Under Föreningen Sveriges Körledares konvent i Jönköping oktober 2009 debatterades musikens och särskilt sångens ställning i skolan. I debatten framkom en stark oro för sångens framtid bland barn och unga. Körledaren behöver öka sin kunskap för att kunna argumentera bättre för sång och körsång som en grundläggande erfarenhet och rättighet, menade man. Ofta tvingas körledaren själv förklara för bes

This paper deals with the distinction between law and fact. In the article ‘The myth of the law-fact distinction’ (Allen and Pardo, 2003a), Ronald Allen and Michael Pardo argue that there is no ontological, epistemological or analytical distinction between law and fact. Instead, they claim that the distinction ought to be understood pragmatically, by considering whether the judge or jury is in the

I samband med tillkomsten av Körcentrum Syd 2007 gjordes en satsning på körforskning, bland annat ett forskningsprojekt där körledare intervjuades. Syftet var att undersöka och kartlägga praktiserande musikers syn på och behov av forskning och utvecklingsarbete. Resultaten har presenterats vid flera seminarier och i denna bok publiceras Karin Johanssons texter, som ett resultat av de genomförda in

A production system is often complex, involving several production steps with a material flow entering and exiting at different stages throughout the value stream. This article aims to present a method giving the aggregated cost of a product in a production system, were material and components entering the value stream carrying their own capital and handling costs. The article describes an empiric

Deniz Kirik was drawn to medicine by his desire to better understand the human brain, but he found that doctors in his native Turkey have little opportunity for research. Nonetheless, he has turned what first felt like a failed career choice into an advantage. Now a neuroscience professor at Lund University in Sweden and co-founder of a spinoff company, Kirik uses his medical background to develop

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a horrible and unrelenting neurodegenerative disorder with an uncertain etiology and pathophysiology. MSA is a unique proteinopathy in which alpha-synuclein (α-syn) accumulates preferentially in oligodendroglia rather than neurons. Glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) of α-syn are thought to elicit changes in oligodendrocyte function, such as reduced neurotrophic su

The right of access to court and the right to a fair trial are fundamental rights guaranteed in all democratic states. The basic ideas are that anyone is entitled to have a dispute heard by a court of law in a procedure that meets certain requirements, i.e., a fair trial, and that the State has a duty to make such judicial dispute-resolution procedures possible. One of the most fundamental legal p

Rationale, aims, and objectivesDrug‐related morbidity is common, which results in suffering for the patients and a high cost to society. SÄKLÄK2 is a multi‐professional intervention model aiming at improving drug safety in primary health care. The objective of this study was to elucidate the perceptions of the participants' regarding the efficiency of the intervention and the feasibility to introd

The Historical Varieties of Democracy dataset (Historical V-Dem) contains about 260 indicators, both factual and evaluative, describing various aspects of political regimes and state institutions. The dataset covers 91 polities globally – including most large, sovereign states, as well as some semi-sovereign entities and large colonies – from 1789 to 1920 for many cases. The majority of the indica

Measurements of the differential production of electrons from open-heavy-flavor hadrons with charm- and bottom-quark content in p+p collisions at s=200 GeV are presented. The measurements proceed through displaced-vertex analyses of electron tracks from the semileptonic decay of charm and bottom hadrons using the PHENIX silicon-vertex detector. The relative contribution of electrons from bottom de

A search for a pair of neutral, scalar bosons with each decaying into two W bosons is presented using 36.1 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. This search uses three production models: non-resonant and resonant Higgs boson pair production and resonant production of a pair of heavy scalar particles.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are not only essential during manufacturing operations. Also during the development phases of product and manufacturing system, where future performance of the operational order-to-delivery-process is set, KPIs are important to consider. This paper introduces "enabling indicators" that can be analyzed or assessed in early phases of product and manufacturing develo

EPA (entrustable professional activities) avser aktiviteter som ingår i en läkares dagliga arbete och som läkaren ska klara med en definierad grad av självständighet första dagen som legitimerad läkare.En modell för att träna och bedöma sådana aktiviteter kan säkerställa att studenter klarar av det faktiska arbete som ska utföras första dagen efter legitimation, och den tydliggör också progressionEntrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) define observable key tasks that a doctor should be able to do independently after having completed a certain level of education. Progression is facilitated by frequent assessments of the defined activities, with increased degree of independence. The observations should be supported by constructive feed-forward. EPA is currently used in several countries

This text provides a brief overview of the principles of enzymatic lipid conversion and some recent advances in the enzymatic conversion of glycerophospholipids and galactolipids. Lipases and phospholipases are used to exchange fatty acids or the polar group in the lipids. The reactions can be carried out either as hydrolysis-esterification sequences or as one-step transferase reactions. The scope
