Popular Abstract in Swedish Undervisning ställer stora krav på lärares röster. Rösten behövs som ett pedagogiskt verktyg, i kommunikation med eleverna, i allt ifrån högläsning till instruktioner i idrottshallen. I en studie från 1996 beskrev Fritzell (1996) att lärare är överrepresenterade i väntrummen på röstmottagningarna. Flera studier om förekomsten av röstproblem hos lärare har genomförts i oTeachers have high occupational voice demands and is a group frequently presented at voice clinics. Little is known about the teachers’ own view of the contribution from the environment and about the teachers’ voice use at their work-place. The purpose of the present thesis was ; to develop and assess a self-rating instrument for the rating of throat-related problems in relation to voice, to inve

This thesis comprises five papers discussing two case studies – the mega-event World Championships in Athletics 1995 in Göteborg and the regional festival Storsjöyran in Östersund, Sweden. The study adopts an organisational-theoretical perspective and focus on both intra- and interorganisational aspects of the marketing work. The purpose is to understand the structure and the processes of the orga

Background: Work capacity correlates weakly to disease concepts, which in turn are insufficient to explain sick leave behavior. With data mainly from Sweden, a welfare state with high sickness absence rates, our aim was to develop an explanatory theory of how to understand and deal with work absence and sick leave. Methods: We used classic grounded theory for analyzing data from >130 interviews wi

A metric analysis on hulled barley grain from the Iron Age regional centre of Uppåkra and surrounding sites in southern Sweden has identified a variation in the size of the grain found on these archaeological sites. Large, high-quality grain was found more frequently at Uppåkra when compared to sites in the surrounding area, where smaller grain was more frequent. The observed large grain found at

Background: The Hawthorne Effect is the change in behaviour by subjects due to their awareness of being observed and is evident in both research and clinical settings as a result of various forms of observation. When the Hawthorne effect exists, it is short-lived, and likely leads to increased productivity, compliance, or adherence to standard protocols. This study is a qualitative component of an

Root distribution during rice cultivation is a governing factor that considerably affects soil water content (SWC) and root water uptake (RWU). In this study, the effects of activating root growth (using growth function) and assigning a constant average root depth (no growth during simulation) on SWC and RWU for rice cultivation under four deficit drip irrigation treatments (T90, T80, T70, and T60

BACKGROUND: Despite the increasing longevity of the world's population, with an unprecedented rise in the number of people who need palliative care (PC), there has been sparse research regarding palliative care for older people, especially when it comes to comparison of PC between healthcare systems and cultures. The aim of this systematic scoping review was to identify the characteristics of the

Measurement of forces exerted by a human hand while performing common gestures is a highly valuable task for assessment of neurorehabilitation and neurological disorders, but also, for control of movement that could be directly transferred to assistive devices. Even though accurate and selective multi-joint measurement of hand forces is desirable in both clinical and research applications there is

Background: Health professions education programs are tasked with designing curricula to effectively andefficiently equip their graduates with the required competences and life-long learning skills needed fortoday’s fast-paced, knowledge intensive society. Continuous monitoring and improving of educationalquality is essential to attain these goals. Quality assurance is multi-faceted and requires t

Filmdistributionen befinner sig i en ny digital verklighet. Den snabba tekniska utveckling som har ägt rum de senaste decennierna har inneburit stora utmaningar för såväl filmindustrins affärsmodell som de upphovsrättsliga bestämmelser som reglerar skyddet för filmverk och dess upphovsmän. Ett exempel på en bestämmelse vars tillämpningsområde är oklart till följd av den nya distributionen av digitFilm distribution has found itself in a new digital reality. The swift progress of technology that has taken place during the past decades has posed major challenges for both the film industry's business model and for the copyright laws that regulate the area. An example of a regulation whose scope is unclear as a result of the new distribution of digital copies is the principle of exhaustion.

I Massachusetts, USA har en domstol dömt en ung kvinna för vållande till annans död då hon genom textmeddelandet förmått sin pojkvän att begå självmord. I Sverige läggs förundersökningen ner efter att polisman instruerat en ung kvinna att begå självmord genom textmeddelanden. Båda fallen får stor uppmärksamhet och väcker många frågor. I Sverige är det inte olagligt att varken begå självmord elleA court in Massachusetts, USA has convicted a young woman of involuntary manslaughter after she pushed her boyfriend through text messages to commit suicide. In Sweden, the preliminary investigation was closed down after a policeman instructed a young woman through text messages in how to commit suicide. Both cases received great attention and raised many questions. It is not illegal in Sweden to

Sexuella övergrepp är den vanligaste formen av skadlig behandling av barn globalt sett. Samhällets syn på barnet som ett högst skyddsvärt objekt har lett till utvecklingen av särskilda metoder för arbetet med barn idag. För att undvika risken att ett barn som varit med om en traumatisk upplevelse tvingas påminnas om det har en praxis skapats som innebär att barnet inte närvarar i rättegången. StörSexual abuse is the most common form of harmful treatment of children globally. Society´s view of the child as particularly worthy of protection has led to the development of specific methods used in the work with children today. In order to avoid the risk of children subject to abuse being forced to relive the events, a custom of not having the child attend the trial has formed. A greater focus i

Den 1 juli 2018 fick Sverige en ny våldtäktslagstiftning. Den nya lagstiftningen innebar att rekvisitet som skiljer olagligt och lagligt sexuellt umgänge förändrades. I tidigare våldtäktslagstiftning har tvång varit en förutsättning för att en våldtäkt skulle anses förövad. Med den nya regleringen står nu frivillighet i centrum för denna bedömning. Lagändringen föregicks av mycket debatt. Det diskOn the 1st of July 2018 Sweden changed the law on sexual assault. The new law meant that the prerequisite that separate sexual assault and legal sexual intercourse was changed. In previous legislation coercion was needed for a perpetrator to be convicted of sexual assault. The new law instead places voluntariness at the center of the court’s assessment. The amendment was preceded by much debate. T

The initiating impetus of this project was a frustration over the en-masse inaction experienced in relation to the climate crisis. Although people are aware of necessary actions few are able to act. This project attempts to understand people’s inability to act whilst looking at ways to counter this apathy through behavioral change. Through research on convenience, human behavior and inaction we a

The maximum light use efficiency (LUE = gross primary production (GPP)/absorbed photosynthetic photon flux density (aPPFD)) of plant canopies has been reported to vary spatially and some of this variation has previously been attributed to plant species differences. The canopy nitrogen concentration [N] can potentially explain some of this spatial variation. However, the current paradigm of the N-e

This thesis investigates the word order in the main and embedded clauses of four Swedish monolingual children, covering the age range 1;3–4;0. Using a generative framework, a quantitative and qualitative analysis focusing on the syntax of verb placement and complementizers is presented. Chapters 1 to 4 offer a background to the thesis. In chapter 1 the aims and the material are presented. Chapte

Purpose This chapter explains how and why local parking policies are developed, the sometimes conflicting relationship between parking, revenue raising and economic development and the circumstances in which it may be appropriate to use parking policy as a demand management tool. Methodology/approach This chapter offers a review of prior research and literature on the topic parking management and

Since the end of the 1990s, the number of fires increases dramatically in the city of Malmö. Between 1998 and 2009, the increase was 215 percent. A growing number of the fires are intentional and take place outdoors. Most of the fires are also concentrated in a limited number of neighborhoods. Furthermore, many schools are affected. Between 2000 and 2011, nearly 360 intentional fires occurred in s

This thesis examines how the restrictive doctrine of state immunity is approached and applied in Sweden. The thesis focuses on disputes involving the distinction between sovereign and commercial acts in general, and employment disputes in particular. The thesis uses a legal dogmatic method with elements of legal analysis, where the analysis is primarily based on case law from the Supreme Court o
