Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur sångpedagoger praktiskt arbetar med interpretation, samt om det finns någon koppling mellan deras arbete med interpretation i förhållande till genrer. Det är en kvalitativ studie som är baserad på intervjuer med tre sångpedagoger samt observationer av deras respektive lektionsarbete. Resultatet visar att sångpedagogerna arbetar och ser på interpretationThe purpose of this study is to investigate how vocal teachers work with interpretation, and whether there is any connection between their work with interpretation in relation to genres. It is a qualitative study based on interviews with three vocal teachers as well as observations of their respective singing lessons. The result shows that the vocal teachers work with, and define interpretation in

This thesis is a critical discourse analysis of the development of job advertisements regarding gender coding. The time span is between 2007 and 2016/2017 and the material for the analysis is 40 advertisments towards medical secretaries and carpenters. This selection has been made because these professions are the percentage most female- and male-intesive occupations in Sweden. The study is based

Compassion fatigue kan drabba yrkesverksamma inom vårdgivande yrken som arbetar med traumapatienter. Symtomen på compassion fatigue är både fysiska, emotionella och arbetsrelaterade och innefattar bland annat empatisk utmattning och reducerad förmåga att bära patienters lidande. Dessa egenskaper påverkar psykologer inom vården. Psykologer är en yrkesgrupp vars sjukskrivningsstatistik har ökat undeCompassion fatigue can affect professionals in health care who work with trauma patients. The symptoms of compassion fatigue are physical, emotional and work- related and include, inter alia, empathic fatigue and reduced ability to carry the suffering of the patients. These qualities affect psychologists in health care. Psychologists are a professional group whose sick leave statistics has increas

Emulsion is a novel technique to deliver fats and fat soluble compounds in food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products. Different emulsifiers are often used to stabilize the emulsions. Chemically modified quinoa starch granule has taken research importance as an emulsifier in last decade. Chemically modified starch stabilized emulsions are now also been dehydrated to facilitate its use multidimens

In this paper, we develop a new but also under-researched measure for firms’ hedging practice: maturity. Comparison between the outputs of two sets of Tobit model using hedge ratio and maturity respectively shows that the costs of financial distress hypothesis and the financing costs hypothesis are partially supported by both hedge ratio and maturity. Besides, the economies of scale hypothesis rec

Reclaim the Streets is a study of exploitation and parametrically driven urban planning. The land I propose to be exploited are the buffer zones that since the 1950s started being reserved along major roads, and since mostly have been left untouched. The wide passages have created barriers in the city that affect pedestrians by increasing travel times and creating unsafe places. My intention is to

Background: while access to safe water in Uganda increased between the early 1990s and 2010, current studies are showing that many safe water sources are not being properly maintained and so end up being abandoned. Since the maintenance of safe water sources is under the jurisdiction of water user committees (WUCs), this study seeks to measure the ability of water user committees in mitigating a d

As part of the development of a process for production of a lignin-rich oil that can serve as a renewable feedstock to existing petroleum refineries, hydrogen assisted depolymerization of lignin in filtered black liquor has been investigated. This process offers the possibility to reduce fossil emissions from transportation by utilization of the largest renewable carbon resource in Sweden, namely

Luminiscensdatering är ett viktigt verktyg inom geologin för att tidsbestämma geologiska avsättningsprocesser i jordens historia. Grundförutsättningen för en korrekt datering är att luminiscenssignalen genererad från ett mineral nollställs vid kontakt med solljus. Vid insamling och preparering av provmaterial är det därför av yttersta vikt att ingen ljusexponering inträffar som eventuellt nollstälLuminescence dating provides an important tool in geology to reconstruct geological depositions events in the Earth’s past. The basic assumption for a reliable dating is that luminescence generated from minerals resets at the time when it was last exposed to sunlight. The accuracy and precision of luminescence dating is therefore strongly dependant on preparation of the sediment to be in dark cond

Agriculture is necessary for providing nutrition to a growing global population. However, many unsustainable agricultural practices contribute to climate change, cause local pollution and disrupt natural biological and nutrient cycles. Conservation agriculture (CA) is one of the many practices that have been proposed to meet the challenge of sustainable agricultural production. CA aims to restore

Our world is experiencing accelerated ecological destruction and social injustices on different scales and multiple levels. Unchecked economic growth has been criticised as causing this since the 1970s, but the dominant sustainable development paradigm has perpetuated the belief that economic growth and environmental protection can go hand-in-hand. In response degrowth has emerged in the last deca

The combination of a growing global population and a limiting amount of farmland creates a need for new innovative food products to achieve a global sustainable development and a healthy population. Rapeseed press cake is a low-cost by-product of rapeseed oil production and is very high in protein and fiber. The rapeseed protein contains high concentrations of S-amino acids as methionine and cyste

This thesis assesses the impact of innovation on employment, using a selection of International Patent Classifications (IPC) as proxies for technological development. It uses a 15-country, 8-sector and 15-year dynamic panel dataset, specifying a system Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) econometric model to test this relationship. It specifically evaluates whether advances in robotics – measured

Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the extant knowledge and further research regarding the effects of Big Data Analytics (BDA) and blockchain (BC) technology on the future of the audit profession and to provide a framework grounded in existing theoretical research which would explore ways in which BDA and BC technology could be integrated into the audit procedures of th

Organisationer behöver ofta genomgå förändringar för att överleva. Förändringar är dock ingen enkel historia. De kan ofta misslyckas, och ofta attribueras detta till motstånd mot organisatoriska förändringar. Då organisationer består av individer utgör dessa en nyckelfaktor. Deras attityder gentemot förändringarna är avgörande då de ska omsätta förändringarna i praktiken. Dessa attityder antogs haOrganizational change is a common occurrence and frequently viewed as a necessity to survive. Unfortunately, attempts to change may often end up in failure, something commonly attributed to resistance to organizational change, a key factor being the individuals that constitute the body of the organization. Since they are both agents and recipients of change, their attitudes toward the change could

Today it is an accepted truth that consultation and evaluation of weather models by meteorologists can help a ship navigate the sea efficiently, using the weather and sea currents in the ship's favor. However, there exists little to no studies to support such a claim. In this report, we will first validate a simulation model by statistical means. This simulation is then used on different route

Identifying and keeping track of different structural representations of functionally overlapping issues is important in order to keep a well maintained issue management corpus, establishing efficient and organized response ability to develop and code software patches repairing these issues and defects. This is normally achieved by manual, time-costly reviewing-processes by special teams put up to
