Tupí-guaraníspråken omagua [omg] och kokama [cod] utgör intressanta exempel på omfattande språkkontakt i Amazonas. Detta framgår av språkens lexikon, som till största delen består av ord från tupí-guaraníspråk, men med en hög andel ord från obesläktade språk. Det framgår också av grammatiken, som skiljer sig mycket från andra tupí-guaraníspråk. Det språk som var huvudsaklig lexifierare i kontaktsiThe Tupí–Guaraní languages Omagua [omg] and Kokama [cod] constitute interesting examples of heavy language contact in Amazonia. This is evident from their lexicon, which is mostly Tupí–Guaraní, but with a high percentage of non-Tupí–Guaraní forms, and the grammar, which is very distinct from other Tupí–Guaraní languages. The lexifying Tupí–Guaraní language in this contact situation is believed to

Syftet med studien var att undersöka förhållandet mellan självförverkligande, socialt jämförande och motivation. För socialt jämförande mättes både en generell benägenhet och benägenhet att jämföra i olika riktningar (uppåt eller nedåt). Den operationella definitionen för motivation utgick ifrån de kausalitetsorienteringar som återfinns inom self-determination theory. Datainsamling skedde i form aThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self actualization, social comparison, including upward and downward comparison, and different types of motivation as defined by the proposed causality orientations within self determination theory. Data was acquired through a survey distribution. The sample consisted of a convenience sample (N=131). The results, from a correlat

Chocaya Basin ligger i den nordvästra delen av dalen Cochabamba i Bolivia, där ett halvtorrt klimat råder. Den ökande befolkningen är beroende av lokala akviferer för dricksvatten och jordbruk, där brunnar används för att utvinna vattnet. Låg nederbörd, främst under torrperioden, och uppförandet av nya hus eller fabriksbyggnader, påverkar infiltrationen av vattnet i jorden och därmed akviferernas The Chocaya Basin is situated in the north-western part of the Valley of Cochabamba, Bolivia, where a semi-arid climate prevails. The increasing population is dependent on local aquifers for drinking water and irrigation. Wells are used to extract water. Scarce amount of rainfall, mainly during the dry season, and constructions of buildings, are reducing the infiltration of water in the soil and c
