Hur ska ett användargränssnitt utformas för att det ska vara lätt att använda i stressade situationer? Hur skapas ett program som uttrycker professionalitet och samtidigt enkelhet? Dessa frågor och många fler uppkom vid starten av arbetet med gränssnittsdesignen till programmet CMC (Creative Media Concept).Huvudpoängen med CMC är att användaren på mindre än en minut ska kunna presentera t.ex. en företagspresentation. Eftersom CMC endast varit en idé i tankarna tills nu, så har målet med detta projekt varit att utveckla idén och skapa en gränssnittsprototyp åt företaget Cascade Creative Media i Luleå. För att uppnå detta så har en enkätundersökning och teoristudier utförts, detta har sedan legat till grund för de olika idéer som tagits fram.

I föreliggande uppsats har jag undersökt hur flyktingsmuggling framställs i media. Jag presenterar och analyserar flera olika skildringar av flyktingsmuggling, flyktingsmugglare och flyktingar.Uppsatsen är inspirerad av diskursanalys, och till grund för analysen ligger ett urval av tidningsartiklar hämtade ur svenska nyhetsmedier.Jag visar i uppsatsen på hur betydelserna av flyktingsmugglare och flyktingar förutsätter varandra, och hur skildringarna av vilka flyktingsmugglarna och deras motiv är, skiljer sig åt beroende på om det är myndigheter, flyktingsmugglare eller flyktingar som ges tolkningsföreträde. Vidare diskuterar jag hur bilden av de Andra kan utgöra en grund för dagens flyktingpolitik..

Introduktion: Sekretorisk media otit (SOM) är den vanligaste öronsjukdomen och uppkommer oftast i efterförloppet till akut media otit (AOM). Om barnet får SOM leder det till hörselnedsättning som kan påverka språklig utveckling och ge beteendeproblem. Etiologin bakom SOM anses vara multifaktoriell. Barnets tryck i mellanörat kan påverkas vid flaskmatning. Allergier, bakteriella/virus infektioner och inflammationer har också betydelse för utvecklandet av SOM.

The aim of this study is to go into depth and analyze the identity ?immigrant? (invandrare) and how it is constituted in Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet and Sydsvenska Dagbladet. An investigation (SOU 2006:21) by Swedish authorities concludes that immigrants are portrayed in an unfavorable way in Swedish media, whilst Gunnar Sandelin in a debate article in Sweden?s biggest morning newspaper (Dagens Nyheter) meant that Swedish media lies about immigrants, creating an image of them that is too favorable that is not in touch with reality. This gives this thesis momentum to further investigate the identity immigrants are given in Swedish media.The theory and method used in this thesis is Laclau?s and Mouffe?s discourse theory.

The result is based on twelve studies that were extracted and analyzed. The studies have investigated pocket depth, attachment loss, plaque index, bleeding on probing and bone loss. Ten studies compared a COPD group with a healthy control group, one study compared two COPD groups and one study examined a COPD group and a group with other lung diseases.Most studies found that people with COPD had a higher incidence of pocket depth, attachment loss, plaque index, bleeding on probing and bone loss.

Skapandet av konst kan ses som en social process där flera personer, utöver konstnären, på olika sätt påverkar processen och konsten. Media, journalister och konstkritiker är exempel på personer som ingår i den sociala process i vilken konst skapas, och påverkar i sin tur allmänhetens uppfattning om konsten såväl som konstnären som yrkesperson. Den här uppsatsen är en kvalitativ fallstudie vars syfte var att utifrån kritisk diskursanalys undersöka hur konstnärsrollen porträtteras i media. Fallet som undersöks är den debatt som uppstod i media kring Anna Odells examensarbete för Konstfack år 2009. Uppsatsen undersöker hur Anna Odell framställdes som konstnär i ett antal artiklar publicerade i Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Dagbladet, vilka aspekter debatten fokuserade på, vilka som tog ställning i debatten samt hur konstnären som yrkesperson framställdes.
