ABSTRAKT Syftet med den här studien var att utforma förslag till hur delar, broderiparterren och labyrinten, av Drottningholms slottspark skulle kunna återställas till ursprungsskicket med smärre förändringar med tanke på skötsel. Detta för att i sin tur skapa ett större historiskt värde i parken. Arbetet utgår ifrån ritningar och litteratur som skrivits om parken och parkens utseende samt litteratur som nämner de som ritat parkens olika delar. För att göra den här studien och skapa nya ritningar till Drottningholms slottsparks utvalda delar behövde jag först ta reda på hur de olika platserna sett ut genom tiderna och jämföra detta med hur de ser ut idag. Efter den här processen har fyra slutprodukter framställts, tre ritningar över broderiparterren och en över labyrinten. Dessa är förslag till mönster för de utvalda platserna samt växtförslag till dessa. Jag hoppas att mina idéritningar ska kunna vara till hjälp om dessa delar skulle återskapas på Drottningholmsslottspark.  Även om mina ritningar inte skulle användas om broderiparterren och labyrinten skulle återskapas så skulle det här arbetet kunna vara till hjälp genom information om vilka kartor som skulle vara lämpliga att använda sig av. Men jag hoppas att Drottningholmsslottsförvaltning kommer välja att anlägga broderimönstret och labyrinten i sinom tid, för jag tror att broderiparterrmönstret och labyrinten skulle tillföra mycket till parken om de återskapades.

This diploma thesis deals with the literary analysis of the theme of a labyrinth which appears in Anglo-American fantasy book series for young readers. The work is divided into two main parts. In the first, theoretical part, the author describes the main features of fantasy literature. The author also focuses on the assessment of the theme of a labyrinth in a wider literary-theoretical and historical context (mythology, Middle Ages literature, gothic novel, Romanticism, Modernism, Postmodernism). The second, practical part of the work, is represented by the author's literary analysis of the theme of a labyrinth appearing in these fantasy book series for young readers: Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Percy Jackson, A Series of Unfortunate Events and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. The analysis mainly concentrates on the motifs of the monster, the experience of getting lost, fight and hideout.

This thesis deals with the detection of magnetic field perception of cavefishes the Mexican tetra (Astyanax mexicanus). The experiments were carried out in a plus-shaped maze where the direction preference in the individual arms of this maze was studied both in the natural Earth´s magnetic field and in the modified one by using magnets and turning the north-south axis by 90°. The reactions of the specimen on placing a strong magnet close behind the end of the western and later also the eastern arm of the plus-shaped maze were also monitored. It was conclusively found that the Mexican tetra prefer north-south axis. However, after turning the magnetic field by 90° there was no preference of the specimen for the new north-south axis as we expected. Although some of the tests performed here show the perceptiveness of magnetic field of the Mexican tetra and their preference for the noth-south axis, other tests disprove the formulated hypothesis. That is why other new hypotheses about the perceptiveness of the magnetic field should be created so that they could not be disproved in either case. This thesis has served as a stepping stone for further research in the field of magnetoreception of cavefishes.

This master's thesis deal with design and creating of the instructions for industry bus AS-Interface. These instructions were implemented in the software ControlLogix5000 like add-on instructions. In the teoretical part there are presented the issues of industrial control, AS-Interface bus, add-on instruction and model of the labyrinth. The practical part of the master's thesis is focused to design of the add-on instruction and work with instruction and its characteristics followed by the description of the sample add-on instruction and the list of all implemented instructions. The final two chapters include visualization and laboratory exercise.

Konceptet för den nya förskolan i Solna utgår från Läroplanen i avsnittet som handlar om leken och hur viktig den är för barns utveckling och lärande. Byggnaden på 1-4 våningsplan utformas i olika kubvolymer som sticker ut på olika sätt för att samla in så mycket dagsljus som möjligt. På gården och takterrasserna ska samma koncept tydligt kännas igen genom kubformade lekställningar och pergolor. Lekfullhet präglar hela verksamheten där barnen är huvudpersonerna. / The concept for the new preschool in Solna is based on the ”Curriculum for preschool” and the importance of child’s play when it comes to development and learning. The building of 1-4 floors is designed in different cube-shaped volumes that stand out in different ways to bring in as much daylight as possible. In the courtyard and roof terraces the same concept is clearly recognized by the cube-shaped play equipment and pergolas. Playfulness characterizes the entire preschool where children are the main characters.

In the past, my work was focused on transferring the flat visual element into the space. I turn away from this concept, because as my Master's thesis I chose a Labyrinth. A labyrinth is not primary flat visual element. My final work is free artistic interpretation of this theme. My work based on classical craftsmanship techniques, which I am using in the new way in my work. I understood this theme labyrinth as an something very personal and individual. Because of this, I decide to create sculpture which will fit in to the gallery space and also the space of everyday life. My expression of the Labyrinth has cube shape. The entire sculpture is stitched inside, this stitch create the inside space. In one way this inner space is open and we are free to look inside, in the other hand center of the sculpture is hidden. I want to express a feeling of secrecy, and create tension between outside and inside space of the sculpture.

I fokus för denna studie står två svenska hiphopband – Labyrint och Kartellen, och hur de gestaltats i tio olika artiklar, i samband med avbokade konserter. Syftet med den här studien är att med hjälp av textanalys försöka förstå hur nyhetstidningars porträttering av musiker kan tolkas olika beroende på ordval och vem som får komma till tals. För att besvara syftet har vi utgått från två frågeställningar: Hur framställs grupperna genom det narrativa berättandet, och hur kan det narrativa berättandet tolkas? I vår tolkning har vi utgått från hermeneutiska och den postmodernistiska synen – att det finns mer än en sanning.För att lyfta analysen till en makronivå använder vi begreppen representation, moralpanik och makt. Detta för att förstå, förklara och bedöma materialet som framkommer i vår studie. I analysen framträder mönster i artiklarna om båda banden. I samtliga artiklar om både grupperna blir de omnämnda, men direktciteras enbart i strax under en tredjedel. Däremot direktciteras andra aktörer i varje artikel. Vi kan även se att skribenten lagt upp artiklarna likt ett drama, där nyhetsvärdet till stor del ligger i den maktkamp som utspelas mellan de olika aktörerna. Journalisten spelar en viktig del av denna maktkamp. Genom narrativet kan journalisten inte bara gynna eller missgynna aktörerna, utan även påverka läsaren i önskad riktning. / The focus of this essay is on two Swedish hiphop bands – Labyrint and Kartellen, and how they are represented in ten different articles in connection to cancelled concerts. The purpose of this study is to, by the use of text analysis; understand how newspapers’ portrayal of musicians can lead to different interpretations depending on the choice of words and who gets to be heard. We have used two main questions in order to find out the results of our study: How are the bands portrayed through the narrative storytelling? and how can the narrative storytelling be interpreted? We have used the hermeneutic paradigm and the postmodern perspective as a frame for our study – that there is more than one truth.We are using three different concepts to lift this analysis to a macro level; representation, moral panics and power. The reasons why we are using them, is to understand, explain and form an opinion of the material that emerges from our study. There are patterns shown in our analysis regarding the two bands. The bands are mentioned in all the articles, but they are only directly quoted in just under a third of the articles. Meanwhile, other participants get directly quoted in every article. We can even see that the writer has constructed the articles like a drama, where the news value in big part is being played between the different participants. The reporter plays a big part of this power struggle. Through the narrative the journalist do not only have the power to benefit or disfavour the participants, but also affect the reader by steering him or her in a wanted direction.

Walking in the house of Daedalus – An analysis of the katabasis motif in Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves   This study analyses the depiction of the labyrinth as a symbolic landscape in regard to both subject and form in the multi-layered novel House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. Using the mythological katabasis motif as a structural principle, this study discusses modern labyrinthine narratives wherein selfhood is constructed through an infernal journey between a descent and a return. This study analyses the novel with a thematic perspective from two points of view; how the labyrinth acts as central motif for the self in the novel and how the novel visually depicts the narrative through typographical choices throughout the text. The study’s main question is how the novel depicts the labyrinth in regard to its historical and cultural context and how it inscribes itself into a tradition of narratives that depicts the labyrinth as a metaphor for the mind and as a symbol for the exploration of the self.   The result shows that House of Leaves uses a complex cluster of narratives to tell a katabatic story, both through the narrative and the form. Through the symbolic landscape and through the use of a genre typical and uncanny horror story, House of Leaves tells a story about alienation, guilt and love where the characters psychological developments changes in regard to confrontations with the labyrinth and through the symbolical tests that exists throughout the katabatic journey. The characters ascends traumatized from the labyrinth, but are at the same time rewarded with personal insight
