The relationship between morality and perceptual defense mechanisms was studied. Three new scales were constructed to measure different aspects of morality: moralism (the tendency to evaluate everything in terms of right and wrong), conscience (strength of feelings of right and wrong) and reparation (inclination to repair the damage one has caused). Perceptual defense mechanisms were measured with
In hepatocytes from fed rats, ethanol significantly increased fatty acid esterification but had little effect on fatty acid oxidation.
An analytical model is developed to calculate recession distance and eroded volume for coastal dunes during severe storms. The transport relationship used in the model is based on wave impact theory, where individual swash waves hitting the dune face induce the erosion. Combining this relationship with the sediment volume conservation equation describes the response of the dune to high waves and w
The aim of this study is to try and explain the relationship between violence and the changes taking place in social spaces. Violence, in all its dimensions, has taken a central place in Latin American social life and has become an almost totally private issue. This implies a series of spatial and social transformations in the cities. The new effects of violence influence social and ethnic segrega
The thesis deals mainly with offshore engineering related problems where the dominant source of uncertainty is related to the loading. Loads arise from environmental random processes; e.g. waves, currents and winds. Complex as they are, such processes beg the consideration of randomness whence the need of associating probabilistic models to the engineering problems treated here. Two different typ
High spin states in 76Rb were investigated via the reaction 40Ca(40Ca,3pn)76Rb at 128 MeV. The level scheme was established from γγ, γγγ and recoil-γ coincidences measured in the EUROGAM I array in combination with the Daresbury recoil separator. The known rotational bands were extended up to the excitation energy Ex≊9.2 MeV and spins Iπ=(21+) and (19-). The band head energies could be fixed by ma
Denna rapport sammanfattar och reflekterar över lärdomar från tolv Balanced Scorecard projekt. Rapporten skall i första hand läsas som ett bidrag till diskussionen om relevansen av Balanced Scorecard i utvecklingen av kommunala sektorns styrsystem. Vad som förmedlas är en illustration av och reflektion över styrmodellens förtjänster och till¬korta¬kommanden. Rapporten är ett resultat av ett utvec
HARDWARE TESTING is commonly used to check whether faults exist in a digital system. Much research has been devoted to the development of advanced hardware testing techniques and methods to support design for testability (DFT). However, most existing DFT methods deal only with testability issues at low abstraction levels, while new modelling and design techniques have been developed for design at
Participants tend to falsely remember a nonpresented critical word after having studied a list of the word's primary associates. We present here a Swedish version of the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm, which provides a tractable method of experimentally inducing and investigating such illusory memories. In Experiment 1 it was demonstrated that the constructed stimulus material induced highly re
Popular Abstract in Swedish Många har fascinerats av det mystiska Mayafolket som byggde fantastiska städer med tempelpyramider, astronomiska observatorier och bollplaner djupt inne i djungeln i Guatemala och Mexiko. Vilka var de som utvecklade denna högkultur med hieroglyfer och avancerade kalendrar? Denna avhandling presenterar Mayaindianernas religion och historia. Frågor som söker sina svar är This thesis deals with Maya religion and history. The Books of Chilam Balam is the collective title of a body of texts ascribed to the Jaguar Prophet. They are written in the Yucatec Maya language, and tell the reader about Yucatec Maya cosmology, rituals, prophecies, calendars, medicine and they are as well considered as Yucatec Maya emic historiography. These manuscripts are considered enigmatic
