Förstärkt verklighet ger användare möjlighet att ta del av mer information via digital väg än vad deras sinnen ensamma kan erbjuda. I detta arbete undersöks om förstärkt verklighet applicerad på liknande sätt som handledning i spel kan effektivisera en monteringsprocess. I detta syfte har en huvudmonterad och videobaserad utrustning för förstärkt verklighet utvecklats och jämförts mot pappersinstruktioner i användartester för att undersöka om effektiviseringar kan göras. De två aspekter av effektivitet som har undersökts är tidsåtgång och mängd fel. Ur ett tidsperspektiv har effektiviseringar inte kunnat påvisas men sett till mängden fel har en effektivisering kunnat påvisas.

Kandidatarbetets huvudsakliga mål är att producera en bilderbok för alla åldrar, Skumma Typer & Trevliga Personer. En bilderbok är interaktiv till sin karaktär och den här boken har också ett tilltal på flera nivåer. Bokens bilder innehåller tydliga allusioner, främst riktade till den vuxne läsaren. Medieteknik är, i det här sammanhanget, att först skissa analogt, föra över skisserna digitalt, bearbeta i datorn och därefter skriva ut bilderna. Via ljusbord har bilderna sedan tecknats igen på akvarellpapper och sedan målats med akvarellfärg för att uppnå nyanser som kan vara svåra att nå digitalt.

New forms of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become more influential in development contexts. The concept of ?The Digital Divide? points at a large division between rich and poor countries regarding access to ICTs. Critics say that the debate concerning this topic for far too long has focused mainly on the technology itself rather than social factors which impact social inclusion and development. Scholars agree that ICTs holds a tremendous potential, but how is this implemented in development contexts and how can it be used with more sensitivity towards local preconditions and social aspects?This paper aims to examine how ICTs are being used in the context of development within an India based organisation for women called SEWA (Self Employed Women?s Association).

This study is made in order to see how music teachers pedagogic design their teaching from a semiotic design theoretical perspective. A survey was done in a study to see how the music college students experienced their music theory teaching. This was followed by an observation of two different music theory teachers teaching music theory and with subsequent interviews. One teacher taught music theory at a swedish non-compulsory School of Arts, Kulturskola, and the other music teacher taught at an independent adult education college. The study's questionnaire, observation and interview revealed patterns of teaching, probably largely due to the teaching tradition.

Institutional repositories are now being created to manage, preserve, and maintain the digital assets and intellectual output of a university. The incentives to change the process of scholarly communication have also begun serving as a strong motivator. There are problems to consider and questions to be solved when dealing with electronic publishing and the implementation of institutional repositories. At present time no summary exists regarding the activities of scholarly electronic publishing at Swedish universities and university colleges.This Master's thesis aims to describe the current situation regarding electronic publishing and the development of institutional repositories at Swedish universities and university colleges. To investigate the situation, a questionnaire was sent out to 38 academic libraries since they are normally responsible for the electronic publishing within institutions of higher education.

This report describes the initial work intended for updating the car sharing service Roadmate. Roadmate is one of the services received by the car rental company Hertz First Rent a Car. The goal was to present the client with design- and structure proposals for a car sharing service that includes high usability and at the same time remains aesthetically pleasing.The work is based on an initial study with data collection, mapping the target user group and its needs. Subsequent structural and design proposals for Roadmates company carpooling service are based on the facts surrounding the target group's needs. The result are well developed and tested design sketches with accompanying visual identity and sitemaps that can be the basis for the further work on the development of the service..

Barns Behov I Centrum (BBIC) är ett utredningsverktyg inom social- tjänsten som har haft stor framfart i Sverige de senaste åren. Det finns tre viktiga områden som verkar inom BBIC vilka är "barnets behov", "föräld- rarnas förmåga" samt "familj och miljö". Syftet med detta arbete var att undersöka hur fem socialsekreterare upplevde att dessa områden blev tillgodosedda, hur BBIC fungerat som arbetsmetod samt att undersöka vilka dessa socialsekreterare anser haft mest nytta av BBIC. En kvalitativ forskningsmetod med en fenomenologisk ansats har använts för att komma fram till resultatet. För att ta reda på vad dessa socialsekreterare ansåg genomfördes intervjuer och resultatet av studien visade att det fanns många likheter mellan de intervjuade socialsekreterarnas åsikter och att många av deras uppfattningar var i linje med den tidigare forsk- ningen.

Operators and Internet service providers invest in broadband to be able to deliver new services that require higher data transmission rate. A way to make this possible is to use ADSL, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, as the access technology. To be able to handle this technology, the service providers should do a pre-qualification. Methods and tools are needed to analyze the local copper lines and decide if these qualify for ADSL with respect to service availability and possible bandwidth through the lines. This report brings up some methods for pre-qualification of ADSL, the important quality parameters and how to gather them from the available services today.

This bachelor thesis aims to draw attention to sound in the heritage sector in Sweden. In particular, to thesoundscapes that can be identified in our cultural heritage environments. Sounds in an environment, here calledsoundscapes, affect our perception of the environment and how we remember it.To find out how the heritage sector uses and would be able to use sounds, I have firstly studied if audio recording iscomparable with the visual photographic image. I then present examples of sound documentation concerning theconservation of built environment. In addition, I have interviewed five key informants who all have a centralresponsibility for five cultural heritage environments.

The purpose of this study was to examine customer attitudes towards flagship stores and how they perceive them. To ascertain this, and obtain answers to the research questions covering the study's main issues, we decided to turn to the customers who recently visited a flagship store.Our background theory is based upon literature from previous research done on the subject in the form of scientific articles and books. We present the theoretical concept that explains how flagship stores are used as a marketing tool and what impact they have on the new market. These will be helpful in answering our questions when we evaluate our results.!A theoretical framework, consisting of three value dimensions, was used as a support throughout the implementation of the study. These three values; hedonic, practical and social, should give us a better idea of what customers experience and what they value when they visit the flagship stores.!The method used in our investigation is of quantitative form, so that it can be feasible on a large crowd to thus contribute to a quantitative result.

Matematiska kunskaper är en central del inom digital spelutveckling. Metoderna hur man lär ut matematik och dess innehåll har dock inte utvecklats i samma takt som hur lär ut hur man utvecklar spel. Jag vill med den här uppsatsen och mitt kandidatarbete utveckla ett unikt kursupplägg av tillämpad matematik for spelutveckling i 2-D. Detta upplägg baseras på analys av tidigare erfarenheter av matematikstudier och samtal med övriga kursansvariga. Den be?ntliga kurslitteraturen som används på tekniska högskolor är väldigt avancerad i sin forklaring av teori.
