Validering av nya utbildningar är sedan länge väletablerat inom den högre utbildningen i UK. De senaste åren har intresset ökat i Europa för validering och ett system har nylien införts i Nederländerna. Med validering avses bedömning av nya utbildningar (speciellt utbildningsprogram, degree courses), vad det gäller utbildningens innehåll, mål och resurser, för att avgöra om utbildningen kan genomf

Data was collected from five evacuations from the same school building, conducted in Spain between 2011 and 2014. Children from 6 to 16 years old were observed during the evacuation exercises. Four of the evacuations were unannounced, while one was semi-announced: the staff being aware that the drill would be conducted on a particular day, while the students were unaware. Information was gathered

Current research on slipperiness of footwear has mainly focused on floors and lubricated floors. Slips and falls on icy and snowy surfaces involve not only outdoor workers, but also pedestrians and the general public; and occur in cold regions and in winter season in many parts of the world. However, in comparison with the size of the problem, research on slips and falls on icy and snowy surfaces

Abstract in German:Die Debatte um die „devirilization“ des katholischen Lebens und die Theorie einer Feminisierung des Christentums im 19. Jahrhundert bildet der Startpunkt dieser Studie über Liturgie und Männlichkeit in der katholischen Mission in Skandinavien. Es geht hier um die Liturgie als ein räumlich situiertes Instrument symbolischer Kommunikation und Genderideologien aber auch um die ManiAbstract in German:Die Frage der Feminisierung des Christentums ist eine seit dem Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts heiß umstrittene Frage, die in neuerer Zeit auch von der historischen Forschung aufgegriffen wurde und nunmehr den Status einer Meistererzählung hat. In der bürgerlichen Kulturelite wurde, wie viele Studien gezeigt haben, das Christentum zunehmend mit Weiblichkeit und femininen Werten verb

Lunds universitets Medicinska fakultet bedriver genom sitt Centrum för Undervisning och Lärande (MedCUL) behörighetsgivande högskoleutbildning för fakultetens lärare. MedCUL har uppdragit åt Pedagogiska institutionen (numera Sociologiska institutionen, avdelningen för pedagogik) att utvärdera utbildningen. Syftet med utvärderingen har varit att indirekt studera den aktuella utbildningen med avseen

This article discusses trans gender and queer theory.

The special case of reconstruction from image sequences taken by cameras with skew equal to 0 and aspect ratio equal to 1 has been treated. These type of cameras, here called cameras with Euclidean image planes, represent rigid projections where neither the principal point nor the focal length is known, it is shown that it is possible to reconstruct an unknown object from images taken by a camera

The telencephalon is the most rostral part of the vertebrate central nervous system and is comprised of a number of structures important for voluntary movements and higher cognitive processes. This thesis focuses on the genetic mechanisms that control development of a number of telencephalic structures: the olfactory bulb, the striatum as well as the lateral and basolateral nuclei of the amygdala.

Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) constitute important democratic institutions, providing citizens with an independent analysis on how the Governmental Offices and the central public administration function. This paper reports on findings from a survey, submitted to all performance auditors at the Swedish SAI, on 3 May, 2011. The response rate was 70 per cent (65 out of 93 respondents). The survey

Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert chemical energy into electricity. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are a particularly interesting type because they can reform hydrocarbon fuels directly within the cell, which are possible thanks to their high operating temperature. The purpose of this study is to develop an anode-supported SOFC theoretical model, to enhance the understanding of t
