This study examines different views on digital teaching materials presented in a selection of articles in journals concerning teaching. Using Stephen E. Toulmin's model of argumentation a representative selection of articles is examined and discussed. The theoretical approach takes its departure in Jane Bennets vibrant materialism and thing-power, Friedrich Kittler´s view on the media as an Au
Prisutvecklingen på den svenska bostadsmarknaden har under de senaste åren varit positiv. Lågt bostadsbyggandet i förhållande till befolkningsökningen anses vara en bidragande orsak till den positiva prisutvecklingen. Ett sätt att mäta attraktiviteten på den lokala bostadsmarknaden är Tobins Q. På småhusmarknaden definieras Tobins Q vanligtvis som kvoten mellan ett småhus marknadsvärde och dess iOne way to measure the attractiveness of a local housing market is Tobin’s Q. On the market for single-family housing property, Tobin’s Q is usually defined as the ratio between the market value of the property and its investment cost. This means that the quota can serve as an indicator on whether it is profitable to build a new house or not. The theory states that Tobin’s Q above 1,0 indicates th
Kerguelenöarna är en vulkanisk ögrupp belägen i det södra Indiska oceanen. Öarna ligger på polarfronten samt inom den cirkumpolära Antarktiska strömmen och södra halvklotets västvindsbälte. Detta gör Kerguelenöarna till en intressant plats för klimatstudier. Av denna anledning erhölls en tre meter lång sekvens av sediment från en sjö på ögruppen 2013. Kol-14 datering av sjösedimenten gav ett gåtfuThe Kerguelen archipelago is a volcanic island group in the southern Indian Ocean. It is located on the polar front as well as within the Circumpolar Antarctic Current and the Southern Hemisphere Westerly Wind Belt. This makes it an interesting location for paleoclimate studies. For this reason, a three meter long sediment sequence from a lake on the archipelago was retrieved in 2013. Radiocarbon
Under certain conditions, the crystal phases in III-V semiconductor nanowires can be controlled, opening up the possibility to create polytype heterostructures with atomically sharp interfaces. The focus of this thesis lies on GaAs nanowires exhibiting the wurtzite (wz) and zinc-blende (zb) crystal structure. Since controlled growth of the wz phase of GaAs has only been achieved recently, knowledg
Möjligheten att korrigera den juridiska könstillhörigheten är en process som realiserades under 1970-talet i Sverige genom en specifik könstillhörighetslag. Lagen innebar en viss frigörelse för människor att själva bestämma vilken könsidentitet de identifierade sig med och skulle stå registrerade under i folkbokföringen. Som motprestation ställdes dock ett antal krav på de personer som ville korriThe ability to change the official gender identification was introduced in Sweden, by a particular law regulation, in the beginning of 1970s century. The law meant a certain liberation for people to, independently decide their one gender identity, and which official gender identification they required to get registered into. At the same time, the law also demanded a several conditions in return of
Strategic alignment has been a top concern for executives for the past two decades. The study aims to investigate how the social dimension of strategic alignment is perceived between an IT department and business department. The study consist of three phases, where the first phase includes two semi-structured interviews to define the problem area at the company in focus. By linking the answers giv
Fjärrvärmeledningar vid två lokaler i Ängelholm har undersökts med två geofysiska metoder, markradar och resistivitetsundersökningar. Fjärrvärmeledningar är ständigt utsatta för påverkan av yttre faktor som t.ex. skjuvspänningar, och inre faktorer t.ex. termal expansion. Som följd av dessa faktorer förslits ledningar i varierad takt och läckage kan slutligen uppstå. Ledningsägare önskar att teknikDistrict heating pipes at two localities in Ängelholm have been investigated with two geophysical methods; ground penetrating radar (GPR) and resistivity measurements (ERT, Electrical Resistivity Tomography). District heating pipes are constantly exposed to the influence of external- and internal forces. As a result the pipes degrade over time, and leakage can eventually occur. Management owners h
Antalet barn som flyr till Sverige har under de senaste åren ökat. Dessa barn har rätt till en välfungerande skolgång, men kan stå inför vissa utmaningar. Det här arbetets syfte var att undersöka vilka roller som aktualiseras hos skolpsykologer i arbetet med flyktingbarn, vad dessa roller hade för innehåll och vilka utmaningar som kan uppstå. Studiens resultat baserades på intervjuer med fyra skolThe number of refugee children arriving to Sweden has increased over the past few years. These children have the right to a well functioning school attendance, but can face certain challenges. The aim of this study was to explore the roles that emerged in school psychologists' work with refugee children, what those roles consisted of, and what challenges the school psychologists faced. The res
Background:The research of social science tends in many cases lean towards an approach that focus on negatively influencing factors, rather than health promoting factors from a salutogenic perspective. In the field of criminology, this approach commonly investigates reasons behind criminal behavior instead of studying the salutogenic factors, i.e. reasons why people do not engage in a criminal lif
This thesis explores seven women’s resistance towards refugee hostile agendas in a Swedish municipality, Sjöbo, renowned for its anti-refugee sympathies. Departing from feminist sociology the thesis places emphasis on the interplay between gender and the field of the political by exploring how specific forms of privileged (white) femininity condition, regulate and shape women’s strategies towards
In Sweden, the number of private extracts from the criminal records registry has increased more than five times since 2003. This is largely due to employers’ request for applicants to submit their criminal record if they want to be considered for a job. This is a phenomenon that is intrusive in the applicants’ integrity and it has become a society level problem. The aim of this paper is to describ
Haloacid dehalogenase (HAD)-like hydrolases represent a vast superfamily characterised by their ability to form covalent enzyme-substrate intermediates facilitating the cleavage of C-Cl, C-P, or CO-P bonds. Within this work one member of this superfamily, HAD from Thermotoga neopolitana (HADTn) exhibiting a phosphatase (P-O bond cleavage) like activity was investigated in the context of altering t
Deponerade risker – Gamla soptippar i dagens ljus Länge var det vanligaste sättet att bli av med sopor att deponera dem. Över tid har detta lett till att det idag finns tusentals gamla soptippar i landet. Dessa kan hota grundvatten, åar, bidra till övergödning och exponering av farliga ämnen. Behovet att utreda vilka risker de innebär är stort. Vanliga föroreningar i gamla soptippar är metaller Thousands of disused landfills in Sweden pose a threat to human health and the environment. The most common landfill has received both industrial and municipal waste and contains metals, heavy metals, organic compounds, chlorides and nutrients. This study examines the disused landfills in the most southern municipality in Sweden, Trelleborg. The purpose of this study was to examine what risks the
Denna rapport beskriver utvecklingen av ett koncept för en modulär dörrstation. Målet med projektet var att ta fram och utvärdera flera koncept för att sedan välja ut ett, utveckla det vidare och ta fram en prototyp. Konceptet består av två funktionsmoduler: en kameramodul och en knappsatsmodul. Fokus låg på att visa hur modulerna ser ut, hur de kopplas samman mekaniskt, hur de fästs i väggen samt
This study investigates if, and to what extent, a membership in the EU affects a country’s economic growth. The aim is to find out if an EU-membership leads to a permanent effect on economic growth, a temporary effect the first ten years after entering the EU, and if the fact that the growing number of members in the EU has any effect on economic growth. Panel data is used to estimate nine regress
Under havsytan i Hanöbukten vid Haväng på Skånes östkust finns lämningar från ett tidigholocent landskap bevarade. Lämningarna består bl.a. av gyttjor som har avsatts vid lågvattenperioder efter yoldia- respektive ancylusregressionen (11 700-8 000 cal BP). I gyttjorna finns stammar och stubbar bevarade som är daterade till havsnivåsänkningen vid yoldiaregressionen. Flera undersökningar har tidigar
Sambandet mellan extroversion och subjektivt välbefinnande är ett ämne som många har undersökt men som fortfarande inte är helt tydligt. Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka i vilken mån social önskvärdhet är sammanblandat i korrelationen för extroversion och subjektivt välbefinnande. Resultaten baserades på 204 deltagares svar på ett standard personlighetstest, ett evaluativt neutraliseraThe connection between extraversion and subjective well-being is a well-researched subject, which, however, remains unclear. Our aim with this study was to examine to what extent social desirability is compounded with the correlation of extraversion and subjective well-being. The results are based on 204 participants’ responses in a standard personality test, a neutralized personality test and fou
In this master’s thesis I examine two discursive figures that have especially caught my attention in media texts, and that I have found are closely connected to each other. I call them childhood libraries and childhood reading experiences. In this thesis I study how childhood is working performatively and rhetorically together with library and reading in the discursive figures, and in what way the
