Utbildningsstyrelsen har i samarbete med undervisnings- och kulturministeriet börjat utveckla rektorsutbildningarna mera målmedvetet än tidigare, i synnerhet de utbildningsprogram för läroanstalternas ledning som finansieras via programmet Kunnig (Osaava). En åtgärd som ansetts vara nödvändig som underlag för utvecklingsarbetet har varit att kartlägga olika länders praxis för utbildning av läroansThe Finnish National Board of Education, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Culture, has started to develop the training of rectors in a more systematic way by utilizing the funds which were allocated for the Osaava programme. One of the pre-liminary measures in this regard included a survey concerning the continuing education practices of school leaders on a worldwide basis. The

Computer simulation can provide valuable insight into the forces driving biomolecular liquid-liquid phase separation. However, the simulated systems have a limited size, which makes it important to minimize and control finite-size effects. Here, using a phenomenological free-energy ansatz, we investigate how the single-phase densities observed in a canonical system under coexistence conditions dep

This is an overview article regarding artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential normative implications. Technology has always had inherent normative consequences not least due to AI and the use of algorithms. There is a crucial difference between algorithms in a technical sense and from a social-science perspective. It is a question of different orders of normativity - the first related to th

Background: Preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could support safer elective surgery. Vaccine numbers are limited so this study aimed to inform their prioritization by modelling.Methods: The primary outcome was the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) to prevent one COVID-19-related death in 1 year. NNVs were based on postoperative SARS-CoV-2 rates and mortality in an international cohort study (surgi

Resorting more and more to e-learning means a thorough transformation of the teaching processes. Once the teacher-student communication is realized on yahoo-groups or Facebook-groups, the classical roles in the classroom become obsolete. With teachers having the possibility to enter in due time on students’ forums, the former relation of power in education moves to a collaborative one. More and mo

Sub Saharan African (SSA) countries are facing severe economic challenges such as high trade costs, poor trade performance and low growth levels. As a result development assistance is needed to overcome these difficulties. SSA countries receive the highest share of Aid for Trade (AfT) and therefore it is important to assess the effects of AfT. This study investigates the trade effect of AfT on tra

Title: Why do some municipalities stop using the balanced scorecard? - A case study in three Swedish municipalities. Seminar date: 2014-06-05 Course: FEKH69 Authors: Denice Klytsareff, Pär-Ola Olsson, Hanna Tengeborg Advisor: Mikael Hellström Key words: Balanced scorecard, not for profit, municipality, management control, organizational change. Purpose: To describe and analyze why some Swe

Den 20 juli 2017 kom regeringen med ett förslag om nya skatteregler för företagssektorn. Regeringen föreslår bland annat att det ska införas en generell ränteavdragsbegränsningsregel för företag. Samtidigt föreslås att de ränteavdragsbegränsningsregler som i skrivande stund gäller för ränta på lån mellan företag inom samma intressegemenskap ska behållas med vissa förändringar. Syftet med denna fraOn July the 20th 2017 the Swedish government announced a proposition about new rules regarding the taxation of companies. The proposition contained a general interest deduction limitation rule. At the same time, the government proposed that the interest deduction limitation rules in force at the time of writing should be kept with some changes. The purpose of this study is to examine which possibi

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of the prohibition to capitalise any development cost in SMEs, as required by IFRS for SMEs (section 18.14), on SMEs’ managers’ decisions on investments in development activities. Methodology: The methodology applied in this study is represented by an experimental approach structured in simulations built with Microsoft Excel. The emp

Placing focus on the culture of textiles, this project intends to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between textiles and landscape through the use of textiles as a poetic/ artistic tool in a design process. Specifically placing focus on Sweden as a site of exploration, it works from a regional to microscopic scale, examining techniques of textile production - weaving, non-weaving,

For most people getting a stroller is an obvious thing to do when having a baby. It’s mainly used for transportation of the baby but has other functions as well. For example, it is used as a storage, serves as a shopping bag for groceries and makes a perfect bed for a baby nap. Using a stroller should be easy and safe, but when it’s getting dark outside it can be hard to see the road ahead and fin

För att de globala utsläppen av CO2 ska minska bör industrier se över sin användning av olja och gas i sina processer och byta det till något som är CO2-neutralt. Om detta ska vara möjligt bör ersättningsbränslet vara förnyelsebart och samtidigt ha liknande förbränningsegenskaper som kan förväntas av olja och gas. Träpulver är ett bränsle som anses ha potential att uppfylla dessa krav. Denna rapTo reduce the global emissions of CO2, industries have to do an overview of their oil and gas usage in their processes and substitute it to something CO2-neutral. To implement this, the new fuel has to be renewable and have similar combustion properties as oil and natural gas. Pulverised wood is a fuel that is believed to fulfill these qualifications. This report is a investigation, based on a l

There have been many calls for higher education to facilitate a transition towards sustainability, in particular, with a social change dimension. Literature exists on the different learning outcomes and competencies expected of students in this process, but not much is written about learning approaches used within curriculums that can enable social change. This thesis aims to address this issue by

Föroreningar av mark- och vattenområden, så kallade föroreningsskador, medför i regel höga kostnader att avhjälpa. För att undvika att kostnaden belastar statsbudgeten har ett avhjälpandeansvar införts i 10 kap. miljöbalken, enligt vilket i första hand verksamhetsutövare har ett ansvar för utredning, efterbehandling och andra åtgärder som krävs för att avhjälpa en föroreningsskada. VerksamhetsutövAfter-treatment of polluted land or water areas usually entails high costs. To avoid that the cost burdens the state budget, an after-treatment liability was introduced in chapter 10 of the Environmental Code, according to which operators primarily shall be liable for the cost of investigation, after-treatment and other measures required to remedy the pollution damage. As a general rule, the conce

Background Introducing services for manufacturing companies can lead to improving customer satisfaction and new revenue streams as well as creating a more sustainable business. However, the current understanding of how this can be done in practice is limited. Purpose This master’s thesis investigates how a manufacturing company can generate sustainable value through the introduction of new repair

Due to both the effects of climate change and the high concentrations of infrastructure and socio-economic activity in low-lying areas in NYC, floods have the potential to destroy homes and businesses, impair infrastructure, and threaten human safety. Measurement, reporting, and verification are vital steps in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of a climate change adaptation efforts. Howe

Datadelning över företagsgränser är ett arbetssätt som tillgängliggör data för parter utanför dataägarens företag som annars inte hade haft tillgång till nämnd data. Arbetssättet blir alltmer vanligt och det finnes fördelar med att nyttja delning av data för att främja ekono-miska resultat. Det finns flera olika metoder för att dela data för företag att välja mellan, med olika fördelar för respekt
