This paper is about creating identity based on music making as a leisure activity. The questions asked are about how cultural practicing at leisure contributes to the creation of identity, how the roles and self-image is affected by the exercise, if everyone has the dream of making a living on their music still and if one can learn anything beyond the expected by his/hers leisure activity. The pap

This thesis purpose is to investigate to what extent gender equality norms have developed in Sweden over the last 40 years. In order to do this I will use Carol Bacchi’s method, ”What’s the problem represent to be”, and six questions that she has created within this method. These questions are applied on four different governmental propositions, that discuss the parental leave insurance and gender

Denna kandidatuppsats behandlar möjligheten Katalonien har att bli självständigt. Självständighetsförklaring strax efter valet den första oktober 2017 fick många människor att höja på ögonbrynen. Den Spanska staten förklarade valet olagligt. Spansk polisen blev ditskickade och försökte bryta upp valet. Agerandet var klandervärt, men inte oväntat. Reaktioner uppkom då flera Europeiska ledare inte fThis bachelor thesis addresses the possibility Catalonia has to become an independent state. The Catalan declaration of Independence came shortly after the election of October 1, 2017, the reactions to the results differed in the world. The Spanish state declared the election illegal. The Spanish police tried to stop the election. The action was reprehensible, but not unexpected. Reactions awoke w

This text attempts to describe and analyze the haptic relations between non-official, i.e. independent, cinema and market-led urbanization in contemporary China. From the theoretical context of recent scholarship on Visual Culture and film history, it's argued that motion pictures and the Visual are in fact crucial to modernization. Using the theories of Henri Lefebvre and Michel de Certeau th

In 1992, the European Union began institutionalizing the cooperation against terrorism within the EU structure. Since then, this cooperation has gone through a number of changes. From a historical institutionalistic point of departure we explain these changes by identifying sources of institutional resilience and institutional change. Based on these results, we were able to pose hypotheses of when

The Sound Environment Center at Lund university is an interdisciplinary center created to coordinate research on sound and soundscape issues and is known to be the first of its kind worldwide. Ranging from acoustics to medicine, psychology, and cognitive sciences, as well as humanities like musicology and linguistics, soundscape research adresses many interdependent areas and touches upon health a

Over the past twenty years, the metal detector has received considerable attention, both from archaeologists, private persons and media, among other things because of problems with crimes related to archaeological heritage. Archaeologists have long pursued a hot debate on the regulations that are in force in Sweden concerning the use of the metal detectors. Comparisons with Danish regulations - wh

The notions of civil society and participatory development have been increasingly incorporated in the contemporary development agenda. Increased citizenry participation is viewed to enhance individuals’ abilities to influence decision-making. The international development agencies reason that a shared ownership is the path towards sustainable development. However, the promised impact of increasing

Abstract To consider judicial institutions free from any form of political capability is to ignore theories such as judicialization which have described the process and/or ability to secure political needs through judicial procedures. Judicial institutions can thus be regarded as having both judicial and political power. This power can be described through the concept of discipline, which entail

In recent years a lot of criticism against the main assumptions of economic modeling has come to up, this has led to physicists entering the field of economics. By applying models originally developed for physics to economics, especially finance, analyzing methods with a different approach can be used. Inspired by earthquakes Didier Sornette created a model that analyze financial market crashes. W

Resarch shows the importance of sound environment in health care for healing processses to be effective. Intensive care environments are often caracterized by heavy work load for staff in combination with underdimensioned localities, personel and economy. Results are stress and tension that also affects the well being and recovery for patients. To find yourself in an intensive care unit has more t

A fully automatic system for abdominal organ segmentation is presented. As a first step, an organ localization is obtained via a robust and efficient feature registration method where the center of the organ is estimated together with a region of interest surrounding the center. Then, a convolutional neural network performing voxelwise classification is applied. Two convolutional neural networks o

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was introduced 5 decades ago in 1968. Since then ERCP has redefined treatment of pancreatic and biliary tract diseases. The modern duodenoscopy was invented in 1970. Initially, ERCP was mainly used for diagnostic purposes. Sphincterotomy was introduced 1974, which made surgery obsolete in the management of cholodocholitiasis. In 1980 were the f

For patients with end-stage heart failure, the use of mechanical circulatory support has increased in the last decade due to improved outcomes with durable left ventricular assist devices. The management of these complex patients requires coordinated care by a multidisciplinary team including cardiac electrophysiologists because atrial and ventricular arrhythmias are prevalent in this population.
