    Author : Cynthia Kite; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Scandinavia; foreign policy; EC EU; domestic structure approach; issue area; policy process;

    Abstract : This study begins with the observation that three similar states - Denmark, Norway and Sweden - have had different EC/EU policies, and that one of the foreign policy literature's most interesting approaches, domestic structures analysis, does not shed light on this variation. The goal of the study is to develop an understanding of the different policies by analyzing the question of EC/EU membership using an approach in which issue area, defined in terms of both substance and impact, is linked to policy process and policy choice.

    Author : Gunilla Svanfeldt; Björn Granström; Francisco Lacerda; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Language technology; Språkteknologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis, different aspects concerning how to make synthetic talking faces more expressive have been studied.

The work of this thesis includes studies of these questions and also an experiment using a talking head as a complement to a targeted audio device, in order to increase the intelligibility of the speech.
