Och vinnaren är... : En studie av Guldbaggevinnare för bästa dokumentärfilm 2000-2014 / And the Winner is... : A Study of The Guldbagge Awards for Best Documentary Film 2000-2014

Utterström, Ingela January 2015 (has links)
I uppsatsen studeras de femton filmer som som vunnit en Guldbagge för bästa dokumentärfilm 2000-2014. Filmernas uttrycksform har analyserats med stöd av Bill Nichols teoretiska modell om olika modus inom dokumentärfilmen. En jämförande studie av trender inom den internationella dokumentärfilmen visar hur de svenska filmerna förhåller sig till dokumentärfilm i omvärlden och till det senaste decenniets nya uttrycksformer, som olika former av interaktiva dokumentärfilmer. Då filmerna är utvalda som bästa dokumentärfilm under respektive år bör en analys av filmerna ge en bild av vilka kvaliteter som premierats av nomineringsgruppen och juryn för Guldbaggen under 2000-talet. Uppsatsens resultat är att filmskaparnas val av uttrycksform varierar under tidsperioden, men att ett modus dominerar, samt att det utifrån de uttrycksmedel som filmskaparna använder går att se ett genomgående mönster i de filmer som belönats med en Guldbagge.

Literature of Conscience: The Novels of John Nichols

Ward, Dorothy Patricia 05 1900 (has links)
This dissertation presents a thematic study of the novels of John Nichols. Intended as an introduction to his major works of fiction, this study discusses the central themes and prominent characteristics of his seven novels and considers the impact of the Southwest on his work. Chapter One presents biographical information about Nichols, focusing on his political awakening and subsequent move to Taos, New Mexico. A visit to Guatemala, after the publication of The Sterile Cuckoo. his first novel, brought Nichols to a realization that America was not a benevolent world power. He began to consider capitalism a voracious, destructive economic system, a view which informed the subjects and themes of his five novels written after The Wizard of Loneliness. In 1969, Nichols left New York City, moving to Taos, New Mexico, an area with a history of physical and economic aggression against its predominantly Native American and Hispanic population. The five polemical novels, all set in northern New Mexico, were written after this move. Chapters Two through Four discuss Nichols's seven novels, analyzing theme and reviewing critical response. /V Chapter Two discusses The Sterile Cuckoo (1965) and The Wizard of Loneliness (1966), novels written prior to Nichols's political awakening. Both of these books are rite-of-passage novels which focus on relationships. Chapter Three analyzes The New Mexico Trilogy: The Milagro Beanfield War (1974), The Magic Journey (1978), and The Nirvana Blues (1981). These three novels depict the exploitation of people, the displacement of cultures, and the despoliation of land in the name of progress. Chapter Four considers A Ghost in the Music (1979) and American Blood (1987). Although these two books differ greatly in tone and subject, they are similar in the general theme of waste--waste of human potential and human life. Chapter Five identifies the prominent characteristics and reviews the major themes of Nichols's novels. It concludes with a discussion of the impact of the Southwest on Nichols and his literature.

From a Record of Death to a Memory of Life: The Rise of the Biographical Obituary in The Gentleman's Magazine

Norman, Nathaniel Don 20 May 2008 (has links)
The need for an examination of the rise of various journalistic and print forms in The Gentleman's Magazine is evident from the absence of scholarship in this area. One of the most important forms born in The Gentleman's Magazine is the obituary. Beginning as a sparse list of deaths appended to the back of each issue of the magazine, it came to occupy a larger role in the publication within a hundred years of its inception. My study proposes to examine the reasons for this shift, focusing on the rise of the biographical form as it is treated in the works of Samuel Johnson, a prominent contributor to The Gentleman's Magazine, and practiced at the hands of John Nichols, one of the magazine's most prominent editors. My study also seeks to characterize the content of the obituaries by historicizing them in the context of the period and within the confines of the editorial policies of the magazine itself. The magazine's editorial persona, Sylvanus Urbanus, provides general terms whereby the dead may be characterized. Ultimately, my study is interested in examining the representations of the deceased in the obituary form as social markers, that are necessary for understanding how groups and individuals represented society. / Master of Arts

Heuristic control of a small line-following robot : A comparison of different methods / Heuristisk reglering av en liten linjeföljande robot : En jämförelse av olika metoder

Gumbel, Neo, Khirzia, Omed January 2022 (has links)
A line-follower is a robot that follows a line. Line-followers can be used in industry, mostly for material transportation, but are also raced against each other in competitions. While line-followers used in industry prioritize smooth motion and accuracy, competition-style line-followers prioritize speed around the track. In order for a line-follower to perform well, it needs a robust control-algorithm. Usually, competition-style line-followers use a manually tuned PID-algorithm for control. Tuning a PID-controller can be difficult, and is dependent on the skill of the tuner. There are, however, multiple so called ”heuristic” tuning methods that can give more consistent results, quickly. In this work, some popular heuristic tuning methods have been investigated for control of a competition-style line-follower. The methods have been compared in terms of step-responses and cumulative deviation of the robot from a track. The results indicate that the purely proportional variant of the Ziegler-Nichols method gives the best performance for competition-style line-followers. The ”some overshoot” variant of the modified Ziegler-Nichols method gave the most consistent and accurate results, and could be appropriate for use in an industrial-scale line-follower. Surprisingly the newest method tested, the Tyreus-Luyben technique, had a very unstable behaviour, and have thus been excluded from multiple tests. / En av de enklaste typer av själkörande fordon är en linjeföljande robot. Dessa kan användas i industrin, som materialtransportörer, men också i tävlingar där den snabbaste vinner. För att en linjeföljare ska prestera väl så krävs en robust kontrollalgoritm. De flesta tävlingsinriktade linjeföljare använder sig av en manuellt inställd PID-algoritm. Att manuellt ställa in en kontroller kan dock vara svårt, och kan ge inkonsekventa resultat. För att snabbt ställa in en kontrollalgoritm, med goda och konsekventa resultat, finns det ett flertal så kallade ”heuristiska” metoder. I det här arbetet har några heuristiska metoder använts för att kontrollera en liten linjeföljare. Metoderna har sedan utvärderats utifrån stegsvar och den totala avvikelsen från en bana under en körning. För en liten linjeföljare så gav den rent proportionella varianten av Ziegler-Nichols-metoden bäst prestanda. ”Som eovershoot” varianten av den modifierade Ziegler-Nichols metoden hade dock det jämnaste och mest konsekventa resultatet, och lämpar sig antagligen bäst för en industriell linjeföljare. Förvånande nog så gav den nyaste metoden, Tyreus-Luyben, absolut sämst resultat, och kunde i många fall inte ens testas utan att roboten spårade ur.
