioner.

Vår uppsats fokuserar på data- och tvspelsbranschen med en inriktning på relationerna mellan spelutvecklare och spelutgivare. Bakgrunden till uppsatsen och studien bygger på att maktbalansen mellan spelutvecklare och spelutgivaren faller i favör för spelutgivaren som ofta kontrollerar både finansiering och distribution av en spelproduktion. Detta skapar en situation där spelutvecklaren, som står för den skapande delen av en spelproduktion, har liten till ingen kontroll över sin egen verksamhet. Denna balans håller på att förändras genom uppkomsten av nya finansierings- och distributionsalternativ som tillåter spelutvecklaren att förbigå spelutgivarens inblandning i spelproduktionen. I vår uppsats har vi valt att undersöka hur folkfinansiering, digital distribution och mun till mun-marknadsföring påverkar spelutvecklares autonomi.

The time we live in now is significant for its many ways of spreading information- it is indeed the era of communication. The Internet is the main reason for this evolution, where you can reach out to any corner in the world in less then a second. Information is flowing over us and we get more and more used to being in a constant accessible state. The individual might spread his own word as he wishes. From a democratic point of view this should give a great opening for everyone into the public spheer.

For many people, a good game is synonymous with good graphics. One thing that is often forgotten, is that the graphics only makes up one part of the games. An aspect of the games that is far to often forgotten, is the game?s content and ability to tell stories. Through analyses of the games of the Zelda series, the development of content and storytelling aspects of computer- and video games, since the later half of the 1980:s and up till today, are examined..
