In this essay I have studied the video game Mass Effect franchise as an intermedia and transmedia phenomena. For the analysis of the empirical material I have adopted media scholar Henry Jenkins’ concept of transmedia storytelling. The purpose of this paper is to show how transmedia storytelling can appear around the 2010th century. To do so I have mapped out the different Mass Effect products in

Agile software development promotes process adaptability throughout the life cycle of a project. A project is often broken down into smaller tasks and each task involves a cross-functional team working with all functions. There are many different agile methods, which focus on different aspects of the software development life cycle. Two of these agile methods are Kanban and Scrum, which focus on m

Att äta eller att inte äta? Vi människor utsätts varje dag för olika stressfaktorer. Det kan vara allt ifrån att skriva en skoluppsats till att inte veta vad man ska laga till middag. Överlag är det väldigt olika och väldigt individuellt vad som gör just dig stressad. Det beror helt på vilket liv du lever, vilka intressen du har och vad du prioriterar. Men i djurriket fungerar livet inte riktigt To find out what stresses the markhors, Capra falconeri, at Nordens Ark the herd of five female individuals have been observed during four hours per day for 10 days. In the wild these animals live at high altitudes of the Himalayan Mountains and are excellent climbers with impressive horns that can grow up to 160 cm. The aim was to find out if the zookeepers had a stressing impact on the herd, and

Ju varmare väder desto mer kläder - Hur man föder jordens befolkning Vår planet ökar stadigt i befolkning samtidigt som klimatet blir varmare och skördarna sämre. När de fattiga bönderna inte kan överleva på sina grödor flyr de in i överbefolkade städer utan möjlighet till nya jobb. Fattigdom och svält är ett av de största hotet mot mänskligheten. Terrorgrupper rekryterar framgångsrikt bland den The wax on the stem and leafs of the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) plant has a protective function and is produced by the cells on the plant's outer surfaces. There are several available barley mutants where the wax production has been stopped. Four mutants are the single-site mutants cer-c.36, cer-q.42, ceru. 21 and the deletion mutant cer-cqu.724. We phenotyped 636 barley plants and collected

This thesis examines three Thai NGO's in the form of homes for children built in the aftermath of the 2004 Tsunami disaster. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between, on one hand, strategies used by the homes in order to obtain resources required to further continue their operations, and on the other hand, the explicit objectives of the homes to care for and protect the

The Australian Bogong moths are thought to have the ability to sense the earth’s magnetic field. This ability has to be reflected in the animal’s neural architecture. Hence reconstruction of three brain neurons was carried out, though these respond to visual stimulation instead of magnetic. These reconstructions were compared to that of other known specie’s visual responsive neurons to provide a b

Wax production is essential for the survivability of Barley (Hordeum vulgare) plants. They use it to fend off bacteria, viruses and helps rinse the cuticular surface from dirt. Much research has been done regarding the genetic regulation and the cer-cqu genes are proven to account for the biosynthesis of wax. A point mutation has been induced within the cer-u region which gives rise to waxless pla

Every summer the Australian Bogong moth migrates from southern Queensland to the Australian Alps in southern New South Wales. Other migrants such as the monarch butterfly use a time-compensated sun compass. However, the Bogong is nocturnal and only has access to skylight cues such as the moon, polarized light or the Milky Way. Since these are considerably unreliable only being visible short period

This thesis introduces different issues regarding the impact of anthropogenic sound pollution on oceanic cetaceans (whales). It involves looking at the problems of anthropocentrism and the notion of Umwelt when trying to assess the well-being of a western culturally important species, and the relationship between that species and the industrialization of the ocean. The thesis is specifically focus

Since independence in 1957, Malaysia has transformed significantly from an economy based on primary commodities to one fuelled by manufacturing and services based on foreign investment.. Besides Malaysian economy has achieved steadily high growth for over five decades. However, after the Asian financial crisis of 1997, the growth of Malaysian economic slowed and the downturn remains until the 2008

After years of neglect, Lebanon is facing the consequences of a struggling water sector. Existing water networks are deficient; water supply continuity is low; most wastewater is discharged into rivers or the Mediterranean Sea without adequate treatment; and inter-agency coordination remains weak and fragmented. In 2000, the government together with international donor agencies initiated a reform

I takt med att jordbruket har intensifierats har arter anpassade till det gamla kulturlandskapet trängts undan, vilket hotar den biologiska mångfalden. Ledningsgator har på senare tid uppmärksammats för sitt värde som ett alternativt habitat för dessa arter och energibolaget Kraftringen vill arbeta för att främja mångfalden i sina ledningsgator. För att utreda vilken biologisk mångfald som finns i

Semi-natural pastures are one of the most species-rich habitats found in Sweden and many endangered species are connected to them. Strongly declining in area, semi-natural pastures in Sweden can be eligible for financial support within the EU agri-environmental scheme. The definition of pastures eligible for the scheme was changed in 2008, more specifically the amount of trees and bushes was restr

Det här kandidatarbetet gick ut på att syntetisera ett antal olika ämnen som i efterhand ska testas för att se om de kan användas i en malariamedicin. Arbetet fokuserade således på att beskriva sjukdomen malaria, olika ämnen som skulle kunna fungera som medicin och slutligen hur dessa ämnen kan tillverkas. Det innehåller dessutom beskrivningar av några tillvägagångssätt som inte fungerar vid tillvThis bachelor project was about investigating new synthetic routes for metal complexes that are potential anti-malarial agents. The testing for anti malarial activity is to be carried out after the end of this project. The focus will thus be on presenting the laboratory work that was achieved; some synthetic strategies that can be used and further developed and some that should be avoided when syn

Till sin hjälp ar svenska triagesjuksköterskor en triagemodell, RETTS. Syftet med studien är att beskriva triagesjuksköterskans upplevelse av betydelsen av klinisk blick, intuition, tyst kunskap och erfarenhetens inverkan på triagebeslutet. Ett fenomenologiskt angre

En konkurs kan frammana mindre lämpliga ageranden hos både borgenär och gäldenär. En gäldenär kan för egen, eller närståendes, vinning tänkas söka undandra tillgångar från bolaget innan dess konkurs. En borgenär å sin sida kan i oron för att lida stora förluster vidta betalningspåtryckningar mot gäldenären. Detta leder till att denne borgenär gynnas i förhållande till resterande borgenärer. Att moA bankruptcy may evoke less appropriate acts from both the debtor and the creditors. A debtor may try to favour himself, or a relative, by transferring assets out of the company before the company’s bankruptcy. A creditor on the other hand may, due to his concern to suffer great financial losses, put pressure on the debtor about payment of his debts, which puts the creditor in a better position th

Barn och unga som begår brott är ett av straffrättens mest svårlösta och omdiskuterade områden. De straffrättsliga reaktioner som aktualiseras i diskussionerna pendlar mellan att vara repressiva/straffande eller rehabiliterande/stödjande. Enligt barnkonventionen, som av regeringen föreslås bli svensk lag under 2016, ska unga lagöverträdare bemötas med rehabilitering och reparativa metoder för att Children and young people who commit crimes constitutes one of the most difficult and controversial issues in criminal law. The penal regulations arising in discussions vary from being repressive/punitive to being rehabilitative/supportive. As stated by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which the government has proposed as Swedish law in 2016, the juvenile offenders should be treated with
