    Much of western music harmony study considers repertoire only from the classical canon and so-called jazz standards. While this pursuit is noble, much more can be gleaned from musical theoretical study expanding the repertoire into progressive rock. Prog has pioneered the modern usage of chromatic harmony, especially 4ths-based movement, and subdominant harmony, as well as the natural expansion of the ideas of chromatic mediants and transformational theory. This paper specifically highlights the usages of these extended harmonic techniques in the music of Casey Crescenzo, primary writer/composer for the rock band: The Dear Hunter

    I want to become a barn

    No full text
    There is a new order on the farm, the animals are long since gone, new people have moved in. On a farm in Bergslagen, which is also my home, a barn (or lada in Swedish) stands empty. The original function of this barn, to house a small number of cows and their feed, has been lost. Since moving to the farm, we have asked ourselves how it should be used.  It is here the project I Want to Become a Barn plays out. In my degree project, I explore how to have a dia-logue with the building and how the barn can be approached by starting from its current condition.  The work process is guided by a care for that which has been, where the new has to adapt to the old. The history of the place, the ravages of time, and the forces of gravity are elementary starting points. The project proposes that the building can be made habitable and meet basic everyday needs. When does it stop being a stable for animals and when does it start to become a home for humans

    Fasilitering for studentaktiv læring

    I tilknytning til det studentaktive og tverrfaglige prosjektemnet Eksperter i team (EiT), får omkring 180 læringsassistenter opplæring i fasilitering hvert år. Gjennom læringsassistentenes fasilitering blir studentene bevisste og aktive blant annet i forhold til utviklingen av sitt tverrfaglige samarbeid. Denne artikkelen presenterer fasiliteringskompetansen læringsassistentene får og stiller spørsmålet om denne kan anvendes i andre emner. Når studenter i andre emner ønsker støtte for å finne løsningene selv, har behov for et trygt læringsklima og savner konkrete tilbakemeldinger, ser vi at fasiliteringsferdigheten kan være en ressurs også for disse. Likeledes når undervisere, emne- og programansvarlige for andre emner trenger innsikt i studentenes læringsprosesser for å kvalitetssikre og utvikle sitt emne, vil fasiliteringkompetansen læringsassistentene får i EiT kunne være en støtte

    Cranial morphology and phylogenetic relationships of Amynodontidae Scott and Osborn, 1883 (Perissodactyla, Rhinocerotoidea)

    International audienceAmynodontidae Scott and Osborn, 1883 are an extinct family of Rhinocerotoidea Owen, 1845 known from the middle Eocene to the latest Oligocene of Asia, North America, and Europe. We report here two unpublished specimens of Amynodontidae, a skull and a mandible of Zaisanamynodon borisovi Belyaeva, 1971 from the late Eocene of the Zaysan Basin (Kazakhstan) and a skull of Metamynodon planifrons Scott and Osborn, 1887, from the early Oligocene of the Big Badlands (United States). This new material has been incorporated into a morpho-anatomical character matrix. It was completed with the coding of the recently described species of Amynodontopsis jiyuanensis Wang X.-Y., Wang-Y.-Q., Zhang R., Zhang Z.-H., Liu and Ren, 2020 and the revised coding of Cadurcotherium cayluxi Gervais, 1873 and Cadurcotherium minum Filhol, 1880. We computed a cladistic analysis based on this matrix, including 31 Rhinocerotoidea terminal taxa. The new phylogenetic hypothesis proposed allows to discuss the relationships of the referred specimens within Amynodontidae and those of Amynodontidae within Rhinocerotoidea. Our cladistic analysis clarifies the generic and specific composition of the tribes Metamynodontini Kretzoi, 1942 and Cadurcodontini Wall, 1982 and supports the monophyly of the genus Zaisanamynodon Belyaeva, 1971. The dichotomy between the two tribes is notably expressed by the presence of several cranial features such as "the deep nasal notch" or "the well-developed preorbital fossa" in Cadurcodontini. These cranial specializations attest to an adaptation of the peri-nasal region to the presence of a proboscis with a feeding function. Our study also opens a discussion on the biogeography of Amynodontidae, their emergence and dispersal in Asia and their subsequent migration to North America, and Eastern Europe. Their presence in Western Europe remains restricted to the Oligocene, after a dispersal related to the "Grande Coupure" event
