The workshop focuses on what data is needed to ensure the quality of your peer learning scheme and how to get it. You will work in groups with colleagues having similar peer learning schemes to your own (or a scheme you are planning for). The group work will center on questions like “Why evaluate your peer learning scheme?”, “Who might have interest in the evaluation data?”, and “What and how to e

A Peer Assisted Learning/Supplemental Instruction (SI) programme was introduced at Lund University in 1994 and has grown immensely since the start. Today we have more than 4000 students attending SI annually with ~230 SI-leaders working as facilitators during sessions. Evaluation data from the programme will be presented – both quantitative and qualitative. Qualitative data are primarily centered

Action research has another objective than dominating concepts in social science research – where the research aspects of the study are emphasized rather than creating change, and where objectivity, neutrality and avoidance of bias are important notions in the research process. The action research approach also means that the researchers will cooperate with various actors, such as social workers aAction research has another objective than dominating concepts in social science research – where the research aspects of the study are emphasized rather than creating change, and where objectivity, neutrality and avoidance of bias are important notions in the research process.

The dichotomous roles client/ social worker is often portayed as the client having problems, and the social worker knowing the solutions. Reciprocity is limited in traditional social work practice in Sweden. The organizational framing seldom offer good potentials for common ground, inclusion or co-production.Since 2005 the traditional roles in social work practice have been challenged in an experi

Every year, billions of seasonal migrants connect continents by transporting nutrients, energy, and pathogens between distant communities and ecosystems. For animals that power their movements by endogenous energy stores, the daily energy intake rates strongly influence the speed of migration. If access to food resources varies cyclically over the season, migrants sensitive to changes in daily ene

Decarbonizing the energy-intensive and natural resource-based industries is possible but may substantially increase the cost of production. Whether such cost increases will reduce economic welfare depends on how the downstream industries respond to the higher cost for intermediate goods. In this paper, we explore how downstream industries in the EU15 responded to upstream carbon technology shocks Decarbonizing the energy-intensive and natural resource-based industries is possible but may sub-stantially increase the cost of production.

The International Association of Fire Safety Science (IAFSS) is comprised of members from some 40 countries. This paper presents the Association's thinking, developed by the Management Committee, concerning pressing research needs for the coming 10 years presented as the IAFSS Agenda 2030 for a Fire Safe World. The research needs are couched in terms of two broad Societal Grand Challenges: (1) cli

This paper examines the rights of users of health, fitness and wellness e-services concerning the use, re-use and conservation of their health and health related data. In particular, it will analyse the scope and limits of the ‘right to be forgotten’ recently codified under Article 17 in the General Data Protection Regulation. It will address generally patience records and clinical trial data, and

Aims: To study the frequency, etiology, and premortal abnormalities in exercise-related sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the young in Sweden. Methods: All subjects with SCD in 10–35-year olds in Sweden during 2000–10, were included (n = 514). Information about each case was retrieved from death certifications, autopsy- and medical records. The number of SCD in athletes was compared to national figure

Background: Biomarker-based risk predictions of dementia in people with mild cognitive impairment are highly relevant for care planning and to select patients for treatment when disease-modifying drugs become available. We aimed to establish robust prediction models of disease progression in people at risk of dementia. Methods: In this modelling study, we included people with mild cognitive impair

Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (TFET), based on band-to-band tunneling, overcomes the thermal limit (subthreshold slope (S) > 60 mV/decade) of the MOSFETs by filtering the high-energy Fermi tail, thereby allowing a substantial reduction of supply voltage and power consumption. Despite the steep slope behavior, TFETs can suffer from ambipolarity wherein carriers tunnel into the channel at both high

Background: Hippocampal volume reduction is a well replicated finding in schizophrenia. Evidence indicates a contribution of genetic and environmental factors, especially the influence of obstetric complications to this volume reduction. The aim of this study was to compare hippocampal volume of schizophrenic patients as well as and their relatives with control subjects and to quantify the additio
