Abstract:

The real estate industry is facing a major change. The activity based working is promoted heavily by real estate companies, brokers and consultants as the future workplace. Knowledge and information is however limited. Many concepts have a tendency to get mixed up when companies on the market choose to formulate their own concepts. The research is neglected, and more focused on health and design. This thesis focuses on describing how the market may evolve the knowledge and how to implement the activity based working in the workplaces.

Abstract:

<p> The neural substrate of interactions of working memory (WM) with socio-emotional processing is poorly understood in schizophrenia. This study builds on published papers using a delayed match to sample design to study the interaction of WM load with type of distracter (socially relevant faces vs. socially irrelevant geometric designs [FvG]) presented briefly during the WM maintenance period. Based on previously published findings, we hypothesize: (1) The FvG difference in brain activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in the task maintenance period will be largest at the high

Abstract:

Background: Habitual levels of moderate to vigorous levels of physical activity (MVPA) levels are associated with positive health outcomes and improvement in cognitive function. A challenge facing optimal health outcomes is determining optimal levels of physical activity levels; people can engage in extreme sedentary or high levels of physical activity. For example, levels of low physical activity and participation in ultra-endurance events are increasing. However, the impact of extreme physical activity levels on brain matter volume and working memory is not well understood. This thesis thus

Abstract:

In this paper, binaural beats were used as stimuli to induce Gamma neural activity in the brains of 18 participants with the purpose to see if the effect enhanced memory and/or speech perception. Participants conducted a word-list recall task, followed by a speech-in-noise task under three conditions: before Gamma stimulus, after Gamma stimulus, and after a placebo stimulus. The results showed that the method works to boost Gamma neural activity, but that neither memory nor speech-perception was significantly affected by the stimulus. The conclusion is that binaural beats is unreliable as a me

Abstract:

Segmentational grouping in music listening refers to the organisation of individual tones into tone groups that tend to be processed and subsequently recalled as perceptual units or chunks. Grouping of tones via this process tends to occur at natural breaks in structure of a tone sequence, so that relatively larger changes in pitch, amplitude or timing are perceived as boundaries which cue the segmentational grouping process. Segmentational grouping processes have been examined using behavioural research techniques; yet neurophysiological processes underlying the grouping process have received

Low levels of exercise adherence has contributed to the increased prevalence of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes in American women. These low levels, coupled with high exercise program dropout rates, point to a need for strategies to increase exercise frequency in women who exercise, but not enough to improve their health and reduce risks. Real-time interventions, such as text messaging, could be useful in improving the cognitions that regulate adherence.

Abstract:

Many organisations have moved into an activity based workplace (ABW), and this have led to great changes for the employees’ ways of working. The workplace is supposed to provide with different workstations/environments for the employees, where they can choose the environment that best suits their task at hand, such as concentration areas or open space. This means that the employees do not have assigned seats, and they are free to choose between different workstations. The ABW is supposed to improve factors such as collaboration, satisfaction, flexibility and productivity. In order for the empl

ABW is a phenomenon in office design and management. From a physical perspective, it discards private offices, desks and desktop computers assigned for individual’s permanent use (Parker, 2016). Instead, the office space is rearranged with various areas tailored for different work tasks, such as hubs for teamwork, meeting areas, cubicles, phone booths, workshop areas and more (Parker, 2016; Ditchburn, 2014).

Abstract:

The dorsal dentate gyrus (DDG) of the hippocampus plays a role in the expression of different forms of flexible behaviour mainly due to its ability to sustain neurogenesis throughout life. In the present thesis, we examined the role that the DDG and its adjacent areas, both collectively referred to as dorsal medial hippocampus (DMH), play in flexible, adaptive behaviour and cognitive processing. We used the neurotoxin, colchicine, to induce lesions of the DDG, which were found to affect neighbouring areas. Thus these lesions will be referred to as lesions of the DMH. In the first experiment, r

Abstract:

Introduction. The physical health benefits of sitting less and being more active are well documented. However, little is known about how sedentary behavior patterns, alone or in combination with physical activity, influence cognitive outcomes. In young university adults (i.e. 18-25 years old) an age group characterized by optimal cognitive functioning where academic achievement and cognitive control abilities are essential, research is even scarcer. In this context, this PhD thesis investigated the influence of sedentary behavior and physical activity on cognitive outcomes (working memor

Abstract:

This systematic review of literature explores the factors that facilitate professionals in working together to support vulnerable children and their families. Consideration is also given to factors which pose a barrier to effective multi-agency working. The review focuses on bringing together qualitative and quantitative data from a range of studies exploring a variety of established multiagency teams and community-wide projects in the UK and USA; a total of eight studies were included for in-depth review. Studies included for review investigated issues relating to professional working practic

Full text

Abstract:

Physical activity has a well understood set of benefits. UK leisure time physical activity (LTPA) is socially patterned, with lower socio-economic groups participating less. There is evidence from the literature that in addition to structural causes, there may be a ‘working class’ worldview of LTPA, which strongly influences their lack of participation. Thus, a theoretical approach for social marketers is advocated based on class culture. This approach, which centres on Bourdieu’s habitus, views problem behaviours in terms of class-based dispositions rather than individualistic intention, atti

Abstract:

One of the most common office designs is the traditional office. As the technology has developed, it has enabled a new office design to evolve, the activity-based office. The activity-based office is more flexible and the employees get greater freedom in terms of being able to decide where, when and how they want to perform their tasks. As the employees work largely independently and take own responsibility for their tasks, the leader has reduced control compared to the traditional office. To get a well-functioning activity-based workplace, trust must be created between the leader and employee

Depuis plus d'un siècle, les neuroscientifiques considèrent la mémoire de travail comme liée à la conscience, les deux fonctions ayant des caractéristiques et des mécanismes cérébraux similaires. Des travaux récents remettent en question cette interprétation en démontrant que des informations non-conscientes peuvent affecter le comportement pendant plusieurs secondes (« vision aveugle »), et suggérant qu'il existe un véritable système de mémoire de travail non-conscient.

Abstract:

There is a growing consensus, based on several converging lines of evidence, which suggests schizophrenia is the product of a developmental insult occurring in the late 2 nd or early 3 rd trimester. Additionally, it has been observed that adults who abuse the noncompetitive NMDA antagonist PCP present with symptoms that mimic schizophrenia, such as hallucinations, formal thought disorder, delusions, unstable or flattened affect, social withdrawal, and impaired cognition. Thus, several labs have attempted to use early postnatal PCP administration in rodents as a drug model of schizophrenia. The

Abstract:

The fact that every organization is confronted with errors necessitates a thorough understanding of the factors that encourage employees to engage in behaviors that promote learning from errors. Putting reflective activity and two types of feedback seeking into the center of attention, this study addresses the question of whether perceived psychological safety indirectly relates to these behaviors through error orientation. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted on a convenience sample of 154 German and Swedish working students. Participants completed an online survey of their perception
