Popular Abstract in Swedish Villkoren för utbildning och undervisning förändras i väsentliga avseenden i takt med samhällets tilltagande komplexitet. Det är många gånger svårt för både lärare och elever att veta hur man på bästa sätt ska orientera sitt pedagogiska handlande. Med utgångspunkt från tre pedagogiska kontexter - grundskolan, de särskilda ungdomshemmen och grundskollärarutbildningen - pPedagogical practice is, in several important considerations, contradictory in character. In this dissertation attenention is drawn towards the field of tension that prevails between pedagogical action, which can be descibed in terms of strategic processes and communicative pedagogical action. While the former places the preconditions for effective knowledge development of the individual at the ce

In unsparing efforts to find the hidden primaries, second primary cancers (SPCs) unrelated to cancer of unknown primary (CUP) are found. The detection rates of SPCs after CUP can be considered as measures for the effectiveness of modern diagnostic techniques in finding tumors. We aimed to compare the rates of specific SPCs found after the work-up of CUP and the more sign/symptom-directed diagnosti

Although extensive research has demonstrated host-retrovirus microevolutionary dynamics, it has been difficult to gain a deeper understanding of the macroevolutionary patterns of host-retrovirus interactions. Here we use recent technological advances to infer broad patterns in retroviral diversity, evolution, and host-virus relationships by using a large-scale phylogenomic approach using endogenou

Cigarette smoking has inconsistently been associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. One of the enzymes responsible for the detoxification of the carcinogenic compounds present in tobacco smoke is glutathione S-transferase-mu (GST-mu). The gene that codes for this enzyme is GSTM1. In this study, we evaluated the associations and interaction between GSTM1 deletion, smoking behaviour an

In the molecular interplay between pathogenic microorganisms and their host, proteolytic mechanisms are believed to play a crucial role. Here we find that the important human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus) expresses a surface protein with high affinity (Ka = 2.0 x 10(8) M-1) for alpha2-macroglobulin (alpha2M), the dominating proteinase inhibitor of human plasma. The immuno

Heparan sulfate chains have been found to be associated with amyloid deposits in a number of diseases including transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Diverse lines of evidence have linked proteoglycans and their glycosaminoglycan chains, and especially heparan sulfate, to the metabolism of the prion protein isoforms. Glypicans are a family of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored, heparan sul

Första april 2018 trädde 3 kap. 4 § i skadeståndslagen ikraft. Lagrummet innebär att det offentliga under vissa villkor bär ett skadeståndsansvar för överträdelser av EKMR. Införandet av 3:4 SkL föregicks av en flerårig utveckling av ansvar för konventionsöverträdelser i HD:s praxis. Uppsatsen redogör för 3:4 SkL i förhållande till den första artikeln i första tilläggsprotokollet till EKMR – skydOn the 1st of April 2018 the new law of chapter 3, section 4 in the Tort Liability Act went into force. The law declares that the state under set provisions is liable for damages caused by violations of the ECHR. The law was preceded by several years of development of a convention-based responsibility in the case law of the Supreme Court. This thesis examines the new law in the context of the fir

Japanese knotweed is a big problem in Sweden and there is no known control that can eliminate stands of the plant. Therefore the aim with this thesis is to investigate the effect on Japanese knotweed of two control methods: mowing and hot water. The control methods chosen are the ones used by the Ängelholm municipality since this thesis is done in collaboration with them. The methods were investig

Housing market in Punjab faces number of challenges related to supply, population growth, access to utilities, affordability, and consumer mortgages. In 2017, Punjab, Pakistan, experienced a total urban housing deficit of about 2.3 million units. Due to the Punjab's low supply of affordable housing, home ownership is uneven, with the majority of owners being concentrated in the highest-income

Antalet nyanlända personer i Sverige har ökat dramatiskt de senaste åren. Ansvaret för dessa människors boende är både en statlig och en kommunal angelägenhet. Denna uppsats undersöker ansvarsfördelningen och hur långt rätten till bostad sträcker sig i svensk lagstiftning. Uppsatsen undersöker om rätten till bostad åtnjuts på lika villkor av alla människor som lagligen uppehåller sig i Sverige. DeIn the last years, there has been a largely increased number of refugees in Sweden. The responsibility for these peoples’ living situation are both a responsibility for the state and for the municipalities. Thus, this paper will examine the distribution of responsibility and how far the right to housing extends in Swedish national law. This paper focus on the subject if the right to housing is enj

During the past two decades, the higher education sector has undergone rapid changes as a result of which many higher education institutions (HEIs) find themselves being compared to other institutions. Global rankings have become the prime mechanism for providing such comparisons. How nations and their HEIs respond to the developments in the higher education sector is context-specific. There is a

The aim of the study is to find a relation between the tip pressure produced by ram sounding and CPT in order to improve the possibilities of determining the shear strength of clay till. CPT is a pressure probe and mainly used to get a good picture of the statigraphy and the soil condition. CPT has shown to be useful regarding the evaluation of key parameters such as shear strengh and angle of fri

Sexually reproducing species tend to have reproductive barriers between them that prevent hybrid offspring from being formed. Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans are two closely related species that can form sterile hybrids. In addition to their post-zygotic barriers, which cause the hybrid sterility, some behavioral pre-zygotic barriers also exist. These include different preferences for cour

Förhållandet mellan brottsoffers yttrandefrihet, förövares rätt till privatliv och förtalsbrottet är en fråga som blev aktuell i samband med #metoo-rörelsen, då kvinnor öppet via sociala medier delade med sig av sina erfaren-heter av sexuellt våld och sedan dömdes för förtal. Trots att #metoo-rörelsen i skrivande stund inte har samma intensitet förekommer det fortfarande lik-nande situationer. I sThe balance between victims’ freedom of expression, offenders right to respect for their private life and the crime of defamation, became a topical issue in Sweden, in connection with the #MeToo movement, where women who shared their experiences of sexual violence through social media, later were convicted of defamation. Although the #MeToo movement is no longer as intense, similar situations stil

Increasing issues related to agriculture are being identified. To counter these issues, some type of methods of agriculture are being introduced and reintroduced, such as agroecology. With its focus on practices, sciences and social movement, agroecology is considered as a promising solution to bring a paradigm change to agriculture as we know today and to provide better quality food, produced in

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is increasingly utilized across various practical domains, requiring continual development and optimization of supporting technologies. An essential aspect of this progress is the efficient testing of WPT Systems. This thesis explores optimization of the testing process using Machine Learning(ML) and data analysis, applied on historical data represented by test outcom

Mental illness among Swedish adolescents is increasing, which partly might be a result of an observed increase in stress. Consequently, the number of adolescents seeking and receiving psychiatric care from pediatric psychiatry is higher than ever, and has resulted in a worsened accessibility with longer waiting times for appointments and treatment. As such, preventive care and health promotion int

FacePrint is a project developed by a consortium that aims to efficiently provide facial prostheses, mainly nose and ear prostheses. One of the companies involved in the project is Purple Scout. Their task was to develop the interface that the clinicians will use to design the prosthesis. The idea is that patient and doctor sit together and decide what the prosthesis should look like using the int
