This study endeavours to elucidate the journal of Captain Hermanus Hofmeijer of the Dutch man 0' war, Amsterdam, which has been transcribed from the original script, translated from Dutch into English and interpreted from a contemporary viewpoint. It offers an opportunity to evaluate a unique primary historical document which records an important historical event. An attempt has been made to contextualise the incident in the light of the early history of the Dutch people. The contribution of the Dutch East India Company (VaC) to the trade and commerce of the Netherlands during the 17th and 18th centuries has been assessed together with the shipbuilding techniques that served to make the Dutch a major seafaring nation. The significance of Texel and Nieuwediep has been examined and the sea route and navigational instruments placed in perspective. The voyage has been analysed in some detail. The background of Captain Hermanus Hofmeijer has proved especially interesting. Although he pursued his career with the Dutch Navy, he was born and spent his early years in Cape Town, South Africa. The time spent by the Amsterdam in Batavia, Samaraog and Sourabaya gives an insight into the Dutch possessions overseas. The return voyage, storms and ultimate grounding are of special interest as Hofmeijer records the journey and events on a daily basis. The impact and significance of 217 extra people in the Eastern Cape area did not go unnoticed, and although the event was not well documented, an attempt at some contextualisation has been made. Finally a short overview of maritime archaeology in South Africa and its significance as a relatively new discipline has been included. The study of the material remains of the wreck of the Amsterdam has resulted in a new understanding of wooden ships built in the early 19th century.

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.

The aim of this qualitative study is to investigate the behavioral changes of family travel during a pandemic. Travels which are in focus of this study are international tourism for the purpose of leisure and VFR- travels. This study is based on the Swedish national vaccination plan from Sweden's public health authority. The study’s data is collected from ten unstructured interviews with families that have children that are younger than 17 years old. The theoretical framework of the study is Roger’s 1975 (cited in Norman, Boer and Seydel 2005) protection motivation theory, Strong’s (1990) tourists’ fear of pandemic diseases and Zheng’s et al. (2021) post-pandemic travel behavior which are used as a tool to analyze the results. The empirical data is transcribed, coded, and evaluated with the help of thematic analysis, it shows how the families behavioral changes with a pandemica. The result of this study makes it clear that the vaccination process is an important factor in the families’ travel decision-making, but it’s not a crucial factor of determination. Other aspects such as economy and legal impacts are additional side effects of the pandemic crisis which are meaningful within the families’ post-pandemic travel behavior. / Denna kvalitativa studie ämnar till att undersöka barnfamiljernas resebeteende beträffande internationella nöjesresor och BSV-resor utifrån den nationella vaccinationsplanen från Folkhälsomyndigheten. Det empiriska materialet i denna studie har insamlats genom tio ostrukturerade intervjuer där olika barnfamiljer har reflekterat över sina tankar kring resplaner, inställning till vaccin och riskbedömning gentemot COVID-19. Studiens teorier är valda på ett induktivt sätt och består av Protection Motivation Theory (Roger 1975 se Norman, Boer och Seydel 2005), Strongs (1990) tourists’ fear of pandemic diseases och Zhengs et al. (2021) post-pandemic travel behaviour. En tematisk analysmetod har applicerats för att kunna analysera de transkriberade och kodade intervjuerna. Studiens resultat påvisar att vaccination mot COVID-19 har en stor betydelse för familjern internationella och BSV- resebeslut, men erhåller inte en avgörande roll i respondenternas slutbeslut. Studien visar även ett förändrat resebeteende hos barnfamiljerna som en konsekvens av pandemins sidoeffekter på turistbranschen, exempelvis ekonomi och juridiska svårigheter och nya regler att förhålla sig till.

This dissertation comparatively explores and critically evaluates the historical and traditional notions that are commonly held by Christian pilgrims visiting the Holy Land; and it does so by examining the archaeological, historical, and literary evidence, with specific reference to the existent material remnants that are closely associated with the burial of Christ Jesus. The research will highlight the impact that biblical archaeological findings and the results thereof have had on these identified pilgrimage sites. Both the strengths and the weaknesses of the evidence will be enumerated; and the implications for the practice and significance of pilgrimages will be set out. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / M.A. (Biblical Archaeology)

Barn reser mycket, precis som vuxna människor gör. En stor andel av barnens resor går till och från skolan, men utöver det sker även mycket fritidsresor till bland annat föreningsliv och idrottsanläggningar. Hur barn reser i vardagen påverkar både barns hälsa och utvecklande av självständighet. Med anledning av detta handlar detta examensarbete om just barns mobilitet och hållbara vardagsresor. Syftet är att lyfta barns olika resande samt inspirera och ta fram underlag för ett vidare arbete med barns mobilitet. Studien utfördes främst genom litteraturstudier samt enkätundersökningar. En resvaneundersökning gjordes tillsammans med Järfälla kommun för elever och föräldrar på Skälbyskolan, där frågorna undersökte resorna till skolan samt fritidsaktiviteter. En ytterligare enkät skickades ut till kommuner i nätverket ResSmart i Stockholmsområdet, och undersökta huruvida kommunerna arbetar med skol- respektive fritidsresor eller inte samt anledningar till detta. Resultatet av undersökningarna visar att gång och cykel är de vanligaste färdsätten till skolan, oftast själv eller tillsammans med jämnåriga. Skillnaden är dock stor gällande hur många barn som cyklar beroende på årstid, där endast en mycket liten andel cyklar på vinterhalvåret. Till fritidsaktiviteter är det överlägset vanligaste färdmedlet bil, vilket leder till att barnens självständighet kring dessa resor är låg. Anledningen till skjuts till fritidsaktiviteter är främst avståndet men även kopplat till tiden på dygnet och det generella familjepusslet. Vid skjuts till skolan uppgavs anledningen vara tidsbrist och att föräldrarna ändå skulle resa vidare med bilen. Vid jämförelse mellan förortsskolan Skälbyskolan och Gustav Vasa skola i Stockholms innerstad, syns att gång är det vanligaste färdsättet i båda områden. Däremot sker varken skjutsning eller cykling till Gustav Vasa skola, trots att anledningen till skjuts när den väl sker är densamma som vid Skälbyskolan. Gällande det kommunala arbetet är det fler kommuner som arbetar med hållbara skolvägar än barns fritidsresor. Dessutom skiljer sig arbetssättet, och vid arbete med fritidsresor nämns endast fysiska åtgärder och mjuka åtgärder saknas helt. Utifrån resultatet har åtgärdsförslag presenterats för ett utvecklat arbete inom området. För skolresor bör fokus ligga på att påverka föräldrarnas resvanor samt underlätta för vintercyklande. För fritidsresor föreslås istället att mycket åtgärder kopieras från skolvärlden, och där arbetet bör starta med inventering och resvaneundersökningar. Vidare föreslås att mjuka åtgärder ska introduceras, samt att komplexa och långsiktiga åtgärder som fritidsbussar och tätare stadsplanering är nödvändiga. Slutligen menar studien att vidare arbeten och arbete krävs för ett fortsatt utvecklat arbete med barnsresor. Området fritidsresor behöver lyftas både i underlag och information men även i medier och i större forum. / Just like adults, children travel regularly in their everyday life. A major part of children’s travels goes to school, but apart from that children also do leisure travels to club activities and leisure facilities. The everyday travel habits of children affect both their health and independence. For this reason, this thesis will embrace children’s mobility and sustainable everyday travels. The aim is to raise the different travel types of children as well as present a basis for continued work within the topic. The study contains of literature research and questionnaires. One of the surveys was made in collaboration with Järfälla municipality. The two questionnaires, one for the students and one for their parents, investigated the travels habits to school and leisure activities for children in Skälbyskolan. Another questionnaire was sent to municipalities in the network of ResSmart. This survey collected information about if and how the municipalities work with children’s school travels and leisure travels, including also the reason why in some cases nothing was done. The result of the surveys showed that walking and cycling are the most common ways of transport to school. Most of the travels was done alone or with other children. Considering the use of bicycle, the use is dependent on the time of the year, where a large proportion cycle in summer but few in winter. To leisure activities, a great majority of the travels are made by car. Because of this, the independence of children’s leisure travel is generally non-existing. The reason why parents drive their children to leisure activities mainly depends on the distance, but also the time of the day in relation to darkness and the general family life. When driving children to school, the main reasons are lack of time and continued travels by car. When comparing Skälbyskolan with Gustav Vasa skola in the downtown of Stockholm, the result showed that walking is to most popular way of travel for both schools. However, neither cycling nor driving was made regularly to Gustav Vasa skola, even if the reasons when actually driving was the same as in Skälbyskolan. Regarding the municipality planning and actions, it is more common that municipalities work with sustainable school travels than children’s leisure travels. Furthermore, the working methods differ, where only physical arrangements are made within leisure travel routes and the lack of mobility management is a fact. With basis in the literature and survey results, action proposals are presented for a developed work within the area. For school travels, the actions should focus on reaching the parents and affecting their choice of mode, as well as actions for easier and more comfortable cycling during winter season. Considering leisure travels is the proposal to copy actions from the work with school travels, where the work should start off with inventions and travel habits surveys in leisure clubs. Furthermore, mobility management actions should be introduced, but also complex and long-term actions including leisure buses for children as well as compact city planning. Finally, the study mean that further work and surveys are needed for continued and developed work with children’s mobility. The area of children’s leisure travels should be raised both in planning documents and information, but also is media and larger forums.

A tese investiga as possíveis aproximações entre arquitetura e viagens de formação a partir das experiências de deslocamentos de dois arquitetos de São Paulo pelos Estados Unidos, entre 1943 e 1947. Formados respectivamente pelas escolas de engenharia do Mackenzie e da USP na década anterior, Henrique Mindlin (1911-1971) e João Vilanova Artigas (1915-85) empreenderam suas viagens aos EUA em anos decisivos de modelagem de sua atitude e liderança no campo profissional, de modernização do campo arquitetônico no Brasil, bem como de ampliação dos mecanismos de cooperação entre os dois países. Propõe-se entender estas viagens tanto em seus aspectos comuns, como um expediente caro à própria história da arquitetura, quanto nas particularidades de cada uma delas, dos arquitetos que as empreenderam, dos itinerários que desenvolveram e no momento mesmo em que o fizeram. / The thesis investigates the possible approximations between architecture and training trips based on the experiences of two US architects traveling from São Paulo between 1943 and 1947. They were graduated respectively from Mackenzie and USP engineering schools in the previous decade, Henrique Mindlin (1911-1971) and João Vilanova Artigas (1915-85) undertook their travels to the United States in decisive years modeling their attitude and leadership in the professional field of modernizing the architectural field in Brazil, as well as expanding cooperation mechanisms between The two countries. It is proposed to understand these journeys both in their common aspects, as a costly expedient for the history of architecture itself, as well as the particularities of each one of them, the architects who carried them out, the itineraries they developed and the moment they did so.
