An essay / Lars Ole Bonde.Music can be a significant health resource for children and their families in paediatric hospitals. Music therapy, music medicine and other music approaches are developing as part of children’s hospitals in the Nordic countries. Positions are established in some countries,and there is a growing interest in the field, both among politicians and health professionals. Still, the inclusion of music in paediatric hospitals is not a matter of course and the process of integrating music in Nordic hospitals could be said to be in an early phase. This anthology is a contribution to the growing evidence base for music approaches in paediatrics – with a unique focus on Nordic perspectives. It is of value to both practitioners and researchers interested in how music can be integrated in paediatric hospitals. At the same time, it is an invitation to hospital managers and health politicians to use the potentials of music therapy, music medicine and other music approaches and the competencies of professionals in these fields in a steady improvement of paediatric health care. The anthology covers a range of topics and perspectives. The articles,written by authors from across the Nordic countries, give insights into both selected practice areas within the paediatric hospital setting, research, theory, and core concepts. Although Nordic contexts are highlighted, the insights are also highly relevant to the international community. "This state-of-the-art music therapy anthology highlights the depth of theory and clinical practice taking place in pediatric hospitals. The insights so generously provided from a vast array of Nordic perspectives will certainly influence global music therapy research and practice.” Joanne V.

This anthology originates from one of the research initiatives of the Centre for Music and Health at the Norwegian Academy of Music. It has been a central aim of the centre, and of this project in particular, to make visible some of the ways in which music in general has become an important part of people’s everyday lives, especially with regard to how people use music to sustain or improve their sense of wellbeing and quality of life. Through this project, we tried to give voice to some of the stories we knew existed in our culture but had yet to be fully articulated or reflected upon. In formulating our project, which was first titled ‘Musical Life Stories: Music as Health Performance’, our colleague Karette Stensæth was incredibly helpful in shaping some of the research questions as well as handling our application for approval from the Norwegian Social Science Data Services (NSD). Our gratitude likewise extends to the project participants who gave their informed consent for us to tell their stories. We also want to thank all of the anthology authors who contributed to this collection of narratives. Research originating in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Australia and the UK seems to have confirmed our suppositions and has made this anthology a truly international—and, one might add, multi-sited—research project. A distinguished group of international referees also supplied the necessary constructive resistance to these articles, ensuring both their quality and their intersubjective relevance. Our thanks, then, go to Brian Abrams, Anne Balsnes, Alf Björnberg, Thomas Bossius, Rudy Garred, Simon Gilbertson, Carolyn Kenny, Viggo Krüger, Inge Nygaard Pedersen, Odd Skårberg, Hans Petter Solli, Hans Weisethaunet and Barbara Wheeler. We are also very thankful that Gary Ansdell was willing to introduce this anthology with his foreword. In addition, many of us for whom English is a second language could not have managed these contributions without the skillful and creative editing, revising and commenting of Nils Nadeau. Last, but not least, we want to thank the Norwegian Academy of Music, which hosts and supports the Centre for Music and Health. Lars Ole Bonde, Even Ruud, Marie Strand Skånland and Gro Trondalen

Author Functions in Lars Kepler\u27s The Hypnotist: An Analysis
No full textThis paper examines Foucault\u27s notion of the author function as it pertains to Lars Kepler\u27s bestselling 2011 crime thriller, The Hypnotist. Lars Kepler is the pseudonym of a Swedish husband-wife writing duo, making him the perfect subject for analysis centering on illusory notion of the author. This paper will answer these questions: Who is the true author of The Hypnotist? What factors influence the author function of this bestelling novel? And what can The Hypnotist phenomenon tell us about the relationships between authors and their readers? This paper will demonstrate that no literary works may be ascribed to an individual person, and that authors hold no privileged knowledge of the works they produce, because authors cease to be authors the moment pen is lifted from page
Coping in Nordic Peripheries - on the Spatial Production of Societies
Get PDFIn many traditional approaches the notion of “society” has been taken for given as a territorial container of modern society per se, and regional development was only a question of how to organise and distribute within societies. However, increasingly globalisation, flows and networks across borders have been seen as the new dominant forces of the 21st century, and traditional approaches to regional development are seen as trapped in territorial understandings. The paper seeks to develop a third position that highlights the constitutive forces of spatial practices to the development of modernity in Nordic peripheries. Hence, the spatial practices inherent in coping strategies, regional policies, planning and other aspects of regional development are interpreted not as effects or consequences of social orders, but as producers of social orders. Specific focus is given to the constitutive role of the territorial orders of municipalities and the protestant church in the formation of, often surprising, modern orders in Nordic peripheries in the 20th century. The paper draws on and develops empirical and theoretical insights from the UNESCO MOST Circumpolar Coping Processes Project (co-ordinated by the author, see www.unesco.org/most/p91.htm and www.uit.no/MostCCPP).
”Lärda nyheter” i Peter Hernquists korrespondens till Carl von Linné och Abraham Bäck - med kommentarer och utvikningar
Get PDFI detta Meddelande nr 55 från Veterinärhistoriska museet har författaren - professor emeritus Lars-Erik Appelgren - gjort ett urval av den korrespondens som Peter Hernquist hade med sina mentorer Carl von Linné och Abraham Bäck under sin vistelse i Frankrike, varvid ”Lärda nyheter” varit en ledstjärna för urvalet. Speciellt har breven till Bäck försetts med författarens personliga kommentarer men även kompletterats med faktaupplysningar från andra källor än breven om berörda nyheter. För att underlätta läsningen har dessa kommentarer omgetts med enkelkonturerad och utvikningarna med dubbelkonturerad ram. Lars-Erik Appelgren har inte bara genom sitt veterinärhistoriska författarskap utan också genom att ställa sina fackliga kunskaper och sin eminenta estetiska läggning till förfogande gjort Veterinärhistoriska museet ovärderliga tjänster. Det är med stor glädje jag noterar att region Uppsala nyligen visat sin uppskattning genom att tilldela Lars-Erik sitt Medicinhistoriska stipendium med motiveringen att de vill ”lyfta fram ett viktigt men ofta förbisett område inom medicinhistorien: veterinärmedicinen”. Med de varmaste gratulationer
Interpreting Wage Bargaining Norms
Get PDFFrom the mid-1990s onwards, Swedish wage bargaining has been characterised by informal co-ordination of the wage claims of big unions and bargaining cartels. In particular, it has been understood that the manufacturing sector should lead by first agreeing on a pay increase, whereafter the service sector and public sector unions choose a similar increase. We analyse his setup with two possible theoretical interpretations: (i) the manufacturing sector as a tackelberg leader and (ii) a normative role for the manufacturing sector’s pay increase, upported either by unmodelled social pressure or a modeled loss aversion (envy) of the heltered sector unions. The conclusion of the analysis is that the normative or leading role of one sector – in the Swedish case the manufacturing sector – can potentially bring big benefits for employment and output. Generalising an idea suggested by Lars Calmfors and Anna Larsson, our analysis also generates a rudimentary theory of why the wage increase norm sometimes binds and sometimes not. A comparison of the model predictions and the observed outcomes of the last five wage bargaining rounds in Sweden suggests that the model is generally consistent with the empirical observations: wage moderation and norm observance are stronger when the manufacturing industry’s initial relative wage is low.wage bargaining; bargaining co-ordination
