Syftet med denna studie är att klargöra vad som försvårar svensklärares bedömning av multimodala texter eftersom bristfällig bedömning hämmar elevernas möjligheter att utveckla sin digitala kompetens och exkluderar elevernas textvärldar. För att undersöka lärarnas bedömningssvårigheter intervjuade vi sex svensklärare på gymnasienivå angående deras bedömningsstrategier. Intervjun avhandlade multi
The Arctic is warming at a rate two to three times that of the global average. Although only covering a small area of the globe, it is a vital component of the climate system. Through climatic feedback effects the warming is enhanced, and risks leading to further climate change. Simulations of future Arctic change indicate that the region will warm 3-4°C above end of 20th century levels by 2050. C
Numerous studies have discussed the importance of multilevel governance for enhancing climate action at the urban level. However, there remains limited knowledge on the proliferation of multilevel climate governance in the Global South. Addressing this gap, this study aims to explore the implementation of multilevel climate governance at the urban level through a case study analysis of three India
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is twofold. With a stakeholder perspective, the paper has the ambition of understanding why firms decide to invest in ethics. In this sense, we look at such investments both through the lens of mitigating downside risks as well as the lens of creating competitive advantage and shared value. In the light of ethical investments, the paper also has the purpose of e
Purpose – While e-commerce marketplaces have changed the way SMEs operate across borders, literature connecting digital platforms with the internationalisation of firms is scarce. Although the Uppsala Model and the Born Global concept acknowledge the influence of digital technologies, they do not capture the phenomenon of e-commerce marketplaces as a new mode of entry. In light of the new opportun
Various recyclability by design (RBD) guidelines for multilayer plastic flexible packaging (MPFP) were assessed for consistency among parameter values. 9% consistency was observed, which is on the lower end of devised consistency scale. Poly-ethylene and poly-propylene are the two major emerging recycling streams in Danone Nutricia’s six key EU market countries. However, a need for consolidated ce
Aluminum blisters are a widely used packaging type in the pharmaceutical industry, including Elanco Animal Health Inc., a major player in the animal health business. Excellent barrier properties and convenience of usage to the consumers make it an ideal solution. Unfortunately, due to lack of innovation since its invention in the 1960s, there have been certain shortcomings in it use; like lack in

Axis has no own manufacturing and instead utilize contracted manufacturers around the world. It is the sourcing department at Axis that are responsible for establishing contracts with these manufacturers as well as suppliers. The responsibility of handlin
Due to both the effects of climate change and the high concentrations of infrastructure and socio-economic activity in low-lying areas in NYC, floods have the potential to destroy homes and businesses, impair infrastructure, and threaten human safety. Measurement, reporting, and verification are vital steps in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of a climate change adaptation efforts. Howe
Detta magisterarbete består av två delar, där den första delen utgörs av en översättning av Lucas Ruiz’ novell ”El hombre sin memoria” från novellsamlingen El esquiador de fondo (2014), och den andra delen, som presenteras här, är en analys av översättningen. Analysen omfattar en källtextanalys och en fördjupad översättningsanalys. Källtextanalysen visar bland annat att Lucas Ruiz’ litterära språk
The sugar signaling state of cells oxidizing xylose was investigated through the chromosomal integration of the Weimberg pathway into previously established biosensor strains capable of monitoring the Snf3p/Rgt2p, SNF1/Mig1p, and cAMP/PKA pathways through the expression of HXT1, SUC2, and TPS1, respectively. Ultimately, two new strains were successfully developed containing both the Weimberg pathw
Arktis står inför stora förändringar i samband med rådande klimat- och miljöförändringar, där de arktiska kusterna är utsatta. Förändringar i temperatur, havsnivå, stormar och havsisens utbredning är några av de faktorer som spelar in i hur kusterna och stränderna kan förändras. Syftet med studien är att först översiktligt se vilka kustmorfologiska förändringar som sker i Arktis idag och huruvida The Arctic is facing great changes due to current climate changes, where the Arctic coasts are especially vulnerable. Changes in temperature, mean sea level, storms and sea ice extent are some of the factors that shape how the coasts and beaches can be changed. The purpose of this study is firstly to examine what changes the Arctic coasts are experiencing today and whether they can be correlated t
Abstract: As conventional linear economic systems transcend the environmental boundaries with hazardous consequences, the Circular Economy (CE) concept as an alternative gains ground on political and business agendas. Circular strategies and thereof evolving circular oriented innovations (COI) imply that product and material design, supply chains, and business models have to be integrated; however
The issues of tackling aggressive tax planning are actual throughout the whole history of global market economy. Earlier this struggle was held by the states individually through imposing rules into their national legislation authorizing tax supervisory bodies to use new methods of control, establishing liability for tax evasion, and developing the approaches by judgements of the courts on relevan
Triple Helix theory is to analyze the function and interactions of academia, industry and government in regional innovation systems. The cases of Silicon Valley, Boston, Cambridge and Scania in Sweden all provide empirical studies for understanding the effects of the triple helix model in improvement of absorption ability and industrial clusters. But some scholars also argue that the Triple Helix
Sustainable development has become a major goal of development policies across the globe and environmental innovation is commonly viewed as a means to fulfil this goal because it can create growth while simultaneously reducing environmental impact. Recent research in economic geography has provided evidence for a positive relationship between variety in local knowledgebases and innovativeness. Fol
This study aimed to investigate how different psychological mechanisms are related to well-being. More specifically, the study investigated how psychological flexibility, psychological inflexibility, self-compassion and compassion for others were related to mental illness and life satisfaction. Data were collected through an online survey (N = 171) with measures of psychological flexibility, compa
LDMX is a fixed target experiment designed to search for light dark matter. The experiment will search for dark matter signatures using missing momentum and energy in events with electrons scattering in the target. Part of the experimental setup in this search is a high granularity electromagnetic calorimeter to accurately measure the energies of recoil electrons. In this thesis artificial neura
The present research aims at finding the underlying factors that contributed to the recently observed disappearance of economic shrinking in Ethiopia, defined as negative rates of GDP per capita growth. Within the framework of the Theory of Shrinking (Broadberry & Wallis, 2017) it sheds light on structural, technological and demographic change, the occurrence of warfare as well as institutiona
