International research has shown that through the involvement of the school library and the school librarian in the daily school work with the pupils, the pupil´s learning can be increased and reading comprehensions significantly improved. One purpose of this master`s thesis is to study the school librarian as a brand, representing the school library as well as the school librarian and whether th
This thesis aims to start from the Branco-Shatz submission aims to analyze the influence of social media in the Legal framework during the migration crisis in Italy through quantitive methods such as data scraping from the comments present in Facebook in public news agencies posts as well as word counting of both the legislation and the comments before mentioned. On top of that, qualitative method
Offentlig upphandling handlar om hur den offentliga sektorn ska agera vid inköp och har därmed en betydande påverkan på samhällsekonomin. Essentiella samhällsfunktioner som exempelvis sjukvård och skolor tillgodoses genom offentlig upphandling. Eftersom inköpen görs via skattemedel har samhällsmedborgare ett intresse av att förfarandet går rätt till. Vidare har leverantörer ett intresse av att förPublic procurement concerns how the public sector should act when making purchases and therefore has a great impact on the national economy. Fundamental societal functions such as healthcare and education are supported through public procurement. Because these purchases are made using tax revenue, citizens have an interest in ensuring that the procedure is conducted properly. Moreover, suppliers h
The following report contains a study over what happens with the proposals for action that is presented in fire investigations. Literature, 105 fire investigations and interviews were used to gather information. The literature shows that proposals for action are a natural conclusion in almost all investigation methods but little over half of the fire investigations present them and only a few had
The world is facing complex sustainability challenges, and the quest for a more sustainable world is characterized by uncertainty, both regarding goals and means. It is argued that this uncertainty requires a social learning process, where people collectively find shared problem perception and directions for sustainable solutions. The Swedish 4H farms have a great potential of being a platform for
This book is dedicated to the study of a problem which Biblical research has regarded a a central aspect of the OT understanding of God, namely, the thesis that the Deity was held to be the immediate author of all evils affecting both the individual and the nation of Israel a a whole. Examination of the exegetical literature dealing with this problem reveals that scholars have thought to find supp
Background Preterm birth is a significant contributor of under-five and newborn deaths globally. Recent estimates indicated that, Tanzania ranks the tenth country with the highest preterm birth rates in the world, and shares 2.2% of the global proportion of all preterm births. Previous studies applied binary regression models to determine predictors of preterm birth by collapsing gestational age a
The concept of prefiguration is drawing increasing interest as a lens to study the collective dynamic and transformative potential of alternative organizing. We introduce an analytical distinction between two modes of prefiguration. Situated prefiguration emphasizes affective bonds and direct struggle taking place in bounded organizational spaces, while distributed prefiguration manifests in wider
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing (RS) technology is an ideal tool to map flooded areas on account of its all-time, all-weather imaging capability. Existing SAR data-based change detection approaches lack well-discriminant change indices for reliable floodwater mapping. To resolve this issue, an unsupervised change detection approach, made up of two main steps, is proposed for detectin
Incubation temperature affects both growth and energy metabolism in birds after hatching. Changes in cellular mechanisms, including mitochondrial function, are a likely but unexplored explanation for these effects. To test whether temperature-dependent changes to mitochondria may link embryonic development to the post-natal phenotype, we incubated Japanese quail eggs at constant low (36.0°C), medi
Transfecting clonal beta cells with large DNA plasmids holds significant promise for diabetes research. Existing transfection techniques like lipofection, viral transduction, and bulk electroporation often face limitations such as low efficiency and cytotoxicity. Nanoelectroporation, which utilizes nanopores or nanostraws and the application of mild electrical pulses, offers a gentle and safe alte
Bark beetle species of the genera Ips and Dendroctonus represent a threat to forests in both North America and Europe. Under normal circumstances, these beetles recycle dying trees into nutrients, but under certain conditions, growing populations can overcome healthy tree defenses and cause severe economic loss in forestry. The most economically relevant bark beetle species communicate with aggreg
Road verges can support high densities of flowers and could therefore provide new opportunities for the conservation of flower-visiting insects. One way of optimizing road verges for vascular plant diversity is to adjust mowing regimes, but to date it is unclear how this affects flower-visiting insects. Furthermore, for mobile organisms like wild bees and butterflies, there is a risk that the bene
In the emergency department (ED), physicians and nurses make rapid, critical decisions. With the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), we aimed to explore whether AI decision support could offer clinical benefits in the ED.

Popular Abstract in English Popular scientific summary Interest in food and plants as sources of antioxidants has increased in recent years, since antioxidants are believed to have major health benefits. Food and plants have complex matrices made up of different compounds (polyphenols, antocyanidin, carotenoids, etc) that individually or jointly can act as antioxidants. Polyphenols and anthocyaniAbstract The constant need to improve health and to prevent disease in Bolivia, especially in the Andean region with its extreme environmental conditions (high altitude and lower temperatures), motivated us to extend studies of antioxidant sources in foods and plants, since antioxidants are believed to have major health benefits. Spectrophotometric methods, such as ABTS (2, 2’- azinobis-3-ethyl
