Muntlig kontinuerlig examination

I en stor grundkurs har teknologen fått möjlighet att varannan vecka redovisa muntligt att han/hon räknat och förstått alla föreskrivna exempel. Dessutom krävs godkänt på en obligatorisk kontroll- skrivning. För högre betyg och som alternativ till den muntliga kontinuer- liga examinationen finns en skriftlig tentamen. Positiva effekter är att teknologen arbetar med kursen under kursens hela gång,

Lost in Transitions: Sustainability Strategies and Social Contexts

Popular Abstract in Swedish Företag efterfrågas alltmer att tillhandahålla innovativa lösningar som adresserar miljöproblem och sociala aspekter, såsom ihållande fattigdom, miljöförstöring och klimatförändringar. Paradoxen i denna efterfråga är att under den gällande ekonomiska logiken, kommer de flesta företag finna arbetet på dessa gränssnitt problematiskt. Någon form av spänning är oundvikligt Corporations are increasingly asked to provide innovative solutions to address environmental and social concerns, such as persistent poverty, pollution and climate change. The paradox in this call is that within the current economic logic, most companies will continue to find working at these interfaces problematic. Some sort of tension is inevitable because of the conflicting and competing demand

Virtual Personal Assistant

Abstract This report discusses ways in which new technology could be harnessed to create an intelligent Virtual Personal Assistant (VPA) with a focus on user-based information. It will look at examples of intelligent programs with natural language processing that are currently available, with different categories of support, and examine the potential usefulness of one specific piece of software as

Motivating factors towards willingness to contribute in collaborative tasks: A crisis cooperation perspective

The interaction among various stakeholder organizations in modern crisis response is very similar to negotiation where each organization has its own goal in addition to a common goal. Decision makers in stakeholder organizations most often have to settle for win-win situations to attain higher joint benefit. In such cases willingness to contribute in joint tasks becomes a prerequisite. In our pres

Sex allocation in Savi’s Warblers Locustella luscinioides: multiple factors affect seasonal trends in brood sex ratios.

Sex allocation theory predicts that whenever the relative fitness of sons and daughters differ, females should invest more in the sex with the greatest fitness return. In this study, we evaluated the influence of various ecological factors on the brood sex ratio (BSR) of Savi’s warblers (Locustella luscinioides) across several breeding seasons. There was a slight but significant female production

Studenters uppmärksamhet under föreläsningar

Föreläsningar är vanlig undervisningsform på Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH). Deras stora fördel är att information överförs ekonomiskt och effektivt till många studenter samtidigt men de har även sina begränsningar. Kritiker menar att information överförs till passivt mottagande studenter och att bristande uppmärksamhet och engagemang hos studenterna begränsar mängden kunskap som faktiskt tas emot.

Design as a linguistic activity

Design starts with a cognitive model and ends with a solution worked out in a way that fits into the human context of meaning which is socially decided. The bridge between the cognitive model and the final system, or thing, is a proper description that has to be possible to socially communicate. The necessary description part leads to the understanding that design, like sciences, is a kind of lear

Effects of created habitats on farmland biodiversity

Popular Abstract in Swedish Stora förändringar har skett i jordbrukslandskapet under det senaste drygt halva århundradet. Ett allt intensivare jordbruk med krav på större skördar för att möta en allt större efterfrågan på livsmedel har satt sina spår. För att klara de högre kraven, men också som en följd av den teknologiska utvecklingen, så har jordbruket rationaliserats. Landskapet har strukturerAgricultural intensification has caused severe declines among biodiversity in European farmland over the last half century. The transformation of the agricultural landscape has led to reduced availability of key resources such as food, nesting habitat and shelter. In this thesis I have investigated a way of ameliorating the negative effects of agricultural intensification, through the creation of

Vandalism as a Symbolic Act in Free Zones

The concept of vandalism is analyzed as a symbolic act. An analysis of vandalism from a situational-positivistic, or a motivational-psychological, approach hardly gives an understanding of vandalism as a meaningful individual and social act. A humanistic and cultural perspective can supply ways to understand a nonprescribed behavior such as vandalism. The original meaning of vandalism is plunderin
