This essay concerns the fantastic and its position in narration. The fantastic's defintion is based on Martin Horstkotte's defintion in The Postmodern Fantastic and the essay focuses on the noncontextual aspects such as the clash between two incompatible fictional worlds and the absence created. Instead of the ordinary identification of the established fictional world with realism and our reality it is suggested that both of the colliding fictional worlds are fictive and that the established one not necessarily need to be realistic. Exampels on how the fantastic takes place on the syntagmatic level in a narration is drawn from the short story ?Samvetets fantasi? by Clas Livijn when analysed with Peter Brooks' closurebased narratology theory in Reading for the Plot.

Syftet med föreliggande studie är att undersöka om elever agerande skiljer sig beroende på vilken miljö de befinner sig i. Åtta elever videoobserverades i två olika miljöer, inne i klassrummet och ute på skolgården, vid totalt två lektionstillfällen. De redskap som användes i analysen var Michel Focaults tankar kring subjektspositioner och makt. Vi kunde i analysen se att skolans makt genom miljön hade stor inverkan på elevernas sociala samspel. Det framkom även att subjektspositionen pojke och flicka spelade en stor betydelse.

It?s not the technology itself that makes the threat scenariocomplex it?s the way the opponent acts during the operations. The opponent acts usually incivilian clothes and therefore he is difficult to distinguish from other civilians.

When a helicopter is flying, the dynamics vary depending on, for example, speed and position. Hence, a time-invariant linear model cannot describe its properties under all flight conditions. It is therefore desirable to update the linear helicopter model continuously during the flight. In this thesis, two different recursive estimation methods are presented, LMS (Least Mean Square) and adaptation with a Kalman filter. The main purpose of the system estimation is to get a model which can be used for feedback control.

Quality assurance of construction projects and create effective ways of working, is intoday's pressed position, major objectives for building contractor companies. This thesis is an attempt to see if it is possible to achieve these goals with the new modern tool iPad.The author of this thesis has during the latter half of his one year practice work in Uppsala for the Swedish building construction company NCC Construction Sverige AB, conducted a study on the possibility of using the iPad on an construction site. This has been done with active field studies in which applications have been tested and also the supervisors receptive. The usability of the iPad has always been in focus since it is important that the applications are easy to use and easy to learn.The results of the work, as presented in this report, points at opportunities in efficiency if the iPad is introduced and used on construction site. There are many useful applications for the iPad, and with a system that can handle the synchronization between the iPad and the computer, the workflow will be streamlined significantly..

This thesis treats the information the insurance company is going to give the policyholders just before the insurance is to be concluded and soon thereafter.

Den här uppsatsen har undersökt hur tjänsteföretag i form av frisörsalonger från olika prissegment, med hjälp av marknadsföring positionerar sig mot olika kundgrupper, och frågar vilka möjligheter och risker som är inbegripna i den position på marknaden tjänsteföretagen genom sin marknadsföring väljer att ta. Genom att använda både den för tjänsteföretag utvecklade marknadsföringsmixen tillsammans med relationsmarknadsföringsteorin, kunde vi med hjälp av att göra intervjuer med nio frisörsalonger ge en noggrann beskrivning av frisörsalongernas marknadsföringsarbete. Resultaten visar att de företag som gör det mesta av marknadsföringsmixen olika delar har bättre möjligheter att på olika sätt differentiera sina tjänster och konkurrera på marknaden. Vi kan också visa att relationsmarknadsföring är frisörföretagens mest grundläggande marknadsföringsverktyg. Relationerna som är kopplade till den enskilda frisören innebär dock en risk genom att kunden följer frisören om denne byter arbetsplats..

Embedded Internet Systems Laboratories (EISLAB) har fått i uppdrag av Vendolocus AB att utveckla en prototyp till ett larmsystem som är en del i ett större systemkoncept. Larmet ska vara en box som placeras ut på en strategisk plats för att detektera avvikelser i vibrationer med hjälp av ett digitalt filter. Larmet har ett brett användningsområde för mobila och stationära applikationer. Larmboxen kommer vara ansluten till Internet via en inbyggd mobiltelefon (GPRS). Där finns också en inbyggd GPS-mottagare för att bestämma boxens position.

I have been looking at how literature awarded with sponsored literary prizes has been reviewed in four major English and American newspapers. I have been studying the reception of literature by Ian McEwan, Hilary Mantel, Colm Tóibín and Zadie Smith between 2000 and 2012. The prizes in focus are the Man Booker Prize, the Orange prize for fiction and the Costa Awards. There seems to be an increasing number of articles related to each author after they have been awarded a prize, however with little change in the content of the reviews.
