Predicting an uncertain future with uncertain knowledge is a challenge. The success of efforts to preserve biodiversity, to maintain biosecurity and to reduce a negative impact from climate change, depend on scientifically based predictions of future events. The ongoing introduction of non-indigenous species threatens ecological systems for which empirical data is sparse and scientific knowledge i

Denna föreläsning syftar till att synliggöra en potential och att bjuda in intresserade att vara med och utnyttja potentialen i fråga. Detta är bakgrunden: Certec har med början i Isaac-projektet från 1993 utvecklat ett tekniskt/pedagogiskt koncept baserat på Bilden som språk för människor som har ett svagt talspråk eller inget alls. Det finns ett antal fallstudier (egna och andras) av växelverk

Two separate Stroop-like paradigms with multimodal auditory and visual stimuli were presented. The results revealed a paradigm asymmetry where auditory stimuli resulted in a Stroop-like effect in both paradigms meanwhile visual stimuli only resulted in a Stroop-like effect in the colour-paradigm. The conclusion involved discussing the Working Memory attention and visual and auditory perceptual str

Various forms of supply chain management (SCM) research have been carried out in many different manufacturing or industrial settings over the last decades. However, less research exist concerning supply chain management in the service industry. Yet, definitions of supply chain management as they pertain to the service industry are only slightly different than those definitions of SCM in manufactur

Risk adverse individuals demand a sickness insurance to cover the risk of income loss due to work incapacity. Since health or sickness is not easy to observe, there is asymmetric information causing the well-known problems with adverse selection and moral hazard. Furthermore, sickness, with resulting inability to work, is to some extent private information hidden to the insurer. One effect is that

A producer-independent, problem-oriented, group-education programme with 2-day meetings on drug treatment in primary health care (PHC) was developed and evaluated. Initially, it was tested on a selected group of general practitioners (district physicians), using a non-exposed group as control. A comprehensive questionnaire was used to test changes in attitudes. There was a significant change in at

Popular Abstract in SwedishEn av de viktigaste forskningsfrågorna inom matematikutbildning handlar om förståelse. Det huvudsakliga syftet med den här avhandlingen har varit att nå insikt i olika förståelseformer i skolmatematik och former av lärandeidentiteter i två lärandemiljöer. Avhandlingens specifika fokus var flexibla sätt att urskilja delar och avgränsa helheter och undersöka hur lärande inA central question in mathematics education research concerns understanding. The main objective of the present thesis has been to obtain insights into flexible modes of knowing in school mathematics in two school class contexts, and how these relate to modes of being a learner in these contexts, with specific focus on learners’ flexible ways of discerning parts and delimiting wholes, and how they

Not all areas in value theory are battlegrounds. We find, for instance, a strong consensus when it comes to whether or not values are so-called supervenient properties, i.e., properties that accrue to the value bearer in virtue of some or all of its other kinds of (subvenient) properties. These ‘other properties’ are often assumed to belong (at least at some basic level) to the object’s so-called
