Rose (Research on Subject-specific Education) is a multidisciplinary research environment with a special interest in subject-specific – learning and teaching in subjects. It includes how the content of teaching is selected and how different teaching methods affect and shape the subject content, from primary school to higher education. The focus is on what happens in the classroom, and on the interaction between teachers and students in the learning process.
What happens when manufacturing companies, who previously focused on products only, begin to focus on services? What challenges are they put up against and how can they face them? This is what Nina Löfbergs thesis is about.
Globalization and increased competition from low-cost countries has pushed many Swedish manufacturing companies firms to focus on services rather than only products.

Presenter: Rene Almeling, Yale University
Abstract: Medical researchers have been making headlines with a surprising series of findings about how the health status of men’s bodies prior to conception can directly affect the health of their children.
In a new five-year research program CSR will study how society can handle the impacts of a changing climate and remain resilient. Resilient here meaning an ability to retain steering and control and society's vital functions.

Jenny Wilson is an internationally known Swedish indie musician, artist, and not least, producer.

Mobile networks are constantly evolving to enable improved throughput and low latency for applications. However, it has been shown that current standard congestion control algorithms can cause long delays in mobile networks due to over-allocation of buffers. In his thesis, Habtegebreil Kassaye Haile has investigated the performance of two possible solutions to this problem.
The Internet is constantly evolving.

- Visual regimes of urban platformization: aesthetics, glitch, communication
Friday, 7 October, 14:00-15:30
Live on Campus or on Zoom (link will be sent out)
Abstract
In this talk, I engage with the visual regimes of urban platformization as an emergent and crystalizing logic in cities. Drawing on a range of empirical instances from North American cities, I situate and trace urban platform visualities in three registers: aesthetics, the glitch, and communication.
Karlstad University and Deutsche Telekom are collaborating on a project intended to improve the internet connection for users. The goal is for the technology to be incorporated into every mobile phone within five years.

Information for you as a student. The Career Portal is Karlstad University’s online platform, developed in collaboration with JobTeaser. It is designed to supports students and alumni in finding career opportunities, making valuable contacts and gathering practical experience while studying or after graduation.
We are now approaching the end of yet another semester and entering the summer period. It is a good time to slow down a little, perhaps even pause for a moment and reflect on both individual and collective achievements.
