Denna studie fokuserar på högstadiets musikundervisning och undersöker hur lärare undervisar i klassensemble. Med klassensemble så avses den undervisningsform som innebär att en helklass på minst femton elever spelar tillsammans och där det vanligen är så att flera elever spelar samma typ av instrument. Studien har två fokusområden. Det första är att undersöka hur klassensemble relaterar till diffThis study focuses on the Swedish high-stadium (grade 7-9 of the Swedish school system) music teaching and examines how teachers teach class ensembles. Class ensemble refers to the form of teaching in which a class of at least fifteen students plays together, and where it is usually the case that several students play the same type of instrument. The study has two focus areas. The first one is to

Revision kan dateras tillbaka till 1200-talet och var då ett verktyg för att bolagets ägare skulle få insyn i verksamheten. Området har dock utvecklats sedan dess och revisionens intressenter har blivit fler. På 40-talet lagstadgar Sverige om ett krav på att revisorns granskning även ska omfatta bolagets förvaltning. Inom förvaltningsrevisionen hör även att revisorn ska granska bolagets hantering Auditing can be dated back to the 13th century. Back then it was a tool for the company’s owner to gain insight into the business. The area, that is auditing, has since then evolved and the definition of a stakeholder is broader than ever. In the 1940s, Sweden legislated that the auditing process also should include a requirement to audit the company’s administration. The requirements have now evo

Background The Company produces and sells specialised products and technical solutions worldwide through more than ten different technology-based and decentralised Business Units. While the "Business continuity management"-programme has been implemented throughout the Company for many years, many of the Business Units' "disaster recovery"-capabilities had not been tested un

Globally, there is an intensification of agriculture that puts high pressure on local eco-systems. Soil degradation and deforestation are some effects that in the long-term perspectives cause agricultural degradation. Still, UN projects that we would need to increase our food production by 70 per cent to supply our growing population with food. Currently, we are facing intense urbanisation and in

This project is an examination on the relevance of the compositional principles used in the École des Beaux-Arts, mainly during its prime in the 19th century. The relevance of the principles will be tested through the design of an extension to the Helsingborg City Library. The work is divided into three sections. The first section is an examination on the École des Beaux-Arts. I will examine the a

This thesis examines how queer art history is created through the interaction between two Instagram accounts, the art they post, and their followers. This thesis has analysed how the semiotic meaning-making construct a representation of queerness and what the effects are of a queer focalization in a social media context. This research has analysed several posts and screenshots of the Instagram acc

Galectins are in the centre of an intricate communications system within the cells and designing inhibitory ligands for them has proved useful in discerning the expression and retardation of various diseases. Galectins traditionally bind via carbohydrate recognition domains to carbohydrate ligands. Currently, only limited research has been conducted in regard of finding suitable glycomimetic ligan

Syftet med studien är att få en djupare insikt i hur företag kan bemöta de utmanande och föränderliga förutsättningar för förtroendebyggande marknadskommunikation som en pandemi medför i modern tid och hur situationen hanterats utifrån ett verkligt fall. ​Studien har en kvalitativ metod och en abduktiv forskningsansats. För att undersöka en specifik situation inom ett outforskat teoretiskt områdeThe purpose of this study is to gain deeper insight into how companies can respond to the challenging and changing market conditions that a pandemic brings, by building trustworthy market communication strategies, and how that situation is handled by studying a real case. ​The study has a qualitative method and an abductive research approach. In order to examine a specific event, characterized by

Current in-vitro models for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are standardized 2D cell cultures. These models do not incorporate the complexities seen in the human body 3D environment such as dynamic fluid flow or mechanical stress which are known to affect cellular behavior. MCL is a subtype of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) with a poor prognosis often involving relapses and the overall survival is low. F

Dark matter is an invisible type of matter believed to make up 85 % of the matter in the universe, but it has not yet been identified by experiments. According to certain particle physics theories, possible signatures of dark matter are so-called dark jets. They are the dark matter equivalent to classic jets, i.e collimated streams of particles. These jets could be produced from the proton-proton

Maskininlärning har under senaste årtiondet sett stora framgångar inom en rad olika fält. Grundidén bakom maskininlärning är att istället för att komma på ett smart sätt att lösa något komplicerat problem, så kan man skapa ett datorprogram som lär sig lösa problemet åt en. Sådana metoder för att lösa problem har funnit applikationer inom en rad olika fält, och används inom allt från självkörande bMachine-learning methods have in recent years seen a great deal of use in condensed matter physics. In this thesis we apply such methods, specifically machine-learning with artificial neural networks, to the equilibrium and non-equilibrium description of the Hubbard and Hubbard-Holstein models. In the framework of ground-state density functional theory we reproduce results from the literature rega

Att sälja sin bostad hör till en av livets största affärer. Ett viktigt moment är att bestämma ett utgångspris för sin bostad, men det råder oklarheter kring vilken inverkan utgångspriser har på utfallet i en försäljning. Studien ”List prices in Icelandic residential property sales – A strategic tool for achieving higher sales prices or quicker time-on-market?” tar sikte på Islands bostadsmarknad,In recent years, Iceland has experienced a growing demand for residential housing and the average square-meter price for apartments and single-family homes in the Capital Region has almost doubled between 2010 and 2019. Property sales in Iceland are most commonly intermediated by real estate brokers and the sales process stands in contrast to other Nordic countries, since it involves a bidding pro

Previous research has found that the euro increases FDI flows, yet the evidence of to what extent the EMU membership enhances FDI flows differs between studies. This thesis aims to estimate the impact the financial crisis has had on FDI flows and to further compare the impact the crisis has had on the euro countries to non-euro countries. Bilateral FDI data for both inflows and outflows for the OE

We study a version of the two-envelope problem where a host presents two indistinguishable envelopes to a player. a player is informed that the monetary content of one of the envelopes is twice that of the other and is then allocated one of the envelopes. The player decides whether or not to keep the allocated envelope knowing the content of the allocated envelope and the probability distribution
