Syftet med denna uppsats är att i en underutforskad grupp - män på höga hierarkiska positioner - studera samvariation mellan emotionsreglering, de självmedvetna emotionerna skam och stolthet samt personlighetsdrag för att nå hög social status.

Object tracking algorithms and motion triggered alarms are often dis- turbed by shadows. It is challenging to separate between moving objects and shadows since they have similar movement patterns and image prop- erties.
