Abstract. In two experiments with Norwegian undergraduates and one experiment with US undergraduates, we examined the potential effects of brief task instructions aligned with incremental and entity views of intelligence on students’ performance on a rational thinking task. The research demonstrated that even brief one-shot task instructions that deliver a mindset about intelligence intervention can be powerful enough to affect students’ performance on such a task. This was only true for Norwegian male students, however. Moreover, it was the task instruction aligned with an entity theory of intelligence that positively affected Norwegian male students’ performance on the rational thinking task, with this unanticipated finding speaking to the context- and culture-specificity of implicit theories of intelligence interventions.

Abstract:A pharmacokinetic database was constructed that is as free of errors as possible. Pharmacokinetic parameters were derived from the literature using a text-processing system and a database system. A random data sample from each system was compared with the original literature. The estimated error frequencies using statistical methods differed significantly between the two systems. The estimated error frequency in the text-processing system was 7.2%, that in the database system 2.7%. Compared with the original values in the literature, the estimated probability of error for identical pharmacokinetic parameters recorded in both systems is 2.4% and is not significantly different from the error frequency in the database. Parallel data entry with a text-processing system and a database system is, therefore, not significantly better than structured data entry for reducing the error frequency.

"The Theatrical Potential in David Foenkinos’ Work. Analysis of the Novel, the Scenario and the Film “La Délicatesse”. Our interest, especially when it comes to the subject of literature, is to show the manner in which the text processing done by the author (script writer/director) brings to light the guidelines of the novelistic text’s semantics, which under careful analysis reveals a kind of personal myth of the novelist. The skewed, syncopated, interrupted writing which disrupts the chronotope serves the needs of the script as well as the director’s selective vision. Unconsciously, the novel seems to follow the structure of the theatrical model. These traits can also be found in the cinematographic structure of the film. Keywords: love, eroticism, delicacy, theatricality, scenario, film. "
