Under mina fem år av pedagogiska studier på Malmö Musikhögskola, och med ett stort egenintresse i ämnet har jag observerat en trend där mätbara värden alltmer eftersöks i skolans värld. I den trenden har jag sett en fara i att låta den enkelhet samt ensidighet som mätbara faktorer ofta genomsyras utav låta påverka musikundervisningen på gymnasiet i alltför stor utsträckning. Att försöka säkra kvalDuring my five years of educational studies at Malmö Academy of Music, and with a great personal interest in the subject, I have observed a trend where measureable factors are increasingly sought after within the educational school system. Within that trend I have noticed a risk in letting the simplicity and bias, that so often permeates measurable factors, influence musical education to a large e

En Dold Markovmodell (HMM) kan användas för modellera tidsserier på ett sätt som beskriver olika beteenden under olika perioder; till exempel kan den beskriva finansiella tidsseriers benägenhet att plötsligt ändra riktning då marknadssentimentet förändras, exempelvis på grund av en pandemi. Givet en tidsserie, tänker man sig att den antar olika tillstånd som ej går att observera men som reflekteraThe Hidden Markov model is applicable to a wide variety of fields. Applied to financial time series, its assumed underlying state sequence can reflect the time series' tendency to behave differently over different periods of time. In many situations, models could be improved by including exogenous data. However, that may in some cases be inappropriate in practice as the model could get too mat

Globally, the production and consumption of plastic has increased exponentially. As plastic items are produced using fossil fuels, the plastic industry is intrinsically tied to the petrochemical industry. One unique case of this dilemma lies in the petrochemical industry’s role in plastic production in Taiwan. Despite its reputation for recycling, Taiwan is satiated with ineffective sustainability

The topic of government and state officials leaving public service for the private sector has been a recurring talking point in the last decades with multiple countries in the OECD enacting different forms of regulation to contain potential conflicts of interest. In Sweden, legislation specifically regulating the phenomenon was not passed until 2018, when the Act Concerning Restrictions in the Eve

This study aims to deepen the understanding of how companies within environmentally harmful industries are able to construct sustainable brands by producing current sustainability discourses. This is done by using a critical discourse analysis and a multimodal critical discourse analysis on the “Fly Responsibly” campaign from 2019 by the airline company KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, which consist of a

In the early days of digitalisation of Swedish healthcare, eDoctors, such as Kry, operated in parallel with traditional primary care. With the rising popularity and benefits of digital services, traditional healthcare is looking into digitalisation options.

I denna studie undersöks bildningsprocesser och klimatologisk betydelse av hur av årsmoräner bildas vid Gornergletscher, en stor alpin dalglaciär i de södra schweiziska Alperna. Ett särskilt fokus ligger på moränryggar som har bildats mellan 2007 och 2019, en period då glaciären har retirerat snabbt och det har skett en tydlig förtunning av isfronten. Dessa moräner uppvisar olika geomorfologiska oThis study examines genetic processes and climatological significance of annual moraine formation in the foreland of Gornergletscher, a large alpine-valley glacier located in the southern Swiss Alps. A particular focus is set on moraine ridges that have been forming between 2007 and 2019, a period when the glacier has been subject to accelerated retreat and pronounced frontal thinning. These morai

Visste ni att världens jordar innehåller mer än dubbelt så mycket kol som atmosfären och mer än tre gånger så mycket som alla växter? Mikroorganismer i jorden, som bakterier och svampar, står för en betydande del av koldioxidflödet mellan jorden och atmosfären. Idag ser vi klimatförändringar som innebär längre perioder med torka och intensivare regn. Mikroorganismer i marken likt alla andra påveClimate change will result in altered precipitation cycles, which might reduce the soil carbon storage. Respiration and growth by soil microbes including fungi and bacteria, play an important role in regulating the terrestrial carbon cycle and thus have an impact on climate feedbacks. It has been shown that microbes can respond in two different patterns after drought followed by rewetting, either

E.ON har utkontrakterat en stor del av deras dagliga verksamhet till solcellsinstallatörer. Denna outsourcing-strategi har lett till brist på kunskap över hur hela solcellsinstallationen utförs och vad det finns för förbättringsområden i den. Detta examensarbete har kartlagt hela processen i detalj för att samla in kunskap och förståelse. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utveckla ett förslagProcess improvement work is commonly used in most businesses. Much of the current theory in process improvement work is based on the typical manufacturing processes where each and every second matters. What do you do if you don’t work at a manufacturing company or if you don’t have well measured processes? Turns out there’s still a lot that your company can start to improve.

The intertemporal relationship between economic growth and climate change represents a major challenge for the economies of today. The growth in production based on carbon intensive inputs has contributed to a continuous increase in greenhouse gas emissions since the Industrial Revolution. The aim of this essay is to analyse the relationship between climate change and economic growth within the Eu

Vår möjlighet och i förlängningen vårt behov av att vara ständigt stimulerade har ökat drastiskt under de senaste decennierna. Vi människor verkar ha svårt för att bara vara, och när vi befinner oss i dessa lägen tenderar vi att så fort som möjligt söka oss till stimuli, även negativa sådana. Syftet med den aktuella studien var att studera människors förhållande till att “göra ingenting” och om deOur ability, and in extension our need, to constantly be stimulated has increased dramatically in the recent decades. We humans seem to have a hard time just being, and when we find ourselves in these situations we tend to seek stimuli as quickly as possible, and to some extent even negative ones. The purpose of the current study was to examine people’s relationship to “doing nothing” and whether

Det finns idag en ökad förståelse för medarbetarnas kommunikativa roll i organisationer, vilket kan förstås genom begreppet ambassadörskap. Samtidigt som organisationen vill uppmuntra sina anställda att agera som ambassadörer på sociala medier, vill man också kontrollera medarbetarnas röst för att säkra ett enhetligt budskap. Detta utgör således en spänning mellan kontroll och frihet av medarbetarToday there is an increased understanding of employees' communicative role in organizations, which can be understood through the concept of ambassadorship. While organizations want to encourage employees to act as ambassadors on social media, they also want to control employee voice to secure a consistent message. Therefore, there is a tension between control and freedom of the employees'
