Denna studie har haft för avsikt att få djupare kunskap om några musiklärares hantering av digitala verktyg men också för att se om generation, erfarenhet eller intresse har någon inverkan på detta. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer av fem lärare som tillsammans representerar tre årtionden har studien visat att det inte är någon större skillnad mellan åldersgrupperna. Hermeneutisk teori, musikdidaktik och ramfaktorteori är de teorier som använts i uppsatsen för att tolka och förstå den insamlade empirin. Intresse är det som varit av störst betydelse för att användandet utvecklas och förbättras, detta genom fortbildning som informanterna ofta själva står för. Skapandemoment och sångletande via Spotify och YouTube är i huvudsak det som digitala verktyg används till i klassrumssituationer.

This thesis is the result of the author?s interest in music and electronics, namely the design and manufacturing of a stereo sound system with an active crossover. In short it can be stated that an active crossover has many advantages over its traditional passive counterpart. The active design naturally results in a more complex system comprised of a multiple number of components. This report deals with the theoretical aspects of preamplifiers, crossovers and power amplifiers as well as power supply and control.

The use of streaming media such as Spotify has increased rapidly in recent years. Although the consumption side of Spotify is well established with over 10 million users, the medium might provide new unexploited opportunities as an advertising channel. The purpose of this thesis is to increase knowledge about advertising through streaming media and in particular via Spotify. To contribute to such knowledge we have conducted a case study to investigate how Spotify can be used and serve as an advertising medium for a smaller firm, Hasseludden Yasuragi, so that it may reach its target group. To examine the medial effect, a quantitative as well as a qualitative study was carried out using the ARF Model as a basic framework.

Noise is a growing health problem. People are not always aware of the injuries that noise can cause. The media culture of today has a big influence on teenagers. This is caused by portable music players, computers, concerts etc. The schools are having larg classes and that can cause a lot irrelevant speech during lessons.

The purpose of this thesis was to study the importance of an artist?s personal brand from a record company and artist management perspective.

Denna uppsats syftar till att få insikt i hur några högskolestuderande på klassisk gitarr och klassiskt piano som spelar solo upplever en konsertsituation. Huvudfrågorna har varit: Vad känner de? Har de några problem/svårigheter och i så fall hur beskriver de upplevelsen av detta? Detta har undersökts genom kvalitativa intervjuer med fem musikhögskolestudenter. Resultatet visar på att samtliga informanter upplever att de delvis påverkas negativt av nervositet i samband med en konsert. Nervositeten yttrar sig bland annat genom "fjärilar i magen", svettningar och negativa tankar innan konserten som handlar om att man inte är tillräckligt förberedd, att det kommer gå dåligt och att man skall spela fel.

The aim of this Master?s thesis is to investigate the library habits of young people, age 15 to 24. Our empirical data are gathered in a survey distributed to 104 young men and women at three different public libraries. The questions are about how young people use the public library, what media and services they use and whether or not they are content with what the public library can offer them. In our analysis we have compared our results to previous research and used a model by Marianne Andersson and Dorte Skot-Hansen to determine how they use the library.

Denna uppsats syftar till att redogöra för hur producentens roll i musikproduktioner har utvecklats i förhållande till ny teknik. Förhoppningsvis kan denna kunskap leda till en bättre förståelse om yrkets utveckling och hjälpa (aspirerande) producenter att utveckla och anpassa sitt kunskapsområde därefter. En undersökning i form av intervjuer med två producenter/ tekniker har genomförts för att besvara vad som enligt dem är producentens roll i musikproduktioner och hur teknikens utveckling har påverkat dem i sina roller. Uppsatsens teoretiska ramverk är inspirerad av det sociokulturella perspektivet som visar på hur vi lär oss av den sociala och kulturella omgivning vi lever i. Resultaten visar att producentens roll blir alltmer multifunktionell och att vara musikproducent idag kan innebära att man sköter om allt från teknik till komposition, för att bara nämna några ansvarsområden.

Background and problem: In the last few years the threat against the environment and especially the emissions of carbon dioxide has become increasingly debated. The government have set up a goal to lower the emissions of carbon dioxide with 40 percent until 2020 compared to the level in 1990. The emissions in the transportation sector have, in contrast to the total emissions, increased since 1990 and will continue to increase unless powerful control measures are implemented. The lorry centres have to use strategies to answer to these external threats which lead us to the two questions of this thesis: - What methods do the lorry centres use actively and which do they consider as the most important methods for fuel saving? - Are there any differences which methods small, medium and large centres considers as important? Purpose: The main purpose of this thesis is to examine which methods lorry centres use actively and which they consider as important for fuel saving.

The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to accomplish an understanding for how librarians purchase fiction literature in public libraries. To answer these questions, we have performed four qualitative interviews with librarians in three Swedish municipalities. We have also performed a smaller document study to give us an overview of the used guidelines at the selected libraries. The results of our survey have been analyzed on the basis of our revised version of Sanna Talja?s model The Interpretative Repertoires of the Music Library.

My aim of this investigation has been to study Delacroix relation to the Orient, based on a number of key questions:What was specific for Delacroix oriental works?How did his oriental painting change and mature over time?How was Delacroix relation to the oriental discourse?The paper is divided into three parts: the time before his trip to Morocco in 1832, the trip to Morocco and the period after Morocco.Although many have wanted to see Delacroix as a revolutionary, he worked the whole time within, and dialogue with, the classical tradition. In Delacroix quest for renewal of history painting, the oriental works play an important role. In the period before his trip to Morocco the literary sources dominated. He constructed his own Orient in his studio.It is clear that Delacroix did not stood outside the oriental discourse.

Syftet med min undersökning är att se hur lärare arbetar med ämnesintegrering genom att lyfta in etnisk musik i undervisningen. Jag har undersökt tre ämnen; musik, engelska och de samhällsorienterade ämnena. Vilka faktorer påverkar lärares användande av etnisk musik? Vilka vinster lärare kan göra genom att integrera etnisk musik i undervisningen? Jag har genomfört en kvalitativ studie med intervjuer som primärkälla. Svaren på intervjuerna har jag tolkat med hermeneutisk tolkningsmetod.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the employees´ duty of loyalty to their employer when making statements on social media networks and if this opposes the employees´ right to freedom of speech. Another purpose of this thesis is to investigate freedom of speech from an EU juridical point of view. Also a discussion concerning gender issues on this subject takes place is presented in the thesis. The questions to answer the purpose of this thesis are the following: Where is the line drawn for what an employee can publish on a social media network without breaching their duty of loyalty towards their employer?, and How does an employee´s freedom of speech relate to these types of statements on a social media network? The method used for this thesis is the classical legal method.The legal inquiry shows that duty of loyalty is a hidden clause in all employment contracts, and it must be respected by the employee.
