The quality of this interaction will depend on the child's ability to interrelate continuously. The objectives of this research were to identify challenges and opportunities from the representations of mothers, teachers and children before the diagnosis of children with low vision. The method of the study was exploratory research from interviews with semi-structured script. Were interviewed six mothers of children with low vision between the ages of seven to twelve years old, six teachers that work with children with low vision and six children with low vision. The main topics of the interviews were the daily experiences of children and school life, especially reading books of children's literature. The results reveal that mothers showed the effort and dedication that children have to learn, certain fears for the issue of visually impaired children, interpreting their learning towards reality. Teachers talked about the opportunities that children have to be independent in their daily life and school experiences. The children described their routines and how they deal with their visual impairment, the low vision. It is concluded that mothers and teachers work continuously to the independence of children in daily life and everyday school experiences, especially in reading books. Children dedicate themselves to the learning process, enforcing to live well in society and at school, from low vision / Para que crianças com baixa visão consigam interagir com independência na vida cotidiana e escolar é importante usar seu resíduo visual com propriedade. A qualidade dessa interação vai depender da capacidade da criança de se interrelacionar continuamente. Os objetivos desta pesquisa foram identificar desafios e possibilidades a partir dos relatos das mães, professores e crianças perante o diagnóstico de baixa visão das crianças. O método do estudo foi a investigação de caráter exploratório a partir de entrevistas com roteiro semiestruturado. Foram entrevistadas 6 mães de crianças com baixa visão, 6 professores que trabalham com baixa visão, e seis crianças com baixa visão com idades entre 6 a 11 anos. Os tópicos principais das entrevistas foram as vivências cotidianas da criança e a vida escolar, em especial a leitura de livros de literatura infantil. Os resultados mostraram que as mães falaram sobre o esforço e dedicação dos filhos para aprender e de seus medos relacionados à deficiência visual de seus filhos. Os professores mencionaram as possibilidades que as crianças têm para serem independentes na vida cotidiana e escolar. As crianças descreveram suas rotinas e como lidam com a deficiência visual, a baixa visão. Conclui-se que as mães e professores trabalham continuamente para favorecer a independência das crianças na vida cotidiana e escolar, em especial na leitura de livros. As crianças se dedicam ao aprendizado, esforçando-se para se adaptarem à maneira de viver bem na sociedade e escola a partir da baixa visão

Rapid growing population, urbanization, climate change, decreasing agricultural production, and soil degradation causes massive challenges for food production and supply chain in Southeast Asia, especially in urban areas. A sustainable food production and supply chain system is needed to produce and supply food for Southeast Asia urban areas. One potential solution to those challenges is introducing vertical farming. Vertical farming can produce high-quality crops locally and sustainably by reducing water and land use, decreasing pesticide use, reducing carbon footprint, and growing plants in any climate. This research aims to identify the current status of vertical farming startups in Southeast Asia, investigate the existing challenges and available opportunities in the Southeast Asia vertical farming industry, and analyze the sustainability practices and sustainable business model innovation implemented by Southeast Asia vertical farming startups. A literature review of vertical farming business typology, business model innovation, and sustainable business model innovation is used to create theoretical frameworks in this research. This research is an exploratory multiple case studies research with a qualitative method. The data in this research is collected through interviews with founders and managers from 10 vertical farming startups in Southeast Asia. The interview data is analyzed using vertical farming business typology, business model framework, and sustainable business model innovation archetypes. The research outcomes indicate that the vertical farming industry in Southeast Asia is an early growing industry, and Southeast Asia vertical farming startups are considered as early growing startups with small capital and small teams. Despite existing financial, operational, and market challenges, Southeast Asia vertical farming startups have considerable opportunities to grow with their effort to develop their vertical farming business into a more sustainable business by conducting various sustainability practices and adopting sustainable business model innovation. / Snabbt växande befolkning, urbanisering, klimatförändringar, minskad jordbruksproduktion och markförstöring orsakar enorma utmaningar för livsmedelsproduktionen och försörjningskedjan i Sydostasien, särskilt i stadsområden. En hållbar livsmedelsproduktion och försörjningskedja behövs för att producera och leverera mat till Sydostasiens stadsområden. En potentiell lösning på dessa utmaningar är att införa vertikalt jordbruk. Vertikalt jordbruk kan producera högkvalitativa grödor lokalt och hållbart genom att minska vatten- och markanvändningen, minska användningen av bekämpningsmedel, minska koldioxidavtrycket och odla växter i alla klimat. Denna forskning syftar till att identifiera den nuvarande statusen för vertikala jordbruks-startups i Sydostasien, undersöka de befintliga utmaningarna och tillgängliga möjligheter i den vertikala jordbruksindustrin och analysera hållbarhetspraxis och hållbar affärsmodellsinnovation som implementerats av vertikala jordbruks-startups. En litteraturgenomgång av vertikal jordbruksverksamhetstypologi och hållbar affärsmodellsinnovation används för att skapa teoretiskt ramverk i denna studie. I detta examensarbete tillämpas en kvalitativ forskning med flera fallstudier. Data samlas in genom intervjuer med grundare och chefer från 10 vertikala jordbruks-startups i Sydostasien. Intervjudata analyseras med hjälp av typologi för vertikal jordbruksföretag, ramverk för affärsmodeller och arketyper för hållbar affärsmodellsinnovation. Resultaten indikerar att den vertikala jordbruksindustrin i Sydostasien är en tidig växande industri, med tidigt växande startups med litet kapital och små team. Trots befintliga ekonomiska, operativa och marknadsmässiga utmaningar har vertikala jordbruks-startups i Sydostasien stora möjligheter att växa med sina ansträngningar att utveckla sin vertikala jordbruksverksamhet till en mer hållbar verksamhet genom att bedriva olika hållbarhetsmetoder och införa hållbar affärsmodellsinnovation.

The focus of this study was on teacher’s knowledge about environmental education, instructional strategies used and challenges and opportunities experienced when they have to integrate environmental education. The study adopted a qualitative research method, case study design and an interpretative research paradigm. Qualitative data was collected using interviews and lesson observations. Three teachers participated in this study. Pseudonyms were used to protect their identities. A typology approach was utilised to analyse data based on the research questions, themes, conceptual framework, literature review and the personal experience of the researcher. All data collected was analysed and interpreted as a single case using. The study revealed that environmental education is not integrated effectively, teachers who integrate and those that do not integrate encountered challenges and that teachers have inadequate knowledge about the integration of environmental education. Therefore, it is recommended that the school together with teachers introduce continuous environmental education programmes and suggests approaches that can be used to improve their instructional strategies to enable the intergration of environmental education effectively. / Science and Technology Education / M.
