The EU is accused of having a democratic deficit and one of the reasons for that is the low number of turnouts in democratic elections and referendums. Voter turnout is oneof democracy’s most important indicators of health as it shows to whatextent voters practice their democratic right in a representative democracy. Voter participation is thus an accept of the rules of the representative democrac
Studien syftar till att undersöka hur el- och kontrabaslärare i gymnasieskolan arbetar för att väcka och bibehålla motivation hos sina elever. Jag har valt att göra denna studie då jag sett och upplevt att elevers motivation påverkar undervisningen i hög grad. I studien intervjuas fyra el- och kontrabaslärare om vilka faktorer som de beskriver är betydelsefulla för elevers motivation och hur de arThe study aims to investigate how electric and double bass teachers in Swedish gymnasium work to inspire and maintain student’s motivation. I have chosen to do this study because I have seen and experienced that student’s motivation affects the teaching to a great extent. In the study four electric and double bass teachers are interviewed. The focus of the interviews is to see which factors the te
Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur retorikteorins etiska aspekter kan implementera det etiska perspektivet i retorikundervisningen i Svenska 1, 2 och 3. Vidare strävade jag efter att synliggöra hur lärare betraktade möjligheten att involvera eleven i etisk reflektion med hjälp av retorikens metaspråk. Jag tillämpade en kvalitativ innehållsanalys för att synliggöra relationen mellan retorik och eThe aim of this study was to investigate how the ethical aspects of rhetoric theory can implement the ethical perspective on teaching in rhetoric in Swedish 1, 2 and 3. Furthermore, I sought to clarify how teachers viewed the possibility of involving the student in ethical reflection with the help of rhetoric's metalanguage.

Sopberg, en bestående klimatbov eller en källa till förnybar energi? Produktionen av metanrik gas, kallat deponigas, inuti deponier är den näst största källan till utsläpp av metan till atmosfären i Sverige. Metan är en kraftig växthusgas, 28 gånger starkare än CO2 och för att minska utsläppen från deponier är det idag lagkrav i Sverige på att samla upp gasen. Den uppsamlade gasen facklas ofta seWhen organic material is deposited at a landfill it is decomposed over time by microorganisms to form a gas mixture consisting of mainly methane, carbon dioxide and nitrogen called landfill gas. To limit the environmental impact from this gas there is a requirement in Sweden today that all landfills which have accepted or are accepting organic material to be equipped with a gas collection system a
Att försöka simulera adsorption Datormodeller är användbara för att förutspå verkligheten men bara om man lyckas få dem att återspegla den först. För adsorptionsfenomen är detta extra knepigt då det är många underliggande antaganden som måste identifieras och uppfyllas. Att kunna testa hypoteser i en datormodell innan man testar den i labbet eller ute i en stor fabrik är något som kan spara både tThe separation of hemicelluloses, like glactoglucomannans, from lignocellulosic process streams is an important step in building profitable lignocellulosic biorefineries. The most common method for the separation is membrane filtration, however, it has the draw-back of being sensitive to membrane fouling. To better understand the fouling process, it is desirable to be able to model the adsorption
The objective of this study was to investigate potential differences in gender and place of origin on intimate partner violence (IPV) attitudes, self-silencing beliefs, and sexist and feminist measures in a sample of young adults between 18 and 30 years. Furthermore, it examined whether exposure to videos containing either sexist or feminist humour impacted participants’ level of IPV attitudes, se
In response to the recent stagnation of global economic integration, a large part of world trade today transpires within the boundaries of regional trade agreements (RTAs). However, trade effects are heterogeneous both across and within RTAs - a phenomenon not fully understood. Since the end of the Cold War, researchers have studied the role of ethnic diversity in explaining low economic developme
One of the oldest, but still not answered questions in single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) is how to define a cell type transcriptomically, and this has been becoming more and more relevant as the amount of data grows. It has been recommended that cells should be grouped hierarchically rather than as cell types that are exclusively related to each other, so that it may be able to reflect cell d
Dosan challenges the current norms and preconceptions of light switches in a home environment by creating impactful and joyful moments into an otherwise repetitive action. Technological advancements have led to an increased lack of physical interaction and tactile feedback, therefore it is important to consider what is replaced and what gets lost when new innovative technology is introduced. Dosan
I dagens samhälle finns begränsad kunskap kring anledningar till varför människor ansluter sig till Islamiska staten, det vill säga IS. Män utgör en majoritet av de som anslutit sig till Islamiska staten. För att förstå vad det är som gör att män i högre grad lockas till terrororganisationer kan narrativ kring maskulinitetsideal undersökas i Islamiska statens propaganda. Den här studien är begräns
Det finns ett ökat intresse för att förstå forskningens bidrag och roll i omställningen till ett mer hållbart samhälle. Hursomhelst karaktäriseras forskningsutvärdering och management av osäkerheter och en rad svårigheter, såsom balansen mellan långsiktiga och kortsiktiga projekt, inkrementella och disruptiva projekt m.m. Denna studie undersöker tvärsnittet mellan hållbarhetsbedömningar och forsknThis study explores the cross-section between sustainability assessment and research reviewing- and evaluation at an early development stage of emerging technical solutions´ by conducting a case study on Sustainability Readiness Level, a tool used in the application and reviewing process of the Strategic Innovation Programme (SIP) BioInnovation. The aim of the thesis is to gain a deeper understand
When hearing the word ‘terrorism’ something will come to mind, whether it is images from 9/11, 7/7 or any other attack, pictures from terrorist camps in Syria, or something else related to terrorism. But what is terrorism, and can the word be defined sufficiently enough to be used by courts of law? This thesis examines the Swedish courts’ interpretation and application of the legal definition of t
Cerebral Palsy (CP) has an impact on muscles and movement. This happens due to brain damage before the age of two years. Either sometimes before birth, during childbirth or after birth. According to hjarnfonden.se, 200 children are added annually in Sweden with CP. People living with CP have these weaknesses for the rest of their lives. CP is not progressive disorder, that means brain damage can’
Framsteg inom forskningsområden som maskininlärning, signalbehandling och sensorteknik möjliggör automatisk klassificering av sjukdomssymptom. Läkare kan bedöma symptom vid Parkinsons sjukdom genom att granska videomaterial. Kan vi lära datorer att göra samma bedömning endast utifrån data från sensorer? Parkinsons sjukdom, som årligen drabbar ungefär 2000 personer i Sverige, leder till att nervceThe recent progress in wearable sensor technology, signal processing and machine learning enables novel applications in fields such as automatic disease symptom tracking and classification. In this project, data from an ongoing Parkinson’s disease study at the Lund University Hospital is gathered and analyzed, and classification models of varying complexity for symptom severity are evaluated. The
Prior to the accomplishment of this research, the compatibility of the classic e-servicescape conceptual model in the context Taobao and TMall in China were rarely found among existing e-servicescape literatures due to the standardization taken by both online platforms towards the establishment of individual webshops. Meanwhile, the conceptualization of social factors as social dimension of e-serv
I denna uppsats analyseras hur en ”äldrevänlig kommun” skapas i en svensk kontext, med Uppsala kommun som exempel. Begreppet äldrevänlighet har vuxit fram genom WHOs arbete och nätverk Age-friendly cities and communities, som syftar till att bemöta en globalt ökande andel befolkning över 60 år. I detta nätverk är idag sex svenska kommuner medlemmar, bland annat Uppsala, och fler än 750 städer delt
The purpose of this study is to explore the way that aspects of the external shopping environment form consumers’ perception of safety, in order to improve our understanding of how consumers experience safety issues in the high streets. Besides, this thesis aims to understand the role of safety in the consumers’ perception towards the shopping environment of high streets and the importance of safe
This thesis examines the L2 intonation of Swedish learners of Japanese with a focus on pitch accent and prosodic phrasing errors. Previous studies have attempted to predict L2 learners’ difficulties and errors, such as Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis (CAH) by Lado (1957) and Markedness Differential Hypothesis (MDH) by Eckman (1977; 1985). L2 Japanese pronunciation has been analysed at the word or
The autonomous truck is gradually making its way onto our roads, and the elimination of the truck driver implies a substantial social-technical transition for logistics companies. Specifically, transport managers who work closely with the drivers on a daily basis, will potentially see a significant change at work. The implementation of the autonomous trucks in logistical companies could cause fric
