The education system in Guatemala is facing a lot of difficulties with low educational standards, a lack of teachers and facilities and a curriculum not equal or adjusted to the needs of all students. The largest problem occurs outside the system - children who don’t get access to education due to poverty. The largest group out of school is represented by Guatemala’s indigenous population in rura

Integrering av historia i fysikundervisningen har undersökts länge och i stor omfattning internationellt. Det finns ett brett stöd för att det kan ha många önskvärda effekter på elevers lärande och motivation. Denna positiva bild verkar inte delas helt av fysiklärare och det framkommer att det finns många utmaningar med att integrera fysikhistoria i undervisningen. Syftet med denna uppsats var attIntegration of history of physics (HOP) in the teaching of physics has been studied for a long time and to a great extent. There is a widespread support of the fact that history of physics can have many desirable effects on students learning and motivation. This positive picture is seemingly not shared completely among physic teachers and to implement history to the physics classroom has been show

My research thesis is a search for a place to be, a place that would make the city an easier place to live and experience, when we are either constantly surrounded by a tumultuous public or isolated at home. My search has led me to define a place that could provide simultaneously Space and Time to bridge what is missing in both the public and the private. What is there left, not linked to commerc

The term Worst Credible Process Fire (WCPF) was introduced to the Norwegian Petroleum Industry as a complement to the probabilistic approach to define design loads for offshore facilities. Currently there are mainly two documents about the WCPF being the SINTEF report (2017) and the definition in NORSOK S-001 (2018). The WCPF concept have only been used within the industry for a few years and comb

Målbilder och berättelsers betydelse för integreringen av målbilder för hållbara transporter Sveriges klimatmål inom transportsektorn innebär att mängden koldioxidutsläpp inom transporter ska minska drastiskt de kommande åren. Utsläppen från inrikes transporter, exklusive inrikes flyg, ska minska med minst 70% senast år 2030 jämfört med 2010 (Naturvårdsverket, 2018). Som klimatstrategiskt verktyAs a climate tool, investments in pedestrian, bicycle and public transport can be important for reducing climate emissions while investments in these sustainable modes of transport can have more effects to achieve other sustainability goals such as public health, reduced noise, greener outdoor environments, reduced particle emissions and space for creative urban planning. How does a selection of S

Ice Nucleation Proteins (INP) are integral membrane proteins that aid in forming ice crystals. As the name suggests INP help form ice crystals by forming the nucleus around which water molecules align themselves. Under favourable conditions, these water molecules freeze when associated with the protein. INP are present in numerous organisms, the focus of this project, however, was INP from the bac

Using trade data from the UNCTAD for 31 countries from 2000 to 2016, this study examines the success of the ASEAN-Korea FTA (AKFTA) by measuring the effect on import performance among member countries. A modified gravity model has been used to address both the issues of unobserved multilateral resistance terms and endogeneity biases to obtain consistent and efficient estimation results. The eviden

The Brazilian LGBT movement has established in the last decades a strategy of action based on the achievement of social transformations through law. The struggle for human rights has become the focal point of the LGBT agenda in the country. For this reason, the linkages between the Brazilian LGBT movement and the law have multiplied. Having the objective of reflecting on the articulations arising

Medellivslängden för människor runt om i världen är högre än någonsin. Äldre personer löper högre risk för att drabbas av kroniska sjukdomar, inklusive kronisk njursjukdom. Patienter med dysfunktionella njurar behöver dialys. Njurarnas huvudfunktion är att rena blodet från restprodukter och överflödigt vatten. År 2018 hade Sverige 4101 dialyspatienter av vilka 1026 hade hemdialys. En dialyspatientThe average life expectancy for people around the world is higher than ever before. Older people are at higher risk of suffering from chronic diseases, including chronic kidney disease. Patients with dysfunctional kidneys need dialysis. The main function of the kidneys is to clean the blood from waste products and excess water. In 2018, Sweden had 4101 dialysis patients of which 1026 had home dial

Det råder en utbredd bostadsbrist i Sverige, 243 av 288 svenska kommuner uppgav 2018 att de har ett stort behov av bostäder. För att lindra detta underskott krävs det att nya bostäder uppförs både med traditionella metoder men även att nya kreativa lösningar implementeras. En sådan kreativ lösning är förtätning i stadskärnor genom påbyggnad på befintliga hus. Denna förtätningslösning är idag dock

In the last decade, there has been a substantial shift from actively managed funds to funds with passive investment strategies. This shift was also observed by Shleifer (1986), who identified that passive investment funds began to significantly increase their ownership of the S&P 500 in the period between 1975 and 1983. As the ownership of the stock market increased as the number of index fund

Bakterier som lever i vatten brukar ta sig fram med hjälp av långa trådliknande utskott,så kallade flageller. Denna simteknik är väldigt annourlunda jämfört med det vi oftast ser i vår omvärld, att simma med fenor eller åror är nämligen inte särskilt effektivt för bakterier. Detta har att göra med vattnets radikalt annourlunda hydrodynamiska egenskaper på mikroskalan. Man brukar tala om det så kalMicroswimmer is a term that denotes small selfpropelling agents, such as bacteria, algea or artificial robots. Depending on the flow field they set up they can be categorized into two classes: pushers (e.g. E. coli ) and pullers (e.g C. reinhardtii ). The occurrence of jets, eddies and flocking have been observed in systems of dens pusher suspension. This phenomenon is called active turbulence. Th
