Undergraduate introductory STEM courses often rely on few, high-stakes exams to assess student learning. This assessment strategy engenders high test anxiety and negatively impacts academic performance. We know little about how students want to be assessed—particularly those who experience high test anxiety. Applying a humanist learning framework, we asked students at a university in Norway to env
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global issue requiring a thorough understanding of risk factors to inform prevention strategies. This study applies Kraemer et al.‘s (2005) categorization system to classify risk factors for IPV perpetration, addressing two research questions: 1) What variables or attributes are commonly employed to assess the risks associated with IPV perpetration, and how can
The emergence of the modern urban water infrastructure, albeit facilitated the waste- and stormwater management, it left some negative imprints on Iran's urban and natural environment. Among which changing the hydrology of urban watershed has great importance. Moreover, lack of resilience of the current stormwater management infrastructure is increasing the risks of urban flooding and pollution of
Nanosecond pulsed discharges (NPD) have been extensively used in plasma-assisted combustion to stimulate combustion kinetics. Experimental measurement of the energy transfer processes in non-equilibrium plasma-assisted processes is extremely difficult, as the non-equilibrium plasma discharge involves numerous different species with transient and complex three-dimensional structures across various
Understanding the flame dynamics in a nanosecond pulsed discharge (NPD) is imperative for the novel technology of plasma-assisted combustion. We conducted a systematic study on the dynamics of atmospheric NPD-assisted flames in single-pulse mode using Rayleigh scattering combined with structured illumination. The study is divided into two parts. Part I detailed the measurements and CH4/air flame r
Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is a widely used non-invasive method for characterizing NOx emission, mostly in combustion applications, but also in many plasma facilities. Under the carbon-free prerequisite, non-thermal plasma-assisted combustion (PAC) is a promising technology to address the low flammability issues of ammonia (NH3) flames, but nitric oxide (NO) emission remains unknown. NO quan
Background: Emerging evidence suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) can increase cancer detection in mammography screening while reducing screen-reading workload, but further understanding of the clinical impact is needed. Methods: In this randomised, controlled, parallel-group, non-inferiority, single-blinded, screening-accuracy study, done within the Swedish national screening programme, wo
This research aims to provide insights for both academia and marketing practitioners regarding traditional companies and the implementation of brand activism within marketing communication. Firstly, by exploring consumer perception in the context of Gillette’s commercial “We Believe”, and secondly by investigating the influence of said perceptions on the brand’s reputational capital. Furthermore,
Purpose We aim to investigate how professionals make sense of the culture in the context of PSFs and how they engage in organizational and professional identification. Methodology The researchers look into the sensemaking processes professionals attach to organizational culture from a symbolic interactionism tradition, while from a critical perspective challenging the mainstream assumptions about
Detta är kvalitativ studie som syftar att beskriva livsföringen i ett traditionellt bondesamhälle på brasilianska landsbygden och samtidigt visa om och i sådana fall hur modernitens framväxt påverkar vardagslivet, med stöd av Anthony Giddens modernitetsteori. Studien visar även inom vilka aspekter som moderniteten är frånvarande. Forskningen baseras på etnografiska observationer och semistrukturer
Studiens syfte är att undersöka om de emitterande bolagens efterföljande avkastning har ett samband med det tillförda kapitalets angivna och faktiska användning på den svenska aktiemarknaden. Den långsiktiga eventstudien har genomförts med en kvantitativ metod och ett deduktivt tillvägagångssätt. Buy-and-Hold Abnormal Return (BHAR) har vidare analyserats som beroende variabel i den multipla regres
Background: In recent years, Sweden, together with the rest of the world, has faced an increased demand of the primary healthcare (PHC), due to a growing and aging population. Innovation has been pointed out as a tool aiding PHC to meet new challenges. Included in the concept of innovation is organizational innovation and innovation facilitating culture. The prior being one type of innovation whil
Within Turkey, claims of an increasing number of forest fires ignited by the Turkish military to ‘strategically degrade the environment’ broke out after the Turkish-Kurdish peace process ended in 2015. These claims are built on little evidence, and fire occurrences are not well documented. Yet, the issue has gained attention through the news and social media in recent years (Nurcan Baysal 2018; St
In this thesis, a house price evolution equation of Denmark's municipalities is proposed and solved using both an iterative optimization algorithm, and a closed form solution using Vector Autoregression. The quality of the solutions is investigated, analyzed and compared. Focus is put on the accuracy of the generated price predictions and to what degree the model parameters follow expected fea
