Om att hitta sin konstnärliga röst Denna text är den kommenterande delen av mitt examensarbete på Kandidatutbildningen i Symfoniorkesterinstrument violin vid Musikhögskolan i Malmö, Lunds Universitet. Genom att skapa mig en större förståelse kring teoretiska begrepp och koncept inom västerländsk konstmusik har jag som avsikt att se vad som påverkar formationen av min framtida konstnärliga röst. JaAbout finding ones artistic voice This is the commentary part of my Bachelor graduation project in violin at the Malmö Academy of Music - Lund University. By developing a greater understanding of fundamental concepts within Western art music, I intend to situate my work and further explore what influences the formation of my future artistic voice. Through such a theoretical review and by employing
I detta arbete utforskar jag hur jag går tillväga att med hjälp av musikteoretiska analyser skriva pastisch i en stil jag inte tidigare har studerat eller har någon djupare kännedom om. Målet har varit att komponera ett stycke i en specifik stil, i det här fallet en musettevals. Kompositionsprocessen i arbetet beskrivs och har sedan sammanfattats i form av en modell som utgör ett generellt tillvägIn this essay I explore how I, using music theoretical analyses, approach writing pastiche in a genre I have never studied before, nor have any deeper knowledge of. The aim has been to compose a piece in a specific genre, in this case a musette waltz. The composing process in the essay is described and has been summarized as a model forming a general approach which could be used when composing a p
Although deep learning has made advances in a plethora of fields, ranging from financial analysis to image classification, it has some shortcomings for cases of limited data and complex models. In these cases the networks tend to be overconfident in their prediction even when erroneous - something that exposes its applications to risk. One way to incorporate an uncertainty measure is to let the ne
The last decades of research in machine learning and deep learning have lead to enormous advancements in the field. One of the areas that stand to gain the most from this is the medical sector. However, the majority of deep learning models today rely on supervised learning and one considerable bottleneck in the sector's ability to adapt the technology is the need of large labeled datasets. Ins
The background for this master thesis project is a problem to describe performance of a small 150 kW organic Rankine cycle power plant. Climeon AB in Kista, has developed the unit, and the product is currently in use at different customers. The ”HP150” unit is made with a modular approach. It is a factory made box-shaped unit which is able to be installed at a variety of sites. The aim of this proj
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made, highly persistent and mobile compounds that have been extensively used in decades, for example as a fire repellent in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF). They have been detected in soil, surface water and groundwater, where they pose risks to human health through contamination of drinking water supplies and to ecosystems. In this case study, PFAS spread
The role of diversity for the stability of ecosystems is a field traditionally focused on species diversity, rather than diversity within species. This study concerns the latter by investigating the spatial and temporal synchrony and abundance trends within the metapopulation of anadromous sea trout (Salmo trutta) in Scania, Sweden, that are brought up in different nursey streams but share the sam
This thesis studies the pricing of overnight indexed swap (OIS) caps using a one-factor CIR++ short-rate model with piecewise constant volatility. The model combines a CIR process with a deterministic shift, allowing an exact fit to the initial zero-coupon term structure and thereby enabling the remaining CIR parameters to be calibrated to other market instruments. OIS caplets are priced using Lap
Studien ämnar undersöka hur konspirationsteorier konstrueras, omformas och upprätthålls genom interaktioner på onlineforumet Reddit med inriktning på diskursen kring Jeffrey Epstein. Vidare är syftet att undersöka hur konspirationsteorier interaktionellt utvecklas genom plattformens användare. Studien utgår från ett interaktionistiskt och kunskapssociologiskt perspektiv där konspirationsteorier fö
Medan autonom AI och AI-agenter inte är en ny idé är dess konsekvenser på längre sikt okända utifrån påverkan på företag och människors arbete. Trots framtidens inbyggda osäkerhet ökar trycket på företagsledare att redan idag besluta om AI-investeringar samtidigt som ledande narrativ inom ämnet ofta har en utopisk eller dystopisk lutning. Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur AI-agenter pre
Peptide therapeutics offer advantages in specificity and affinity, yet the potential propensity to self-associate and aggregate poses a challenge for the development of stable oral formulations. This master’s thesis evaluates the utility of the fluorescent dye Thioflavin T as a structural probe to monitor the aggregation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, specifically Liraglutide and Se
Brookfield viscometers are widely used in industrial quality control because they are simple and practical, but the viscosity values obtained are relative to the instrument, spindle, container geometry, and measurement procedure. In contrast, rotational rheometers such as the Anton Paar RheolabQC provide more defined rheological data under controlled shear conditions. This thesis developed and eva
Monitoring insect populations and diversity are important to assess ecosystem health. Traditional trapping and manual identification methods are slow and labor-intensive. Entomological lidar offers an automated alternative for monitoring insects in flight, but classifying species remains a challenge. Building empirical databases through catch-and-release methods is impractical due to the enormous
Betong är ett mycket vanligt förekommande byggmaterial som har flera styrkor, men också några svagheter. En av de väsentligaste svagheterna är de betydande koldioxidutsläpp som uppstår vid tillverkningen av det nödvändiga bindemedlet portlandcement. Att ersätta delar av portlandcementet med alternativa bindemedel är den mest effektiva och snabbaste insatsen för att minska betongens klimatpåverConcrete is one of the most widely used construction materials, offering several advantages but also presenting certain limitations. One of its most significant drawbacks is the substantial carbon dioxide emissions associated with the production of Portland cement, the essential binder in concrete. Replacing portions of Portland cement with alternative binders is considered the most effective
Diabetes, characterized by high blood glucose due to β-cell dysfunction, remains one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. A promising method for diabetes research is nanoelectroporation using nanostraws and nanopores, which enables controlled delivery of molecular cargo into β-cells for genetic and epigenetic manipulation. However, most studies rely on 2D β-cell cultures, which limits
Trots att jobbannonser ofta utgör det första intrycket av en organisation, används de sällan som ett strategiskt kommunikationsverktyg. Tidigare forskning har till största del fokuserat på kandidaters uppfattning kring organisationers attraktivitet, medan den här studien intar ett avsändarperspektiv och undersöker spänningen mellan organisationers strategiska employer branding och LinkedIns plattfAlthough job advertisements often provide the first impression of an organization, they are rarely treated as a strategic communication tool. Previous research has largely focused on the candidates’ perception of how attractive organizations are, while this study takes on a sender perspective and examines the tension between organizations’ strategic employer branding and LinkedIn’s platform logic
Studien undersökte sambandet mellan upplevt grupptryck i arbetsrelaterade sammanhang och arbetstagande studenters benägenhet att uttrycka avvikande åsikter. En kvantitativ tvärsnittsdesign tillämpades med en online-enkät som empirisk datainsamlingsmetod. Urvalet bestod av arbetstagande universitetsstudenter i Sverige, och datainsamlingen genererade 116 svar. Resultatet indikerade en positiv signifThe study explored peer pressure in an organizational context, and how it relates to the individual's tendency to express deviant opinions. The correlation was examined using a quantitative cross-sectional design, along with a digital survey to gather data. The sample consisted of employed university students in Sweden, and the survey generated 116 responses. The results implied a significant
The purpose of this thesis is to explore how digital transformation (DT) and its rapid development have affected corporations’ experience of horizontal organizational resistance to digital change. The study builds on qualitative semi-structured interviews and applies an abductive approach and a social constructionist perspective. The findings suggest horizontal resistance is prominently affecting
