Abstract:

Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att undersöka de förändringar som uppstår vid införandet av en ny kursplan i ämnet samhällskunskap för grundskolans senare år då vi anser att en ny läroplan innebär förändringar. Förändringarnas innehåll ska också sätta avtryck i själva undervisningen i ämnet och därför vill vi med denna undersökning finna dessa förändringar och diskutera förändringarnas innehåll utifrån teorier om ungdomars lärande. För att få svar på våra frågeställningar har vi valt att studera de förmågor som krävs av eleverna utifrån den tidigare och den nya kursplanen i samhällskunskap oc

Abstract:

The gains derived from human capital can be affected by life –changing decisions. In my thesis I explore three of these decisions: the decision to migrate abroad (Chapter 1), the decision to migrate inside your own country (Chapter 2) and the decision to become an entrepreneur (Chapter 3). The three decisions involve a great deal of uncertainty that individuals express through expectations. I study these decisions by analyzing subjective expectations of future college graduate students. In chapter one I use the survey and data collection of Delavande and Zafar and for the second and third chap

Abstract:

This study questions the implementation of social studies curriculum in Nova Scotia. Indigenous knowledge, and anti-racism educational principles form the basis of high school curricula created from the perspective of African Nova Scotian and Mi'kmaq histories. The courses, African Canadian Studies and Mi'kmaq Studies, were implemented in 2002. To understand the distance between the intended objectives and practical realities of the curriculum, three methods were used: narrative, critical discourse analysis, and teacher interviews. Narrative provided a springboard for the analyses that follows

Abstract:

Harmful algal blooms threaten waters across the globe. The blooms degrade water quality, are toxic to humans, and threaten the health and habitat of aquatic biota. The blooms thrive in water bodies with excessive quantities of nutrients and their presence is exacerbated by climate change-induced weather patterns. Agricultural runoff is responsible for a majority of the excess nutrients in Lake Champlain and Lake Erie, but there are simple land use practices agricultural producers can implement to significantly reduce the amount of runoff leaving their land. Despite the fact that there is sc

Dagensrevisionsberättelse är väldigt standardiserad och i samtliga delar finns detförslag till exakta formuleringar. Enligt tidigare forskning finns det enintressekonflikt mellan intressenterna och revisorerna. Denna konflikt handlarom att intressenterna vill utvidga informationsinnehållet irevisionsberättelsen vilket revisorerna är kritiska till eftersom detta skulleinnebära mer ansvar och mer att stå till svars för.

Abstract:

Today humankind is facing numerous sustainability challenges that require us to question CO2 intensive practices like those present in the transport and energy sector. To meet those challenges, many countries have adopted ambitious climate targets. Achieving such targets requires an understanding of the wider socio-technical context of transitions. The aim of this licentiate thesis is therefore to analyse such socio-technical transitions towards low-emission futures enabled by the electrification of passenger cars and high voltage grid development. A combination of different transitions theori

Abstract:

<p> This project describes the development of a software application geared towards connecting LGBTQ older adults with each other with an aim to reduce social isolation. Older adults tend to lose their connections with others throughout the aging process. LGBTQ older adults experience more challenges in creating and maintaining social relationships compared to their heterosexual peers. When social connections are lost, social isolation threatens the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of older adults. The software application was designed and revised using feedback from two exper
