Syftet med denna studie är att få mer kunskap om hur man kan använda kroppen i sångundervisning. Jag undersöker vad ett urval av sångpedagoger anser om förhållandet mellan röstorganet och resten av kroppen och hur de tillämpar det praktiskt i sin undervisning. Metoden jag använder mig av är en kvalitativ intervjuundersökning och resultatet visar bland annat att pedagogerna använder kroppen i sångu

This essay is a qualitative study concerned with questions about disability. I set out from a definition of disability which highlights non-disabled peoples´ participation in making a disabled person ?the Other?. My aim is to contribute to an understanding of the experiences of disabled people as well as problemize the way that normality and disability is socially constructed. The empirical materi

National identity, multiculturalism and invisible norms are three conceptions focused on in this essay. They are discussed and analysed with the purpose of deepening deepen the understanding of their meaning. Further on they become instruments in a study of the Liberal Party's proposal for new politics of integration. My ambition is to distinguish signs of a Swedish national identity in this p

The idea of empowering women as a strategy for poverty alleviation, has become increasingly popular with institutions, such as the UN and the World Bank, as well as with NGO:s. Today there is not one definition of what empowerment should mean and the concept is used in many different contexts and is the stated goal of various development strategies. Therefore it is interesting to take a closer

After the tsunami disaster in December 2004 many arguments were heared that one oft the major reasons behind the poor Swedish effort connected to the evacuation and health care of the Swedish citizens in Thailand right after the incident is the Swedish model with independent government authorities. By comparing the constitution, the political decision making tradition by the ministers and the hand

The official rhetoric of American Presidents is viewed by many non-Americans as somewhat ridiculous and unduly pompous and self-righteous. Vanessa Beasley, on the other hand, has argued that the constant references to the superiority of the American nation in the rhetoric of its presidents have been required in order to keep the extremely diversified nation together. Starting from a constructivi

Since the breakdown of the Soviet Union, more than fifteen revolutionary years have passed. Estonia and Latvia have undergone a change from communist states to members of the European Union. As in so many other post-communist states corruption has been a problem. However, Estonia has since the independence had a lower degree of corruption than the neighbour country Latvia. The main purpose of

I have chosen to compare and analyse anti-Semitism on two Islamist and two neo-Nazi websites. The websites belong to Radio Islam, The Muslim Brotherhood, The National Socialist Movement and The National Socialist Front. I have used the theories of William Brustein and Walter Laqueur, which claim that the perception of the Jew and Judaism has remained more or less the same for two thousands years.

This article discusses desirable political representation within the framework of representative democracy. In the desirable representation it is the responsibility of the politician to balance authoritative decision making with responsiveness towards the voters. The article intends to make visible the ethical complexity within representative democracy. Ethically the commission to represent is fur

Begreppet jihad har fått en stor uppmärksamhet in massmedia den senaste tiden. Det är ett mångdimensionellt, men också ett ofta missförstått, begrepp. Den här studien syftar till att belysa detta begrepp genom att jämföra det med den västerländska teorin om det rättfärdiga kriget, en teori som upplevt något av en renässans the senaste decennierna. Min hypotes är att det finns vissa grundlägga

Objective: Oligoclonal bands (OBs) in electrophoresis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are present in multiple sclerosis and here is investigated whether these also occur in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Material and methods: Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis was induced in 42 DA rats after immunization with rat spinal chord homogenate and the occurrence of OBs were detecte

Time-resolved absorption spectroscopy was used to study the femtosecond and picosecond time scale electron injection from the excited singlet and triplet states of Ru(dcbpY)(2)(NCS)(2) (RuN3) into titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanocrystalline particle film in acetonitrile. The fastest resolved time constant of similar to30 fs was shown to reflect a sum of two parallel ultrafast processes, nonergodic ele

Reactions of the triosmium cluster [HOs3(CO)(10)(eta(1):eta(1)-OC4H2CCH3)] with a series of aromatic aldehydes under mild conditions result in condensation of the ligand methyl group with the aldehyde C=O moiety to give typical aldol condensation products.

The diagnosis of acute, non-traumatic diseases of the lower respiratory tract requires exact knowledge of the specific anatomy, physiology and pathology of the pediatric chest. The absolutely and relatively smaller airways, as compared with those of adults, and the undeveloped collateral ventilation result in radiological appearances that are unique in children. Viral pneumonia is predominant only

Studies debates om Islam and Muslim immigrants among Swedish right-wing radicals: identitarians

This paper traces the intellectual effects of an encounter between Stig Kanger and Donald Davidson -two very different philosophers working in two seemingly unconnected areas. Their meeting in Oslo 1979 led the latter to improve his influential theory of radical interpretation and gave the former an inspiration for a rather striking paradox in preference logic. But, as we show, the paradox can be

Popular Abstract in Swedish Urinvägsinfektioner (UVI) är en av människans vanligaste bakteriella infektioner och drabbar både kvinnor och män. Kvinnor drabbas av UVI under hela sitt vuxna liv, medan UVI incidensen hos män ökar efter 40 – 50 års ålder pga. ökande problematik i urinvägarna med prostataförstoring, m.m. UVI orsakas av ett flertal olika bakteriearter, men tarmbakterien Escherichia coliUrinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common human infections, and febrile UTI with bacteremia the most severe form. The relation between bacteria and host decides disease severity. The dominating uropathogen is Escherichia coli (E. coli). P fimbriae are the virulence factor of E. coli most clearly associated to severe disease. P fimbriated E. coli predominated in bacteremic febrile UT
