Detta arbete handlar om färdmedelsvalen som människor som verkar i Karlstads universitetsområde gör. Med anslutning till samhällsplaneringen har vi valt att göra detta utifrån tre olika livskategorier: ålder, kön och sysselsättning. Med underlag av bland annat Gottfridssons två avhandlingar, “Färdmedelsvalets komplexa förutsättningar: en studie av arbetspendling i småbarnshushåll med Kils kommun som exempel” och “Värmlänningar i rörelse”, samt Krantz avhandling “Rörlighetens mångfald och förändring: befolkningens dagliga resande i Sverige 1978 och 1996”, ska frågeställningen kunna besvaras, som lyder: “Vad påverkar valet av färdmedel hos studenter och anställda i Karlstads universitetsområde?”.   Denna studie genomfördes med hjälp av en kvantitativ metod. Genom enkätundersökningar på 150 respondenter så gjordes det möjligt för detta arbete att utföras. Denna studie visade att i princip alla respondenter hade olika kunskaper, värderingar, förutsättningar och tankar angående deras färdmedelsval till Karlstads universitetsområde. Respondenterna uppgav många olika faktorer som var avgörande för deras färdval, bland dessa fanns tid, familje benägenheter, vädret och tillgången till kollektivtrafiken.

By transcribing songs from the standard repertoire, and some selected jazz musicians' improvised solos over these songs, I have studied how transcribing affects my own artistic expression. Some of the musicians I have been inspired by are Barry Harris, Paul Chambers and Oscar Peterson. The songs I’ve chosen come from the standard jazz repertoire of the 1940's and 50's. The question in this work was whether it was possible to derive my own playing and improvising at my degree concert from the material I had studied during the course of this project.   The idea for this project came from my interest in transcribing as a method for developing my artistic expression as a jazz pianist. Furthermore, I had grown tired of using some commonly used sources of sheet music and chord progressions, such as the mobile application iReal or various fake books containing jazz standards, like the well known Real Book. The song sketches these contain can in some cases give a very misleading picture of the original versions of the songs.   First, I did a transcription of an early version of each song, to use as a reference point. Then, I transcribed solos by the selected musicians, as well as parts of my own solos recorded at both the very beginning of the project and at my degree concert. I then analyzed the transcriptions regarding phrasing, tone material and sound.   In the process of transcribing solos, I have tried to mimic the original recording as much as possible. Various tools were used, such as mobile applications, to make loops and change the tempo to help with transcribing.   By going back to transcribing early versions of jazz standards, I hope to have gained an increased understanding of the jazz genre that I love to play and listen to. Working with transcribing has also made me reflect on the piano from a historical perspective.   In this text, I discuss the challenge of staying neutral to the transcribed material during the degree concert. Did I play phrases because they were part of my vocabulary or because I remembered them from the transcriptions? I further discuss the issue of the time limit of the project, which made it difficult to assess the results of the work.   Transcribing my own solos has been very rewarding. It has helped me to concretize what I want to practice. For example, through transcribing I recognize how limited I am in certain keys compared to others.   In addition to some specific phrases, much of Barry Harris's overall playing has been integrated into my own, and he is also the musician who have had the greatest impact on my own style of playing, of the three I’ve studied for this project. / <p>Medverkande musiker:</p><p>Jonny Ek - Piano</p><p>Jonathan Leidecker - Trummor</p><p>Tomas Sjödell - Kontrabas</p><p>Repertoar:</p><p>A Weaver Of Dreams (John Elliot, Victor Young)</p><p>I Can't Give You Anything But Love (Jimmy McHugh, Dorothy Fields)</p><p>Almost Like Being In Love (Frederick Loewe, Alan Jay Lerner)</p><p>The Very Thought Of You (Ray Noble)</p><p>East Of The Sun (Brooks Bowman)</p><p>My Foolish Heart (Victor Young, Ned Washington)</p><p>I'll Remember April (Gene de Paul, Patricia Johnston, Don Raye)</p><p>Nobody Else But Me (Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein)</p><p>The Song Is You (Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein)</p><p>Georgia On My Mind (Hoagy Carmichael, Stuart Gorell)</p>

In this essay Tomas Sjödell describes the process of composing and arranging music using different instruments such as upright bass, piano, guitar and computer. He looks into how the different instruments will effect the compositions and how it will affect him as a bassplayer.   He describes the process of choosing musicians, studying influences, composing the music using the different instruments, rehearsing with the ensemble and what he had to work on as a bassplayer to be able to play the music.    Tomas conclusion of the project is that the different instruments did affect the compositions in small ways but his on voice as a composer was always there. He also describes his development as a composer and bassplayer and how he will work with similiar projects in the future. / <p>Kompositioner:</p><p>Take A Peek - Tomas Sjödell</p><p>Ellie - Tomas Sjödell</p><p>The Last Of Us - Tomas Sjödell</p><p>Day After Tomorrow - Tomas Sjödell</p><p>When The Sky Turns Grey- Tomas Sjödell</p><p>Musiker:</p><p>Tomas Sjödell - Kontrabas</p><p>Hannes N.

During this project Malte has explored composition and musical leadership within an ensemble as well as his own role as a bass player. He aimed to investigate how the addition of vocals to the ensemble would impact his bass playing and compositions.     The compositions were based on his main musical influences and he collaborated with the vocalist Joanné Nugas during the composition process. The method of composing each song is described in the middle of the essay.     After being rehearsed the compositions were performed at a concert at Kungliga Musikhögskolan. The concert was recorded which, after listening to, Malte reflects about the concert in the end. / <p>Musiker:</p><p>Malte Bergman Byström- elbas, synt</p><p>Joanné Nugas-sång</p><p>Axel Berntzon-trumpet</p><p>Lars Ullberg-trombon</p><p>Oskar Nilsson-gitarr</p><p>Mikael Wilhelmsson-klaviatur</p><p>Noa Svensson-trumset</p><p>Gabriel Dahl-kontrabas</p>

What am I seeing? What does it mean? This thesis addresses the transformations in cultural life in the 21st century due to the cultural dominance of the image, which resulted from the radical change and enormous progress in the media, communication and the development of information systems in the world. All this has led to changes in the intellectual structure, and an increased tendency to drift in all areas, and the emergence of a society and a culture governed by the culture of shock. The fundamental issue concerning the image is an epistemological issue, as we cannot distinguish between the visual image and the semantic product. We live in a world surrounded with stunning and spectacular visual images. We are overloaded with images from all types in our everyday life. We probably see images more than we read words. This thesis provides an analytical framework for understanding how images produce meanings using the semiotic approach. Semiotics is the most important approach that can be used to analyze all types of images. Semiotic analysis addresses images as signs which communicate meaning. The symbols used in signs are often culturally specific. This thesis indicates the focus of the receiver to adapt to this visual cultural situation, to be able to grasp the content of the new cultural discourse as it is present in all the details of the receiver’s daily life. There have been a number of questions that pushed me to accomplish this research, including: what are the elements of the culture of the image? What is its impact on the mental perception and production of semantic meaning? What is its reflection on the nature of social networking in general? The thesis discussed all of these issues.

This thesis examines the history of Black representation on British television from 1936 to the present day. Through archival research, it traces Black people's involvement in British television, both on and off screen. The study involves a detailed review of various debates around the history and future of race and representation on television. It also focuses on various issues related to British race relations, the structure of British broadcasting, television policy and the ideological and social construction of 'race'. Although the project is a historical survey with a social and cultural emphasis, it also considers the future of television images of Blackness within the context of deregulation, globalisation and the move towards a federal Europe. As such, the thesis brings us up to date and intersects with aspects of sociology, cultural and media studies and studies of race and ethnicity. The project draws, in part, on a number of original interviews conducted by the author with key Black people involved in the British television industry (actors, commissioning editors, producers, academics, film-makers). It also provides a number of detailed case studies of selected television programmes. The genres discussed include documentary, news, comedy, sport, variety, drama and film. The central thesis suggests that the portrayal of Black people on-screen has been marginalised and confined to a narrow repertoire of (stereo)types underpinned by popular assumptions of what 'Blackness' or 'Black-Britishness' constitute. It argues that the programmes in which Black people have appeared, have signified key moments in the 'racialisation' of British society; moments when the presence of 'race' itself has been realised. But it also argues that, far from being passive to these exclusionary and limiting processes, Black people in Britain have actively mounted a series of individual and collective strategic interventions in order to tackle institutional discrimination and gain media representation, employment and access. The project has been supervised by Professor Stuart Hall (formerly of the Open University's Sociology department) and June Givanni (former Head of the African-Caribbean Unit at the British Film Institute). It draws on, and is an extension of, earlier research conducted as part of the British Film Institute's 'Black and White in Colour' Project in 1992.
