During the second half of the 20th century, more possibilities of singing Psalms in the common Sunday service arose in Church of Sweden. The aim of this study is to see in what different ways the Psalms are usually sung and where they appear in the different worship books. I am interested in how this has changed over time, from the 1940s until today. A special focus is also on church musicians and
The age of COVID-19 calls for a different approach toward global well-being and flourishing through the transcendence suffering as advocated by existential positive psychology. In the present study, we primarily explained what self-transcendence is and why it represents the most promising path for human beings to flourish through the transformation of suffering in a difficult and uncertain world.
The Hipparcos mission (1989-1993) resulted in the first space-based stellar catalogue including measurements of positions, parallaxes and annual proper motions accurate to about one milli-arcsecond. More space astrometry missions will follow in the near future. The ultra-small Japanese mission Nano-JASMINE (launch in late 2013) will determine positions and annual proper motions with some milli-arc
In the last decades a large amount of evidence linked rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to atherosclerosis. In fact, RA patients have an increased risk of cardiovascular events that is not fully explained by other classic cardiovascular risk factors. RA and atherosclerosis may share several common pathomechanisms and inflammation undoubtedly plays a primary role. The proinflammatory cytokines such as tumo
The basis of this thesis is the exit problem in close corporations and the protections available to the minority. The phase one of the problem is when oppression takes place, which includes actions when dividends are withheld and excessive bonuses are paid to the majority, leading to the unfair treatment of the minority. Phase two of the problem is the exit problem itself, the minority owner's
Platsvarumärken blir allt mer vanliga i såväl Sverige som resten av världen, men frågan är om det är en effektiv strategi eller främst följer den strävan efter utveckling som genomsyrar dagens samhälle? I den här studien har vi försökt att lyfta fram näringslivsaktörers uppfattningar om sin regions varumärke, Familjen Helsingborg. Vi har i studien dock inte ämnat ta reda på huruvida regionsvarumärPlace branding is becoming more common in Sweden and in the rest of the world, however, is it an effective strategy or mainly a part of the quest for development that impregnates the modern society? In this study we have aimed to emphasize the opinions which business actors have about their regional brand, Familjen Helsingborg. We have neither intended to find out if regional branding is the best
Exhaust emissions from lean burn natural gas engines may not always be as low as the potential permits, especially engines with open-loop lambda control. These engines can produce much higher emissions than a comparable diesel engine without exhaust gas aftertreatment. Even if the engine has closed-loop lambda control, emissions are often unacceptably high for future emission regulations. A three-
Substantial genetic variation is hypothesised to be necessary for the long-term survival of species. Therefore, a major aim in conservation is to maintain and restore variation in small and endangered populations. However, in most populations the amount of genetic variation and, thus, the potential threats posed by limited variation are unknown. In the present study, we assess genetic variation, b
Den här masteruppsatsen är utförd i samarbete med Axis Communications AB och utforskar hur pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) kameror kan vibrationsdämpas och vilka nya miljöer PTZ-kameror skulle kunna användas i om vibrationerna dämpades. För att upptäcka nya potentiella användningsmiljöer, intervjuades personer inom Axis organisation med insikt i vibration, produktledning och försäljning. Användningsmiljöer sThis master’s thesis is performed in collaboration with Axis Communications AB. It explores how pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras can be vibration proofed and which new environments PTZ cameras could be used in if vibration proofed. Members of Axis’ organization with insight in vibration, product management, and sales were interviewed to identify possible new areas of use. Environments deemed relevant
Sammanfattning Titel: Snögubben vaknar till liv Arbetet problematiserar och belyser mitt arbetssätt inför min gestaltning som ”Snögubben” (Snowman) i Rusty Magees musikalopera ”Vinteryra” (Flurry tale). Arbetet problematiserar framför allt den klassiska sångarens utmaning i att gestalta roller inom andra genrers än opera. Med hjälp av källor i form av egna intervjuer och inspelade historiska Title: The snowman comes to life This lecture recital problematizes and explores my approach in Rusty Magees musical opera “Flurry tale”. The lecture recital primarily problematizes challenges for the classically trained singers performing roles outside of the opera genre. By the help of sources such as conducted interviews and historical recordings I present vocal approaches to performing in
Med anledning av offentlig upphandling kan det emellanåt förekomma att leverantören på olika sätt vilseleder myndigheten för att på oriktig grund antingen teckna ramavtal med myndigheten eller av myndigheten erhålla ett upphandlingskontrakt. Problematiken med olika former av vilseledande får antas vara större vid offentlig upphandling än vid vanliga B2B-relationer på grund av det strikta regelverkOccasionally when a contracting authority is about to award a public contract or conclude a framework agreement with a supplier, the supplier somehow misleads the contracting authority in order to receive the public contract or the framework agreement. Due to the rigorous regulatory system that distinguish public procurement one can expect the misleading to be a problem of greater importance than
Denna masteruppsats studerar den nuvarande upphovsrätten inom EU och fastställer om det för närvarande finns skydd för AI-producerade verk. Det finns möjlighet att skydda verk som har blivit skapade av AI-system om det finns en länk mellan den mänskliga upphovsmannen och det slutliga verket. I detta fall betraktas AI-systemet som ett redskap för att skapa ett specifikt alster. Om länken mellan denThis master thesis discusses current copyright rules and if there is presently a copyright protection for these types of works. There is a possibility to protect works that have been generated by AI’s. However, this is only possible if a human is using the AI as a ”tool”, in order to reach a certain end-goal. There has to be a clear link between the human author and the machine, otherwise neither
Background: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), which has been reported to be present in 10-30% of patients with cirrhotic ascites, may easily be overlooked. An important aim of our study was to determine whether there are any clinical signs which, in clinical practice, may predict or exclude SBP. Methods: We studied 133 patients with cirrhotic ascites from medical units at nine Swedish unive

Board evaluations can contribute to effective boards and improved corporate financial performance. The increasing interest in the practice of board evaluations, however, calls for a more systematic and careful approach than has been employed in the past. While most attention has primarily been focused on the content of board evaluations, this article outlines the features of various possible board
Rational, autonomous agents that are able to achieve their goals in dynamic, partially observable environments are the ultimate dream of Artificial Intelligence research since its beginning. The goal of this PhD thesis is to propose, develop and evaluate a framework well suited for creating intelligent agents that would be able to learn from experience, thus becoming more efficient at solving thei
We discuss four interconnected issues that we believe have hindered investigations into how language may affect thinking. These have had a tendency to reappear in the debate concerning linguistic relativity over the past decades, despite numerous empirical findings. The first is the claim that it is impossible to disentangle language from thought, making the question concerning "influence" pointle
