The aim of this research is to examine the Göteborg International Film Festival Fund (GIFFF, 1998?2011) as a part of the festival's overall operations, to provide answers to questions about if/how the Fund can be understood as an expression of the festival's fundamental values, and how the Fund can be recognized within the festival's strategic development. The GIFFF is also discussed in relation to contemporary academic studies that interpret Western film funds for the developing countries ? such as Hubert Bals Fund and Fond Sud Cinéma ? as an expression of Eurocentrism.The investigation is based on the contemporary film festival research, previous academic studies on Göteborg International Film Festival, the festival?s printed material ? such as programs and press releases ? as well as interviews with the former festival director Gunnar Bergdahl, who initiated the Fund, and festival editor Ulf Sigvardson, who ran the Fund during its final years of existence.The conclusions are: The Fund's objectives ? such as to support filmmakers and film schools in the developing countries, and also to screen their films at the festival ? can be seen as a broader interpretation of the vision that was determined by the festival founders, that the festival should be a platform for independent filmmaking and also help screen the films that otherwise would not reach the Swedish audience. Also, the Fund was a significant part of the festival's expansion strategies during the 1990s.

Jag har utfört mitt examensarbete hos Turnhill AB [1] på Hedensbyn i Skellefteå. Syftet med examensarbetet var att dokumentera nätverket, samt ordna upp bland kablarna i nätverksrummet, och att komma med en offert på två VPN-lösningar som skulle kunna implementeras. I dokumenteringen hade jag problem till en början med att lista ut vilka enheter som var kopplade till vilka portar i brandväggen och switchen, vilket löste sig med lite tid. För att underlätta detta arbete för framtida ändringar så gjorde jag två dokument, ett som förklarar vilka enheter som är kopplade till vilka portar i brandväggen/switchen, och ett som visar hur kablarna mellan patchpanelen och switchen är kopplade, och med framtida uppdateringar av dessa listor ska det inte vara några stora problem att hålla ordning.I mitt undersökande av lämpliga VPN-tjänster så fann jag ett gratisprogram vid namn Logmein Hamachi, som fyllde upp kraven med råge. I samråd med min handledare så valde vi att implementera denna, vilket gick utan problem.

Performance of an intersection affects the total travel time in a traffic network. An intersection with good performance can easily be described by its contribution to lower travel time than in a comparable intersection. The travel time is of importance in the cost calculations when a specific intersection is to be chosen and designed. It is important to be able to make correct and precise performance calculations so that the cost calculations will not be incorrect. For that purpose the software Capcal, which is a traffic model for intersection analysis on performance, is used in Sweden.
