A film can attract all kinds of emotions and moods of the audience through its audiovisual communications and cinematic expression, in which music plays a significant role in both understanding and interpretation of film content.It is interesting to explore the musical significance and the emotional aspect of the film out of a media and communications perspective and visual communications perspective because it?s a subject that belongs to the communications of scientific discipline as film is a media text which is working both as communicative and as audio-visual medium with its expressive aspects.The purpose of this bachelor?s paper is to increase and deepen the understanding of music's function and significant role in context with its reinforcing sense of visual expression in film. More specifically, it aims to explore the musical value of the expressive aspect of the media text in form of film musical Les Misérables (2012), which has been transmedialised from the novel of the same name, referring to the sound, music and song in relation to the film's visual expression.The research questions are at the core of the essay study: "how is music used to reinforce the cinematic visual expression?" and "how can music signify the narrative and highlight the emotional aspect of the film?" The theoretical framework is based on some of the key scholars assumptions such as Michel Chion (1994) and Claudia Gorbman (1987), who share the same theoretical views that the soundtrack seems powerful when it expresses its participation in a scene?s emotional moods as the music follows the scene?s rhythm, the image?s flow and contributes emotional and musical codes of emotions and expressions. According to Chion sound and image interact together to tell a story where sound enrich the image with expressive and informative values.

Syftet med studien är att studera vilka uppfattningar som pedagoger i förskola och pedagoger i förskoleklass har kring överlämning av information. Undersökningen fokuserar på hur pedagogerna uppfattar att de arbetar med detta och hur de ser på kommunikationen mellan varandra. Även vilken information som de anser är relevant att ge vidare och varför information ska ges vidare där både fördelar och nackdelar tas upp. Sju kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes i Västernorrlands län, i två olika kommuner. Fyra av intervjuerna skedde med förskolepedagoger och tre med förskoleklasspedagoger.

The school is a place of work where teachers, with different tools, are supposed to teach their students for the future. In the study the teachers? opinions will be lifted when it comes to use of computers as a tool to teach the students how to read and write. The interpretation is that the use of computers is reflecting the development of society and the intention is to find out if computers will be used in a didactic purpose in teaching. We focused on getting knowledge about which different opinions there are among teachers in grade 1-3 when it comes to the use of computers as a tool in teaching how to read and write.

This study is about information needs and library habits among newly retired people. The purpose of this master thesis is to examine the affective and cognitive needs that come with retirement. In what way do the information needs of this group change due to retirement? In order to answer this question we make use of two theoretical models; Role theory and Wilson?s model of information needs. When it comes to library habits, we use Andersson and Skot-Hansens model to examine how newly retired people use the library now and how they could use it on basis of their needs in their new role.

The project deals with the evaluation and testing of speaker and microphone elements as well as microphone cavity.The first part of the report comprises a comprehensive theoretical part about drivers, microphone elements, and to some extent microphone cavity.The goal was to , on the behalf of the company Limes Audio AB, develop proposals on microphone element and cavity as well as drivers for a speakerphone application, based on specific factors. The main factors were performance, price and form factor.The aim was to create the best possible conditions for Limes Audio's software developers to implement the company's audio-enhancing software, mainly adaptive echo cancellation.The testing was carried out using Adobe Audition and MatLab. The test methods were developed in conjunction with Limes Audio and are described below.The project will result in suggestions for a speaker, a microphone and a cavity. The cavity were removed from the product because the results indicated that the cavity matter little for the end result.The report concludes with a discussion on how the measurements could have been enhanced to simplify the interpretation of the results and making the testing more efficient..

Diabetes mellitus type 2 and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) are two of the most common diseases in the world and the amount are increasing. The treatments of these diseases are self care and a change of lifestyle. For this to be successful there is a need for the person to have knowledge about the diseases and a motivation for making changes in his or her lifestyle. Most of this information is given by the district nurse at the health centre. It is important to get a better knowledge of these persons experiences and how they used the information given to them.

The harmonization within EC Company Law has been relativley successful. Despite its relative success; important differences still remains in European company law.The freedom of establishment itself, and the ECJ?s interpretation of the freedom provides European companies with a substantial cross-border mobility. As a consequence of this mobility, together with the differences in national legislation; mandatory rules in company law can be easily evaded. A typical example of this is that a Swedish enterprise, by running their business through a British private limited company, can escape the Swedish legislation on capital contributions when forming a company with limited liability for its members.

Bakgrund: Bröstcancer är en av de vanligaste cancersjukdomarna hos kvinnor. Behandlingen av bröstcancerpatienter var mer likartad förr men idag är den mer varierande. Vid bröstcancerdiagnos utlöses en livskris och patienten hamnar i chocktillstånd. Enligt Cullberg (2003) påbörjar detta en process bestående av fyra olika faser: chockfasen, reaktionsfasen, bearbetningsfasen och nyorienteringsfasen. Att få diagnosen innebär en stor omställning i kvinnornas liv och de har alla olika behov av information och emotionellt stöd under hela sjukdomsförloppet.

The main objective of this thesis is to examine the situation concerning information technology, computers and information resources for university students at a selection of universities, and their libraries, in Sweden. Another objective is to compare this situation to what is stated in policy documents on the subject, and if the size of the university matters regarding resources. The thesis starts with a discussion of several authors, Frank Webster, Paul F. Burton and Lars Qvortrup among others, and their views on the information society. These range from whether we are living in it, are in a transition period or are still in the Industrial Society.

Människan är nyfiken och vill finna ny information på webbplatser. Detta kan underlättas med hjälp av virtuella doftspår som användaren följer. Denna rapport är en fördjupning i hur människan går tillväga för att följa virtuella doftspår och hur man som designer ska använda sig av detta när man utvecklar en webbplats. Genom teorierna information foraging och användbarhet har en användbarhetsmodell och en operationalisering tagits fram för att underlätta detta. Tillsammans med datainsamling genom intervjuer och metoderna heuristisk utvärdering och high fidelity har studien visat att när man skapar ett gränssnitt för användare behövs information foraging som bestämmer eller lämnar förslag på hur virtuella doftspår påverkar användaren..
