Abstract:

Every day we use actions, gestures and words to interact with other people and with the environment. Being able to understand peopleâ€™s movements and communicative intentions is critical to our ability to act successfully in the world. Here we present three studies aiming at investigating the relationship between actions, gestures and words in the brain. In the first study we described and offer a standardized data set of 230 well-controlled stimuli of meaningful (pantomimes and emblems) and meaningless gestures together with norms, with the aim of promoting replicability between studies.

Abstract:

Idag använder spelindustrin flertalet metoder för att leda spelare igenom spel som färg- och ljussättning och användandet av former. Denna uppsats fokuserar på det sist nämnda och försöker besvara frågan: I valet mellan simpla symboler, finns det en specifik symbol som spelare föredrar att följa och vad assosierar de med denna symbol? För att besvara denna fråga skapades ett test som undersökte spelares val då de presenterades för tre symboler, en cirkel, en triangle och en fyrkant. Testet var en spelprototyp som bestod av en korridor, vilket var spelets inlärnings område, och ett rum med tre

Abstract:

The importance of the Hittites derives from the fact that they were an organized central power extending over a large territory within which a number of societies maintained their language, culture and traditions. The archaeological findings of Hattusha, the Hittite capital reveal that the city had reached its maximum limits during the Great Kingdom period and the most magnificient and monumental buildings of the city are dated to this period.

Abstract:

Humans readily infer the meanings of novel symbols in communicative contexts of varying complexity, and several researchers in the field of language evolution have explicitly acknowledged that inference plays a key role in accounting for the evolution of symbolic communication. However, in this field at least, there has been very little investigation into the nature of inference in this regard. That is, evolutionary linguists have yet to address the following questions if we are to have a fuller picture of how humans came to communicate symbolically: 1. What kinds of inference are there?

Abstract:

Cultural practices are maintained by passing knowledge down throughout the generations, yet they also are simultaneously in a process of transition. Influenced by societal requirements, specific aspects of culture are taught and learned. Over time, some qualities are altered, adapted, dismissed, or are auxiliary to the creation of new practices. A prime example of this process is Japanese culture and its symbolic meanings in relation to Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples; milieus which are sacred spaces that contain polysemic modes of symbolic expression.

How can a past that is evidenced only by its traces be read within a landscape context by disciplines of knowledge production?

In order to drive sustainable financial profitability, service firms make significant investments in creating service environments that consumers will prefer over the environments of their competitors.
