Den här studien undersöker hur egenskrivna och/eller lånade idéer kan användas som metod för att utveckla improvisationsförmågan hos elever på estetiska programmet med trumset som huvudinstrument. Studiens deltagare har efter givna ramar fått i uppgift att planera och sedan framföra egna trumsolo-sekvenser, i syfte att fylla på den egna musikaliska verktygslådan med solistiska verktyg. Den här stuThis study examines how original and/or borrowed ideas can be used as a method for high school students with drum profile to develop and improve their ability to improvise. The students of this study have been instructed to prepare and to play drum solo sequences based on certain limitations, in order to fill their musical toolbox with new solistic tools. This study is based on qualitative intervi

The terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum is an important research area allowing insights into fundamental science such as inter-molecular interactions, and with applications in the environmental, medical and security field. Using femtosecond lasers, it is possible to design compact and efficient terahertz generation schemes, resulting in few-cycle broadband pulses. This master thesis i

Den 1 juli 2010 genomfördes en reform som syftade till att höja straffnivån för allvarliga våldsbrott. Genom reformen infördes bland annat en ny mening i 29 kap. 1 § 2 st. BrB som anger att det vid bedömningen av det konkreta straffvärdet särskilt ska beaktas om gärningen inneburit ett allvarligt angrepp på någons liv eller hälsa eller trygghet till person. I motiven till meningen angav regeringenA reform, aiming to increase the level of penalty for severe crimes of violence, was implemented July the 1st 2010 in the Swedish Penal code. Among other changes, a new sentence was imposed in 29:1 1st paragraph BrB. This sentence states that the court, when determining the concrete penal value, in particular should take into account if the criminal act was a serious assault on a person’s life or

Motivated by the need for transformative change and more holistic conceptions of wellbeing, this thesis aims to explore the transformative potential of the Buen Vivir. As a synthesis of indigenous and modern principles, it was integrated in the Ecuadorian constitution. In order to evaluate the socio-political project of the Buen Vivir in the realm of a Real Utopia, I will investigate the transform

Born into the context of tense geopolitical competition, the Global Gateway Initiative has shown the motivation of the European Union to take on a more ambitious role as a global actor. A trend in the academic literature hints at a shift towards a more pragmatic and geopolitically oriented paradigm in the EU´s foreign policy. In order to investigate how the EU envisions its own role, this pap

Att Spåra Gammastrålar med en Gammakamera Gammastrålar produceras av både radioaktiva material och kosmiska objekt, så som supernovor och neutronstjärnor. Gammastrålar består av fotoner, precis som synligt ljus, men har mycket högre energi. Att kunna spåra gammastrålar är användbart inom allt från medicinteknik, till samhällsskydd, och även inom många olika forskningsområden. Fotoner kan interag

I en värld där samhället ställer höga krav på produkter, både sett till design och funktionalitet är behovet av vidareutveckling av befintliga produkter högt efterfrågat. Vissa produkter har dock halkat efter i denna utveckling och en av dessa som har identifierats är picknick-korgen som under de senaste åren inte har utvecklats till mer än vad den alltid varit, nämligen en väska med kylfunktion fIn a world where society places high demand on products, both in design and functionality, further development of existing products is important. However, some products have lagged behind in this development, and one of those identified has been the picnic-basket. In this degree project, conducted at Lund University in collaboration with the Design Sciences institution, both the market situation a

The prospect of Turkish accession to the EU has sparked controversy in many of the member countries. It has highlighted the different ways in which European as well as Turkish identity is being defined in the debate, with some politicians seemingly trying to draw on old prejudices in order to make the case against membership. By utilising discourse analysis as advocated by Thomas Diez, this thesis

The study evolves around the emergence of a gender awareness in the Kenyan political consciousness, as a consequence of the adoption of the alternative development discourse, promoting values like equal participation and empowerment. My task has been to determine the outcome of local development initiatives in terms of women's empowerment and then relate the findings to theories on discursive

The ongoing Europeanisation is readily identifiable in our day-to-day life. Particularly in the field of law, the elaboration of a uniform and harmonised European private law is promoted and a truly European legal science is forced. Yet, comparative law and unification of law have concentrated on certain areas, which include mainly commercial law and related areas of civil law. The main issue of t

How do countries become democratic? By employing process tracing this comparative case study strives to test the sufficiency of Jean Grugel’s alternative theoretical framework for explaining democratic transition and consolidation. The framework explains democratization as the result of interacting mechanisms within three different dimensions of society; the state, the civil society and the global

This master thesis is about the mathematical modeling of an inventory control system. The system is a single-echelon two-location system with one type of item. The locations replenish from a supplier that is assumed to have an ample stock. The demand is modeled as customers arriving according to a Poisson process with a known intensity and each customer only demands one item. In addition to replen

Abstract Title: Public-Private Partnership in Sustainable City Development Authors: Malin Olofsson, Maryna Pouzhyk, Vera Koreneva, and Quinn Ertel Tutor: Stein Kleppestø – Associate Professor, Department of Business Administration, Lund University Background: E.ON and Malmö have formed a Public-Private Partnership to lead the sustainable city development initiative in Hyllie. The green field de

Denna undersökning är en fallstudie av hur nio elever i årskurs nio och deras lärare har arbetat med musikskapande. Momentet musikskapande förekommer ytterst sparsamt i musikundervisningen i svenska grundskolor, trots att det enligt kursplanen ska bedömas. Denna undersökning genomfördes på en skola där musikskapande utförs i stor omfattning, alltså en skola som sticker ut. Syftet var att undersökaThis is a case study of how nine ninth grade students and their music teacher have been working with composition. The element of composition is very uncommon in Swedish elementary schools, in spite of the fact that it should be a part of the assessment. This study is conducted in a school where they work extensivley with composition. The aim was to study the students and the teachers’ view on the

The problem of approximate joint eigen-decomposition of a collection of matrices arises in a number of diverse engineering and signal processing problems. This problem is usually cast as an optimization problem, and it is the main goal of this publication to provide a theoretical study of the corresponding objective-functional. As our main result, we prove that this functional tends to infinity in

This article analyses the role of material culture in the enforcing of a colonial order in early modern Sápmi (Land of the Sámi, the indigenous people in northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula in Russia). In addition, the article focuses on the unequal power relations created through the collecting and cultural appropriation of Sámi objects. The 17th century saw a rapid growth of

Laser spectroscopy of free atoms has been pursued for 25 years starting in the visible region and with a constant thrust towards shorter wavelengths. A review of generation schemes and atomic-physics experiments in the short-wavelength region is given. Processes in ions and inner shells occur on a very fast timescale setting special demands on the sources. Using picosecond laser technology efficie
