Syftet med denna studie är att få mer kunskap om hur man kan använda kroppen i sångundervisning. Jag undersöker vad ett urval av sångpedagoger anser om förhållandet mellan röstorganet och resten av kroppen och hur de tillämpar det praktiskt i sin undervisning. Metoden jag använder mig av är en kvalitativ intervjuundersökning och resultatet visar bland annat att pedagogerna använder kroppen i sångu

This essay is a qualitative study concerned with questions about disability. I set out from a definition of disability which highlights non-disabled peoples´ participation in making a disabled person ?the Other?. My aim is to contribute to an understanding of the experiences of disabled people as well as problemize the way that normality and disability is socially constructed. The empirical materi

National identity, multiculturalism and invisible norms are three conceptions focused on in this essay. They are discussed and analysed with the purpose of deepening deepen the understanding of their meaning. Further on they become instruments in a study of the Liberal Party's proposal for new politics of integration. My ambition is to distinguish signs of a Swedish national identity in this p

The idea of empowering women as a strategy for poverty alleviation, has become increasingly popular with institutions, such as the UN and the World Bank, as well as with NGO:s. Today there is not one definition of what empowerment should mean and the concept is used in many different contexts and is the stated goal of various development strategies. Therefore it is interesting to take a closer

After the tsunami disaster in December 2004 many arguments were heared that one oft the major reasons behind the poor Swedish effort connected to the evacuation and health care of the Swedish citizens in Thailand right after the incident is the Swedish model with independent government authorities. By comparing the constitution, the political decision making tradition by the ministers and the hand

The official rhetoric of American Presidents is viewed by many non-Americans as somewhat ridiculous and unduly pompous and self-righteous. Vanessa Beasley, on the other hand, has argued that the constant references to the superiority of the American nation in the rhetoric of its presidents have been required in order to keep the extremely diversified nation together. Starting from a constructivi

Since the breakdown of the Soviet Union, more than fifteen revolutionary years have passed. Estonia and Latvia have undergone a change from communist states to members of the European Union. As in so many other post-communist states corruption has been a problem. However, Estonia has since the independence had a lower degree of corruption than the neighbour country Latvia. The main purpose of

I have chosen to compare and analyse anti-Semitism on two Islamist and two neo-Nazi websites. The websites belong to Radio Islam, The Muslim Brotherhood, The National Socialist Movement and The National Socialist Front. I have used the theories of William Brustein and Walter Laqueur, which claim that the perception of the Jew and Judaism has remained more or less the same for two thousands years.

In a working world faced with technological innovation, rampant viruses, environmental and climate change, and a volatile global political situation, agricultural workers face the continuing dual human rights dilemma of occupational health and safety and access to a healthy environment. More than a third of the world's working population is engaged in agriculture, which plays a vital role in d

We present 17 transit light curves of seven known warm-Jupiters observed with the CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS). The light curves have been collected as part of the CHEOPS Guaranteed Time Observation (GTO) program that searches for transit-timing variation (TTV) of warm-Jupiters induced by a possible external perturber to shed light on the evolution path of such planetary systems. We

INTRODUCTION: Chemoprevention against colorectal cancer (CRC) is greatly needed. As the development of CRC involves multiple dysfunctional pathways, it is thus reasonable to combine some agents that address several pathways to achieve better chemoprotection. We aimed to explore whether the use of aspirin and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)-either as monotherapy or combined-can have

Syftet med texten är att undersöka attityder till historiska händelser i Pompejis materiella arv; att svara på frågan varför man valde att ge fast form åt minnesbildning genom en undersökning av hur och var lokala händelser memorerats och en reflektion över vilken sorts händelser som förts fram. I vidaste mening handlar texten om romersk historiebruk utanför den styrande staden. Kontrasten mellan

We present mass models of the Milky Way created to fit observational constraints and to be consistent with expectations from theoretical modelling. The method used to create these models is that demonstrated in our previous study, and we improve on those models by adding gas discs to the potential, considering the effects of allowing the inner slope of the halo density profile to vary, and includi

Cholecystokinin (CCK) has recently been shown to activate mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in rat pancreatic acini [Duan and Williams, Am. J. Physiol. 267 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 30): G401-G408, 1994]. To evaluate the mechanism of MAP kinase activation, we studied the effects of CCK on MAP kinase kinase (MEK) in rat pancreatic acini. Two forms of MEK were identified by immunoblotting,

In July of 2009 punitive measures were taken by the Swedish government in order to deal with the somewhat new phenomenon known as grooming. The law, called “contact with children for sexual purposes” requires that the adult perpetrator contacts a child, with the purpose of committing sexual offences at a future meeting with the child. Although the law was received with gratitude from many parts of

For the sense of well-being and human health, a pleasant indoor environment is essential. Today, people spend about 90 % of their time indoors, meaning that they can be significantly affected by the buildings in which they spend most of their time. Older people are bound to spend more time indoors and also as they belong to the most sensitive age group, their indoor environments as elderly homes m
