Teacher views on translanguaging practices and teaching methods for vocabulary teaching – A qualitative study of four Swedish upper secondary school teachers of English

This essay explores four English teachers’ views on their methods of teaching vocabulary, as well as the incorporation of translanguaging in their teaching of English vocabulary. The study investigates what the teachers’ preferred methods of teaching vocabulary are and whether they rely more on implicit or explicit vocabulary teaching. Furthermore, the study explores if the participating teachers

The Class of Us: A Study Across Several Schools in Sweden Comparing the EFL Comprehension of Playing the Video Game The Last of Us Versus Viewing the Television Adaptation

Contemporary English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms in upper secondary schools in Sweden make frequent use of receptive media such as movies and television to facilitate language learning. The more interactive medium of video games is seldom used for the same purpose, despite previous research indicating that the added layer of interactivity can bring benefits such as improvements to vocab

Galendansaren. : Birger Sjöbergs postuma teter som sångcykel och teaterföreställning.

I vår tid kämpar många med att uttrycka sig konstnärligt och få bekräftelse för detta i offentligheten. Så var det också för författaren och visartisten Birger Sjöberg. I början av 1920-talet gjorde han succé med sina sorglustiga och egensinniga sånger om Frida och med romanen Kvartetten som sprängdes.Birger Sjöberg var under ett par år en av den svenska borgerlighetens stora underhållare. Men när

Previous negative experiences of healthcare reported by Swedish pregnant women with fear of birth - A mixed method study

Background: Negative encounters in healthcare might affect women's health. During their reproductive life span, women are exposed to various health examinations, and have reported disrespectful care and obstetric violence. Such experiences might be a basis for fear of birth. Aim: to explore and describe the prevalence, associated factors and experiences of previous negative healthcare encounters i

Study protocol of the InterVitaminK trial : A Danish population-based randomised double-blinded placebo-controlled trial of the effects of vitamin K (menaquinone-7) supplementation on cardiovascular, metabolic and bone health

Introduction Vitamin K has been suggested to have protective effects against progression of vascular calcification and development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, few well-powered randomised controlled trials have examined whether vitamin K prevents progression of vascular calcification in individuals from the general population. The aim of the InterVitaminK trial is to investigate the e

Birthweight is associated with clinical characteristics in people with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes

Aims/hypothesis: Low birthweight is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes but it is unknown whether low birthweight is associated with distinct clinical characteristics at disease onset. We examined whether a lower or higher birthweight in type 2 diabetes is associated with clinically relevant characteristics at disease onset. Methods: Midwife records were traced for 6866 individuals with type 2 diabe

Left atrial dyssynchrony in veteran endurance athletes with and without paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Background: Prolonged endurance exercise increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in men. Functional parameters may help separate physiological from pathological atrial remodeling in athletes. LA mechanical dispersion (LA MD) is associated with AF in the general population, but the associations between prolonged exercise, LA MD and AF are not known. Purpose: To describe LA MD in veteran athle

Deep Learning Based Out-of-focus Detection on Surveillance Footage

Loss of focus in surveillance cameras can occur due to factors such as environmental aspects, sabotage or system errors. The focus loss leads to degraded footage that is of no use for either post-investigation or automatic video analysis. It is therefore of the utmost importance to provide an automatic detection system in order to resolve the issue as fast as possible. The most popular approach

Cone dystrophy associated with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1

To report the association of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1 (APS1) with cone dystrophy in a large Saudi family. This is a Retrospective chart review and prospective genetic testing and ophthalmic examination of a large multiplex consanguineous family. Genetic testing was performed on 14 family members, seven of whom had detailed ophthalmic examinations. Medical history, ocular history an

Navigating the labyrinth : A guide to sequence-based, community ecology of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Data generated from next generation sequencing (NGS) will soon comprise the majority of information about arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities. Although these approaches give deeper insight, analysing NGS data involves decisions that can significantly affect results and conclusions. This is particularly true for AMF community studies, because much remains to be known about their basic b

Catalysts effects on the production of carbon nanotubes by an automatic arc discharge set up in solution

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) represent an important group of nanomaterials with attractive geometrical, electrical and chemical properties and are synthesized using a variety of techniques. CNTs have been extensively studied in our previous works and in this study were fabricated by arc discharge full automatic set up in liquid which does not require vacuum equipment, heat exchange system, active or in

Sex-related differences in neuromuscular control : Implications for injury mechanisms or healthy stabilisation strategies?

Sex-related differences in neuromuscular activation have been previously identified and are thought to be an underlying contributor to the ACL injury mechanism. During dynamic tasks evaluating the role of muscle action as it relates to joint stability is difficult since individual muscle contributions to force generation are confounded by biomechanical factors of movement. The purpose of this stud

A contrast variation SANS and SAXS study of soil derived dissolved organic matter, and its interactions with hematite nanoparticles

Soil derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important component of the carbon cycle and influences numerous biogeochemical processes, including the formation of mineral-organic associations. DOM ranges in size from small organic molecules to macromolecules and colloidal aggregates. In this study we have used small angle neutron (SANS) and X-ray (SAXS) scattering to characterize the colloidal
