Följande arbete handlar om hur kan pussel dra nytta av den estetiska utformningen av miljön i ett escape room. Arbetet har innefattat samarbete med andra studenter i skapandet av en artefakt av ett fysiskt escape room. Caillois taxonomi har används som ett designverktyg där semiotik och tidigare forskning av Scott Nicholson om escape rooms har komplimenterat de designval som övervägts i skapandeprocessen. Testerna av denna studie har utförts med studenter som från dataspelsutveckling. / <p>Artefakt??!!</p>

The purpose of our study was to examine how children in a municipal preschool inSweden describe the relationships they have with their peers. Throughout the study, wehave used a qualitative method with observations of children and conducting interviewswith them. We then analyzed how they describe and act in their existing relationships.The aim of our study was to observe if the hierarchy and the indoor environment havean impact on children’s relationships. We did this through interviews with the childrenabout their friendships amongst each other at the preschool.Our theoretical output was to observe and listen to the children through the participantperspective (Sommer, 2005) and the socio-cultural perspective (Säljö, 2000). During thestudy, we had a thesis that the perspectives would complement each other, which wassupported by our results. The two perspectives complement each other depending on theparticipating individual and the situation.The interviews showed that the children are well aware of how they should act towardstheir peers, but the observations show that they will use the means necessary to achievea higher position within the hierarchy. The result also showed that the relationships arenot in a static mode, but are in constant movement and are affected by the groupconstellation and the location of the play.

Undersökningen fokuserar på environmental storytelling påverkan på gruppdynamik mellan grupper som är större än normen i escape rooms i Europa. Studien utfördes i samarbete med Visit Karlsborg för att påbörja utvecklingen av deras framtida turistattraktion. Data samlades in från tidigare studier som använt sig av escape rooms, studerat grupper eller samlat data på escape rooms fenomenet. Problemformuleringen formades utefter problemet med en större grupp deltagare för rummen. Fältstudier genomfördes på plats i Karlsborgs fästning där Visit Karlsborg tänkt anordna rummen. Resultatet av undersökningen visar på att en mindre ökning av deltagare går att utföra där grupper upp emot tolv deltagare har en negativ påverkan på upplevelsen. Vidare studier inom ämnet bör fokusera på att skapa en mall förframtida escape rooms med fokus på gruppstorlek, rum storlek samt rummets design. / <p>[Artefakt?]</p>

To inhabit a space is to be within that space. The interiority of a room places emphasis on inhabitation. By inhabiting a room, one perceives the phenomenal qualities of that room. To inhabit a drawing is to do so imaginatively rather than perceptively. Perspective drawings can shape imagination by defining form, light, and context. They capture and frame an instant in space and time. The presence of light in a drawing creates an awareness of the outside. These qualities of drawings allow the viewer to imagine a room through inhabitation. A series of nine rooms were developed in perspective with elements articulated through tracing, translation, rotation, and refection. Three of these nine rooms were chosen for further investigation through drawing. Drawings were then tested against formal models. / Master of Architecture

The purposes of this study are: (1) to make an investigation of the home-room programs of the junior high schools in Wichita Falls, Texas, to discover what social guidance, if any, is offered to students; (2) to set up criteria for evaluating a social guidance program in a junior high school; and (3) to evaluate the social guidance programs of the home rooms in the junior high schools in Wichita Falls, Texas, in terms of the criteria set up for evaluation.

This Project demonstrates a constructive approach in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia where the building would be a symbol of luxury. The auto mall gives a common platform to different car makers to display their cars and address their competition under one roof which would be convenient for customers to compare cars. The building has twelve show room units. Each unit has a display area, offices, and a service area. The roof structure system facilitates a large open span beneath it. A series of concrete arches is the most significant element of design in the building since it not only holds the roof structure but also brings its individuality and defines the character of the building. With a free column plan beneath it, customers will have a better view of cars presented in show rooms. The structural system in lower floors is separated from the roof to facilitate a different structure system. This project is designed to attract tourists as well as local residents to address the growth and the new social life of the Middle East's wealthiest city. / Master of Architecture

Syftet med studien är att undersöka lärare samt studenters distanserade gruppdiskussioner inuti Zoom’s funktion breakout-rooms, samt hur studenternas engagemang följaktligen har påverkats. Studien är grundad i tre semistrukturerade fokusgrupper gjorda med studenter samt lärare med erfarenhet av distanserade gruppdiskussioner inuti breakout-rooms. Utifrån det empiriska materialet från fokusgrupperna framgår det tydligt att respondenterna till en stor del fokuserar på funktionalitet, flexibilitet samt sociala relationer och kameraanvändlighet. Utifrån det empiriska materialet framgår det att det funnits förmåner i form av en enkelhet och smidighet för lärarrespondenterna att utforma gruppdiskussioner, samt flexibiliteten som gett studenterna en ökad frihet. Emellertid framgår det utifrån studentrespondenterna att uppfattningen av distanseringen grundar sig i försämrad kommunikation med lärare och studenter, svårigheter i form av distraktioner samt en försämrad relation till sina klasskamrater, vilket följaktnings har påverkat studenternas engagemang negativt. / The purpose of the study is to examine teachers' and students' distant group discussions within Zoom's function breakout rooms, and how the students' involvement has consequently been affected. The study is based on three semi-structured focus groups made with students and teachers with experience of distant group discussions inside breakout rooms. Based on the empirical material from the focus groups, it is clear that the respondents largely focus on functionality, flexibility as well as social relations and camera usability. Based on the empirical material, it appears that there have been benefits in the form of a simplicity and flexibility for the teacher respondents to design group discussions, as well as the flexibility that has given the students increased freedom. However, it appears from the student respondents that the perception of distancing is based on impaired communication with teachers and students, difficulties in the form of distractions and a deteriorating relationship with their classmates, which consequently has affected students' commitment negatively.

A presente dissertação tem por objeto de análise os chats, as salas de bate-papo da Internet, de uma maneira algo diferenciada. Não se trata de cercar o objeto, mas de tentar alguma conversa com ele, de acompanhá-lo pelos bits afora. Grosso modo, este trabalho se divide em três partes principais ou capítulos. O primeiro capítulo trata de pôr a nu a relação entre pesquisador e objeto, e parte de sua composição encontra-se redigida em primeira pessoa. A idéia é mostrar como o objeto se apresenta ao pesquisador. Ou, reformulando em termos teóricos, como o sujeito (categoria que não usaremos neste trabalho) pode se comportar frente às investidas furtivas do objeto. O excerto final deste capítulo, Modus Operandi, trata da questão metodológica que guiará todo o texto ora apresentado. O segundo capítulo, onde as questões da subjetividade estão muito presentes, trata de mapear as mínimas unidades da cibercultura, seus personagens-bolha, e seu particular nomadismo na construção e desconstrução da tessitura social. Guerra, Controle, Terrorismo, são muitas as formas que a comunicação cibercultural toma e que não encontra uma tradução precisa antes da sociedade em rede. Isso quer dizer que as relações de poder também estão redesenhadas. Os dois últimos excertos deste capítulo procuram trabalhar como essas modalidades estranhas da comunicação espectral são vividas na contemporaneidade: como funcionam essas máquinas de subjetividade. O terceiro e último capítulo prende-se majoritariamente à questão da escritura do medium. Trata-se de discutir uma vez mais, embora por outro veio, como essas unidades compõem o texto imaterial da vida em rede. O debate sobre a linguagem, a imaginação e a sedução de um texto que já é em si mesmo uma imagem é parte de uma discussão que a teoria da comunicação não pode mais se furtar. Não bastaria discutir apenas como uma nova subjetividade é gerada por essas modalidades comunicacionais, também é preciso identificar como tais modalidades criam toda uma nova lógica comunicacional, como o ciclo se fecha e, assim, cria realidade. / The present dissertation concerns Internet chat-rooms making an effort to work them with a different approach. It is not about surrounding the object but trying a kind of conversation with them. It is an attempt to pursue it across bits. Roughly speaking, this work is divided in three major chapters or sections: The first chapter intends to clarify the relation between researcher and object embraced in this work. In fact, some parts of this chapter are written in first person. The point is to show how this object (chatrooms) comes to the researcher. In theoretical terms, it is to say how subject (a concept no longer used on this work) can represent itself with such a shifty object. The last extract on this chapter, Modus Operandi, is about the very methodological issue that guides this investigation. It is on the second chapter that subjectiveness comes to surface. It is an attempt to map these little spots in cyberculture we call bubble-characters and also to point out their very nomad technique of doing and undoing culture. War, Control and Terrorism: electronic communication presents a vast amount of phenomena not clearly referred previous to this networking era. That means power has also been shaped in fresh new ways. The last two excerpts of this chapter concerns this strange modality in spectral communication. It is about how these subjectivity machines work on contemporaneity. The third and last chapter is mostly about the writing style this medium brings on. Once again, the aim is to discuss how this intangible and networked text turns to be composed by small clusters called nicks. It is focused on language, imagination, and a seduction of the text which is an image itself. These are all questions theory of communication can no longer evade. However, it is not enough to just discuss how interactivity on Internet creates new subjectivity. It is also important to identify how these interactions create a new logic of communication conspicuously innovative. It is mandatory to identify how this feedback circuit works thus creating reality.

Who is welcome in the public swimming pool? What makes different spaces and rooms more comfortable and accessible than others? The empirical material of this study is built on four interviews with people who have a non-normative body. Their experiences and emotions concerning the public swimming pool are studied through an intersectional and phenomenological perspective. With these perspectives’ assumptions, emotions and approaches concerning swimming pools in relation to bodynormativity have become noticeable. Specific viewpoints have been centered on ableism, gender and body size. One observation has been made in a public swimming pool with the intention to raise awareness of my own body in the specific context. With that insight I can relate my observation to the statements that were reached through the interviews. Generally, bodynormativity is something that we are all aware of and likely adapted to. Dressing rooms and spaces where naked bodies meet are tending to bring awareness to your own body. The main conclusions of this study are that changing the design of dressing rooms and developing a private space to change and shower in will make the situation safer. Onward highlighting a public dialogue to question stigmas related to non-normative bodies will in the end benefit non-normative bodies to feel more welcome in places like public swimming pools.
