Går det att undvika passiva studenter som fokuserar på tentaläsning? Räcker det att låta studenterna arbeta med problemlösning, laborationer och projektarbeten, eller måste kanske undervisningen omorganiseras? Kan man få studenterna att själva ta ansvar för sin inlärning, att läsa mer i boken och att arbeta mer aktivt med materialet? På en av våra grundkurser i matematisk statistik i Lund har vi m

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bostäder och service svarar för hela 36 procent av Sveriges totala energianvändning, av detta står bostäder och lokaler för ungefär 86 procent. Den svenska riksdagen har antaget EU: s klimat-och energipolitiska mål som skall nås till 2020, som kallas "20-20-20"-målen. EU:s 20-20-20-mål innebär att vi ska minska klimat¬påverkan med 20 procent, uppnå 20 procent förnybar eUsing energy at low-quality levels opens up new possibilities for low-energy houses. Low-quality energy can be heat at a temperature that is close to that of its surrounding, and can be used, for example, to pre-heat ventilation air or domestic hot water. Pre-heating the incoming outdoor air reduces the need to heat ventilation and reduces the need for high-quality energy such as electricity or he

The metal beaker that was found in the house is a unique object. The shape arouses associations with late antique glasses. The beaker is covered with embossed gold bands with figure representations carried out in early Style I. The bands were probably produced around 500 AD. The body of the beaker might be contemporaneous or possibly also older, with the bands as a later addition. The beaker is co
