Their feedback includes, who are potential operators on this market and their motives, possible effects of such a market on the real estate market and other aspects of society..

Under idrottsliga aktiviteter, är det kutym bland deltagare och åskådare att ge verbal feedback till andra eller till sig själv med syfte att förbättra prestationen. Vissa använder verbal feedback, andra inte. Vad ger då detta för effekt? Är dessa två fenomen, verbal feedback och prestation, på något sätt relaterade till varandra? Resultat från en sådan studie, skulle vara fördelaktig för idrottare på alla nivåer, såväl som för idrotts- och rehabiliteringsforskning som baserar sina fynd och metoder på empiriska resultat erhållna från mätningar av individers förmåga att utveckla kraft under olika förhållanden. Huvudsyftet med denna studie är att undersöka effekten av verbal feedback på en maximal isometrisk armbågsflexion.

I denna studie undersöks användandet av formativ bedömning i praktiken och vad lärare anser om bedömningssättet inom matematik. Dessutom klargörs begreppen formativ och summativ bedömning samt feedback. Tyngdpunkten ligger på formativ bedömning, men även summativ bedömning belyses. I studien genomfördes observationer av fyra lektioner i avseende att ta del av lärarens användande av formativ bedömning i matematik. Även intervjuer av fyra lärare har genomförts för att få reda på lärarnas tankar och åsikter om bedömningssättet.

Vittnesmål används idag som ett av de viktigaste bevisen i brottsmål. Samtidigt är felaktiga vittnesmål den främsta orsaken till att personer blir oskyldigt dömda (Wells & Olson, 2003). Forskning visar att det är svårt att bedöma vittnens tillförlitlighet. Det är dock klart att de flesta förmågor går att förbättra med träning och feedback. Syftet med studien är därför att undersöka om direkt feedback samt information om faktorer som kännetecknar korrekta vittnesutsagor har betydelse för förmågan att bedöma utsagors tillförlitlighet.

The purpose of this Masters thesis is to accomplish an understanding for childrens librarians purchases of juvenile books. Two main questions are to be answered: - Which considerations do childrens librarians do when buying juvenile books and which goals and motives are behind their purchases? - What do childrens librarians think that their knowledge and competence consists of and how is that knowledge useful when buying juvenile books? To answer the questions qualitative interviews with five childrens librarians have been carried out. The material has been analyzed through a theoretical construction consisting of theories about collection development, book selection and quality judgments. The conception tacit knowledge silent knowledge from Michael Polanyi has also been used for interpretation.

Slutsatsen i vår studie är att syftena för inhyrning av personal är likvärdiga mot tidigare studier som utförts. Vi har i studien klargjort att flexibilitet är fortfarande ett centralt syfte att hyra personal istället för att anställa. Vi konstaterar även att motivet ?undvika LAS? inte är ett vanligt syfte att hyra personal, även fast undvikandet av LAS är en omdiskuterad faktor i den teoretiska referensramen. Tidigare studier visar att den största anledningen till att hyra personal från ett bemanningsföretag, är som ett alternativ för vikariat.

This report is the outcome of an exam work made in interaction design, bachelor degree, at the School of Arts and Communication, Malmö University. Working in collaboration with the childhood obesity unit, Region Skåne, our aim was to fulfill their request of a web based application preparing the children for treatment at their facility. Furthermore the application intends to give the children knowledge concerning obesity as well as teaching them how to obtain a healthier lifestyle in terms of provision and activities. The application concerns children in different ages and therefore different stages of their learning abilities. Our conclusions are that they need to be challenged and obtain feedback in different ways to get motivated.

To which extent do discussions about religion occur? The method consisted of a both quantitative and qualitative content analysis.

Islam was the religion that occurred most frequently in the coursebooks.

Timing innebär att bedöma tid och reglera sitt beteende tidsmässigt. Precision i timing påverkas bland annat av sensorisk feedback, men det är inte känt om starkare feedback ökar precisionen. Femton män och fem kvinnor genomförde en synkroniserings- och produktions-uppgift där feedbackljuden under produktionen förekom i fem ljudstyrkenivåer (65-105 dB i 10 dB steg) och två frekvenser (120 & 4200 Hz). Jag fann en signifikant interaktionseffekt mellan ljudnivå och frekvens. Även signifikanta skillnader i hur man skattade ljuden och skillnader i hur män och kvinnor skattade påträffades.
