Studien syftar också till att undersöka hur rytmikpedagogerna relaterar lärande till utforskande och vilka faktorer som kan påverkar detta. För studien genomfördes fem semistrukturerade intervjuer med rytmikpedagoger, viThis study aims to examine how teachers of eurythmics describe and relate to the concept of exploration in their teaching, as well as examine how this exploration takes place in their teaching. The study also examines how teachers relate learning to exploration and what factors may have an impact on this. For the study, five semi-structured interviews were done with eurythmic teachers, who teach a

Bakgrund: Kommunikation är ett samspel mellan människor. Kommunikationen, både verbal och ickeverbal använder arbetsterapeuter för att möjliggöra betydelsefulla vardagsaktiviteter för klienten. Syfte: Studien genomfördes för att kartlägga den beskrivna kommunikationen mellan arbetsterapeut och klient med livsomvälvande sjukdom ur ett österländskt och västerländskt arbetsterapeutiskt perspektiv. MeBackground: Communication is an interaction between people. Occupational therapists use communication, both verbal and nonverbal to enable important everyday activities for the client. Purpose: The study was implemented in order to chart the described communication between the occupational therapist and the client with life- changing illness from an eastern and western occupational therapeutic per

To reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases by local efforts, physical planning plays an essential part. It can have a great impact on our greenhouse gas emissions, by deciding important things as transport and energy planning. This study aims to examine the role of municipal comprehensive planning in the work to reduce greenhouse gases. The study is based on a case study of Lund municipality, car

With regards to increased research on the formative use of assessment rubrics and its effects on performance, this study highlights the need for more research on rubrics’ effects on different kinds of motivation. Therefore, the study aims to investigate possible effects of implementing explicit assessment rubrics on L2 motivation in an EFL classroom. The study is quasi-experimental, which means th

This study focuses on the topic of education and economic growth. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between education and economic growth amongst the OECD member countries. What sets this study apart from a lot of the research is the inclusion of both quantitative and qualitative measures of education. This is done by using theory and previous research as a foundation to con

The purpose of this study is to examine if the cognitive load that is induced from different degrees of text complexity in scientific abstracts has an influence on how often the study will get cited. While the influence of cognitive load is well documented in research of activities such as attention allocation, decision making and reading comprehension, it is not known whether such effects can als

Food waste, within the wider phenomenon of resource waste, has become a global issue due to its direct impact on climate change. Food redistribution via food banks is highlighted as a waste reduction strategy because it not only tackles the environmental impact from food production, but also provides food security to vulnerable people by redistributing the discarded food from food industries to so

Sustainability philosophers claim that we are at the impasse of stories, finding ourselves in a blank chapter between the old and the new. The old story, characterized by separation, technological arrogance and human superiority over nature, is unfolding in an ecological crisis giving space for a new narrative defined by inter being, cooperation and balance. It has been put forward that this crisi

March 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declare the virus outbreak Covid19 as a pandemic. To prevent further outbreak, the Norwegian government has implemented the most drastic measures in Norway during peacetime. All schools have been forced to lock down, the number of unemployment has increased, and the population is encouraged to stay at home and keep social distance. In light of the cri

Waste management and waste prevention are strong focal points for the EU in its transition towards sustainable development. In recent years, several policy actions were launched targeting, especially, the municipal waste generation. However, the differences in the quality and circularity of members’ waste management systems are considerable. In this scenario, the thesis investigates whether corrup

The use of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has a great potential in the pharmaceutical field due to its many advantages such as biocompatibility, low toxicity and biodegradability. Studies have also shown that proteins can be successfully incorporated into DESs. However, protein stability and structure in these solvents need to be investigated for this technology to be applicable. When adding the pr

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is nowadays suggested as a fourth (quaternary) treatment step at municipal wastewater treatment plants to remove certain chemicals and particularly organic micropollutants (OMPs). This work investigated the different factors that affect the performance of the GAC filter for the removal of micropollutants in a municipal wastewater treatment plant. This study is purel

Sweden faces an upcoming period where thousands of buildings built during the million program period will be in need of a façade renovation. There is a large energy-saving potential in these buildings, since they are often poorly insulated and often have a ventilation system without heat recovery. Performing energy-efficient renovation measures to a building are expensive, which results in that th

This essay investigates the online L2 processing of restricted collocations and figurative idioms. Earlier research has shown there to be a difference in how these word combinations are processed depending on a variety of factors. In this study a self-paced reading experiment is administered to 15 second language learners of English (L1 Swedish) where their reading time is measured by DMDX softwar

Bioplastics are a promising alternative for petroleum-based plastics that today is on high demand in our contemporary lifestyles. They are made from biopolymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Producing biopolymers from waste material feedstock using microbes increases profitability and environmental benefits as well as sustainability for biorefineries. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a robust m

Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC), is a congenital leukodystrophy with childhood onset. It is an extremely rare genetic disorder of the brain that affects less than 1 per 1,000,000 live births. Patients typically present macrocephaly during early childhood and later develop symptoms like decreased motor and cognitive functions, and epileptic seizures, all of which us

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease, linked to age, weight and joint overload. Typical symptoms include joint pain, loss of mobility and joint stiffness. The past two decades the amount of people suffering from OA has increased, and with the current trend of increasing age and weight it is expected to further increase. It is known that knee OA is correlated with the degener

The exact workings of amelogenin (AMG) as a key-regulator in the formation of enamel is still to be determined. It has been observed however, that AMG promotes tissue-regrowth and has promotive effect on e.g., osteoblastic cells and could therefore be of interest for medical applications. This project aimed to utilize AMG’s self-assembly properties to fabricate a protein-based biomaterial for cult
