Home oxygen therapy is a well-accepted treatment for advanced respiratory disease; however, there are substantial evidence gaps and implementation challenges. The patient experience varies widely; oxygen therapy devices are often poorly matched to patient needs; and adherence is suboptimal. Recent clinical trials have failed to demonstrate positive outcomes of home oxygen therapy across a range of

Många organister brottas med ergonomiska utmaningar kopplat till kroppshållningen. I detta arbete redogörs för orgelns särskilda svårigheter och vad olika källor säger om hur viktig ryggens position är, samt hur man på sikt kan förbättra sin hållning. Därefter genomfördes ett orgel-specifikt styrketräningsprogram utformat av P. J. Hawkins. Detta träningsprogram ledde på sex veckor fram till en märMany organists struggle with ergonomy in regard to posture. This paper presents the particular difficulties with organ-playing, views from different sources on the position of the back and how it can affect the musical flow of the performer, as well as how one can improve their posture over time. From here, an organ-specific strength training routine, as designed by H. J. Hawkins, was carried out,

I detta arbete testades övningsmetoder för att förbättra den musikaliska fraseringen. Metoden bestod av att med hjälp av sång, taktering, gestikulering och planerade andningar öva fraser utan instrument. Syftet var att effektivisera övningen utan fysisk ansträngning samt ge en ökad förståelse för vad det innebär att frasera musik. Resultatet visar att övning utan instrument var hjälpsamt för fraseIn this thesis, practice methods were tested to improve musical phrasing. The methods consisted of practicing phrases without instrument using singing, conducting, gesturing and planned breathing. The aim was to make the practice more efficient without physical effort and to provide increased understanding of what it means to phrase music. The results show that practicing without instrument was he

Detta arbete undersöker hur treklanger kan användas och expanderas för att generera voicings som fångar ett sound som jag inspireras av. Metoden är praktikbaserad och bygger på systematisk utforskning vid pianot, där treklangsbaserade voicings, add-strukturer och polyackord har genererats, testats och kategoriserats utifrån konsonans och dissonans genom både upplevd och teoretisk analys. ResultateThis study explores how triads can be expanded and applied to generate voicings that capture a specific sound that inspires me. The method is practice-based and involves systematic exploration at the piano, where triad-based voicings, additive structures, and polychords have been generated, tested, and categorized according to consonance and dissonance through both theoretical and perceptual analy

This paper focuses on the process of transcribing for guitar the music written for vihuela and lute in the Renaissance. Its aim is to highlight the benefits for the transcriber of engaging in this kind of work and to explore both the challenges one faces in the process and some of the options one has when presenting this music in modern notation. It concludes that the craft of transcribing is simu

Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka hur orgelackompanjemang till gregoriansk sång kan utformas för att passa olika konstellationer av sångare, till exempel församling, kör eller solist. Det görs genom att jämföra orgelsatser med utgångspunkt i Svenska kyrkans handböcker och olika egenkomponerade ackompanjemang. Data samlades in dels genom en kvalitativ intervju med gregorianikvetaren Anders EkenbeThe purpose of this work is to investigate how to form an organ accompaniment of Gregorian chant or plainchant to suit different constellations of singers, such as congregations, choirs or soloists. This is done by comparing organ parts in present day service books of Church of Sweden to accompaniments composed by the author. Data was collected from a qualitative interview with the chant expert An

Title A process for the strategic redeployment decision of underutilized material handling equipment within a third-party logistics provider’s network: a Case Study Authors Daniel Freire and Hendrik Jacobsen Contribution This thesis has been a complete collaboration between the two authors. Each author has been involved in every part of the process and contributed equally. Supervisor Joakim

Denna autoetnografiska studie i textformat undersöker hur reumatoid artrit kan förändra en musikers övningspraktik, tekniska arbete och förståelse av konstnärlig utveckling. Bakgrunden är mitt eget insjuknande under pågående musikutbildning, vilket påverkade möjligheten till kontinuerligt instrumentalutövande. Studien genomförs genom en analys av tre perioder i mitt arbete med Dittersdorfs kontrabThis autoethnographic study, presented in written format, examines how rheumatoid arthritis may transform a musician’s practice routine, technical work, and understanding of artistic development. The background is my own illness during higher music education, which affected the possibility of continuous practice of my instrument. The study is based on an analysis of three periods in my work with D

While the climate crisis is escalating, environmental movements play a critical role in driving socio-political change. However, political instability is becoming more prevalent in many countries, presenting a potential opportunity and/or challenge for social mobilization. Therefore, this study investigates how environmental activists navigate political instability, based on interviews with enviro

I detta examensarbete har jag arbetat fram metoder för att kunna öva så effektivt som möjligt med den tiden jag har i ett övningsrum. Jag valde detta ämne för att få en bättre förhållning till min övnings-/ dagsrutin och genom det ett mer hållbart liv som framtida musiker. Syftet är att kunna öva de timmarna jag behöver få gjort under skoldagen men ändå ha tid över för träning, annat kreativt skapIn this bachelor's thesis I have set out to find methods of practising as efficiently as possible with the time I have in the music practice room. I chose this subject in order to have a better approach to my daily practising routine and a more sustainable life as a future musician. The purpose is to be able to practise the hours I need during the school day and yet have enough time for physic

Current agricultural practices are not sustainable to meet the demands of a growing global population, requiring alternative methods to produce food ingredients, such as proteins, oils, and fats. The emerging field of novel food, including precision fermentation and cultivated meat, presents new approaches, but needs further research to reach scalable commercial viability. Improved understanding o

This thesis explores how children can be actively involved in the design and construction of architecture through the creation of an outdoor kitchen at Guldängen Bygglek in Malmö. Using participatory design and full-scale creation as research methods, the children were invited in both the sketching and building processes. The project investigates how children’s perspectives can inform architectura

Combining high-contrast imaging (HCI) with high-resolution spectroscopy (HRS) is one of the leading strategies for the next generation of direct-imaging instruments on the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). HCI suppresses the host star’s light spatially through adaptive optics and coronagraphy, while HRS suppresses it spectrally by exploiting the Doppler-shifted molecular lines in the planet’s atmos

To study Si and Fe based microwires coated with TiN we will need to design and test a cell on a tabletop X-ray setup called easyXAFS300. To do this we have developed a X-ray absorption spectroscopy spectroelectrical (XAS-SEC) cell. To test the easyX- AFS300 equipment on the soft part of the X-ray spectrum we have cooperated with Hang Yin to measure a Lanthanum halide compound Cs3LaCl6. These compo

Purpose: The purpose of this project was to examine how the degree of cancer suspicion evaluated by an AI system differs when examining repeated images of a realis=c breast phantom acquired with DM and DBT. This project is a part of a larger project to develop quality assurance systems and methods for AI systems in breast cancer screening. Background: AI systems are currently being introduced in b

Background and Aim: A new PET/CT scanner using BGO crystals was recently introduced in the clinic. Unlike scanners with LSO/LYSO crystals, this scanner does not include the time- of-flight (TOF) property, due to low timing resolution of BGO crystals. To compensate for the lack of TOF, the reconstructed images can be filtered with an AI model, called Precision DL (PDL), which has been trained on im
