This chapter gives an overview of key actions by the activist group Gender Relations in New Music, which advocates for increased gender equality and intersectional diversification in contemporary classical music (CCM). The chapter describes this particular group’s activities, which have included creating statistics, organizing events, protesting actions, and connecting interested people in this st
To increase engagement with science and technology, young people around the world are encouraged to attend activities at science centers. But how effective are these activities? Since women have weaker ability beliefs and interest in technology than men, it is especially important to learn how science center visits affect them. In this study, we tested if programming exercises offered to middle sc
Ett bokkapitel om lagen om digitala marknader (Digital Markets Act, DMA) som belyser hur digitala plattformar skiljer sig från andra affärsmodeller samt hur lagen kan komma att påverka näringslivet som helhet.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with their 169 targets and 231 indicators epitomise the trend of global governance by numbers. This article suggests the notion of a global “indicator reporting trajectory” that is shaped by three main elements: the politics of indicators, a reporting infrastructure and indicator advocacy. I propose that indicator reporting trajectories may result either in
In 1524, Petrus Apianus published two closely related works—one the Latin Cosmographicus liber, aimed at an educated audience of international readers, and the other, Ein kunstlich Instrument, a shorter, more practical book for those who could read German but had no Latin. Both books nevertheless make use of most of the same instruments, including Apianus’ early volvelles. Most of these instrument
We prove the nonexistence of two-dimensional solitary gravity water waves with subcritical wave speeds and an arbitrary distribution of vorticity. This is a longstanding open problem, and even in the irrotational case there are only partial results relying on sign conditions or smallness assumptions. As a corollary, we obtain a relatively complete classification of solitary waves: they must be sup
I denne bog forsøger forfatteren at afmontere de benspænd (krokben), som den svensktalende typisk oplever i mødet med dansktalende. Det drejer sig først og fremmest om den største sten i sprogforståelsen, nemlig den danske udtale, og den lidt mindre sten, det lumske ordforråd. Mange ord deler vi allerede, men der er også ord og vendinger, der komplicerer kommunikationen danskere og svenskere imel
This work presents large-scale elasto-plastic topology optimization for design of structures with maximized energy absorption and tailored mechanical response. The implementation uses parallel computations to address multi million element three-dimensional problems. Design updates are generated using the gradient-based method of moving asymptotes and the material is modeled using small strain, non
This article’s aim is to investigate the creative use of parody and sense-/nonsense-making visible in the Swedish football scene by looking into football chants through the lens of parody. The three examples selected (a song, a chant, and a music video) give a glimpse of possible folkloristic investigations in that context, as possibilities to work on varied and extensive material are profound. Th
