We have investigated the possibilities to quantify how much stars move in theMilkyWay disc due to diffuse processes (blurring) and due to influences from spiral arms and the bar (churning). We assume that the formation radius of a star can be inferred if we know its elemental abundances and age and the metallicity profile of the interstellar medium at the time of the star's formation. We use data

This paper discusses the importance of learning to understand the three-dimensionality of astronomical objects, in particular nebulae. After collecting data from students' and professors' discernment of 3D we finds that this is difficult for both students and professors, which highlights the importance of addressing extrapolating three-dimensionality in astronomy education.

In English Language Teaching in Sweden, the entextualized ideology is monolingual, i.e., English Only (Hult, 2017; Lundahl, 2012). Evidence from a large-scale classroom observation study (Swedish Schools Inspectorate, 2011) and a smaller-scale classroom-interaction study (Authors 3 & 4 2016) reveals a de facto bilingual policy of both English and Swedish enacted in classrooms, however. As stud

With the over-arching aim of contributing to the development of evidence-based teaching practices, this colloquium provides a forum for scholars doing research on language practices in the teaching of English as a foreign/second language (L2) in mainstream schools in Scandinavia. In Sweden, the English teaching profession has long been guided by monolingual, English Only, ideology, particularly at

A pressing issue in multilingual education is when to draw on students’ entire multilingual repertoires to enhance learning and promote equity (Cummins 2017; Kramsch 2009). Classroom research on the learning of L2 English supports multilingual/translanguaging practices (Lee & Macaro 2013; Zhang 2018), but much of this research involves students who had acquired the same L1 prior to having clas

Frihamnen i Stockholm står inför en omfattande omvandling. Området, som under lång tid har fungerat som en central plats för hamn- och industriverksamhet, planeras att utvecklas till en ny stadsdel med bostäder, kontor och service. I denna process riskerar flera befintliga industribyggnader att rivas för att ge plats åt ny bebyggelse. Samtidigt innebär detta att viktiga delar av platsens historia,

Climate change is recognized as one of the greatest environmental threats facing the world today. To tackle this problem, a protocol was adopted in Kyoto in 1997 which establishes legally binding commitments to developed countries to bring down the emissions of six major greenhouse gases by 5.2% compared to the year 1990. Three flexibility mechanisms have been provided to developed countries to ac

The main aim of this study was to apply and compare two GIS-based data mining models, namely support vector machine (SVM) by four kernel functions (linear-SVM, polynomial-SVM, radial basic function-SVM, and sigmoidal-SVM) and entropy models in landslide susceptibility mapping, in Shangzhou District, China. Initially, 145 landslide locations were mapped using early reports, aerial photographs, and

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this research is to examine and understand the reasons behind the existing gap between consumers’ attitudes and behaviors

With rapid urbanisation, local governments are increasingly put under pressure to manage urban space in a way that benefits all citizens. Urban space often become contested and economic, political, social, and environmental interests shape how these spaces are used and managed. In the context of Cape Town, two mayor interests that determine spatial development are urban greening and affordable hou

While violent conflicts are perceived to be the primary driver of food insecurity globally, the degree to which people are affected by both violent conflicts and food crises vary greatly, mainly depending on gender, age and socio-economical position. With this as a background, the aim of this thesis is to investigate how FAO and the WFP address gender dimensions of food insecurity in their humanit

The legacy of colonialism has been, and continues to, evoke debates and discussions in the postcolonial society. These discussions cover aspects of colonialism ranging from the historic colonial deeds to its lingering impact. Therefore, they tend to be distinguished by the complexity and diversity that characterizes the subject of colonialism. Actions taken to abolish the colonial rule and its imp

”I believe that our traditional gender roles do matter”. An interview study with social workers and police officers about the meeting with boys where suspicion of sexual abuse is found. Lately, media and several famous people have claimed attention to the issue of sexually assaulted boys. It has been argued that these boys are being failed by society. The purpose of this study was to explore how

Sedan miljöbalken (1998:808) trädde i kraft 1999 har miljöorganisationer haft en lagstadgad klagorätt i svensk rätt. Det är unikt att enskilda kan företräda allmänhetens intressen så som miljöskyddsintressen, en uppgift som vanligtvis sköts av staten, kommunen eller andra myndigheter. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur miljöorganisationers klagorätt i Sverige har förändrats sedan miljöbalken inSince the Swedish Environmental Code (1998:808) entered in to force in 1999, environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs) have had a statutory right of appeal in environmental matters. It is unique that individuals and their organizations can represent public interests such as environmental protectionary interests, a task usually handled by the state, municipality, or other authorities.
