There is a heated debate on what teaching practices should be used to foster the skills students need for the current and future workplace. The 21st-century skills movement, among others, argue that 21st-century skills such as creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration should be actively taught to students using more modern teaching practices (for example students working in small groups and

With the forces of globalization, previously safe home markets open up to foreign competition. This urges companies to expand internationally to keep growing. Current literature on how a company should enter a foreign market, namely the choice of entry mode, is based on findings for manufacturing firms and studies on service firms are scarce. In recent years, the service sector has grown steadily

Cross-presentation is an essential mechanism of the immune system when it comes to fighting viruses and tumors. Oropharyngeal cancer (OPC), which can affect tonsillar tissue, is highly associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and CD8+ T-cells directed towards killing HPV-infected cells could prove to be a promising treatment of HPV-induced OPCs. In this study, the expression

This paper examines the use of history on the website This is the Real Spain run by the Spanish nation branding project España Global.

Nation-wide access to sustainable energy is central to socio-economic development in Malawi. It is particularly challenging in rural areas where a significant amount of the population does not have access to energy, let alone sustainable energy. Nonetheless, renewable electricity deployment is slowly increasing in rural Malawi and manifests itself on the local, national as well as the internationa

This examination approaches the field known as fat studies, which by critical problematisation challenges the dominating view of the fat body. Using the discourse analysis What´s the problem represented to be? problem representations regarding body weight, health and weight loss surgery by the association HOBS (Hälsa oberoende av storlek) and the project Feta tankar are compared in relation to a d

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka och analysera om den nationella inkorporeringen av Barnkonventionen (CRC) har någon inverkan på den svenska abortlagstiftningen, eftersom det i konventionens preambel konstateras att ett barn måste inneha särskilt skydd både före och efter födseln. Syftet är också att analysera vem som ses som ett barn och därmed rättighetsinnehavare. Frågan som uppsatsen

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur jag genom begränsningar kunde förenkla min kompositionsprocess. Jag genomförde kvalitativa intervjuer med tre kompositörer av olika bakgrund om vilka ramar och regler de använder när dem komponerar. Sedan sammanfattade jag och valde ut några av dem att följa strikt när jag själv komponerade för min sextett. Uppsatsen sökte besvara frågeställningarna: The purpose of this study was to examine how I could simplify my compositional process through limitations. I implemented qualitative interviews with three composers with different backgrounds about which frameworks and rules they use when they compose. Then I summarized and chose to follow some of them strictly when I composed for my sextet. The essay sought to answer the questions of issue: “W

Utifrån samhällseffekterna av coronaviruset har allt fler verksamheter börjat använda sig av distansmöten. Närmare bestämt har många möten inom organisationer överförts till en digital dimension så att anställda kan kommunicera virtuellt (med virtuella möten). Förutom detta kan virtuella möten medföra fördelar såsom kostnads-och tidseffektivitet och mindre resor, där det sista förstås leder till m

Turkey's turbulent political atmosphere and recent upturns in crime and youth unemployment make it an interesting context to study the role of civil society in dealing with implications of socioeconomic disadvantage. The aim of this paper is to investigate how Turkey's NGO sector works in minority communities in ways that can hinder criminality in disadvantaged youth. In order to understan

Bakgrund: Detta projekt undersöker om det är möjligt att utveckla en kalibreringsmodell utifrån spektroskopiska mätningar i det nära infraröda (NIR) området, för bestämning av mängden och typen av fiberfraktioner i proteinpulver producerat från baljväxten alfalfa, utan att utföra våtexperiment. Alfalfa benämnas även Medicago sativa och lucerne, men kallas inom detta projekt alfalfa. En sådan typ aBackground: This project investigates if it is possible to develop a calibration model from near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic measurements, for determination of the amount and type of fibre fractions within protein powder produced from the legume alfalfa, without performing wet experiments. Alfalfa is also known as Medicago sativa and lucerne, but is in this project further referred to as alfalfa.

Syftet med den kvantitativa studien var att undersöka attityder inom olika grupper av anställda som arbetar med äldreomsorg i relation till användning av digitaliserade scheman. Med hjälp av det teoretiska perspektivet krav-, kontroll- och stödmodellen undersökte vi upplevelsen av att arbeta med digitaliserade scheman och den psykosociala arbetsmiljön. Resultatet utvisade inte någon skillnad mellaThe purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate attitudes within different groups ofemployees working with home care for the elderly, in relation to the use of digitized schedules. Using the theoretical perspective of the demand, control and support model, we investigated the experience of working with digitized schedules and the psychosocial working environment.

The task is to analyze the interaction between three bodies in the same circuit. This is about the organizational field of financing a museum. The museum used as a case is Regan Vest - part of the North Jutland Historical Museum. Through a qualitative study of relevant sources, such as previous research in the field, legislative texts and relevant guidelines, it must use the collected interview m

BvHb1.2 is a sugar beet haemoglobin (Hb) and a good candidate to be used as an artificial oxygen carrier (AOC). 19 mutants of BvHb1.2 were produced with random mutagenesis and expressed in BL-21 E. coli. The Hb content in whole cells was determined by using a refraction index modifier by mixing cell suspensions with 35% BSA. The two mutants (4 and 15) with the highest Hb production were purified u

Anthropogenic climate change poses new challenges to smallholder farmers in the Global South. At the farm level, science-based adaptation measures, as well as farmers’ autonomous responses based on indigenous knowledge, are simultaneously in use. This thesis investigates their linkages by assessing the role of indigenous knowledge for the development of modern climate change adaptation strategies

Lesion detection is a critical task for medical image understanding. While the problem has been widely addressed in a supervised semantic segmentation manner, the problem clinically appears more similar to novelty detection with few or no annotations for the lesion. The reason is two-fold: 1) it is intuitively easier to collect large dataset from healthy individuals than that from a specific type

Most women opt for so called cosmesis, a cover which mimics the look of a leg, on their prostheses in order to get real-looking legs. Their male counterparts usually choose to show the entire construction or parts of the raw prosthesis. However the cosmesis is in many cases lowering the functionality of the prosthetic leg. In this project, 8 female and 2 male lower-leg amputees were interviewed i

The focus of this project has been to create a product that can make us feel closer to nature. Avium is an aroma diffuser in which you use local plants instead of essential oils. It uses the same kind of process that is used when producing essential oils but it releases the fumes directly into the room instead of condensing it. The idea is that instead of buying essential oils in the store you wil
