20HT - 1ED433 - Electric Power Systems - 7,5 hp - Växjö - 50%

Today and the next forty years, the biggest change we have seen since electrical energy began to be distributed and widely used in the late 19th century will happen. 

We no longer reflect on getting electrical energy out of the socket at home. Even less do we think about how it gets there. In this course, we take you from the world of the sun, wind, water and atoms to the electrical outlet. Electricity distribution has historically been one-way from a few hundred places out to millions of users.

Today, with renewable electricity production, we are turning that way around and getting hundreds of thousands of sources that will send their energy to all users. 

This change does not happen by itself but is and will be dependent on people like you! With the course Electrical Power Systems you get insight into current and future infrastructure and can actively participate in building it for youself and your children.


The course deals with the structure of the system for distribution of electricity and the use of electricity for energy supply.

20HT - 1HI420 - Kina. Från terracottakrigare till rödgardister - 7,5 hp - Växjö - 50%

Kina har i allt högre grad blivit en faktor i världspolitik och ekonomi sedan 40-50 år. Utvecklingen går snabbt när det gäller ledarskap, strategiska relationer med omvärlden, ekonomiska framryckningar och kulturell förändring. Samtidigt har landet en dynamisk historia som sträcker sig över mer än tre årtusenden. Knappast någon annan civilisation i världen har en så lång sammanhängande historieskrivning och syn på den egna kulturen. Dagens kinesiska ledare citerar och hänvisar till filosofer, statsmän och diktare som levde långt f.Kr. Denna kurs följer huvuddragen av denna långa historia med både dramatiska brytpunkter och kontinuitet. Den ger en överblick över politiska linjer, samhällets utveckling och idéer och tänkande från stenåldern fram till idag.

20HT-1FE922-Projektledning I 15hp

Kursen startar den 31 augusti 2020 (slutar 17 januari 2021) och går på halvfart,  på heldistans. Heldistans innebär att det inte finns några träffar på plats under kursens gång och att examinationerna görs digitalt via kurssidan. Kurssidan öppnar i sin helhet vid kursstart - men det går att komma åt viss grundläggande information någon vecka före kursstarten.  Denna grundinformation finns i filen kursinformation/studiehandledning som du någon vecka före kursstart hittar under Anslag på kurssidan - övriga delar av kurssidan som beskrivs nedan är stängda till kursstarten då sidan öppnar helt (så bli inte orolig  för att vissa delar saknas innan dess). Det är en fördel att ha skaffat litteraturen före kursstarten. Samtliga böcker används och det är mest praktiskt att ha alla böckerna från start eftersom de första uppgifterna berör samtliga böcker. Litteraturlistan framgår av kursplanen som finns på lnu:s webbplats - sök kursplan för kurskod 1FE922 i sökfältet på startsidan. När kurssidan öppnar finns även kursplanen där. Det är alltid, som kursplanen anger, senaste utgåvan av kurslitteraturen som gäller och det är senaste utgåvorna som examinationen är anpassad till.

Det finns en flexibilitet i kursen så att varje student har möjlighet att påverka sitt eget arbetsflöde under terminen. Vissa perioder finns kanske tillfälle att jobba mera intensivt (än 50 %) och ibland kan utrymmet för kursens genomförande vara mera begränsat. För dig som trots det flexibla upplägget ändå föredrar ett stöd i studieplaneringen kommer ett förslag till upplägg för genomförande av kursen att finnas på kurssidan.

Strukturen på kurssidan ser i grova drag ut så här: Under rubriken Kursmaterial finns föreläsningsmaterial, kursbeskrivning/studiehandledning samt instruktioner för kursens inlämningsuppgifter. Obs! börja med att läsa dokumentet kursbeskrivning/studiehandledning noga när du kommer in på sidan.  Under rubriken Kommunikation hittar du kursforum där alla på kursen ser allt som skrivs och så finns det ett forum som är till för Enskild dialog med lärare. Under rubriken Examination hittar du inlämningsforumen för kursens examinationsuppgifter samt de självrättande kunskapstester som också ingår i examinationen.

Ta för vana att alltid kontrollera Anslag - Senaste nytt när du går in på kurssidan eftersom det är där allmän information rörande kursen publiceras - och du ansvarar för att hålla dig uppdaterad.

En mycket viktig sak är att du måste göra en inledningsuppgift (ett av kunskapstesternas deltest) senast den 14 september för att verifiera att du önskar kvarstå som registrerad på kursen. Detta första kunskapstest motsvarar ett andra upprop och är kopplat till tidigt avbrott på kursen på så sätt att den som inte gör uppgiften i tid kommer att avskrivas från kursen genom tidigt avbrott. Om du har för avsikt att genomföra kursen måste du alltså göra ett sådant test senast två veckor från kursstart.  Du väljer själv vilket av de fem testerna (Obs! räcker med ett deltest) du vill använda som inledningsuppgift. Resterande kunskapstester liksom övriga obligatoriska examinationsuppgifter gör du när som helst under kursen. Det finns även en frivillig uppgift (del 2 av en rapport med två delar där del 1 är obligatorisk) som ger möjlighet till högre betyg än E (vilket godkända obligatoriska uppgifter ger ) som till skillnad från de obligatoriska uppgifterna, som bedöms så fort det är möjligt, kommer att bedömas som först när kursen är slut i januari 2021.

Varmt välkommen till kursen Projektledning I!

Siw Lundqvist
Lektor i affärsinformatik, kursansvarig

PS. Vill påminna om att hämta studentkonto och att registrera dig på kursen i Ladok senast kursveckan. Vid frågor om registrering, kontakta ekonomihogskolan@lnu.se

20VT-1JO206 Collecting, analyzing and moderating user­ generated social media material, 7.5 credits

Welcome to the course Collecting, analyzing, and moderating user-generated social media material! 

Course introduction is May 3rd from 9.00-11.00. 

On the course, you get different types of learning. The lectures give an overview of an area. You use them together with the prescribed course literature to answer specific questions in a self-correcting test (which does not give points). The lectures address overviews of course literature and essential conditions in openness, freedom of expression, journalistic ethical principles, and ethical research considerations. 

You are assessed in three mandatory examinations:

1) In the group project work, assessed in an oral examination, you work with at least one person in collaboration for a journalistic production using different methods to collect, analyze, and moderate user-generated material from social media. Resources such as supervision and seminars are provided. The oral examination of the group project work will be made on May 24th at 9-12 according to the upcoming schedule. 

2) At this oral examination, you also do an "opposition" of another group work.

3) The course ends with individual work, where you choose an exciting example of journalistic use of user-generated material that you want to delve into. The in-depth study takes place by doing some form of test of the method, tool, production, moderation, etc. The deadline for the written report describing your work is June 4th.

21HT - 4MK101 - Digital media and methods for sampling and analysis - 7,5 hp - Kalmar - 25%

This course is created because of a need for updating the thinking and applying of methods in humanities and social science. The need consists of on the one hand to understand and make use of digital media in various scientific studies. On the other hand the need is to understand and make use of relevant methods including digital methods when studying digital media. At the same time, there is a need for discernment in relation to the wealth of information that lay readily before us on various platforms throughout the digital world: how can we as scholars use this information for our own projects in the best way? How do we use it in an ethically sound way?

Therefore, this is a course for students interested in advancing knowledge on the importance of understanding digital media in general as a framework, to include ethical aspects and also the ability to apply concrete sampling and analysis methods for digital media.

The course covers how digital media change culture and social relations and how this affects scientific sampling and analysis methods. The course further develops ethical approaches for the collection of research materials. Through various theoretical starting points research data is analysed. During the course you will try various digital techniques to analyse and visualise data.

This is an online course for 7.5 credits and it is adapted to an advanced level. Therefore, we as lecturers build on and deepen the knowledge, skills and abilities that you as students have gained at the graduate level in a humanistic or social science discipline. The pace for the course is a so called quarter speed. This means that you will devote about a day a week for the course. We as teachers will guide your effort during the course by giving assignments continuously throughout the course.

Teaching and learning will take place through a MyMoodle course web site. You are expected to visit the course web site every week. The course is structured as themes, or course modules. This first course module is “Introducing digital media, theory and method”. Second module is “Understanding contexts and approaches”. Third module is “Sampling methods”. Fourth module is “Analysis methods”. Fifth and concluding module is “Exam”.

For every course module you are expected to watch video lectures with attached assignments, to take part of assigned resources, read about news from teachers and students and to contribute to moderated discussions in Forum, seminar. Communication with us teachers takes place through the course web site in assigned communication forum Questions for teacher. When individual communication is needed, you can email us.

22HT - 4BT312 - Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) - 7,5 hp - Växjö - 50%

Dear Students,

Welcome to the course " Life Cycle Analysis"– 4BT 312 (7.5 hp)

The science of life cycle analysis (LCA) is in continuous development. Ample research has been done to improve environmental indicators and understand systems' complexity while performing LCA, attributional and consequential LCA. Understanding LCA results is important to make them more useful for decision-making and communication. Development of any product, service, or infrastructure causes environmental impact over their value chain viz; from resource extraction during its use/consumption to waste management.  This course is aimed at (i) increasing the understanding of the environmental impacts of a product/service throughout the value chain, (ii) the importance of life cycle thinking in business as well as in the public sector and authorities, and (iii) deepening the knowledge of life cycle analysis. The course comprises lectures, seminars, project work, and a written exam.

Consequential and Attributional Aspects in LCAs; LCA standards;  LCA on Forestry & Biofuel; Buildings; Energy System, evaluation of a product supply chain: life cycle assessment perspective on food, fuel, and fuel systems Integrating LCA with LCC for decision-support are some of the highlights within the course.

Dr. Brijesh Mainali (Associate Professor) will be this course's coordinator. Besides, Dr. Georgios Pardalis (Postdoc researcher) and Ph.D. researchers Ms. Roma Almeida and Ms. Migena Sula will be guiding students with the project work. This course will have a couple of invited lectures from national and international experts in LCA, both from Academia and from Industry. We believe you will gain academic and some hands-on knowledge from industry partners on Life Cycle Analysis through this course.

The course will run in hybrid mode, which means lectures will be given on campus and via Zoom. No recording will be available. The lecture notes and presentation will be uploaded to My-Moodle after each class. Any updates and changes will be notified via MY-Moodle. The link for the course schedule (Time Edit database) is provided below. The course plan has been uploaded in My Moodle.
