This study investigates whether Swedish students, at two different levels of study, are able to distinguish between ‘it’ and ‘there’ when using the two as dummy subjects. This particular feature was chosen since previous research (e.g. Estling- Vannestål, 2007; Köhlmyr, 2003; Davidsen-Nilsen & Harder, 2001 ) has shown that Swedish students tend to overuse ‘it’ in such constructions: something
Klimatmönstren världen över förändras och med dessa den globala distributionen och mängden av landbundet kol, dvs vegetationen som bland annat nyttjas som mat och fiber. Också I sig självt en viktig faktor i klimatets utveckling genom dess roll i energi- och vattenkretsloppen. Vetskap om kvantitet och distribution av landbundet kol och hur detta förändras är en viktigt del av arbetet i att förstå The climatic patterns of the world are changing and with them the spatial distribution of global terrestrial carbon; the food and fiber of the world and in itself an important factor in the changing climate. Knowledge of how the terrestrial carbon stock is changing, its distribution and quantity, is important in understanding how the patterns of the world are changing and large scale models using
Traditional cognitive psychology relies on concepts bordering idealism, an issue that has been known since the end of the 19th century. At best, the underlying assumptions are misleading and do not bring us closer to an understanding of human enterprise. Also, psychology in general is not a unified paradigm; its sub-disciplines rely on different conceptual bases. Ecological Psychology can change t
This essay analyses the novel After Dark, written by Japanese author Haruki Murakami. It examines, from a Foucaultian perspective, how the novel presents a modern panoptic society.

The Chinese characters are one of the world’s oldest scripts still in use today. They developed from inscriptions on animal bones into standardised logograms, to ultimately become the simplified characters used in China today. Throughout the history, written Chinese has served as a unifying force, bringing the various linguistic groups within China together. Thanks to the continuous use of charact
This study focuses on 6th grade Swedish teachers’ self-efficacy in the grading procedure, hypothesizing that high versus low self-efficacy will have an impact on the grade the teacher give an authentic short story. A total of 34 teachers answered the survey and the results showed that the teachers were inconclusive in their grading of the short story, and that self-efficacy and attitude towards th

Informationssystem är idag i princip ett oumbärlig hjälpmedel för de allra flesta företag och det finns flera olika källor och teorier som behandlar frågan om hur företag bäst lyckas med implementeringen av ett informationssystem. Det finns dock betydligt mindre dokumentation vad det gäller system som redan är i drift och hur de bör hanteras, särskilt när det kommer till små och medelstora företag
This essay explores four different aesthetic qualities (beautiful, ugly, soothing, irritating) on twoand- a-half dozen different phones as perceived by native speakers of English.

Using fixed effect estimator, the model makes an explicit differentiation be

The purpose of the study was to explore and gain more knowledge and understanding of the role the social network played for an individual, living a sober life. Furthermore, how “sober alcoholics” find themselves in the community, where alcohol consumption is widely accepted in different social contexts and whe

Due to the possibility of nanotechnology becoming the next general purpose technology, generating considerable socio-economic benefits, it has become popular with policy-makers and academics around the world, and led to massive investments in national R&D programmes. While in some cases nanotechnology is still in its early stages of research, in many others it has already resulted in innovatio
