Denna uppsats beskriver både en subjektiv och en objektiv bild av sångarens bukstöd. Målet med studien var att kombinera min övningsdagbok som koloratursopran, med kunskap om andnings-/röst-fysiologi och skapa en bättre instrumentförståelse. Frågeställningen var: hur använder sångaren bukstöd för att fonera och hur kan det beskrivas utifrån ett funktionellt anatomiskt perspektiv, likväl från ett sThis paper describes the breath support of a singer, both subjectively and objectively. The aim of this study was to combine my practice journal, as a coloratura soprano, with knowledge of breath-/voice- physiology to create a better understanding of my instrument. The research question was: how does the singer use breath support to phonate and how can it be described from a functional anatomy per

India's open prisons offer an innovative method of confinement by giving some prisoners more freedom and chances for rehabilitation. However, little is known about how individuals who are directly involved, such as detainees, their families, and prison staff, see these jails. This thesis aims to investigate their viewpoints and experiences, with a particular emphasis on stigma, incarceration,

Sedan 70-talet har tre olika läroplaner använts för att styra den svenska gymnasieskolan. Olika politiska styrningar och läroplansteoretiska influenser har gjort att dessa sett väldigt olika ut. I vårt arbete har vi jämfört kursplanerna för matematikämnet utifrån ett teoretiskt ramverk baserat på Basil Bernsteins begrepp om klassifikation och inramning. Förutom att jämföra gymnasiets kursplaner i Since the seventies, three different curriculums have been used to regulate the Swedish upper secondary school. Different political interests and influences from curriculum theory have made these look very different. In our study we have compared the different curricula used in mathematics using a theoretical framework based on Basil Bernstein's concepts classification and framing. In addition

Swedish students obtaining student financial aid from Centrala Studiestödsnämnden (CSN) face an income ceiling of how much they can earn per half a calendar year before their aid is lowered according to a matrix. The thesis investigates how CSN’s income ceiling impacts students. It is important to examine it as it is a hot topic both in the public debate and among politicians. The analysis of the

Sustainability Reporting (SR) has hitherto been discretionary in most Asian countries; however, a new paradigm – mandatory SR – is emerging in South Korea, provoked by the EU’s SR regulation, Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The Korean government plans to enforce SR legislation in 2025, targeting large firms. However, little is known

De globala hållbarhetsmålens koppling till klimatanpassning i svenska kommuner Denna studie visar på att klimatanpassningsåtgärder i svenska kommuner bidrar till nyttoaspekter som kan kopplas till Förenta nationernas globala hållbarhetsmål. Dessa mål kan även vara ett bra verktyg för kommuner att använda sig av för att uppnå olika sociala, miljömässiga och ekonomiska värden vid framtida klimatanpaThis study shows that several beneficial aspects of climate adaptation in Swedish municipalities can be linked to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals. In doing so, the study also exhibits that the sustainable development goals could serve as a good tool to aid in maximizing social, environmental and economic benefits when planning and executing climate adaptation measures. A claim th

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsarbetet är att belysa eventuell variation i Norden i val av och hänsyn till teori utifrån erfarenhet av att arbeta med barn med språkstörning (DLD). Metod: Materialet utgörs av enkätsvaren från nordiska deltagare i COST Action IS1406 (2019), ett projekt som syftade till att undersöka hur logopeder och andra professioner i Europa arbetar med intervention för barn med DLD. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to highlight possible variation in the Nordic countries in the choice of and regard for theory, based on experience of working with children with developmental language disorder (DLD). Method: The material consists of the survey responses from Nordic participants in COST Action IS1406 (2019), a project that aimed to investigate how professionals in Europe wo

Den gröna omställningen och elektrifieringen av samhället kan endast ske om det finns ett driftsäkert elnät. Det svenska elnätet behöver både förnyas och byggas ut. Detta behöver ske med hänsyn till två stora samhällsutmaningar, klimatförändring och hotad biologisk mångfald. I hopp om att bidra till kraftledningar med en lägre miljöpåverkan är syftet med examensarbetet att undersöka kraftledningarThe sustainable transition and electrification of society can only take place with a reliable electricity grid. The Swedish electricity grid both needs to expand and to be renewed. This must be done with two major societal issues in mind, climate change and threatened biodiversity. In hope of contributing to power lines with a lower environmental impact, the aim of this thesis is to investigate th

Local acceptance is key when implementing climate technologies. One necessary technology to mitigate climate change is land-based Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). In Denmark, earlier experience with the technology ended in shutdown due to local resistance. But now CCS plays a significant role in the Danish climate reduction goals; without CCS the goal won't be met. The academic field is very

The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and battery production necessitates efficient logistics for battery recycling. However, the industry currently lacks widely adopted packaging and logistics standards, resulting in efficiency losses. Existing solutions are often expensive and overly safe for most recycled batteries. Additionally, limited research on large-scale EV battery recycling has been pu

At the Children’s Heart Center of Skåne University Hospital (BUS) there is an ongoing project with live recordings of open heart surgeries. These recordings will be used for educational purposes, for planning of future surgeries, as well as for evaluating the surgical procedures. Currently, the recordings are made using two cameras that are positioned above the operating table on a temporary mount

Bhutan is the world’s most mountainous country which comes with some logistical difficulties. Due to slow transportation times and lackluster food preservation are the post-harvest losses high which especially affects the rural parts of Bhutan negatively. Solar Food: Reducing post-harvest losses through improved solar drying, is a project set out to design a low-cost solar powered food dryer to im

The understanding of development is changing over time. It came a long way from a simple vision of economic progress to the contemporary human-centred perspective. However, the majority of research on institutional impacts continues to focus exclusively on the economic sphere. Thus, I decided to adopt this theoretical concept in a modern, human-oriented framework and analyse how government quality

Parian ware figurines – use, function, meanings This essay examines the parian ware figurines produced in Sweden between 1861 and 1900. Its primary concern is the use and function of the figurines, and the meanings attached to them by societal ideals and ideas. This has not been priorly investigated. Parian ware is a white unglazed porcelain, resembling white marble. Parian ware figurines were p

Denna uppsats handlar om konsumtionskultur och digital (o)jämlikhet. Konsumtionskultur syftar till hur konsumtion i det moderna samhället blir till en bisyssla för individen och ett sätt för individen att utmärka sig och erhålla en viss status, eller distinktion, från sin omgivning. Digital (o)jämlikhet syftar till hur individers olika internetfamiljaritet påverkar dess förutsättningar att uttryck

Since the last half of the twentieth century, population ageing has increasingly become a problem for countries all over the world. The literature on population ageing is very well- established, however, it is lacking in one significant respect. That is, hardly any research has been done on how population ageing may affect international trade. Therefore, this thesis seeks to establish this effect.
