FörstÄelsen för andra mÀnniskor som krÀvs för lyckade interaktioner, förklaras i attributionsteorierna "Theory of Mind" och "Simulation Theory. Ett vanligt men ouppklarat fenomen Àr det fundamentala attributionsfelet, dÀr beteende felaktigt attribueras till inre generella egenskaper. Fenomenet reflekterar en abstrakt mental konstruktion i enlighet med Construal Level Theorys antagande om hur psykologisk distans inverkar pÄ perception. I en modifierad Attitude Attribution Paradigm modell undersöks om spatial distans pÄverkar det fundamentala attributionsfelet och om skillnader föreligger mellan kvinnor och mÀn. Kort/lÄng spatial distans primades genom en kontroversiell text, via information om dess kompositionsplats, som fungerade som underlag för bedömning av skribentens Äsikt.

The report is based on a survey and studies of Peab business management systems and production literature.

The goal is to find how Peab Stockholm Building 3 will work on the experience feedback to allow for better productivity. In conclusion, the report author tries to demonstrate what can lead to increased productivity and improved work experience..

One key factor in silviculture today is sustainability. In order to achieve sustainability it may be important to restore lost nutrients to the forest after clearcutting. In order to calculate the removal, you need to know how much of different elements you will find in different tree compartments. The aim of this study was to investigate if the concentration of elements in different tree compartments of spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) were related to the moisture conditions of the site. Five plots at Risfallet (60Âș 21ÂŽ N, 16Âș 13ÂŽ E), was placed along a moisture gradient in a 40- year spruce stand.

Ever since the birth of the film medium, stories about drugs and addiction have been produced. There is a fascination with the lifestyle, the effects of drugs and the ways in which it can be portrayed on the screen. The thesis starts off by giving an historical context, ranging from the late 19th Century and up until today, describing how the society and the public have treated the subject and how the narrative mirrors these attitudes. The purpose of the thesis is to take a closer look at this recurrent theme. Eleven fictional films produced between the 1980?s and 2000?s have been chosen and psychoanalytical film theory is used to analyze the ways in which the addict is represented; how filmic disgust and the abject makes the characters tread over physical and social boundaries and how the effect of the drug have the character tread over mental boundaries through dreams and hallucinations..

The abscence of the brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral (1886?1973) in the general art history is investigated, using the colonial structure as a starting point. In South America she is regarded as one of the greatest artists in modern time, in the rest of the world she is more or less unknown. The conclusion is that the colonial mechanisms are still in progress in our assumed postcolonial world, and has excluded Tarsila do Amaral, and the anthropophagic movement she was a part of, from the art history. The study points out the importance of looking into this neglected artist and the historic event.

Detta arbete syftar till att ?ka f?rst?elsen f?r kopplingen mellan elevers l?sf?rm?ga och textprobleml?sningsf?rm?ga. Textproblem utg?r ofta kopplingen mellan matematiken och verkliga situationer, n?got som har potential att g?ra matematiken meningsfull f?r eleverna. Trots detta finns brister i elevers f?rm?ga att f?rst? och l?sa textproblem, vilket vi misst?nker kan vara ett resultat av bristande l?sf?rm?ga.
