Creating music have always been a hard thing to do, as time have passed there have been much research done on the topic of creating high quality music. New approaches and theories are appearing on how to generate music, the latest one (as writing this paper) is based on deep neural networks. In this paper Nottinghams abc notation database will be the main training set used as training data for the

When adopting the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), in 2000, the United Nations General Assembly recognised the importance of good governance in reaching them. This study examines the hypothesis that good governance has an impact on the achievement of the MDGs. It does so by conducting regression analysis on the impact of good governance on the MDG indicators for water and sanitation. The

Fenomenet Virtual Reality (VR) har dom senaste åren uppmärksammats av de flesta teknikintresserade världen över. Tekniken möjliggör bland annat visualisering och interaktion med miljöer och som i verkligheten skulle bli för kostsamma att återskapa. Samtidigt så står bankernas sätt att presentera finansiell information förhållandevis stilla och utgörs fortfarande av listor och 2D-grafer. I studien In recent years, the phenomenon of Virtual Reality has been highlighted by most technology-interested persons around the world. The technology allows visualization and interaction with environments, which in real life would be too costly to recreate. At the same time, the banking sector’s ways of presenting financial information are relatively old fashioned and still consist of lists and 2D graphs

Utifrån ett teoretiskt ramverk baserat på tre delar skapades ett frågeformulär som användes för att samla in kvalitativ data från fem olika svenska företag. Den kvalitativa datan analyserades och därefter gjordes en komparativ analys för att studera de mönster som kunde urskiljas utifrån företagens karaktär. De tre teoretiska delarna baserades på ledarskapsfilosofi, HR-metoder och generationers vä

Räddningstjänsten genomför regelbundet förmågebedömning i syfte att möta olika samhällsstörningar. I lagen (2003:778) om skydd mot olyckor (LSO) 1 kap. 3 § fastställs att ”räddningstjänsten skall planeras och organiseras så att räddningsinsatserna kan påbörjas inom godtagbar tid och genomföras på ett effektivt sätt”. Förmågebedömning bör därför genomföras både vid en räddningsinsats, men också vid

This master thesis has shown multiple uses of the Anoto dot pattern and Anoto pen for different applications. One application is the calibration of the robot tool and work object. Another is the use of an Anoto pen and paper as replacement of the ABB Flexpendant to create a lightweight and intuitive control device to control an industrial robot, experimentally demonstrated for the IRB140 robot arm

Svälter Kaliforniens humlor? Bin är viktiga pollinatörer, de hjälper växter att föröka sig inom både jordbruket och i naturen. Tyvärr minskar många bipopulationer i storlek, vilket kan innebära ett hot för matproduktion och naturliv. Jag vill med mitt arbete undersöka om en vanlig Kalifornisk humla är begränsad av tillgången på blommor som finns i landskapet kring deras kolonier, eftersom blommorGlobal pollinator populations are declining. One of the causes is land use change, which results in reduced flower resources in the landscape. Bumblebees have small stores of nectar and pollen and are therefore vulnerable to loss of flower resources. I test if forbs plantings, which enhance forage resources, can support colony development and reproductive success of bumblebee colonies in Californi

This master’s thesis analyses the extent to which EU member states and EU bodies have responded coherently towards China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The master’s thesis uses a mixed method approach: it begins with a comparative study of the Dutch, German, Czech and Hungarian policy responses towards the BRI. These are: an analysis of the national policy stance, the foreign policy stance and an ana

Längs Kaledonidernas östra erosionsfront finns den världskända bly- och zinkfyndigheten vid Laisvall (totalt 64 miljoner ton bruten malm) och mineraliseringen vid Granberget samt flertalet mindre malmkroppar av impregnationstyp bestående av blyglans och zinkblände som kristalliserat i klastiska bergarter. I äldre litteratur har mineraliseringsprocesserna och tidsspannet för mineralisationen diskutThe eastern Caledonian erosional front hosts the world-class Pb-Zn deposit at Laisvall (64 Mt mined) and Granberget mineralization, northern Sweden, along with several other smaller, related types of deposits consisting of impregnation mineralization of galena and sphalerite in clastic host rocks. Previous work have discussed the nature of the ore-forming processes and constraints for the timing o

För varje detaljplan som en svensk kommun behandlar skall en påverkansbedömning göras där planens miljöpåverkan undersöks. Om påverkan utifrån bedömningen antas vara betydande skall detta utredas vidare. Kommunerna får dock själva avgöra hur bedömningen genomförs, och kontrollen av bedömningen är svag. Studien undersöker vad detta lett till genom att granska vilka metoder som används idag, och vilThe environmental impact of each new detailed development plan must in some way be assessed in Sweden. If the impact is deemed be significant, this must be further investigated. However, the municipalities can determine themselves how the assessment is done, and the monitoring of the assessment is weak. The study examines the consequences of this by screening what methods are used for the assessme

Spatial data seamless exchange and interoperable usage has become a necessity in efficient data management and competitive positioning in the European Union. Conceptual and technical framework for the spatial data and services interoperability is specified within the EU INSPIRE Directive. The Directive provides flexible and modular structure, giving the opportunity for customisation of the data sp

I denna studie intervjuades sex AEDP-terapeuter med syfte att undersöka deras erfarenheter och upplevelser rörande dyadisk affektreglering. Intervjuerna analyserades enligt Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), vilket genererade två huvudteman och nio underteman. Analysen visade att dyaden upplevs som något substantiellt och påtagligt, samt visade på de olika sätt som terapeuterna jobbarSix interviews were conducted with AEDP-therapists with the purpose of examining their experiences concerning dyadic affect regulation. The transcripts were analyzed with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and two main themes and nine sub-themes emerged. The first main theme concerns the dyad as a substantial and palpable experience, how this influenced the therapeutic endeavor, and ob

Ukraine has the second highest rates of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Europe and struggles with the HIV epidemic since the 1990s. Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) are especially vulnerable due to their social position and biological characteristics. The HIV incidence is still on the rise, which is also fostered by the ongoing conflict in the East, although a great number of nati

This thesis analyzes the American engagement in the Vietnam war. This war is as controversial to this date, as it was then. It still draws a broad audience to the discussion of the reasoning for the interference of the American government in the conflict between north and south Vietnam. The thesis is made as an idea analysis where a political myth has been identified from ancient Greek examples an

Commonly, air pollution is treated by the European Union (EU) and its member states as a structural problem with technical, one-size-fit-all solutions. The EU has the ambition to follow the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals , Agenda 2030 , in which, for example, gender equality is highlighted. Yet, the legislation on toxic air does not explicitly mention how they aim to achieve social
