Kan man gestalta teologi i musik? Vi som kyrkomusiker spelar ofta musik som ska frambära ett teologiskt budskap i form av psalmer. Väldigt ofta spelar vi bara det som står i koralboken. Det är funktionellt, men jag tror att vi kan göra så mycket mer. I denna essä kommer jag undersöka hur man kan ta inspiration från J. S. Bachs orgelmusik och använda teologiska motiv i sitt eget liturgiska orgelspeIs it possible to portray theology through music? Church musicians often play music with a theological message, the hymns. Most of the times we play what is written in the hymnbook. It works fine, but I think we can do much more. In this essay I will investigate how you can be inspired by the organ music of J. S. Bach and use theological motives in the liturgical playing and through this strengthe

It departs from the premise that such expulsions do not violate absolute rights but constitute interferences with a qualified right, which allows for infringements neces

The energy transition raises concerns about local communities' marginalisation in decision-making and ownership models, leading to justice debates. Community energy (CE) gains attention as a pathway towards energy justice (EJ). Drawing on qualitative data collected on Gotland, we examine how the Austerland CE project delivers EJ. Our findings indicate that despite gender equality among members

This master's thesis explores the use of unsupervised machine learning techniques to cluster countries based on their degree of human rights violations. Accordingly, the study evaluates the performance of two clustering methods, K-Means clustering and Latent Class Analysis (LCA), using two cluster validation metrics (Silhouette Coefficient and Dunn Index), as well as an Accuracy measure using

In the past years, antigenderism has become a growing coalition that has moved from being a monopoly of the Vatican to being picked up by Catholic associations and politicians, quickly reaching the general public. The word “gender” has become an empty signifier to attack queer and feminist agendas, sexual and reproductive rights but also gender studies scholars and courses. A big role in the sprea
