Education for sustainability (EfS) has been regarded a promising approach for solving sustainability challenges. Results have been unsatisfying due to a knowledge-dissemination focus in the formal sector. Reasons are economic and political interests shaping formal education. Therefore, hopes are placed in the non-formal sector to close this knowledge-to-action gap. In this case study, I aim to und

The aim of this study was to describe and analyze how parents relate to their children’s internet use. Studies have shown that children nine years and older have increased access to private tablets and smartphones, leading to unsupervised online opportunities. With increased use, parents must take responsibility to protect their children from risks associated with the internet. We have examined; 1

Equality of opportunity is a notion rooted in many societies as a conception of importance. The idea that one’s life chances ought to be unrelated to the aspects of one’s background upon which one has no say, such as the material wealth of one’s parents, is generally one that is widely held. The term ‘Intergenerational income mobility’, describing, as it does, the interrelatedness of the incomes o

Rektorer har idag en stor ansvarsroll. Det finns ett regelverk med diverse skollagar, direktiv och läroplaner. Dock finns det ett brett spektrum av handlingsutrymme och handlingsmöjligheter att handla inom ramen av lagar. Problemhantering av vardagsvåld och vidtagande av disciplinära åtgärder är ett återkommande inslag i en rektors dagliga arbete. ”Rektorers handlingsutrymme: Antingen hittar vi en

This Bachelor’s thesis examines the individual motivations behind shaping an ethnic identity in order to become interesting to oneself and others. Through understanding how people shape an ethnic identity, what values lie beneath, and placing it into the context of postmodern demands on the identity, this study argues that an ethnic identity may serve a purpose of generating cultural capital and s

Yoghurt is a fermented product form the milk, well known in the world. The fermentation is carried out by Lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The most common are Streptococcus thermophilus and lactobacillus bulgaricus, these bacteria make the milk acid, generating a disturbance in the casein micelles making a solid mass called coagulum. This specific LAB also produces expopolysaccharides (EPS) that form t

Young people with intellectual disabilities in Indonesia face difficulties living up to the financial and social independence criteria of social adulthood. Many will need care- and livelihood support throughout their adult lives. This case study aims to examine how formal and informal social protection for persons with intellectual disabilities is organized in a semi-urban city in Central Java. So

Denna uppsats undersöker terrorattentats inverkan på den svenska finansiella marknaden. Effekterna studeras genom att granska avkastningen på Stockholmsbörsen i samband med ett terrorattentat. Studien begränsas till att undersöka de kortsiktiga effekterna av nio terrorattentat i OECD länder, där vi exkluderar terrorattentat som inträffat i Sverige. Med utgångspunkt i den effektiva marknadshypoteseThis paper examines the impact of terror attacks on the return of the Swedish financial markets. This is conducted by studying the Stockholm stock exchange. The study is confined to examine the short-term effect of nine terror attacks in OECD countries, where attacks in Sweden is excluded. By using the efficient market hypothesis this paper finds that the reaction on the Stockholm stock exchange d

I denna undersökning som är en kvalitativ studie har jag intervjuat undersköterskor, där syftet är att få en djupare förståelse för deras psykosociala arbetsmiljö. Jag vill även undersöka deras upplevelse av om enhetschefen har någon inverkan på hur deras psykosociala arbetsmiljö ser ut. Fyra personer arbetar inom äldrevården och har sin enhetschef i samma hus och tre arbetar inom psykiatrin med e

Due to technological advances and innovations, the phenomenon of media multitasking and multiscreening, i.e. simultaneous or sequential use of multiple screens, has emerged and become a global trend affecting the consumer behavior. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate how different media and devices impact the Consumer Information Processing Model as the current research within t

Quantum many-body systems can be studied theoretically from first principles using microscopic models, but the computational cost of numerically exact calculations increases exponentially with the number of particles and the complexity of the interaction, limiting the systems that can be analysed. The Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) and quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) methods, heavil

Forskning har visat att sexuell aktivitet gynnar individens fysik, psyke och relationer (Cox, 2009). Det saknas bred forskning kring kvinnans sexualitet, sexuell aktivitet och sexuell tillfredställelse samt subjektivt sexuellt välbefinnande i Sverige. Det var 31 kvinnor, 18-35 år, från Malmö och Lund i Sverige som rekryterades. Utgångspunkten var att utreda om det fanns en samvariation mellan sexuSexual activity has in prior studies been considered valuable to the individual body, mind and relationship (Cox, 2009). There were not much research devoted to sexuality, sexual activity,sexual satisfaction and subjective sexual well being of female individuals in Sweden. Firstly, this study investigated possible covariation between female sexual activity and anxiety, on the one hand, and depress

Den här uppsatsen undersöker hur datorprogrammet Valideratext används i offentlig verksamhet samt om programmet kan sägas göra texter klarspråkiga. Syftet är att undersöka hur ett sådant datorprogram fungerar i myndighetsskribenters skrivprocess. Dessutom syftar uppsatsen till att reda ut huruvida skribenter kan generera klarspråkiga texter med hjälp av datorprogram. I undersökningen har tre metod

För att utvecklas måste vi förändras, därför är förändring en stor del av vardagen. Men hur gör man en förändring effektiv? Syftet med denna rapport är att ta reda på hur man effektiviserar förändringsarbetet på Skanska Asfalt. Bakgrundsteori om ämnet har tagits från forskningslitteratur, medan fakta om förändring på Skanska har tagits från intervjupersoner från Skanska. Rapporten kommer även berö

This paper aims to shed light on whether the newly received government bill "Better criminal tools against organized crime" (prop. 2015/16: 113) can counteract criminal groupings in Sweden. We have done a case study in which we intented to apply the goverment bill prop. 2015/16: 113 on a specific criminal grouping in Malmo. Through this we have studied how this bill according to previous

Nanoscience is an emerging field of technology where the bottom-up fabrication techniques are utilized instead of the traditional top-down approaches for enhancing the performance of di erent optoelectronic devices. One such material is a semicon- ductor nanowire (NW) which holds immense potential in nanophotonic applications, such as solar cells, LEDs, lasers, sensors and photodetectors. In parti
