Vägen till musiklandet: Musikundervisning för nybörjarelever med Inger Söderman

Syftet med den här avhandlingen är att synliggöra hur man som klasslärare ska introducera ämnet musik för nybörjarelever och hur man kan bygga upp undervisningen under förskolan och det första skolåret. Avhandlingen grundar sig på en förförståelse för hur musikundervisningen byggs upp och jag vill förstå och lära mig hur Inger Söderman har undervisat och hur hon tänker kring musikundervisning för nybörjarelever. Som forskningsansats används hermeneutik och forskningen är kvalitativ. Respondent för avhandlingen är musiklärare Inger Söderman. Undersökningens datainsamlingsmetod är tre semistrukturerade intervjuer som spelades in. Materialet analyserades med narrativ analys och formades till en livsberättelse. Livsberättelsen analyserades sedan med hjälp av meningskategorisering för att få fram ett resultat. Genom analysen framkom tre huvudområden: musikundervisningen i åk 1, musikläraren och musikalitet. Resultatet delas in i de tre huvudområdena: musikundervisningen i åk 1, musikläraren och musikalitet. Det första området behandlar didaktiska medel och redskap för undervisningen, det andra musiklärarens egenskaper och förhållningssätt och det tredje musikalitet som fenomen och hur det kan övas i skolan. Resultatet visar sammanfattningsvis att musiklärare noggrant ska planera undervisningen samtidigt som man inte får tappa bort glädjen i musiken. Eleverna är det centrala, men de behöver en pedagogisk handledare som leder dem rätt. Didaktiska redskap i undervisningen kan vara metodsånger som övar elevernas gehör eller rörelsesånger som övar motorik och rytm. Musikläraren gör en resa i musiklandet tillsammans med eleverna där rytm, sång och rörelse är viktiga komponenter. Olika former av musikalitet finns hos alla elever, och differentiering är därför essentiellt.

Reproductive competition triggers mass eviction in cooperative banded mongooses.

In many vertebrate societies, forced eviction of group members is an important determinant of population structure, but little is known about what triggers eviction. Three main explanations are: (i) the reproductive competition hypothesis, (ii) the coercion of cooperation hypothesis, and (iii) the adaptive forced dispersal hypothesis. The last hypothesis proposes that dominant individuals use eviction as an adaptive strategy to propagate copies of their alleles through a highly structured population. We tested these hypotheses as explanations for eviction in cooperatively breeding banded mongooses (Mungos mungo), using a 16-year dataset on life history, behaviour and relatedness. In this species, groups of females, or mixed-sex groups, are periodically evicted en masse. Our evidence suggests that reproductive competition is the main ultimate trigger for eviction for both sexes. We find little evidence that mass eviction is used to coerce helping, or as a mechanism to force dispersal of relatives into the population. Eviction of females changes the landscape of reproductive competition for remaining males, which may explain why males are evicted alongside females. Our results show that the consequences of resolving within-group conflict resonate through groups and populations to affect population structure, with important implications for social evolution.

Evidence of oxidative shielding of offspring in a wild mammal.

Oxidative damage has been proposed as a potential mechanism underlying a life history tradeoff between survival and reproduction. However, evidence that reproduction is associated with increased oxidative damage is equivocal, and some studies have found that breeding females exhibit reduced, rather than elevated, levels of oxidative damage compared to equivalent non-breeders. Recently it was hypothesized that oxidative damage could have negative impacts on developing offspring, and that mothers might down-regulate oxidative damage during reproduction to shield their offspring from such damage. We tested this hypothesis through a longitudinal study of adult survival, reproduction, and oxidative damage in wild banded mongooses (Mungos mungo) in Uganda. High levels of oxidative damage as measured by malondialdehyde (MDA) were associated with reduced survival in both sexes. Levels of protein carbonyls were not linked to survival. Mothers showed reduced levels of MDA during pregnancy, and individuals with higher MDA levels gestated fewer offspring and had lower pup survival. These results suggest that maternal oxidative damage has transgenerational costs, and are consistent with the idea that mothers may attempt to shield their offspring from particularly harmful types of oxidative damage during pregnancy. We suggest that further advance in understanding of life history variation could benefit from theoretical and empirical exploration of the potential transgenerational costs of reproduction.

Position-dependent spin-orbit coupling for ultracold atoms

We theoretically explore atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) subject to position-dependent spin-orbit coupling (SOC). This SOC can be produced by cyclically laser coupling four internal atomic ground (or metastable) states in an environment where the detuning from resonance depends on position. The resulting spin-orbit coupled BEC (SOBEC) phase separates into domains, each of which contain density modulations-stripes-aligned either along the x or y direction. In each domain, the stripe orientation is determined by the sign of the local detuning. When these stripes have mismatched spatial periods along domain boundaries, non-trivial topological spin textures form at the interface, including skyrmions-like spin vortices and anti-vortices. In contrast to vortices present in conventional rotating BECs, these spin-vortices are stable topological defects that are not present in the corresponding homogenous stripe-phase SOBECs.

Probing the interactions between ionic liquids and water: experimental and quantum chemical approach

For an adequate choice or design of ionic liquids, the knowledge of their interaction with other solutes and solvents is an essential feature for predicting the reactivity and selectivity of systems involving these compounds. In this work, the activity coefficient of water in several imidazolium-based ionic liquids with the common cation 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium was measured at 298.2 K. To contribute to a deeper insight into the interaction between ionic liquids and water, COSMO-RS was used to predict the activity coefficient of water in the studied ionic liquids along with the excess enthalpies. The results showed good agreement between experimental and predicted activity coefficient of water in ionic liquids and that the interaction of water and ionic liquids was strongly influenced by the hydrogen bonding of the anion with water. Accordingly, the intensity of interaction of the anions with water can be ranked as the following: [CF3SO3](-) < [SCN](-) < [TFA](-) < Br(-) < [TOS](-) < Cl(-) < [CH3SO3](-) [DMP](-) < [Ac](-). In addition, fluorination and aromatization of anions are shown to reduce their interaction with water. The effect of temperature on the activity coefficient of water at infinite dilution was measured by inverse gas chromatography and predicted by COSMO-RS. Further analysis based on COSMO-RS provided information on the nature of hydrogen bonding between water and anion as well as the possibility of anion-water complex formation.

Effect of the cation on the interactions between alkyl methyl imidazolium chloride ionic liquids and water

A systematic study of the interactions between water and alkyl methyl imidazolium chloride ionic liquids at 298.2 K, based on activity coefficients estimated from water activity measurements in the entire solubility range, is presented. The results show that the activity coefficients of water in the studied ILs are controlled by the hydrophilicity of the cation and the cation-anion interaction. To achieve a deeper understanding on the interactions between water and the ILs, COSMO-RS and FTIR spectroscopy were also applied. COSMO-RS was used to predict the activity coefficient of water in the studied ionic liquids along with the excess enthalpies, suggesting the formation of complexes between three molecules of water and one IL molecule. On the basis of quantum-chemical calculations, it is found that cation-anion interaction plays an important role upon the ability of the IL anion to interact with water. The changes in the peak positions/band areas of OH vibrational modes of water as a function of IL concentration were investigated, and the impact of the cation on the hydrogen-bonding network of water is identified and discussed.

El rol de las redes de apoyo transnacional en la evolución del régimen de trata de personas en la región del mekong, 2004-2015

Con el fin de la unipolaridad no sólo se fortalecieron mecanismos de gobernanza global como los Regímenes Internacionales, sino también se fortalecieron actores no estatales. A pesar de la importancia que tomaron estos dos elementos aún no existe una teoría que explique exhaustivamente la relación que existe entre ellos. Es por lo anterior que, la investigación busca responder de qué manera el rol de las Redes de Apoyo Transnacional ha incidido en la evolución del régimen de tráfico de personas en la Región del Mekong. Asimismo tiene como objetivo comprender las relación entre el Régimen y las Redes de Apoyo Transnacional a través de la formulación de un caso de estudio basado en metodologías cualitativas, específicamente, en el análisis teórico-constructivista y el análisis de contenido de documentos producidos por actores estatales y no estatales.

Relación entre atrofia cortical difusa y desempeño cognitivo : estudio en población mayor de 60 años en un hospital universitario en la ciudad de Bogotá

El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo evaluar la existencia de la relación entre la atrofia cortical difusa objetivada por neuroimagenes cerebrales y desempeños cognitivos determinados mediante la aplicación de pruebas neuropsicológicas que evalúan memoria de trabajo, razonamiento simbólico verbal y memoria anterógrada declarativa. Participaron 114 sujetos reclutados en el Hospital Universitario Mayor Méderi de la ciudad de Bogotá mediante muestreo de conveniencia. Los resultados arrojaron diferencias significativas entre los dos grupos (pacientes con diagnóstico de atrofia cortical difusa y pacientes con neuroimagenes interpretadas como dentro de los límites normales) en todas las pruebas neuropsicológicas aplicadas. Respecto a las variables demográficas se pudo observar que el grado de escolaridad contribuye como factor neuroprotector de un posible deterioro cognitivo. Tales hallazgos son importantes para determinar protocoles tempranos de detección de posible instalación de enfermedades neurodegenerativas primarias.

Matéria orgânica e agregação de um planossolo sob diferentes coberturas florestais.

A qualidade da serapilheira pode alterar a agregação do solo, modificando a dinâmica de transformação e alocação do carbono (C) do solo em diferentes compartimentos. Avaliou-se neste estudo, a estabilidade de agregados e sua relação com características químicas da serapilheira, com o carbono orgânico e a fração leve livre da matéria orgânica, sob três diferentes tipos de cobertura vegetal floresta secundária (FS) e plantios de Mimosa Caesalpinaefolia (PM) e Carapa guianenses (PA) com posterior regeneração natural. Amostras de serapilheira foram caracterizadas quanto aos teores de polifenóis, lignina, suberina, tanino, holocelulose e relação C/N. Coletaram-se amostras de terra em duas profundidades (0-10 e 10-20 cm) para estimativa da agregação através da análise do diâmetro médio ponderado (DMP), diâmetro médio geométrico (DMG) e índice de estabilidade dos agregados (IEA). Subamostras das mesmas profundidades foram ainda caracterizadas quanto aos teores de C e da fração leve livre (FLL). Os maiores teores de suberina e polifenóis da serapilheira, encontrados nas áreas FS e PM, reduziram a velocidade de decomposição dos resíduos no solo o que acarretou maiores teores da FLL em ambas as coberturas. Esses compostos contribuíram para a estabilização do C à fase mineral, pois os maiores teores de C foram encontrados nessas áreas. Essa afirmativa é confirmada pelos valores de DMP, DMG e IEA entre as áreas, que são maiores para as coberturas PM e FS. Os teores de polifenóis e suberina foram determinantes na compartimentação do C e agregação do solo das áreas de FS e PM.

Identificação molecular de fungos filamentosos isolados dos sintomas de superbrotamento em guaranazeiro.

O complexo superbrotamento, cujo agente causal é o fungo Fusarium decemcellulare, destaca-se como uma das principais doenças que acometem o guaranazeiro na região Amazônica. Entender a dinâmica da comunidade de fungos presente nas lesões e a interação com fatores bióticos e abióticos pode contribuir com o combate à doença. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar os diferentes fungos presentes nos três sintomas do superbrotamento em guaranazeiro e nos tecidos assintomáticos.

Biologia de Anopheles (Kerteszia) neivai H., D. & K., 1913 (Diptera: Culicidae) en la costa Pacífica de Colombia: I. Fluctuación de la población larval y características de sus criaderos

En Charambirá, localidad del município de Istmina (Chocó) en la costa Pacífica de Colombia, donde existe un problema de malaria endémica, se estudió la fluctuación de la población larval y las características de los criaderos de Anopheles (Kerteszia) neivai, especie considerada como posible vectora de malaria en esa región del país. La vegetación circundante fue dividida en tres estratos de acuerdo al grado de cobertura foliar. Se demarcaron cuadrantes de 100 m² en cada estrato para el muestreo de plantas epífitas de la família Bromeliaceae, en las cuales se acumula agua que sirve como criadero para esta especie de anofelino. Se tomaron datos de temperatura, pH y volumen del agua contenida en cada bromelia. El mayor número de larvas se detectó en el estrato 1 (manglar) a una altitud inferior a 4 m, pero no se encontró evidencia significativa de estratificación vertical de la población larval de A. neivai hasta los 8 m. Se evidenció una correlación lineal positiva entre el número de larvas y el volumen de agua contenida en cada bromelia; por otra parte se observó también una correlación directa entre la precipitación mensual acumulada y la fluctuación poblacional de esta especie. Los índices larvales mas altos se observaron entre los meses de marzo a abril y de julio a agosto. La mortalidad larval fue alta en el primer estadío (43,5%) y solo un 23,7% sobrevivió hasta el cuarto.
