Despite some evidence that the father’s role is particularly crucial for the child’s academic experiences and performance, only a few studies have examined influences of father involvement and the child’s attachment security on the child’s self-beliefs, sense of school belongingness and academic achievement, and the focus has been mostly on Western cultures. The present study investigated these li

The breakdown of plastics in our oceans is one of our times biggest challenges. What happens when these plastics are broken down into pieces too small to see is still a mystery. Nanoplastics is a relatively new area of research and much more studies need to be done before we can get a perspective of how big the problem is. To be able to study these plastics we need a way to attain nanoplastic samp

The Danish asylum system has experienced radical changes during 2019 in regards to asylum and refugee rights with the right-wing governing coalition’s introduction of Act 140.

Instead of disregarding triple-wins, researchers have suggested they could be used as building blocks in the emerging pathways literature, therefore accounting for a broader set of goals

5G supports enormous increase in data rate. Massive antenna beamforming is expected to play a key role in increasing capacity in case of multi-user MIMO and coverage in case of single-user MIMO. The large number of antennas in massive MIMO system will lead to enormous amount of channel state information being stored in the memory and this necessitates the use of compression techniques for efficien

When an internet user opens a web page containing an advertising slot, how is it determined which ad is shown? Today, the most common software-based approach to trading advertising slots is real time bidding: as soon as the user begins to load the web page, an auction for the slot is held in real time, and the highest bidder gets to display their advertisement of choice. Auction bidding is perform

Förhöjda halter koldioxid! Hur dåligt är det egentligen? Inledning: Flera forskare har i egna studier kommit fram till att koldioxid har en negativ effekt på hälsa och prestation. Vår atmosfär är en av faktorerna som gör att vi kan leva här på jorden. Atmosfären består till stor del av kväve (78%) och syre (21%) och lite över en procent andra gaser. Bland dessa gaser förekommer koldioxid. KoldioThis study’s purpose was to try and study whether Carbon Dioxide in indoor environments (schools and offices) affect performance and health in students and office workers in terms of mental effects and Sick Building Syndrome.
