Den här uppsatsen utgår från ekokritiken och new materialisms när den undersöker Birgitta Trotzigs novell/saga "På andra sidan havet".

Trotzig behandlar i novellen dikotomin som har uppstått mellan begreppen

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka möjligheterna att använda Augmented Reality i övervakningssystem. Arbetet kommer att utforska idéer anpassade för nätverkskameror men även andra anordningar såsom en head mounted display. Idag används AR huvudsakligen i smartphones som underhållning, vilket innebär att det här projektet kommer leda in AR till nya områden inom övervakning. Projektet är uThe aim with this thesis is to investigate the possibilities to use Augmented Reality (AR) in surveillance systems. The thesis will examine ideas suited for network based cameras but also other devices such as a head mounted display (HMD). AR today is mainly used in smartphones as entertainment and therefore the approach to use AR in surveillance systems will cover new areas. The project will be

Higher real wage growth can raise the incentive of firms to save labour,thereby increasing output per hour worked. Cointegration analysis of a panel of 19 manufacturing industries in the United States for the years 1919 - 1939 suggests strong linkage and bidirectional Granger causality between the two variabl
