The increasing importance of technology in everyday life demands to look at this matter in the context of education as well. Whereas Educational Technology (EdTech) has been re-searched mainly in higher education, there is only little research focusing on primary schools. The education of students should not suffer from an inadequate engagement with EdTech. Nevertheless, there are countries like
Low energy buildings are usually characterized by a very well insulated building envelope and an efficient ventilation system that makes use of the heat in the exhaust air. Internal heat gains from residents and their use of appliances can cover the heating demand to a certain extent. The magnitude of internal heat gains that cover demand are often modelled in a simplified way and thus can be asso

International research collaborations engage multiple countries, researchers, and universities. This enhances the magnitude of contextual challenges, including legal and ethical dimensions across various jurisdictions, that must be bridged in qualitative research regardless of discipline, also in the construction of informed consents. From a Scandinavian perspective, this discussion paper explores
The present article seeks to explore how asylum law is formed, transformed and reformed in Europe, what its effects are on state practice and refugee protection in the Baltic and Central European candidate countries, and what this process reveals about the framework used by scholars to understand the dynamics of international refugee law. Arguably, an exclusive focus on EU institutions and their d
Anyone who teas taught a course in Strategic Management probably provides the same basic content to students including the infamous SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threat) analysis along with the identification of functional level, business level, and generic strategies to enhance an organization's competitiveness. What might be different in the teaching of strategic management cour

This longitudinal study explored the factors influencing the relationship between relatedness and mental well-being in 16–18-year-old Swedish high school students (N=249; m=87, f=159, N/A=3) attending upper secondary school. Measurements were the DASS-21 (Henry & Crawford, 2005), BPNSFS (Chen et al., 2015), SFS-SF (Raes et al., 2011), and the HSC-21 (Weyn et al., 2022), with relevant scores be

Tvister med anledning av ett sådant tvångsinlösensförfarande ska med grund i tvingande bestämmelser i ABL avgöras genom skiljeförfarande. I uppsatsen görs en kritisk analys av sådana tvångsinlösenförfaranden utifrån den enskilde minoriteAccording to the Swedish Companies Act (ABL), an owner holding more than 90% of the shares in another limited company has the right to demand compulsory redemption of the remaining minority shares. Disputes arising from such procedures must be resolved through arbitration.
