Together with response time the force of responses to stimuli can provide important clues about cognitive and affective processes. However, while there has been much discussion of factors involved in the accurate measurement of response time (RT), key issues and assumptions in assessment of response force (RF) have been far less studied. Here, hierarchical Bayesian analysis is used to examine the
Det finns önskemål från kommunens sida att öka det kommunala engagemanget hos medborgare i allmänhet och hos yngre medborgare i synnerhet. Detta kan vara allt från att engagera sig i upprättandet av en staty, till att anmäla en nedbrunnen grillplats. Datakonsultföretaget Abou AB har i samråd med vissa kommuner kommit fram till att en mobil applikation kan vara en möjlig kanal när det kommer till aThere is a desire by the municipalities to increase local involvement of citizens in general and of young citizens in particular. Computer consultancy firm Abou AB, in consultation with some of the municipalities, has concluded that a mobile application can be a possible channel when it comes to increasing the municipal engagement. Examples may be ranging from engagement in the question of whether
Ett antal studier har visat att buller har negativa hälsoeffekter (Barregård et al. 2005; Rosvall et al. 2009; Nilsson, Eriksson & Palmqvist 2009). Exempel på problem som kan uppstå på grund av buller är sömnsvårigheter, hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar, minskad inlärning och reducerad kognitiv förmåga (Berglund, Lindvall & Schwela 1999). Dessa typer av hälsoproblem leder till lidande för den enskNoise has negative health effects according to a number of studies (Barregård et al. 2005; Rosvall et al. 2009; Nilsson, Eriksson & Palmqvist 2009). Example of problems that can occur from exposure to noise is sleeping disturbances, heart diseases, lessened learning and reduced cognitive performance (Berglund, Lindvall & Schwela 1999). This kind of problems cause suffering on a personal le
Popular Abstract in Swedish Turismindustrin är numera en av världens absolut största industrier. Den är av central betydelse för ekonomisk utveckling och arbetstillfällen i ett stort antal länder. Det finns dock en baksida: turism leder ofta till exploatering av miljön, och bidrar i många fall till sociala och kulturella problem. Dagens turismindustri är inte förenlig med hållbar utveckling och deTourism has become a leading industry in the world and continues to grow rapidly, contributing essentially to economic growth and employment in many countries. Tourism as it looks today poses serious threats to the environment and considerable social and cultural challenges. The problem addressed by this research lies in the weakness of current concepts and practices in pursuit of sustainable tour
Popular Abstract in Swedish Huvudtanken i svensk välfärdspolitik är att genom generella åtgärder skapa ett samhälle tillgängligt för alla medborgare. Det är därför viktigt att undvika segregering och särlösningar och i stället höja normalverksamhetens standard. Fritidshemmets mål och uppgifter är desamma för alla barn och kvaliteten i verksamheten ska vara så hög att alla barns behov tillgodoses. The main idea behind the Swedish welfare state is to create a society accessible to all citizens by using to general measures. It is, therefore, important to avoid segregation and special solutions, and instead increase the standard of normal activities. The objectives and tasks of day centres for school-age children are the same for all children and the quality of the operations should be of a st
The formation of micro-droplets due to a pulsative micro-jet (width of 40 mu m) is studied using the 3D Navier-Stokes equations for multi-phase flows using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) and Volume of Solid (VOS) models. The droplet formation is studied for different transient velocity conditions and mass rates. The numerical results show reasonable agreement with both analytical theory and experimenta
When a country liberalizes trade through lowering taxes on imports, it stands before a number of challenges. Recovering lost trade tax revenue is one of them. Cape Verde is one of the countries that are currently negotiating an Economic Partnership Agreement with the EU and studies predict that the tariff reductions resulting from the agreement may have a severe impact on Cape Verde’s government r
Studien vände sig till personal, olika yrkesgrupper, som arbetar med krigsskadade och torterade i Sverige. Syftet var att beskriva personalgruppens mående och tillväxt i relation till arbetet, inställning till död, ondska och förlåtelse samt bakgrundsvariabler (t.ex eget trauma och arbetssituation) och undersöka samband mellan dessa. 69 traumaarbetare svarade på ett frågeformulär som mätte dessa fThe 69 participants of this study were Swedish personnel of various occupations, working at centers for war and torture survivors. The aim was to describe the personnel’s reactions from their work, their background (e.g. trauma prevalence, work situation), their attitude towards death, evil, and forgiveness and the relationships between these. The results of this study show that the participants h
The literature on regional innovation systems emphasizes the role of the region as locus for interactive learning and knowledge exchange, stressing the importance of (geographical) proximity for innovation. Even though the importance of extra-regional knowledge is widely acknowledged, there has been only little emphasis on the particular role and the nature of global knowledge flows. The aim of th
Aim: The primary objective of this study was to describe demographics and end-of-life treatments of children with cancer at a government tertiary cancer center in India. Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken of medical charts of all children younger than 18 years, who died as inpatients while undergoing treatment at the pediatric oncology department between April and September 2016. Data
Quantitative evaluations are valuable in the strive for improvements and asserting quality. However, the field of Command & Control (C2) evaluations are hard to navigate, and it is difficult to find the correct measurement for a specific situation. A comprehensive Scoping Study was made concerning measurements of C2 performance and effectiveness. A lack of an existing appropriate framework for
The international development community is transitioning from the era of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), ending in 2015, to the era of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which have a 2030 target. Global development assistance for health (DAH) increased substantially in the MDGs era, from US $10.8 billion in 2001 to $28.1 billion by 2012 (in 2010 US dollars), and it played a crucial
A comparative experimental investigation has been performed, comparing the emissions from a synthetic jet fuel and from Jet AI. In the investigation, the unburned hydrocarbons were analyzed chemically and the regulated emissions of NOX, CO and HC were measured. All combustion tests were performed under elevated pressures in a gas turbine combustor rig. A Swedish company, Oroboros AB, has developed
Observational learning is a successful method for improving writing skills in various genres. We explore effects of a five lesson intervention series based on peer observation. Fifty-five Swedish 5th-grade students aged 10-12 years followed this intervention program. The language and reading comprehension and working memory capacity were tested. The students watched short film-clips with peers wor
Emission trading schemes (ETS) have emerged as a popular climate policy measure and are increasingly advocated as policy instruments to support the transition to a green economy. Using complementary analytical methods, this research investigated the institutional developments and complexities of the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS). It focuses on (1) institutional experience and admin
