The purpose with my essay is to investigate Church of Sweden’s prayer web page during September 2011 and September 2014. The purpose is to find out if there are any differences or similarities during the year 2011 and the year 2014, in the month of September, by examining literature and prayer that people have sent to prayer site. The Church of Sweden belongs to Lutheran belief.2 On the church of Sweden prayer site there is a digital web page where visitors can send a prayer or light a candle. It is possible to do it individually or in a group. At the prayer site you can read people`s prayers. The Essay investigates what people pray for and what types of prayers that are published on the digital prayer site. My hypothesis is that there should be small differences between year 2011 and year 2014 since there are only three years between 2011 and 2014. My questions are: When comparing September 2011 and September 2014, are there any differences concerning the way the web page visitors choose to address God? Are there any changes concerning the content of the prayers when comparing September 2011 and September 2014? The conclusion is that the difference between year 2011 and year 2014 is that year 2014 was more politically oriented than the year 2011 because in the year 2014 there was a general election. Some prayers wished for a good government. Year 2011 there were more prayers submitted than the year 2014. In the church of Sweden digital prayer site you can find the differences which occur and also which the similarities are. The method which is used is quantitative method since the essay method contains statistics. I also apply comparative method because I am going to compare the year 2011 with the year 2014. When I was preparing for the essay I used qualitative method as preparation. No other person has specifically written an essay about the prayers on the Church of Sweden’s prayer site in September year 2011 and 2014.

Project file archives are becoming increasingly large. The number of files, information and data that need to be created, accessed and modified throughout a project can be overwhelming. It is critical for project participants or contributors to find relevant information in project archives quickly. In this thesis, I present VisArchive, an interactive visualization tool that provides users with better awareness of search results within project archives. VisArchive visualizes the relevance-ranked search results with a color-coded stacked bar chart and interactive timelines and provides supporting visual cues to help differentiate search results based on searched keywords. It aims to allow users to interactively search, browse, and explore information in project archives, including access history, effectively and efficiently. I will present two case studies to illustrate how VisArchive can be used to support searching, browsing, and exploring information in building construction and open source software projects. In addition, I discuss how VisArchive can be improved to address information retrieval problems and work across different domains. VisArchive demonstrates the combination and application of several visualization techniques to the problem of searching and navigating project archives. / Graduate / 0984

A research in how sound-delay needs to be compensated as an orchestral percussionist. Sound delay occurs when sound needs to travel from one location to another. The ionger the distance, the longer it takes for sound to arrive. Sound delay can occur when percussionists play from their position on a concert stage. Their position is usually furthest back on the stage, the backrow of the orchestra ensemble. This means that percussionists usually has the largest distance from the audience, in most settings. Observing and recording my own performance practises, reading existing written works and interviewing experienced percussionists has been the foundation for this research. By playing on multiple stations consisting of different percussion instruments in varying distances from a fellow musician in a performance practice, I could systematically observe how bodily movement changed between the varying distances in order to be on time with the colleague. The results of this research shows the complexity of sound delay compensation, and has shown that the topic includes more factors than expected. The sounding nature of the percussion instruments has, in this research, been observed to play a big part in the compensation of sound delay. / <p>Program:</p><p>"Prim" - Áskell Másson </p><p>"Shin-Kansen" - Bruno Hartl</p><p>"She who sleeps with a small blanket" - Kevin Volans</p><p>"Meditations a deux" - Ida Fahl</p><p>"Mistral" - Daniel Berg</p><p>"Cruisin`through fire" - Jackson Riffle</p><p></p><p>Colleagues:</p><p>Johannes Carlsson, percussion</p><p>Alexandru Munteanu, percussion</p><p>Tiago Rocha, percussion</p><p></p><p>Text-file no. 1: Thesis</p><p>Audio-file no. 1: Interview with Joakim Anterot</p><p>Audio-file no. 2: Interview with Mikael Nilsson</p><p>Audio-file no. 3: Interview with Roger Carlsson</p><p>Audio-file no. 4: Even Hembre`s Master-exam concert at KMH, 28th of May 2024</p><p>Video-file no. 1: Part 1 of Arne Björk`s "Symfonisk Duett" first performance</p><p>Video-file no. 2: Part 2 of Arne Björk`s "Symfonisk Duett first performance</p><p>Video-file no. 3: Part 3 of Arne Björk`s "Symfonisk Duett" first performance</p><p></p>

This dissertation entailed a qualitative case study on the confluence of technology and social studies in fostering a constructivist education. Through the examination of pre-service social studies teachers’ understanding of the online primary source resources (OPSR), three themes emerged. The first exposed the fragmented understanding of important pedagogical theories of constructivism and historical thinking among participants; the second suggested that OPSR was mostly valued by pre-service teachers for its provision of primary sources; and the third related to how pre-service teachers viewed the current state of technology and context as problematic for technology integration. Accordingly, four findings were revealed. First, the pre-service teachers in the study demonstrated a limited understanding of the application of foundational theories central to their field of study; second, there were instances of deeper appreciation of the potential of OPSR, indicating that pre-service teachers’ theoretical understanding is ix nascent and may deepen overtime; third, the full potential of technologies such as OPSR was not recognized; and fourth, the pre-service teachers’ perceptions of school and educational system conditions tended to negatively influence their views toward the integration of technology into their teaching practices. Implications indicate that first, foundational pedagogical theories are critical with regard to technology integration in education and as such teacher preparation programs must not assume what is taught is what is learned; second, instances of deeper understanding among pre-service teachers only appeared during the application of their theoretical understandings; third, context is critical in how OPSR would be used in classrooms and such contextual issues must not be ignored by teacher preparation programs; and fourth, teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge (PCK/TPCK) is critical in the integration of technology in education. / text

Le peuplement ancien des régions allant de l’Iran à l’Inde en passant par l’Afghanistan et le Turkménistan est connu majoritairement par des échanges transrégionaux existant probablement dès le Néolithique. Du point de vue funéraire, les éléments accompagnant le défunt sont parmi les plus étudiés. En revanche, il est bien souvent peu fait état de leur contexte, à savoir la tombe et le défunt auquel ce mobilier était dédié. C’est en partant de ces constats qu’il est apparu intéressant d’enquêter sur ces peuplements anciens. À partir d’une étude approfondie des sépultures, cette étude se propose de reconstruire les programmes funéraires qui ont encadré les différentes pratiques mortuaires. Dans un second temps, nous avons cherché à souligner les traits funéraires communs de ces populations ainsi que les divergences. Sur l’ensemble du Balochistan pakistanais, seuls quatre sites ont livré des sépultures attribuables à la période Chalcolithique. Les sites de Miri Qalat et Shahi‐Tump ont livré plus de 200 individus répartis sur deux périodes pour le IVe millénaire. Sur le site de Sohr Damb, à Nal, un total d’une centaine d’individus sont dénombrés pour deux périodes situées au IVe et tout début du IIIe millénaire. Ces trois sites aux données inédites sont le cœur de cette étude. Nous avons rapproché nos conclusions des publications effectuées pour le site de Mehrgarh, où deux ensembles funéraires ont été étudiés, ainsi que des données publiées pour les pays limitrophes. / The old settlements of the areas extending from Iran to India including Afghanistan and Turkmenistanare mainly known through transregional exchanges existing probably as early as Neolithic. From the funerarypoint of view, grave goods are among the most studied items. On the other hand, there is often little mentionof their context, namely the tomb and the deceased to whom those grave goods were dedicated. It was fromthese observations that it became interesting to work on these ancient stands. Based on an in‐depth study ofburials, this work proposes to reconstruct the funeral programs that have framed the various mortuarypractices. In a second step, we sought to highlight the common funeral traits of these populations as well asthe differences. On the whole of the Pakistani Balochistan, only four sites yielded tombs related to theChalcolithic period. The sites of Miri Qalat and Shahi‐Tump, have delivered over 200 individuals spread overtwo periods for the fourth millennium. At the Sohr Damb site, in Nal, about 100 individuals are counted for twoperiods in the fourth and early third millennium. These three sites with unpublished data are the heart of thisstudy. We have compared our findings with publications for the Mehrgarh site, where two cemeteries werestudied, as well as published data for neighboring areas.

Complex software systems are difficult to understand and very hard to debug. Programmers trying to understand or debug these systems must read through source code which may span over thousands of files. Software Visualization tries to ease this burden by using graphics and animation to convey important information about the program to the user, which may be used either for understanding the behavior of the program or for detecting any defects within the code. SoftViz is one such software visualization system, developed by Ben Kurtz under the guidance of Prof. George T. Heineman at WPI. We carry forward the work initiated with SoftViz. Our preliminary study showed various avenues for making the system more effective and user-friendly. Specifically I completed the unfinished work, made optimizations, implemented new functionality and added new visualization plug-ins, all aimed at making the system a more versatile and user-friendly debugging framework. We built a solid core functionality that would be able to support various functionalities and created new plug-ins that would make understanding and bug-detection easier. Further we integrated SoftViz with the Eclipse development environment, making the system easily accessible and potentially widely used. We created an error classification framework relating the common error classes and the visualizations that could be used to detect them. We believe this will be helpful in both selecting the right visualization options as well as constructing new plug-ins.

Devido às mudanças e custos necessários para a implantação da nova tecnologia, as emissoras acabam por não explorar plenamente as possibilidades de interatividade. Assim, para que o usuário tenha acesso a uma experiência avançada e agradável, é necessário otimizar a produção de conteúdo interativo e diminuir seus custos. Para isto, novas soluções capazes de prover uma maior automação na produção de conteúdo interativo devem ser investigadas. Neste contexto, este trabalho propõe um sistema para detecção de objetos durante a produção de cenas de vídeo, capaz de capturar objetos e associar a captura a metadados relacionados durante filmagens, em estúdio de gravação ou mesmo em eventos ao vivo. A informação capturada é entregue de forma estruturada, na chamada linha do tempo de objetos, a qual pode ser manipulada durante todos os estágios de edição do vídeo, bem como na criação de conteúdo interativo. / Recently, TV Broadcasters have been concerned on how to adapt their workflow in order to produce and deliver high quality interactive content in the Digital TV environment. Due to the changes and costs needed for the deployment of this new technology, broadcasters do not fully explore the possibilities of interactivity. Therefore, in order to provide users an enhanced and pleasing user experience, they are required to optimize the production of interactive content and lower its costs. For this reason, new solutions able to provide a higher level of automation for interactive content production must be investigated. In this context, this work proposes an object detection method able to capture objects and related metadata during video shooting in a recording studio or even on a live event. Captured information is delivered in a structured manner, the so-called object timeline, which may be handled throughout the stages of video editing as well as during the creation of interactive content.
