Studien visar vad några lärarna och rektorerna på tre utvalda skolor har för inställning till musik i skolan och vilka möjligheter de ser med musik. De teoretiska utgångspunkterna beskriver författares olika syn på vad musikalitet är, vilken roll läraren har i musiken, vad som påverkar musik i skolan och vilken inverkan musiken har på hjärnan. Intervjuer har genomförts med en rektor, en musiklärare och en klasslärare på tre utvalda skolor. Resultatet visar att alla de intervjuade är positivt inställda till musik och ser den som en viktig del i skolan men endast en skola använder musiken som en självklar integrerad del i skolans verksamhet. De intervjuade ser tid, resurser och kunskap som viktiga faktorer som påverkar hur skolorna kan arbeta med musik som en integrerad del i verksamheten..

The work was characterized by an active search for contrasts andcontradictions.My approach to the project was to work with a child?s curiosity, but withthe discipline of an adult.

Aniara is a versified epos written by Harry Martinson in 1956. The story is about a large group of people who are being evacuated from earth to Mars because the earth is radiated. However something goes wrong. They fall out of course and end up on a never ending journey in space.This essay examines the relations between the eposAniara and Lars Rudolfssons dramatization for Stockholm City Theater, played during the fall/winter of 2010. Through performativity and narrative theories I analyze narrations and characterization in the text and in the play.

And how can hospitality- and tourismorganisations adapt their communication to fit into the logic ofsocial media?To conclude how organisations within the hospitality- and tourismindustry can benefit from the use of social media, I haveinterviewed representatives from a number of organisations andstudied their communication.

This essay examines the debate that arose in connection to the sale of Carl Larsson?s monumental painting Midvinterblot in 1987. My main purpose is to examine which meanings the debaters ascribed Midvinterblot and in which way the debate influenced the paintings significance as cultural heritage. I will therefore argue that the debate initiated a renegotitation of the paintings meaning as cultural heritage. In the debate the debaters emphasized the National Museum?s responsibility over cultural heritage, Midvinterblots aestethic, the paintings economic value and its national implications.

In many of the world's countries, there is a national organization responsible for marketingthat country as a tourist destination. Through their offices, these organizations work towardsthe creation of effective strategies and a deeper understanding of local markets. Usingqualitative methods such as interviews, observations, and thematic analysis, we managed toinvestigate how the Czech and the German national tourist offices operate, and whatstrategies they are implementing to increase the volume of tourism. The study focused on theanalysis and comparison of the organizations' goals and communication channels.The results show that the investigated tourist boards operate in a similar manner with smalldifferences concerning choice of strategies and communication channels. These discrepanciescan be partly explained by differences in the organization's ownership forms and theconsequences that follow that fact.

As the speed and complexity of computers have increased so have software and the expectations of users. Software development follows a straightforward evolution where complicated tasks are made easier by better tools; this repeats itself as those tasks in turn are automated.Software mechanics that were seen as revolutionary a decade ago are seen as obvious requirements that no multimedia application can be without.dotNet is the next step in line and makes it easier and faster to build software.This report focuses on the development of a multimedia platform developed in dotNet. It does this by developing the tools and framework from which a complete game can be built.A game is selected because it combines the most aspects of multimedia development, such as interaction, graphics, sound & music. The report goes further by describing why the game looks like it does as well as the mechanics of the game and the benefits of the dotNet platform..

Studien handlar om en destination i den svenska fjällvärlden som består av två närbelägna orter. Aktörerna är flera och av olika storlekar, destinationsmarknads-föringen har därigenom flera utmaningar att hantera och beakta då värderingar och intressen är åtskilda. De två orterna är olika till karaktären och medan den ena orten utvecklas gör den andra orten inte det lika starkt. Orterna tillsammans sänder ut en rad olika budskap genom olika marknadsföringsinsatser som sammantaget inger en diffus bild av destinationen och de olika avsändarna.En destination som inte gemensamt samarbetar och koordinerar sina marknadsföringsinsatser sänder ut en diffus bild till både besökare och investerare. En destination som består av flera aktörer är i stort behov av såväl samarbete som konkurrens ? på ett positivt och inte destruktivt sätt.

We travel more to day than we have ever done before and there is an abundance of destinations to choose from. All -destinations have vantages and disadvantages and the things that are favourable for one traveller can be the opposite for another.

The thesis also investigates if there is a link between the traveller?s demography and their opinion of a destination.

This study is based on an inductive approach where the collected empirical data has been categorized in themes on which we have based the discussion in this paper. Using a qualitative method, nine appropriately selected respondents were questioned with an unstructured interview guide. The transition to a society characterized by interaction has caused a greater part for bilateral communication between consumer and consumer but also between consumer and company. The increased usage and integration on Internet has resulted in so called social media channels. User generated material is published on these media channels which leads to discussions about companies, products and services.
