Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka hur musiklärare arbetar med sångare i ensembleundervisning på estetiskt gymnasium. Tidigare forskning visar på tendenser till att sångare får mindre undervisningstid i det gemensamma ensemblerummet, där lärare separerar eleverna för att instudera eller repetera i ett närliggande rum under lektionstid, och prioriteras senare i instuderingsföljd än instrument

Since the 1950, Europe has been pursuing to mimic the innovative success of Silicon Valley through artificial innovative clusters or science parks. Today, science parks are abundant in Europe, yet research on their performance has mainly focused on their ability to produce successful new ventures. This thesis explores the role multinational enterprises (MNEs) have in the development of competences

The aim of this study was to examine how the employees at a needle and syringe exchange program understand motivation in their patients and how they work with them to motivate care, treatment and changed habits of addiction. Furthermore, the study is also exploring how the employees are working on establishing a relationship with patients and what role that relationship plays in the process of cha

Office space is a vital element of every organization. Additionally, there is an ongoing debate on how to utilize office space most effective to maximize occupancy while providing an efficient work environment for employees. Because office space is the daily work environment for many people, in which they spend a tremendous amount of their time, office space can exert a considerable impact on thei

This study investigates the link between growth or fixed mindset and maladaptive or adaptive coping strategies in students. It is hypothesized that an overall growth mindset leads to adaptive (healthy) coping mechanisms, whereas an overall fixed mindset fosters maladaptive (unhealthy) coping strategies. There is only one study by Doron, Stephan, Boiché & Scanff (2009) available that examines t

Mot ett säkrare slutförvar för framtida generationer En förutsättning för att det kommande slutförvaret för använt kärnbränsle ska fylla sin uppgift är att alla barriärer som ska förhindra att radioaktivitet läcker ut till omgivningen fungerar under mycket lång tid. En av de viktigaste barriärerna är bentonitleran som ska omge det inkapslade bränslet. Den viktigaste egenskapen hos leran är att denThis report describes a systematic review regarding validations of calculations by measurements of isotopic compositions, or decay heat, on spent nuclear fuel, SNF. 15 relevant or otherwise interesting studies, were found. Two reports were chosen among the found studies and analyzed. One of the studies described validations made with experimental data from measurements of isotopic compositions on

Det senaste decenniet tenderar antalet barn som har en oroande skolfrånvaro öka enligt flera Svenska organisationer och myndigheter och bland dessa barn finns en stor andel med NPF-problematik. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka konsekvenserna för föräldrar med barn som diagnostiserats med autismspektrumtillstånd (AST) som också har eller haft en problematisk skolfrånvaro under det senaste

In May of 2017, the city council of Malmö decided to establish a new contact center. This contact center replaced the original call center with the expectation to increase democracy, accessibility, and more efficient service. As a part of the transition, the previous telephonist workers were terminated and replaced by the new profession kommunvägledare. This study reaches from the feminist discuss

GEANT4 is a Monte Carlo code originally implemented for high-energy physics applications and is well known for particle transport at high energies. The capacity of GEANT4 to simulate neutron transport in the thermal energy region is not equally well known. The aim of this article is to compare MCNP, a code commonly used in low energy neutron transport calculations and GEANT4 with experimental resu

Genome-wide association studies have identified 32 loci influencing body mass index, but this measure does not distinguish lean from fat mass. To identify adiposity loci, we meta-analyzed associations between similar to 2.5 million SNPs and body fat percentage from 36,626 individuals and followed up the 14 most significant (P < 10(-6)) independent loci in 39,576 individuals. We confirmed a previou

Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) is the main protein of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and a principal mediator of the reverse cholesterol transfer pathway. Variants of apoA-I have been shown to be associated with hereditary amyloidosis. We previously characterized the G26R and L178H variants that both possess decreased stability and increased fibril formation propensity. Here we investigate the Milano

The aim of this study is to analyse the extent of which different types of research funding, gender and type of position have an effect on the size and density of research collaboration networks. The material consists of 3,306 documents by scientists doing cancer research at Lund University, indexed in the Web of Science databases. The author and address fields were analysed, by studying frequenci

Obesity is a complex disease with multiple well-defined risk factors. Nevertheless, susceptibility to obesity and its sequelae within obesogenic environments varies greatly from one person to the next, suggesting a role for gene x environment interactions in the etiology of the disorder. Epigenetic regulation of the human genome provides a putative mechanism by which specific environmental exposur

Capabilities-based planning and capability assessment are high on the agendas of several countries and organisations as part of their risk management and emergency preparedness. Despite this, few definitions of capability exist, and they are not easily related to concepts such as risk, vulnerability and resilience. The aim of the present study was thus to broaden the scientific basis of the risk f
