The system is available at "http://www.ida.liu.se/rkbs". The presented language for describing knowledge in the rough knowledge base caters for implicit definition of rough sets by combining different regions (e.g.

In order to bring forward a deeper understanding of New Age and mindfulness? role in the modern western society, my intention is to see how the authors of mindfulness claim validity of their doctrines in the discourse. Mindfulness attracts a wide range of perpetrators and is used in many areas in the society today.

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka sambandet mellan emotionell intelligens (EI )och ledarskapsstilar i Sverige. Tidigare studier har funnit ett samband mellan emotionell intelligens och transformativt ledarskap. Studien syftade även till att undersöka ifall tidigare forsknings resultat mellan emotionell intelligens och ledarskapsstilar skiljer sig i förhållande till ett svenskt urval. Ledarna (N=61) besvarade på frågor angående emotionell intelligens (SEIS) samt på frågor angående ledarskapsstil (MLQ5X). Resultatet visade ett signifikant positivt samband mellan emotionell intelligens och alla fyra komponenter i transformativt ledarskap.

Bakgrund till uppsatsens tillkomst är sista decenniets omvärldsförändring och Sveriges allt ökande engagemang internationellt med förband och officerare i multinationella staber. Uppsatsen avhandlar huruvida den svenska operativa underrättelsebedömandemodellen skall förändras mot bakgrund av hur USA:s Joint Intelligence Preparation of the Battlespace (JIPB) är uppbyggd. Uppsatsen utgår från hypotesen att JIPB är mer detaljerad och penetrerar djupare fler områden än den svenska motsvarigheten. Uppsatsen inleds med en beskrivning av de två modellerna. Härvid är den amerikanska modellen beskriven relativt ingående.

This study examines the effects of a person's appearence on grading. 80 teachers in Swedish have assessed a text, illustrated with a picture of the supposed author.
