The aim of this thesis is to critically examine how ethical principles are conceptualized and applied in educational contexts, focusing on the intersection of early childhood education and education for sustainable development. Its contribution to educational research in general, and to philosophy of education in particular, is to; first, discuss the presumed relation between ethical principles an

It is argued that the Achilles heel of contemporary sociology – and great parts of social science – is a) weak theory development, and b) absence of a meta-theory providing a common platform and a shared goal for its practitioners, fostering cumulativity. A meta-theory called causal realism (a variant of critical realism) is suggested for these purposes. The main tenets and key concepts of realism

The thin-plate spline (TPS) has been widely used in a number of areas such as image warping, shape analysis and scattered data interpolation. Introduced by Bookstein (IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell. 11(6):567–585 1989), it is a natural interpolating function in two dimensions, parameterized by a finite number of landmarks. However, even though the thin-plate spline has a very intuitive int

Abstract in UndeterminedThe Base of the Pyramid (BoP) consists of about two-fifths of the world population. This population can be categorized as poor with income of less than 2 dollars per day. It is important to alleviate poverty. One of the promising approaches to tackle the wicked problem of poverty is business development combined with poverty alleviation. In this approach, integrated solutio

This paper describes the research stimulated by a fundamental shift that is occurring in the manufacture and marketing of aero engines for commercial and defence purposes, away from the selling of products to the provision of services. This research was undertaken in an aerospace company, which designs and manufactures aero engines and also offers contracts, under which it remains responsible for

The described technical-economic model clarifies the influence of different production technological factors on the processing cost of a part. Influential factors can be weighted against each other, which leads to different production development scenarios and their effects on the processing cost can be studied. This implies a way to generate a basis of decision by which a company can base their p

The Wilms' tumour gene 1 (WT1) protein is highly expressed in most leukaemias. Co-expression of WT1 and the fusion protein AML1-ETO in mice rapidly induces acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Mechanisms behind expression of WT1, as well as consequences thereof, are still unclear. Here, we report that the fusion protein BCR/ABL1 increases expression of WT1 mRNA and protein via the phosphatidylinositol-3

Recent years has seen a growth of so-called ”Al-Qaeda franchises”, terrorist groups who formally ally with Al-Qaeda. This study investigates the phenomenon through how one such actor, the “Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat” (GSPC), has developed after its alliance with Al-Qaeda in 2006 and rebranding as ”Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb” (AQIM). By analyzing GSPC before and after the alliance

Nuvarande Jägersro trav- och galoppbana i sydöstra Malmö ska bytas ut mot bostäder. Skånska Travsällskapet planerar bygga nya Jägersro Hästcenter på sin privata mark precis bredvid. De önskar att hästcentret blir Europas ledande med fokus på hållbarhet. I juli 2024 planeras den första byggnaden invigas, den avsedd för publik, som antas tecknas till ett effektabonnemang. Det förutspås att lokal eThe current Jägersro horse racetrack in southeast Malmö will be replaced with apartments. Alongside this area Skånska Travsällskapet plans to build a new Jägersro Horse Center on their private land. They wish the center to be Europe's most prominent with a focus on sustainability. In July 2024, the first building is planned to be inaugurated, which is assumed to be subscribed for a power ratin

Three-part parenting is an approach that social services in Sweden should use in collaboration around a child placed in foster care. It describes how foster home, parents and social services share responsibilities for the welfare of the child. The purpose of this study was to illuminate the state of knowledge about the approach among social workers working with children and adolescents in Sweden.

Klimatförändringarna med stigande havsnivåer gör att förutsättningarna för vårt byggande måste förändras i kustnära områden. Länsstyrelsen i Skåne har fattat ett beslut om att mark under +3 meter över havet döms ut för bebyggelse. Kommunerna vid kusten får då mycket svårt att expandera, och vill därför kunna hitta eventuella lösningar för att kunna bygga i utsatta lägen. En möjlig lösning är att aWith the climate change sea levels are rising which changes the boundary conditions for sites along the coast. The County Administrative Board of Skåne has decided that new buildings should be built at least 3 meters above sea level. Because of this decision the coastal municipalities have problems with expanding further, and are really keen on finding alternative solutions in order to allow build

The Commission has put forth a proposal for a Regulation on a Common European Law of Sales (CESL). It is envisaged – as of now – as an optional second regime within each member state‘s law, electable for transnational consumer contracts and contracts among traders, as long as one of them is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The intention is to provide contractors with a level playground of one l

Results of useful exergy accounting at the societal (i.e. national or global) level are potentially important for policy purposes, such as the development of energy or GHG emission scenarios, and the determination of the major energy inefficiencies (and thus improvement potentials) within a country. However, useful exergy societal studies commonly differ in their accounting methodology, which affe
