James Bond-temats musikaliska förändringar : Från Dr. No till Casino Royale

I denna uppsats har den musikaliska förändringen i James Bond-temat, sett över de 21 filmer som gjorts fram till denna uppsats genomförande, analyserats och tolkats. Syftet är att dela med mig av mina tankar och analyser om hur temat framförts och utvecklats, samt därmed också bidra till att utveckla kunskapen om James Bond-världen.Efter en litteraturbaserad del, där bakgrunden till James Bond-temats uppkomst behandlas, så analyseras sedan film för film i Bond-serien från Dr. No till Casino Royale. Analysen tar främst upp delarna synkronisering, instrumentering och influenser.Analyserna visar på att James Bond-temat i grund och botten bygger på samma melodi genom alla filmer, men också har förändrats i stor utsträckning i utförandet.

School leaders as agents of change : a case study on how two head teachers are trying to implement the learning study method in their school

This paper seeks to describe and discuss the impact of inspections of schools in Sweden. It outlines the political context, based on New Public Management (NPM) theory, according to what role the Schools Inspectorate is supposed to play in order to govern and control. Attention is also devoted, referring an on-going case study, to how inspections influence head teachers and their leadership in their everyday work.   Reports from the Schools inspectorate are public. This forces both politicians and head teachers to take measures. In this case, the head teachers perceived that the inspection reports confirmed what they already knew, but it also gave them an alibi and a tool to push their teachers to take part in everyday school development work. During the first year after the inspection the head teachers mainly strived to adjust formal deficiencies in local steering documents. However, some of the deviations reported from the Schools inspectorate are regarding pedagogical problems that are complicated and difficult to handle. As interventions in many cases will show up much later the results are, for example as increased goal fulfilment, in this case, still an open question. Nevertheless, it seems obvious that the Schools Inspectorate must be seen as a result of the governing philosophy that denotes New Public Management NPM).
