Kan inte ni gå in i byggis? Förskolepedagogers interaktion med förskolebarn utifrån ett genusperspektiv.

Många barn i Sverige tillbringar en stor del av sina dagar på förskola där många av deras sociala erfarenheter och utveckling äger rum. Kognitiv social inlärningsteori förespråkar att barnet lär sig genom att imitera och härma vuxna och utifrån detta skapa kognitiva scheman som används för att tolka omvärlden. Barnen härmar de vuxnas beteende, vilket gör att pedagoger på en förskola besitter en vi

Are Indigenous Farmers’ Investments Under Siege? Implications of farmer-herder conflicts and threats to customary land tenure on indigenous farmers’ agricultural investment decisions in Agogo, Ghana.

Owing to structural factors of climate change and population growth, the past decade has witnessed high interest among migrant and settler pastoralist groups in the vegetal-rich customary lands of the Agogo Traditional Area. This has resulted in lease grants of large land areas to pastoralists by traditional authorities and usufruct families, for reasons of ensuring optimum use and gaining the hig

Construction and Characterization of a Confocal Setup for Functionalization of Light Emitting Diodes and Laser Diodes Using an Amorphous Nonlinear Medium

A confocal microscope is built to examine molecular powders, and in particular the (PhSn)_4S_6 cluster, that emits white light when irradiated with infrared laser light. The confocal microscope operating at long working distances is assembled and characterized. The components of the setup are first chosen according to requirements of the planned experiment. Thereafter, the microscope is assembled

Some Aspects of Elementary Lie Theory

Det här arbetet ger en enkel introduktion till teorin för så kallade Lie-grupper (uppkallade efter den norske matematikern Sophus Lie), som är en slags matematiska objekt som befinner sig i gränslandet mellan två av matematikens huvudområden: geometri och algebra. Å ena sidan kan Lie-grupper betraktas som släta mångfalder, vilket betyder att de är kurvor, ytor eller högre-dimensionella analoger In this work, we present some of the basic concepts and constructions in the theory of matrix Lie groups. For each matrix Lie group, we use the matrix exponential to construct a Lie algebra, and we then use the matrix exponential to show how different properties of the Lie group affect the Lie algebra and vice versa. In particular, we use the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula to prove a one-to-one

Applying Lean Analytics to Performance Metrics in M&A Earnouts

Ever since the dawn of internet, a new wave of fast-growing software companies has emerged. The M&A scholars have struggled to find appropriate valuation mechanisms for unprofitable companies with ultra-high revenue growth. To overcome the uncertain future, a contractual provision called earnout is often used. An earnout is a contractual provision in a M&A-deal that states the seller of th
