Konstruktiv länkning, studentaktivitet och föreläsningar är tre grundstenar i högre utbildning. Men föreläsningen som undervisningsform har kritiserats: ”Det finns gott om högskolepedagogisk litteratur som förklarar varför föreläsningen är olämplig för att stimulera lärande. Ändå fortsätter vi föreläsa”, skriver Andreas Håkansson (2017, s. 40) i en artikel som trots allt landar i att denna undervi
Chemical communication using pheromones is crucial for the reproductive success of many insect species, including beetles(Coleoptera). Pheromones are detected by specialised odorant receptors (ORs), called pheromone receptors (PRs), in the sensoryneurons of the antennae. The PRs in Coleoptera remain understudied, with only a few receptors being functionally characterised.This limits our understand
In Swedish feminist debates of the 1960s and 1970s, the productive woman was frequently constructed as the binary opposite of the non-productive woman. The former was associated with liberation, moral integrity, and independence. The latter was characterized in terms of passivity, laziness, and dependence. By engaging in paid labour, or by otherwise demonstrating her contribution to the greater go
In the natural sciences, there are many processes involving the loss of tension in a stretched membrane. Thus, one can ask what would happen to a stretched membrane from which certain parts have been removed. One would see that overlapping parts result in some region of the membrane losing tension. Then, if one considers any part that loses tension to also be removed from the membrane, this newly
This report outlines a method to price and hedge a generalized swing option based on the European natural gas and electricity markets. The method is model free in that is does not assume a certain spot price dynamics. It only requires a forward curve and European call options prices that cover the delivery period of the swing option. The results is a lower bound derived from the price of forwards
The aim of this study was to investigate mental health and emotion regulation strategies of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children and adolescents. A survey was conducted, using questionnaires that also contained queries regarding the participants’ belief of the future. A total of 95 boys in the ages of 13 to 17 years old, living in seven refugee housing facilities, answered the questionnaire “The
As urban areas expand rapidly worldwide, wildlife is exposed to a wide range of novel environmental stressors, such as increased air pollution and artificial light at night. Birds in highly polluted and/or urbanized habitats have been found to have increased antioxidant protection, which is likely important to avoid accumulation of oxidative damage, which can have negative fitness consequences.

The private garden can be regarded as an important part of the house-owner’s home, but it is also the home of many other living organisms. Birds and mammals, insects, worms and not least plants live their lives intermingled in the contemporary human habitations of single-house suburbs. Thus, home gardens provide plenty of material to reflect on and handle biodiversity and sustainability issues in The private garden can be regarded as an important part of the house-owner's home, but it is also the home of many other living organisms.

A key question for evidence-based medicine (EBM) is how best to model the way in which EBM should‘[integrate] individual clinical expertise and the best external evidence’. We argue that the formulations and models available in the literature today are modest variations on a common theme and face very similar problems when it comes to risk analysis, which is here understood as a decision procedure

The reaction between the SO5– radical and MnII has been proposed to be the most important process for regeneration of MnIII in the MnIII/II-catalysed autoxidation of SIV in acidic aqueous solution. In the present study, the second-order rate constant for this reaction has been determined at pH 3. 0 and 10 mmol dm–3 ionic strength by use of pulse radiolysis. The study was performed in the presence
Forests are important ecosystems worldwide and in Sweden, where over half of the land is forested. Forestry management strategies significantly impact ecosystem productivity and carbon sequestration. This study focuses on comparing two prevalent forestry management strategies: Rotation Forestry (RF), which uses clearcutting as the prevalent timber extraction method, and Continuous Cover Forestry (
Research question: How do managers view control? (and) How do managers describe that they practice control when working at the office respectively while working from home as a result of covid-19? Purpose of study: The study aims to contribute to an increased understanding of how control is exercised and expressed in organizations during both office work and working from home, based on a managerial
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a part of the globalization process, a process increasing all over the world. These investments affect people, both in the home economy and the host economy. People in the host economy are, due to several aspects, affected in different ways. One of those aspects is gender. Gender inequality in the world is well known, women have less political, economic and socia
The financial crisis in 2008 enlightened several shortcomings in the performance of the banking sector. As a result of this a more rigid regulatory framework, Basel III, has been developed which raises the requirements of banks’ capital and liquidity structure and internal capital adequacy processes. This involves evaluating potential future risks related to the strategy and risk appetite of a ban
Vi har i detta examensarbete utfört samtidig mätning av värmeutveckling (hydratationshastigheten) och relativ fuktighet (självuttorkningen) hos hydratiserande cement. Denna studie har gjorts på fyra grundrecept med olika cement där vatteninnehållet har varierats för att få olika självuttorkning. Mätningarna av relativ fuktighet är utförda med RF-sensorer som ger utslag i millivolt som därefter omv
The paper investigates the phenomenon of double exploitation in ’passionate work’, where workers are exploiting themselves in their dedication to work and colleagues, simultaneously as being exposed to exploitation by employers and the industry at large. The study is based on an analysis of semi-structured interviews with game developers employed in the Swedish digital games industry.
