In a preliminary study aimed at outlining the organization of affective categories in Romanian, several cases were identified where Romanians made use of two or more competing linguistic terms applied to what appeared to be the same conceptual configuration . One such case is taken into consideration in this 5-study follow-up investigation, whose purpose was to obtain empirical data for establishi
The general purpose of this thesis was to test the assumption that perspectives (i.e., way of seeing) and attributions (explaining behavior) are related to decision making and to attitudes in a controversial issue. Previous research on perspectives, attributions, attitudes, and decision making and the relationship between these phenomena has found that people make different judgments in decision m
Field experiments with ISA (Intelligent Speed Adaptation) has been carried out in the city of Debrecen, Hungary. Twenty vehicles were equipped with two kinds of ISA systems: 1) support via an active accelerator pedal and 2) warning via beep signals and flashing red light when exceeding the speed limit. Speed was continually logged in all vehicles and the test drivers were interviewed. The results
What kind of indispensable cognitive ability is needed for intelligence, sociability, communication, and technology to emerge on a habitable planet? My answer is simple: intersubjectivity. I stress the significance of intersubjectivity, of shared cognition, for extraterrestrial intelligence and interstellar communication, and argue that it is in fact crucial and indispensable for any successful in
The new library Modelica.StateGraph is a freeModelica package providing components to modeldiscrete event and reactive systems in a convenientway. It has a similar modeling power as Statecharts,but avoids some deficiencies of Statecharts by usingelements of JGrafchart and by using Modelica as an“action” language. An overview of the StateGraphlibrary is given, the available components and anapplica
Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 9 år (1989-1997) studerades individuellt märkta mindre hackspettar i ett undersökningsområde i södra Smålands ädellövskogar. De flesta studierna gjordes i 17 potentiella revir, vilka undersöktes årligen. Följningar av hackspettar försedda med radiosändare visade att fåglarna rörde sig inom ett, i medeltal, 742 ha stort hemområde under vintern. Under häckningstideOver 9 years, 116 breeding attempts made by individually marked lesser spotted woodpeckers (Dendrocopos minor) were followed in a study area in southern Sweden. The home-range area decreased from on average 742 ha in winter to a defended territory of 103 ha prior to breeding and 43 ha during nesting. The annual timing of the breeding varied between years but was each year synchronized with the bu
On Lauritz Weibull (1873–1960), archivist and professor of history at Lund University (1919–1938). It is suggested that the portrayal of Catholicism in his historical essays was characterized by both lucidity and familiarity, and not the obscurity and alienation that was usually the situation in early twentieth century Scandinavia.
Feeding norms are pervasive, and ideals of healthy food increase in relation to advice from commercial and government actors. Here we address how perceptions of “proper” food in Swedish family households are formed in relation to children’s preferences. We argue that what is served in today’s Swedish families should be understood in the context of discourse related to food and feeding and as a con
