  1. 1. Weaving relations: Exploring the epistemological interaction between indigenous & traditional ecological knowledge and Eurowestern paradigms in education for sustainable development - an umbrella review

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för didaktik och pedagogisk profession

    Author : Alexandra Silvestru; [2023-06-08]
    Keywords : Indigenous traditional ecological knowledge ITEK ; education for sustainable development ESD ; education for sustainability EfS ; sustainable development; western epistemology; ontology; epistemic justice; decolonization; transformative paradigm; umbrella review; systematic review;

    Abstract : Aim: This thesis aims to explore the epistemological challenges and opportunities of integrating Indigenous and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (ITEK) in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) within the context of Euro-Western paradigms. Theory: In considering epistemological interactions between ITEK in ESD, the theoretical framework for this study is a "weave" of the transformative paradigm as the warp; postcolonial, decolonial, and Indigenous research methodologies as the weft; and the transdisciplinary approach as the frame.

  3. 2. Spatial variation in GHG emissions from drained organic forest soils : implications for Swedish UNFCCC reporting

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Anna Oskar; [2021]
    Keywords : greenhouse gas; carbon dioxide; methane; nitrous oxide; peat; drainage; ditch; GHG inventory;

    Abstract : Drainage of organic soils for forestry generally increases soil CO2 and N2O emissions but decreases CH4 emissions. Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) countries provide annual national inventories of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals, which includes emissions of GHGs from drained organic forest soil.

  4. 3. Swedish or English : A Study of L1 and L2 Preference and  Speaking Proficiency among High-functioning Upper Secondary School Students within Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för språk, litteratur och interkultur

    Author : Tommy Jansson; [2017]
    Keywords : ASD; high-functioning; autism; EFL; language proficiency; upper secondary school; language preference; AST; högfungerande; autism; EFS; språkfärdighet; gymnasieskola; språkpreferens;

    Abstract : This study is both quantitative and qualitative in nature. In order to support or discard the hypothesis that high-functioning, autistic upper secondary school students speak more freely in English than in their native language Swedish, an experiment with a narrative format was conducted with students both within and without Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Resultate sind nicht zufriedenstellend aufgrund des Fokus der Wissensvermittlung im formalen Bildungssektor. Gründe hierfür sind der Einfluss wirtschaftlicher und politischer Interessen auf den formalen Sektor. READ MORE

  6. 5. Influence of Ion-Ion Interactions on Single Qubit State Transfer Fidelities

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Atomfysik

    Author : Sofia Borgå; [2015]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Experimental single qubit gate fidelities in the rare-earth quantum computing (REQC) scheme was found to be lower than predicted by simulation of the optical Bloch equations for the system. The cause was believed to be excitation-induced frequency shifts (EFS), so this BSc thesis investigates a model for EFS in Eu:YSO where stochastic frequency shifts are imposed on the ions. READ MORE
