Title: Artistic methods for persons with dysfunctions. The idea to the paper was born in my work, as a pedagogue, with young persons with dysfunctions. My pedagogic method is eurhythmics but I wanted to examine in what other ways you could work with artistic expression in similar areas such as circus, dance therapy and psychodrama. These areas were chosen because they have components that are int

Skådespelaryrket kräver mycket av en människa både intellektuellt, färdighetsmässigt och fysiskt. Det förväntas också ofta av en skådespelare att vara musikalisk. Musikalitet kan yttra sig på olika sätt. I skådespelarsammanhang vill jag påstå att musikalitet kan finnas i allt från texthantering till hur man rör sin kropp. Jag är rytmikpedagog, men har också arbetat som skådespelare. Syftet med det
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka och synliggöra några olika sätt att se på musik som konst (eller icke-konst).

Chilaw inlet, with the affiliated lagoon, is located on the west coast of Sri Lanka about 120 km north of the capital Colombo. Each year during the summer monsoon, which lasts from May to September, the inlet closes due to a sand spit forming across the inlet. The closure results in impeded access to the sea for the fishermen, who use the lagoon as anchorage for their boats, and in deteriorated wa
År 2003 gick USA och dess allierade in i Irak med motiveringen att Irak hade massförstörelsevapen, detta utan att FN:s säkerhetsråd utfärdat ett mandat. Kriget kritiserades hårt av många länder, bland annat Frankrike, Tyskland och även Sverige. Den svenska lagen säger att vapenhandel inte får bedrivas om det strider mot svensk utrikespolitik men får bedrivas om det finns säkerhets- eller försvars

The re
Stora materialmängder omsätts i byggsektorn, men en stor del restprodukter från byggande och rivning hamnar på avfallsdeponi idag. Bygg- och rivningsavfallet är besvärligt att hantera och sortera på grund av att mängden är stor, sammansättningen komplex och den innehåller många miljöfarliga ämnen. Syfte med examensarbetet är att ta reda på hur hanteringen av bygg- och rivningsavfall går till, v
Detta arbete utgör magisterexamensarbete inom utveckling av betongstommar i flervånings- hus. Under de senaste åren har allt större intresse fokuserats på byggsektorns låga produktivitetsutveckling, höga kostnader, byggnadsvård, oförmåga att ta till sig befintlig kunskap och dåliga lönsamhet. Några stora byggprojekt har dessutom fått stort utrymme i media till följd av bl.a. omfattande byggfel. De
