ABSTRACT This paper will detail the process of creating and making the film Everything that Shines is not Gold. This paper divides into four parts: writing process, pre-production, production, and postproduction. The first part will touch on how the story came about and the writing process. The second part will cover the pre-production aspects and how I dealt with a strict deadline. Next, I will talk about directing. In the fourth part, I will discuss the long and tiring postproduction workflow. Last, I will reflect on making and what I learned.

White collar crime is pervasive with a larger financial impact to society than violent or street crime, yet it has been understudied. Violent and street offender research has moved beyond the examination of motive and opportunity to study personality, demographics, sociological influences, and psychological influences on development and criminal behavior; however, the bulk of white collar offender research has focused on greed as a motivator and organizational opportunity. Legislative efforts have attempted to curtail white collar crime, but incidents of crime continue to rise, resulting in a continued need to understand white collar offenders and the influences on offender behavior. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the multivariate difference between white collar offenders (n = 62) and business professionals (n = 121). Theoretically guided by the biopsychosocial model and prior empirical findings, 36 variables were univariately tested for group differences; 10 were significant and used in discriminant function analysis. White collar offenders tended to be female, have high neuroticism and alcohol abuse scores, and have low scores on narcissism and attribution. Drug use was positively correlated with the white collar offender profile, while income, openness, hostility, and anger were inversely related. The profile and correlates provide a deeper understanding of those who choose to cross legal and ethical lines. Positive social change could be realized through targeted collegiate business training programs to address risk characteristics and promote protective factors of ethics, integrity, and leadership.

Den gröna omställningen har lett till stora investeringar i norra Sveriges industrier. Dessa investeringar har skapat fler jobb och därav behov av fler individer. På grund av norra Sveriges låga befolkningstäthet i kombination med ökad efterfrågan har företag problem att attrahera och rekrytera personal till sin verksamhet. Denna studie undersökte och identifierade faktorer som är viktiga för att en stor industri i norra Sverige ska anses attraktiv ifrån ett medarbetarperspektiv. De faktorer som identifierades var genomgående viktigt för att underlätta framtida marknadsföring samt bibehålla nuvarande kompetens. Detta undersöktes genom en kvalitativ studie som grundade sig i employer branding och Herzbergs tvåfaktorteori. Totalt intervjuades åtta respondenter, varav tre var tjänstemän och fem kollektivanställda genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. För att säkerställa intervjuguiden var relevant för studiens syfte baserades frågorna på Herzbergs motivation- och hygienfaktorer. Bearbetning av datamaterialet utfördes genom tematisk analys. Resultatet visade att kollektivanställda värderade relationer till medarbetare och möjlighet till utveckling högst, medan tjänstemän värderade intressanta arbetsuppgifter och flexibilitet högst. Viktiga faktorer för båda grupper var företagskulturen och jobbsäkerhet. Unika egenskaper för en stor industri var större jobbtrygghet, utvecklingsmöjligheter och variation.

Yes / Scouring around the bridge pier is a natural and complex phenomenon that results in bridge failure. Failure of bridges have potential devastation and public safety and economic loss, which lead to political consequences and environmental impacts. Therefore, it is essential to countermeasure the scour around the bridge pier. This paper studies the effects of four different airfoil-shaped collars (i.e., bc1 = 1.5b, bc2 = 2.0b, bc3 = 2.5b and bc4 = 3.0b, where bc and b are the diameter of the airfoil-shaped collar and pier, respectively) as a scour countermeasure. All the experiments are conducted under clear water conditions with uniform sediment and a constant water depth (y) of 10 cm. Airfoil-shaped collar is placed at four elevations, i.e., bed level, y/4, y/2 and 3y/4 above the sediment bed level. It is observed that the maximum percentages of scour reduction of 86, 100 and 100% occurred due to protection provided by the collar bc2, bc3 and bc4, respectively, at sediment bed level. So, collars bc2, bc3 and bc4 are efficient at the sediment bed level. The profiles of scour hole show that the length of the transverse scour hole is greater than that of the longitudinal one. Numerical investigation of the morphological changes in sediment bed and scour depth contours is developed using the FLOW-3D for the pier with and without the airfoil-shaped collar.
