Genrepedagogikens genomslag i en digitaliserad skola innebär att skrivundervisningens lärresurser i hög grad utgörs av olika typer av modelltexter. Läromedelsutredningen (SOU 2021:70) utförd på uppdrag av regeringen synliggör en spänning mellan den fysiska läroboken och alternativa undervisningsmaterial, men också att forskningen om hur lärresurser används i Sverige är begränsad. Syftet med denna Teaching and Learning Resources in Genre Pedagogy – The Role of Teaching and Learning Materials in the Development of Students’ Non-Fiction Writing Skills The impact of genre pedagogy in a digitalised school means that the resources for teaching writing are largely made up of different types of model texts. Läromedelsutredningen (SOU 2021:70) carried out on behalf of the government highlights a t

The issue of freedom of expression in the context of Turkey and the European Court of Human Rights (‘ECtHR’ or ‘the Court’) has been widely discussed from legal perspectives. Especially, with the changing political, legal and social dynamics in Turkey within 2003-2022, the case-law of the Court increased by a considerable amount. All the contingencies affecting the argumentative and interpretive a

The main goal of this project is to explore tools for consumers and designers when consuming or developing long lasting furniture and translating the results into a pro- duct. The short life span of today’s furniture is due to design and material choices hindering graceful aging. This contributes to fast furniture, discarded prematurely due to breaking or aesthetic downgrading. After a literature

Since the 1970s, neoliberal policies worldwide have been affecting the organization of care in welfare regimes and the working conditions of care workers. Although it takes different forms in different welfare regimes, studies show that it is a global phenomenon in which care workers endure poor working conditions such as low wages, heavy workload, and sexual harassment. Using the Social Reproduct

Tomträtter har varit ett omdiskuterat ämne sen avgälderna började sättas till ett mer marknadsmässigt pris. De ökande avgälderna gör att möjligheten att friköpa tomträtter blir intressant för de som har sin bostad på en tomträtt. I vissa kommuner utgör tomträtter en betydande andel av småhusfastighetsutbudet. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur tomträttsstatusen påverkar betalningsviljan för sThis study aims to examine the effect of leasehold status on the selling price for houses. The study focuses on houses sold in Stockholm and Gothenburg during 2018 and 2019. Municipalities in Sweden have since 1907 offered leased land as an alternative to owned land to facilitate for more people to build homes. The leasehold holders pay a yearly rent to the owner of the land. The payment contracts

Transposable elements make up over 50% of the human genome and serve beneficial transcriptional regulatory roles but can also exert deleterious effects when aberrantly expressed. Four de novo missense mutations in the master regulator of transposable elements – corepressor TRIM28 – were identified in four patients with intellectual disability suggesting that dysfunctional transposable element regu

Ocean acidification, warmer temperatures, and the expansion of hypoxic zones in coastal areas are direct consequences of the increase in anthropogenic activities. However, so far, the combined effects of these stressors on calcium carbonate-secreting marine microorganisms - foraminifera are complex and poorly understood. This study reports the foraminiferal survival behavior, and geochemical tr

Spectroscopy serves as a vital tool in both scientific research and industrial applications. In spectral analysis, baseline correction is important in order to be able to efficiently extract essential features. Several algorithms for baseline correction have been developed, including Asls (Asymmetric Least Squares algorithm), arPLS (Asymmetrically Reweighted Penalized Least Squares algorithm), air

Background The estrogen receptor alpha (ERa), encoded by ESR1, is overexpressed in 75 – 80 % of breast cancers. Treatments targeting ERa are challenged by development of resistance due to loss of ERa expression. It is crucial to increase understanding of regulatory mechanisms of ERa expression and identify alterations in these mechanisms. Modifications of miRNA target sites in ESR1 3’ UTR or meth
