Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore in what way gradually increasing teachers’ theory-based instruction affects the students’ learning outcomes, illustrated by the example of learning how to regulate body tension in the upper secondary school. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 72 students from four classes participated in the study. The way the students were offered to understa

The discovery of ferroelectricity in CMOS-compatible oxides, such as doped hafnium oxide, has opened new possibilities for electronics by reviving the use of ferroelectric implementations on modern technology platforms. This thesis presents the ground-up integration of ferroelectric HfO2 on a thermally sensitive III-V nanowire platform leading to the successful implementation of ferroelectric tran

Archaeological data repositories usually manage excavation data collections as project-level entities with restricted capacities to facilitate search or aggregation of excavation data at the sub-collection level (trenches, finds, season reports or excavation diaries etc.). More granular access to excavation data collections would enable layered querying across their informational content. In the p

This PhD thesis examines how application of 3D visualization and related digital analytical tools is having a transformative impact on archaeological practice via improvement of visual-spatial thinking and the strengthening of conceptual understanding. However, the deployment of these new digital methods is essentially still at an experimental stage. Therefore, the thesis undertakes a critical eva

Blood group antigens may be used as receptors by pathogens when infecting their hosts. Different blood groups therefore can be disease susceptibility factors. Thus, pathogens may have exerted a selection pressure on the evolution of blood group diversity. One aim of our study was to identify red blood cell (RBC) membrane structures that are bound by the common human pathogen. Streptococcus pyogene

The present thesis investigated how listeners use prosody to rapidly predict upcoming lexical and syntactic structures. In the first three studies, it was shown that listeners take advantage of Swedish word-level tones to pre- activate upcoming word endings. Every Swedish word has a tone on the word stem – known as a ‘word accent’ – which is either low or high, and the tone is assigned to the stem

Contemporary debates on sustainability usually relies on standardised and normative categories, such as ‘social’ and ‘nature’, and on linear notions of time. This study explores a more complex perspective on the delicate borderlands between the ‘un-sustainable’ and the ‘sustainable’. A particular material and a particular place stand at the centre of attention: woollen Merino fibre on the South Am

Energy-intensive processing industries like the concrete industry form the base of the economy and account for a large part of global greenhouse gas emissions. Sectoral transformation to cleaner basic materials is therefore crucial, and institutional pressure to do so is increasing. However, socio-technical studies have not sufficiently addressed these sectors. This paper therefore sets out to ana

Popular Abstract in Swedish En indikator-jon för en kvantdator Ända sedan transistorn uppfanns 1948 har datorer blivit allt mer kraftfulla. Trots den enorma utveckling som skett finns det fortfarande problem som är för svåra för en dator att lösa. Ett exempel är simulering av stora molekyler, t.ex. proteiner, vilket skulle vara användbart inom medicin och biologi, bland annat för att förutsäga hRare-earth ions doped into a transparent crystal can have optically excited states with coherence times of milliseconds and hyperfine levels with coherence times of hours when cooled down to liquid helium temperatures. This makes them attractive for developing quantum computing hardware. A quantum transistor can be implemented in a rare-earth-ion-doped crystal by utilizing a dipole blockade effe

Den traditionella synen i fordringsmål är att den borgenär som kräver betalning på grund av påstådd försträckning måste styrka att denne har en fordran mot utpekad gäldenär. Denna utgångspunkt slogs fast i Högsta domstolens dom NJA 1975 s. 577 och har sedan dess varit huvudregeln i fordringsmål. I samband med 1975 års avgörande lanserades en särskild presumtionsregel. Högsta domstolen menade att dThe traditional view in Swedish law is that a creditor who demands payment from a debtor based on an alleged loan must prove that a loan agreement has been concluded between the parties. This general rule was established by the Supreme Court of Sweden in case NJA 1975 p. 577 and has ever since been the principle. In connection with the 1975 decision, the Supreme Court launched a special presumptio

Målsättningen att minska koldioxidutsläppen i världen har lett till en ökad efterfrågan på elbilar. Elbilar ses som en nyckelfaktor för EU:s omställning till en klimatneutral ekonomi. Det ökar efterfrågan på nödvändiga råvaror till elbilsbatterier som EU vill trygga tillgången på. För det ändamålet har kommissionen tagit fram en handlingsplan om batterier. Handlingsplanen om batterier identifierarThe goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the world has led to increased demand for electric cars. Electric cars are seen as a key factor for the EU's transition to a climate-neutral economy. This increases the demand for the necessary raw materials for electric car batteries, which the EU wants to secure access to. To this end, the Commission has drawn up an action plan on batteries. T

Termen konkurrens uppfattas ofta som mångtydig. Trots dess ansedda mångtydighet företar konkurrensrätten som rättsområde att skydda konkurrensen. Sällan förekommer diskussioner i den juridiska litteraturen gällande betydelsen av konkurrens. De definitioner som har angetts förefaller undermåliga i relation to ordets allmänna innebörd. Hur kan vi då ha sammanhållet rättsområde samt skydda konkurrensThe word competition is often regarded as being ambiguous. Despite the word’s ambiguity the field of competition law undertakes to protect competition. In the legal literature the definition of the meaning of the word is seldom discussed. When it is being defined, the definitions appear to be inadequate regarding the words meaning in everyday speech. How it is then possible to have a coherent area

Skånes konsumtion kan påverka en hållbar utveckling i världen Hur påverkar lokala politiska åtgärder implementationen av Agenda 2030? Finns det en risk för att åtgärder motverkar en hållbar utveckling? En växande konsumtion är en av världens stora hållbarhetsutmaningar. Överexploatering av naturresurser och föroreningar i luft och vatten är några av konsekvenserna. Konsumtion i Skåne påverkar omgThe pace of implementing the 17 global sustainability goals must increase drastically. The complexity of the goals is a challenge and mapping out interactions between them is identified as a way to explore their system properties and improve implementation. Sustainability goal 12 (sustainable consumption and production) has been suggested as one of the areas that affects and interacts with most ot

In people’s modern life, daily usage of artificial compounds such as active pharmaceuticals ingredients (API) is usual. These compounds are likely to end up as micropollutants in the municipal wastewater. Municipal wastewater is the major source of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment. These chemicals can affect the health and behavior of wildlife and the local ecological system. Thus, it is

At the turn of the century the Commission announced its intention to introduce a ‘more economic approach’ to EU competition law. Beyond incorporating modern economic theory into its enforcement practices, such a modernised approach to competition law was also to entail bringing the Union’s competition policy objectives in line with such modern economic theory. In particular, as expressed by Mario

The process of globalisation, accompanied by sustainable development considerations, has turned the spotlight on ties between states’ trade interests and their commitment to upholding labour rights. With negotiations on connecting the existent multilateral trading framework to the labour rights perspective at an impasse, major world economies have introduced alternative ways of linking labour conc

This paper seeks to provide an analytical framework for designing a more effective law enforcement for the crime of commercial sexual exploitation of children. The author has chosen to focus on a group of children particularly at risk in the society due to the lack of attention, namely accompanied children in the migration process. Out of a total of 1086 asylum seeking accompanied children arriv
