    Sammanfattning : In the 1960s, a few individuals in Scandinavia got so interested in Scottish Highland piping and pipe band drumming that they started to play themselves, although there was no existing tradition for this music in Scandinavia, and they formed a small community of dedicated pipers and drummers. The major objective of this thesis is to analyse the background to why and processes through which the marginal culture of Scottish piping and drumming spread to and developed in Scandinavia as well as to interrogate what use and function this genre of music may have in Scandinavia.

  3. 2. Influence of resuspension on sediment-water solute exchange and particle transport in marine environments

    Författare :Elin Almroth Rosell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resuspension; benthic fluxes; oxygen; dissolved inorganic carbon; nutrients; dissolved iron and manganese; in situ chambers; benthic lander; organic matter transport; ecological modeling; Gothenburg Archipelago; Gulf of Finland; Baltic Sea; Loch Creran; Scotland;

    Sammanfattning : Marine sediments contain a large pool of nutrients, which if released would contribute to increased eutrophication, in spite of decreased nutrient loads from land and atmosphere. Resuspension is a process, which might influence the release of nutrients from the sediment to the overlying water. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Oval brooches; Burials; Viking Age; Funerary rituals; Memory; Performance; Death; England; Scotland; Ireland; Iceland;

    Sammanfattning : Burials with oval brooches from the Viking Age settlements in Britain, Ireland, and Iceland have frequently been interpreted as the graves of a specific and uniform group of people: (pagan) Scandinavian women of relatively high status. This interpretation is partly a result of the way in which the material has been treated, as static entities with more or less fixed meanings. LÄS MER
