The purpose of this project is to use different improvisational and compositional methods to compose music for a duo, trio, and a quartet. The goal is to explore the possibilities of each setting regarding the different improvisational methods and if it has an impact on decision making as an improviser. One of the factors of changing the setting is the possibilities of the various roles of each musician in each arrangement.   The combination of the ensembles:  Duo: Tenor saxophone and drums. Trio: Tenor saxophone, drums, and bass. Quartet: Tenor saxophone, drums, bass, and guitar.  Three improvisational methods will be compared to each other:  Improvisation through a melody, without written chords.  Improvisation over a traditional form: Melody – solos over written chords – melody.  Collective improvisation.  Compositional methods: Open arrangements. Using the main instrument to compose.  There will be a discussion about the different roles of the musicians in each setting and how the roles may affect the arrangements in various ways. One of the factors is to avoid the common roles as an accompanist and a melody instrumentalist in each setting. Two of the settings do not include a chord instrument and that will lead to a certain role for me as a saxophonist along with the different roles of the rhythm section. There were six rehearsals planned in total, followed by an examination concert in Nathan Milsteinsalen, Kungl. Musikhögskolan on February 23rd. / <p>Björgvin Ragnar Hjálmarsson - Tenorsaxofon</p><p>Bjarni Már Ingólfsson - Gitarr</p><p>Johan Tengholm - Kontrabas</p><p>Henrik Jäderberg - Trummor</p>

Syftet med studien är att ur ett individperspektiv undersöka HR-medarbetares upplevelser av HR-transformation. Studien besvarar följande frågeställningar: Hur påverkar den pågående HR-transformationen HR-medarbetarnas nuvarande arbetsuppgifter och funktion? Vilka förändringar anser HR-medarbetarna har påverkat deras upplevelser av HR-yrket? Hur ser HR-medarbetarna på HR-transformation i framtiden? Studiens syfte besvaras med kvalitativ metod genom sex semistrukturerade intervjuer med HR-medarbetare. Studiens teoretiska utgångspunkter som används för att analysera det empiriska materialet är konceptet HR-transformation, shared service, HR-medarbetarens olika roller samt resiliens. Resultatet visar att HR-medarbetarna upplever olika grad av HR-transformation, där den största förändringen är att administrativa arbetsuppgifter minskar tack vare digitaliseringen, men att det operativa arbetet fortfarande är väldigt viktigt. Strategiska arbetsuppgifter och HR-perspektivet har fått utökat utrymme och ökad betydelse i organisationer. Intervjupersonerna kan ses ha en resilient förmåga, de påvisar en anpassningsförmåga till de förändringar som sker och har en positiv inställning till dessa. HR-medarbetarna ser flera möjligheter i framtiden med en fortsatt HR-transformationsresa, där allt fler arbetsuppgifter förändras för att ge värde till organisationer, vilket tyder på att HR:s betydelse därmed fortsätter att öka. / The aim of this study is to investigate HR professionals’ experiences in an individual perspective of HR transformation.
