The IT industry is constantly evolving and it's more or less a requirement today for web developers to be familiar with and to be able to develop for all platforms. A technique that has taken hold and is now widely used is responsive design. Developing responsive design means adapting the layout to the viewing environment; the screen size. Another useful method when developing for different devices is the mobile first theory, which means developing for the mobile screen first. This is done to scale down the site and to clear unnecessary information in order to provide a better user experience.

The concept of art infusion has become more and more used in the field of marketing and product advertising, and the phenomenon has been subject to research. The purpose of this paper is to study how the perception of an office environment is influenced by different kinds of art settings. The study is made as a survey in which the respondents have been exposed to working environments, only differentiated by the existence of different kinds of art or non-existence of art in the presentation. There are many conclusions to draw from the study, the most important is that the presence of art gives positive spillover effects on the surrounding environment..

Purpose of this essay is to conduct a style analysis of Swedish silent film posters with visual storytelling and cultural memory as a theoretical basis. Concepts such as design, color and technique are studied to highlight the historical context of Swedish silent film posters..

Tanken med vårt examensarbete var att vi skulle ge oss själva en bra start i arbetslivet. Dels genom att komma igång mer med låtskrivandet men framförallt att få inblick i vad som ska till för att vi senare ska kunna ta oss hela vägen. Att slå sig in i musikbranschen som låtskrivare/producent är ingen lätt uppgift och att göra sig ett namn som en sådan duo eller ett sådant team är få förunnat.Internet är ett bra forum att visa upp sig på men där om någonstans slåss man med många om uppmärksamheten. De moment som alltid varit viktiga finns fortfarande kvar trots Internets intåg. Produktion, presentation och kontaktnät är tre viktiga hörnstenar till den framgång som många söker..

In order to measure the quality of the logs, one can with help of Fast Fourier Transform technique get the signals resonance peaks. With help of these peaks you can see whether the quality of a tree is good or bad. This report contains the work of a where a program has been developed to be able to process a vibration created by an automatic hammer hitting on a log of wood. From the processed signal the program should be able to show both the raw wavesignal and the processed measured data from the resonance peaks. Beyond the raw wavesignal and resonance peaks the program should also be able to control the automatic hammer.

Augmented reality is a technology thatcombines the perception and interaction ofvirtual objects with the real world. Itcan allow a user to visually see computergenerated models and informationinteracting with the real world through ahand held device such as a tabletcomputer. This opens up a range ofpossibilities, especially in theconstruction sector. A construction siteis permanently changing and the need forprecise and updated information iscrucial. The ability to enhance the realworld with virtual objects and informationmay make many plans printed on paperabsolete.This report describes how workers in theconstruction sector would benefit fromusing augmented reality on a tablet innumerous situations and the technologyneeded to achieve AR on a tablet.

Today there are commercially available databases with active features, i.e. active mechanisms are available for development of information systems. But the usage of active mechanisms is low in practice. This is due to the insufficient methodological support in analysis and design for developing ECA rule based software. It has been proposed that one of the most suitable ways to tackle this problem is not to develop new methods but to extend existing methodologies.In this thesis an extension of the Object Modeling Technique (OMT) is developed, called OMT-A, which is able to model active rules.

Detta är en presentation om läsning och lässvårigheter, men betoningen ligger på läsinlärning, läsning och arbetssätt. Arbetet är gjort i form av en litteraturstudie för att vi ville se hur mycket böcker det fanns i ämnet, och om de kändes användbara. Vårt syfte har varit att bättre förstå hur läsning går till, vilka problem som kan uppstå samt vilka arbetssätt man kan använda i undervisningen. Vi vill att detta arbete ska kunna användas både av lärarstudenter och yrkesarbetande lärare..

Bakgrund: Målet med föräldrastöd i grupp är att det ska vara en stödjande miljö, att föräldrarna finner trygghet och utvecklar kunskap, får möjlighet till socialt nätverk och att alla har möjlighet till ett likvärdigt stöd. I Göteborg utvecklades år 2008 ett kursmaterial till stöd i föräldragrupp som innehåller en powerpointpresentation med olika ämnen, film, bilder och underlag till diskussion. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att utvärdera föräldrarnas uppfattning av stöd i föräldragrupp. Syftet var även att analysera hur nuvarande powerpointpresentation och stödet i föräldragrupp kan utvecklas. Metod: Metoden som använts var kvantitativ och kvalitativ analys av enkätdata.

????The aim is to examine how written production differs between students with and without difficulties in writing. The study also examine how different difficulties within writing interplay. It is based on analysis of ten-year old student texts with 30 texts from both an experimental and a control group. Texts were written in 1991.Both spelling, technique of writing and syntactic complexity differ between the groups.

This is a final year project considering constructional techniques for joining cavity walls. The project is related to an ongoing scientific programme about the restoration of The City wall of Visby located on Gotland. The programme was set by Riksantikvarieämbetet as a reaction to a collapse of the outer masonry wall shell which took place in February 2012.The City wall of Visby is a medieval fortification built out of limestone during the 13th century. The wall is constructed as a cavity wall with two separate masonry shells connected to each other through an intermediate core. During the 14th century the wall was heightened which lead to a higher stress, especially in the outer wall face.

Transmission of digital signals is today more frequently used than transmission of analog signals. One reason for this is that a digital signal is less sensitive to noise than an analog, another reason is that almost all signals today are handled in a digital format. This thesis describes the development of a system that receives digital video signals through FireWire. The standard for FireWire, which is a high performance serial bus, is under development. Today the standard of the bus supports transmission of data with a speed of up to 400 Mbit/s.

This essay examines the relationships between the different elements in Lisa Jonasson?s collage Existentiell Progg #6 and her very detailed technique. The essay has as its aims to understand and analyze both the details and the wholeness of the artwork and to try to put the collage in an art historical context. The thesis finds that Existentiell Progg #6 has a connection to the imagery of Africa and other collage artist such as Hannah Höch and Nancy Spero, which also gives the paper a perspective of feminism in the arts. The paper continues to create an understanding for the collage work by putting it in to Theodor Adorno?s theories about nature, the human being and the animal kingdom.
