This chapter illustrates the intimate connection between creativity and learning in music making and it is suggested that agentive learning across the individual and collective may be studied as expansive learning. By drawing on empirical data from instrumental vocal tuition and professional organ improvisation, it is discussed how individual experiences of tensions and problems in artistic work m

Popular Abstract in French L'inquiétude grandit quant à la perte de la biodiversité liée aux changements d'utilisation des terres, l’effet de cette perte sur les services écosystémiques fournis par les communautés naturelles et semi-naturelles et, finalement, la menace que cela pourrait entraîner sur le bien-être de l’Homme. Ce travail de thèse examine l'impact de l'utilisation des terres présenteConcerns are increasing about the loss of biodiversity under land use change and how this will affect the ecosystem services provided by natural and semi-natural communities and consequently how this will threaten human well-being. The thesis examines the impact of present and past land use on different aspects of biodiversity; namely species diversity, traits and functional diversity and on ecos

A network model has been formulated and used for computer simulations of the geometry an mechanical behaviour of cellulose fibre networks. The focus is on the properties needed to proceed with a continuum analysis of fracture, that is stiffness, strength and fracture energy. It is found that the ductility of inter-fibre bonds has a strong effect on the fracture properties. Localization of the frac

Många människor upplever att de mår dåligt av inomhusmiljön i sina bostäder och på sina arbetsplatser. Detta är bakgrunden till att Formas under en sexårsperiod avsatt sammanlagt 180 miljoner kronor till forskning inom detta område. Projektet som den här rapporten bygger på är ett av många som på detta sätt ingår i insatsområdet ”Det sunda huset” och här anläggs ett vidare perspektiv på denna typ

In 2001, when the Taliban decided to destroy numerous cultural artefacts, including two colossal Buddha statues, that they considered incompatible with their faith, a large outcry was heard across the Western world. From the UNESCO to the British Museum, and from the Dalai Lama to countless head of governments, all were united in condemning this act of ’cultural terrorism’ that was said to prove n

We propose a technique for test scheduling and design of test bus infrastructure where test application time and test bus length and width are minimized while constraints on power consumption and test resources are considered. Our approach is suitable for repeated use in the design space exploration process due to its low computational cost. For the final design, we use simulated annealing to opti

Psykologyrket kan ta sig många olika former och uttryck. Därför är de arbetsmiljöer och vardagssituationer yrkesverksamma psykologer möter högst varierande. En del psykologer är verksamma inom offentlig sektor, andra inom privat sektor. En del psykologer arbetar med utvecklingsfrågor och barn och ungdomar, andra med rehabiliteringsfrågor och äldre människor. Resurser, problem och målgrupper kan va
