The thesis is about how students can learn to use argumentation and the processes of giving responses in a web-based setting, as a tool for individual and collective learning. The thesis comprises three studies, which examine and describe how 70 distance students develop an individual and collective competence to provide feedback, critically evaluate and argue in the context of a web-based learnin
Background: While energy communities working on electricity provision have been extensively studied, thermal energy communities (TECs) focusing on bringing district heating (DH) systems to decarbonise heat systems in buildings have been relatively under-researched. This study addresses this gap by presenting the first comprehensive examination of key factors influencing the emergence and developme
To address the challenges of an ageing population, it is important to promote health by identifying factors for healthy ageing. The aim of this study was to investigate the bidirectional association between physical activity (PA) and sleep in healthy Japanese super-seniors over the age of 80. For approximately 1 year, 124 participants wore wearable devices and answered daily lifestyle questionnair
Många människor är idag beroende av matunderstöd från församlingar och kommuner, bland annat på grund av hög inflation och höjda matkostnader. Efterfrågan på hjälp till det nödvändigaste för med sig frågor om värdighet och skam. I forskningsprojektet med namnet Det ovärdiga i att vara hungrig och det ovärdiga i att behöva ta emot mat: Hur kan professionella bidra till värdighet i mötet med hjälpsö
Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) is one of the critical water quality indicators that shows the eutrophication status of aquatic ecosystems. As the largest lake and a well-known attraction in middle Europe, Lake Balaton contributes 70 % or more of local economy through tourism, while also maintaining a unique biodiversity. Therefore, long-term monitoring of water quality is essential for its effective manage
Background: The kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) has previously been associated with kidney function in rodents and humans. Yet its role as a predictive marker for future decline in kidney function has remained less clear.Methods: At baseline (1991-1994), fasting plasma KIM-1 (p-KIM-1) was measured in 4739 participants of the population-based Malmö Diet and Cancer Study. Creatinine and cystatin C
My paper discussed two controversies surrounding the exhibition Art in the Streets, which was shown at the MOCA in Los Angeles April 17th - August 8th 2011. One focal point was the reaction of conservative American commentators to the exhibition in general; another the reactions of agents within the street art world to the removal of one specific artwork. Contrary to the session chairs’ suggesti
Shale gas extraction commonly known as fracking had support from the UK government with their ‘all out for shale’ policy. Despite this industry has struggled to establish itself mainly due to strong opposition from communities concerned about environmental and health impacts. Most research into the impacts of fracking is concerned with either environmental degradation or physical health impacts wh
Just how influential is rainfall on agricultural production in the Sudan-Sahel of Africa? And, is there evidence that support for small-scale farming can reduce the vulnerability of crop yields to rainfall in these sensitive agro-ecological zones? These questions are explored based on a case study from Cameroon's Sudan-Sahel region. Climate data for 20 years and crop production data for six major
When Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the world of sports took the joint decision to exclude them both from hosting events and Russian athletes from competing under the Russian flag. Among the events that were cancelled was the Formula One Grand Prix in Sochi. A month later a missile strike hit an oil refinery 10 kilometres outside of the circuit in Jeddah that wo
Förevarande uppsats syftar till att undersöka motiven bakom den reglemente-rade prostitutionens införande i Stockholm 1859. Vidare ämnar uppsatsen att besvara frågan om vilka skyddsintressen som lagstiftaren ville skydda i och med föreskrifternas införande. Den rättshistoriska metoden tillämpas i utred-ningen. I analysen används även ett genusrättsligt perspektiv. Uppsatsen gör ett nedslag i 1800This essay aims to examine the motives behind the introduction of regulated prostitution in Stockholm in 1859. Furthermore, the paper aims to answer the question of what interests the legislator wanted to protect through the regula-tions. The legal historical method is used, and a gender perspective is applied in the analysis. The subject of the investigation is the city of Stockholm during the 1
Inom EU har det sedan 2010-talet skett en progressiv utveckling där sociala hänsyn fått en större roll inom offentliga upphandlingar. Sedan upphandlingsdirektivet från 2014 finns det numera en skyldighet för EU:s medlemsländer att iaktta arbetsrättsliga skyldigheter i upphandlingsförfarandet, vilket också tydliggjorts genom EUD:s praxis. Hur dessa skyldigheter ska beaktas är dock fortfarande komplSince the 2010s, social considerations have played an increasingly significant role in EU public procurement. The 2014 Public Procurement Directive introduced an obligation for EU Member States to consider labour law in the procurement process, which has also been clarified by European Court of Justice. However, how this obligation should be considered remains complex. All terms and conditions in

This thesis aims to investigate the dialectics between urban planning and policy on the one hand and economic change and crises in the city of Malmö on the other, with a focus on both the city in general and the specific district of Western Harbour.

The paper examines the relationship between globalization, trade liberalization, income inequality, and poverty, emphasizing the conceptual and empirical challenges in identifying clear and causal links. The paper reviews theoretical predictions and empirical studies on how trade openness affects wages, employment, and income distribution.This paper examines the relationship between globalization, trade liberalization, income inequality, and poverty, emphasizing the conceptual and empirical challenges in identifying clear causal links. While inequality within many countries has risen in recent decades, evidence on global inequality trends remains inconclusive, with some findings suggesting a decline driven by growth in large develo
The aim of this paper is to propose a framework for the evaluation of policy instruments designed to affect development and dissemination of new energy technologies. The evaluation approach is based on the analysis of selected outcome indicators describing the process of technical change, i.e. the development and dissemination of new energy technologies, on the basis of a socio-technical systems a
