Aerosols are one of the significant factors influencing climate, environment, and human health. They are categorized into anthropogenic and natural sources. In Sweden, natural aerosol sources of high coarse mode particle mass concentrations for particles larger than 1 µm in diameter include sea spray, primary biogenic particles, and dust particles. The dust particles can be agricultural soil and m

This qualitative study investigates how formalization of private property rights through titling affects poverty dynamics in urban informal settlements in Jamaica, a small “developing” state. It relies on a case study to explore the impact of titling on tenure security, housing investment, access to credit, and gender poverty and the factors that support or constrain titling initiatives. Given the

This thesis presents an in-depth investigation into the behaviour of two distinct industrial material systems under specialized conditions: diamond tools machining titanium alloys and the annealing of alumina-forming steels. The observation of two sub-projects was finished by two state-of-the-art synchrotron facilities FlexPES and MAXPEEM respectively at the MAX IV laboratory. The study elucidates

Encouraging Innovation and Research and Development stands as a priority of the EU and it is considered a cornerstone of economic growth and prosperity, but can it be promoted at any price? Due to the increasing importance of intangible assets in international trade, multinational corporations have been setting the transfer prices for intra-group transactions of such assets resorting to tax plann

This thesis contributes to the literature on household energy usage by investigating wood fuel heating among households through the theoretical lens of the energy cultures framework, with Serbia as a case study. Air pollution levels in Serbia are among the highest in Europe, placing a heavy burden on the health of Serbian residents and causing environmental harm. Household heating represents a maj

In this master's thesis I will study library space in its practical use in relation to the professionals working in it daily, i.e. the library staff. It seems that this profession should have a unique knowledge base around how the library is used and how space can be organised to benefit the users, the staff and the collections. The library is closely connected to and affected by society and s

Vi har undersökt ledarskap och betydelsen av sociala interaktioner ur ensemblelärares perspektiv. Syftet med vår studie är att undersöka hur ensemblelärare arbetar med sociala interaktioner och gruppdynamik i undervisningen. Studien utgår från lärare som arbetar, eller har arbetat, med ensembleundervisning på gymnasial nivå. Därav har vi utformat forskningsfrågorna: Hur resonerar lärare kring sin We have examined leadership and the significance of social interactions from the perspective of ensemble teachers. The purpose of our study is to investigate how ensemble teachers work with social interaction and group dynamics in education. The study is based on teachers who work, or have worked, with ensemble teaching at high school level. Hence, we have formulated the research questions: How do

Konstnärligt uttryck är en väsentlig del av musikutövandet och påverkar hur vi upplever musik såväl som vilka musikaliska val vi tar, ofta baserat på vilken genre vi är inom. Begreppet används i syftesbeskrivningen för musikämnet på gymnasiet och i betygskriterierna rangordnas begreppet utefter kvalitét, utan att definiera vad konstnärligt uttryck innebär. Syftet med denna studie är därför att undArtistic expression is an essential part of musical practices and affects how we perceive music as well as the musical choices we make, often based on what genre we are playing. In Sweden, the term artistic expression is used to describe the purpose of musical practice at high school level and in the criteria for grades, the term is graded based on quality.

Följande studie handlar om hur lärare genomför bedömning på gymnasieskolor med och utan körprofil i kursen Ensemble med körsång (Skolverket, 2010a). Nyfikenheten kring ämnet tar utgångspunkt från vår gemensamma körbakgrund och upplevelsen om att många musiklärare uttrycker en viss svårighet med att bedöma elever inom körsång. Syftet för studien blir således att undersöka lärares tillvägagångssätt The following study explores how teachers conduct assessment in Swedish upper secondary schools with and without a choir profile in the course Ensemble with Choral Singing (Skolverket, 2010a). The curiosity about the subject is based on our background in choral singing and that our perception is that the experience amongst many music teachers is that there is a certain difficulty in assessing stud
