Författare: Malin Pettersson & Emma SundåkerTitel: ?Typiskt manlig? Då tänker jag på fotbollsspelare som sjunger nationalsången?: En studie om fyra manliga sångares berättelser om sång, självkänsla och maskulinitetTitle in English: ?Typically masculine? Then my thoughts go to football players singing the national anthem?: A study about four male singers and their stories about singing, selfesteem and masculinityBåde för män och kvinnor är det problematiskt att inkräkta på ett fält som domineras av det andra könet. Populärmusikforskning med genusperspektiv har ofta fokuserat på kvinnor som befinner sig i maskulina praktiker, vilket därmed gör oss nyfikna på det motsatta. Att som ung kille våga erkänna att man tycker om att sjunga kräver mod samt självkänsla och självförtroende eftersom han trotsar de traditionella könsrollerna. Vi vill undersöka hur de män som har sång som primärt instrument förhåller sig till att deras instrument kan associeras till femininitet.Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur manliga sångare beskriver sin röst och röstutveckling, samt hur de hanterar att de verkar inom en feminin praktik.Uppsatsen bygger på fyra manliga sångares skrivna levnadsberättelser och är skriven ur ett genusperspektiv med fokus på maskulinitet inom populärmusiken.

The aim of this study was to explore how young students can be taught during their first year of learning English towards the A1 level according to The European Framework of Reference for Languages, and how the students understand their own learning. The study was carried out in two different classes but with the same teacher, who is qualified to teach English to young learners. The result is based on the analysis of a total of twelve observations of English lessons in two classes in school year one and eight group interviews with the students. Recurrent ingredients through all lessons were activities such as listening to teacher talk, watching films or film clips, singing songs and doing rhymes, using drama activities, talking about the meaning of learning English, practicing guessing competence and learning new vocabulary. The teacher consistently talked about and taught different strategies for language learning.

Detta är en fallstudie som handlar om arbetet med en sångelev som påstod sig inte kunna sjunga. Eleven hade byggt upp stora mentala hinder kring sin sångförmåga, och studien tar upp dessa hinder samt de processer som utlöstes vid försöken att komma runt dem.Syftet med studien är att undersöka tankegångarna kring undervisningen av eleven samt de övningar som användes. Studien belyser också de processer eleven och läraren gick igenom samt diskuterar deras betydelse och innebörd.Studien bygger på lärarens anteckningar från 30 lektionstillfällen, utspridda på ca två år, samt lärarens och elevens reflektioner efteråt.Resultatet visar några av de processer som bildades under arbetets gång, samt att eleven kunde klara av mer än hon trott var möjligt genom att utveckla rätt inställning och ha tillgång till bra verktyg..

Research on psychosocial health in social work isn't developed enough. Instead, there's much more research on psychosocial unhealth. What about social workers, the unhealth is often related to the situation at work and the work environment.The aim of this study was to "during interviews understand the factors which social workers experience as important to maintain their own psychosocial health in the life situations". With hermeneutic method the particular interest was directed on how the participants experienced and explained their psychosocial health on the basis of their life situations, and the results was analyzed with Antonovsky's (1991/2005) perspective directed on health and Sense of Coherence (SOC). In the study, we used a qualitative form of interviews which allowed our participants to answer with their own words and from how they interpreted the questions.

In this report I will describe how an art-directed fluid effect for motion picture can be achieved. This effect will be an explosion with a visual style that is congruent with Pixar's movie Up. To begin with I will analyze the visual components that are used in Up and control the fluid simulation to get the desired visual style. I will briefly explain the background of my thesis, why it is interesting to create designed effects and why it is hard to design fluid effects. In the method I will explain my work process and some of the challenges that arises.

In recent years there has been a growing interest directed towards focusing on the importance of clear evidence for interventions in social work. To enable the measurement it?s necessary to develop concrete models with manuals on how social work should be designed. Evaluation of the benefits is made in relation to how well the method can detect evidence of clear measurable results. When measuring the result it?s of importance to emphasis on pre and post the situation, not the situation where social work takes place.
