The purpose of this thesis is to create a greater understanding of the process of the commissionaires’ work with the report Malmö’s way to a sustainable future, which was finished and presented in March 2013. It is not the content of the report that is of interest for the writer, or in focus in this thesis, but how the commissionaires working with the report experienced the process: was it transpa
Differentiated instruction is a widely known approach used in different educational settings, especially in diverse classrooms. Teachers are expected to be able to meet the need of all learners and differentiate instructional parameters such as content, process and product accordingly. While previous research has shown that a successful implementation of the concept is beneficial for the students,
Can an educational programme develop tomorrow’s leaders? Can the mindset and skill set found in successful leaders be taught and learnt in educational programmes? This paper presents a leadership program, a cross disciplinary master programme atLund University, Sweden. The students study technology and management, however, the programme’s unique value proposition lies in its focus on leadership.Th
Purpose Previous research shows that the death of a parent places children at risk for a number of negative outcomes. The role of trust in health care at the end of life has been acknowledged as crucial for patients and adult family members. However, the consequences of children’s distrust in the care provided to their parents remain unknown. Therefore, we investigated the negative long-term outco
BackgroundLignin is a potential feedstock for microbial conversion into various chemicals. However, the microbial degradation rate of native or technical lignin is low, and chemical depolymerization is needed to obtain reasonable conversion rates. In the current study, nine bacterial strains belonging to the Pseudomonas and Rhodococcus genera were evaluated for their ability to grow on alkaline-tr
I dag arbetar cirka 22 procent av de arbetande kvinnorna i Sverige i vård och omsorgssektorn. Vård och omsorg är en kvinnodominerad sektor som karaktäriseras av höga sjuktal, hög personalomsättning och rekryteringsproblem. Sveriges befolkning blir allt äldre samtidigt som vården av svårt sjuka patienter i allt högre grad flyttas ut från sjukhusen till hemmet. Detta utgör stora utmaningar för hemtj
1. Motivation, specific objectiveTo evaluate the first prototype of a home lighting system, we used a full-scale model of a studio apartment in the laboratory of the School of Architecture at Lund University. The personalised home lighting system is based on LEDs, wearable sensors and a mobile phone app to produce lighting tailored to the individual’s needs. Drawing on participant interviews (n =
Binding of 125I-insulin-like growth factor-1 (125I-IGF-1) to rat brain slices was studied after 15 min of two-vessel occlusion ischemia and 1 h to 4 days of recirculation. Ligand binding in the hippocampus increased at 6 h post ischemia in the CA1 and CA3 regions and the dentate gyrus, suggesting that the IGF-1 receptors were up-regulated, while no change was seen in neocortex and striatum.
