Att undervisa i teaterämnet på gymnasiet innebär bedömning och betygssättning. Betygssättning är en komplex uppgift särskilt när det gäller sceniska uttryck eftersom de involverar tycke och smak eller det som Shifra Schonman kallar för magkänsla (Schonman 2007). Med gymnasiereformen 2011 följde ny läroplan, nya kursplaner och en ny betygsskala. De nya styrdokumenten krävde att teaterlärare reflekterade över sina bedömnings- och betygssättningsprocesser på ett nytt sätt. Den nya betygsskalan skiljer sig radikalt från den tidigare. I kursen Scenisk gestaltning 1 är kunskapskraven långt fler och definierar kunskapsprogressionen på detaljnivå. Det innebar helt nya krav på elevers prestationer och färdigheter vilket låg i linje med en skoldiskurs som främst utbildningsminister Jan Björklund har fört som en konsekvens av Sveriges allt sämre resultat i PISA-undersökningarna. Riskerar denna diskurs genom högre krav, fler prov och noggrann dokumentation av elevers resultat att påverka teaterundervisningens innehåll? Syftet med min undersökning har varit att från ett diskursanalytiskt perspektiv se om Skolverkets riktlinjer och direktiv inför formuleringarna av de nya styrdokumenten var uttryck för skoldiskursens styrande kraft. Med avstamp i en semiotisk läsning av Eugène Ionescos Den skalliga primadonnan, med Michel Foucaults maktbegrepp som teoretisk grund och Norman Faircluoghs kritiska diskursanalys samt Michael Polaniys teori om den tysta dimensionen, har min avsikt varit att problematisera den nya betygsskalans detaljerade kunskapskrav som verktyg för bedömning i kursen Scenisk gestaltning 1. Jag ville därmed kasta ett nytt ljus på betygens roll i teaterämnet och undersöka om detaljerade värdemarkörer som skiljer olika betygssteg från varandra, riskerar att inskränkta på lärarens frirum i bedömning av gestaltande processer.

The reliable operation of Integrally Geared Centrifugal Compressors (IGCCs), used in the coal-fired power generation industry of South Africa, is essential for economic, environmental and safety considerations. However, due to the unavailability of individual stage performance curves, the ability of a compressor owner to identify underperforming stages to maintain these compressors proactively remains limited. This study addresses the stage performance prediction of an IGCC when only the compressor’s overall performance characteristic, in conjunction with the impeller diameters and tip speeds, are known. The study is limited to IGCCs used in the coal-fired power generation industry of South Africa. Based on the limited inputs, two performance modelling methods were considered for this application, namely stage stacking and 1-dimensional modelling. However, stage stacking requires known operating points on each stage performance curve from which the rest of the curve can be extrapolated while 1-dimensional models require detailed stage design information to model stage performance. This study developed a revised stage stacking procedure which in contrast to the traditional stage stacking procedure, does not require a known operating point on each stage’s performance curve, for it assesses the relative stage performance at the compressor’s surge flow rate. The relative maximum pressure ratio of each stage is acquired through the application of similarity principles while a simplified 1-dimensional impeller analysis model is used to assess relative impeller head coefficients. The modelling process was developed based on performance and design data for IGCCs obtained from a compressor manufacturer. Performance data of four IGCCs, consisting of 13 stages, were obtained, including the design data for ten impellers. Hence, the IGCCs satisfy the requirements of geometric and aerodynamic similarity, unveiling a linear relationship between the stage impeller tip speed and maximum pressure ratio. A simplified 1-dimensional performance model was used to assess relative impeller head coefficients. A verification procedure ensured the integrity of the findings of the 1-dimensional model was maintained by comparing the model results to findings obtained using commercial compressor performance modelling software. A sensitivity analysis was conducted on the 1-dimensional performance model to ascertain which input parameters could be scaled as a function of the impeller tip diameter. For the four IGCCs for which data were obtained, the stage-discharge pressure and isentropic efficiency curves were calculated using the developed model. The maximum variation between the measured and calculated pressure and isentropic efficiency curves equaled 8.20% and 10.84%, respectively. The prediction accuracy of the developed modelling procedure is similar to map-based models found in literature and is considered adequate for identifying an underperforming stage. Thus, the developed model could serve as a valuable conditioning monitoring tool for site-based compressor owners. / Dissertation (MEng)--University of Pretoria, 2019. / Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering / MEng / Unrestricted

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur trygghet kan utvecklas med hjälp av artistisk mental träning. Syftet bärs upp av följande forskningsfråga: Hur erfar jag att mental träning kan hjälpa mig i processen att bli tryggare i mitt musicerande? Studien utgår från ett fenomenologiskt livsvärldsperspektiv där loggbok brukas som dokumentationsmetod, kompletterat med en videoinspelning. Resultatet presenteras utifrån följande teman: Fysisk och mental avslappning, självbild, trygghet genom visualisering samt trygghet vid framträdanden. Fysisk och mental avslappning beskriver hur jag erfarade avslappning, på och utanför scenen. Under kapitlet Självbild fördjupas mitt inre arbete och saker som acceptans och affirmerande av ord visar sig betydelsefulla. Trygghet genom visualisering lyfter fram hur synen på mig själv förändras samt hur min sångteknik främjas med hjälp av visualisering. Trygghet vid framträdanden lyfter fram hur jag upplever trygghet på scenen, vilket förändrar mitt förhållningssätt till nervositet. Slutligen förs en diskussion utifrån resultatet anknytet till tidigare forskning samt övrig litteratur som presenteras i bakgrundskapitlet. Diskussionen lyfter teman som avslappning, ordens kraft, självbilden- och acceptansens betydelse, avslutat med egna reflektioner, arbetets betydelse och vidare forskningsmöjligheter. / The purpose of this study is to examine how a sense of safety can be developed using artistic mental training. The purpose is supported by the following research question: How do I experiecne that training can help me in the process of becoming more secure when I make music? The study is based on a phenomenological lifeworld perspective, where logbook writing is used as a method of documentation, supplemented with a video recording. The result is presented from the following themes: physical and mental relaxation, self-image, security through visualization and security within performing. Physical and mental relaxation describes how I percieved relaxation, on and off the stage. Under the self-image chapter, my inner work deepens and things such as acceptance and the using of words proves to be important. Security through visualization highlights the change in how I see myself and how my song technique is improved through visualization. Security within performing shows how I percieve security on the stage, which changes my approach to nervousness. Finally, a discussion follows from the result as well as other literature presented in the background chapter. The discussion raises themes such as relaxation, the power of words and the importance of self-esteem and acceptance, concluded with my own reflections, the importance of this study and further research opportunities.

This thesis seeks to explore the many possibilities that lie within the incorporation of the voice alongside playing the violin. This territory is still very unknown, and the author believes that many new artistic possibilities and tools are yet to be discovered.The attempts made seek to understand the difficulties and limitations of the incorporation of the voice, while discovering its bountiful treasures. / <p>"Terje Vigen" by Ivar BøksleArrangement by Olav Eirik LølandViolin and vocal - Olav Eirik Løland</p><p></p><p>Konserten börjar efter två minuter.</p>

La compagnie des Ballets russes, fondée par Diaghilev en 1911, constitue un tournant dans l’histoire de la scène occidentale. Reprenant le principe de l’œuvre d’art totale, la troupe propose des spectacles composés par des peintres, des chorégraphes et des musiciens. Leur succès est fulgurant et leur influence décisive. Cette thèse se propose d’étudier la réception des Ballets russes en Espagne. Alors que l’Europe est en guerre, la Péninsule constitue une terre d’accueil propice aux échanges. Les intellectuels du pays s’interrogent sur les possibilités de rénover la scène théâtrale et sont attentifs aux expériences qui viennent de l’étranger. Les ballets que propose la compagnie entrent en résonnance avec leurs propres préoccupations. Ils posent à la fois la question de la tradition au sein de la modernité, du national et du cosmopolitisme et s’exportent à l’étranger. Ce travail s’attache à confronter les différentes réceptions qui sont simultanément menées dans les deux capitales culturelles de l’Espagne au moment où les régionalismes s’affirment toujours plus. La présentation de l’état des lieux de la scène espagnole constitue le premier moment de cette thèse. La deuxième partie est entièrement consacrée à la première saison (1916) que la compagnie donne en Espagne ainsi qu’aux débats auxquels elle donne lieu. Les troisième et quatrième parties mettent en miroir les lectures qui sont faites à Madrid puis à Barcelone et présentent les singularités de chacune des deux capitales culturelles du pays. / The Ballets Russes company was founded by Diaghilev in 1911, and marked a turning point in the history of the Western European stage art. Taking up the Gesamtkunstwerk, the company offered shows composed by painters, choreographers and musicians. Their success was immediate and their influence was decisive. This work will examine how the Ballets Russes were received in Spain. The Spanish peninsula offered a fertile ground for exchange while Europe was at war, with the country's intellectuals wondering about how to renew the theatre scene and being receptive to foreign experiments on the matter. The ballets offered by the company reflected those concerns by addressing the question of the role of tradition within modernity as well as the concepts of nationalism and cosmopolitism while managing to find an audience abroad. This study aims at confronting the simultaneous reception of the Ballets Russes in the two cultural capitals of Spain at a time when regionalism was becoming increasingly strong. The first part will give a description of the Spanish theatre and arts scene. The second part will be entirely dedicated to the company’s first season in Spain (1916) and to the debates it raised. The third and fourth parts will deal with the way the ballets were received and understood in Madrid and Barcelona, through a presentation of the particularities of each of these two cultural capitals. / La compañía de los Ballets russes, fundada por Diaghilev en 1911, constituye un momento relevante de la historia de la escena occidental. Inspirándose del principio del Gesamtkunstwerk wagneriano, la compañía presenta espectáculos compuestos por pintores, coreógrafos y compositores. Su éxito es enorme y su influencia decisiva. Esta tesis estudia la recepción de los Ballets russes en España. Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, la Península aparece como una tierra de acogida propicia a los intercambios. Los intelectuales españoles se interrogan sobre las posibilidades de renovar la escena teatral y están atentos a las experiencias realizadas en el extranjero. Las obras estrenadas por la compañía llaman su atención. Compaginan la tradición y la modernidad, lo nacional y el cosmopolitismo y se exportan al extranjero. Este estudio presenta una comparación entre las diferentes recepciones llevadas a cabo en las dos capitales culturales españolas en un momento en que los regionalismos se afirman cada vez más. Una presentación general de la escena español de aquel entonces constituye el primer momento de esta tesis. La segunda etapa se centra en la primera temporada rusa que la compañía presenta en España (1916) así como en los debates que surgen entonces. Las etapas 3 y 4 estudian las recepciones que tienen lugar en Madrid y en Barcelona comparando las características de cada una de las capitales culturales del país.
