Klimatförändringarnas stora problematik är ett av de mest diskuteradeämnena idag och är högst avgörande för framtiden och kommandegenerationer. Dagens ungdomar anser att klimatet är den viktigastesamhällsfrågan och ungdomar en viktig grupp att lägga fokus på vidforskning. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur unga motiveras att ageramer klimatvänligt utifrån tillit till klimatforskare, känslan av att kunnapåverka samt oro för klimatförändringarna. Tidigare forskning på vuxna harhittat signifikanta samband mellan alla dessa aspekter vilket denna studieockså gjorde. I studien fann vi även att oro för klimatförändringarna var denunikt viktigaste faktorn för att förklara det klimatvänliga handlandet när mankontrollerade för de andra variablerna. Studien genomfördes med hjälp av enwebb-enkät som distribuerades till gymnasieelever i Göteborg och Rönninge(N=106). Aktuell studie utfördes med en tvärsnittsdesign där måtten vartillförlitliga och väl validerade. Resultaten har bidragit till både praktiskaimplikationer såväl som intressanta teoretiska frågor för framtida forskning. / Climate change and the major problems it brings is the most discussed topictoday and are crucial for the future and future generations. Today'sadolescents consider the climate changes to be the most important societalissue and young people are an essential group to focus on when it comes toresearch. The aim with this study was to examine how young people getmotivated to act more pro-environmental based on trust in climate scientists,efficacy and climate change concern. Previous research with adults has foundsignificant correlations between all these aspects, so did this study. The studyalso found that climate change concern was the sole most important factor inexplaining pro-environmental behavior when controlling for the othervariables. The study was executed with a web survey that was distributed tohigh school students in Göteborg and Rönninge (N=106). The study wasconducted with a cross-sectional design where the measurements werereliable and well validated. The results have both practical implications aswell as it has aroused interesting theoretical questions for future research.

Modern science is turning to progressively more complex and data-rich subjects, which challenges the existing methods of data analysis and interpretation. Consequently, there is a pressing need for development of ever more powerful methods of extracting order from complex data and for automation of all steps of the scientific process. Virtual Scientist is a set of computational procedures that automate the method of inductive inference to derive a theory from observational data dominated by nonlinear regularities. The procedures utilize SINBAD – a novel computational method of nonlinear factor analysis that is based on the principle of maximization of mutual information among non-overlapping sources (Imax), yielding higherorder features of the data that reveal hidden causal factors controlling the observed phenomena. One major advantage of this approach is that it is not dependent on a particular choice of learning algorithm to use for the computations. The procedures build a theory of the studied subject by finding inferentially useful hidden factors, learning interdependencies among its variables, reconstructing its functional organization, and describing it by a concise graph of inferential relations among its variables. The graph is a quantitative model of the studied subject, capable of performing elaborate deductive inferences and explaining behaviors of the observed variables by behaviors of other such variables and discovered hidden factors. The set of Virtual Scientist procedures is a powerful analytical and theory-building tool designed to be used in research of complex scientific problems characterized by multivariate and nonlinear relations.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) academic programs and career fields continue to lack representation among females and minorities. STEM learning programs that engage youth in culturally relevant and personally meaningful experiences in STEM have been shown to develop participant self-concept as a scientist, as well as increase interest in related careers. This study uses the Draw-a-Scientist Checklist (DAST-C) instrument, as well as the Draw-a-Scientist Growth (DAST-G) instrument, which was developed and implemented by the author as part of this research. The DAST-C and DAST-G instruments were used to examine the science-related perceptions of youth before and after participation in a residential STEM geosciences program. An analysis found that the program produced statistically significant (p<.05) reductions to the DAST-C scientist stereotype scores in all twelve cycles of the program between 2018 and 2019, and statistically significant gains to the DAST-G scientist perception growth scores in eleven of the cycles.

The role of depicting and analysing scientist images to reveal gender-science stereotypes among students in K-12 classrooms is an ongoing research trend in science education literature. The study reported here carries on this research trend but focuses on preservice elementary teachers' images of scientists. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between preservice elementary teachers' gender and ethnicity and their drawn images of a female scientist, male scientist, and teacher as a scientist, respectively and the similarities and differences among images. In this study, preservice elementary teachers were asked to draw a female scientist, male scientist, and teacher as a scientist, respectively. One hundred and fifty participants indicated their gender and one hundred and twenty-five indicated their gender and ethnicity. Five hundred and eighty eight images were analysed. The data was analysed using a modified Draw-A-Scientist-Test Checklist (DAST-C) and chi-square tests. The results of this study indicate that gender-science stereotypes held by preservice teachers exist among genders and ethnicities. Factors that contribute to diminish or promote stereotypical images of scientists are age, education, culture, role models, and inquiry-based instruction. Also, similarities and differences between images of a female scientist, male scientist, and teacher as a scientist show that preservice teachers know how to draw scientists with physical indicators but do not include a realistic environment or activities for the scientist.

The theme chosen for the study ran from seminars on Mathematics in Par? and is up to organize and describe the life history, education, professional experience and scientific production of William Mauricio Souza Marcos de La Penha (Guilherme de La Penha), considering their academic, professional and intellectual life history, so that their academic and intellectual production be spread over the Brazilian scientific and academic community. We adopted the historical research as theoretical and methodological base for the development of this study, rising arguments about the profile of Guilherme de La Penha to characterize him as a multiskill intellectual and to reveal that his thoughts about science, technology, training scientists and educators were in accordance with their writings and their professional practice in order to build a first story about the life and work of William de La Penha. In this sense, we took the theoretical aspects related to historical research, biographies, intellectual itineraries, files and inventories as sources and historical construction vehicles in order to point out the essential elements to form a profile of the transdisciplinary intellectual historians, ie a profile scientist who carries out the research, management and administration, as well as a committed educator to the on-going training and forming process. The results pointed in different directions, among which we highlight the creation of Se??o Guilherme de La Penha at Universidade da Amazonia, producing several articles about the life and work of William de La Penha presented at national and international conferences and the proposal for documentary displays which could contribute to understanding the implementation of a scientific area in Par? State, an area that would not only be restricted to the production of knowledge, but more than that, it would include the spreading, which provides various means, primarily through education. Thus it was possible to ensure that La Penha has an intellectual profile that can be considered a multi-and transdisciplinary intellectual who defends the possibility of forming a scientist one and multiple, non-linear attitudes and dialogues with all other areas in order to be understood under a model scientist for the twenty-first century based on the model clearly inspired by the scientist authors with which he identified throughout their training and professional activities, like the three that stood out in their relationship science: Archimedes, Leonhard Euler and Cliford Ambrose Truesdell / Este estudo tem como foco central a historiografia brasileira da ci?ncia, voltado especificamente para a vida e obra de um matem?tico-f?sico da contemporaneidade, e passa a fazer parte do conjunto de resultados de pesquisas que investigam, organizam e descrevem itiner?rios pessoais, intelectuais e profissionais de cientistas e educadores brasileiros. O tema de estudo escolhido decorreu a partir de semin?rios sobre a Matem?tica no Par? e constitui-se em organizar e descrever a hist?ria de vida, forma??o, atua??o profissional e produ??o cient?fica de Guilherme Mauricio Souza Marcos de La Penha (Guilherme de La Penha), considerando sua trajet?ria acad?mica, profissional e intelectual, de modo que a sua produ??o acad?mica e intelectual seja esparzida junto a comunidade cient?fica e acad?mica brasileira. Adotou-se a pesquisa hist?rica como base te?rico-metodol?gica para o desenvolvimento desse estudo, levantando-se argumentos sobre o perfil de Guilherme de La Penha para caracteriz?-lo como um intelectual m?ltiplo e para revelar que seu pensamento sobre ci?ncia, tecnologia, forma??o de cientistas e educadores estiveram em harmonia nos seus escritos e na sua pr?tica profissional, tendo em vista a constru??o de uma primeira hist?ria sobre vida e obra de Guilherme de La Penha. Neste sentido, tomou-se os aspectos te?ricos relacionados a pesquisa hist?rica, biografias, itiner?rios intelectuais, arquivos e invent?rios como fontes e ve?culos de constru??o hist?rica tendo em vista apontar os elementos essenciais ? forma??o de um perfil transdisciplinar do intelectual historiado, ou seja, um perfil de cientista que exerce a pesquisa, a gest?o e a administra??o, bem como um educador comprometido com processo formativo e formador. Os resultados apontaram em diversas dire??es, dentre as quais, destaco a cria??o da Se??o Guilherme de La Penha na Universidade da Amaz?nia, a produ??o de v?rios artigos sobre a vida e obra de Guilherme de La Penha apresentados em congressos nacionais e internacionais e a proposta de exposi??es documentais que possam contribuir para o entendimento da implanta??o de uma ?rea cient?fica no Estado do Par?, ?rea essa que n?o se reduz apenas ? produ??o do conhecimento, e sim, inclui a difus?o, que se estabelece de diversos meios, principalmente por meio da educa??o. Assim foi poss?vel assegurar que La Penha tem um perfil intelectual que pode ser considerado um intelectual m?ltiplo e transdisciplinar que defende a possibilidade de se formar um cientista uno e m?ltiplo, de atitude n?o linear e que dialoga com todas outras ?reas de modo a ser compreendido sob um modelo de cientista para o s?culo XXI fundamentado no modelo de cientista claramente inspirado nos autores com os quais ele se identificou ao longo da sua forma??o e atua??o profissional, a exemplo dos tr?s que mais se destacaram na sua rela??o cient?fica: Arquimedes, Leonhard Euler e Cliford Ambrose Truesdell

It is known that the Report of Criminal Expertise is a document of technical - scientific nature – produced by forensic scientist – with the aim of assisting the courts with their content ba sed on the study of experts. As a help to J ustice, the Report of Criminal Expertise is the most robust evidence used by the magistrate s to issue a court order or for the use of juries in cases of crimes against life. Part of the research method was qualita tive and, for data collection,we used interview - by questionnaire - with law enforcement officers (police officers, judges and prosecutors) who acted in cases of murder and/or robbery and work in the five Administrative Regions that covered over 50% of th ese crimes. Later the documental analysis was begun, in which were verified 1 72 (one hundred seventy - two ) site surveys and its repercussions in the judicial. Some conclusions regarding the Reports have been suggested, such as their lateness in some cases. But it was possible to take a new look at the tech nical document that both aid in the C riminal J ustice. Was discussed, also, the lack of feedback information for forensic experts from the Crime Lab, which causes problems of motivational order . / A presente pesquisa visa identificar o papel do Laudo de Perícia Criminal junto aos operadores do direito, bem como qual o grau de participação nas sentenças proferidas em âmbito judicial. Sabe-se que o Laudo de Perícia Criminal é um documento de cunho técnico-científico – produzido por perito criminal – com o objetivo de auxiliar à Justiça com seu conteúdo baseado no estudo de especialistas, sendo o Laudo de Perícia Criminal um dos meios de prova mais robustos utilizados pelo magistrado para proferir uma sentença judicial ou para uso dos jurados nos casos de crimes dolosos contra a vida. Parte do método de pesquisa foi qualitativo e, para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se de entrevista – mediante questionário – com operadores do direito (delegados de polícia, juízes de direito e promotores de justiça) que atuavam em processos de homicídio e/ou latrocínio e lotados nas cinco Regiões Administrativas que, em conjunto, abarcavam mais de 50% dos crimes dessas naturezas. Posteriormente passou-se à análise documental, onde foram verificados 172 (cento e setenta e dois) levantamentos de local e suas repercussões no âmbito judicial. Algumas conclusões em relação aos laudos foram apontadas: tais como sua intempestividade em alguns casos. Porém, foi possível abrir um novo olhar para o documento técnico que tanto auxilia a justiça criminal. Abordou-se, ainda, a falta de uma realimentação (feedback) de informações para os peritos criminais do Instituto de Criminalística, que acarreta problemas de ordem motivacional.

Nowadays, becoming data-driven is the vision of almost all organizations. However, achieving this vision is not as easy as it may look like and there are many factors that affect, enable, support and sustain the data-driven ecosystem in an organization. Among these factors, this study focuses on data democracy which can be defined as the intra-organizational open data that aims to empower the employees getting faster and easier access to data in order to benefit from the business insight they need without the interfere of external help.  In the existing literature, while the importance of becoming data-driven has been widely discussed, when it comes to data democracy within organizations, there is a noticeable gap. As a result, this master’s thesis aims to justify the importance and role of the data democracy in becoming a data-driven organization, focusing on the case of a Swedish bank. Additionally, it intends to provide extra investigation on the role of data analytics tools in achieving data democracy.  The results of the study show that there is a strong connection between the benefits of the empowering different actors of the organization with the needed data knowledge, and the speeding up of the data-driven transformation journey. Based on the study, shared data and the availability of data to a larger number of stakeholders inside an organization result into a better understanding of different aspects of the problems, simplify the data-driven decision making and make the organization more data-driven. In the process of becoming data-driven, the organizations should provide the analytics tools not only to the data specialists but even to the non-data technical people. And by offering the needed support, training and collaboration possibilities between the two groups of employees (data specialists and non-data specialists), it should be attempted to enable the second group to extract the insight from the data, independently from the help of the data scientists.  An organization can succeed in the path of becoming data-driven when they invest on the reusable capabilities of its employees, by discovering the data science skills across various departments and turning their domain experts into citizen data scientists of the organization.
