Vetenskapliga synsätt på vad barn kan är kapabla till att klara av har reviderats om och om igen genom historien, oftast i samband med att nya metoder som undersöker barns förmågor uppkommit. Barn verkar gång på gång klara av mer än vad man tidigare hade trott. Lärspel utnyttjar datorspelens fängslande kraft, och har visat ha en positiv effekt för lärande och motivationen. I denna uppsats, kommer Scientific views on what children are capable of have been revised through history again and again, usually when new methods of studying children’s capabilities are presented. What has often been concluded is that children are capable of more than what was previously thought. New technology has introduced a genre of educational games which utilize the captivating power of computer games which have

Hur skiljer sig prioriteringen av de olika framgångsfaktorerna åt mellan de olika aktörerna som är verksamma under produktionsprocessen. Syfte: Studien syftar till att t

Buildings has both a cultural-historical and technical value. Buildings that were built in the 60's and 70's had relatively simple energy requirements compared to today. A large part of these buildings need to be renovated. Culture-marked buildings makes the process more difficult due to the cultural- historical value. This means no exterior work can be done, the retrofitting energy effici

Timber-concrete composite floors have been used for many years outside Sweden, although this kind of floor has not reached its full potential in Sweden. An advantage of using a timber-concrete composite floor is that the concrete is primarily subjected to compressive stress while the wood is primarily subjected to tensile stress, for the case of vertical load. The purpose of this work is to examin

MALIN WIDENBERG HUR MÅNGA GÅNGER ANVÄNDER DU DIN BÄRKASSE? Varje år använder vi i Sverige ungefär 120 bärkassar per person, men hur många gånger måste man använda de olika kassarna för att vara snäll mot miljön? Visste du tillexempel att du bör använda din bomullskasse minst 173 gånger för att den ska vara lika snäll som en fruktpåse? Men är verkligen fruktpåsarna så snälla, hur påverkar de och There are several different options of carrier bags available at supermarket retailers with and estimated consumption of 98.6 billion plastic carrier bags in the EU alone.
