Introduktion: Brottslighet orsakar ett lidande för många individ Metod: Eer och en storekonomisk kostnad för det svenska samhället. Med anledning av detta är det av stor viktatt samhället har kunskaper om vad som bidrar till att minska kriminella gärningar ochåterfallskriminalitet. Ett steg kan vara att undersöka vad som är av betydelse för attmöjliggöra ett uppbrott från en kriminell livsstil. Syfte: Att undersöka vad personer medett kriminellt förflutet upplever har varit av avgörande betydelse för att bryta med enkriminell livsstil. Därtill var syftet också att undersöka vilka faktorer som upplevdesvara värdefulla för att kunna upprätthålla en icke-kriminell livsstil Metod: En kvalitativmetod användes vid genomförandet. Totalt genomfördes åtta intervjuer med personermellan 25 till 50 år. Intervjuerna genomfördes med hjälp av en intervjuguide avsemistrukturerad karaktär. Fyra intervjuer gjordes med deltagaren fysiskt närvarandeoch fyra via telefon. För analys av insamlad data användes en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: För uppbrott och upprätthållande ansågs det vara av avgörande betydelse attfå stöd och bli omhändertagen av sin omgivning samt att nå en vändpunkt, vilkenförändrade livets riktning. Den egna viljan till förändring, i samverkan med flertaletandra inre faktorer, visade sig vara värdefull för att kunna upprätthålla en icke-kriminelllivsstil. Därtill var det av stor vikt att få fortsatt stöd av sin omgivning samt att finnas ien fungerande livsmiljö, vilken på ett positivt sätt bidrog till upprätthållandet.Diskussion: Resultatet kopplas till tidigare forskning, teorin om sociala band samt ettperspektiv på upphörandet som en process. Diskussionen avslutas med förslag påfortsatt forskning. / <p>2016-06-01</p>

A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 2001 / Long distance running is characterised by a high injury rate (van Mechelen, 1995; Lysholm and Wiklander, 1987). It is an ever-growing sport, being tried by increasing numbers of people with varying degrees of athletic ability. Injuries are detrimental to training, increase the risk of sustaining another injury, and are expensive to treat placing demands on our already strained health care system. Runners are healthy people who would require less health care than most people if they could avoid injuries. Iliotibial band friction syndrome (ITBFS), is one of the most common running injuries experienced. Buttock and/or posterior thigh pain (BAOPTP) is another common condition, which is also resistant to treatment. It tends to become chronic and to result in ongoing morbidity. / IT2018

acase@tulane.edu / Marching bands and the professional music scene in New Orleans have historically been male-dominated. Even as more female students are beginning to join marching bands, far fewer women go on to pursue careers in music than men do after participating in high school marching bands. This thesis shows how marching bands in New Orleans encourage visual, sonic, and social performances of uniform, normative masculinity that can discourage the professionalization of female band members after high school. Through observation and interviews with band students and directors at St. Mary’s Academy High School, which is an all-girls school, and Warren Easton Charter High School, which is co-ed, it is apparent that many girls are affected by stereotypes and social constructs that deem marching band and the subsequent careers in music to be masculine activities. This thesis looks at the history of marching bands as military organizations, the culture of bands today, and the patriarchal nature of the New Orleans professional music scene to show how marching bands maintain a gender hierarchy that privileges masculinity and can discourage professionalization in music for girls. / 1 / Olivia Broslawsky

The purpose of this study is to provide a detailed analysis of Vincent Persichetti's Masquerade for Band, which will include a conductor's guide focusing upon both technical and interpretive aspects, a brief biography of Vincent Persichetti, and background information pertaining to the creation of the composition. This document will provide the first significant and complete study of the composition since its creation in 1965. Specifically, the analysis will examine the means by which Persichetti achieves motivic and harmonic unity within the Masquerade. The formal structure is considered a theme and variations, however, it is atypical in that each variation incorporates borrowed material from Perischetti's textbook Twentieth-Century Harmony. Although each of the borrowed excerpts seem drastically different from one another on the surface, Persichetti acknowledged that each shared a unifying kernel. In Twentieth-Century Harmony, he explains that unifying kernels are short musical fragments of at least two notes that can form the nucleus of a work and from which motivic ideas and harmonic structure is derived. Previously, the kernel in the Masquerade had been unidentified. However, significant evidence suggests that the kernel which provides motivic unity among the borrowed material and which informs the octatonic harmonies is the intervallic relationship of a minor third first revealed in the theme as pitch-classes E and G.

<p>Faith is a phenomenon that engages the individual into emotional, social and daily manners.</p><p>Religion tends to engage the individual in different levels in the daily life. In the church communion, there is a belief to the traditional and the repeteated behaviour. This shared group is strength by ceremonies and rituals and people in this collective somehow experience another type of reality. This study has a social - psychological perspective and the purpose is to study people’s know-how of faith and why they seek religion in today´s secularized society. A quantitative approach was applied through interviews with five independent religious women. The theoretical framework is mainly built by theories that deal with trust, reflexivity and fellowship. The result indicates that the respondents have a similar view on the fellowship with other religious in the church communion, all respondents describes that the relationship to God have a central meaning. This follows a further description and motive to their faith. Religion is an obvious part of their life and something they cannot be without, thus this generates feelings of wellbeing to the individual religious.</p>

<p><strong>This report presents concepts for a planar active electronically scanned antenna(AESA). The goal of the project was to devlop a low-weight, low profile, thin, S-band antenna with wide-scan angle capabilities. In the final concept the service aspects of the T/R-modules was also taken into acount in order to allow easy and fast replacements of these components. The antenna was designed and optimised using the commercial software Ansoft HFSS. A prototype of the antenna was constructed and later measured and verified. The final concept is a 2m×2m antenna with an estimated weight of around 320 kg, around 11 cm thick (where the thickness of the antenna element is 1.76 cm) and has a maximum scan angle range of more than 45 degrees (with <–10dB active reflection) in the frequency band 3–3.5 GHz. </strong></p>

The purpose of this study was to trace the inauguration of the Alberta Chapter of the Canadian Bandmasters Association (CBA), its antecedents, eventual formation, inaugural challenges, solutions, unrealized goals, and successful projects. Historical research methodology was utilized to document pioneering members, bands in their communities, and the contexts of the early years of instrumental wind and percussion ensemble music education in Alberta. Findings from this research indicated that band directors persevered despite lack of formal music training, conducting or teaching experience, music equipment, knowledge of instrument repair, or repertoire. This research also investigated the success of early band directors due to factors of individual work ethic, community volunteerism, community pride, civic and provincial support for bands, the importance of Canadian Forces musicians and bands, and support of retail music businesses. The research findings acknowledged several historical antecedents to the Alberta Chapter of the CBA including a booming economy and an exceptionally stable political environment in post-war Alberta; the 1951 massed band concert at Pigeon Lake, Alberta, which educed the Central Alberta Bandmasters Association; and the 1955 invitation to become members as an Alberta Chapter of the Canadian Bandmasters Association. Research conclusions identify Herb Chandler, Harry Lomnes, Bruce Marsh, Bill Wilson, and Harry Wright as catalytic inaugural members. Many other important pioneering members, including Jack Barrigan, John Maland, Malcolm McDonnell, Ray McLeod, Oliver Murray, T. Vernon Newlove, and Allan Roddick are chronicled. A list of the initial goals of Alberta Chapter of the CBA is also documented, including: seeking government support for school and community bands for festivals, workshops, and clinics; the appointment of a Provincial Music Supervisor; and the desire for a band in every school in the province with the graduates forming bands in every community. A list of ten recommendations for further research is included.
