Today many companies are global and can exist all over the world. It is more common that projects are conducted in different locations, from various cities in a country to nations in different parts of the world. To manage projects both traditional practices such as the Waterfall method and new flexible methods known as agile methods are used. How is the process affected when a project is distributed, when the team is scattered in different places? This makes it difficult to create a good project, something we will discuss and try to find solutions for.

Att uppleva oro och ångest inför en operation är vanligt och kan manifestera sig såväl psykologiskt som fysiologiskt hos patienten. Flertalet mätinstrument och omvårdnadsåtgärder existerar, med syfte att finna och lindra oro och ångest. Avsikten med denna systematiska litteraturöversikt var att beskriva omvårdnadsåtgärder för att lindra patienters preoperativa oro och ångest. Genom litteratursökning i sex databaser, bland annat PubMed, CINAHL och Psychinfo, framkom fyra kategorier av interventioner: Att få information via video: Att få skriftlig eller muntlig information: Att lyssna på musik och: Att få känna värme eller beröring. Resultatet visade att samtliga omvårdnadsåtgärder mer eller mindre lindrade oro och ångest, där relationen mellan patient och vårdgivare, och individanpassade interventioner var viktiga, exempelvis då musiksmak hade betydelse, eller att viss information inte var nödvändig.

Detta arbete gick ut på att undersöka ifall två spelmekaniskt identiska spelprototyper med två olika grafiska stilar kunde påverka en spelares uppfattning av spelupplevelsen. Syftet var inte att undersöka hur det påverkar utan om det påverkar. Arbetet utgick ifrån att undersöka grafiska stilar, skapa två spelprototyper samt undersöka och bryta ner spelupplevelsen med hjälp av Swinks bok om Game Feel. Åtta respondenter deltog i speltest och intervjuer vilket ledde till data som kunde konstatera att en grafisk presentation, en grafisk stil, påverkar en spelares upplevelser av ett spel. Datan kan inte påvisa hur, däremot att det sker något, trots mekaniskt identiska spel.

When a videogame is being played it is rarely a static experience. A videogame can consist of various systems that affect each other in an unpredictable manner which makes the player experience unique for every player.Throughout the years developers of games have used random chance in a games programming to affect the user experience. Sometimes it even goes so far as to having entire games based around the idea of the game itself randomly generating content for a player to experience.This paper will examine randomly generated content in videogames. It will take examples from existing ones and describe how they use it, and reason regarding the benefits and drawbacks of having random chance affect the user experience.The paper will step-by-step examine the purpose of various commonly occurring objects and features of a typical dungeon in an adventure videogame. It will reason around their purpose, and figure out ways to use them in a structured  manner so that we can guarantee that there will be no deadlocks that the player can't overcome.This will range from the environments in rooms, the shape of them, to the objects and creatures that inhabit them, such as locked doors, keys, and bosses.

The first aim of the thesis is to analyse the problems of trust, according to game theory, in the Russian market for private pensions insurance. The second aim is to find suitable strategies to solve the problems. Problems of trust have arisen because, (i) buyers of insurance have had negative experiences when dealing with insurance companies and corruption has decreased trust for all players in the market, (ii) incomplete information makes it difficult to separate honest actors from dishonest, and (iii) dishonest insurance companies do not get punished because of corruption and weaknesses in the law. Mutual risk-sharing is a potential solution as necessary conditions already exist in the Russian society. There are groups who (i) share the same type of risks, (ii) are aware of moral hazards, and (iii) are able to control each other.

I dagens växande spelindustri är det vanligt att abstrahera ut delar av kodbasen till ett så kallat skriptspråk. Genom dennaskriptdel är det vanligt att det programmeras "in-game"-nära handlingar som kan utvecklas av rena skriptare istället förprogrammerare som istället kan koncentrera sig på att utveckla själva spelmotorn. Det finns en uppsjö av olika skriptspråksom alla har sina för- och nackdelar. Ett av de mest kända språken inom spelindustrin än Lua. Paradox Interactive har själva utvecklat ett eget skriptspråk som de använder. Deras önskemål var att undersöka hurvida detär möjligt att idag använda Lua istället.

Rollspel är en form av sällskapsspel som går ut på att deltagarna tillsammans berättar en historia, som ofta utspelar sig i fiktiva världar och utgår från perspektivet av den enskilda spelarens skapade rollperson. En av deltagarna är spelledare och är den som skildrar spelets miljöer och karaktärer.I studien diskuteras rollspelens identitetsskapande och sociala funktion samt rollspel som kunskaps- och färdighetsfrämjande, med utgångspunkt i tanken att rollspel kan skapa ett intresse för och främja bearbetandet av existentiella frågor. En enkät utdelad till trettio rollspelare samt fem mer djupgående intervjuer av erfarna spelare visar att rollspelsdeltagare genom spelet utforskar och behandlar existentiella frågor, samt att spelare själva rapporterar om rollspelandets positiva inflytande på det individuella och sociala livet samt spelandets kunskaps-, färdighets- och intressefrämjande förmåga..
