Denna studie undersöker hur ett digitalt undervisningsmaterial i skolämnet musik kan fungera för elever som är i behov av extra anpassningar (stödinsatser). Tre metoder har använts för att få en djupare förståelse av elevernas åsikter om det digitala materialet och undervisningsformen. Dessa är frågeformulär/logg, intervjuer och egen dagbok. Frågeställningarna som undersökts är: Hur beskriver infoThis study examines how a digital teaching material in the school subject music can work for students who are in need of additional adjustments (support measures). Three methods have been used to gain a deeper understanding of the student’s opinions about the digital material and teaching methods. Theese are questionnaire/log book, interviews and a diary. The issues examined are: How do the interv
Det brukar heta att vi alla är nya någon gång. Ändå bortser majoriteten av ledarskapsforskningen från något som vi menar är av oerhörd betydelse för att ledarskapet ska fungera väl eller inte, erfarenhet. I dagens forskning finns brister kring korrelationen mellan ledarskap och graden av erfarenhet. Vår studie ämnar skapa förståelse för fördelar och nackdelar med oerfaret ledarskap samt visa på hu
Syfte: Syftet med studien är att utifrån ett socialt identitetsperspektiv fördjupa kunskapen kring förekomsten av grupperingar i kontorslandskap med fri placering. Metod: Studien utgår ifrån en iterativ metod där semistrukturerade intervjuer har tillämpats. Vidare har studien grundats i en socialkonstruktionistisk ansats och studiens analys har utgått ifrån ett tolkande perspektiv. Teoretisk refer
När vetenskaplig grund och beprövad erfarenhet skrivs in som begrepp i läroplanen 2011 betonas vikten av ett samspel mellan teori och praktik. Trots detta finns ingen enhetlig definition av begreppens betydelse eller hur begreppen bör tillämpas. Uppsatsens syfte är att skapa en djupare förståelse för hur svensklärare reflekterar kring sin praktik genom att undersöka hur lärarna förhåller sig till

By performing a field experiment in cooperation with Länsförsäkringar Skåne, the study shows that the nudges have a significant impact of rai
The topic of this thesis is the leverage effect i.e. asymmetric volatility. The leverage effect describes the negative relationship between asset value and volatility. The purpose is to examine if firm specific variables impact the size of the leverage effect, in order to bring additional insights into the missing gap in the research field. The study is conducted on 1,311 U.S. companies active on
Currently humanity faces environmental challenges that require political action in order to maintain the integrity of human and environmental systems. However, political authorities are not always ready to make rigorous decisions to support the necessary changes. Thus, social movements as a recognised agent of cultural, political and social change have the power to push for these decisions. Over t
The through-silicon via (TSV) is a type of vertical electrical connection that can pass through a silicon wafer or die. By using TSVs, compared to using wire bonding as interconnections in a capacitive fingerprint sensor, the capacitive strength between the sensor die and the finger can be increased. However, since TSV structures are both more complex as structures and have a more complex manufact
In the shadow of commercial fishing fleets, recreational fishers are a lesser known but still substantial group exerting pressure on the world’s aquatic ecosystems and its fish stocks. Enthusiastic angler participation, high catch rates, catch selectivity and harmful fishing techniques characteristic of recreational fishers can have detrimental impacts on the aquatic environment. Furthermore, recr
We are living in an age of information in which organizations are crumbling under the pressure of exponentially growing data. Increased data quality ensures better decision making, thereby enabling companies to stay competitive in the market. To improve data quality, it is imperative to identify all the characteristics that describe data. And, building on one characteristic results in compromising

The primary aim of the study was to investigate the applicability of Dunn’s sensory processing model (1997) to youth with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The model describes four patterns of sensory processing: sensory sensitivity, sensation avoiding, low registration and sensation seeking. The current study test whether these four processes are related to, and differentiate, OCD from anxiety
This study aims to find a deeper understanding of how millennials, a consumer group of increasing importance, perceives endorsed brands in fitness and health vlogs. The study used a combination of netnography, including video and comment analysis, and qualitative, semistructured interviews with both audience and creator of vlogs as its methodology. The key finding of the research is that millennia
Today’s linear economy with a production and consumption pattern based on a take-make-waste principle puts a large pressure on the planet’s environmental boundaries. To achieve a sustainable development a more resource-efficient and waste-reduced system must be developed. In a so called circular economy, where the aim is to decouple development from the use of scarce and linear inputs, new busines
Studien undersökte sambanden mellan hur psykologer uppfattade chefers autonomi- och kompetensstödjande tillämpning av politiska beslut och upplevt arbetsklimat samt huruvida detta predicerade arbetsmotivation och arbetskrav. Studien utgick från Self-Determination Theory vilken framhåller tre medfödda psykologiska behov som är essentiella för främjandet av motivation hos människor. 164 psykologer vThe aim of this study was to examine the relation between how psychologists perceived their managers as autonomy- and competence supportive in implementing policies and need satisfaction. Furthermore, this study investigated whether these variables could predict work motivation and job demands among psychologists. The study is based on Self-Determination Theory, which emphasizes three innate needs
The purpose of this study is to investigate if the Renewable Identification Numbers (RIN) markets have operated efficiently, a controversial and unexplored area in prior research. This is done through an event study of the retroactive introductions of the Blenders Tax Credit (BTC) and its effect on the RIN Credit Market, related commodity markets and relevant firm stocks. The study applies a samp
