Intresset för att genomföra denna studie springer ur våra tankar från två områden – dels positiva erfarenheter av kamratrespons inom andra skolämnen än musik, dels positiva erfarenheter av att spela i band där feedback mellan medlemmar spelar en central roll. Studien tar avstamp i två frågeställningar: vilka faktorer påverkar kvaliteten av kamratrespons i ensemble ur ett elevperspektiv och vilka eThe interest in conducting this study arises from our thoughts and findings from two main areas. Firstly, our positive experiences from peer response in other subjects than music, and secondly, our positive experiences from playing in bands where the feedback between members plays a key role. The study starts with two questions: what factors affect the quality of peer response in ensemble lessons

Stålindustrin är den industrisektor som har högst utsläpp i världen. Ståltillverkning tillskrivs cirka 8 % av världens totala C02-utsläpp. Från den utgångspunkten är behovet av djup avkarbonisering av stålindustrin är uppenbart. Det mest gynnsamma alternativet för att fasa ut fossila bränslen från produktionen av stål är att övergå till ståltillverkning från grönt väte. I denna rapport undersöks kThe steel industry is the most emitting industry sector in the world. Steelmaking attributes to around 8 % of the world’s total CO2 emissions. From that standpoint the need for deep decarbonization in the steel industry is evident. The most viable option for removing fossil fuels from the production of steel is to move to steelmaking from green hydrogen. In this report comparative advantages for g

This thesis examines what drives import price inflation in the EU by decomposing it into supply and demand driven inflation. The decomposition is done by using product level import data retrieved from Eurostat. The paper examines the period from 2019-01 to 2023-01 which captures events such as the Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine. To classify the product as demand or supply driven, two methods are

Ofrivillig ensamhet är ett växande samhällsproblem och påverkar människors hälsa negativt, såväl fysiskt som psykiskt. Som människor är vi skapta för att vara i gemenskap med andra. Att känna sig inkluderad och delaktig därmed grundläggande för vårt välbefinnande och vår hälsa. Många upplever den sociala avsaknaden i sitt hem eller i sitt bostadsområde. När det handlar om att känna sig ensam i sInvoluntary loneliness is a growing societal issue that negatively affect people’s health, both physically and mentally. As human beings, we crave community and belonging. Feeling included and involved is therefore fundamental to our health and well-being. Many individuals face social isolation within the confines of their homes or close neighborhoods. When experiencing loneliness in your home,

Design of experiment is a powerful tool that can reduce the amount of physical testing needed to save resources, time and money. A CFD-setup was constructed in OpenFOAM-8, simulating injection of liquid propane with a standard multi-hole injector. The model was then validated against experimental results. Two design of experiment models were then created using Rstudio. The two models had four spec
