Frågor kring hur begrepp och förklaringsmodeller används inom sångundervisning har varit ständigt närvarande under vår utbildning till sångpedagoger och var därmed ett givet val för oss att vilja undersöka vidare. Syftet med studien är att undersöka sångpedagogers yrkesspråk utifrån begrepp och förklaringsmodeller genom att ta del av deras erfarenheter och kunskaper. I vår undersökning har vi genoQuestions surrounding the use of terms and explanatory models in vocal training has been a constant presence throughout our education as vocal coaches and was therefore a natural choice for us to further investigate. The aim of this study is to explore vocal coaches' professional language based on terms and explanatory models by examining their experiences and expertise. In our study, we condu

This paper analyses deuteron evaporation in comparison to the evaporation of a proton-neutron pair for different compound nuclei. The main reaction is the fusion-evaporation reaction of 40Ca on 24Mg target leading to the formation of the 64Ge∗ compound nucleus, along with other contamination reactions. The experimental dataset is obtained from Argonne National Laboratory. Projections on γ-γ matric

A scattering process is the event where particles collide with each other and then move away from each other, in any direction. This is the foundation of any reaction between nuclei and is a central part of nuclear physics. In modelling these reactions, it is central to determine an effective potential, representing the reaction, to use in analysis. This potential is a complex potential referred

Frågan om företags ansvarsskyldighet för mänskliga rättigheter har fått stort pådrag under de senaste åren med anledning av ökande globalisering, komplexa företagsstrukturer och allmänhetens växande medvetenhet om de skadliga effekterna affärsverksamhet. Parallellt med att frågan om mänskliga rättigheter har fått en allt större plats på den internationella agendan har även frågan om företags miljöThe issue of corporate accountability for human rights has gained significant attention in recent years, driven by increasing globalisation, complex corporate structures, and the public’s growing awareness of the harmful effects of business activities. Alongside the rising prominence of human rights on the international agenda, the issue of environmental impacts of corporations has also become mor

Much work has established M&A capabilities and its impact on M&A performance, likewise, a great deal of research has investigated internationalization. However, little theoretical attention has been brought to the implications of M&A capabilities on firms formulating internationalization strategies. This study examines how M&A capabilities impact decision-making processes in strate

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of the Swedish central bank's monetary policy on regional house prices. This study aims to capture variations between how different regions are affected, and capture monetary policy effects over time. The method used in this thesis to estimate the effect is modeled in two steps. Step one consists of estimating monetary policy shocks from poli

Att använda ljus som medium för bildteknik ter sig nog intuitivt för de flesta, eftersom det är ljus som låter våra ögon se bilder av omgivningen. Tack vare ljus är världen omkring oss synlig i en mångfald av färgnyanser, som ger oss information som hade gått förlorad i svartvitt. En blick av de rödsprakande löven utanför fönstret påminner oss snabbt om tiden på året, och färgen av ett äpple kan aUltrasound optical tomography is a medical imaging modality that combines ultrasound and light to improve the low resolution of optical imaging caused by scattering in tissue. Photons passing through an ultrasound pulse have a probability of being frequency shifted. By filtering out these photons and analysing them, images with optical contrast and ultrasound resolution can be obtained. In this t

Problematic school absenteeism and homebound students have over the years become a great problem in society. Research indicates that both causes for absenteeism and the path back to school are complex. Early detection is crucial to enable students to return to school. What do homebound students say about their situation? In this study, we aimed to explore the perspective of homebound students and

This thesis examines the relationship between Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) factors and investment strategies. Specifically, it focuses on how ESG scores can influence investment decisions within companies listed on the DAX Index, the benchmark German stock market index. Using Granger causality on individual companies from the DAX and on portfolios built on the ESG score of companies w

Minnesintergration är en minnesfunktion som bidrar till kunskapsinlärning genom att kombinera information från överlappande event. Denna studie undersöker påverkan av olika källor, ingrupp och utgrupp, på minnesintegration. Deltagarna (N = 61) valde medlemmar till sitt eget lag, ingruppen, och motståndarlaget, utgruppen. Medlemmar från båda lagen presenterade information till deltagarna genom ett Memory integration is a memory function that promotes knowledge acquisition through the combination of information across overlapping events. This study investigates the influence of ingroup and outgroup sources on memory integration. Participants (N = 61) selected ingroup teammates and outgroup opponents to present them information in a knowledge extension task, driven by memory integration mecha

Denna uppsats undersöker löneskillnaderna mellan män och kvinnor i USA för höginkomsttagare. Mellan 1970-1990 minskade könslöneskillnaderna i USA drastiskt, men en bit in på 1990-talet stannade utvecklingen upp. Att utvecklingen bromsat upp beror främst på att högavlönade yrken idag belönar individer som arbetar “långa timmar” mer än vad som gjordes under 1970-talet. Detta missgynnar kvinnor efter

This study explores the lived experience of individuals with level 1 autism in Sweden, focusing on how societal norms and regimes of truth shape their everyday lives. Drawing on Goffman's theories of stigma and normality, alongside Foucault's perspectives on neoliberalism, this paper investigates the societal challenges and expectations that individuals with autism face. Through interviews

This thesis explores the application of Recommender Systems (RSs) to match borrowers with participant lenders in the syndicated loan market. It aims to determine whether historical interactions in the syndicated loan market contain sufficient information to reveal predictable patterns without relying on large sets of variables related to the lenders, borrowers, and the loans themselves. Two types

Miljöföroreningar grundar sig från industriutsläpp till luft, mark och vatten. Detta har lett till att många områden idag är förorenade av bland annat tungmetaller, petroleumkolväten och PAH. Cirka 86.000 förorenade områden har identifierats runt om i Sverige. Identifiering av förorenade områden möjliggör inventering och riskklassning. För inventering och riskklassning togs därför metodiken om invEnvironmental pollution stems from industrial emissions to the air, soil and water. This has resulted in many areas being contaminated today by, among other things, heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons and PAHs. Approximately 86.000 contaminated sites have been identified across Sweden. Identifying contaminated sites enables inventory and risk classification. Therefore, the method for the inventor

This paper examines the labour market effects of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) at a sectoral level in a panel data setup. The relationship between ICT and human labour has been a major source of debate among both academics and policymakers regarding whether ICT substitutes or complements human labour. By utilizing data from OECD STAN, this study analyses 64 industries across 38 O

The purpose of this study is to investigate how social services and the judiciary see and assess the child's best interests based on legal cases. The focus is on how the child's best interests are taken into account and how the child's voice is being heard. With the critical discourse analysis, we want to gain an insight into what this may be due to and how social services and the law

This study aimed to explore older peoples' reasoning of sexuality as social relations. The study also aimed to examine how the elderly describe changes in their sexuality over time and how they relate to common views of older people's sexuality, as expressed in society. We conducted qualitative semi-structured interviews with six people, 65 years and older. From our empirical data, we obta

This thesis is designed as exploratory research, with the aim of studying the relatively underexplored and poorly understood theory-practice gap in small-medium enterprises transition from sustainability ideal to practice. While existing literature has extensively addressed theoretical implications, scant attention has been paid to the lived experiences of SMEs, particularly within the context of

In the constantly changing environment in which companies operate, it is important to be able to optimize various activities throughout the product lifecycle. This places great demands on companies and their value chain, where information exchanges are central to activities. There are risks and rewards, such as the risk of losing intellectual property and unlocking new business cases, that co
