This master thesis is about building an adaptive library based on a platform independent model, which represents a conceptual design realizing the functional requirements being independent of the technologies and software architectures changes. This adaptive library is a model, which has a higher level of abstraction than the code that we will generate afterwards, generalizes the solution of those problems that can be resolved using different implementations that uses different kinds of data structures. In addition the higher level of abstraction that this adaptive library is having will give a speed up in developing the application and higher quality solution because of the maintainability and reusability. This solution is going to have the propriety to be changed easily in order to solve different concrete problems.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the earliest active time period of the harbour of Västergarn on the island of Gotland. The exact time of the founding of Västergarn has been debated for almost a century. Extensive excavations were conducted between 2005 and 2013 by the University of Gotland which resulted in a large amount of pottery, of which the earliest type was the Baltic Sea ware. I aim to add to this discussion with a study of the morphology and chronology of the Baltic Sea ware found at the site. This type of pottery is an excellent archaeological source material for exploring the early history of Västergarn. Because the Baltic Sea ware is found all over the excavated area it provides evidence for the material needs of a growing urban population. As an everyday resource for the people of Västergarn it also indicates when the site was permanently settled.    The study of the morphology and the distribution pattern clearly shows that Västergarn was well populated already in the 12th century. Such an early date for occupation of the site has been questioned in earlier research. There is now archaeological evidence to argue that the settlement within the earthen rampart was probably founded in the second half of the 11th century. In the same time period Visby was established as an urban site. Furthermore, based on a topographical study comparing the presence of Baltic Sea ware in different trenches with the shore line I argue the rampart was constructed somewhere between circa 1000 and 1200 A.D. / Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka den tidigaste aktivitetsperioden i den gotländska hamnen Västergarn. Den exakta tiden för Västergarns grundande har debatterats i nästan ett århundrade. Extensiva utgrävningar genomförda av Högskolan på Gotland mellan 2005 och 2013 resulterade i en stor mängd keramik, varav östersjökeramiken är den äldsta. Jag ämnar utveckla denna diskussion med en studie av morfologin och kronologin av östersjökeramiken som finns på platsen. Denna godstyp är ett utmärkt arkeologiskt källmaterial i undersökningen av Västergarns tidiga historia. Då östersjökeramiken har hittats på nästan hela det utgrävda området bevisar det att en växande befolkning fanns på platsen. Som vardagsgods i Västergarn antyder keramiken också när platsen blev permanent befolkad.    Studien av östersjökeramikens morfologi och korologi visar också tydligt att Västergarn var välbefolkat redan under 1100-talet. En så tidig datering för platsens befolkning har länge varit ifrågasatt inom tidigare forskning. Nu finns det dock arkeologiskt bevis att platsen troligen blivit grundad under den andra halvan av 1000-talet. Staden Visby grundades under samma tidsperiod. Fortsättningsvis, med basis i en topografisk analys som jämför östersjökeramikens närvaro i vissa schakt med strandlinjen argumenterar jag för att Västergarnsvallen byggdes någon gång mellan cirka år 1000 och 1200.

Des analyses structurales et pétrophysiques ont été menées dans le Massif de Melechov afin d’étudier les structures contrôlant la porosité, la perméabilité et la conductivité thermique de la roche. La structure du massif a été déterminée sur la base d’un jeu étendu de données incluant des mesures d’ASM et des mesures de terrain des structures ductiles et cassantes. Le système de fractures du massif a été décrit par quatre ensembles de fractures. Les données pétrophysiques mesurées ont servi pour caractériser l’effet de la fracturation et de l’altération sur la géométrie de l’espace poreux et en conséquence sur la perméabilité, la conductivité thermique et les propriétés élastiques du granite. Des propriétés pétrophysiques distinctes ont été identifiées pour du granite intact, du granite sain fracturé ainsi que pour du granite fracturé et altéré contenant des oxydes de fer, de la chlorite et des minéraux argileux. Une étude microstructurale détaillée, combinée à des mesures multi-directionnelles de vitesse des ondes P (VP) à pressions de confinement croissantes a été menée sur un échantillon du granite Lipnice aux schlieren. Les résultats indiquent que l’anisotropie des VP à basses pressions de confinement est contrôlée par des fissures inter-granulaires reliant les clivages sous-parallèles aux schlieren des micas et des feldspaths ainsi que par des fissures intra- ou trans-granulaires dans du quartz sous-parallèles aux fractures d’exfoliation. Une importante fermeture de la porosité de fissures à partir d’une profondeur de 500 m a été interprétée en termes d’élasticité des fissures manifestée par une augmentation rapide des VP avec la pression de confinement croissante. / Structural and petrophysical analysis have been conducted within the Melechov massif with focus on structures controlling the porosity, permeability and thermal conductivity of the rock. The structure of the massif has been constrained based on extensive dataset including AMS and field structural measurements of ductile and brittle structures. The fracture system of the massif has been described by four sets of fractures. The measured petrophysical data have been used to characterize the effect of fracturing and alteration on pore space geometry and in turn on permeability, thermal conductivity and elastic properties of the studied granite. Distinct petrophysical properties have been identified for pristine granite, for fractured fresh granite as well as for fractured granite altered by Fe-oxide, chlorite and clay minerals. A detailed microstructural study combined with multidirectional P-wave velocity measurements at high confining pressure and with AMS analysis has been conducted on a schlieren bearing sample of Lipnice granite. The granite VP anisotropy at low confining pressure was controlled by intergranular cracks interconnecting schlieren-subparallel cleavage cracks in micas and feldspars and by exfoliation fracture-subparallel intra- or trans-granular cracks in cleavage-free quartz. Major closing of the crack porosity linked to the schlieren granite below depth of 500 m has been interpreted in terms of crack compliance reflected by rapid increase in VP with confining pressure.

This diploma thesis with the title Theme of growing up in modern comics aims to examine the modern comics with qualitative analysis and thus to deepen the insufficient academic coverage of the given topic. The analyzed pieces of work are Locas by Jaime Hernandez, Ghost World by Daniel Clowes, Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware, Oskar Ed: Můj největší sen by Branko Jelinek, Black Hole by Charles Burns, Epileptic by David B., Blankets by Craig Thompson and The Playboy by Chester Brown. The analysis itself is preceded by the part that deals with the wider context of growing up in the literature and cinematography. The chapters which deals with the specific pieces of work are divided thematically and they are always represented by the pair of authors: the theme of feminineness at Jaime Hernandez and Daniel Clowes, the dreamy landscapes and relationships with father at Chris Ware and Branko Jelinek and the sexuality and religion at Craig Thompson and Chester Brown. A chapter summarizing the response of media in the Czech background is also included. The principal aim of the thesis is to increase the coverage of theoretical material of the specific comic works and to put it into the wider artistic context.

Administration takes doctors 1 to 2 hours a day and the goal of our application is to save this time.

Analysen visar hur tre olika filmer representerar staden Tokyos stadsliv. Hur deras representation skiljer sig från varandra, och hur de är lika varandra. Två scener har valts ut från varje film. Fokus är att se vilken roll stadslivet spelar i filmerna men också för att analysera stadslivet. Bakgrundskaraktärerna har en central roll, hur de agerar och vilken mening de har i skildringen. Resultatet visar att bakgrundskaraktärerna är en väsentlig del av stadsbildningen, vilket i sin tur används som en spegling av huvudkaraktärernas känslor och mentala tillstånd.

This thesis deals with the implementation of luster and underglaze ceramic decorating techniques into the secondary ceramic curriculum. The formation and presentation of this unit is based upon historical and contemporary research of lusters and underglazes, as well as the author's own work with the materials. An instructional unit was designed to fulfill three primary objectives. First, to acquaint the student with the basic materials and techniques; second, to introduce the student to the conceptualization of successful imagery; third, to give the student ample opportunity to explore the uses and possibilities of the materials.

Den gropkeramiska kulturen är förknippad med kustlandskap och ett osteologiskt material bestående av fisk och säl, men kulturen fanns också vid inlandets insjöar där fisk och bävern istället är framträdande i det osteologiska materialet. Vindförbergs udde är en av flera gropkeramiska inlandslokaler belägen i Dalarna, det som utmärker Vindförberg från andra omkringliggande lokaler är lokalens höga och branta placering i landskapet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att tolka vad för slags lokal Vindförbergs udde varit, varför bävern är framträdande i gropkeramiska inlandslokaler, och hur inlandslokaler skiljer sig från eller liknar kustlokaler. För att svara på frågorna har en osteologisk analys av stenåldersmaterial från Vindförberg gjorts, och en komparativ metod har tillämpats där det osteologiska materialet jämförs med två kustlokaler i Hälsingland, Gästrikland och en inlandslokal i Dalarna. Diskussionen har fokuserat på Vindförberg som lokal och bävern som ett betydande djur, utifrån de frågeställningarna har likheter och skillnader mellan samtida inlands- och kustlokaler presenterats. Resultatet tyder på att Vindförbergs udde kan ha nyttjats året om, där både slakt, konsumtion och verktygstillverkning försiggått. Bävern är framträdande i materialet från Vindförberg och andra inlandslokaler, i samband med bäverns och sälens vattenlevande levnadssätt kan en tolkning av att bävern varit substitut för sälen göras. Likheter mellan gropkeramiska inlands- och kustlokaler kan ses i lokalernas placering i landskapet och kontakter med andra grupper. En tydlig skillnad är det osteologiska materialet där faunan skiljer sig åt. / The pitted ware culture is associated with coastal landscapes and an osteological material consisting of fish and seals. However, the culture also lived alongside inland lakes where fish and beavers were prominent instead. Vindförbergs beak (Vindförbergs udde) is one of several pitted ware culture sites in the inland located in Dalecarlia. What distinguishes Vindförberg from other surrounding premises is the beak’s high and steep location in the landscape. The purpose of this study is to interpret what kind of locale Vindförbergs beak was, why the beaver is prominent in inland pitted ware culture sites, and how inland sites differ from or resemble coastal sites. To answer these questions, an osteological analysis of stone age material from Vindförberg has been carried out, and a comparative method has been applied where the osteological material is compared with two coastal sites in Hälsingland, Gästrikland and one inland site in Dalecarlia. The discussion is focused on Vindförberg as a site and the beaver as a significant animal, and based on the paper’s research questions presents similarities and differences between inland and coastal sites. The results indicate that Vindförberg’s beak may have been used all year round, where both butchering and toolmaking were taking place. The beaver is prominent in the material from Vindförberg and other inland locations. Based on the aquatic lifestyle of the beaver and the seal, an interpretation can be made that the beaver was a substitute for the seal. Similarities between the inland pitted ware culture sites and the coastal sites can be seen in the location of the sites in the landscape and contacts with other groups. A clear difference is the osteological material where the fauna differs.

Examination concerning the possibility of finding prehistoric children as considerable actors through the medium of neolithic clay figurines which were discovered in the archaeological remains regarding a pitted-ware settlement excavated in Tråsättra, Stockholm parish in the year 2016. The main aim for this study is to pay attention to a group of individuals most often overlooked in archaeological research as a whole, by searching to find new angles of incidence in a material previously interpreted from a ritual perspective.
