Sturmian numeration systems and decompositions to palindromes
No full textInternational audienceWe extend classical Ostrowski numeration systems, closely related to Sturmian words, by allowing a wider range of coefficients, so that possible representations of a number n better reflect the structure of the associated characteristic Sturmian word. In particular, this extended numeration system helps to catch occurrences of palindromes in a characteristic Sturmian word and thus to prove for Sturmian words the following conjecture stated in 2013 by Puzynina, Zamboni and the author: If a word is not periodic, then for every Q > 0 it has a prefix which cannot be decomposed to a concatenation of at most Q palindromes
Sonification of women in sound and music computing - The sound of female authorship in ICMC, SMC and NIME proceedings
No full textThe primary goal of this study was to approximate the number of female authors in the academic field of Sound and Music Computing. This was done through gender prediction from author names for proceedings from the ICMC, SMC and NIME conferences, and by sonifying these results. Although gender classification by first name can only serve as an estimation of the actual number of female authors in the field, some conclusions could be drawn. The total percentage of author names classified as female was 10.3% for ICMC, 11.9% for SMC and 11.9% for NIME. When merging data from all three conferences for years 2004-2016, it could be concluded that names classified as female ranged from 9.5 to 14.3%. Changes in the ratio of female vs. male authors over time were further illustrated by sonifications, allowing the reader to explore, compare and reflect upon the results by listening to sonic representations of the data. The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that the field of Sound and Music Computing is still far from being gender-balanced.</p
Theatre and Poetry in Works by Alexander Vustin and Grigori Frid for viola and string trio. Songs for Voices and Orchestra by Alexander Vustin. [Театр и поэзия в сочинениях Григория Фрида и Александра Вустина для альта и струнного трио. «Песни для голосов и оркестра» А.Вустина]
No full textThe creativity of Grigori Frid and Alexander Vustin is largely converged, not only due to the deep mutual respect of the teacher-student and close friendship over the years, but also due to the multidimensionality of hearing musical lines, the distinctiveness of the composer’s vision of several perspectives, the fragility of the lyrics and the tear of drama, the unusual combinations of timbre colours and performing technique, in particular, on stringed instruments, revealing new sound possibilities and techniques that lead beyond the boundaries of the familiar, well-trodden. In Three Pieces for violin, viola and cello (1999-2012) by Alexander Vustin, this manifests in singing (with simultaneous playing on instruments) of the string players of texts on the poems of Alexander Pushkin and Olga Sedakova, which are not an accompaniment or external decoration, but an equal line forming musical fabric and drama. In the remarkably heartfelt work In Memory of Grigori Frid for viola and piano (2014), by Alexander Vustin, it is an exit into the transcendental, non-worldly dimension in a monologue-address to the departed. In the Sonata for viola and piano No. 2 (Phaedra) op. 78 (1985) by Grigori Frid it is the influence of the composer's pictorial skill and the origins of the music itself, originating in the theatrical performance-drama. The cycle by Alexander Vustin Songs for Voices and Orchestra (1995-2017) rises above and beyond the expected format of orchestral miniatures to become large-scale expressive canvases. The discussion on these topics is based on the collaborations of the author of the chapter with composers, in the preparation of the recording of world premieres of these works on the Toccata Classics label and concert performances

Simple equations on binary factorial languages
No full textAbstractWe consider equations on the monoid of factorial languages on the binary alphabet. We use the notion of a canonical decomposition of a factorial language and previous results by Avgustinovich and the author to solve several simple equations on binary factorial languages including Xn=Yn, the commutation equation XY=YX and the conjugacy equation XZ=ZY. At the end of the paper, we discuss the difficulties hindering the reduction of equations on factorial languages to equations on words and the extension of the alphabet considered

On possible growths of arithmetical complexity
No full textThe arithmetical complexity of infinite words, defined by Avgustinovich, Fon-Der-Flaass and the author in 2000, is the number of words of length n which occur in the arithmetical subsequences of the infinite word. This is one of the modifications of the classical function of subword complexity, which is equal to the number of factors of the infinite word of length n. In this paper, we show that the orders of growth of the arithmetical complexity can behave as many sub-polynomial functions. More precisely,
for each sequence u of subword complexity ƒu(n) and for each prime p ≥ 3 we build a Toeplitz word on the same alphabet whose arithmetical complexity is
Att Integrera hållbarhet i företagets kärnverksamhet : Från globala mål till lokal tillämpning
No full textIn 2016, the work towards a more sustainable world increased momentum when the new 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) came into force. Now the SDGs will serve as a global agreement in the work towards ending all forms of poverty, fight inequality and tackle climate change for the next fifteen years. By using standardized Environmental Management Systems (EMS) together with global goals, the author aims on finding ways in how consultancy companies can develop their environmental and sustainability work even further. The purpose of the outcome is to contribute with knowledge in on how to become a leader within sustainable performance and environmental management as well as providing Pöyry Sweden with the basic knowledge in how to develop its performance in order to meet the new ISO-requirements. In the thesis the author developed a matrix-model in which the SDGs where connected to Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) as well as the Sweden’s Environmental Objectives (SEO). The aim of the matrix was to connect the SDGs to local ways of measuring environmental performance, but also on finding the SDGs that the consulting companies were most interested in. In order to collect the information, eight Swedish based consultancy companies (Acando, Accenture, Allies, U&We, Pöyry Sweden, Sweco, WSP and ÅF) where included. All companies where interviewed and took part in the matrix analyse. Based on the research question “How can the SDGs together with ISO be integrated within the management system at a private consultancy company in order to create sustainable benefits, focusing on environmental sustainability, for the company, customers and the society where they conduct business?” it was possible to see that the implementation of the SDGs together with ISO provides sustainable benefits as well as new business opportunities. The results showed that the ISO 14001:2015 could be an advantageous and strategic tool for many consultancy companies. A fully integrated strategic management system would help placing the company in an advantageous position, ready for tougher legislation, customer demand and technical innovation. In combination with commitments to the SDGs the company could find new ways of inspiring its employees and finding long-term purpose for the company and its business. The study made, proved that several of the SDGs are relevant for the interviewed consultancy companies. In the study the author experienced that three companies distinguished themselves when it came to leadership, internal driving force for finding sustainable business opportunities and finding ways of integrating the SDGs in the business. These companies were Allies, U&We and Accenture. For all interviewed parts, several goals are considered both as highly relevant, holding high business opportunities. A commitment to global goals could therefore have a positive effect on the company, providing a communicative strength and new ways of setting goals and bring visions forward. To summarize, the consultancy companies who dare to take a lead in performing sustainable business can send a clear statement and inspiration to customers and the business in general that sustainability is important and should be a desirable goal for the company to achieve. These companies would be considered as role models within sustainability, creating a positive impact reaching beyond the business itself
