The authors have chosen to focus on travelers who are waiting.
Kort speltid ? djupt intryck: spel som hyrfilm
SVENSKA:
Vårt kandidatarbete gick ut på att ta reda på om det var möjligt att utveckla
ett kort spel i hög teknisk kvalitet och ändå skapa ett djupt intryck på
spelaren. Under projektets gång utvecklade vi, med hjälp av UDK (Unreal
Development Kit), ett skräckspel i 3D till PC vid namn The Horror at MS Aurora.
För att erhålla den höga tekniska kvaliteten som vi var ute efter användes
metoder som räknas som standard för stora speltitlar på marknaden: Animationer
spelades in med Motion Capture och musiken skrevs med en full symfoniorkester i
åtanke. Innan produktionsfasen tog vid gick alla gruppmedlemmarna igenom en
research-fas, där var och en satte sig in i de områden som skulle komma att
vara aktuella under produktionen (d.v.s. hur UDK fungerar, musikteori och
orkestrationsteknik, hur man arbetar med Motion Capture-data o.s.v.).

New arenas are built around Sweden to meet the increasing demands to host such events. Event projects are carried out in Sweden and it is important that the planning phase is carried out thoroughly to get a successful project.

Shareholder value - The American way and the Swedish game to play? : En studie om ideologisk förändring i svensk bolagsstyrning
Shareholder value has its origin in the American corporate governance system and has been the subject of great debate over the last few decades. The proponents claim that it creates economic efficiency while the critics argue that maximization of shareholder value jeopardizes the long term survival of companies. However, the debate in Sweden already seems to have forgotten the question of how embedded the ideology really is and what´s leading its way. This study show that shareholder value has developed and been established in Swedish companies between 1995 and 2005. The study has found evidence that suggests that the development can primarily be linked to board networks and international exposure.
Starka kvinnor och männen i deras skugga : En maskulinitetsstudie i Cirkeln
This paper investigates the relationship between the two modernist writers Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf. The two authors had a frail and complicated friendship that influenced their fiction and fictional characters more than the general public knows. My paper investigates how Woolf can have found her fictional story ideas direct from their friendship. With a comparative theory I?m finding and giving examples of how their friendship is reflected in their fictional stories, and I?m backing up my examples with citations from their own diaries, letters and notebooks.
Hatten, dockan, capen, byrån : ting och tinglighet hos Djuna Barnes
The inhuman element in Djuna Barnes?s works has been widely acknowledged. So far the research has, however, concerned itself primarily with animality, thus neglecting the importance of things and thingliness in her texts. In this essay I outline a new way of approaching Barnes were things are taken into account as a vital element in her literary world, using theories on prostheses, fetishes and souvenirs. In Nightwood and four of the short stories, ?A Night Among the Horses?, ?Aller et Retour?, ?Cassation?, and ?The Grande Malade?, I examine clothing, interiors, collections, statues and dolls as objects that in different ways harbour meaning, dream, riddle, memory, history, longing and desire.
Överföring av digital video via FireWire
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.
Slusseneländet
Stockholm is constantly growing and changing. Despite this, for various reasons, it is difficult to execute large building projects. With starting-point in decision making theories we have tried to investigate these difficulties. More specifically we have chosen to study why it has not been possible to rebuilt Slussen in Stockholm. To help us structure our study we have based our research on another large comparable building project, the Globen City project.

Otillräcklighetens diagnoser : Kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med stressrelaterad ohälsa.
This essay discusses the problems with the high rate of long-term sickness leave among women in Sweden. It is based on interviews with six women suffering from stress-related illness. The results show that these women hardly ever recieved an explicit diagnosis and therefore did not feel that their illness was acknowledged. In the abscense of measurable symptoms they were sometimes stigmatisized and accused of simulating their problems. From this position they tried to legitimize their situation by presenting themselves as respectable women.
Culpa in contrahendo och vissa liknande frågor
Culpa in contrahendo är en skadeståndsrättslig term och betyder vårdslöshet vid avtalets ingående. Culpa in contrahendo uppstod som en mellanlösning mellan det kontraktsrättliga och det utomobligatoriska ansvaret. Vanligen kan culpa in contrahendo aktualiseras i fall där vårdslösheten har uppstått i förhandlingar som inte leder till avtal men kan även förekomma vid förhandlingar som har lett till avtal. Syftet med denna uppsats är att reda ut vad som är gällande rätt. Jag har även tittat lite på den europeiska skadeståndsrätten.
