Detta examensarbete, som skrivits inom omrÄdet media vid Konstfack Àgnas Ät tonÄrskillars sociala lÀrande i strategispelet League of Legends. Jag har undersökt hur ungdomarna kommunicerar med varandra och vilka olika metoder de anvÀnder för att inskaffa kunskap som Àr nödvÀndigt för att utvecklas som League of Legendsspelare. Jag har utgÄtt frÄn kvalitativa intervjuer med tre femtonÄriga killar och etnografiskt orienterade videodokumentationer som bas för min undersökning. Socialsemiotisk teori med ett multimodalt perspektiv anvÀnds. Begrepp som jag anvÀnder mig av för att förstÄ och analysera min empiri Àr lÀrande och design.Analysen av intervjuer och videodokumentationerna vÀgleds av mina frÄgor kring hur ungdomarna lÀr sig av varandra och vilka resurser de skapar tillsammans.

Wind power in Sweden is expanding in response to the government's decision that 49% of Sweden's power should originate from renewable energy sources by the year 2020. Problems with noise and sound emissions related to wind turbines are a constant argument against the wind power expansion and this paper means to examine if vertical axis wind turbines might be a viable alternative to the conventional horizontal design for noise sensitive areas. In order to determine factors like difference in frequency, noise propagation and noise emission level, measurements of both horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines have been completed and the data analyzed with MATLAB. It is shown that there is a difference in how the noise from the two types of turbines propagates due to avariation in the frequency spectra of the emitted sound. It is also shown that vertical axis wind turbines generate a lower sound emission with less intensity inthe lower frequencies..

During the work at Gateway Security AB in Motala I began examining available antenna models to get a wider perspective, this have given knowledge of their structure, and an understanding of their function. All my necessary fact is based on my observations and notes of these measurings. New antenna models, and available models were examined where measurements at different heights and different distances on the antenna were performed with the help of an oscilloscope and a measure probe, peak ? to - peak was brought on the signal. The measurements are presented in a line diagram.

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..

Om lusten att samla pĂ„ sig saker och om lusten att visa sin samling. Att synliggöra en smak,en kunskap, ett intresse för andra. Om processer och tankar kring ett arbete dĂ€r sjĂ€lvavisningen av det insamlade materialet bildar (blir) (Ă€r) en tillgĂ€nglig rörlig samling, ett privatmobilt arkiv, ett levande nĂ€tverk. Är det en bekrĂ€ftelse i sig att publiken kommer och tittareller krĂ€vs det mer? Ett samtal kring upplevelsen eller bara ett utrymme för samtal efter det upplevda..

During the spring of 2014, I have investigated the visual culture of Lolita as practiced in Sweden and Japan. My focus has been on the performative aspect of Lolita. By looking and participating in this colorful subculture, I have met people who are living the Lolita lifestyle on a daily basis as well as former Lolita practitioners. My main concern has been how does one use Lolita.I?ve tried to investigate if it is possible to look at Lolita as being more than just a clothing style.

Visuella vÀgledande element kan höja eller sÀnka en spelupplevelse. DÀrför har vi gjort en studie kring hur man kan uppnÄ intuitiv visuell navigation med fyra beprövade visuella vÀgledande element, nÀmligen ljussÀttning, fÀrgkulör, fÀrgmÀttnad samt objektplacering. Dessa element har anvÀnts för att skapa ett visuellt sprÄk i en bana som vi har lÄtit ett antal respondenter spela och simultant kommentera. Resultaten har varit som vÀntat, att ljussÀttning fungerar som det starkast vÀgledande elementet, samt att respondenterna reagerade pÄ, samt vÀgleddes av, nÀmnda element..

The aim with this master's thesis is to describe the work process with the graduation film Player, by a composers perspective and given conditions. It provides a detailed insight into how the work was done from the script stage to the end result, scene by scene reflecting about both the musical performance and the collaboration between the director and me as a composer. The work was done during the spring term of 2012 at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts..

This study examines how women are portrayed in four of Disney?s feature films, withthe focus on the presentation of relations between women. The films examined areSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Sleeping Beauty (1959), The Little Mermaid(1989) and Frozen (2013). The aim is to analyse the development that has taken placefrom a gender perspective, from the earliest film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs(1937), to the latest, Frozen (2013), and to reveal the significance of the femalecharacters for each other. The films? portrayal of women and female relations isdiscussed in relation to previous criticism of Disney for their stereotyped portrayal ofwomen, and through a thematic comparison with the known fairytales on which thefilms are based.

Dessa reflekteras med ett resultat som framhÀver CSS styrka i lÀgre prestandakrav Àn jQuery som istÀllet styrks av sin kompatibilitet..

When driving hard and cornering on a circuit good control of a car?s roll is desired, so the car reaches steady state quickly but yet in a controlled fashion. This control is mainly given by the combination of the cars springs, shock absorbers and anti-roll bars.The aim of this report is to investigate, analyze and measure a Porsche Boxster?s turn in behaviour and roll dynamics as well as with the aid of simulation results give suggestions for improvement of the previous mentioned combination.Two different simulations were made, one based on a simpler model that was based on an evolved version of the bicycle model in Matlab and one was more advanced model in the simulation software rFactor. Measurements of the real car was made using a GPS-based measurement system.

Syftet med denna undersökning Àr att undersöka vilka problem och möjligheter man kan möta med anvÀndandet av historisk spelfilm i historieundervisningen. Spelfilmens roll som historieförmedlare har ökat under de senaste Ären. Idag fungerar spelfilm med historiska motiv som historieförmedlare för mÄnga mÀnniskor, inte minst ungdomar. I mÄnga fall anvÀnds spelfilmen i underhÄllningssyfte. En stor anledning till att jag gör denna undersökning Àr för att se nÀrmare pÄ hur lÀraren kan arbeta med spelfilmen i historieundervisningen utöver ett rent underhÄllningssyfte.

This thesis explores how three contemporary Mexican women artists, Teresa Margolles, Julieta Aranda, and Minerva Cuevas navigate and critically engage with the global art world through a postcolonial and transnational feminist lenses. The study investigates how their artistic practices address issues of gender, identity, power and violence by examining six artworks by their aesthetic and material strategies, revealing how these artists challenge dominant Western narratives. Drawing on theoretical frameworks by Marsha Meskimmon, Ania Loomba, and Homi K. Bhabha, among others. The thesis discusses concepts of cultural hybridity, the ?third space? and gender to analyze the complex intersections between the local and the global spaces in contemporary art.

Syftet med den hÀr studien har varit att undersöka vilka skillnader som kan identifieras rörande elevers handlingskomptens beroende pÄ var och hur undervisningen har bedrivits. Jag har velat ta reda pÄ pÄ vilka sÀtt valet av undervisningsmetoder och valet av plats för undervisningen kan pÄverka elevernas utveckling av handlingskompetens. Studien har genomförts med en kvasiexperimentell design, dÀr tvÄ klasser i Ärskurs 8 har arbetat med ett tema kring hÄllbar konsumtion av klÀder. Den ena klassen har haft all undervisning i klassrummet medan den andra klassen vid tvÄ tillfÀllen fÄtt gÄ till stadens centrum för att göra butiksundersökningar och intervjua butikspersonal. I övrigt har bÄda klasserna fÄtt likartad undervisning av samma lÀrare.

This thesis investigates techniques for stealth hydroacoustic communication using spread spectrum. The Swedish naval defense organisations have a vision that all their units should be able to communicate with each other, even between underwater vehicles. But the properties of water makes it a complex channel to use for wireless communications. Radiomagnetic waves have very limited range in water, therefore acoustic waves are used. In this report the basics of wireless communication systems are described including source coding, channel coding, modulation techniques as well as different techniques for spread spectrum.
