Matematikundervisning med interfolierat lärande

I detta arbete undersöks hur interfolierat lärande i matematikundervisningen påverkar elevernas prestationer inom ämnet och hur eleverna upplever undervisning i praktiken. Interfolierat lärande innebär att eleverna undervisas genom att metoder och områden blandas istället för det traditionella där områden oftast behandlas enskilt. I matematiken kan detta innebära att uppgifter från olika områden b

International retailers as a main force for sustainability

PurposeThis study investigates how global retailers develop sustainability through network interactions that influence institutionalized sustainability perceptions. The findings enable retailers to drive sustainability systematically and understand the critical internal and external issues.Design/methodology/approachThe study investigates how retailers can work to increase support for sustainabili

Just urban space : street art and spatial justice

This chapter presents the notion of spatial justice as a way of considering the relationship between law and street art in a manner beyond the legal/illegal dichotomy. Through a series of empirical examples, it is demonstrated how street art literally takes a place already taken and imposes itself in an already appropriated urban public space. Street art thus ´redefines the space in contestation t

Transformation and resilience in times of change: A historical perspective

Our current historical moment is marked by a widespread sense of (ongoing and anticipated) crises, prompting calls to change existing economic, political, social, and environmental systems. This discourse has directed increased scholarly and policy-orientated attention to the concepts of “transformation” and “resilience.” However,beyond attention, these concepts have increasingly adopted a place iOur current historical moment is marked by a widespread sense of (ongoing and anticipated) crises, prompting calls to change existing economic, political, social, and environmental systems.

ASIC implementation exploration for EfficientNet optimizations

Neural networks are effective for solving many complex human-level tasks, one type of neural network often used in imaging tasks is the convolutional neural network (CNN). They can effectively solve problems in areas like image recognition, object detection, and classification tasks. Using a CNN for one of these tasks requires a huge computational cost relative to what a typical algorithm would ha

Dynamic modelling of power cycles for Small Modular Reactors

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) present a transformative approach to nuclear energy, offering enhanced cost-effectiveness and ease of implementation compared to traditional large-scale reactors. This study investigates the dynamic behavior of the steam cycle within SMRs using Simscape MATLAB for simulation. The research focuses on understanding the thermodynamic principles and fluid dynamics that go

High Caveolin-1 mRNA expression in triple-negative breast cancer is associated with an aggressive tumor microenvironment, chemoresistance, and poor clinical outcome

BACKGROUND: Currently, there are few treatment-predictive and prognostic biomarkers in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is linked to chemoresistance and several important processes involved in tumor progression and metastasis, such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Herein, we report that high CAV1 gene expression is an independent factor of poor prognosis in TNBC.M

An Analysis of the Swedish Intraday Market

To fully decarbonise the energy system, electrification is needed as one of the most important strategies for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in Sweden and Europe. The deployment of renewable energy resources plays a central role in electrification and will continue to increase. In January 2024, Svenska Kraftnät published a long-term market analysis with four future scenarios regarding the devel

Klimatpåverkan av byggnad uppförd i olika energiklasser - En jämförelse med avseende på material och uppvärmningsenergi

Bakgrund: 2021 stod bygg- och fastighetssektorn för nästan 22% av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. Sedan 2006 finns ett lagkrav om att den som låter uppföra en byggnad även ska ansvara för att upprätta en energideklaration. Lagen syftar till att främja ett effektivt energianvändande för att på så sätt minska utsläppen av växthusgaser. Sveriges el- och energiproduktion står endast för 8 % aIn 2021, the construction and management phase of buildings accounted for nearly 22% of Sweden's total greenhouse gas emissions. Since 2006, there has been a law requiring that whoever constructs a building is also responsible for declaring the energy use of the building. The purpose of the law is to promote efficient energy use in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Sweden's electri

Non-linear high impedance resonators enabling fast charge detection

Ultrasnabba laddningsmätningar i kvantsystem Detektorer byggda med olinjära mikrovågsresonatorer möjliggör ultrasnabb avläsning av kvantkomponenter. Dessa detektorer är av stort intresse för utvecklingen av kvantdatorer. Framtidens kvantdatorer forskars om idag. Deras minsta beståndsdel - kvantbiten - har flera implementeringar gjorda med supraledande komponenter. I supraledande kvantkomponenterThis thesis explores fast charge detection, enabled by the use of quantum dots and non-linear high impedance resonators. In particular, the non-linearities of the resonator are utilized to yield a strong readout from the quantum dot detector. With a strong signal, faster integration times are possible. One of the most useful techniques for fast electrical readout is measuring impedance changes. Th
