Hösten 2021 infördes ett nytt examensmål för lärarutbildningarna rörande lärarstudenternas förmåga att ”kommunicera och reflektera kring frågor som rör identitet, sexualitet och relationer”. För att våra studenter ska kunna uppfylla detta mål har vi inom historieämnet på ämneslärarutbildningen vid Örebro universitet infört ett obligatoriskt moment i form av en muntlig rollspelsövning.

This master's thesis, in collaboration with Comsys AB, examines the optimal size of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for two services - energy shifting and constant power delivery across the four price areas SE1, SE2, SE3, and SE4 in Sweden. For energy shifting applications, the optimal storage capacities were found to be 20 MWh (2 MWh/MW) in SE1, SE2, and SE4. However, a 0.5 MWh/MW stor

Min kandidatuppsats fokuserar på att analysera vilka möjligheter det finns att förena vinstsyftet enligt 3 kap. 3 § aktiebolagslagen med hållbarhet. Både hållbarhet och vinstsyfte är viktiga aspekter. Det är svårt att kombinera de två aspekterna i ett aktiebolag då vinstgenerering är det man strävar efter, detta kan leda till kollision med hållbarhetsaspekter. I det andra kapitlet ligger fokuset pMy bachelor's thesis focuses on analyzing the possibilities of reconciling the profit motive according to Chapter 3, Section 3 of the Swedish Companies Act with sustainability.
