Denna rapport är resultatet av ett examensarbete som har utförts vid institutionen för informationsochkommunikationsteknik, Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH), och omfattar 15 hp. Rapportenpresenterar ett arbete där examensarbetarna har utvecklat en terräng med höjdskillnader ochljussättning, partikeleffekter (CPU-GPU implementering) som liknar ett fyrverkeri, partikeleffekter(GPU implementering) som visar olika mönster samt en kamera för att kunna observera spelvärldenfrån alla möjliga olika vinklar i 3D med API:et Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL).LWJGL är ett lågnivå-API som riktar sig mot nybörjare och professionella spelutvecklare iprogramspråket Java. Flera tekniker exponeras istället för att mappa lågnivå-funktioner iobjektorienterad programmeringsparadigm som många javautvecklare är vana vid. LWJGL hanterarsin egen grafik, ljud och styrkontroller enbart för att få en solid grund för moderna spel och enbättre användarupplevelse. Den grafiska renderingen sköts med OpenGL.Syftet med det här examensarbetet var att utvärdera LWJGL om den är kompetent nog att användasi samband med spelutveckling.

Syftet med denna undersökning är att öka förståelsen för hur anställda balanserar arbete och övrigt liv med fokus på de privata angelägenheter som görs på arbetstid. Jag vill ta reda på hur de anställda rättfärdigar dessa handlingar och även undersöka om det finns skillnader mellan män och kvinnor när det gäller vad man gör av privat karaktär på arbetstid och uppfattningen kring det. Teoriavsnittet utgörs av i huvudsak två teman. Det ena temat är Work-Life Balance och tar upp bakgrund till fenomenet, konflikter mellan livets sfärer, de alltmer oklara gränserna mellan arbete och övrigt liv samt ett avsnitt om uppdelningen av hushållssysslor i ett förhållande. Det andra temat berör utförandet av privata angelägenheter på arbetstid och behandlar forskning kring detta ämne samt teoretiska förklaringar kring detta beteende.

This essay examines the limits of marketing strategies in the online casino industry, focusing on how data-driven and advanced marketing practices influence consumer behavior and contribute to problematic gambling consumption. By observing the online casino industry, the study identifies how companies use sophisticated data analysis methods and psychological techniques to attract and retain customers, raising significant ethical and social issues. The study highlights three key perspectives: the consumer's, the producer's, and the legislator's. From the consumer's perspective, it explores how various consumer behaviors, from responsible gambling to problematic overconsumption, are influenced by marketing and gaming experiences. This includes an analysis of how cognitive limitations and psychological biases can lead to irrational decisions and an increased risk of gambling addiction. From the producer's perspective, it examines how gambling companies use marketing strategies and technologies to increase profitability and what incentives they have to take social responsibility according to modern Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) principles. It appears that companies do not see CSR as a business goal beyond the risk of current and future regulatory compliance requirements and policy changes. From the legislator's viewpoint, the current regulatory framework for the gambling industry is discussed, including the changes that occurred in 2019 when the special monopoly form we had in Sweden was transformed into a license market.

Den här uppsatsen undersöker varför vissa spel kan ses med ett större estetiskt värde än andra och hur detta estetiska fokus kan uppnås samt hur detta påverkar spelen och dess värde. Syftet är att beskriva estetisk effektivitet som begrepp och metod för att kunna applicera dessa kunskaper i produktioner av digitala spel. För att undersöka problemområdet utfördes en spelproduktion där metoder framtagna under undersökningens gång applicerades. Denna produktion testades sedan mot respondenter och resultaten sammanställdes med reflektioner kring hur processen påverkat slutprodukten. Undersökningen beskriver ett förhållningssätt, komplett med begrepp, definitioner och metoder och visar att detta kan användas för att skapa sammanhållna och starka upplevelser. .

AbstractAccording to several researchers finance is scarce, scarcer for small businesses than for big enterprises. Small and medium-sized enterprises, SMEs, that want to start exporting and sales or manufacturing abroad need capital to get ready. Which capital structure and financial costs do they have, and which forms of finance do they actually use for that purpose. New american research by Mansi, Reeb (2002) has suggested, that there is a positive connection between leverage and a negative one between financial costs and internationalization, and that a non-linear model better describes this connection.This study has gathered data in two ways: Through a questionnaire from 37 SMEs and balance sheet figures from totally 166 manufacturing SMEs. In order to examine, whether the company was active on the international market, 200 SMEs in south Sweden were asked, if they exported to, produced or sold on any other market than their home market.

This essay discusses children?s rights and control and system of rules in HVB-homes that provide treatment for adolescences with drug abuse prob­lems or criminal behavior. The results of this study are based on interviews with four persons working in managerial positions on different HVB-homes and shows the difficulties of having a children?s rights perspective in a con­text where a higher level of control is necessary to protect the best interest of the child. The study suggests that the question of balance between children?s right and the need for controlling system of rules needs to be fur­ther dis­cussed to improve, and as far as possible guarantee that these adoles­cence receive best possible care and do not suffer unfair restrictions on liber­ties..

This report describes the manufacture and control of a flying platform. The report describes the basic and fundamental theories required to get the platform flying. It touches on subjects such as A/D-conversion. PWM-control and PID-control. The sensors used in the platform are a gyro and an accelerometer.

Datortekniken har utvecklats vilket innebär att man kan göra mer högupplösta 3D-objekt (se ordlistan) som ser mer realistiska ut än sina föregångare vilket har skapat en trend där 3D-objekten ska vara realistiska. Vi vill bryta den realistiska trenden genom att ta inspiration från det konstnärliga fältet vilket ledde oss till att undersöka de metoder som surrealisterna kan ha använt. Surrealismen innebär att konstnären vill fånga sina inre visioner och drömbilder. Undersökningen sker med fokus på metoden kollage, utklippta bilder som sätts ihop till en bild, såsom bland annat Max Ernst utförde det. Vidare testas våra egna varianter av kollage och därefter diskuteras arbetsflödet i de olika varianterna.

This study treats the possibility of breeding mallards and pheasants on our own farm, Björnslund. From the beginning I considered to breed them from eggs to adults but after visiting several breeders I changed my mind. It seemed to be a lot of work with no economic profit in comparison with buying already hatched birds and then feed them to adults. If the business shall be profitable I have to be soll the hunting for the birds and then sell the dead birds to game purchasers. There are also calculations that show which price you have to charge for the hunting that will give a positive result. Another possibility is to own a slaughterhouse and sell the meat to restaurants and supermarkets.

This Masters thesis concerns computer games in Swedish public libraries. We have investigated the opinions of public librarians concerning what they think about computer games, and to what extent they believe it should be a part of the public library. The method we have chosen is qualitative interviews. The theory we have used is a pedagogical literature strategy, which we have reformulated so that it fits our investigation. The results show that the interviewed public librarians think that the library should offer computer games for children and youths to use at the library, and that they should offer computer games for lending, to all the library users.

Att spela tv- och datorspel är idag en stor del av många människors liv. Ioch med en förfinad teknik hos spelen, med bättre spelmiljö och artificiellintelligens skapas det en större realism och funderingar kan uppstå hur dettakan påverka en utövare. Den här undersökningen testade sambandet mellanempati och graden av våldsamhet i spelen hos en utövare. Det var 64gymnasieelever som deltog i en enkätundersökning, varav 16 var män. Föratt mäta empati användes Davis-IRI.

The Baltic Sea, due to its special conditions, is a unique and vulnerable marine environment. There are many pressures that have an impact on the sea and one of the major problems is the extensive flow of nutrients from land. The most visible effect of the supply of nutrients is the annual algal blooms. One of the main sources of nitrogen and phosphorus supply is agriculture. Nutrient losses from arable land have been increasing as agricultural production has intensified. At the end of the twentieth century an increased awareness of these problems led to the formation of organizations such as HELCOM and Baltic 21.

This thesis presents my work at the company Fatshark AB in Stockholm. My supervisor Rikard Blomberg, who works as a chief technology officer at Fatshark and is one of the owners of the company, explained that they had experienced weaknesses in the methodology used when developing heads up displays (HUD) for their games. In the latest production, Lead  and Gold, the HUD had been redesigned a number of times, becoming an unnecessarily big expense due to the number of work hours invested. In modern software development, an iterative workflow is commonly encouraged. Despite this fact, the work efficiency could likely be increased by setting up guidelines as a help in the process of developing HUDs and reviewing the solutions.
