Environmental Education [EE] was created in the pursuit of providing specific targets to promote environmental, knowledge, attitudes, skills, participation and creating the societal shift. India was perhaps one of the first nations to have internalized EE in primary school curriculums, however, its application is still far from flawless. Teachers have often been observed as they take a central rol

In this paper, the connection between the Matérn kernel and scale mixtures of squared exponential kernels is explored. It is shown that the Matérn kernel can be approximated by a finite scale mixture of squared exponential kernels through a quadrature approximation which in turn allows for (i) state space approximations of the Matérn kernel for arbitrary smoothness parameters using established sta

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore in what way gradually increasing teachers’ theory-based instruction affects the students’ learning outcomes, illustrated by the example of learning how to regulate body tension in the upper secondary school. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 72 students from four classes participated in the study. The way the students were offered to understa

The relation between worship and gender is a hot topic in the Catholic Church. In recent decades, the debate has mostly been about breaking with patriarchal and male dominated liturgical forms and traditions. Yet, in Catholic traditionalist Catholic liturgy, due to the reform after the Second Vatican council, is considered to have lost much of its former masculine character. In my article, I addre

Disinformation re-emerged in the 21st century as a public concern and professional challenge for actors seeking to navigate the new political and information landscape. This has led to a growing discussion among researchers on how disinformation relates to PD theory and practice. This chapter argues that disinformation comes with a set of opportunities for PD that open new perspectives to unresolv

The overall aim of this article is to contribute to a research-based understanding of the increasing invisibility of web search engines in society and to discussions about the potential impact of this invisibility. It examines how search engine use and online search activities are represented in national and regional reports on internet habits and experience published by public foundations and pol

Kort historik om den på 1700-talet verksamma Gotlands nation vid Lunds universitet samt uppgifter om några av dess medlemmars senare öden.

The future of AIS conferences, thrown into sharp relief by virtual innovations during the pandemic and the subsequent return to face-to-face conferences, is debated in this special issue. This editorial introduces the seven papers contained in the special issue and provides the context for the debate on the future of conferences in the AIS Community as well as pinpointing key contributions made by

Arbetsplatsen har blivit en plats där vi, som arbetstagare, eventuellt ska hitta/känna lyckan. En vanlig fråga till barn är "vem vill du bli när du blir stor?" Eller "vad vill du göra?" Man förväntas jobba med någonting givande, intressant, spännande. Man ska kunna hitta lycka, kanske till och med livets mening i sitt arbete. Vi förväntas kunna säga "jag älskar mitt jobb". Från tidig ålder vill viThis article deals with an uneasy atmosphere – dålig stämning in Swedish – in workplaces in Sweden. In today’s neo-liberal society, we spend long days at work and much of the ‘happiness’ in life lies for the individual in being able to say that one’s work is good. At the same time, it can be difficult to handle different people/personalities among one’s collea

This study is part of a larger study of mathematics in physics teaching at upper secondary school. In this paper we focus on the use of mathematics in relation to the teaching of specific heat capacity of water. We report from two physics lessons with first-year students (lecture, problem solving, and labwork). One observation is the frequent technical use of mathematics during the lessons, which
