Popular Abstract in Swedish I rektorers uppdrag ingår ansvar för den pedagogiska verksamheten förändras och utvecklas. Den fråga som ställs i avhandlingen gäller om det finns en gemensam norm för hur rektorer tänker och handlar när det gäller den utvecklingsinriktade delen av ledaruppdraget. Om så är fallet hur ser den ut och kan den utvecklas? Bakgrund Stora förändringar på ett internationellt This thesis puts a focus on school leadership and school development. The local authorities took over responsibility for public education in 1991. At the same time, steerage by rules was abandoned in favour of steerage by goal-setting and result evaluation. The principal is an important link in this chain of steerage. The question posed by the thesis concerns whether there are common norms for th

Yeast-derived zymosan beads are among the classical agents used to induce sterile inflammatory responses in experimental animals and macrophage activation in cell culture. In macrophages the cytosolic phospholipase A2 becomes activated, leading to mobilization of arachidonate and the generation of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Although zymosan can interact with several receptors it has not been

The laser-induced incandescence technique (LII) is a laser-based diagnostic technique for measurements of soot volume fraction and particle size. The technique relies on detection of incandescent light from soot particles heated to around 4000 K using nanosecond laser pulses. A theoretical model for LII has been implemented and improved in order to provide a tool for predicting the signal respons

Wastewater treatment plant operators encounter complex operational problems related to the activated sludge process and usually respond to these by applying their own intuition and by taking advantage of what they have learnt from past experiences of similar problems. However, previous process experiences are not easy to integrate in numerical control, and new tools must be developed to enable re-

Purpose: Ecopreneurs are individuals who engage in entrepreneurial activities, starting green-green ventures, and focusing on sustainability. Ecopreneurs are shown to be key drivers in our society’s transition toward sustainability. This research focuses on environmental sustainability and the reason these individuals engage in ecopreneurship. What is their motivation to start a green-green ventur

Four pincer-ligated iridium complexes, 1-4, featuring substituents with different electronic properties on meta and para positions on the aromatic backbone were synthesized for the purpose of comparing their efficiency as catalysts in the acceptorless dehydrogenation of 1-phenylethanol. Previous studies have already revealed that turnover frequencies were higher in more dilute catalyst solutions,

In 2020, Zenuity was split up and the new company, Zenseact became a subsidiary to the car manufacturer Volvo Cars, owning 86,5% of the company. In the end of 2022, Volvo Cars acquired the rest of the company and became fully owner of Zenseact. Being a knowledge heavy company with ambitious developers at the core of the organization, Zenseact develops driving assistance software powered by advance

This thesis seeks to investigate the structural circumstances regarding the poor refugee protection for Burmese refugees in Thailand. Acknowledging that existing laws are politically motivated, the first part of this thesis examines the political context that determines the structure of the legal framework. The second part of the thesis scrutinizes the juridical framework concerning refugees, name

The essay deals with how one can predict a state's behaviour through discourse analysis. It argues that while actors must have a real capacity for action, their re-spective discourse must also house a conceptualization of that capacity in order for an actor to be expected to make decisions to employ said action. Instruments of power must also be perceived as effective in order to be employed.

This study investigates the consequences that female descriptive representation, at the highest executive political position, had on violence against women in politics. More specifically it looks at Jeanine Áñez ́s presidency and its impact on violence against women in Bolivia. The research question guiding the research is What were the consequences of Jeanine Áñez ́s presidency for violence again

Denna uppsats undersöker hur EU:s konkurrenslagstiftning reglerar interoperabilitetsskyldigheter för dominerande digitala plattformar. Uppsatsen visar hur EU-domstolens avgörande i Android Auto (C-233/23) omformar teorin om nödvändiga nyttigheter (Essential Facilities Doctrine, EFD) som etablerades i Bronner-domen (C-7/97). Vidare analyseras denna framväxande doktrins samspel med de interoperabiliThis thesis explores how EU competition law governs interoperability obligations for dominant digital platforms. It shows how the CJEU’s judgment in Android Auto (C-233/23) redefines the Essential Facilities Doctrine (EFD) established in Bronner judgment (C-7/97) and how this emerging doctrine interacts with the interoperability obligations introduced by the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The Android

Climate change is a fact, new innovations and solutions need to be applied to mitigate the effects around the world. Greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels are the primary cause of climate change, one of them being carbon dioxide. There are many attempts to make a turn-around regarding the use of fossil fuels and one of them is wind power. However, due to extreme loads their service life is ju

This thesis investigates whether integrating technical market data with fundamental accounting variables improves the out-of-sample predictability of stock returns in the highly liquid S&P 100 universe. Using an expanding window approach from 2010 to 2024, the study compares the performance of regularized linear (Ridge Regression) and non-linear (Histogram Gradient Boosting) estimators against

The aim of this research is to study three particle correlations in pseudo-rapidity for the $\Lambda^0$,$\Xi^0$, and $\Omega^-$ hyperons with a focus on their baryon and strangeness quantum numbers. The two primary questions asked are, into which particles are these quantum numbers typically conserved, and what are their correlations in momentum space. The research investigates these problems by e

This thesis project explores the significance of public spaces in shaping society, culture, and individual identity, emphasizing their role in promoting democratic values and self-realization. Public spaces, such as squares and marketplaces, serve as platforms for social interaction, economic activity, and cultural continuity. The design of these spaces reflects societal values and historical cont

There is a need to closer characterise the molecular changes associated with progression from low to high mortality stage cutaneous T cell lymphoma. This has been challenging since there is high inter-patient heterogeneity in the genetics and transcriptomics of the malignant T cell populations. Modern technology has enabled single-cell resolution as well as spatially guided cell selection for whol

Böcker och läsning är ett centralt motiv i berättelsen om Jane Eyre (1847), vilket på många sätt bidrar till framställningen av karaktärisering, världsbygge och narrativets framfart. Det finns särskilt samband mellan framställningen av böcker och läsning och framställningen av makt och maktdynamiker i Jane Eyre. Tidigare forskning om böcker och läsepraktiker i Jane Eyre har fokuserat på den allusiBooks and reading are a central motif within the narrative of Jane Eyre (1847) by Charlotte Brontë and contributes in many ways to the depiction of characterisation, world-building, and the progression of the narrative. In particular, there are correlations between the depiction of books and reading and the depiction of power and power dynamics in Jane Eyre. Previous research into books and readin

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent psychiatric condition and poses a significant burden on public health. The underlying causes and mechanisms of depression remain poorly understood. There is a growing body of evidence linking microRNAs (miRNAs) to major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the causal relationship between miRNAs and MDD remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate t
