Pedagogiska spel har blivit ett allt vanligare inslag i grundskolans undervisning. För att eleverna ska få en bra spelupplevelse är det viktigt att läraren förstår spelreglerna fullt ut och därför behöver lärarhandledningar utformas på ett läsvänligt sätt. Denna undersökning syftar till att testa två olika dispositioner för en lärarhandledning till ett läsfrämjande spel för skolklasser. Nio lärare
Denna teoretiska essä undersöker hur den strukturella och subjektiva relationen till mildare former av ’psykisk ohälsa’ kännetecknade för senmoderniteten är betingad en ökad rationalisering. Analysen utgår huvudsakligen från Hartmut Rosas teorier om modernitet och Nikolas Rose teorier om psykiatrins spridning. Psykiatrins växande omfång och attraktionskraft tolkas genom flera teoretiska begrepp, sThis theoretical essay explores how the structural and subjective relationship to milder forms of ‘mental illness’ characteristic of late modernity is conditioned by rationalization. This analysis is mainly operated through Hartmut Rosa's theories on modernity and Nikolas Roses's theory on psychiatrization. The essay interprets the growing prominence and appeal of psychiatry through severa
In modern information technology there is an increase in demand for high-speed communication. Looking at the popular applications of AI and machine learning, a trend is to implement dedicated hardware accelerators for faster and more efficient computing. However this puts more of a demand on the ability to transfer the large amounts of data in the form of weights, input data and results to and fro
Mikrovågsresonatorer används inom supraledande kvantsystem för avläsning och manipulation av kvantkomponenter. I avhandlingen analyseras en sådan där gränsdragningen mellan foton och exciterad ’atom’ börjar suddas ut i dessa system. De senaste decennierna har supraledande kretsar och komponenter haft stort intresse inom forskningen. Det finns flera orsaker till detta; bland annat tack vare att deThis thesis models a superconducting device, known as a Transmon, from the perspective of a microwave resonator. The work is motivated by Ref. 1, where such a device was realised and characterised by its resonator properties, showing that it can be viewed as a high-impedance resonator. In the thesis, the resonator is symmetrically connected to two transmission lines: one input port and one output
Thesis Purpose: This thesis aims to explore the construction and dynamics of 'dupe culture' as an emergent digital consumer culture, examining its implications for brand authenticity, consumer identity, and branding within the digital age. Theoretical perspective: The study takes on a consumer culture perspective, using the Circuit of Culture (Du Gay et al. 1997) and insights from scholars
The High Luminosity-Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will reach an approximate pile-up of 200 collisions per bunch crossing, ten times more than the current Large Hadron Collider. Beginning operation at the end of the decade, it will accumulate 3000 fb−1, increasing the chances of observing new processes and allowing measurement of rare processes with higher precision. Moreover, the pile-up increase
Rennet coagulation ability of milk is of utmost importance in cheese manufacturing industry since it is directly related to cheese quality and yield, then translated into economic benefit. This study examined the rennet coagulation ability and composition of milk from individual Swedish Red (SR) cows, the second most common dairy breed in Sweden. Additionally, the study explored how the presence o
I en allt varmare värld där resurserna börjar ta slut är behovet av mer miljövänliga material och bränslen större än någonsin. Kan kolhydrater, ett av naturens mest förekommande organiska material, vara en del av lösningen för ett mer hållbart samhälle? Kolhydrater består av en eller flera sammansatta sockermolekyler. Det finns en mängd olika varianter av kolhydrater som används inom allt från mPolysaccharides are a versatile group of biopolymers widely utilized in a range of industries, from food and medicine to construction. Engineering of the enzymes involved in the synthesis of polysaccharides could provide a way to chemically modify the composition, and therefore be used as a tool to obtain polysaccharides with new desired properties. In this thesis, the substrate binding to the don
The international framework for the regulation of outer space activities that has been in place since the 1960s has come under increasing pressure in recent years. Concerns over the weaponization and militarization of outer space have grown more vocal and attempts to introduce new international agreements have fallen short. Within this context, the present study analyzes Chinese media discourse on
Energy transition is crucial to mitigate the impacts of climate change globally. Solar energy, particularly through photovoltaic (PV) technology, plays a critical role in this transition. Innovation within the solar PV industry is essential, and policy support, especially government subsidies, is crucial for its technological advancement. This study focuses on China’s solar PV industry given its l
This thesis analyses the evolution of the Japan-EU and Japan-NATO bilateral relationships over the last two decades from the Japanese point of view. I used the International Relations theories of Realism, Liberalism and Constructivism to explain why and how these actors engage in cooperation. Thus, I tackled various topics such as trade, security, defence, technology, norm-making, and ideology. T
This thesis analyses collective memory in Contemporary Asian Societies through historical movies. It takes a borderless approach to infer the perception of the past in the Asian continent, filling the gap in a field mostly dominated by case studies. Asian historical movies are used as the data source of the analysis, following the historiophoty framework designed by White(1988) and Rosenstone (198
Since 2020, the crackdown on LGBTQ+ activism in China has further intensified.

This thesis found that activists attribute the difficulties they encounter to governm
This thesis explores the profound impact of danmei consumption on Chinese women born between the 1990s and 2000s based on the employment of Simon de Beauvoir’s feminist existentialism theory. It highlights how danmei narratives — often perceived as misogynistic - challenged traditional gender norms and empowered female readers according to the perspectives of female fans. By examining these fans’

Background: Logistics within the food industry have been under increased pressure in recent years due to factors such as the invasion of Ukraine and Covid-19. This has put additional focus on efficiency throughout the supply chain, including warehousing activities. Warehousing has historically often been seen as a burden as it provides limited value-adding activities which means organizations cons
Inom bioakustiken studeras ljud i naturen. Ljudbilden ger en inblick i ekosystemets mående, inte minst avslöjas vilka djurarter som rör sig i närområdet. Ljudinspelningar kan därmed användas för att studera biodiversitet, vilket blir en mer och mer akut fråga. Inspelningarna som används i sammanhanget är långa, ibland flera månader långa. Det är därför inte möjligt för en biolog att manuellt lyssBioacoustic sound event detection (SED) is a critical field for biodiversity monitoring, yet the high cost of annotating data poses significant challenges.
