This Bachelor’s thesis attempts to provide a better understanding of how US government-funded development agencies justify their funding, how that process is conducted, and in what ways it relates to the actual practice of development. Namely, the study looks at the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and the United States Agency for International Development. Specifically, it looks at how these

Denna uppsats syftar till att skapa förståelse för hur ChatGPT kan användas inom utbildningssektorn för att främja inlärning och kritiskt tänkande bland universitetsstudenter. Studien är baserad på akademisk litteratur som rör inlärning, AI inom utbildning samt kritiskt tänkande. Den empiriska datainsamlingen består av en kvalitativ metod i form av fyra intervjuer varav respondenterna studerar på

Den svenska straffprocessrätten präglas av principen om fri bevisprövning, en allmän rättsprincip som innefattar såväl fri bevisföring som fri bevisvärdering. Principen om fri bevisföring innebär att all bevisning, oavsett hur beviset framkommit, får användas mot en brottsmisstänkt i en rättegång. Detta innebär att även bevis som åtkommits på lagstridig väg får användas i den nämnda situationen. The Swedish criminal procedure law is characterized by the principle of free examination of evidence, a general legal principle that includes both free presentation of evidence and free evaluation of evidence. By the principle of free presentation of evidence follows that all evidence, regardless of how the evidence came to light, may be used against a suspect in a criminal trial. This means that

The aim of this interdisciplinary study is to consider how teachers of English as a second language (ESL) might engage with critical pedagogy through the use of literature. This is illustrated by, on the one hand, applying a Black feminist lens to Octavia E. Butler’s 1979 science fiction novel Kindred, which is argued to constitute an appropriate novel for upper secondary students to read. On the

Synucleinopathies, characterized by intracellular aggregation of α-synuclein protein, share a number of features in pathology and disease progression. However, the vulnerable cell population differs significantly between the disorders, despite being caused by the same protein. While the vulnerability of dopamine cells in the substantia nigra to α-synuclein over-expression, and its link to Parkinso

Background: Integration of second-generation (2G) bioethanol production with existing first-generation (1G) production may facilitate commercial production of ethanol from cellulosic material. Since 2G hydrolysates have a low sugar concentration and 1G streams often have to be diluted prior to fermentation, mixing of streams is beneficial. Improved ethanol concentrations in the 2G production proce

In the field of second language acquisition (SLA) it is an important question, which role the native language assumes in the acquisition of another language. Studies have shown that there exists a native language influence on a phonological and lexical level. The situation in syntax is however different. Here a native language influence (transfer) is not self-evident.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utifrån vetenskapliga artiklar skapa ett preliminärt teoretiskt ramverk som ska hjälpa oss att analysera vår insamlade empiri. Genom empiriinsamling blir även syftet att undersöka vilka bolag på OMX Stockholmsbörsen som avviker från Koden, om bolagen avviker från samma punkter samt om det finns några gemensamma faktorer som kännetecknar bolagen som avviker. Vi använder

Myelin-sensitive quantitative (q) MRI techniques including MT (3D FLASH) and DTI (single-shot STEAM) are of growing importance to study white matter (WM) disorders in childhood. Cerebral folate transport deficiency is an inherited, treatable WM disorder with hypomyelination, developmental regression, movement disturbances, and epilepsy. One patient with this diagnosis and severe phenotype was trea

This article is contributing to the future of copyright law debate by exploring the recently harmonised originality standard in the EU copyright law and its suitability to a creative sharing community of Wikipedia. It shows that the “free creative choices” and “author’s personal” touch criteria established by the CJEU might be unsuitable not only because of practical concerns, but also because the

Inflammation has been proposed to play a role in the generation of depressive symptoms. Previously, we demonstrated that patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) have increased plasma levels of the soluble form of the urokinase receptor (suPAR), a marker for low-grade inflammation. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that acute exercise would induce inflammatory response characte

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a novel architectural model for cloud network infrastructure, improving resource utilization, scalability and administration. SDN deployments increasingly rely on virtual switches executing on commodity operating systems with large code bases, which are prime targets for adversaries attacking the network infrastructure. We describe and implement TruSDN , a fram

A fully integrated instrument for cereal grain quality assessment is presented. Color video images of grains fed onto a belt are digitized. These images are then segmented into kernel entities, which are subject to the analysis. The number of degrees of freedom for each such object is decreased to a suitable level for Artificial Neural Network (ANN) processing. Feed- forward ANN's with one hidden

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the thermal performance of the cooling plates with conventional straight channel and wavy channel designs. Design/methodology/approach: A three-dimensional model involving coupled fluid flow and heat transfer processes is developed to study the thermal performance of the cooling plates. The effects of wavelength and amplitude on the cooling perf
