Maternal Health requires a bioethical evaluation to thoroughly address and reduce the troubling statistics and events of pregnancy-related complications and maternal mortality. Maternal mortality affects African American women three to four times more than any other race, therefore presenting race as a factor. Types of experienced racism and the overall scientific pathway are explored in relation to the health of African-American women. Race-related stress and its association with adverse maternal health outcomes is an important issue to consider when evaluating the maternal health complications. In addition, addressing the result of unethical inequalities in the healthcare system in combination with other societal contributions is essential when trying to recognize its impact on the experience of pregnancy. This thesis explores the impact of racism on maternal outcomes and health of African-American mothers, beyond the commonly understood influences of other socio-economic factors.

Full textAbstract:
The starting point of this research study began with a broad and unwieldly question - what would Zimbabwe look like if colonisation didn’t happen? This question arose with regard to the launch of the Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act (IEEA) in 2007 and is focused of on building an understanding of notions of indigeneity in Zimbabwe through an inquiry of indigenousness and indigenisation. The methodological approach is designed as an interdisciplinary and experimental research inquiry that processes these debates and proposes an expansion of the probabilities of notions of indigeneity within the range of existing socio-political, economic and historical analyses of indigenousness and indigenisation in Zimbabwe. This exploration begins with a broad historical, anthropological and etymological survey of the term 'indigenous’ that is interwoven with a contextual account of Zimbabwe and its socio-political lifespan. The primary site of investigation is the independence-day ceremony that took place at the National Sports Stadium in Harare, Zimbabwe on the 18th of April 2017. This focus is motivated by two distinctive elements at this event - a banner that declares 'ZIMBABWE WILL NEVER BE A COLONY AGAIN’ and a fragment from the president’s speech that asserts, 'we can now call ourselves full masters of our destiny’ (Mugabe 2017). This event stands as a crucial node for the debates and questions this research aims to pose regarding notions of indigenisation, indigenousness and registers of indigeneity. Political and socio-economic analyses of this annual ritual tower above the lacuna of analysis of its performance logics. This performance-specific inquiry aims to contribute new meanings and complexity around the event. The information generated from this reading is further processed through the mechanisms of speculative research as a way to think beyond the dilemmas and paradoxes that emerge from the historical, anthropological and performance analyses of this event. The penultimate chapter of this dissertation suggests a conceptual rehearsal of the findings generated through an expanded understanding of queer theory. The final articulation of 2 this research investigation extends the experimental approach, presenting a set of visual, aural and sculptural elements as the conclusion. The dissertation offers alternate readings of notions of homogeneity and singularity. It is also constituted as a way to understand the probability of building new knowledges through lateral and rhizomic processes as a journey that gathers and synthesizes from across a number of disciplines. The contention of this thesis, then, is to suggest an expansion of the notion of indigeneity towards the possibility of polygeneity, a notion that aims to align with the conceptual constructs of cosmopolitanism (Appiah 2006, Kleingeld and Brown 2014), which engage arguments for expanded understandings of contemporary identity formation. Embodied in this suggestion of polygeneity lies the potential to revive notions of dynamism and creativity that have been dormant since the onset of European colonisation in Zimbabwe. In the wake of the 'new dawn’ in Zimbabwe, in this moment of growing debates for alternatives, the thesis finds its impulse in the imperative for radical and creative shifts in consciousness to activate new ideas, new readings, and new knowledges.

Architecture is the matter through which we domesticate the boundless spatial extent and embrace ourselves from the indefinite temporal progress of existence. Through architecture, not only do we mark our spatial boundaries, but we also indicate our temporal becoming and existence. However, historically, the temporality of space has only been studied through the lens of history and the temporality of the present moment and now-time is typically ignored in architectural studies. This thesis is an attempt to evoke the importance of temporality of space in architectural design process and is an effort to bridge the gap between spatial features and their neglected temporal aspects. The criteria for architectural design should not only be limited to spatial features; but also, should echo the temporality of spatial features in perceptual scales such as minutes and hours. Throughout this research, I initiate an interdisciplinary investigation of different models of temporality and temporal perception. I also run a series of pilot studies in which the perception of time is assessed in relation to non-geometric and geometric spatial features. I demonstrate the effects of lighting as a fundamental non-geometric spatial feature and shape as a basic geometric spatial feature on the temporality of space. The initial results suggest that brightness of light as a non-geometric spatial feature and shape of a room as a fundamental spatial feature alter the perception of time within a space and affect the duration judgment.

The actual research analyzes the translational relations from the movie Apocalypse Now (1979), from Francis Ford Coppola, with its sources, especially the novel The Heart of Darkness (2006), from Joseph Conrad and Dispatches (2005), from Michael Herr. The objective was to investigate how the cinematographic masterpiece was built from the intersemiotic translations of its sources. This research also analyzes the meanings developed by the masterpiece, pointing to convergent and dissonant points with its sources, verifying how the elements transposition (time, space, points of views, conflicts and characters) of literary and journalistic texts for the movie happen to be. The research justifies in the fact that the movie of Coppola does not translate in a sequence the novel narrative of Conrad and the other texts used for the movie industry, but to change concepts and ideas into moving images. Convencionally, this kind of criticism sees the adaptation tasks by certain kind of criteria like accuracy of the movie text in relation to the literary text. It needs to be understood how the translation process happens between sources and adaptation, respecting the specificities of each semiotic system, making the intersemiotic translation a method that can create a new masterpiece and not just a identity copy, from one to another. The movie Apocalypse Now creation process is also the object of this research and will be guided by the Genetics Criticism elements. Interpretations from authors who are considered references on the theme were considered, such as: Robert Stam, Julio Plaza, Sergei Eisenstein, Cecília Salles. In terms of method, scenes, parts and frames from Apocalypse Now were analyzed, starting by the surface thoughts, as Flusser teaches us, opposing to line thoughts, that can be found in literary texts. The movie production entry were also analyzed, like the documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (1991), with its coulisse, both realyzed by Eleanor Coppola, such as interviews with the diretor, screenwriter and the actors of the movie
A presente pesquisa analisa as relações tradutórias do filme Apocalypse Now (1979), de Francis Ford Coppola, com suas fontes, em especial o romance O Coração das Trevas (2006), de Joseph Conrad e Os Despachos do Front (2005), de Michael Herr. O objetivo foi investigar como se deu a construção da obra cinematográfica a partir da tradução intersemiótica dessas fontes. O trabalho também analisa os sentidos desenvolvidos pela obra cinematográfica, apontando pontos convergentes e divergentes com suas fontes, verificando como se dá a transposição dos elementos (o tempo, o espaço, o ponto de vista, o conflito e os personagens) dos textos literários e jornalísticos para o filme. A pesquisa se fundamenta no fato de o filme de Coppola não traduzir linearmente a narrativa do romance de Conrad e dos outros textos utilizados para o cinema, mas transformar conceitos e ideias em imagens em movimento. Convencionalmente, certa crítica entende os trabalhos de adaptação por meio de critérios como fidelidade do texto fílmico em relação ao texto literário. É preciso compreender como se dá o processo de tradução entre as fontes e a adaptação, respeitando a especificidade de cada sistema semiótico, no caso o literário e o fílmico, sendo o processo de tradução intersemiótica um método de se criar uma obra nova e não apenas uma reprodução de natureza identitária, de um meio no outro. O processo de criação do filme Apocalypse Now também é objeto da pesquisa e será norteado pelos fundamentos da Crítica Genética. Foram consideradas as interpretações de autores que são referência no tema, como: Robert Stam, Julio Plaza, Sergei Eisenstein, Cecília Salles, dentre outros. Metodologicamente, foram analisadas cenas, fragmentos e frames do filme Apocalypse Now à luz do pensamento em superfície, como ensina Flusser, em contraponto ao pensamento em linha, próprio dos textos literários. Também foram avaliadas as notas da produção do filme e o documentário Apocalypse de um Cineasta (1991), com os bastidores do longa, ambos realizados por Eleanor Coppola, bem como entrevistas com o diretor, o roteirista e os atores do filme

This paper explains at the intersection of Memory theory, Feminist Theory, Existential Psychology, Faith and Contemporary Art, I have found a way to embrace and integrate memories and experiences into my art and be a more fully integrated, emotionally healthy person living fully in the present moment. I articulate my exploration of the broad concept of memory and addressing unresolved negative memories in order to realize healthy change in forming my identity.
Through art and philosophical research I have found substantial corroboration, conceptually supporting my information supporting my Post Minimal art making process. I employ memory evoking materials through the use of repetitive acts and strict self-imposed rules throughout the art making process, communicating ne living in the present moment, embracing yet uninhibited by their past.

Full textAbstract:
Now and Forever is a thesis in two parts: a twelve-minute piece for orchestra and a text providing an analysis of the piece. The orchestra consists of two flutes (flute 2 doubling piccolo), two oboes, two clarinets in B-flat, two bassoons, four horns in F, two trumpets in C, two tenor trombones, one bass trombone, two percussion and strings. The work features the use of an original text as the underlying program, the use of golden section proportions as a principal organisational device, a rising semitone motive as the foundation for melodic, harmonic and registral development, and the intermittent appearance of micropolyphonic textures. In some passages, the harmonic series is the basis of pitch field development, notably in section VI, which consists of an orchestral evocation of the sounds of an aeolian harp.

Full textAbstract:
Money laundering is a non-violent crime, however when successfully executed it has a negative impact on society, as it tends to support other illicit activities, including terrorism. As was the case for other financial crimes, the internet opened the door for new tools that enable criminals to launder their illicit profits. One of these tools is cryptocurrency.This paper takes the form of a literature review, in order to find the most relevant and important work within the research topic, and to identify central issues associated with laundering money through cryptocurrencies. It aims to explain the crypto-laundering process, methods and features that make cryptocurrencies tempting to criminals when searching tools to launder their illicit profits.The findings of this literature review demonstrate that cryptocurrencies have more characteristics that appeal to launderers than deters them. The results also show the existence of different methods that are employed in crypto-laundering and how it mirrors traditional money laundering stages, making evident that crypto-laundering is a real threat. Due to these results, it is essential that the criminological community delve into financial crimes perpetrated in the online environment.

Allee, Jessica. "New Deal Art Now: Reframing the Artifacts of Diversity." OpenSIUC, 2014. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/theses/1536.
Full textAbstract:
New Deal Art Now offers a sampling of the breadth of the Works Progress Administration and Federal Art Projects (WPA/FAP), calling attention to the skills, histories, and social identities of an extraordinarily diverse spectrum of professional and amateur artists funded by the United States federal government during the Great Depression. The New Deal, a major economic stimulus initiative that ran from 1935-1943, included the Works Progress Administration Federal One Projects, encompassing fine art, music, theater, writing, and design. These projects provided economic support and cultural enrichment to hundreds of thousands of Americans, in the form of jobs, entertainment, and education in the arts. New Deal Art Now seeks to reframe a period of United States artistic production that is often narrowly cast in exhibitions and their related literature on the subject. The theme of diversity is explored through several critical lenses, such as questioning the relationship between art and artifact, considering that many creative works of the New Deal function as both. The majority of the exhibited artworks are juxtaposed against one another to challenge the designations that contemporary material culture traditionally assigns them. Showcasing 48 objects in total, the exhibits include painting, sculpture, educational models, archival film, and archival audio, which are juxtaposed alongside contemporary paintings, photography, and music, created in conjunction with this exhibition. By situating these works (as well as the very categories of amateur and professional, art and artifact, museum and archive, past and present) in productive relation to one another this exhibition argues for the significance of all of these works and artists to the diverse history of twentieth-century American art.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis deals with the use of absurdity in documentary cinema and its role in our understanding of the world. It defines the absurdity as an illusion of nonsense (or sense) which arises from removing various phenomena from their usual contexts and putting them together while forming a new, unusual context. These new contexts may not be entirely random and often have a specific function in a number of artistic works. By dissolving the illusion of the non/sense we can acquire a deeper insight into certain matters. But even if the illusion remains, the absurdity itself stimulates our imagination by questioning our patterns of perceiving the world. The author discusses various cases of absurdity that arise from ideologies, inventions, encounters of remote paradigms or contradictory information in the human mind and their use in documentary films, including his own works.

Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att undersöka de förändringar som uppstår vid införandet av en ny kursplan i ämnet samhällskunskap för grundskolans senare år då vi anser att en ny läroplan innebär förändringar. Förändringarnas innehåll ska också sätta avtryck i själva undervisningen i ämnet och därför vill vi med denna undersökning finna dessa förändringar och diskutera förändringarnas innehåll utifrån teorier om ungdomars lärande. För att få svar på våra frågeställningar har vi valt att studera de förmågor som krävs av eleverna utifrån den tidigare och den nya kursplanen i samhällskunskap och diskutera dessa. Med förmågor menar vi det som krävs av eleverna för att uppnå betyget godkänt i ämnet. Vi har valt att använda oss av är en komparativ undersökning med en kvalitativ metodisk inriktning, nämligen en textanalys då vi ansåg det vara mest lämpligt i relation till vår undersökning. En del av de slutsatser vi har kommit fram till är att den nya kursplanen Lgr11 kräver att eleven kan tillämpa samhällsvetenskapliga begrepp i större utsträckning än i den tidigare kursplanen Lpo94 samt att eleven kan tillämpa modeller i sina beskrivningar. Vidare så stärker Lgr11 en mer individuell identitetsutveckling.

Includes bibliographical references (pages ).
When learning to speak a language like Passamaquoddy, there are many grammatical patterns that one must be able to identify before a dialogue can be understood. In Passamaquoddy, it is extremely important to have a sense of context in the sentence. Exchanging an English word for a Passamaquoddy word would not be very productive in trying to understand the context. In Passamaquoddy, the verbs have an expected pattern to indicate who is talking to whom. Verb patterns can also indicate whom a speaker and a listener may be talking about. The first and most sought-after dialogues are usually how to greet one-another. In these basic lessons (kehkituwakonol), we start to learn common greetings and then wade into knowledge of how verbs can help in understanding Passamaquoddy sentences in different contexts. These kehkituwakonol are intended to illustrate some basic concepts that can help in beginning to speak Passamaquoddy now.

This arts-informed inquiry is grounded in the lived experiences of five self-proclaimed artists including the researcher, who have turned to careers in teaching at varying stages of their lives. The stories of their transitions and evolving identities as both artists and teachers provide the investigative focus for this study. Although this research is relevant to teachers more generally, it specifically focuses on those who have chosen to teach Visual Arts. Particularly suited to a postmodern, arts-informed inquiry, the diverse forms of knowing that create our everyday experiences are acknowledged. The researcher became the bricoleur who collaged the individual stories of the first year artist-teachers into an integrated work of art. This constructivist approach included the use of visual imagery to transcend linguistic description. Through artworks, photographs, a self-narrative and novelette, the multiple ways these early career Visual Arts teachers came to understand themselves and their journeys are explored. This study has the potential to inform novice teachers of the transitions they may experience as they enter the teaching profession.

Doctor of PhilosophyThis arts-informed inquiry is grounded in the lived experiences of five self-proclaimed artists including the researcher, who have turned to careers in teaching at varying stages of their lives. The stories of their transitions and evolving identities as both artists and teachers provide the investigative focus for this study. Although this research is relevant to teachers more generally, it specifically focuses on those who have chosen to teach Visual Arts. Particularly suited to a postmodern, arts-informed inquiry, the diverse forms of knowing that create our everyday experiences are acknowledged. The researcher became the bricoleur who collaged the individual stories of the first year artist-teachers into an integrated work of art. This constructivist approach included the use of visual imagery to transcend linguistic description. Through artworks, photographs, a self-narrative and novelette, the multiple ways these early career Visual Arts teachers came to understand themselves and their journeys are explored. This study has the potential to inform novice teachers of the transitions they may experience as they enter the teaching profession. Possible challenges, including the recognition that idealised beliefs might be traded in for more realistic representations, are discussed along with the notions of teaching as an art and the concept of resilience.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this case study was to examine the perceived benefits, economic and personal, attributable to the attainment of higher levels of education as sought by displaced employees from the Levi Strauss Johnson City, Tennessee plant that was closed in 1999. Data was collected through personal interviews, focus group meetings and a standardized questionnaire with a total of 18 participants. All of the participants had successfully completed an Associates degree program at Northeast State Community College. They ranged in ages from 33 to 60 and had worked at Levi Strauss’s between 7 and 27 years.
All of the meetings were tape-recorded and the contents of these tapes were transcribed and analyzed using Glaser and Strauss’s (1967) constant comparative method. The primary motivational factor that guided them in their pursuit of additional training and education was to provide them with the skills necessary to broaden their opportunities to secure work in an industry other than factory work. While exploring the ways in which they made their decisions as to what academic fields of study that they were going to pursue, shortcomings in career and academic advisement emerged. As new adult learners, discussions detailing their fears and apprehensions about returning to school evolved and suggestions were provided to ease this transition for other displaced workers who might choose to follow the path to higher education. The perceived benefits that evolved from their experience included: an elevated sense of self confidence and personal pride; improved relationships with parents and children based on a heightened level of respect; the confidence and ability to better direct and guide their children’s futures; an enlightened awareness of the world and their place in it; and new jobs from which they were confident that they could make a difference in the lives of others and find personal satisfaction in the activities that lead to a sense accomplishment.
Recommendations for future opportunities included industry and educational relationships to maximize employee opportunities upon displacement; educational enrollment recruitment opportunities designed specifically for displaced adult learners; and methods for increased advisement and counseling for displaced adult learners. Additional qualitative research was also recommended.

Full textAbstract:
In uno scenario sempre più digitalizzato e omnichannel, diventa fondamentale per le aziende sapersi adattare e modificare le proprie strategie per poter emergere e competere. Dopo una certa riluttanza iniziale, il settore del lusso inizia ad essere sempre più presente online, anche se è ancora netta la differenza tra chi lo considera uno dei tanti canali su cui predisporre l'offerta e chi invece sta affrontando con decisione gli investimenti per potenziare la propria rilevanza sulle piattaforme più innovative, specialmente per incontrare il favore dei Millennials. Per essere davvero competitive, le griffe devono adottare un approccio omnicanale, favorendo una forte integrazione tra i sistemi fisici e virtuali, con l’obiettivo di offrire una shopping experience completa. Il settore del fashion, caratterizzato da ritmi sempre più veloci e frenetici, porta le case di moda a ricercare modelli e operations che consentano una connessione continua lungo l’intera filiera e una maggiore reattività. È in questo scenario che nasce il “See now, by now”, che consiste nel ridurre progressivamente a zero i tempi che passano tra la sfilata e la vendita: questa immediatezza annulla il percorso che da decenni regola lo sviluppo del lusso. Nell’elaborato si riportano gli aspetti positivi e quelli negativi e si analizzano alcuni casi di griffe che hanno adottato il modello.

Gilbert, Juliet Caroline Maria. "'Destiny is not where you are now' : fashioning new Pentecostal subjectivities among young women in Calabar, Nigeria." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2014. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:a23ecc18-f145-4556-8500-72019b445c58.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines young women’s livelihoods in Calabar, southeastern Nigeria. It discusses how young women aim to realise their believed ‘destinies of greatness’, reconciling aspirations of fortune with present insecurities. Pinpointing a time when the city’s universities were on indefinite strikes, the discussions depict young women’s industriousness as they ‘wait’ amid uncertainty. The thesis focuses explicitly on young women’s engagement with Pentecostalism, the religion encouraging action, timeliness, and knowledge of the self and God. Understanding how young women fashion Pentecostal subjectivities attuned with ideals of urban success, the chapters focus on various ‘sites’ in their lives: church ministries, the home, sewing shops, beauty pageants. The thesis argues that young women believe they can realise future fortune by constantly partaking in acts of self-preparation. However, as action is driven by the competing forces of fear and faith, the acts young women believe will fashion subjectivities conducive to urban success are always gambles. Illuminating the emic concept of ‘destiny’ – a classic concept in West African Anthropology, denoting personhood and lifecourse (Fortes 1987) – the thesis builds upon recent analyses of how action underpins concepts of hope (Miyazaki 2004), doubt (Pelkmans 2013), and fortune (da Col 2012; Graeber 2012). Illuminating action and futures, the discussion contributes to recent analyses of time, productivity and youth (Honwana 2012; Jeffrey 2010; Masquelier 2013a). By examining the often-ignored category of young women, the thesis develops an understanding of ‘feminine cultures of waiting’. The discussion of how Pentecostal subjectivities are fashioned, which draws different ‘sites’ of young women’s lives together, also furthers analyses of African youth by countering salient narratives of youth in violence (e.g. Vigh 2006). Focusing on young women’s livelihoods, the thesis contributes to an Anthropology of (Pentecostal) Christianity by illustrating how religious rhetoric and practice are carried out and negotiated outside formal church institutions.

Thorgeirsdottir, Thora. ""Now you see them, now you don't" Impact of flexible work arrangements on intra-workgroup relations." Thesis, Cranfield University, 2013. http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/12489.
Full textAbstract:
Interest in flexible work arrangements has proliferated in the last years, fuelled by technological advancements that allow people to work from anywhere at any time. This systematic literature review explores the impact of flexibility in time and place of work on intra-group relations and subsequent effects on group-level outcomes. Findings suggest that flexibility in place of work has positive effects on employee-supervisor relationships but negative effects on co-worker relationships. Although teleworkers remain well connected to their co-workers and overall workgroup communication does not appear to change, informal socialisation processes are affected. Knowledge sharing and creation is subsequently challenged. Furthermore, managers of mixed workgroups face issues of fairness and justice as well as challenges of creating and maintaining group cohesion when some of their employees are not always present. However, little is known of how flexibility in time of work impacts intra-group relations and group outcomes from groups containing flexible workers have not been explored. This paper therefore identifies significant gaps in the literature and presents opportunities for further research.

The Book of the Dead-Project Bonn started in the early 1990s. Prof Ursula Rößler-Köhler, who had previously laid the foundation for modern Book of the Dead studies by her work on BD chapter 17 applying the method of textual criticism, achieved a 10-year funding from the German Research Society (DFG). In 2004 the project was granted another 9-year funding by the Academy of Sciences and Arts of North Rhine-Westphalia. One aim of the project was to gather all available evidence of Book of the Dead manuscripts spread across collections around the world. Today, the archive comprises approximately 3000 records of BD sources. In 2012 the corresponding database, after undergoing a transfer from FileMaker to XML format in collaboration with the department of e-Humanities at the University of Cologne, was launched and made publicly available online. The data sets include various different kinds of information about the objects and the sets of BD spells and vignettes found on them. These are now easily accessible for statistic analyses such as evaluations of neighbouring spells and sequences or occurrences in specific locations or time periods. Furthermore, the database includes several metadata such as bibliographical information, translations of spells and a motif index. It is cross connected with other Egyptological databases such as Trismegistos and the Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae. After the project was completed at the end of 2012, the online database has been operating for a considerable amount of time with scholars using it and trying the several opportunities it provides. Now is the time for a first evaluation to actually see which functions of the database work well, which might have been ignored by users and what information the database could provide scholars with for their actual research. Naturally, there is a need for a continuous maintenance and update on new findings and the latest research. Furthermore it is important to understand which possibly missing functions or information the users wish to be included and if this is actually realisable. On the other hand, there might be opportunities for analyses that have not been fully understood and therefore have not been made use of. This presentation aims to address some of these issues concerning the BD online database and to gather ideas and possible collaborators for future BD project plans.

Full textAbstract:
Skolans satsning på en-till-en undervisning har gjort att datorns plats i klassrummet har fått en allt mer självklar plats i klassrummet. I ett klassrum där varje elev sitter med en egen laptop eller surfplatta som tillhandahålls av skolan byggs en del problem automatiskt in. Förutom att nästintill varje elev sitter med en smartphone i fickan har de nu också ett lättillgängligt sätt att rikta sin uppmärksamhet på andra saker än lektionen eller sina uppgifter. Det finns en uppsjö av studier och rapporter som visar på att datorn i en-till-en undervisningen i många fall bidrar till att distrahera eleverna i klassrummet och det är något som både elever och lärare rapporterar om. Detta kan i många synvinklar ses som misslyckande i en-till-en satsningen, eller åtminstone ett ”kalibreringsproblem”. Lärarna som jag låtit svara på en enkät ger en bild av hur de ser på hur de ser på datorn som ett pedagogiskt hjälpmedel och vilken riktning de ser att utvecklingen med en-till-en undervisningen behöver ta. Skolan i undersökningen har kommit en lång bit på vägen i förändringsprocessen som en-till-en är för skolan, även om det fortfarande finns tekniska problem som påverkar skolarbetet på ett negativt sätt. Allmänt är dock attityden gentemot datorn som pedagogiskt redskap positiv samtidigt som det finns visioner om hur den i framtiden kan förbättras.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis comprises a score for symphonic wind ensemble and solo soprano, whole beauty now lies in memory (2012) and an analytic text. The analytic text's introduction provides insight into the topic of reorganization and musical borrowing, upon which the work is based. Subsequent chapters discussing the following parameters are included: pitch, rhythm, form, and orchestration. Further investigations into each chapter topic relate each back to the initial concept of reorganization, and discuss the composer's methodology.Cette thèse comprend une partition pour un ensemble à vent symphonique et une soprano, whole beauty now lies in memory (2012) ainsi qu'une analyse de cette ouvre. L'introduction de ce texte détaille les méthodes de la réorganisation et de l'emprunt musicaux, à partir desquelles cette œuvre a été composée. Les chapitres suivants discutent successivement des aspects de la tonalité, du rythme, de la forme et de l'orchestration. Chaque chapitre s'attache à montrer comment le concept de réorganisation est appliqué suivant l'aspect respectivement étudié et développe ainsi la méthodologie du compositeur.
