23 heintz_farnqvist LTHs 7:e Pedagogiska Inspirationskonferens, 30 augusti 2012 Abstract—We claim that competitive elements can improve the quality of programming and algorithms courses. To test this, we used our experience from organising national and international programming competitions to design and evaluate two different contests in an introductory algorithms course. The first contest turned

There are several aspects of rune stones that can be discussed and analysed. With the help of digital tools, it is possible to look at social dimensions of archaeological objects in ways that were previously difficult to explore. In this thesis, the aim is to analyse rune stones from a spatial perspective by looking at their possible role in the landscape, what type of context they are found in an

Fotosyntes från rymden Data från satelliter är en viktig källa för information om Jorden för forskare. Det finns många olika satelliter och sensorer som används för detta ändamål. Denna studie har analyserat data från två satelliter (MSG/SEVIRI och MODIS) med olika upplösning i tid och rum samt olika omloppstider för att undersöka skillnader mellan dem. Sahelregionen i Afrika ligger mellan SaharaThe aim of this study was to use data from Meteosat Second Generation’s Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (MSG/SEVIRI) to calculate the gross primary production (GPP) in the Sahel region of Africa for 2011 and 2012. GPP was calculated using the light use efficiency method, which relates GPP to the absorbed photosynthetically active radiation the light use efficiency. The results were c

Even though a large part of the world's coastline consists of rocky shores, it is still a neglected field of study in coastal research. To increase the knowledge of wave transformation processes on these shores is important in order to understand erosional patterns and to manage coastal risks. In this study, the wave transformation processes on and off a rock platform in Victoria, Australia, h

I have conducted a survey about the number of horse farms in Lomma municipality, how they take care of their manure, their waste and what type of waste they generate. The survey aims to identify horse farms in the municipality and how they handle their manure and waste. According to the questionaires the most common place of storage for the manure is on a concrete base, which prevents nutrient lea

An exploration of alternative approaches to addressing gender-based violence/harms (GBV/H) as a phenomenon in Ireland and the UK, often articulated as a formation of ‘rape culture’ in its normalisation of these forms of harm and power dynamics, manifesting in social, political and legal spheres. In an attempt to tackle the root causes of GBV/H, this research examines the specific harms through a

Just nu pågår en omfattande global energiomställning mot en ökad andel förnybar energi för att minska koldioxidutsläppen och motverka de negativa klimatförändringarna. I denna energiomställning har grön vätgas pekats ut som en viktig pusselbit på grund dess potential till att minska koldioxidutsläppen enormt genom att användas i stora mängder inom bland annat stålindustri, jordbruk och transportseThis master's thesis explores the potential of integrating floating wind power into Power-to-X (P2X) megaprojects, with a focus on maximizing the output of chemical energy carriers through optimal energy mix strategies. The study evaluates the economic viability and technological efficiency of combining floating wind turbines with photovoltaic panels and battery energy storage systems (BESS) i

Access to reliable electricity is essential for delivering safe and effective healthcare. However, many rural healthcare facilities in Mozambique operate without power or experience frequent and prolonged outages. This thesis investigates the potential of repurposed end-of-life (EoL) lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) as an energy storage solution in such contexts. Based on fieldwork in local settings

The NMDA receptors are natural glutamate binders that play critical roles in the function of the central nervous system, with their dysfunction implicated in serious psychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative conditions. Understanding their roles in the brain and developing treatments will benefit from the existence of small molecules specifically targeting different NMDA receptor subtypes. This

The needs and wishes of older people have often been forgotten in urban planning in recent decades. Yet already today, more than one billion of the world‘s population is over 60 years old, and according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), one in six people will be over 60 by 2030 - an increase to 1.4 billion by 2030 and up to 2.1 billion by 2050 (WHO, 2024). Like many European countries, Switz

This thesis examines the preservation of social media user activity as digitala folkminnen (digital folk memories), using as a case the two Swedish platforms of LunarStorm and Bilddagboken (Dayviews), which were integral to the daily lives of young people in Sweden in the early 2000s. As these platforms face closure or data loss, there is a risk of losing users’ contributions forever. While govern

The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of how Skanör-Falsterbo’s urban medieval landscape can show what importance they held as market towns and what is left of it in the landscape today. This has been done using a phenomenological theory together with social structuralism and spatial theory. I have conducted this study using antiquities, historical maps and written sources, tog

The basement membrane (BM) is a specialized layer of extracellular matrix components that plays a central role in maintaining lung and kidney functions. Although the composition of the BM is usually tissue specific, the lung and the kidney preferentially use similar BM components. Unsurprisingly, diseases with BM defects often have severe pulmonary or renal manifestations, sometimes both. Excessiv

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) caused by textile dyes is not uncommon. The main dye allergens belong to disperse dyes which are used for coloring synthetic textile fibers. The European baseline series is not suitable for the reliable detection of textile dye allergy although p-phenylenediamine has been considered as a marker for contact allergy to disperse azo dyes. In order to diagnose ACD fro
