This thesis explores how verbal and nonverbal signs communicate attitudes and the rhetorical functions of such attitudinal signs. Attitudes are regarded as rationalized evaluations of attitudinal objects, and through their manifestation in signs an attitudinal gestalt is communicated. This gestalt is regarded as the audiences perception of the rhetors attitude. It is shown that the attitudinal signs function as ethical, logical and pathetic proofs and that they can create identification between the audience and the rhetor. The signs can have effects on the audiences perception of the attitudinal objects, their perception of the rhetor and influence the social dynamic of the discourse.

Today, the catering personnel are an essential part of the safety organization on board Swedish passenger vessels in ferry services. Their responsibilities for the safety on board have increased in connection with the changes in regulations made on the shipping industry. These changes have been mostly related to human factors and structural leadership in the last 25 years.A well-functioning safety organization requires competence and commitment from every individual. Previous researches on Swedish passenger ferries concerning the safety organization have raised issues regarding the catering personnel?s perception of the safety on board.

Högerhänta och vänsterhänta försökspersoner utsattes för, och fick bedöma skillnad i tonhöjd hos, ett antal tonpar i vilka den ena tonen saknade grundfrekvens. Undersökningens ändamål var att söka verifiera hypotesen: "Vid perception av komplexa toner med saknad grundfrekvens, uppvisar flertalet vänsterhänta människor asymmetri i mindre utsträckning än vad högerhänta människor gör". Emellertid kunde inte hypotesen vare sig verifieras eller falsifieras, eftersom för få försökspersoner kunde uppbringas..

Under de senaste ?ren har digitaliseringen framfart f?r?ndrat hur m?nniskor lever och arbetar, vilket har lett till stora f?r?ndringar inom m?nga yrken ?ver v?rlden.

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att öka förståelsen för kunders perception av företags miljödesign och hur detta påverkar deras uppfattning om företags image. Uppsatsen grundar sig på ett fallföretag, SEB i Lund. Den emiriska analysen har sin grund i kalitativa djupintervjuer gjorda med SEB och med SEBs kunder. Att kunder reflekterar över miljödesign är något som framkommer i studien. Studien indikerar att de krav kunderna har på en bank framförallt är helhetskänslan, som skall vara inbjudande och intressant.

The aim of this paper is to examine the layout of public spaces and its effect on human behavior with focus on the relation between pedestrians and cyclists movement patterns in a specific path. The study emanates from the security aspect of pedestrians and cyclists, and builds upon previous theories and empirical studies about perception, security, information design, environmental psychology and behavior. The result shows that individual behavior and movement pattern differs with age, purpose, physical- and other conditions, and layout of the surroundings. A design proposal for improved layout of a path and a node between different oncoming paths has been developed to aid the users? needs, where a separation of walkways and bike lanes forms zones of security for the purpose of better orientation and a better flow between the users..

The concept of art infusion has become more and more used in the field of marketing and product advertising, and the phenomenon has been subject to research.

In 2022, Russia completed its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The EU responded with powerful restrictive measures against Russia to demonstrate its unified support for Ukraine, indicating that the perception of Russia as an external threat to the EU, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), has become increasingly evident following the invasion. Drawing on theory and previous research suggesting that external threats strengthen group identities, I argue that Russia is perceived as an external threat to EU identity in CEE after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Stephan and Stephan's integrated threat theory considers an external threat as either realistic, posing a threat to the ingroup's existence, or symbolic, posing a threat to the ingroup's worldview. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between EU identity and the perception of Russia as a group threat to the EU among individuals in CEE based on the nature of the group threat: realistic and symbolic.

M?nniskans dominans ?ver naturen har kommit att leda till stora klimatkriser som utg?r konsekvenser f?r hela v?rlden. Klimatkriser och klimathot som p?verkar havet, ?r av stor betydelse f?r alla som bor p? planeten eftersom havet t?cker 70% av jordens yta. Samtidigt som forskare f?rs?ker deklarera hur antropocena klimatf?r?ndringar ?ver v?rlden m?ste stoppas, visar den danske antropologen Cecilie Rubow (2022) genom etnografisk forskning hur m?nniskor har en uttrycklig ?nskan, ett slags beg?r att ?terkomma till havet p? olika s?tt.

The aim of this Master?s thesis is to examine the librarians? perception of the users of children?s and young people?s literature. Questions posed in this study are: How are the librarians described according to appearance, personality and interaction with the users? How are the librarians described compared to former studies on the subject? Which perception can be seen, based on Douglas Rabers?s theory which describes the role the public libraries can take in the society? The study is based on content analysis. We have examined 15 descriptions of librarians in both picture books and literature for young adults, published between 1985 and 2006.

Konspirationsteorier ?r ett v?xande problem f?r demokratins vidmakth?llande och det finns behov f?r en ?kad f?rst?else f?r under vilka omst?ndigheter konspiratoriskt t?nkande ?r starkt. Tidigare forskning visar att hotuppfattning resulterar i subjektiva k?nslor av os?kerhet, kontrollf?rlust och oro, som kan ligga till grund f?r konspiratoriskt t?nkande. Det finns en brist p? empiriska studier av sambandet mellan hotuppfattning och konspiratoriskt t?nkande. Det finns ocks? grund att tro att sambandet kan se olika ut beroende p? vilken typ av hotfull situation det r?r sig om.
