Popular Abstract in Swedish Senare forskning har påvisat att beslutsfattare som återger attraktivitets skattningar (aspekter) av egenskaper (attribut) av det valda och det icke valda alternativet i ett beslut som de tidigare fattat, ökar attraktivitets differensen mellan alternativen. Denna efterbesluts attraktivitets differentiering (konsolidering) verkar till fördel för det valda alternativet. KRecent research has shown that when decision makers in retrospect are asked to reproduce attractiveness evaluations (of aspects) of important characteristics (attributes) of a chosen and a non-chosen choice alternative, they exaggerate the attractiveness difference between the alternatives. This post-decision attractiveness differentiation (consolidation) works in favor of the chosen alternative.

The aim of the present study was to determine the pollution load originating from storm water on Lake Vaxjosjon. Each year about 1,050,000 m3 of storm water are discharged into the lake. Storm water represents a substantial pollution source for the lake and therefore also a main reason for the hypertrophic conditions in the lake. In order to evaluate the effects of the discharged storm water on th

We study the influence of tree's depth and nodes' fan-out on the performance of WiMax mesh networks. For a given tree topology, we first analytically obtain per-node delay and per-node throughput. Then among plenty of tree topologies, extractable from a given network's graph, we search feasible trees which fulfil some per-node and network QoS requirements. Since the searching space is potentially

The use of protective gloves is of importance in workplaces where hazardous chemicals are handled, including the chemical industry, the plastic industry, as well as in environments such as dental practices, hairdressing, and beauty salons. Occupational dermatology can provide crucial advice regarding how to avoid or protect the patient against allergens found in the work environment and provide th

In this chapter we propose a novel ethical approach to city branding based on a relational understanding of vulnerability. We rethink the prevailing ethics of competition and competitiveness in the field by demonstrating its limitations for contributing positively to urban sustainable development. An ethics of vulnerability approach is outlined based on principles of performativity, interdependenc

This study attempts to discover how ergonomic guidelines should be visualized in order to make it easier and more interesting to find and interpret the guidelines throughout the construction process. A prototype visualizing ergonomic guidelines at the intranet has been developed and evaluated at a company that produces cars for the global market. The results shows that the visualization of ergonom

I tidigare studier har det visats att examinationen i hög grad styr hur studenterna kommer att studera under en kurs. Därför är det viktigt att examinationen inte bara testar ytliga kunskaper och beräkningsförmåga, utan även förståelse. I denna artikel diskuteras olika sätt att utvärdera studenternas förståelse genom att analysera resultaten på skriftliga tentamina. En fallstudie på Institutionen

Abstract in UndeterminedThe aim of this study was to investigate how well subjects beat out a rhythm using eye movements and to establish the most accurate method of doing this. Eighteen subjects participated in an experiment were five different methods were evaluated and a fixation based method was found to be the most accurate. All subjects were able to synchronize their eye movements with a giv

Forestry has been one of the major industries in the Swedish economy since the middle of the nineteenth century. During the second part of the twentieth century the industry went through powerful technological changes. Traditional handicraft methods were replaced by modern high technology. As for the forestry VET this meant a strong expansion during the 1950s and 1960s followed by integration into

Organizational ambidexterity has emerged as a research area promoting innovation for both short- and long- term success. Structural ambidexterity proposes dual structures and strategies to differentiate efforts, focusing on one or the other form of innovation. In contrast, contextual ambidexterity relies on behavioral and social means to integrate exploitation and exploration. In this article we h
