Från ena dagen till den andra kunde studenter inte längre träffa kurskamrater och lärare i en undervisningssal.

Abstract Background and Purpose: Members of the Millennial Generation are stereotypically described as job-hoppers, who tend to frequently change jobs after approximately 16 months of employment. This study aims to shed light on the retention management of Millennials in relation to the importance of 360-degree feedback. Focusing on the Millennial Generation, the following two research questions
I nuläget har vi levt med covid-19-pandemin och dess medföljande restriktioner, rekommendationer och budskap i över ett år. De konstant återupprepade budskapen kring ämnet har resulterat i att människor tröttnat på att följa restriktioner och uppmärksamma informationen, vilket WHO beskriver som pandemic fatigue.

Reflecting an emerging trend in democratic innovation to tackle complex socio-ecological challenges, the French Citizens’ Convention on Climate (CCC) was initiated in response to climate protests and the Yellow Vests movement to define measures for achieving a socially just 40% reduction in GHG-emissions. Approaching the CCC as both an outcome and site of hegemonic struggle, I apply social movemen
Den här uppsatsens syfte är att utreda hur migrationsdomstolarna i praktiken avgör huruvida asylsökande uppfyller kraven för att få uppehållstillstånd. Enligt svensk rätt ska varje person som känner välgrundad fruktan för förföljelse på grund av sin sexuella läggning få rätt till asyl.

In this thesis, the tilt locking scheme is applied to create an error signal that monitors length changes in a fibre-based microcavity. To find a robust and precise locking technique is an essential step towards quantum operations on single rare-earth ions doped in microcrystals. Quantum computing and information is a frontier of modern physics. Many scholars believe that Quantum technology will
This thesis exists within the debate of sustainable environmental management, examining the potential of rights of nature in overcoming problems caused by the current neoliberal conservation paradigm such as inequalities in power, lack in indigenous inclusion, as well as using contextually inappropriate approaches.
