This document chronicles the lighting design and production process of Jonathan Larson's RENT at SIU between the pre-design analysis stage in March 2012 and opening night on October 18, 2012 from an analytic perspective focusing on the relationship between lighting design and other major production elements. The first chapter details my artistic, pragmatic, and personal goals regarding the project. The second chapter exhibits my analysis and research of Larson's musical. By examining the incubation, selection, and implementation phases of the design and production process, the third chapter defines the methods by which I accomplished the project goals. The fourth and final chapter is an evaluation of the design and production process outcome in relation to the goals laid out in the first. The appendices include all documents associated with the design process: inspirational and research imagery, idea renderings, the lighting plot and paperwork, and production photographs. Two supplementary files are included alongside this document. The first is a collection of all pertinent lighting design paperwork and the second is a video compilation including a rendered flythrough of the scenery and several clips of performance footage referenced in Chapter Three.

This thesis document is a revisiting of the technical direction of Southern Illinois University's production of RENT. In it, in Chapter One, you will see background on the production itself with a table illustrating a breakdown of scenes from the script and technical challenges for each. Following this, Chapter Two begins discussion of the process I, as the technical director, went through, including preparation, the build itself, and the strike process. The final chapter of this document is a self-reflecting section where the issues I encountered during the process are addressed, and ways I can improve as a technical director are indicated.

The aim of the thesis is to determine the amount of economic rent for an apartment building in Jindřichův Hradec. Firstly, there is calculated the amount of the running coasts of the apartment house. As follows, the market survey in Jindřichův Hradec reveals the amount of rent in apartments of different sizes and dispositions. From the stated values it is determined the economic rent, which is compared with the real amount of the rent obtained by the owner of the apartment house.

Hyresnämnden är den myndighet i Sverige dit lokalhyresmarknadens parter kan hänskjuta tvister beträffande de villkor som görs gällande för ett fortsatt lokalhyresförhållande. Nämndens huvudsakliga uppgift är att medla mellan hyresgästen och hyresvärden för att och på så vis underlätta en förlikning. Detta åstadkommer hyresnämnden genom att kalla parterna till ett sammanträde i vilket parterna ges möjlighet att presenteras sina yrkanden samt de invändningar som finns till motpartens yrkade material. I de fall parterna inte kan nå en överenskommelse ska hyresnämnden på begäran, avge ett marknadsyttrande, vilket är en myndighetsutövning och vars bedömning ska vara konsekvent och förutsebar. Detta examensarbete har som syfte att studera förfarandet i hyresnämnden och då framförallt den process som leder fram till ett marknadsyttrande. Studiens huvudsakliga frågeställning är att undersöka om hyresnämnden värderar hyreskontraktens klausuler, och om så görs, vilka metoder och teorier ligger till grund för denna bedömning. Studien har utgått från elva intervjuer som innefattar representanter från hyresnämnden och juridiska ombud som representerar parterna i processen. Slutsatserna i examensarbetet visar på att hyresnämnden inte använder sig av några ekonomiska modeller eller teorier vid bedömning av marknadshyran. Det är istället hyresrådets och intresseledamöternas erfarenhet och subjektiva bedömningar som ligger till grund för marknadsyttrandet. I denna bedömning beaktas framförallt fysiska attribut medan kontraktuella klausuler behandlas som bakgrundsmaterial. Vidare kan det konstateras att hyresnämnden inte företar några större justeringar för att möjliggöra en jämförelse mellan de inlämnande lokaler, med undantaget för taxebundna kostnader som justeras med schablonbelopp. Detta får anses anmärkningsvärt eftersom examensarbete har presenterat ekonomiska modeller som möjliggöra en jämförelse genom användandet av den ekvivalenta hyran. Avslutningsvis kan det konstateras att de intervjuade parterna anser att hyresnämnden fyller sin funktion som en medlande part och underlättar således ett förlikningsöverenskommelse mellan hyresgästen och hyresvärden.

Uno de los principales problemas que afecta la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos es el tráfico y congestión vehicular. Basados en dicha problemática, en el presente informe se investigará la situación actual y verificará la existencia de dicho problema en la ciudad de Lima, Perú. Asimismo, se propondrá una idea de negocio la cual, permitirá contrarrestar dicho mal. Para ello, se evaluaron posibles soluciones y se reconoció como medio alternativo de transporte a la bicicleta, como la micro movilidad más adecuada para atacar el obstáculo referido en nuestra ciudad. Principalmente, la propuesta de solución que se ofrece a lo largo del presente informe, es el alquiler de bicicletas pertenecientes a habitantes de Lima a quienes en adelante llamaremos Arrendadores, hacia terceros llamados Arrendatarios quienes pagarán y accederán a dichos transportes. Además, dicha transacción podrá realizarse a través de una plataforma (aplicación) que nosotros facilitaremos para poner en contacto a solicitantes de bicicletas con personas que quieren poner en alquiler la propia. A fin de validar y levantar información, se realizaron entrevistas y encuestas que validaron nuestras hipótesis. Asimismo, se fijó un precio tomando como referencia el precio base de las empresas competidoras. Finalmente, se realizaron tanto proyecciones financieras como el análisis de las mismas y finalmente, se comprobó la viabilidad, además, la rentabilidad del proyecto. / One of the main problems affecting the quality of life of citizens is traffic and traffic jam. Based on this problem, this report will investigate the current situation and verify the existence of this problem in the city of Lima, Peru. Likewise, a business idea will be proposed which will allow counteracting said condition. For that purpose, possible solutions were evaluated and recognized as an alternative means of transport to the bicycle, as the most appropriate micro mobility to attack this obstacle in our city. Mainly, the proposed solution that is offered throughout this report is the rental of bicycles belonging to habitants of Lima whom we will now call Landlords, to third parties called Tenants who will pay and access to said transports. In addition, this transaction would be carried out through a platform (application) that we will facilitate to contact bicycle applicants with people who want to rent their own. In order to validate and gather information, interviews and surveys were conducted that validated our hypotheses. Likewise, a price was set based on the base price of the competing companies. Finally, both financial projections and their analysis were made and finally, the viability was verified, in addition, the profitability of the project. / Trabajo de investigación

From the 1850s Glasgow was a major industrial, commercial and mercantile city, with notoriously poor working-class housing. During the 1915 Rent Strike many women physically resisted rent increases and prevented evictions from the tenements. The strikes ended when the Government passed the Rent Restrictions Act 1915, which returned rents to pre-war levels. This was in response to a political and working-class struggle that challenged the rule of law. Rather than focussing narrowly on the role of the women alone, or on the strike as inspiration for anti-capitalist resistance, the 2015 Centenary seemed opportune to examine why the Rent Strike was successful, its place in the longer struggle for decent housing, the role of the Independent Labour Party (ILP) and its leaders, and their collaborations with labour and women’s organisations. From the 1890s the ILP was central to labour’s campaign in elections and in fostering political collaboration with many groups representing labour. John Wheatley and Patrick Dollan, former miners, were leaders in strengthening the ILP organisation and its community relations. This collaborative structure supported the women leading the rent resistance in the tenements. It was also the platform for Wheatley and Dollan, nationally and municipally, to continue their life-long work to improve the housing and living standards of working people. Wheatley became Minister of Health in 1924 in Britain’s first Labour Government, and Dollan was Lord Provost in Glasgow’s first majority Labour Council in 1938. Glasgow’s systemic anti-Irish and anti-Catholic prejudice has, surprisingly, remained unexamined in relation to the Rent Strike. Two historians claimed, without presenting evidence, that bigotry was overcome or briefly transcended. The evidence reviewed here indicated that it did not go away, but that it had no impact on the Rent Strike as it simply offered no stimulus or opportunity to express the existing racist or religious prejudice. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA) / Glasgow, with notoriously poor working-class housing, was a major centre in 1915 for British engineering, munitions and shipbuilding industries during the First World War. Women who lived in Glasgow’s tenements organised rent strikes and physically resisted rent increases and evictions. They were supported by the Independent Labour Party and the collaborations it developed before and during the war with organisations representing the interests of women and labour. These strikes, the rent agitations in England, and the threat of industrial action in Glasgow, forced the Government to pass the Rent Restrictions Act 1915, which limited rents to pre-war levels. Two former miners, John Wheatley and Patrick Dollan, were leaders in organising this class victory. They recognised the Act’s limitations and then worked nationally and municipally in the longer struggle for better working-class housing. Glasgow’s systemic anti-Irish and anti-Catholic bigotry did not disappear but played no significant role during the Rent Strike.
