Detta självständiga arbete i musikpedagogik undersöker elevers kollektiva kompositionsprocesser inom ramen för skolans musikundervisning. Undersökningen har skett med utgångspunkt i ett genomfört kompositionsprojekt med grupper av gymnasieelever vid ett musikestetiskt program i Sverige, vilket ägde rum i samband med den verksamhetsförlagda delen av 2022 års höst-termin vid Musikhögskolan i Malmö.This independent degree project in music pedagogy investigates students collective processes of composition as a part of their music-education in school. The investigation draws upon a composition project with groups of high school students at a Swedish aesthetical high school program, which was carried out in connection with the teaching placement in autumn term 2022 at Malmö Academy of Music. Th

In this report the motor side of a converter driven AC-locomotive is studied and modeled. The motor side consists of an asynchronous electrical engine, an indirect self controller, a voltage converter, a Pulse Width Modulator(PWM) and the train mechanics. The converter is supplied with voltage from a DC-link. The link is connected to a line converter which transfers energy from the railway net to

The Asian Dragon is challenging the economic hegemony of the United States but at the same time depends on energy imports to sustain its economic growth. Most of China's Oil comes from the Middle East and Africa, and the supply passes through the Indian Ocean and the Malacca Strait, a critical choke point. Western literature has extended the idea of String of Pearls -denied by China-, consisti

Objective: Previous studies have revealed positive effects on subjective alertness, performance and general sleep patterns, with exposure to light conditions adapted to time of day according to the circadian system. This study aimed to investigate the impact of a dynamic LED light intervention on sleep quality of adolescent students. Methodology: Twenty eight seventh-grade subjects were recruited

We consider the most energetically favorable symmetry-allowed spin-singlet and spin-triplet superconducting pairing symmetries in twisted bilayer graphene at the magic angle, whose normal state physics is described by a six-band effective tight-binding model. We compute the Chern number as a function of the superconducting order parameter strength and the chemical potential and we find a topologic

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether malnutrition or nutrition impact symptoms (NIS) affect the possibility of returning to work after treatment for head and neck cancer. Methods: Patients of working age with head and neck cancer were followed up from treatment initiation to 3 months (n = 238), 1 year (n = 182), and 2 years (n = 130) after treatment completion. The observed decrease in

Within the framework of Construction Grammar, this study examines constructions with a cleft form containing everything, e.g., that’s everything that’s happened, in spoken British English, using the London-Lund Corpora and the British National Corpora. We trace the development of everything-clefts in recent history and make comparisons with all-clefts since both all and everything express totality

Two-view estimation is a fundamental problem in 3D computer vision, and an important sub-task of multi-view estimation pipelines such as Structure-from-Motion (SfM) and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). In recent years, the main focus in the field has been on keypoint-based methods, where interest points are first detected and matched across the two images, followed by robust estimatio

As the support for households which bring up an infant is increasing recently, there is a growing concerning about the consistency of such support with applicable support system and a greater interest in the change of demands for infant-rearing support policy for those households. Therefore, systemization is necessary to identify various supports for infant-rearing families quickly and to provide

Background: Nodal assessment in gallbladder cancer remains challenging, particularly in incidental gallbladder cancer. This understages the number of patients with node-positive disease, resulting in prognostic inaccuracy and insufficient adjuvant treatment. This study aimed to identify risk factors for positive nodes in gallbladder cancer and to compare prognostic discrimination of available noda

This thesis approaches the moral responsibility debate from the “victim’s perspective,” a perspective that is often neglected in the literature. My aim is to show that by taking the victim’s perspective, philosophical discussions can gain a more spherical if not, complete picture of responsibility practices. The thesis explores the implications of adopting or excluding certain perspectives in phil

Brake wear is known as the primary source of traffic-related non-exhaust particle generation. Its generation rate is influenced by parameters at different levels: subsystem (type of brakes, pads, materials, etc.), system (vehicles' dynamics, driving style etc.) and suprasystem (road geometries, traffic parameters, etc.). At the subsystem level, we proposed a neural network brake emission modeling,

Background: The number of people with cognitive impairment, including dementia, in the world is steadily increasing. Although the consumption of isoflavones and soy is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, it might also be associated with cognitive impairment. The low number of studies investigating the association between soy/isoflavone intake and cognitive function warrant ad

The growing season start and duration, along with other temperature-related measures of importance to premium wine grapes in Napa Valley, California have changed as climate over the western United States has warmed. The growing season start has varied from year to year with a standard deviation of about 3 weeks, but over the 1958–2016 record a linear fit to the time sequence shows it advanced by m

Distributed tracing plays a vital role in microservice infrastructure, and learning-based trace analysis has been utilized to detect anomalies within such systems. However, existing approaches for learning-based trace-based anomaly detection face certain limitations. Some assume that trace patterns can be learned solely from normal executions, while others depend on anomaly injection to generate l

While never a numerically significant religion, the idea of Satanism is intimately intertwined with a number of broader issues relevant for the study of religion and culture. The notion of devil-worshipping cults has been a surprisingly stable element of conspiracy theories, historically as well as in the present, and accusations of being in league with demonic forces is a recurring motif in relig

Pollinators are important drivers of floral trait evolution, yet plant populations are not always perfectly adapted to their pollinators. Such apparent maladaptation may result from conflicting selection through male and female sexual functions in hermaphrodites. We studied sex-specific mating patterns and phenotypic selection on floral traits in Aconitum gymnandrum. After genotyping 1786 offsprin

Optimizing sample quantity and quality improves cost-effective and less invasive dendrochronological investigations. Our study examined 3,831 trees, including 2,921 pine, 404 spruce, and 506 oak trees. Pine had a 79.2% success rate for dating, spruce 46.5%, and oak 67.8%. Success rates increased with more trees analysed, notably in the case of spruce. When 1–3 spruce trees were analysed, only 44%
