Repertoar på tvers av naturlig stemmetype

Masteroppgave i utøvende musikk 2006 - Høgskolen i Agder, KristiansandRepertoar på tvers av stemmetype, er en undersøkelse om hvordan man kan gjøre repertoar på tvers av stemmetype av lyrisk og dramatisk karakter, og hva slags ødeleggelser som kan ramme stemmeinstrumentet hvis sangeren ikke er teknisk klar. Dette er en masteroppgave i mastergradsstudiet i utøvende musikk ved høgskolen i Agder. Oppgavens omfang er på 55 sider, samt abstract/utdrag, forord, innholdsfortegnelse og litteraturliste. Med oppgaven følger en cd med innspilt musikk der jeg synger tre arier av Guiseppe Verdi. Repertoar på tvers av stemmetype er delt inn i åtte kapitler. (1) Første kapittel handler om klassifisering av stemmetyper. Jeg har beskrevet hvorfor stemmer er forskjellige og elementer som må taes i betraktning når man skal klassifisere stemmetyper. I dette kapitelet har jeg også klassifisert sopranstemmetypene og forklart hva som skiller de dramatiske stemmetypene fra de lyriske stemmetypene. (2) Andre kapittel handler om hvilke elementer som må ligge til grunn for å gjøre roller/repertoar fra operalitteraturen. Jeg har belyst hva som kreves av teknikk, modenhet og tolkningsevne for å kunne bevege seg på tvers av stemmegrenser. (3) I kapittel tre snakker jeg om det å gjøre roller på tvers av stemmetype både under og etter endt utdanning. (4) Kapittel fire handler om hvorfor studenter/sangere gjør repertoar på tvers av stemmetype. (5) Kapittel fem handler om hvilke skader som kan ramme stemmeinstrumentet ved å synge repertoar på tvers av naturlig stemmetype. (6) Kapittel seks handler om hvilke tiltak som må settes i verk for at sangerne skal få tilbake en naturlig, velklingende stemme. (7) Kapittel syv omhandler hvor mye ødeleggelser på stemmeinstrumentet kan forringe og forlenge en stemmeutviklingsprogresjon og en eventuell karriere. (9) Kapittel ni belyser pedagogens ansvar for at sangeren skal utvikle en sunn velpleiet stemmeteknikk, og hvorfor noen vokalpedagoger guider studenter i denne uheldige retningen at stemmene deres kan bli ødelagt

Gouverner la sexualité des couples : des cours pour les couples financés par l’état norvégien

Cet article se propose d’analyser la construction de la sexualité des couples norvégiens telle que la présente un cours mis en place et financé par l’État à l’intention des couples appelés à devenir parents pour la première fois. Intitulé « Bien vivre ensemble » (« Godt Samliv »), ce cours, lancé en 2005, est proposé gratuitement par les Centres de santé publique. De l’analyse des documents officiels, des débats politiques et des manuels utilisés pour cet enseignement, il ressort un discours sur la sexualité spécifiquement norvégien où l’accent est mis aussi bien sur l’égalité et la neutralité du genre que sur l’idée d’une démocratisation inclusive. Les jeunes parents sont encouragés à tout faire pour maintenir une relation durable et une vie sexuelle active permettant de favoriser le bien-être des enfants. L’idée de la sexualité qu’implique cette politique conjugale est fondée sur ce que l’on pourrait appeler « le devoir de spontanéité », lequel est présenté comme une tâche à laquelle les deux parents doivent s’atteler afin d’entretenir une relation stable et saine. À notre sens, cependant, telle qu’elle apparaît dans la politique gouvernementale sur la sexualité, cette rhétorique inclusive prônant la diversité a des limites, son discours excluant certaines formes d’intimité et de sexualité.This paper analyses the construction of Norwegian couples’ sexuality through the study of a publicly financed and organized relationship course called “Living Well Together” (“Godt samliv”). Established in 2005, the relationship course aimed at first-time parent couples is offered free of charge by municipal health centers. Scrutiny of national policy documents and political debate, and the course handbooks presented to couples, makes visible a particular Norwegian discourse on sexuality which stresses gender equality and neutrality and ideas of inclusive democratization. New parents are advised to make active efforts to maintain a loving, lasting relationship and sexuality, for the sake of the children. The idea of sex implied by this couples relationship policy is based on what may be described as a “duty of spontaneity”, presented as a work both parents should undertake in order to achieve a stable and healthy relationship. We argue, however, that the inclusive rhetoric of diversity that characterises this public form of Norwegian Sexuality has its limitations, and that certain forms of intimacy and sexuality are excluded from this discours

The association between demographic factors, user reported experiences and user satisfaction: results from three casualty clinics in Norway

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>User reported experiences and satisfaction are increasingly used as basis for quality indicators in the health sector. However, there is limited understanding of factors associated with user reported experiences and satisfaction with casualty clinics.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>A random sample of 542 patients that had contacted any of three casualty clinics from mid April to mid May 2008 was mailed a questionnaire. A reminder was sent to non-respondents after six weeks. Descriptive statistics for four user reported experiences scales and 20 single items are presented. Multivariate regression analysis was used to assess associations between background variables and user reported experiences, and between user reported experiences and user satisfaction.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>225 (41.5%) patients, carers and guardians returned a completed questionnaire. Users reported most positive experiences with the doctor services and the nursing services at the casualty clinics; on a scale from 0 to 100, where 100 is the best possible experience the doctor scale was 82 and the nursing scale 81. Users reported least positive experiences with the organization of the casualty clinic, with a scale score of 65. Self perceived health was associated with user satisfaction, while self perceived health and age were associated with user reported experiences with organization of the clinics. A range of user reported experience domains were related to user satisfaction, after controlling for socio-demographic variables, including experiences with doctor services at the clinics, organization of the clinics, information and self perceived incorrect treatment.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Users report positive experiences with the three casualty clinics, with organization as the aspect with largest improvement potential. The importance of age and health status for users' experiences and satisfaction with casualty clinics was shown, but a range of user reported experiences with the clinics were the most important predictors for user satisfaction.</p
