Emma Diruf Seiler (1821-1886) was a Bavarian-American voice teacher and scientist who wrote and published Altes und Neues über die Ausbildung des Gesangorganes mit besonderer Rücksicht auf die Frauenstimme (Old and New in the Art of Singing, with Special Attention to the Female Voice) in 1861 while working in Leipzig. It was translated by William Henry Furness and published in Philadelphia as The Voice in Singing in 1868. This pedagogue and her writings are largely unknown to those who study historic bel canto pedagogy. In the opening of Seiler's pamphlet, she explained her purpose for writing was "to bring into harmony things which have always been treated separately, the Science and the Art of Singing..." Aside from brief comments in a few books on vocal pedagogy, Emma Seiler is largely unknown. Neither her contribution to voice science and pedagogy, nor the impact of her integrated philosophy on teaching have been subjected to scholarly scrutiny. The purpose of this document is to explore her philosophy on teaching, her method of female vocal instruction, and her impact on voice instruction. This dissertation historicizes evidence-based pedagogy through Seiler's example.

Emma Lou Diemer (b. 1927) is a leading American composer, pianist, and educator. Although she composed many outstanding advanced-level piano works, she also believes that composing for other levels is a good discipline for composers. Her two collections Reaching Out and Travels Through Sound contain various contemporary techniques that are highly approachable for intermediate-level students. The purpose of this study is to provide a pedagogical guide to contemporary elements present in these collections, which are ideal for developing skills that can prepare intermediate-level students for more complex modern music. Diemer incorporates such contemporary features as complex rhythms and meters, non-traditional notations, and extended piano techniques, as well as non-traditional textures and forms. These techniques are presented in a compact and informative but not too complicated manner, so that intermediate-level students can master them.

Bakgrund: I samband med att utvecklingen inom ambulanssjukvården går framåt tillkommer förutom ökad kunskap ny utrustning och medicinteknisk apparatur. Kapnograf är en typ av medicinteknisk apparatur som på senare år rekommenderas för att utvärdera kvaliteten på hjärt-lungräddning. I vissa regioner i Sverige används kapnografen EMMA™. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka ambulanspersonalens användning och erfarenheter av EMMA™ vid hjärtstopp utanför sjukhus. Metod: Studien genomfördes med icke experimentell kvantitativ metod. En prospektiv tvärsnittsstudie genomfördes med hjälp av en enkät med skattningsskala samt med möjlighet till fritextsvar. Resultat: Resultatet visade att EMMA™ användes i stor till mycket stor utsträckning av ungefär hälften av deltagarna i studien. Av deltagarna var det 75% som upplevde sig ha stor till mycket stor kunskap om när EMMA™ skulle användas. Dock skattade deltagarna sin tolkningskunskap lägre än kunskapen om när EMMA™ skulle användas. Deltagarna önskade mer utbildning, simulering samt ett tolkningsstöd. Slutsats: Studiedeltagarna har god kunskap om när EMMA™ ska användas dock efterfrågas mer utbildning för att höja kunskapen ytterligare samt simuleringsträning. Mer utbildning om fördelarna med att mäta ETCO2 vid A-HLR samt återkommande simuleringsträning där EMMA™ används kan leda till ökat användande och bättre HLR kvalitet.

Detta är en uppsats kring arbetet av en Emma Fåtölj. Från stomme till klädd möbel. Även tankar kring traditionella stoppningsmaterial. Är tänkt som en processbeskrivning för Emmor med traditionell stoppning. vad man kan behöva tänka på och vad för problem som kan dyka upp. Under arbetet gång har jag planerat en helt ny stoppning utan en möbel att gå efter, snörat och sytt stoppningar och prövat olika metoder. Resultatet blev en mysig möbel och några tankeställare.

Behandlar den rådande klasstrukturen i Jane Austens Emma och hur de personliga egenskaperna hos ett urval av karaktärerna i romanen ställs mot varandra i en sådan kontext. Argumentet är att trots det faktum att Jane Austen respekterar och bevarar ramarna för klass i detta verk så finns det möjlighet att frångå dessa om det finns tillräckligt med goda personliga egenskaper som väger upp avsaknad av en viss klassbakgrund.

Beowulf presents a literary starting point in the discussion of peace weaving, reflecting the primary focus of Anglo Saxon epic poetry on the male hero rather than the peace weaver. Scholarship on peace weaving figures in the poem tend to negatively perceive the lack of female presence, and determine the tradition as one set up for failure. Adding historical peace weavers like Queen Emma to the discourse encourages scholars to view smaller successes, like temporary peace, as building on each other to ultimately cause the peace weaver to be successful at her task. From studying the life of Queen Emma, the continuous struggle of such a figure to be an influential presence in her nation is more evident. Combining the images of peace weaving set down by literature and then history prove that figures participating in the tradition are as vital to the heroic world as the warrior himself.

The aim of this dissertation is to study postmodern British Female Gothic fiction in terms of its abject representations of female desire which subvert the patriarchal definition of female sexuality as repressed and female identity as the object of desire. The study analyzes texts from postmodern Female Gothic fiction which are feminist rewritings of the traditional Gothic narratives. The conventional Gothic plot is based on the Oedipal development of identity which excludes the (m)other and deprives the female from autonomous subjectivity. The feminist rewritings of the conventional Gothic plot have a subversive aim to recast the Oedipal identity formation and they embrace the (m)other figure in order to blur the strict boundaries between the subject and the object. Besides, these rewritings aim to destroy the image of the victimized heroine within the imprisoning conventional Gothic structures and transgress the cultural, social and sexual definitions of women constructed by patriarchal sexual politics. The study bases its analyses on Jean Rhys&rsquo / s Wide Sargasso Sea, Angela Carter&rsquo / s The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories, and Emma Donoghue&rsquo / s Kissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins as examples in which patriarchal definition of the female desire as passive is destroyed and the female desire as active is promoted by the adoption of abject representations, which challenge the strictly constructed hierarchical relationships between men and women. Basing its argument on Julia Kristeva&rsquo / s psychoanalytical theories, which re-vision the traditional psychoanalytical theories, this study puts forward that by the emergence of postmodernism, which has overtly provided a ground for the marginalized discourses to get into dialogue with the oppressive ones, the abject representations of female desire have gained a positive characteristic that can liberate female body from the control and authority of the male-dominated ideology. Thus, one can chronologically follow the positive development of abject representations of female sexuality in Rhys&rsquo / s, Carter&rsquo / s and Donoghue&rsquo / s works which promote a liberation for the Gothic heroines from patriarchal psychoanalytical identity development, which render female desire active and female body expressive, which rehistoricize female sexuality from a feminist lens and which call for a new world order built upon an egalitarian basis that destroys hierarchically constructed gender roles. As a result, postmodern British Female Gothic Fiction is proved to be offering a utopian ideal of an egalitarian society, but although utopian and radical, not an impossible one to be realized.
