The mission was to create a prototype of a menu system for the companySystem Andersson AB. The instructions were that it has to be as interesting andmodern now as in 20 years. We had to look at technology from the cutting edgeof development to make our prototype survive in the future. WindowsPresentation Foundation (WPF) was the technique we focused on. There areonly a few applications that take advantage of WPF today, but it is predictedthat WPF will be the next generation method for developing applications to theWindows platform.To make our menu visually appealing, easy to use and at the same timefunctional, we followed the clear path and guidelines that are available ininteraction design.

AbstractIn this study you are going to meet the Nordic Good Thor.

Syftet i vår kandidatuppsats var att belysa gymnasieungdomars egna berättelser av sin presentation på Facebook och Instagram, och hur användandet påverkar deras identitetsskapande samt deras tankar kring användandet av dessa sociala medier. Vår studie är gjord utifrån en kvalitativ ansats där vi intervjuat nio ungdomar i tre fokusgrupper. De använda teorierna i studien består av det dramaturgiska perspektivet av Erving Goffman och modernitet och självidentitet av Anthony Giddens. Tillsammans med dessa används också aktuell forskning inom området.Resultatet visar att Facebook och Instagram är en stor del av gymnasieungdomarnas vardagliga liv och att de deltar för att de inte vill vara utanför. Forumen står för kommunikation med kontaktnätet, underhållning och vardaglig uppdatering om event och publicering av bilder på speciella händelser.

Brownout-fenomenet ligger till grund för ungefär 75 procent av alla flygolyckor inom NATO. Olyckorna sker under start och landningssekvenser i torra klimat då sand virvlar upp och försämrar pilotens sikt utifrån helikoptern. Under brownout förlorar piloten visuella referenser utanför helikoptern vilket gör att denne omedvetet kan tappa kontrollen över helikoptern och således kan hamna i plötsligt drift. Därför har NATO i samarbete med bland annat Totalförsvarets Forskningsinstitut (FOI) försökt finna en lösning på problemen som uppstår vid brownout. Syftet med föreliggande studie är främst att undersöka om deltagares användning av taktila driftdisplayer leder till mindre drift än vid användning av en visuell driftdisplay samt undersöka med vilken av de taktila displayerna som leder till minst drift.

Syftet med detta examensarbete var att kommunikativt sänka kraven på musikkulturell förkunskap vid interaktion med det digitala musikarkivet Every Noise At Once. Studien tog stöd i teorier inom kognitiv semantik och teknisk kommunikation.De metoder som användes var omvärldsanalys, expertintervjuer och receptionsanalys. Längs arbetets gång formades en hypotes som sedan prövades genom empirisk datainsamling och analys av denna.Resultatet antydde att vi förstår musik, och gör oss språkligt förstådda om musik, via taktila och visuella metaforer. Detta resultat guidade sedan gestaltningen av en prototyp där utvalda akustiska attribut översattes till liknelser med taktil och visuell koppling. .

This paper investigates the presentation of Islam in textbooks used in the study of religion in high schools. The papers focus on two main questions concerning the ways in which Islam is presented in the analysed textbooks, and how the new curriculum has influenced the portrayal of Islam in the materials. Here, the paper utilizes a method of critical discourse analysis with Faircloughs three-dimensional analysis. The paper then concludes that the presentation of Islam is negative in nature, with the content and view of Islam having been simplified and stereotyped. Often the textbooks studied frame Islam as being an aggressive and oppressive religion, especially in matters con-cerning women.

I uppsatsen undersöks Svenska kyrkans bekännelseskrifter samt tio konfirmandböcker som är utgivna mellan åren 1942 och 2007. Syftet med uppsatsen är att, med utgångspunkt i Svenska kyrkans bekännelseskrifter, undersöka hur material som under modern tid varit och är vanligt förekommande i Svenska kyrkans konfirmandarbete presenterar dopet, dvs. vad som sägs och hur det sägs, samt om och i så fall hur detta material återspeglar bekännelseskrifternas presentation av dopet.Uppsatsen behandlar frågorna om hur dopet presenteras i bekännelseskrifterna respektive konfirmandböckerna, om det finns samstämmighet mellan dessa samt om det går att se någon förändring i samstämmigheten över tid. Konfirmandböcker jämförs dels gentemot bekännelseskrifterna och dels gentemot varandra.Undersökningen visar att det finns en spännvidd i de konfirmandmaterial som undersökts och den kan ses som ett uttryck för varje tids försök att svara på frågan hur kyrkan gör sitt budskap relevant för tidens konfirmander. Undersökningen visar även att bekännelseskrifternas funktion som något som varje tids teologiska reflektion kan ta avstamp i är tydlig.

The purpose of this paper has been to examine the heavy metal band Sabatons use of history and to relate it to societal trends in today?s Sweden. I have examined Sabatons music, album covers and music videos in order to define a certain use of history. To do this I have used a use of history theory and a heavy metal theory. My results showed that some of Sabatons use of history could be defined as commercial and that the societal trends in today`s Sweden have in some cases affected the selection and presentation of events and characters that`s been portrayed by Sabaton.
