How can we make visual art accessible for audiences with visual impairment and blindness? Can audio description help blind and visually impaired (BVI) audiences to understand and experience art? Which ingredients must AD contain to evoke and stimulate the creation of vivid internal mental images? Can AD engage the target audiences and contribute to their aesthetic experience and enjoyment? What ot

This master’s thesis describes methods of calculating deformations of large astronomical telescope mirrors caused by the mirror support system. In the first part of the report these calculation methods are derived, along with methods of optimizing a support system pattern. Both analytical and numerical methods are described in the case of deformation analysis, and methods based on probabilistic me

Title: Setting music to text: Teaching methods regarding musical composition in acting education. The abundant use of musical terms as prestige words in artistic and educational theatre discourses seems to indicate that musicality – in some sense of the word – is generally considered an important quality in acting. Music is part of the curriculum of the BA programme in acting at Malmö Theatre Acad

An investigation of the autonomy of the process region at the tip of a crack is carried out. An elastic plastic linearly hardening material is assumed. A cohesive zone model with constant cohesive stress is chosen. The cohesive zone length is observed to decrease with decreasing hardening rates and increasing cohesive stresses. For a cohesive stress larger than about three times the yield stress tAn investigation of the autonomy of the process region at the tip of a crack is carried out.

On the 4th of July 2024 the Swedish government decided to assign the Agency for Digital Government and the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection to give guidelines for increasing use of generative artificial intelligence in the public sector. One year later, on the 10th of September 2025, the government released their budget proposition for the year 2026. Here the National Archives of Sweden (N

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to describe different types of relations between ERP vendors and consultants and analyze how these relationships affect the role of the consultant in ERP implementation. Methodology: Primarily, a qualitative method has been undertaken in the collection of empirical data. This was performed through multiple case studies with six case companies, which provide

A large part of the hunt for safety within the healthcare domain seems to be about hunting errors and trying to develop barriers to prevent similar errors in the future, learning from errors. People are seen as the liability and they should try harder to be safe. This study focuses on trying to understand how nurses create safety within the work instead of looking at the errors produced, learni

In 1994, the Malmo-Klaipeda twinning programme was approved by the World Federation of Hemophilia. One of the first steps in the collaboration has been to set up a registry of the haemophilia patients in the Klaipeda area. In order to collect important clinical data the patients have been examined jointly by experts on haemophilia from the two centres. Seventeen out of 25 patients with severe haem

High spin states in the neutron deficient isotopes Ru90 and Ru91 have been studied in the 2p2n and 2pn exit channels of the reaction Ar-36 + Ni-58 using the 149 MeV Ar-36 beam at VICKSI and the OSIRIS array. By gating the gammagamma coincidences with evaporated neutrons and protons, excited states in Ru90 were identified for the first time and the level scheme of Ru-91 was extended. In both nuclei

A second species of the hitherto monotypic genus Microdonophagus Schauff is described as Microdonophagus levis sp. nov. The species is described from material collected at La Selva Biological Research Station in Costa Rica. Unlike the previously described species, Microdonophagus woodleyi Schauff, it is described from females only and the biology is not known. The addition of a second species of M

The name 'Acinetobacter venetianus' has been used previously to designate three marine hydrocarbon-degrading Acinetobacter strains, of which strain RAG-1 (=ATCC 31012) has industrial applications for the production of the bioemulsifier emulsan. However, to date, the name of this taxon has not been validly published. In this study, five strains were examined to corroborate the delineation of this t

There has recently been a considerable attention to the possible role of semiconductor nanowires for future device applications. To make this development feasible, precise control over the growth mechanism is required. In the Vapor-Liquid-Solid growth, the most common growth mechanism, gas phase precursors decompose in presence of catalytic particles and after supersaturating the particles, solid

We show that the 'orthogonal' characteristics of the observed rapidity gaps and large forward energy flows in deep inelastic scattering at HERA, can be described within a single framework. Our Monte Carlo model is based on perturbative QCD matrix elements and parton showers together with Lund string model hadronization, but has in addition a new mechanism for soft colour interactions which modifie

This article describes a model of a student-centered Clinical Education Unit (CEU) within an undergraduate nursing education programme. The model comprises three various levels of learning in the nursing education programme at School of Health Sciences, University College of Borås, Sweden. The three levels of learning correspond to the first, second and third programme years of the nursing educati

Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is an apt tool for a total thermodynamic description of self-assembly of atypical amphiphiles such as anionic boron cluster compounds (COSAN) in water. Global fitting of ITC enthalpograms reveals remarkable features that differentiate COSAN from classical amphiphiles: (i) strong enthalpy and weak entropy contribution to the free energy of aggregation, (ii) lo
