Ljuddesign i spel för sociala medier lider många gånger av en uppenbar kvalitetsbrist och detta arbete syftar till att undersöka hur ljudets funktion i framförallt Facebookspel kan förbättras utifrån de begränsningar formatet presenterar. Bakgrundsdelen avhandlar ljuddesign från ett historiskt perspektiv samt hur det traditionellt sett används idag. Även ämnet sociala medier som helhet tas upp och kombination av dessa två områden, ljuddesign och sociala medier, avhandlas. Som ett led till detta genomfördes en enkätundersökning för att undersöka spelarnas upplevelse av ljudet och deras åsikter kring detta. Det praktiska arbetet genomfördes i samarbete med Muskedunder Interactive och involverade att skapa ljud åt ett av deras befintliga Facebookspel, Hello Adventure, samt ljud ett nyutvecklat iPhonespel, Yummy Bear, som i arbetet användes som jämförelse till Hello Adventure..

This thesis studies the concept of balance in the management control systems (MCS) of a small Swedish company within the IT-sector. The aim is to evaluate the importance of balance and dynamics in MCS and investigate which factors affect them. The frameworks used are Simons (1994) four levers of control, and the five-factor model for balance and dynamics by Mundy (2010). The small IT company - the object of the case study - has grown extensively in the last years and needs to develop more formal MCS without losing efficiency and creativity in their fast-moving industry. The case study reveals that balancing MCS is important also in smaller companies with less formal MCS.

This study aims to examine the effect management control systems have on which goals health centers prioritize. The management control systems of one privately owned and one publicly owned health center have been studied through a qualitative case study. Robert Simons (1995) framework with four levers of control (diagnostic control systems, interactive control systems, belief systems and boundary systems) has been used to structure the study. For both health centers we found a conflict of interest mainly between the diagnostic control system and the beliefs system, where the diagnostic control system is biased towards quantitative goals and the beliefs system is mainly biased towards qualitative goals. However, despite the unbalanced levers of control the studied health centers have been able to reach a well functioning compromise between quantitative and qualitative goals..

Användandet av e-posthantering i arbetet har ökat kraftigt under de senaste årtiondena. Studier har visat att alltför hög grad av informationsflöde kan leda till minskad jobbtillfredsställelse och känslor av stress. Individer i chefsposition har rapporterats vara särskilt drabbade av detta informationsöverflöd och syftet med denna studie var att undersöka avdelningschefers upplevelser av e-posthanteringen i arbetet.En kvalitativ ansats har antagits i studien då verkligheten tolkas på olika sätt och en kvalitativ studies syfte är att förstå ämnet från intervjupersonernas subjektiva perspektiv. Urvalet till denna studie har gjorts strategiskt och valts till att bestå av fem personer; tre män och två kvinnor. Storleksmässigt var antalet intervjuade för få för att göra några könsjämförelser, vilket heller inte ingick i studiens syfte.

The interest in providing a post 9/11 image of Islam to contrast the media?s frequent focus on its practitioners? alleged tendencies toward hostility and violence has in Sweden manifested itself (among other things) in an increased range of courses on Islam given by denominational Muslim organizations. In this paper I examine the construction of Islam by two Muslim organizations that offer education in Islam to non-Muslims in the context of the management?s stated goals of the education. My aim is to illustrate how discourses within these organizations are a result of the combination of local and global conditions..

Through the entry of web 2.0 the technologies behind web development has changed dramatically. Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is the umbrella term for different techniques that make it possible to build rich and interactive user interfaces in today?s web browsers. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) describes how common services can be bundled and published so they can be consumed by different systems.The company SYSteam Evolution AB, which has requested this project, wanted a web application that shows a graphical activity chart in order to easier view ongoing projects. The goal for this project is to develop a demo platform that shows how AJAX and SOA can be used to create flexible and reusable applications.

This essay follows a Media Teacher in her work as a coordinator and an artistic leader for a European project called Legalopoli concerning laws and ethics in a senior level school for 13-16 year-olds in Mora, Sweden. The students write film stories about how their characters have to make choices in ethical dilemma situations. Then the learners create interactive computer games together through practical film work. At the same time we can see how the educator also gets into difficult ethical situations, when she is working with the students. This forces her to self-reflection.

I den här C-uppsatsen har vi på uppdrag av Eskilstuna Energi och Miljö undersöktderas informationsflöde till privatkunder. Syftet med undersökningen var att ta redapå hur bra deras olika informationskanaler fungerar. Vidare skulle vi ta reda på omnågra kanaler kunde tas bort eller om nya kanaler borde användas. Vi ville också fåen fingervisning på om Eskilstuna Energi och Miljös kärnvärden kommit fram ochmottagits av kunderna. En ytterligare fråga var vad respondenterna anser är viktigt iett informationsmaterial för att de ska uppmärksamma det.Vi valde att använda oss av fokusgrupper som en inledande metod för arbetet, föratt sedan, med dessa som grund, formulera frågor i en enkät som skickades ut tillnärmare 1 000 kunder.

Syfte: Hur uppfattar elever att lärare använder datorn i undervisningen?Teori: Med en-till-en, den personliga datorn utmanas det traditionella lärandet. Ett digitaliserat lärande innebär att lärarna ska planera för lärande och inte för undervisning (Kroksmark, 2012).Metod: En kvalitativ intervjumetod, ostrukturerad intervju, användes för att samla in resultatet, som analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Fyra kategorier framkom: datorn i undervisningssammanhanget, instruktioner från lärare, elevernas interaktion med en-till-en och slutligen lärares bedömning av elevarbeten. Resultat: Studien visar att eleverna uppfattar att lärarna använder datorn till att visa film, visa Key-Notespresentationer vid genomgångar.

The use of laptops, interactive whiteboards and the Internet is step-by-step working it?s way into Swedish schools. The aim of this study is to investigate the attitudes of teachers towards using IT-related tools in their teaching. How are the tools given used as mediating tools, what new methods do the teachers find themselves discovering while using these, how do the teachers feel about digital teaching platforms and how do the IT-related tools affect students language progression? These are all questions that this study is meant to answer.

AbstractHeadline: Young trouble and teenage love (Fjortisgrubbel och tonårskärlek)Number of pages: 37Author: Annika IlmoniTutor: Amelie HössjerCourse: Media and communication CPeriod: Autumn 2007University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information Science, Uppsala UniversityPurpose/aim: The purpose of the work was to produce a comparing study of two Swedish teenage films from different periods of time, 1970 and 2005. An analysis was to be made of how love between teenagers as well as the heterosexual relationship in general was depicted in each of the films and further investigate the gender construction in both films.Material/method: With the intention of narrowing down the complexity and make the evaluation more lucid 5 scenes from each film were used for comparison, these were chosen through the Anglo Saxon dramaturgy. To make the scenes more comparable 4 factors were used for analysis in each scene, these were: clothes, recreational activities, behaviour and environment. Beside the above given factors the heterosexual relationship were analysed and compared in each of the scenes through the theory of dominance in dialogue.Main results: The gender construction occurs obliviously in the older film from 1970 while taking place in a more conscious way in the film from 2005. Further on the heterosexual relationship is perpetually depicted in the 70?s film with a submissive girl and predominant boy, the same dominance is easily seen in the more recent film but with a higher rate of equality as the girl is portrayed as the dominant character in almost half of all scenes.
