I studien undersöks i vilken grad och på vilket sätt läroboksuppgifter i fysik, genom sin utformning, främjar gymnasieelevers begreppsförståelse. Begreppsförståelsen definieras som elevernas förmåga att använda kunskapen i nya sammanhang. Studien betonar lärobokens viktiga roll i att forma elevernas förståelse. Uppgifter som främjar begreppsförståelse bör exempelvis vara varierade och knyta an tilTextbook tasks are a critical part of physics education as they build a wide range of skills necessary for mastering the subject. This study evaluates the nature of tasks in three widely used Swedish high school physics textbooks, focusing on whether they enhance conceptual understanding or are primarily aimed at memorization of facts and procedural use of formulas and physical relationships. The

The ocean’s importance for human survival is indisputable. However, humanity's continuous impact on the ocean negatively affects its well-being. While this interrelation is acknowledged, only a few studies research the relationship between the ocean and societies. Thus, this study aimed to explore whether specific concepts and theories are necessary when analysing ocean-society relationships.

Body alignment is a spontaneous response documented in a variety of animals, including songbirds, however the biological significance of this behavior remains elusive for most taxa. Migratory songbirds rely on an endogenous migration program to migrate, and extract navigational information from celestial and magnetic cues. To investigate the body alignment behavior, the resting position of individ

Understanding what influences reproduction within populations is important to assess what changes are happening, especially for species with declining populations. In this study, I focus on a large seabird, the great skua (Stercorarius skua) which have been shown to have declining population trends in most of their breeding range in recent years. Skuas are long-lived species with delayed sexual ma

As society's capacity for data collection increases, the need for automated processing techniques becomes increasingly relevant. One way to evaluate data is to find the subset which does not conform to normal behaviour, i.e., anomalies. If the data is in the form of trajectories in some space, the algorithms used to find these are trajectory anomaly detection algorithms. In this paper, the tra

This thesis investigates buyer preferences in the procurement of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, which facilitates international cooperation through carbon markets. As ITMO markets are still in the early stages of development, uncertainties regarding regulatory frameworks, environmental integrity, and procurement strategies have eme

Nearly all multicellular organisms reproduce sexually, whereas asexual reproduction is predominant in unicellular species. However, it is unclear why we see such a tight co-occurrence between multicellularity and sex. Here, we investigate the effect sexual reproduction has on the evolution of multicellularity in the green algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, specifically on the variation and novel ph

Since we as architects have an influence on people‘s everyday routines in their homes, it is important to understand the most natural human needs in order to create spaces for a healthy and joyful life, which are strongly connected to the environment. The human body is a complex organism which is strongly influenced by its immediate surroundings, whilst responding with circadian rhythms to the eve

This thesis examines how girls are portrayed in Swedish adolescent literature from the 1940s and 1950s – Ingen tror på Britt (1947), Den svarta fläcken (1949), Inga och livet (1951), Ingen lugn stund hos Oskarssons (1953) and lastly, Flickan från landet: berättelse för flickor (1954). By taking a new historical approach a historical contextualisation has been done of the works by interpreting hist

The issue of dignity in the context of asylum seekers and their care has been widely discussed from various perspectives. As the rate of asylum-seeking increases, so too does the politics surrounding bare minimum standards. In the process of seeking asylum, individuals are increasingly forced to trade-off access to other rights. This study investigates the normative and human rights gaps in asylum

Bakgrund: Fler individer väljer att få dö i sitt eget hem. Syftet med palliativ vård är att främja livskvalitet och lindra lidande för individer med obotlig sjukdom. Sjuksköterskan har ett övergripande omvårdnadsansvar inom den palliativa vården och behöver kunna vara självständig och kunna fatta egna beslut. Det ställer höga krav på sjuksköterskan som arbetar i denna komplexa arbetsmiljö. Sjukskö

In 2018, the European daylight standard EN 17037:2018 was published to encourage designers and developers to assess and provide sufficient daylight in buildings. However, the revision process by the European Committee for Standardisation identified that the recommendations for daylight provision are often challenging to achieve; therefore, the technical committee for the daylight working group, th

Abstract: This thesis is an attempt to evaluate the pre-Christian and Christian and cult-place continuity question. This is done by investigating intervisibility between Christian Churches and pre-Christian grave monuments within the province of Halland, Sweden. This analysis was done via large statistical GIS databases of which viewshed analysis was applied to, which in turn was then interpreted

Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera matens och måltidens roll i litterär text. Begreppet måltid omfattar här många saker: inte bara själva maten och matvarorna, utan också hur den tillagas och konsumeras. Många författare har använt måltiden som ett konkret verktyg för att åskådliggöra till exempel var romanen utspelar sig geografiskt och under vilken tidsepok samt för att beskriva karaktärernasThe purpose of this essay is to analyze the role of food and meals in literary text. The concept of a meal here includes many things: not only the food and provisions themselves, but also how they are prepared and consumed. Many authors have used the meal as a concrete tool to illustrate, for example, where the novel takes place geographically and in what era, as well as to describe the characters

In products with multiple, movable components it is often important to know the position of them. Such an example is to localize the different optical modules used within a multidirectional surveillance camera. This thesis explores the feasibility of using ultrasound distance-measuring technology for that particular application. Various methods and technologies were examined before developing a co

Hur speglar användbarhetsproblem den upphandlade kravställningen? Vad är det viktigaste att kravställa inom digitala verksamhetssystem och hur görs det på bästa sätt? Det är frågorna som detta projekt har undersökt genom att utvärdera ett digitalt verksamhetssystem i två olika kommuner i Sverige. Genom intervjuer, enkätundersökningar, och utvärdering av upphandlingsdokumenten undersöktes hur kommu

Quadratic time-frequency representations are indispensable tools in non-stationary signal analysis. Thus the incorporation of such tools into signal detection is pre- dicted to yield more sensitive detectors especially in the context of non-stationary signal detection. We elucidate the theory of time-frequency representations and signal detection then implement a time-frequency detector using Wign
