This project offers an initial evaluation of using the online learning platform Prezi as a tool for increasing student learning within a MA unit in human geography. It does this by comparing the use of Prezi to four other learning activities conducted during the course. The aim of the project is to see whether the use of this technology became an end in itself, thereby distracting students and det
Many studies demonstrate an intergenerational transmission of divorce (ITD). Most research is, however, limited to modern periods (i.e., more recent decades) and little is known about whether this relationship is deeply rooted or whether it has changed over time. Explanations, including sociodemographic and interpersonal factors, have been offered as links between parental divorce and offspring’s
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is a popular tool for the detection of extremely small quantities of target molecules. Au nanoparticles have been very successful in this respect due to local enhancement of the light intensity caused by their plasmon resonance. Furthermore, Au nanoparticles are biocompatible, and target substances can be easily attached to their surface. Here, we demonstrate th
Nanocomposite materials which are considered ‘green’ refer to non-toxic, biodegradable and renewable nanocomposites. The reasons of preferring green nanocomposites much more could be explained by environmental friendly, fully degradability, renewability and sustainability in all respects. Furthermore, the production of green nanocomposites should not be based on toxic chemicals. When their functio
Abstract in UndeterminedIn this paper the question “Why software vendors focus on roles when they aim at developing the future enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems?” is discussed. At the moment there is increasing interest in developing ERP systems that support a person's different working roles in the organisation, which could be described as role-based ERPs. It could be asked whether this
This paper examines Noun Incorporation (NI) in Hopi and presents evidence that Hopi has Type IV noun incorporation according to the typological classification presented in Mithun 1984. The incorporated noun (IN) is visible to discourse reference, NI can strand modifiers, and the IN can have a classificatory function. Hopi thus fulfills the criteria for a syntactic analysis as proposed in Baker 198
Dataflow is a Model of Computation (MoC) that describes applications as networks of actors. The CAL Actor Language (CAL) is one of the programming languages for describing such actors. A downside to CAL is that the actors and their networks are rigidly defined - it is not possible to have a parametric number of ports or actions in an actor. This makes it difficult to define flexible applications o
Research into entrepreneurship education has explored content, audience and pedagogy but much is still to be studied when it comes to the spatial dimensions of learning–that is, where entrepreneurship is taught, how this matters for pedagogies used, and the implications for learning. We seek to strengthen a theoretical foundation for understanding learning spaces and the spatial dimensions in entr
One of the main challenges in ecology and evolutionary biology is to understand how biodiversity emerges and is maintained, given the complexity of ecological and evolutionary processes combined. Understanding how multi-trophic interactions occur from a theoretical perspective is highly relevant for our understanding of diversification in complex ecosystems. Here, I explore how the diversification
Riktade nyemissioner är vanligt förekommande på den svenska aktiemark-naden. De används bland annat som ett alternativ för bolag att snabbt och kostnadseffektivt ta in kapital och att tillföra bolagen externa investerare. Be-fintliga aktieägare har dock enligt huvudregeln företrädesrätt att teckna nyemit-terade aktier i bolaget, och en riktad nyemission innebär en avvikelse från denna huvudregel. Directed share issues are common in the Swedish stock market. They are used, among other things, as an alternative for companies to raise capital quickly and cost-effectively and to attract external investors. However, exist-ing shareholders generally have preferential rights to subscribe to newly is-sued shares in the company, and a targeted share issue deviates from this gen-eral rule. Therefore
Det har länge diskuterats om klimatförändringen som ett symptom på förhöjda utsläpp av växthusgaser orsakar några effekter. Ett resultat av årtionden av ökade växthusgasutsläpp är nu att effekterna av klimatförändringen kraftigt visar sig. Varmare väder, oregelbundet regn och kraftigare stormar är bara några exempel på effekterna som utsläpp av växthusgaser orsakar. När en individ får sin fastigheClimate change has been an issue for a long time. However, it is only in recent years that the effects have been highlighted, resulting in a discussion about climate change liability. Warmer weather, irregular rain patterns and more extreme weather are just some of the effects of climate change. What does an individual do when their property is swept away by a sudden flash surge? Naturally, they w
Cancer is a disease condition where the cells proliferate uncontrollably leading to organ failure, metabolic collapse (cachexia), chronic inflammation combined with immune dysregulation, and many more. Out of the most prevailing cancers, breast cancer ranks second in the world of which 75% are diagnosed with hormone-dependent breast cancers. Bile Salt Stimulated Lipase(BSSL), a lipolytic enzyme se
The development of new wireless cellular network technologies is always in progress. As 3G has been considered the foundation of mobile broadband, the latest generation of cellular mobile communications, that is, 5G New Radio, is expected to realize the networked society, where everyone and everything are seamlessly connected everywhere and every time. To ensure the connectivity and provide the re
The main goal of this investigation is to determine the optimal number of cashiers to be employed in a first-in-first-out (FIFO) queuing system, based on the number of customer arrivals, the average revenue generated per customer, and the rate at which each customer abandons the queue, referred to as the reneging rate. This is done by using continuous-time homogeneous Markov Chains to model the ar
Voluntary Sector Organisation Public Partnerships (IOP) are a new collaboration form for voluntary and public organisations aiming to give financial support to a welfare service provided by the voluntary actor. The aim of this study is to examine to what extent a voluntary organisation can be independent in order to be able to advocate as an IOP-participant. The object of study is the Red Cross an
Title: Towards entering a new market: The role of Cooper’s stage-gate model in market knowledge absorption Date of the Seminar: 18.05.2016 Course: ENTN39 Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation Internship and Degree Project (Master’s thesis 15 ECTS) Authors: Tim Müller & Jukka Riitamäki Supervisor: Anna Brattström Keywords: stage-gate model, new product development, customer understandi
This study is of qualitative nature where the problem area, domestic violence, is analyzed through feminist theory, aided by a critical discourse analysis. The study aims to reveal if the discourse of an official report from the Swedish government, named SOU 2014:49, challenges or maintains a gender power order. This structure exists in the society and maintains men’s superiority to women and rein
Project has different basis that must be completed to be able to present a finished product. Knowledge of the area and how the projection works will be used in efforts to implement the empirical study. Design assumptions are divided into two groups where some items are specific to a particular product while others are general conditions in all projects. The goal is to identify the conditions and a
