The Chromatic Approach : en studie i vilka pÄverkningsbara faktorer som visar sig genom aktionsforskning av en modern traditionsbrytande jazzimprovisationsmetod
Syftet med denna studie var att genom aktionsforskning undersoÌka vilka paÌverkningsbara musikpedagogiska faktorer som visar sig gaÌllande nivaÌanpassning av den Amerikanska jazzsaxofonisten George Garzones jazzimprovisationsmetod The Chromatic Approach (TCA). Aktionsforskning tillaÌmpades som vetenskaplig metod daÌr en progressiv nivaÌutveckling av varje students musikaliska moÌjligheter till anammande av TCA utarbetades. Tre interventioner genomfoÌrdes totalt, tvaÌ med en Kungl. MusikhoÌgskolestudent och en med en Gymnasiestudent. Bakgrunden till studien ligger i vikten av att som musiker faÌ utveckla foÌrmaÌgan till genrebrytande improvisation, en motverkan mot att fastna i givna och stigmatiserade musikaliska bojor som kan kvaÌva studentens nyfikenhet och lust till utveckling av den egna unika musikaliska roÌsten. Studiens resultat och analys visade paÌ utkristalliserade faktorer som under utvecklingsprocessen arbetats fram och tydliggjorts daÌr vikten av musikpedagogiska foÌrberedelser med nykomponerade oÌvningar behoÌvdes foÌr att nivaÌanpassa med haÌnsyn till instrumentteknisk nivaÌ och aÌven till respektive students musikteoretiska foÌrkunskaper. I studiens avslutande diskussion problematiseras aktionsforskningsmodellen som vetenskaplig utgaÌngspunkt foÌr pedagoger som genom sin forskning faÌr dubbla roller. Pedagogen och forskaren i samma person.
Can you hear me now? : A study in how a sudden implementation of teleworking affects knowledge workersâ perceived effectivity
Som konsekvens av COVID-19 sÄ tvingades organisationer runtom vÀrlden att stÀlla om till distansarbete för att minska smittspridningen. OmstÀllningen genomfördes i hög fart och i denna kontext sÄ har vi utfört en kvalitativ studie hos en fallorganisation för att undersöka hur distansarbetet pÄverkat deras upplevda effektivitet genom att intervjua medarbetare pÄ en storbank i Sverige. För studien har vi genomfört tio semistrukturerade intervjuer med kunskapsarbetare som jobbat med kunder pÄ distans. VÄr studie handlar om de hÀr kunskapsarbetarnas upplevda effektivitet och utifrÄn svaren vi fÄtt sÄ identifierar vi faktorer som pÄverkat deras effektivitet som inkluderar bland annat: hemmiljön, organisationens stöd, intern och extern kommunikation, livssituation och kundrelationer. Analys genomfördes i form av en innehÄllsanalys av transkriptionerna frÄn intervjuerna. Vi har kommit fram till att organisationen kan ha en positiv inverkan pÄ kunskapsarbetarnas upplevda effektivitet vid distansarbete om rÀtt ÄtgÀrder tas, dÀribland har vi identifierat att det Àr viktigt att stödja sina medarbetare och att hjÀlpa dem att ordna en god arbetsmiljö nÀr de distansarbetar för att kunna arbeta med hög upplevd effektivitet.As a consequence of the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus organizations around the world have had to work remotely to reduce the spread of the virus. The change to working from home was made quickly and in this context we have conducted a qualitative study at an organization to investigate how remote work has changed the perceived efficiency of the knowledge workers at the organization. To gather answers to our research questions we have carried out ten semi-structured interviews with knowledge workers that have had to change to working remotely. All of them worked directly with customers. The interview material was analyzed by content analysis of the transcribed data. Our study centers around their perceived efficiency and the answers we have gathered surround factors such as: home environment, support from the organization, internal and external communication, family and customer relations. We have come to the conclusion that the organization and its actions can have a major positive impact on knowledge workers perceived efficiency during remote work. We have identified actions to take to enable efficiency such as: providing support for the employees and helping them create a good office environment at home

Differences in Health-Related Quality of Life After Gastric Bypass Surgery : a Cross-Sectional Study
Background: Gastric bypass (GBP) is a surgical method with good evidence of sustainable weight loss, reduced obesity-related comorbidities, and improved health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, long-term data post-GBP is scarce on HRQoL related to other factors than weight loss, such as impact of socio-economic, age, and gender. Aim: To investigate long-term HRQoL in GBP patients. Methods: The study was conducted as a cross-sectional study covering 3 to 9 years post-GBP measuring HRQoL using RAND-36. Association to weight loss, time since surgery, gender, educational level, occupation, and age was analyzed. The participants were included on the basis that they had received a GBP that was performed by Region SkÄne, the southernmost administrative healthcare region in Sweden. Recruitment to the study was by mail invitation for an online survey. Results: Of the total population of 5310 persons receiving the questionnaire, 1339 of the 1372 responders fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Those with low educational level, unemployed, persons on sick leave or disability support, and those with less weight loss reported the lowest HRQoL. The longer time since surgery, the lower the HRQoL. Conclusion: Less weight loss, longer time since GBP, lower educational level, and lower degree of employment all affect HRQoL negatively after GBP surgery.
