Differentiated instruction is a widely known approach used in different educational settings, especially in diverse classrooms. Teachers are expected to be able to meet the need of all learners and differentiate instructional parameters such as content, process and product accordingly. While previous research has shown that a successful implementation of the concept is beneficial for the students,

Buildings are a are a major consumer of energy in urban areas. The use of solar energy in buildings can help reduce CO2 emitting energy consumption in these urban areas. One way to use solar energy is through passive solar energy systems. Passive solar energy systems allow a building to use daylight as an energy source. The use of daylight as passive solar energy in Sweden could reduce the energy

Due to the serious problem of greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere driving global warming, the need for sustainable initiatives has become an imperative for companies which leads to the necessity of operating sustainably. However, to avoid taking a weak approach to sustainability, it is imperative for companies to carry out a transition involving all three dimensions (environmental, economic

Denna avhandling är resultatet av en kvalitativ studie som undersöker identitetsskapande och upprätthållande av sociala normer på sociala medieplattformen LinkedIn. Metodvalet för att genomföra detta var den kvalitativa och etnografiska undersökningsmetoden nätnografi. En digital frågelista konstruerades på enkätplattformen Survio, med öppna frågor och besvarades av respondenter som i någon mån ärThe purpose of this thesis is to provide an overview of how identity and social norms are created and maintained through online social media. To limit the scope of the analysis, only the social media platform LinkedIn and its social landscape have been used in this study. The method used to answer the purpose was the netnography ethnographic research method, conducted with open-ended questions in

Idag präglas världen av teknikutvecklingen som både anses vara en fördel och en nackdel. För den kriminella världen och organiserade ekonomiska brottsligheten är digitaliseringen en fördel. Moderna tekniska lösningar gör det enklare för gärningsmännen att begå brott, såsom penningtvätt vilket regleras i penningtvättslagen (2017:630). Penningtvättsbrott förekommer både nationellt som internationellToday, the world is characterized by technological development that could be considered both as an advantage and a disadvantage. For the criminal world and organized economic crime, digitalization is seen as an advantage. The modern technical solutions make it easier for the perpetrators to commit crimes, such as money laundering which is regulated in the Money Laundering Act (2017:630). Money lau

Denna kvalitativa intervjustudies syfte är att undersöka hur och om organisationer/företag motverkar diskriminering under rekryteringsprocessen. Detta gjordes genom att intervjua nio enskilda rekryterare inom, främst, konsult- och bemanningsbranschen. Genom intervjuerna fick jag ta del av deras rekryteringsprocesser och hur de arbetar med diskriminering Intervjuerna har analyserat genom en tolknin

Begreppet lojalitetsplikt har sitt ursprung i den romerska rätten och har sedan dess spridits till stora delar av västvärlden. Lojalitetsplikten brukar definieras som en plikt att iaktta, eller att tillvarata, motpartens intressen. Lojalitetsplikten gäller som en allmän rättsprincip även om dess betydelse i avtalsförhållanden länge var ifrågasatt. Under senare tid har debatten om vad den innebär fThe contractual principle of loyalty origins from Roman law and has since then spread to most parts of the western world. The general definition of the principle is that a party has a duty to consider the interests of the counterpart. Nowadays the principle of loyalty has become a general principle of law, even if its status in contractual relations was questioned for a long period of time. It ha

Due to social and environmental crises, the concept of sustainability has grown in importance in our society over the past years. Things are changing, even in the financial industry. From the perspective of investors, the general public, and enterprises, Corporate Social Responsibility and the creation of sustainable value are becoming more and more significant. One of the most cutting-edge tools

Research has identified the central role played by shame within a wide spectrum of public health issues including several common and serious threats to psychological and physical public health including depressions, dependency of substances, eating disorders, suicide, violence and sexual abuse. Shame has been described as “the master emotion of everyday life” but it is an emotional condition which

Now AI is being used nearly in everything we have. Ranging from hand-wrest watches to household systems used inside houses. According to a report by McKinsey and Co, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to have a significant impact on the economy in the coming years, with the potential to add trillions of dollars annually to the global economy. Furthermore, advances in algorithms and data coll

The influence of gender is increasingly emphasized as an important component to consider in relation to climate change and adaptation. Despite this, it is still relatively unclear how civil society actors address and incorporate gender dimensions into climate change and adaptation practices. Based on qualitative interviews with practitioners working at different civil society organizations in Ugan

För att förbättra framkomligheten och minska sårbarheten hos transportsystemet i Stockholmsregionen bygger Trafikverket genomfartsleden E4 Förbifart Stockholm. Vägen är till stor del förlagd i tunnel. Inläckage av grundvatten genom tunnelkonturen är mer eller mindre oundvikligt, och om inläckaget är för stort kan det orsaka förändringar i grundvattennivån i stora områden kring tunnelsträckan. UndeIn order to improve the accessibility and reduce the vulnerability of the transport system in Stockholm, the Swedish Transport Administration is building the bypass E4 Förbifart Stockholm (Stockholm Bypass). Most of the road will be located in tunnels. Groundwater leakage through the tunnel walls, bottom and roof is more or less inevitable, and if the leakage becomes too great it can cause disturb

The inability to provide adequate education for refugee children in Transit and Reception Centres in the Republic of North Macedonia during the refugee crisis (2016-2017), defines the context-specific precarious conditions that stimulated teachers on-the-ground to seek new educational methods. The research questions inquire about the teachers’ methods outside the scope of formal/non-formal educati

Supramolekulär kemi är ett fält inom kemi där samlingar av molekyler som hålls ihop av olika ickebindande interaktioner mellan molekylerna studeras. Dessa bindingar kan ses som två legobitar som sätts ihop, där legobitarna är molekylerna och det ickebindinade interaktionerna är passformen som håller dem på plats. Legobitarna kan tas isär med mindre kraft än vad det krävs för att dela en bit lego. Hydrogen bonding based self-assembly is prevalent throughout nature dictating the folding of proteins and DNA. Hydrogen bonding has been utilized for self-assembly of small monomers into aggregates of varying size and shape. Potential applications of these aggregates could be creation of ion channels, formation of inclusion complex for delivery of drugs or capture of hazardous material in water su

The existence and staffing of reference desks in academic libraries has been a topic of debate for at least 30 years. As digital library services have grown in significance, some argue that the physical desk no longer serves the needs and wishes of patrons. The use of the academic librarian behind the desk has also been questioned – studies have shown a gain in efficiency when letting student work

Samhället genomgår en konstant digital omvandling och utveckling. Detta gör att arbetstagare och deras arbete är i konstant förändring. Denna process har accelererat senaste åren. Samhällets kapacitet att svara på yttre omständigheter kom att testas under Covid-19 Pandemin. Denna uppsats undersöker hur det digitala skiftet under i början av, samt efter pandemin påverkat och mottagits av arbetstaga

Planning safe paths in the presence of uncertainty is considered a central challenge in enabling robots to successfully navigate in real-world environments. Assumptions about Gaussian uncertainty are rarely justifiable based on real data and can lead to serious miscalculations of risk. Lately, it has become increasingly common to consider distributionally robust uncertainty, where the exact distri
