In this article, we explore the importance of feedback on students’ literature essays and challenges in encouraging active and transformational engagement with such feedback. In addition to standard practice of student-centred peer review coupled with feedback from teachers, our model consists of a scaffolded pair of reflection tasks that students are required to complete. Based on a study of 245 This article explores ways of encouraging student engagement with feedback on literature essays. In addition to standard practice of student-centred peer review coupled with feedback from teachers, we have developed a scaffolded pair of reflection tasks on an introductory-level English literature course. With a focus on our two-step model for student self-reflection, this article highlights some c

Conway 61Department of Psychology, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, 2Gemzoe Consult, Aarhus, 3Public Health, UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN, 4National Research Main Abstract Content: Purpose To investigate the association between conflict frequency and bullying at T1 and T2, moderation of individual conflict management styles and mediation of negative acts. Methodology Data from the Workplace Bullying and Harassment cohort (2006-2008) were analysed cross-sectionally (n=3363) and longitudinally (n=1664). Measures: conflict frequency; three individual co

The removal of lysozyme adsorbed to a hydrophobic surface by a non-ionic surfactant, C12E5, was investigated using in situ ellipsometry. Both the adsorption and removal of protein were studied at different protein and surfactant concentrations. The surfaces used were methylated silica surfaces and the experiments were carried out at pH 5.6 in 0.01 M NaCl solution.

OBJECTIVES: Health utilities derived from answers to generic health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaires such as the EuroQol 5-Dimensions (EQ-5D) are often used in cost-utility analyses (CUAs) of new and expensive treatments. Different preference sets (tariffs) used in the computation of utility values and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) from questionnaire responses (health states) y

BACKGROUND: The discovery of low-frequency coding variants affecting the risk of coronary artery disease has facilitated the identification of therapeutic targets. METHODS: Through DNA genotyping, we tested 54,003 coding-sequence variants covering 13,715 human genes in up to 72,868 patients with coronary artery disease and 120,770 controls who did not have coronary artery disease. Through DNA sequ

Background: Depression is linked with alexithymia, anxiety, high HbA1c concentrations, disturbances of cortisol secretion, increased prevalence of diabetes complications and all-cause mortality. The psycho-educational method 'affect school with script analysis' and the mind-body therapy 'basic body awareness treatment' will be trialled in patients with diabetes, high HbA1c concentrations and psych

På grund av svåra metodologiska och praktiska svårigheter domineras forskning om bolagsstyrning i allmänhet och styrelseeffektivitet i synnerhet av relativt ytliga modeller. Så kallade black boxstudier är mycket vanliga, och kontrasteras mest av rent konceptuella modeller utan kvantitativa amibitioner. Den här uppsatsen kikar in i den svarta lådan och utforskar den interpersonella kontexten i styrDue to severe methodological and practical difficulties, research on corporate governance in general and board performance in particular is dominated by relatively shallow models. So called black box studies are very common, and are contrasted mainly by conceptual models without any quantitative ambitions. This paper peeks into the black box, exploring the interpersonal context within the board ro

Denna uppsats syftar till att fastställa hur införandet av Enhetliga Patent och den Europeiska- och EU-patentdomstolen kommer att påverka läkemedelsindustrins val av patentansökningsförfarande när de ansöker om patent i Europa i framtiden. För att fastställa de förväntade effekterna av Enhetliga Patent på branschen har intervjuer med ett urval personer inom forskning- och utvecklingsföretag och enThis thesis aims to establish how the introduction of the Unitary Patent and the European and European Union Patent Court will affect the pharmaceutical industry’s choice of patent application route when applying for patents in Europe in the future. To establish the expected effect of the Unitary Patent on the industry interviews with a selection of professionals in the research and development in

Building interaction prototypes for ubiquitous computing is inherently difficult, since it involves a number of different devices and systems. Prototyping is an important step in developing and evaluating interaction concepts. The ideal prototyping methodology should offer high fidelity at a relatively low cost. This thesis describes the development of interaction concepts for controlling consume

With the forces of globalization, previously safe home markets open up to foreign competition. This urges companies to expand internationally to keep growing. Current literature on how a company should enter a foreign market, namely the choice of entry mode, is based on findings for manufacturing firms and studies on service firms are scarce. In recent years, the service sector has grown steadily

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the in-store customer experience from a millennial consumers’ perspective. Specifically, the authors of this thesis intend to carry-out a comprehensive study that addresses how these customer experiences are manifested within the different retail stores in Sweden. Methodology: The researchers considered the philosophies of epistemology and ontology

Following the adoption of the "double carbon" policy in China, the concept of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) has gained considerable attention within the Chinese market, significantly impacting investor decision-making. This thesis examines the impacts of ESG principles on the overall financial performance of investment portfolios. Through the classification of Chinese A-lis

In this study, the quantitative relationship between the three dimensions of transformative capacity – cognitive, structural and agency – and the climate change performance of countries is examined. To do this, indexes are created and panel data regressions conducted. The result indicates a significant negative relationship between the cognitive and diversity dimension index and climate change per

Abstract Uppsatsen Fienden Inifrån granskar medierapporteringen kring Anders Breivik – gärningsmannen bakom terrordåden i Oslo den 22 juli 2011 med syftet att nå djupare insikt i hur media konstruerar fienden när denne kommer inifrån det egna samhället, samt vilka konsekvenser denna konstruktion får. Genom att undersöka 16 artiklar publicerade i Dagens Nyheter analyseras mediekonstruktionen av fi

Sammanfattning Titel: Det ska vara ”a” att åka kollektivt - en studie av servicens betydelse för organisationer som befinner sig på en marknad utan direkta konkurrenter Vad: Kandidatuppsats (SMTX06), Campus Helsingborg, Lunds Universitet, VT-2009 Författare: Anna Bergner, Carolina von Rosen, Vanja Sredojevic Handledare: Erika Andersson Cederholm & Johan Hultman Nyckelord: Service, värdeskapand

A search for a hypothetical heavy scalar particle, X, decaying into a singlet scalar particle, S, and a Standard Model Higgs boson, H, using 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at the centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented. The explored mass range is 300 ≤ mX ≤ 1000 GeV and 170 ≤ mS ≤ 500 GeV. The signature of this search is one or two leptons
