Detta arbete syftar till att skapa en bättre förståelse till orsakerna bakom PA-teknikers val av ljudnivå på en konsert, och varför dessa ljudnivåer är så pass höga som de är idag. Ett antal ljudtekniker har i rollen som PA-tekniker fått besvara några frågor om ljudnivån på konserter. Dessutom har ett flertal konsertbesökare fått svara på bl.a. om de tycker att ljudnivån på konserter brukar vara lagom eller för hög. De flesta ljudteknikerna och nästan två tredjedelar av konsertbesökarna tyckte att ljudnivån brukar vara för hög.

Den här uppsatsen behandlar en studie i hur man arrangerar för blåsinstrument inom popmusik. Arbetet avser arrangemang till 3 låtar för blåsmusiker och kompmusiker samt inspelning av arrangemangen i studio. Arbetet har genomförts med musiker från Piteå musikhögskola samt genom intervjuer med svenska professionellt verksamma arrangörer.Arrangemangen och inspelningarna genomfördes på Musikhögskolan I Piteå under vintern 2013.Det jag har kommit fram till i detta arbete är att det viktigaste när man skriver blåsarrangemang är hur man komponerar arrangemangen. När man instrumenterar arrangemanget är det viktigt att ta hänsyn till vilken genre man arrangerar för samt vilken nivå musikerna som ska spela arrangemanget är på. Av dom inspelningstekniker som finns föredrar jag att hela blåssektionen spelar in tillsammans.

The web is a constantly growing medium that presumably plays an increasing role in public library reference services. In order to provide high quality reference service the librarians need to be able to master this medium. Therefore it is interesting to get an understanding of how librarians actually use the web. The aim of this Master s thesis is to investigate what web search tools are used by public librarians in reference service. Furthermore, the aim is to get an understanding of how the librarians think about those tools and what background factors influence their selection of tools.

The study focuses on the use of poetry in language teaching in the lower grades in the Swedish school. Poetry has a reputation of being an art form with such specific rules and structures that children and teachers think that it is something that they do not have the ability to work with.  The purpose of this study is to get an understanding of how poetry is used in educating children. My research is based on the following questions. To which extent is poetry being used in schools and how is it being used?Can you as a teacher see any effects on childrens language development by using poetry?As a part of my study I have met with and interviewed four different people, who in one way or another is involved in teaching children. Two working teachers in the lower grades, one pedagogical resource and one artist that work with teachers in reaching different goals through the help of aesthetic processes.

My curiosity concerning what pupils read and write during leisure time led me to gather information using a quantative method. The study's aim is to investigate which reading and writing habits they have during their time outside school. A comparison was done of pupils at school year level 3 and level 4 in two different schools with the intention of investigating the influence of social background on reading and writing habits. 137 pupils filled in survey forms and thereafter the MYSTAT statistic program was used to process the information. The results point towards that the pupils read story books both more often and for a longer time than any other type of literature and that they read them often or very seldom.

The purpose of the thesis was to analyse three action films; Collateral Damage from 2002; Clear and Present Danger from 1994; and Scarface from 1983, in order to see how Colombians are represented in these movies.The action genre comprises of different stereotypes where the hero and the villain are represented in conjunction to each other. The analysis is about the way the films content and form are used to uphold the representation of Colombians, but also the villain and the hero more generally.Critical Discourse Analysis was used, as main method, and the concepts of denotation and connotation guided the analysis. The main conclusion is that the three movies reproduced an already established collective stereotype of Latin Americans, stereotype that includes both Colombia and Colombians..

Culture is seen as an abstract phenomenon, not easily defined. It is cathegorized as something that affects every person, though it is seldom described how. This study adress how culture, in the form of basic assumptions and accepted behaviors and ways to think affected how young coaches formed their leadership under the influence of their organization. The possible implications for the importance of knowing about ones culture in an organization affect both the recruitment process in organizations and what the organization stands for and what is conveyed through values and ways to act in the organization. The purpose of this study was, through the use of semi-structured interviews with young coaches and organizational leaders and a review of policys, to get the perspective and experiences of young coaches regarding cultural influence on their leadership.

Utgångspunkten för denna uppsats var att analysera gestaltningen av invandrare och utom-svensk kultur i svensk ungdomsfilm med syftet att uppmärksamma en eventuell bristande mångfald. Tillsammans med teorierna postkolonial teori och sociologi har sex utvalda filmer inom mellan åren 2006-2012 analyserats med problemställningar som ska lyfta fram den tänkbara frånvaron. Anledningen till problematiseringen av svensk ungdomsfilm kommer från kännedomen att ungdomsfilmens målgrupp är lättpåverkad och därför anser jag att denna genre har ett större ansvar när det gäller förmedling av ideologier och människosyn. Det samlade undersökningsmaterialet tyder på en omfattande avsaknad av icke-svensk etnicitet i filmer med svenska huvudkaraktärer, samt att de filmer som innefattar andra kulturer ofta skapar en intrig kring huvudkaraktärens etnicitet.  .

A study where the central questions was to explore how the informants' living conditions and identity are affected by being unemployed. The other issues aimed at how informants background affected their ability to enter the labour market, and the job expectations the informants had about the future and the Swedish labour market. Empirin have been analyzed with regard to methodology tool based theory, as well as theoretical starting points, such as social capital, formal and informal channels, ethnicity and stigma theory.

Föreliggande studie undersöker i vad mån elever på sfi:ns nivå d kan identifiera vilket syfte ett par texter har. Dessa texter är exempel på fem vanliga texttyper i svensk offentlighet (horoskop, tidningsnotis, information från myndighet, lagtext och insändare). Undersökningen har fyra olika teoretiska perspektiv som teoretisk ram: forskning om ordförråd; läsförståelse och literacy; stil och genre samt sfi-praktiken som en normerande institution i svenskt samhälle. De tre senare av dessa perspektiv knyts samman av synen på genrer som att de riktar sig till en diskursgemenskap som förstår dem.Resultatet av min undersökning är att deltagare som har ett modersmål som talas i Europa har en kraftig fördel framför utomeuropeiska deltagare, som har svårt att identifiera texterna, oavsett skolbakgrund. Den främsta svårighet deltagarna anger är ordförråd, men resultatet antyder att graden av genresocialisation också är en viktig förklaring..

This paper describes the evolutionary development of an information system for a small company. The company performs overhaul of forklifts and cleaning machines. The company has already an information system that handles the reports from these overhauls but it needs a supplementary tool that assist the chief planner to plan forthcoming overhauls.It should be able to display coming overhauls in a timetable and eventually print them, either to a PDF file or to a document. The timetables this function produces will help the chief planner and the assemblers to get a good overview of their day-to-day work.The tool needs to be intelligent in that way that it takes into consideration were in the country different assignments will be performed. So that time consuming travels over great distances can be avoided.

Under hösten har vi iscensatt ett kulturprojekt där en grupp elever i en klass fem skickat fotografier till olika kulturutövare. Fotografierna som eleverna själva tagit med engångskameror speglade teman som representerar olika delar i ett barns liv. Kulturutövarna och eleverna som inte träffades under arbetet hade knapp kännedom av varandra. Eleverna visste att mottagarna, som vi valt att kalla dem, är professionellt verksamma inom sin genre och mottagarna visste att fotografierna var tagna av elever i en femte klass. Kulturutövarna tolkade sedan bilderna, gestaltade dem inom sin genre och skickade tillbaka dem till eleverna.
