With roots in social psychology, second language (L2) motivation has largely been investigated using self-report techniques. Studies drawing on observational data gathered in contexts where learning takes place are rare, and understandings of how motivation evolves in classroom interactions remain limited (Boo, Dörnyei, & Ryan, 2015). In a position paper in Language Teaching, Ushioda (2016) ma
Why is theorizing important? What does it do? This note reflects on the broad question of what we do when we theorize, taking its starting point from the Greek notion of theoria. The argument is that theorizing as an uncertain journey, i.e. as a form of travelling along a path towards the unknown or unfamiliar, has unjustly fallen into disrepute. The notion of ‘theory’ is today primarily associate
The aim of this paper is to discuss the unexploited forces of user-orientation and shared responsibility to promote sustainable value co-creation during service innovation projects in welfare service ecosystems. The framework is based on the theoretical field of public service logic (PSL) and our thesis is that service innovation seriously requires a user-oriented approach, and that such an approa
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key enabler for future 6G networks. Currently, related architecture works propose AI-based applications and network services that are dedicated to specific tasks (e.g., improving the performance of RAN with AI). These proposed architectures offer a unique way to collect data, process it, and extract features from data for each AI-based application. However, this d
In the context of an infrastructure project UAV-electromagnetic measurements at five areas in southern parts of Sweden are conducted to study the variation of depth to the bedrock. The source signals are the distant radio transmitters in the band 15-350 kHz. The example shown in this work is from Area 5 where the underlying bedrock is a gneissic granite with reasonably high resistivity. The resist
A new model for the estimation of the QT-RR adaptation time lag using exercise ECG stress testing has been proposed, assuming a linear heart rate trend during the test. In this work, simulated ECGs have been generated based on heart rate patterns with oscillations at different frequencies to demonstrate that the assumption can be relaxed so that the QTRR adaptation time lag can be adequately estim
In this paper, we discuss the pedagogical concepts of socialisation and uncoverage and the theoretical perspective of metanarratives on history and historical concepts as tools to integrate the students of the online Master’s programme Religious Roots of Europe into the practice of the historical study of religion. We describe how we worked in facilitating the typical learning processes and social
Organ donation is a crucial aspect of healthcare, yet, the number of donors is insufficient to cover the demand for transplant procedures. In the European Union, around 15 people die each day waiting for a life-saving organ. National policies differ greatly among countries, but it is unclear how successful policies affect Deceased Organ Donation when introduced in other settings. This paper explor
This project focus on mouthfeel and textures within food area and try to connect it with emotion. The concept is inspired from space and Mars exploration in food related topics. Developing with experiments and coming up with a set of emotions outlet tools for not only eating but exploring your mouth. There are tons of product in markets that focus on only getting food from plate to mouth. However,
Musikbranchen och högre musikutbildningar är ojämställda i förhållande till kön. Syftet med denna undersökning är att ta reda på hur musiklärare kan jobba för att ge pojkar och flickor samma möjligheter att utvecklas musikaliskt. Metoden som använts är kvalitativ forskningsintervju. Intervjuerna visade att om instrumentfördelningen ska bli jämställd ur ett könsperspektiv behöver en som lärare styrThe music business and higher music educations are uneven in relation to gender. The purpose with this study is to find out how music teachers can work to create an education where all students have the same opportunities to learn and evolve. The method used is qualitative research interview. The interviews showed that if the instrument distribution in a class is to be equal by gender, the teacher
Detta examensarbete är en utvärdering av möjligheter och projektrisker i ett samarbete inlett mellan E.ON Sverige AB, ABB AB och Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson. Syftet med det branschöverskridande samarbetet är att utveckla smarta energilösningar och det har även inlett ett pilotprojekt inom området kommersiella fastigheter. Examensarbetets syfte var att analysera och bedöma hur möjligheter och
The Brussels Agreement signed on April 19th 2013 has been described as a historical deal on the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia. The agreement relates to questions of how to integrate the Kosovo Serb minority in Kosovo. The answer is decentralization. However are the intentions of decentralization to truly integrate the Kosovo Serb? And why has the agreement received so much r
Under mina år som fagottist så har jag de senaste fyra fem åren brottats med smärtor i framför allt min vänstra arm och axel. Skadorna uppstod av dålig hållning och spändhet som i sin tur ledde till överbelastning utav muskler. Vad finns det för metoder för att få bukt på smärtproblematik för mig som fagottist? Det här är den beskrivande delen av mitt examensarbete som handlar om hur jag under min
According to researches, China is aging faster than any other country in history. Meanwhile, China has been a country with a close-family-ties-tradition for over thousand years. However, as the family structures are getting smaller, people’s lifestyle is also changing over time. Nowadays, the word ‘a distance of a bowl of soup’ is quite popular in between all generations. It represents an ideal wa
Hjärnans informationsbearbetning efter stroke Du drar ditt finger över mobilskärmen, lägger kort märke till glasytans känsla och sedan förflyttas ditt fokus till skärmen. Men hur möjliggör hjärnan denna känselupplevelse? Och vad händer när hjärnan inte längre fungerar som den ska? Hur hjärnan bearbetar den stora mängd information den konstant mottar är fortfarande till stora delar okänt. Att veta How the brain processes all the incoming information it receives is still an unanswered question, and many different theories about how it is done exist. This thesis expands on one of these theories which views the brain's information processing as a widely distributed network phenomena, which contradicts the currently most popular hierarchical theory consisting of areas dedicated to processin
This Master Thesis is an evaluation of the certification on ISO 14001 in Skanska Väg, region syd. The purpose is to answer if Skanska Väg has succeeded to carry the understanding and the engagement into effect through the hole company. The study gives some suggestions to improvements or redistribution of resources when introducing Environmental Management Systems (EMS), but also illuminates the pr
