Vad innebär det att spela en transkription? Är transkriptionen relevant? Vilka är skillnaderna och likheterna mellan olika transkriptioner? I syfte att fördjupa mig i transkriptioner inom klassisk musik, valde jag att utgå från Schuberts arpeggionesonat. Ett stycke som transkriberats många gånger för många olika instrument och som, från början, är skrivet för ett instrument som hade en kort tid a

I denna examensarbetesrapport beskrivs utvecklingen av en dold och hållbar produkt för ström och signalöverföring till skjutdörrars rörliga dörrblad. Examensarbetet har genomförts i samarbete med Assa Abloy Entrance Systems, med målet att möjliggöra användningen av tillbehör som smarta glas, skärmar integrerade i dörrglaset, elektriska lås och sensorer monterade på dörrbladen hos deras skjutdörrarThis master’s thesis report describes the product development process of a durable and concealed product for transferring power and signals to the moving door leafs of sliding doors. The thesis has been conducted in collaboration with Assa Abloy Entrance Systems, with the goal of enabling the use of accessories such as privacy e-glass, screens integrated in the glass, electric locks and sensors mo

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how the current green bond standards influence the use of proceeds obtained from the issuance of green bonds. We also aim to explore the limitations of the standards and how the standards can be further improved to promote the development of the green bond market. Methodology: A qualitative research approach was used, consisting of a literature

This study investigated how younger and older men differ in their coping behaviour and set out to explore the relationship with changing masculinity standards. In order to investigate this theme, a combined quantitative and qualitative method with convenience sampling was used. The survey, Brief COPE, was employed to measure differences in coping behavior over two generations (Younger = 30, Older

In May of 2017, the city council of Malmö decided to establish a new contact center. This contact center replaced the original call center with the expectation to increase democracy, accessibility, and more efficient service. As a part of the transition, the previous telephonist workers were terminated and replaced by the new profession kommunvägledare. This study reaches from the feminist discuss

Sveriges elsystem står inför en rad kommande utmaningar. En lovande lösning till många av dessa är efterfrågeflexibilitet. Men vad är byggnaders möjligheter och begränsningar att vara flexibla i sin elanvändning? Förutsättningarna för elförsörjningen i Sverige förändras i takt med att kärnkraften gradvis fasas ut och ersätts med väderberoende elproduktion i form av vind- och solkraft. Detta sker Sweden is heading towards an energy system with less nuclear power and more intermittent energy sources. Together with the coming electrification of the transport and industry sector, this challenges the future stability of the Swedish power system. However, a part of the solution could be that consumption of electricity temporarily is adjusted to facilitate the operation of the power system, reco

This thesis studies segmentation and categorization of highway road data, with the ambition that the understanding gained could be used for virtual verification of road scenarios for self-driving systems. We will look at a few approaches for segmentation of the road data, such as heuristics as well as methods involving optimization. The result of the segmentation is categorized and we then explore

The world is currently facing many great challenges, including a rising inequality as a result of the benefits occurring from economic development accrues to some individuals on the expense of others. This is an issue which is even more significant in the Global South. Hence, social innovations have been proposed as an important factor to tackle this problem. Yet, many social innovations fail not

This master thesis was produced with the intention of being a conceptual study of existing solutions and development of new solutions for a train mounted system for collection of brake dust particles from trains. Furthermore, an investigation of the risks attributable to brake dust and why the reduction of it is necessary was made. The problem was approached systematically through the adoption of

The current global scenario is such where impact on the environment is becoming a rising concern. Global automotive manufacturers have focused more towards hybrid and electric vehicles as both more aware customers and governmental legislation have begun demanding higher emission standards. One of the many ways that Volvo Car Group approaches this trend is by mild hybridization which is by assistin

Many regions around the world suffer from occasional or permanent droughts. Recent years have shown that although Sweden is not a water scarce country, it is vulnerable to dry peri- ods. As drinking water is applied in not only households, but within agriculture and indus- tries, this thesis explores the opportunities to achieve an improved management of water re- sources, by investigating the pos

The present study aimed at investigating the recent phenomenon termed Fear of missing out (FOMO), which builds on a feeling of constantly having to be connected to what other people are doing on social media in order to not miss out. The purpose of this study was to see if a link between FOMO and social media addiction is present and if Swedish university students’ well-being and academic performa

A prototype invasive (quasi-parasitic) thermal-neutron beam monitor based on isotropic neutron scattering from a thin natural Vanadium foil and standard $^3$He proportional counters has been conceptualized, designed, simulated, calibrated, and commissioned. As the beam monitor is invasive, very low neutron-beam attenuation is a necessary characteristic. Further, response linearity over as wide a r

The development of today’s energy-efficient dwellings often results in highly technical building solutions. We try to shield ourselves and our buildings as much as we can from the outdoors and subsequently loose an essential connection to the elements. Traditional design principals fall into oblivion and high-rise glass towers are justified with technological progress. By implementing selective st

Miljonprogrammet pågick mellan cirka år 1965 till år 1975 och hade som mål att producera en miljon bostäder för att tackla de bostadsproblem som rådde i Sverige under 1950-talet. Med ett stort fokus på att producera så många bostäder som möjligt föll valet till en början på att främst producera flerbostadshus. Byggnaderna från miljonprogrammet börjar närma sig en ålder av 50 år vilket vanligtvis i

Denna studie har syftat till att undersöka hur negativa och positiva emotioner, likväl som rädsla och mod, spelar roll i “the knowing-doing gap”och påverkar utövandet av ledarskap hos chefer i svenska organisationer. Undersökningen var en kvalitativ studie baserad på semistrukturerade intervjuer med tematisk analys, som undersökte hur sju chefer upplever att deras ledarskap påverkas av emotioner.

Additiv tillverkning, eller 3D-printing, är på grund av sina många fördelar en ständigt ökande tillverkningsmetod. Designfriheten, det reducerade materialspillet, förkortad tid från ritning till färdig produkt och förmågan att kunna printa rörliga delar gör 3D-printing intressant för många olika användningsområden. Ett användningsområde där relativt lite forskning gjorts men som har ett ökat intreAdditive manufacturing, or 3D-printing, is due to its many advantages an increasingly used form of manufacturing. The design freedom, reduced material waste, shortened process from drawing to finished product, and the ability to print moving parts make it extremely interesting for many applications. One application where not much research has been done, but there is an increasing interest, is the

WHO The World Health Organisation (WHO) recognises that demographic trends play an essential role in the overall development of a country and improvements in economic, social and health conditions. One of the grand theories of population studies is the Demographic Transition Theory, a linear and universal model of population change. The greatest challenge to the Demographic Transition Theory’s des

This bachelor thesis in social anthropology researches the subject of integration and refugee narratives in contemporary Danish society. It is firstly a study of what integration means in Danish culture and how integration is debated in the Danish public debate. Secondly it is a study of how the Danish public discourse reflects itself in the refugee narratives. Moreover, this thesis investigates t
