On May 18, 2018, a shooter entered Santa Fe High School, killing eight students and two teachers. Using ethnographic methods, this research examines the role of faith, rituals, language, and symbols in the trauma-affected community during the response, recovery, and resiliency efforts as perceived by the Santa Fe community and those impacted by the tragedy. Qualitative data collected from 100 individuals ages of 17-84 illustrated how historical trauma, community culture, and faith-based organizations impact community resiliency and how illusions of a homogenous view of the community left many feeling shocked, divided, forgotten or muted.

Stämningen en film förmedlar är en av de viktigaste aspekterna inom filmskapande och filmmediet. Det är denna stämning som har möjligheten att påverka åskådarens känslor både under filmens gång och efter att eftertexterna har rullat förbi. Detta kandidatarbete syftar till att påvisa stämningens betydelse inom filmmediet samt se hur filmskapare kan utföra filmproduktioner för att förstärka stämningen deras film förmedlar. För att uppnå detta utförde vi två filmproduktioner som resulterade i en kortfilm och en presentationsfilm. Båda produktionerna utfördes med deltagande filmskapande som sin grundpelare, som var med och påverkade alla val och beslut vi tog genom processerna. Deltagande filmskapande ledde oss även till att få fler och mer unika idéer in i våra projekt och filmer för att förstärka stämningarna som förmedlas av våra filmer. Vi valde att utgå från filmteorier angående en films tempo av Ross Hockrow och platsens betydelse av Mats Ödeen, för att sedan utföra filminspelningarna med hjälp av inspelningsmetoder som The Master Scene Method och The Split Sequence efter Blain Browns och Luis Fernando Morales Morantes beskrivningar. Vi höll till sist en förhandsvisning av våra filmer för att undersöka och sedan diskutera huruvida vi lyckats med att genom deltagande filmskapande, filmteorier och inspelningsmetoder förmedla stämningar med våra filmer. / The mood that a film conveys is one of the most important aspects in filmmaking and the film medium. It is this mood that has the opportunity to elicit emotions in the viewer, both during the movie but also after the credits has rolled. This Bachelor Thesis aim to show the importance of mood in the film medium as well as how a filmmaker can produce a film project in a way that amplifies the mood that the film conveys. To achieve this, we produced two film projects that resulted in one short movie and one infomercial. Both productions were produced with participatory filmmaking as a foundation, a method that influenced every choice and decision we made during the design process. Participatory filmmaking also led us to get several and more unique ideas for our projects and films in order to amplify the moods that our films conveys. We chose to proceed from film theories regarding the tempo of a film by Ross Hockrow and the importance of the location by Mats Ödeen, to then produce our film projects with shooting methods such as The Master Scene Sequence and The Split Sequence as described by Blain Brown and Luis Fernando Morales Morante. In the end of the design process we arranged a pre-screening of our films to check and discuss whether we succeeded to convey moods with our films with the help of participatory filmmaking, film theories and shooting methods.

En ökad exploatering och markanvändning har under det senaste århundradet kraftigt reducerat odlingslandskapets variationsrikedom och biodiversitet, vilket medfört drastiskt förändrade livsvillkor för många arter på jorden. Forskning visar att militära övnings- och skjutfält har kommit att bli en tillflyktsort för många hotade arter, dels  på grund av att de blivit förskonade från annan markexploatering och dels för att de militära störningarna visat sig gynna många arter.   Denna studie har som syfte  att utreda vilka störningsregimer som historiskt gynnat biodiversiteten på Torhamns övnings- och skjutfält  i sydöstra Blekinge. I denna undersökning analyseras biodiversitet på landskaps- och artnivå. Tidigare resultat från pollenanalyser ca en mil norr om undersökningsområdet visar att regionen har präglats av markanvändningsformerna bete och slåtter under flera tusen år och att den floristiska diversiteten varit hög sedan tidig järnålder. Den militära verksamhet som bedrivits på Torhamns udde under de senaste 100 åren har med stor sannolikhet bidragit till att bevara de unika naturvärden som finns där idag. En viktig slutsats som kunnat dras av denna studie är att biologisk mångfald förändras över tiden och att det finns en tydlig koppling till markanvändningsförändringar. Det är med kunskap om den historiska markanvändningen som det går att förklara varför flora och fauna ser ut som den gör idag och för att kunna främja biologisk mångfald på militära övnings- och skjutfält, är det därför av största vikt, att ha ett paleoekologiskt perspektiv vid upprättandet av bevarandemål och hållbara handlingsplaner. / The increasing exploitation of land and the changes in land use over the last few hundred years has led to a marked reduction in the biodiversity of the landscape. Species populations have diminished in number or even gone locally extinct due to habitat loss. Research has shown that military training areas have become a refuge for many endangered species, partly due to the fact that these areas have been spared from exploitation of the land and partly due to the fact that these species have thrived as a result of the disturbance of habitat caused by military activity.   This study aims to clarify which types of disturbance have had a positive effect on the biodiversity of Torhamns udde in South East Blekinge through history. In this investigation biodiversity is analyzed at the landscape and species levels. Earlier results from a pollen analysis north of the study area show that the region has been affected by land use over a period of several thousand years. The military activity that has taken place in the area over the last hundred years, has contributed to the preservation of the unique natural environment that exists there today. An important conclusion from this study is that changes in biodiversity are strongly connected with changes in land use. The present composition in the flora and fauna may thus largely be explained by the historical land use. In order to positively influence the biodiversity of a military training area, it is important to have a palaeoecological approach, when conservation and management plans are being set up.

The goal of this thesis is to investigate if it is possible to use measurements of physiological parameters to accelerate learning of target shooting for novice marksmen in Saab’s Ground combat indoor trainer (GC-IDT). This was done through a literature study that identified brain activity, eye movements, heart activity, muscle activity and breathing as related to shooting technique. The sensors types Electroencephalography (EEG), Electroocculography (EOG), Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electromyography (EMG) and impedance pneumography (IP) were found to be suitable for measuring the respective parameters in the GC-IDT. The literature study also showed that previous studies had found differences in the physiological parameters in the seconds leading up to the shot when comparing experts and novices. The studies further showed that it was possible to accelerate learning by giving feedback to the novices about their physiological parameters allowing them to mimic the behavior of the experts. An experiment was performed in the GC-IDT by measuring EOG, ECG, EMG and IP on expert and novice marksmen to investigate if similar results as seen in previous studies were to be found. The experiment showed correlation between eye movements and shooting score, which was in line with what previous studies had shown. The respiration measurement did not show any correlation to the shooting scores in this experiment, it was however possible to see a slight difference between expert and novices. The other measurements did not show any correlation to the shooting score in this experiment. In the future, further experiments needs to be made as not all parameters could be explored in depth in this experiment. Possible improvements to such experiments are i.e. increasing the number of participants and/or the number of shots as well as marking shots automatically in the data and increasing the time between shots.

The objectives of this thesis were to develop a machine learning tool-chain and to investigate the relationship between heart rate and trigger squeeze and shooting accuracy when firing a handgun in a simulated environment. There are several aspects that affects the accuracy of a shooter. To accelerate the learning process and to complement the instructors, different sensors can be used by the shooter. By extracting sensor data and presenting this to the shooter in real-time the rate of improvement can potentially be accelerated. An experiment which replicated precision shooting was conducted at SAAB AB using their GC-IDT simulator. 14 participants with experience ranging from zero to over 30 years participated. The participants were randomly divided into two groups where one group started the experiment with a heart rate of at least 150 beats per minute. The iTouchGlove2.3 was used to measure trigger squeeze and Polar H10 heart rate belt was used to measure heart rate. Random forest regression was then used to predict accuracy on the data collected from the experiment. A machine learning tool-chain was successfully developed to process raw sensor data which was then used by a random forest regression algorithm to form a prediction. This thesis provides insights and guidance for further experimental explorations of handgun exercises and shooting performance.
