Inspirationen till att utforma ett eget material kommer från ett musikaliskt möte där vi tre författare uttryckte intresse för det linjära trumspelet. Ambitionen för själva skapandet grundades även i avsaknaden av ett material för trumslagare på en medelsvår nivå till mer avancerad nivå inom linjärt trumspel. Materialet innehåller ett tydligt syfte, konkreta övningar, tydlig progression och fokus The inspiration to design our own teaching material came from a musical meeting where we expressed an interest in linear drumming. The ambition for the actual creation was based on the lack of a material for drummers at an intermediate level to a more advanced level in linear drumming. The material contains a clear purpose, concrete exercises, clear progression and focus on motivation and creativi

From empirical material collected through semi-structured interviews, this master’s thesis is conducting a critical discourse analysis, investigating to what extent discoursive structures entails discriminatory treatments of academically skilled refugees in the integration process of entering the Danish and Swedish labor market. Academically skilled refugees and relevant caseworkers from both Denm

Author: Shadi Taha Title: Standardization between opportunity and challenge - A qualitative study about professionals' experiences of the Individual's needs in the center (IBIC). Supervisor: Staffan Blomberg Assessor: Torbjörn Hjort & Norma Montesino The aim of this study was to examine and analyze social workers' views and experiences on the working model (IBIC) and how they use t

En kvasi-experimentell studie med mixed design användes för att utforska effekten av en endags utbildningsintervention i Acceptance- and Commitment Therapy (ACT) för personal inom barnpsykiatrisk slutenvård. Variablerna som undersöktes var psykologisk flexibilitet, symtom på generell psykisk ohälsa, självmedkänsla och antal sjukdagar. Vidare undersökte studien hur effekten utvecklades över tid förA quasi-experimental study with mixed design was used to explore the effect of a one-day educational intervention in Acceptance- and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for personnel in psychiatric inpatient childcare. The measured variables were psychological flexibility, symptoms of general psychological distress, self-compassion and number of sick-leave days. Furthermore, the study explored how the possib

Araceae is one of the most abundant species families in South America with over 2200 species across the continent, yet it has not been given much attention in ecological investigations. I analysed the species diversity and abundance of araceans along an altitudinal transect between 400 and 2350 m altitude. The transect, made up of 7 different sites, was located in the Cloud forests of the Ecuadori

The impact of climate change is increasingly being investigated over elevational gradients as they provide natural laboratories to study how species of plants and animals respond to changes in temperature, precipitation and other factors. Ferns are especially sensitive to air humidity and temperature and can therefore serve as potentially useful bioindicators. To better understand how species comm

Förhindra antibiotikaresistens – börja övervaka den! För snart hundra år sedan upptäcktes penicillin – ett antibiotikum som sedan dess har räddat miljontals människor från bakterieinfektioner. Idag ser vi hur antibiotika blir helt verkningslösa då bakterierna i ökande takt utvecklar resistens mot dem. Inom en snar framtid kan vi befinna oss i en era där vi återigen dör av infektioner som tidigar

Due to their aberrant growth behavior, cancer cells maintain and depend on aerobic glycolysis even in the presence of physiological oxygen levels to provide building blocks for cell proliferation. This and other dependencies in the metabolism of cancer cells have emerged as promising targets for therapy development. However, metabolic interventions also target highly proliferating cells of the imm

Having access to dense reconstruction of ongoing building constructions provides insight into the building process and could serve as both a tool for error detection and documentation of the actual outcome. In this thesis, Spot, the quadruped robot designed by Boston Dynamics is evaluated as a platform for site inspection. The result of the thesis was a prototype system built on top of the ROS fra

The NEO model, developed by Lindström (2019) for paperboard, is a non-linear material model that utilizes empirically based constitutive relations with switches to mimic elastic-plastic responses. Due to the explicit definition of the constitutive relations, the NEO model does not require a constitutive equilibrium loop. This, in addition to modeling flexibility from the switches, poses the NEO mo

The circulating fluidised bed boiler (CFB) consists of developing the combustion of a mass of fuel, in this case biomass, within a bed of particles in suspension, which have been fluidised by an ascending air current. Combustion occurs in a controlled manner throughout the entire furnace at temperatures around 850 ºC, which is lower than in conventional boilers, reducing NOx emissions. However, NO

This thesis examines the challenges that women human rights defenders (WHRDs) in Bangladesh are experiencing in a period of shrinking civic space. It further focuses on how perceptions guide their chosen strategies. Applying political opportunity theory, drawing from social movements research, it explores the structural changes in the political system and how it impacts civil society action. Thus,

Hamilton tells the story of the life and career of Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant who came to America at a young age and grew up to be a founding father as well as the first Treasury Secretary of the United States of America and the face of the US ten-dollar bill. Since premiering in 2015, the hip-hop-musical grew into a popular culture phenomenon, resonating with people all over the world while

The combustion of lignite coal for energy production significantly contributes to Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions, leading climate justice activists to advocate for an immediate coal exit. Workers of the lignite industry strongly oppose this as they worry about the structural decline of mining regions and their financial security. The concept of Just Transition is increasingly employed to bridg

Gullvivor älskar motionsspåret i Skrylle, Skåne En av vårens första tecken är de växter vars blommor klär marken med vackra färger. En av dessa växter är gullviva (Primula veris) som känns igen genom sina starkt gula blommor och ljusgröna rosettblad. I Sverige är gullvivan en skyddad art och den lokala populationen har minskat under en lång tid. Förminskingenen beror antagligen på markförsurning,In 2000, a 5-kilometer-long exercise path called Elljusspåret was constructed in Skrylle, Sweden. Excavations of the soil on the right side of the path were made to install lampposts. A large number of Primula veris emerged from the excavated soil. This re-evaluation investigates if the P. veris population still favours the excavated side and if it could be due to change in the soil horizon chemis

The internet brings a multitude of opportunities for information access, communication, and mobilization. Many studies point to the democratizing effect of the internet in that it increases political participation among citizens. However, much of this evidence is produced on a Western context where the penetration of the internet is well-established. This thesis examines the effect of internet use

Small scale renewable energy systems (SSRES) serve as a potential solution to decrease energy poverty, increase water and food security, and a potential climate change adaptation (CCA) strategy. This thesis investigates the diffusion of such systems amongst indigenous Wayuu communities in La Guajira, Colombia, through Roger's Diffusion Theory. Subsequently, a Water-Energy-Food Security Nexus a

Since the 1980s, community seed banks (CSBs) have been established around the world to conserve and improve access to indigenous seed for smallholder communities and contribute to food and seed sovereignty. However, after the withdrawal of external support, these CSB initiatives often collapse. Using a qualitative, comparative case study design, this study provides an in-depth analysis of CSBs est

Can Crows and Ravens Tell Selfish and Generous Humans Apart? Imagine that you observe two people at the store reaching for the two last packages of their favourite cookies. The person that arrived last at the spot asks the first one for a package. In the first scenario, the human that arrived first acts generously and gives one package, while in the alternative scenario, the human acts selfishly
