Syfte: Syftet är att med hjälp av två projektutvärderingsmodellerna studera två olika projekt och se hur dessa fungerar i praktiken samt komma fram till vilka beståndsdelar en adekvat samt välfungerande projektutvärdering bör innehålla. Metod: Jag har valt en kvalitativ metodansats där fem intervjuer har genomförts för att nå djupare förståelse för det valda ämnet. Intervjuerna har varit semistrukturerade i sitt slag då jag har använt mig av två olika utvärderingsmodeller som utgångspunkt i intervjuprocessen. Resultat och slutsats: Det fanns vissa skillnader samt likheter mellan de två utvärderingsmodellerna vilka jag har redogjort för och därefter har jag tydliggjort de delar som jag anser att en utvärderingsmodell bör bestå av för att fungera på ett adekvat sätt. De huvudsakliga punkter som jag kom fram till var; val av utvärderingsinriktning, tidpunkt för utvärderingsarbetet, typ av frågeställningar, utvärderingspart samt anledningen till utvärdering. Förslag på fortsatt forskning: Det skulle vara intressant att utvärdera ett enda projekt med hjälp av båda utvärderingsmodellerna för att på ett tydligare sätt se skillnaderna mellan Reflectmetodiken och Åttapunktsprogrammet. Förslag på andra val av fortsatt forskning är en mer djupgående analys av Reflectmetodikens olika fokusområden samt deras placeringar och viktningar på Reflectus positioneringskarta. Uppsatsens bidrag: Jag hoppas att min studie kan bidra till en ökad förståelse för begreppet projektutvärdering samt framhäva vikten av denna process och dessutom bidra till fortsatt forskning inom mitt valda ämne.

This study investigates the dynamic of hope, specifically the Christian hope as it is expressed in the expectation of Christ's return. This belief has a number of implications, and affects the believer's attitude to God, man and the world, the relationship to past, present and future events, and the understanding of meaning and purpose in life. The examination of the belief in the parousia is primarily concerned with the question "why?" The question "Why the parousia?" is basic to this thesis, and the various sections reflect the different modes of answer. Section One examines the belief as it is portrayed in the New Testament by a brief review of its role and importance (with several examples), followed by a more interpretative analysis of the concept of the "God who comes," and the implications of the parousia parables. Section Two provides a wide-ranging summary of the different manifestations of the parousia hope in Christian history, along with some comment and analysis of its influences and consequences. Section Three illustrates the implications and effects of a strong parousia belief through an account of the nineteenth century Millerite movement. Section Four, enters into greater detail with an examination of the role that the parousia belief plays within a group that strongly affirms its importance: the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This examination is both on a personal and community level, and provides considerable material for understanding the factors influencing the adoption and consequent effects of this belief. Section Five reviews the interpretation of the parousia belief in modern theology and comments on the relative attitudes and outlooks that result both from an acceptance of the belief and from its denial. This leads on to a discussion of the concept of the "delay," a major influence on the parousia belief in contemporary thought. Section Six provides some synthesis of the various elements of the parousia belief, and also indicates other more abstract implications and components. The parousia belief is seen as a part of an ordered belief structure; then as a major belief in terms of hope, consummation, termination, purpose, vindication and so on. Yet finally it is the temporal aspect so frequently noted in other Sections that is of greatest importance, and the interaction of time and the parousia provides the conclusion -- the concept of a dynamic, time-related belief that activates the present out of the future.

Large Language Models were developed during the 2010s, and chatbots like ChatGPT quickly became popular. The continued development of LLMs led to tools with specific use cases, one of which is software development. In this study, eight different LLMs are tested on their ability to solve the programming challenge Advent of Code. Advent of Code consists of 25 problems, each with two parts. Each LLM is given five attempts to try to solve the problem by generating Python code, and after each attempt, feedback is provided to the tools on any issues with the solution. The results show that ChatGPT-4 and Github Copilot generated the most correct solutions, with ChatGPT-4 generating the most correct solutions on the first attempt. The quality of the code is also examined using SonarQube, and ChatGPT-4 is the best in this regard as well. Of the tools tested in this study, Google's Gemini and Gemini Advanced had the fewest correct solutions. Based on the results of this study, it is clear that these LLMs are good at generating code, but Advent of Code 2023 is too difficult to solve. Despite this, these tools demonstrate that they can be useful for programmers.

The motif of hastening the Lord's coming: 2 Peter 3:1-13 and its alleged parallels and background is a study of an aspect of 2 Peter's message and the problems related to that aspect. The study consists of seven chapters. Chapter one is an orientative survey of 2 Peter research defining and describing the nature and scope of the problems which are investigated in later chapters, as well as indicating the importance of the study and its general outline. In chapter two, broad hermeneutical issues which influence the investigation in chapters three, four, five and six are highlighted. Chapter three investigates the use and meanings of a1fe 6 6 <.t> derivatives in the New Testament and finds out that apart from 2 Peter, those concerned are generally not explicitly used in association with Christ's Parousia. In chapter four, relevant sections of 2 Peter are exegeted to determine this motifs role and meaning within the message of 2 Peter. Chapter four's investigation finds out that this salient motif in 2 Peter emphasises the Christian community's role of being God's important partner in the achievement of the eschatological promises associated with Christ's Parousia. Chapter five then studies alleged parallels of this motif in the New Testament outside of 2 Peter and finds out that the ideas, which 2 Peter expressed through this motif are echoed within most of the passages. In chapter six the religious background of 2 Peter is investigated and it is discovered that ideas expressed through this motif in 2 Peter appear to be generally in discontinuity with those contained in the investigated backgrounds. The final chapter highlights the contemporary relevance of the study with reference to (i) New Testament study in general, (ii) 2 Peter research in particular; and (iii) the calling and responsibilities of the church in the context of today's problems. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / D.
