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 political landscape is constantly changing and influenced by outside forces. The strong connection to the traditional media has evolved to include a new important part, social media. A good way for the politics to utilize social media is through their youth associations, whose main purpose is to engage young people and spark their interest in politics.

This phenomenon is referred to as ?politainment? and encapsulates the merging of politics and entertainment. The purpose of this study is to examine and measure the frequency of politainment in Swedish political youth associations political communications.
