Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie har varit att genom en komparativ analys av Supplementary instruction (SI) och ämnet Ensemble på gymnasiet, jämföra undervisningskulturernas karaktär samt dess inverkan på elevernas upplevelse av bedömning. Studien har också ämnat identifiera om och i så fall hur eleverna ges utrymme att utveckla icke-kognitiva förmågor inom dessa miljöer. Med en hermeneutisk anThe purpose of this qualitative study has been to investigate the teaching cultures within Supplementary instruction (SI) and the subject Ensemble in upper secondary school. Through a comparative analysis of these learning environments, the aim has been to seek understanding of the pupils’ perception of assessment. The study has also intended to identify if, and in that case show how, the pupils a

Purpose: The purpose is to explore the phenomenon of utilizing corporate museums in internal branding, in order to understand what they are, how they are used and why in the context of strategic brand management in general and brands with a heritage in particular. Methodology: A qualitative multiple case study with a constructionist and inductive approach has been executed. The case companies rep

Investments are essential to any economy. Therefore, governments aim to increase the level of total investments done within a country. Investments improve the economy and the productivity of the country. For this reason, it is important to understand which factors can influence investments on a national scale. The primary aim of this study is to investigate factors that could reasonably be exp

A study is carried out on the ventilation strategies for road tunnels in different countries and consequences using fixed fire fighting systems (FFFS). The type of ventilation strategy for road tunnels can ensure the safety of people during the evacuation stages and protection of the rescue services during their intervention of the fire. Ventilation strategies vary from country to country and ther

Self-driving cars have the potential to revolutionize individual mobility. Before this can happen, however, they will have to overcome a series of hurdles, one of which will be to overcome resistance among potential users. Previous research about resistance towards self-driving cars has primarily revolved around demographic characteristics that correlate with a higher likelihood of resistance. Thi

The aim of this paper is to explore which skills and mindsets are necessary for successful leadership in the digital era. It is written for IKEA who are interested in remaining at the forefront of their industry by understanding how digitalisation affects their business and how to make the most of the opportunities it brings, one aspect of which is leadership. There is a gap in the existing knowle

With recent advances in the field of ultra cold atoms one can, by trapping atoms at low temperatures by laser beams, simulate systems which can be adequately described by single-band lattice Hamiltonians. Also, due to the high parameter tunability of the experimental setups, lattice disorder can be introduced in a con- trolled fashion in these systems. This thesis considers disordered/ordered inte

The time-ordered linear density response function is examined in a model study. Two model dimers are considered; one with one orbital per site and a second one with two orbitals per site. The one-orbital case has U0, the on-site Coulomb interaction, as the only parameter and is solved analytically. The two-orbital case has parameters U0, the upper orbital non-interacting eigenenergy ε1, and the ho

India has yet to build 70% of the buildings that will exist in 2030. The housing industry in India has been growing rapidly in an effort to keep up with increasing urbanization, population growth and aspirational consumption. Its growth is accompanied by a large ecological footprint, given the resource intensive processes involved and the large amount of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) produced. St

Småföretagen upplever svårigheter vid finansiering med banklån. Anledningen till det är att bankerna ställer högre krav på säkerheter och historik till följd av finanskrisen 2008. Samtidigt söker investerarna alternativa placeringar utanför börsen. I denna miljö föds en ny finansieringslösning- gräsrotsfinansiering. Ämnet är nytt och i detta arbete ges en introduktion och en kartläggning av ämnet Small businesses encounter difficulties receiving bank loans due to the 2008 recession. Banks have harder requirements on collaterals and satisfactory records of accomplishment than before the crisis. At the same time, investors are looking for investments beside common stocks. In this environment, a new financing solution is being born – the crowdfunding. The aim of this thesis is to research on

This paper aims to examine the arrangements taken to prevent the development of Antimicrobial resistance in production animals which transfers to humans through the food chain and therefor constitutes a threat against the public health. The examination focuses on the development of Antimicrobial resistance within the EU. It firstly presents what present research says about possible arrangements wh

Mikroplastens intåg i den limnologiska miljön - Allmän dammussla (Anodonta anatina) innehåller mikroplast Utan betydande åtgärder kan det år 2050 finnas mer plast än fisk i världens hav, beräknat på vikt. Mikroplast och dess miljöpåverkan är just nu ett mycket aktuellt forskningsämne, mikroplast medför miljöproblem för framförallt marina organismer. För att undersöka hur närvarande mikroplast är Alarming amount of plastic accumulate in the ocean. Recent research states that if the use of plastic will continue as predicted it will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. It has been established that microplastic has spread to many of the world's marine ecosystems. Some animals including mussels mistake microplastic for food and ingest the microplastic, a big problem which can le

Abstract Achilles tendon rupture and tendinopathy are frequent ailments with increasing incidence. Still today, there is no consensus regarding optimal treatment for neither condition. However, studies indicate that the rehabilitation program following an injury is more important for the functional outcome and recovery of the tendon than the initial treatment (surgical or non-surgical). For patie

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to provide the reader with insights regarding what Syrian highly-educated immigrants (HEI) in Sweden think are the underlying prerequisites and actions needed to facilitate their entrance into the Swedish job market. Key Research Question: What are the key requirements needed to expedite the employment of HEI in the Swedish job market, and take up relevant jo

Today we depend on data based services, for example in logistics, at warehouses, and accounting services. When a data based service is delayed it can depend on its servers being overloaded, leading to economic losses. To prevent this, it is necessary to have appropriate monitoring tools that can make the system administrators aware of when performance thresholds have been breached and servers are

Mesh networks are highly relevant and interesting today considering all the connected devices that exists. These devices often aim to have low power consumption to be able to be powered by smaller power sources such as solar cells or batteries. The hardware used by mesh networks often has the same purpose, to minimize power consumption. The purpose of this thesis is to provide an increased underst
