Machine Translation is an application area of the field Natural Language Processing (NLP), used to transfer information from one language to another. Creating these tools require a lot of data, including data about the semantic relationships of the texts, and for unspoken languages like Ancient Greek, there does not exist a l

As these platforms face closure or data loss, there is a risk of losing users’ contributions forever. While govern

Vi har under vår ämneslärarutbildning i musik på Musikhögskolan i Malmö sett en problematik med tolkningsbara betygskriterier och likvärdig bedömning. Betygskriteriet personligt uttryck i kursen Instrument eller sång 1 har vi fastnat för, då vi har sång som vår instrumentinriktning. I vår utbildning har vi fått lärdom om att skolans uppdrag innefattar elevers rätt till likvärdig utbildning och bedDuring our music teacher training programme at Malmö Academy of Music, we have encountered a problem with interpretable grading criteria and equivalent assessment.

Byggbranschen är sedan länge känd för att vara en mansdominerad bransch som kännetecknas av macho-beteenden. Trots ökad medvetenhet om behovet av mångfald och inkludering, där det alltmer arbetas med dessa frågor i dagens byggbransch, är representationen bland kvinnor och andra minoriteter fortfarande låg. Stereotyper och fördomar kvarstår än idag, vilket hotar branschens framtid att vara mångfald
