This study examines phrase and larger formal structures in the first movement of Leo Brouwer’s Elegio de la Danza (1964), a work that draws on tonal and post-tonal traditions. By adapting key features of the tonal motive, as described by Douglass Green, and the tonal period, as proposed by Green and William Caplin, the model seeks to provide a tool for the discussion of phrases and larger forms in Brouwer’s work. An analysis of primary parameters, such as melody, harmony, and rhythm, provides the means to discuss how the composer articulates beginnings and endings of statements and responses, which are then grouped into antecedent and consequent phrases. These periods articulate large-scale sections, which outline a ternary formal design. Secondary parameters (dynamics, tempo markings, instrumental markings) further contribute to the identification of formal structures in Brouwer’s work.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka den fysiska aktivitetsnivån hos de anställda samt ta reda på vilka motivationsfaktorer och barriärer de upplevde till fysisk aktivitet. Syftet innefattade även att se om motiv och barriärer skiljde sig beroende på aktivitetsnivå, ålder och kön. En del av syftet var även att undersöka hur aktiviteten kring företagets erbjudande till fysisk aktivitet såg ut. Undersökningen genomfördes genom att deltagarna (n=139) besvarade en omarbetad form av Motivation Till Upprätthållande Av Motionsvanor (MTUAM), en svensk version av Physical Activity Stages Of Change samt några bakgrundsfrågor. Resultatet visade att 55 procent var tillräckligt fysiskt aktiva enligt Folkhälsoinstitutets rekommendationer. Resultatet visade även att de främsta motivationsfaktorerna var förbättrad kondition, förbättrad hälsa samt ökad fysisk styrka. De främsta barriärerna var mycket att göra i hemmet, stress/tidsbrist och brist på motivation. Resultatet visade även att det fanns signifikanta skillnader i motiv och barriärer beroende på aktivitetsnivå och kön. Det fanns även en signifikant skillnad mellan ålder och motiv. Det framkom att 28 procent utnyttjar företagets erbjudande till fysisk aktivitet och att de främsta orsakerna till att det inte utnyttjades var tidsbrist, avsaknad av målsättning samt att de tränar på egen hand. Resultatet diskuterades sedan i förhållande till den tidigare forskningen. / The purpose of this study was to investigate the employees physical activity level and to identify the motivators and barriers they experienced to physical activity. The purpose included investigating if the motives and barriers differed depending on activity level, age and gender. It also examined the activity the company’s offer of physical activity concerning. The participants (n=139) responded to a revised form of Motivation for Maintenance of Exercise Habits (MTUAM), a Swedish version of the Physical Activity Stages of Change and a few background questions. The results showed that 55 percent were sufficiently physically active according to the recommendations of the Swedish Institute of Public Health. The results also showed that the main motivation factors were improved fitness, improved health and greater physical strength. The main barriers were a lot to do at home, stress/lack of time and lack of motivation. The results also showed that there were significant differences in motivations and barriers depending on activity level and gender. There also was a significant difference between age and motives. It was discovered that 28 percent used the company’s offer of physical activity. The main reasons why it was not used were lack of time, lack of goals and that they train on their own. The results were then discussed in relation to the research.

The sentimental novel Cárcel de Amor by Diego de San Pedro was hugely popular in its time both in Spain and in other parts of Europe, spawning at least twenty editions in Spanish, nine bilingual versions, and eighteen translations between 1492 and 1675. The purpose of this study is to examine the seemingly, and oft criticized, varied nature of the sentimental and political discourse in the novel to demonstrate how San Pedro used them to create unity of structure and theme. In addition I analyze the effects of the author's implementation of metanarrative strategies on the relationship between structure and theme. Cárcel was written during a period of great social and political turmoil in Castile, and San Pedro uses the sentimental and political material of the work to paint a reflection of the society in which he lived. He demonstrates that the chivalric ideals of courtly love and honor based on virtue, values upon which the nobility based their collective identity, are no longer viable in his culture because they have come to be devoid of the beauty they originally embodied. In their place one finds a growing obsession with honor that is a construction of appearances with little regard for virtue. As the protagonist Leriano, who represents the perfection of these ideals, comes into conflict with the king and other courtiers, the reader realizes that the old ideals and the new reality are completely incompatible. San Pedro also uses several metanarrative strategies to draw the reader into the fictional world in order to force him to confront the same crisis that Leriano and the Auctor character face as they determine that their value system cannot survive in the false, double-dealing society in which they live. He uses these same techniques to underscore the fictional quality of the "reality" that members of that society create for themselves. San Pedro effectively uses both the sentimental and political discourse of the work to create a realistic picture of Castilian society's moral decay in the fifteenth century.

Bakgrund: År 2007 emitterade Världsbanken den första gröna obligationen i världen tillsammans med SEB. Vasakronan emitterade den första gröna företagsobligationen år 2013 och därefter har marknaden expanderat. Gröna obligationer har samma finansiella egenskaper som traditionella obligationer, skillnaden ligger i att obligationslikviden från gröna obligationer ska finansiera miljö- eller klimatvänliga projekt. Gröna obligationer ger investerare och emittenter incitament att implementera hållbara investeringar eller projekt.

Jak wynika z prowadzonych przeze mnie badań, Teodor Bujnicki jest poetą mało znanym, nieco zapomnianym, co jest niesłuszne, gdyż pod wieloma względami jest reprezentatywny dla dwudziestolecia międzywojennego. W swojej pracy już wspominałam, że twórczość poetycka Teodora Bujnickiego rozwijała się i ewoluowała stopniowo. Można znaleźć w jego poezji elementy powtarzające się także u innych twórców, jednak poeta potrafił je ułożyć we wzór właściwy tylko dla niego. Pierwszy rozdział przybliża postać samego poety, omawiam życiorys T. Bujnickiego. W rozdziale drugim była poddana analizie poezja Bujnickiego o zabarwieniu regionalnym. Zostały ukazane cechy regionalne tej poezji, takie jak: apoteoza litewskiego krajobrazu, ukazanie swoich związków z rodzimym regionem. Na treść trzeciego rozdziału złożyły się rozważania o poezji przepełnionej katastrofizmem. Poeta tworzył w czasie tzw. apokalipsy, temat swych utworów uzależniał od bieżących politycznych i życiowych uwarunkowań. Można jednak śmiało powiedzieć, że część poezji Bujnickiego jest głosem pokolenia tragicznego, na które oddziałała wojna. Wydarzenie to wywarło bardzo duży wpływ na twórczość, na tematykę wierszy, ale również na poglądy oraz moralne ukształtowanie. Utwory zawarte w rozdziale trzecim są świadectwem pokoleniowego katastrofizmu, pesymizmu, przekonania o nieuchronnym zbliżaniu się śmierci i końcu przedwojennego porządku. Ta część twórczości Bujnickiego wyraża więc wątek apokalipsy dokonanej, spełnionej. W czwartym...

Darbą sudaro Teodoro Bujnickio gyvenimo aprašymas bei pasirinktų kūrinių analizė ir interpretacija. Darbe yra panaudoti du metodai: aprašymo ir interpretavimo. T. Bujnickio kūrybos nagrinėjimas patvirtino, kad jo poezijoje svarbią vietą užima ne tik katastrofiniai, ypatingai pabrėžti kritikoje iki šiol, motyvai, bet ir regionaliniai. Buvo poetui artima ir autotematine srovė, gvildeno ir meilės, džiaugsmo, gyvenimo prasmės temos. Neatsižadėjo ir politinių, visuomeninių problemų aprašymo. Bujnickio poetika semia iš tradicinių ir avangardinių lobių. Ypatingai žavi kūryboje romantinė literaturos srovė. Poeto lyrikoje yra ilgesys, subtilumas ir ekstazė. Bujnickio poezija semia kartais iš Adomo Mickevičiaus kūrybos tradicijos. Galima padaryti išvadą, kad Teodoras Bujnickis yra vertas mūsų dėmesio, jo kūryba gali inspiruoti ir naujas poetų kartas. / Thesis Poetry of Teodoras Bujnickis contains four parts: 1.

Bujnickis’s poetics reaches from traditional and vanguard treasures. Romantic stream in his literature fascinates the most. In lyrics of the poet, there is longing, subtlety and ecstasy. Bujnickis’s poetry sometimes reaches from the tradition of Adomas Mickevičius works. The conclusion can be made that Teodoras Bujnickis is worth our attention and his works may also inspire new generations of poets.

The long tradition in the arts of the Hunt, domestic and exotic, as a surrogate for war in peacetime is reflected in the Amiens Hunting Series (1736-1739) along with influences from the waning years of Louis XIV and early trends in the reign of Louis XV. / Two of Francois Boucher's lesser known works form part of the Amiens canvases executed for Louis XV's private gallery at Versailles. Carle Van Loo, Charles Parrocel, Jean-Francois de Troy, Jean-Baptiste Pater and Nicolas Lancret contributed to the Series, but Boucher's work is unique due probably to his study of the hunts of Peter Paul Rubens and his reference to an older heritage represented by Antonio Tempesta who had already interpreted the natural wonders of the world as described by Pliny and others. / The seventeenth-century concept of the "noble huntsman" endures through the pivotal work of Boucher which constitutes the logical link between Rubens's Baroque expression and the Romantic extension of the theme by Eugene Delacroix.
