”Ordet klang är tomt i sig om det inte vibrerar någonstans hos personen i fråga” Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilka beröringspunkter som finns i fyra sångpedagogers förhållningsätt och tankar kring klang och sound i sångundervisning. Insamling av dataunderlag till resultatet har skett genom en kvalitativ intervjumetod med halvstrukturerade samtal som utgångspunkt. Därefter har resultatenTitle: The word timbre in itself doesn’t mean anything if it’s not incorporated with the individual person. This study aims to examine similarities between four vocal coaches regarding their approach to the work with tone colour, the timbre in their students’ voices. This study is based on a qualitative interview method with semi-structured interviews as a starting point. The recorded interviews w

Background: Chemokines are small molecular weight proteins, which mainly function as a chemoattractant cytokines for leukocyte migration. Emerging data indicate that chemokines may also play a role in cancer biology. Colon cancer is one of the most leading causes of death especially in the industrial world. The most common causes of mortality are due to the metastasis of colon cancer. Aim: The aim

Popular Science Summary Konsten att kunna ta bort ett syre Alla celler har DNA, som måste repareras och kopieras för att livet ska fortgå. För att kunna göra detta måste det finnas byggstenar. En av alla processer som ser till att alla delar finns i rätt mängd innefattar bara ett protein. Ett protein som får instruktioner från många håll för att gå igenom en komplicerad process som tillverkar dessThe protein ribonucleotide reductase catalyses the de novo synthesis of deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs) from ribonucleotides (NTPs), using radical chemistry. It is under strict allosteric regulation, partly from the dNTPs it synthesises that regulate what substrate should be synthesised, but also from dATP/ATP, which regulates overall activity. It is a protein that is found in almost every living org

Nuvarande reglering av säkerhet i lös egendom i Sverige bygger, med undantag för några lagstiftningsåtgärder, på rättspraxis och juridisk doktrin. Även om pantsättning är huvudmetoden för att ställa säkerhet, används i praktiken flera olika typer av säkerhetsrätter då lagstiftaren infört separata registersystem (t.ex. företagshypotek) och då äganderätt i praktiken ofta används som säkerhet (t.ex. Present Swedish law concerning security over movable assets is largely based on case law and legal literature, with some statutory intervention. Although the principal form of security is the possessory pledge, various security devices are used in practice, pursuant to legislative introductions of separate registration systems (e.g. floating charges) and the commercial use of ownership for securit

This study focused on expression, purification and functional characterization of three key proteins (Urc1p, Urc2p and Urc8p) in the newly discovered uracil catabolism (URC) pathway. A novel expression system was established by using Saccharomyces kluyveri as a host organism for expression of 6-His tagged Urc1p and Urc2p. Moreover, URC8 gene was cloned in pET151/D-TOPO vector and expressed in Esch

This thesis is about combining three archaeological themes; the interpretation of grave contexts, social identities and Iron Age jewellery has been given a place here. The aim was to discern which meanings and functions that can be connected to Migration Period bracteates in graves, and if so how they manifest in the context. Bracteates, small pendants dated to the Migration and Vendel periods, ha

Uppmärksamhetsbias har föreslagits vara involverat i både utveckling och vidmakthållande av tvångs- och ångestsyndrom. Befintlig forskning har emellertid genererat motsägelsefulla resultat och forskning avseende barn och ungdomar är begränsad, särskilt relaterat till tvångssyndrom. Vidare finns det ingen studie där uppmärksamhetsbias har undersökts i relation till Core Dimension Modellen (SummerfeBiased attentional processes have been implicated in the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders (ADs) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, existing research has yielded inconsistent results and there is limited research with samples of children and adolescents, especially in relation to OCD. Further, there is no study examining attentional bias connected to the Core Dimensio

Den genomförda studien ämnade att besvara två olika frågeställningar: påverkar door-in-the-face-tekniken villigheten att acceptera ett monetärt bud i ett ultimatumspelscenario bestående av två steg, där deltagarna först blev presenterade med ett lägre bud följt av ett högre bud och finns det något personlighetsdrag inom femfaktormodellen som är relaterat till en större benägenhet att acceptera budThe study conducted aimed to answer two different question statements: does the door-in-the-face technique influence willingness to accept a monetary offer in a ultimatum game scenario consisting of two steps, where participants were first presented with a lower bid followed by a higher bid and is there any personality trait within the five-factor model of personality related to a greater tendency

Home fires are the most prevalent and preventable disaster in the United States. It is notoriously difficult to teach disaster preparedness skills to adults. But, when their children are taught this material, households are more likely to make changes. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the impact of the American Red Cross’s “Prepare with Pedro!” youth disaster preparedness program on studen

Mänskliga röster bär på mycket information, och en av de fösta egenskaper vi registrerar är talarens kön. Är det möjligt att omvandla en röst så att lyssnaren ändrar uppfattning? Inom könsbekräftande vård av transpersoner ingår ibland talterapi för att uppnå en röst mer i linje med patientens könsidentitet. Där fokuserar behandlingen på att ändra de aspekter av rösten som associeras med kön: gruWhen we listen to human speech, one of the first characteristics we assess is the gender of the speaker. For individuals who suffer from gender dysphoria, this may cause them to be negatively impacted by their voice not matching their gender identity. Therefore, some persons attempt to change their voices with a speech-language therapist. Differences between the average female and male voice have

This thesis aims to further investigate the viability of using reinforcement learning, specifically Q-learning, to schedule shared resources on the Ericsson Many-Core Architecture (EMCA). This was first explored by Patrik Trulsson in his master thesis Dynamic Scheduling of Shared Resources using Reinforcement Learning (2021). The shared resources complete jobs assigned to them, and the jobs have d

The focus of this study is to explore the relationship between learning and development practices and early-stage employee retention within Capgemini’s Nordic department and, more in general, within the consulting business. Qualitative and partly quantitative research methods were employed, starting from a theoretical review of existing knowledge on the matter, to a survey and interviews. Data wer

Flyktingar löper signifikant högre risk för att utveckla psykisk ohälsa, däribland posttraumatiskt stressyndrom (PTSD). Det finns en stor evidensbas som visar att traumafokuserade psykologiska behandlingar för PTSD är effektiva. Majoriteten av denna forskning inkluderar dock inte flyktingar, vilket innebär att mindre är känt om responsen för behandling av PTSD hos flyktingar. Den aktuella översiktRefugees are at significantly increased risk of mental health difficulties, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). There is a large evidence base showing that trauma-focused psychological treatments for PTSD are effective. However, the majority of trials do not include refugees and less is known about response to PTSD treatments in refugees. The present scoping review explores the curren
