Trots detta verkar det finnas en diskrepans mellan de etiska principer vi säger oss stå bakom och vårt faktiska agerande, ett fenomen kallat dubbelmoral.

Att studera som dyslektiker - en pedagogisk studie om hur studenter med dyslexi upplever bemötande inom högre utbildning

Eftersom vi idag lever i ett kunskapssamhälle är det viktigt med utbildning för att medborgarna ska kunna bidra till samhällsutvecklingen. Eriksson Gustavsson (2011) talar inom dyslexiforskning om att studenter med dyslexi i högre utbildning blir dåligt bemötta på grund av sin diagnos. Av den anledningen vill vi utifrån ett pedagogiskt perspektiv ge- nomföra en undersökning om dyslektikers studies

Syns det inte, finns det inte

Trots att sexköpslagen och olika hjälpinsatser har bidragit till en minskning av sex mot ersättning på gatan, uppmärksammade #metoo-rörelsen problematiken kring den dolda varianten av sex mot ersättning som främst har sin grund på internet. Detta öppnade upp en värld som få hade insikt i, som det fanns lite information om och som det bedrivits lite forskning kring. Genom att intervjua personer som

On the statistics and practical application of the reassignment method for Gabor spectrograms

The reassignment method is a technique for improving the concentration of signals in spectrograms and other time-frequency representations (TFR). It achieves this by displacing the points in a TFR according to the reassignment vector for every point. By doing so, the reassignment method gives perfect concentration of infinite constant frequency sinusoids, impulses and linear chirps. A downside to

Air Quality Effects of Urban Forms in China

The Chinese urban population face serious health issues due to the increasing concentration of air pollutants. Research has shown that air quality was influenced by urban forms, and that special combinations of city characteristics could contribute to sustainable urban development.

The Moderating Effect of Absorptive Capacity upon Related and Unrelated Variety vis-a-vis Regional Growth - The Case of Swedish Regions

Empirical evidence for the growth effects of the concepts of related- and unrelated variety have been inconclusive since the introduction in 2007. This thesis contributes to the field by suggesting how the concepts of related- and unrelated variety may be moderated by the absorptive capacity found in a region. Absorptive capacity is suggested to work as a diffusion mechanism in relation to related

Transparent Maskulinitet

Maximum likelihood estimation of a monotone probability mass function with unknown labels

In this paper we discuss methods to estimate a monotone frequency of species in a population when the ordering of species is unknown. The question arises from [5], where the case of known order was taken into account, and the method is inspired by [2]. We discuss first a regression approach that however only leads to the trivial solution, and then a likelihood approach that allows some generali- s
