This thesis examines how learning is depicted in policy documents for public libraries on municipal and national level in Sweden.

The method used is Carol Bacchi’s What’s the problem represented to be-approach. Pierre Bourdieu’s the

In this thesis we introduce some basic concepts in representation theory such as Schur’s Lemma, induced representations and M-groups. These concepts are then used in particular on a group G_96 of order 96, in order to determine its irreducible representations and its character table. Furthermore, we show that G_96 is an M-group and contains a subgroup which is not an M-group itself.

Previous literature on CSR were mainly dominated by Western nuances, and they overlooked the implication of socio-cultural aspects in the deve

This dissertation intends to examine how the Swedish art world is responding to the exposure of artwork which has been produced using artificial intelligence as a tool. Based on qualitative interviews with curators, who have developed and formed exhibitions of AI-art, this study aims to investigate if an acceptance of such art could occur. In 2019 two of Sweden’s most reputable art institutions,

Background: In today’s dynamic market environment, change and entrepreneurship are considered important for organizations to keep gaining a competitive advantage.

The speed of growth for startups has never been faster, and this growth comes with ethical challenges for society as the startups bring their innovation to the masses without considering the full implications of their business. With the aim to better understand the ethical decision making process of the entrepreneur and how to improve it, we identified two gaps in entrepreneurial ethics research t

This research seeks to investigate access to justice in Liberia, specifically delving into corruption in the Liberian Judiciary and its nexus to pretrial detention

Tidigare fanns en statlig läromedelsgranskning i Sverige. Sedan denna avvecklats har istället ansvaret för granskning av läromedel ålagts lärarna och skolorna själva. Syftet med denna studie är att genomföra en kritisk granskning av läromedel. I läroplanen (Lgr11) framgår tydligt att jämställdhet är något skolan skall verka för. Genusteori har därför varit utgångspunkten för denna granskning. Stu

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur fyra rytmiklärare definierar och beskriver rytmikmetoden samt hur de förhåller sig till den rytmikutbildning de fått på Musikhögskolan i Malmö.

LitteraturkapitletThe aim of this study was to examine how four eurythmics teachers’ define and describe eurythmics as a method for musical learning and how they relate to their former eurythmics education in their daily teaching.

This Master’s thesis concerns the regulation of premature implementations of mergers, also known as gun-jumping.

In recent years there has been a large increase in available data from the electric grid in Finland. The availability of both operational as well as financial data enables exploration of forecasting energy prices using deep learning techniques. As a result this thesis implements the Multi-Horizon Quantile Recurrent Neural Network (MQRNN) to forecast the regulating price in the Finnish energy markeEnergy is something we use on a daily basis. Among other things we use it to charge our phones and turn on the lights. But what determines the price of energy? In the Nordics, energy is traded like a commodity by the market. That means the price is set according to supply and demand. And while the demand is easy to forecast, determining what will be produced is harder. Forecasting production accur

Bakgrund: Efter en hjärt- eller lungtransplantation finns det risk för komplikationer och bieffekter. Vilket skapar en komplex situation att förhålla sig till för personer som genomgått en hjärt- eller lungtransplantation och kan påverka deras livskvalité långsiktigt på flera sätt. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur hjärt- och lungtransplanterade patienter uppskattar sin hälsorelatera

Bakgrund: Anestesisjuksköterskan arbetar under en ständig tidspress, har krav på sig att patienten ska erhålla en god omvårdnad och dessutom under det faktum att patientens fysiologiska reaktion vid preoperativ oro, rädsla och ångest kan påverka operationens resultat negativt. För att kunna genomföra det perioperativa mötet på ett optimalt sätt för patienten behövs en djupare och bredare förståels

Bakgrund: Aktivitetsbalans är ett begrepp inom arbetsterapi som är starkt förknippat med hälsa. Det saknas dock kunskap om hur äldre personers aktivitetsbalans tillgodoses i praktiken. Eftersom den äldre befolkningen växer kan äldreomsorgen få svårt att tillgodose äldres behov vilket gör det intressant att undersöka aktivitetsbalans på äldreboenden. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturöversikten var att k

Awareness of sustainability-related issues within the fashion industry has increased. Fast fashion is specifically criticized for its negative impacts on the environment and society. Due to this, several fast fashion companies are trying to position themselves as more sustainable. However, fast fashion and sustainability are often considered paradoxical. The purpose of this study is to investigate

Bakgrund: Den perioperativa vården syftar till att så säkert som möjligt följa patienten genom ingreppets olika steg och operationsteamet ansvarar för att bevara patientens värdighet, integritet och autonomi. Teamarbete syftar till att varje profession tar hänsyn till varandras yrkeskompetens för att tillsammans ha en helhetssyn kring patienten. Trots att operationsverksamheten är ett av de område

Sammanfattning Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att skapa en djupare förståelse för barnkonventionens realisering. Uppsatsen tar avstamp i bredare en debatt om de mänskliga rättigheterna med en teoretisk förankring i universalism, kulturrelativism och relativ universalism. För att uppnå upp-satsens syfte valde jag att fokusera på implementeringen av barnkonventionen i Palestina, ett land som länge
