The overall purpose of this essay is to come to a deeper understanding about videos in the Youtube beauty community by using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods. By answering the main questions of the essay which are; What quantitatively measurable components are there in the videos that can be seen as contributing factors leading to the fact that some generate more views that others?; Is there a set mold for success containing certain aspects that a video must have to stand out?; What correlations can be found between the two categories of analysis and how do these potential correlations affect the popularity of the video? and What effects do specific components on the level of popularity of the video?, we?ve been able to distinguish differences as well as similarities on both qualitative and quantitative levels. We have also seen that using the two methods together have enabled us to reach more profound results. The main result that we have found on a quantitative level is that there are obvious correlations between a high level of popularity and a good visual quality.

A numerical simulation case involving space plasma and the evolution of instabilities that generates very fast electrons, i.e. approximately at half of the speed of light, is used as a test bed for scientific visualisation techniques. A visualisation system was developed to provide interactive real-time animation and visualisation of the simulation results. The work focuses on two themes and the integration of them. The first theme is the storage and management of the large data sets produced.

It becomes increasingly more important that, as a new buisness, both to be seen and heard in an increasingly harder competition situation where the range of similar products and services increase. It requires a well planned and well thought visual profile to succesfully stand out on the market. To give a good impression, this profile should be both distinct and aesthetically appealing. In the making of a new profile it requires creativity to succesfully think in new directions and to separate from the competition.This practical report presents the production process for a designsolution to the new website Röstförmedlingen (Voice agency), a commission from the production and commercial bureau Bartos media. The task in this project was to create a graphic profile and a lofi-prototype that would represent Röstförmedlingen as a buissness.

There is respect for the history of dance and my aim is to find out how the history affects the dancing youth today. The design of the dance lesson is often of a traditional stereotypical manner, both didactic and methodic, and it rarely appears to be questioned. I have danced for almost 20 years and I am a part of this tradition of movements, music, language and way of ?being?. My ambition with this study is to go outside my own experience and offer insight and an overall picture of a, for the outsider, closed world.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate how VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) is used in the prehospital environment, and describe how patients 40 years and older with acute chest pain describe their pain with help of VAS. Further, to investigate how the literature describes other instruments to evaluate pain. Method: This was a descriptive study and used both literature and empiric material as foundation. The selection consist of the paramedics medical record from one emergency department, 100 men and 100 women with chest pain witch had been transported with ambulance to one hospital in middle of Sweden. A literature review was done in order to see what previous research recommends for pain rating scales.Results: The study showed that 71 (35 %) of 200 individuals pain were rated with VAS according to the guidelines for the ambulance department.

The building industry are currently going through a huge alteration. The introduction of BIM (Building Information Modeling). Which also implements a lot of new ways of solving problems that building modeling can cause. This report is written for Uppsala University in cooperation with Temagruppen in Uppsala. However, it contains a comparison between two different systems that checks building models.

This work is a study in how I as a designer can create the conditions for people to work, socializing and refreshments at one place. A place that encourages creativity, where I made a suggestion at a community table designed for Urban Deli?s new business. By visiting various similar sites I have identified what I think is important in an environment like this and then gave an answer to it in a visual form.A cafe-office will draw lots of different people. Which guests come here to work? Residents, freelancers, but also those who may want surrounded by a new creative work place and maybe leave their regular offices for a day at Urban Deli.

The main purpose of this essay is to study ideas concerning the concept of ?art? within the discourse of the exhibition space that is part of a fanart community. In order to do so I have used a hermeneutical and to some extent structuralistic, discourse analysis. I have examined structure and rhetorics in two established and popular communities, Fanart-Central and deviantART.My conclusions states that personal ideas regarding artistic value are undermined the joint policies, because of a collective rhetoric somewhat inherent in the community structure.When a lot of works are being based on internal knowledge of symbolics and historical narratives, this may to some extent have consequences where unfamiliar observers might fail to notice elements of possible significance. Moreover, certain interests in keeping a united front of ?quality art? may also affect a general idea immediate to what signifies fanart.

Inledning: Begreppet kreativitet används inom restaurangbranschen och av massmedia som positiv egenskap hos kockar. Forskningen visar att kreativa maträtter och produkter utvecklas när kockar kommunicerar med personer från andra discipliner. Unga kockar tränas traditionsenligt att bli skickliga hantverkare för att repetera mästerkockarnas maträtter. I kocktävlingen Årets Kock uppmuntras kockar till kreativitet, maträtterna som de tävlande kockarna skapar bedöms av tidigare vinnare och mästerkockar som vill bli både överraskade och samtidigt känna igen sig.Syfte: Syftet är att belysa vad begreppet kreativitet står för inom gastronomi och matlagning, med särskild inriktning mot vad kreativitet står för som det kommer till uttryck vid bedömningen av maträtterna i kocktävlingen Årets Kock.Metod och material: Flera metoder har använts för att öka förståelsen för eventet och kocktävlingen Årets Kock. Tävlingsledningen har intervjuats och matbilderna från åren 2007 - 2012 på de vinnande maträtterna har analyserats.

Bakgrund: De två globala normsättarna IFRS och FASB arbetar hårt för att ta fram en förstaglobal standard om intäktsredovisning. Eftersom IFRS är principbaserad och enprincipbaserad redovisning lättare kan öka jämförbarheten är det IFRS som har fått ett störregenomslag på den internationella redovisningen.Problem: Hur en harmoniserad intäktsredovisningen skett i dagligvaruhandelsbranschen de10 senaste åren fram till den globala standardens introduktion.Syfte: Studiens syfte är att granska de utvalda koncernerna samt via teori samt empiri utredaproblematik, skillnader samt likheter i olika handelshus intäktsredovisning under åren 2003 -2012.Avgränsningar: Undersökningen relateras till intäkter som redovisas för de fem undersöktaföretagen enligt IAS 18, RR 11 och BFNAR 2003:3, men inte till IAS 11- Entreprenadavtal.Samtidigt följs redovisningen enligt IFRIC 13 och IFRIC 15.Metod: Fyra utvalda större handelshus inom dagligvaruhandelsbranschen granskas i dettaexamensarbete. De granskas under åren 2003 - 2012 för att få en god översikt av vadimplementeringen av IFRS har inneburit för harmoniseringen av den externa redovisningenavseende intäktsredovisningen utifrån en mest hermeneutiskt synpunkt men med vissaelement av de positivistiska metodernas tillvägagångssätt. Studien söker fram kvantitativ ochkvalitativ information om företagets identitet och relationen mellan företag och omvärlden,försöker använda de kvantitativa siffrorna i en positivist kvantitativ modell för branschen mendiskuterar även de viktigaste aspekterna utifrån en kvalitativ undersökning och etthermeneutisk perspektiv.Resultat: Företagets redovisning anses i större omfattning harmoniserad trots olikaföretagsidentitet. Samtidigt som den är harmoniserad kan siffrorna ha olika betydelse för olikasorters företag.Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Att undersöka samma fem företag i 10 år efter att den globalastandarden för intäktsredovisning introducerats..

How can we use modern X-ray technology to raise awareness of the information that is hidden in historic upholstery? The materials and techniques add information to the history object in question and  about a profession that is sparsely documented in our country. The knowledge we have today has largely been obtained by studying damaged upholstery, or by removing the show cover and upholstery, a technique which involves high risk of damaging the upholstery. X-ray technology offers  a non- intrusive way to examine historical upholstery.Through case studies, I examined four artefacts. The artefacts went trough an inititial visual exam before being transported to The National Heritage Board in Visby where they underwent a thorough X-ray exam.

Ett av de viktigaste ämnena inom sociologin är frågan om social stratifiering. En viktig aspekt inom forskningen om social stratifiering är att undersöka hur kunskap ?fördelas? mellan olika grupper i samhället. Mycket av den tidigare forskningen inom detta ämne har undersökt skillnader i utbildningsnivå mellan olika grupper. År 2012 genomförde emellertid OECD en stor kunskapsundersökning (PIAAC) i en rad industrialiserade länder.

The diegetic game world places high demands on how it is designed. It is common that game developers wants to create a deeper player immersion and some developers believe to achieve this by integrating HUD elements into the game world. To find out how digital games can rely on the design of the game world, we performed user studies on beginners who have very limited experience of playing digital games. By observing the beginners, we could discern the visual aspects in the diegesis that helps players understand the game rules and objectives because the beginners won`t make their choices based on previous gaming experiences. If players encounter a variety of difficulties to understand the rules of a game, then it will less likely be a successful game.
