Carbon nanotubes are of great interest in both scientific research and commercial applications thanks to the unique properties of the material. A new thesis at Karlstad University looks at how the atomic structure influences the different properties of the material.
- At the moment, there are too few measuring standards and no proper classification system for carbon nanotubes, says Mattias Flygare, recently qualified doctor of physics who just published his thesis.

Jessica Comte, what did you study at Karlstad Business School?
- The Bachelor’s programme in IT, Project Management and ERP Systems from 2018 to 2020, and the Master’s programme in Information Systems from 2020 to 2022.
Why did a Master’s programme at Karlstad Business School appeal to you?
- I already had a career when I was looking for programmes, and I needed my studies to be 100% remote.

The EU H2020 funded project MONROE (Measuring Mobile Broadband Networks in Europe) builds and operates an open, European-scale platform with multi-homing capabilities to run experiments on operational Mobile Broadband (MBB) networks.
The project has now accepted 15 new external project proposals for funding.
The MONROE project aims to measure and understand the quality of MBB networks as experienced by the end-user.

Syftet med denna panel är att ur ett tvärvetenskapligt perspektiv utforska skönlitteratur som källa till kunskap om queera liv. Skönlitteraturen har haft en stor betydelse både för queer aktivism och forskning. Den har stått i centrum för queer och trans teoriutveckling i Sverige (t.ex. Björklund & Lönngren 2020, Holmqvist 2017, Kivilaakso, Lönngren och Paqvalén 2012, Rosenberg 2002).

Alexandre Sukhov, new docent in business administration at Karlstad Business School, is one of the authors behind the study.
Quiet quitting means that employees stop engaging more than necessary – they do their job, but nothing beyond that.

Four computer science students at Karlstad University have been recognized for their exceptional project work in the Software Engineering course. The project team, comprising Jonatan Altebro, Viktor Hajto, Martin Ramnér and Elmar Gebre Yekuno, earned high praise from faculty for their professionalism and innovation.
The team developed GoldenYears, an Android application designed to support elderly users in maintaining their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
When research is to be evaluated, quantitative methods have historically been important. Primarily, great importance has been placed on bibliometric methods, that is, measuring publication volumes and the number of citations for the publications. In recent years, however, such methods have been debated, which has led to an ongoing reform of the evaluation system that includes an upgrade of peer review as a method for analysis, and a more cautious use of quantitative methods.
How can you follow up in and assure that the students are taught what is given in the learning outcome? How can one ensure quality abilities in the learning outcome?
