Ungefär 95% av alla barn i Sverige går i förskolan. Förskolans verksamhet ska följa de mål och riktlinjer som läroplanen för förskolan beskriver. Läroplanen beskriver bland annat områden som berör demokrati, värdegrund och att ta ansvar för att kunna skapa en framtid. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur och om två pedagogiska inriktningar påverkar pedagogernas förhållningssätt i verksamheten

The aim of this thesis is to answer the question how the interconnection of two success factors contribute to the individual elements of the Front End of Innovation, as identified by Koen et al. (2001). The distinguished success factors are; the integration of marketing & sales and research & development, and customer involvement (Florén et al. 2018). To get a thorough understanding of the

According to Christopher Vogler, all unforgettable stories contain a distinctive dramatic structure and an evolving hero accompanied by other archetypical characters. This essay examines the popular children’s book Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, and which impact the different archetypes in the story have on Percy’s growth as a hero. Traditionally, the mentor archetype is mostly credited fo

In the automotive sector purchasing plays a key role in strategic management, as most companies are pressured by constant innovation and cost pressure. Hence, most companies focus on lean management and outsource many of their business activities to stay competitive. The supplier selection is crucial to be able to efficiently and effectively carry out business operations. Therefore, in order to es

BVOC emissions from trees contribute to ozone and secondary aerosol formation and therefore have an impact on air quality. The two most abundant BVOCs emitted from trees are isoprene and monoterpenes. In urban areas, air pollution levels are already elevated and high rates of isoprene and monoterpene emissions from trees will potentially contribute to even higher levels of ozone and aerosols in th

In 2016 the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI) decided to modify its resistance strategy towards the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI). This study analyses political imaginations within the displaced KDPI community in Iraqi Kurdistan through a social constructivist paradigm and the methods of observations and interviews. Findings highlight “insider views” of resistance and outline how identity

Increasing water demand and water security risks are global concerns for societal prosperity and business continuity as clean water is a critical input in several industrial processes. Understanding water risks is a complex field and few studies exists on the effects of water supply disruptions on industries. Economic impact assessment of water shortages is therefore important for insurance and ri

Single use medical devices have been the widespread practice for clinical work for many years. However, the negative environmental impacts of using disposable products have also attracted attention worldwide. To choose a disposable or reusable medical device should not only encompass economic and clinical safety aspects but also environmental impact. This study has compared environmental impact be

I arbetslivet överlag är förekomsten av distraktioner många gånger en problemkälla och begreppet kognitiv ergonomi har på senare tid fått ökat fokus. I det här arbetet undersöktes hur arbetsprestationen under visuella sökuppgifter utifrån auditiva instruktioner påverkades av auditiva (ickeverbala) distraktioner under låg respektive hög load. Load manipulerades genom förekomsten av distraherande viThe occurrence of distractors is often a factor reducing the productivity in workspaces and cognitive ergonomics has gained increased focus. This work investigated how auditory (nonverbal) distractions during low and high load influenced the performance of a visual search task based on auditory instructions. Load was manipulated by the presence of distracting visual stimuli. The result showed that

I detta arbete har det visats att artificiella neuronnät är lämpliga för att lösa svåra inversproblem inom kvantfysik. Relativt enkla program har använts för att räkna ut kvantmekaniska potentialer från antingen deras energispektrum, eller hur partiklar fördelar sig i dem. Vilket visar på att denna teknik skulle kunna vara lämplig för andra svårare problem i området. Det skulle också kunna användaInverse problems are important in quantum physics as their solutions are essential in order to describe a number of systems using measurable information, e.g. excitation energies or material properties. The problem with inverse problems is that they are usually very hard to solve. One method that could be useful in solving these problems is artificial neural networks. Artificial neural networks ha

Controlled water activity in an enzymatic reaction can influence enzyme activity and productivity. A small layer of water around an enzyme gives it a required flexibility to catalyze reactions at a higher rate in contrast with the one that is dry (Adlercreutz, Dicko, Larsson, & Månsson, 2017). The hypothesis of this research project is that the product yield and productivity of acidolysis and

Medias framställningar om hemlösa och hemlöshet påverkar övriga samhällsmedborgares föreställningar om hemlösa och hemlöshet och i sin tur hur hemlösa bemöts och behandlas. Normerade samhällsgrupper dikterar genom media hemlösas livsvillkor och sociala roller. En konsekvens av detta är att hemlösa stigmatiseras. Denna uppsats utforskar genom kvalitativa metoder medias framställningar av hemlösa oc

Self-driving vehicles is a highly anticipated technology for increasing the safety and efficiency of automotive transportation systems by removing the risk of human errors. Volvo Car Corporation is determined to produce vehicles of full autonomy and highest safety within the near future. To achieve this goal, Volvo Cars is in parallel with the development of autonomous vehicles setting up a sophis

Knowledge about the gas-phase close to an active catalyst is essential in order to understand the properties of the catalytic reaction process. By the use of planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF), the gas-phase can be visualized with high spatial and temporal resolution without affecting the catalyst. In this work, catalytic CO oxidation over a Pd(100) catalyst is investigated using laser-induc

Efter kontakt med exploateringsavdelningen på WSP i Stockholm fick vi förslaget att,i samarbete med dem, titta närmare på hur kostnader för utbyggnad av allmän platsfördelas när fler än en exploatör verkar inom samma detaljplan. En fråga som WSP, iform av rådgivande konsulter, anser är intressant att undersöka. 6 kap. 40 § plan- och bygglagen (2010:900) ligger till grund för kommunens rätt att taThe aim of this paper is to represent various distribution principles that occur when a municipality divide costs for expansion of public space between developers who act in the same detailed development plan. We will look at different principles to divide costs, compare projects, investigate geographical differences, compare the cost that is debited and discuss transparency in the land developme

In this essay, practices of “nation branding” will be explored through the representations of migration, gender (and nation) of the exhibition Portraits of Migration, produced by the Swedish Institute and promoted through Swedish embassies and consulates worldwide. Theoretically, the essay is inspired by the tradition of British cultural studies and of feminist postcolonial exploration of nationho

Derivative models often come in the form of stochastic differential equations. From these equations a partial differential equation (PDE) can be derived. By discretizing the PDE the numerical solution is obtained on a form where the value of the derivative can be seen as a probabilistic weighting of future values. These probabilities can be used to simulate trajectories of the under- lying assets.

This project aimed to develop a vegan high-protein probiotic drink with two different tastes. The protein used should have similar quality as whey, amino acid score (AAS) 1.0. One aim was also to detect necessary processing steps. The protein sources studied for this application were oat, pea, pea+rice, hydrolyzed pea, soy, and potato. The protein sources were evaluated based on descriptive sensor
