Traditionally, multi-family houses have been constructed using heavy, homogenous materials like concrete and masonry. But as a consequence of the progress of lightweight building systems during the last decades, it has been questioned whether standardized sound insulation evaluation methods still are appropriate. An extensive measurement template has been applied in a field survey where several vi

Syftet med examensarbetet är att studera ledarskapet och ledarens roll i förändringsarbetet mot ett klimatneutralt byggande. I studien utreds vilka faktorer som driver förändringsarbetet mot ett klimatneutralt byggande och hur miljöarbetet kan bli mer attraktivt för anställda i svenska byggföretag. Studien har utförts på ett fallföretag och ett av deras projekt i produktionsfasen.

I dagens samhälle har vi ett mer flexibelt arbetsliv än tidigare och människor byter jobb i större utsträckning. Tidigare forskning har visat att en ökad self-efficacy och arbetstillfredsställelse leder till positiva följder för anställda. Dessutom har tidigare studier visat på en korrelation mellan self-efficacy och job satisfaction. Det finns dock en begränsad mängd studier om occupational self-In today’s society we have a more flexible work life than before and people change jobs in a greater extent. Previous research has indicated that an increased level of self-efficacy and job satisfaction leads to positive consequenses for the employees. Furthermore, research has proven a correlation between self-efficacy and job satisfaction. However, the amount of research on occupational self-eff

This research project presents an example of how students and teachers can work together to analyze Of Mice and Men. In this paper, critical theory is used as a form of scaffolding, in order to both develop students’ Theory of Mind (ToM) and make canonical literature more accessible. The research questions answered in this paper are concerned with asking how critical theory can be applied to the n

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka olika oboepedagogers förhållningssätt till att undervisa i notläsning med fokus på deras pedagogiska metoder och strategier. Arbetet grundar sig på semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra olika oboepedagoger i Sverige. Att ta reda på vilka arbetssätt studiens informanter finner effektiva och väl fungerande samt vilka hinder och problem som kan upp

This essay examined the connection between human experience and the interpretation of literature. The aims were to find out how expectations, experiences and knowledge colour our interpretations, and to get an understanding of how the meaning of literature is created and mirrored by the reader. Previous studies have been made on reader-response theory, but studies that focus on teacher-student rel

I svensk processrätt gäller principen om fri bevisprövning. Denna princip innefattar dels fri bevisföring, dels fri bevisvärdering. Fri bevisvärdering innebär att domstolen är fritt får värdera åberopad bevisning. Denna frihet innebär emellertid inte att värderingen inte måste redovisas. Enligt 30 kap. 5 § första stycket 5 rättegångsbalken (RB) ska rätten i domskälen ange vad som är bevisat, vilke

The C3 glomerulopathies are a group of rare kidney diseases characterized by complement dysregulation occurring in the fluid phase and in the glomerular microenvironment, which results in prominent complement C3 deposition in kidney biopsy samples. The two major subgroups of C3 glomerulopathy — dense deposit disease (DDD) and C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) — have overlapping clinical and pathologica

The radiocarbon concentration of different atherosclerotic plaque fragments obtained from 20 patients in Portugal, operated in 2000-2001, has been measured in order to define the year of plaque formation. A difference of 1.8-15 yr was observed, with the mean and median both 9 yr, between the bomb-pulse date estimated with the CALIBomb software and the operation date. Stable isotope (delta C-13 and

Around 90% of the energy requirement for urban water systems management is for heating domestic tap water. In addition, the energy content of wastewater is mainly in the form of heat (85%). Hence, there is an obvious interest in recovering a large portion of this heat. However, city-wide scenario analyses that evaluate heat recovery at various locations while considering impacts on wastewater trea

Previous research showed that living closer to bus stops could be a factor in promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. However, most of the studies relied on self-reported measures of distance, which might be affected by several confounders. In this study, self-reported distances among study participants were compared to actual ones, computed by the use of GIS (Geographic Information System) tech

Purpose: Forensic populations have high prevalence rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACE), but specific pathways from childhood victimization to adult victimizing behavior remain unclear. Difficulties in emotion regulation may prove to be a more proximal risk factor that functions as a pathway between ACE and aggressive antisocial behavior (AAB). In this study, we investigated concurrent ass

The sex trade is a market in constant change and, as a result of digitalization, has been given different conditions in the form of new arenas, conditions, and risks. This study aims to shed light on how women who have lived in prostitution describe the sex trade, focusing on how they describe power and control in the different areas of the sex trade. We have taken our empirical material from four

In the background of intensifying global climate change and rapid urbanisation, the frequent occurrence of extreme hydrological events and the increase in surface pollution pose serious challenges to the environmental quality of water bodies. Moreover, with the significant increase in public awareness of environmental protection, higher demands have been placed on water quality monitoring techniqu
