Comparing lexical transfer in second- and third language early vocabulary acquisition The present study compared 30 functional English monolinguals and 30 highly proficient (CEFR C1+) Swedish–English bilinguals. They acquired vocabulary in a pseudo-language derived from typologically unrelated Finnish. None of the participants had productive proficiency in Finnish although for societal reasons the
Background. There is increasing research to suggest that fears of, and resistances to, affiliative and positive emotions are linked to self-criticism and a range of psychopathologies. It is unclear how these fears and resistances are linked to each other and how these in turn are linked to psychological processes, such as abilities to be mindful and recognize and describe emotions. Objectives. Thi
Growing research focusing on the psychological reactions to terrorism by citizens finds that terrorist attacks perpetrated by individuals belonging to Muslim minorities increase nega- tive attitudes towards those perceived as the ”outgroup”, and especially immigrants and refugees. However, few attempts have been made so far to assess the short-term impact of these attacks. While we know that immed
Hybridization is a natural process at species range boundaries, but increasing numbers of species are hybridizing due to direct or indirect human activities. In such cases of anthropogenic hybridization, subsequent introgression can threaten the survival of native species. To date, many such systems have been studied with too few genetic markers to assess the level of threat resulting from advance
Background and aims: Obesity is on the rise globally, and is a leading risk factor for T2D. However, it is very heterogeneous, with varying degrees of T2D risk within the same levels of BMI. Better classification may lead to improve outcomes of current preventive and therapeutic strategies. Moreover, by elucidating the mechanisms uncoupling obesity from T2D risk, new possible therapeutic targets m
An interesting class of non-Gaussian stationary processes is obtained when in the harmonics of a signal with random amplitudes and phases, one allows also for frequencies to vary randomly. In the resulting models, the statistical distribution of frequencies determines the process spectrum while the distribution of amplitudes governs the process distributional properties. Since decoupling the distr
The Cenozoic Himalaya-Tibet orogen is generally regarded as the archetypal continental collision zone and is often used as an analogue for interpreting ancient orogenic events. However, given the wide diversity observed in present-day collisional mountain belts, the extent to which such inferences can be made remains debated. In this Review, we compare the metamorphic and magmatic record of the Hi
Much of biology happens at the protein-water interface, so all dynamical processes in this region are of fundamental importance. Local structural fluctuations in the hydration layer can be probed by 17O magnetic relaxation dispersion (MRD), which, at high frequencies, measures the integral of a biaxial rotational time correlation function (TCF) - the integral rotational correlation time. Numerous
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to report a case study that qualitatively describes and analyses teachers’ discussions when planning and evaluating lessons under supervision, and what is described is the focus on their reasoning, the activities decided upon and how they decided to assess the pupils’ learning outcomes when transforming formal curriculum objectives for English as a foreign la
Aims. DE Boo is a unique system, with an edge-on view through the debris disk around the star. The disk, which is analogous to the Kuiper belt in the Solar System, was reported to extend from 74 to 84 AU from the central star. The high photometric precision of the Characterising Exoplanet Satellite (CHEOPS) provided an exceptional opportunity to observe small variations in the light curve due to t
Over the last 50 years, there has been significant development of qualitative research and related methods in healthcare. Theoretical frameworks support researchers in selecting appropriate research approaches, procedures and analytical tools. However, the implications of the choice of theory are sparsely elucidated. Based on a text excerpt from a public debate article, the study aimed to show how
Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc), an autosomal recessive disorder, is associated with cognitive and behavioral abnormalities. Previous studies were focused around exploring the functional annotation of VPS13A gene in ChAc, whereas the genetic labyrinth underlying this disease and plausible drug targets were underexplored. In the present study, we have identified the pivotal genes and molecular pathway
The role of startups in today’s economy grows increasingly more important while more and more companies engage in open source software (OSS) development. Both startups and open source projects are sources of, and rely on, innovation. As startups are typically very resource constrained and open source potentially offers low cost labour and innovation sources; the intersection of startups and OSS is
Syftet med studien var att undersöka om poliser som exponerats för hot och våld i yrket hade en högre grad av Posttraumatic Growth, PTG. Studien fokuserade på att mäta PTG i relation till hot och våld på följande parametrar; psykologisk hantering, reaktioner i form av hur rädda de kände sig i dag och psykisk påverkan. Respondenterna var 42 poliser från Skåneregionen. Åldrarna varierade från 26 tilThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether police officers who have been exposed to threats and violence in their profession have a higher degree of Posttraumatic Growth, PTG. PTG was measured in relation to threats and violence on the following parameters; psychological management, reactions which included current feelings of threat/anxiety and psychological influence. The respondents i
I artikel 1F flyktingkonventionen stadgas ett antal av de så kallade uteslutandeklausulerna från flyktingstatus, vilka utgör undantag från möjligheten att åtnjuta internationellt skydd för personer som uppfyller rekvisiten i flyktingdefinitionen. Artikeln utesluter asylsökande som misstänks för vissa grova brott, såsom krigsförbrytelser och brott mot mänskligheten, om det finns synnerligen anledniArticle 1F in the Refugee Convention constitutes one of the so called exclusions clauses from the possibility to be recognized as a refugee and hence obtain international protection. The Article excludes asylum seekers who are suspected for serious crimes, such as war crimes and crimes against humanity, if there are serious reasons for considering that the person has committed the alleged crime.

Brott, bedrägerier och andra oegentligheter, vilka riktar sig mot EU:s eko-nomiska intressen skadar allvarligt EU:s budget varje år. För att garantera ett bättre skydd för EU:s finanser framlade kommissionen i juli 2013 För-slag till Rådets förordning om inrättande av Europeiska åklagarmyndighe-ten . Myndigheten ska ha en exklusiv kompetens att utreda brott mot EU:s ekonomiska intressen över hela Fraud and other offences, aimed towards the financial interestets of the union, are seriously harming the union’s budget every year. To guarantee a better protection of the unions finances, the Commission put forward Pro-posal for a Council Regulation on the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office . The Office will have an exclusive competence to in-vestigate and prosecute crimina
Under min utbildning i musik och pedagogik har jag komponerat musik och därigenom utvecklat kunskaper i gehör, musikteori och komposition. Under mina kompositionsprocesser har jag stött på hinder och problem som ibland gjort att jag slutat att komponera. Med denna studie har jag konstruerat och skapat ett brädspel, Kompo, som verktyg för att komponera musik. När man spelar spelet resulterar detta During my education in music and pedagogy I have composed music, and through that developed my knowledge in ear, music theory and composition. During my composing processes I have sometimes stopped composing due to different obstacles. With this study, I have designed and created the board game Kompo as a tool for students to learn to compose music. The aim of this boardgame is that the players cr
This paper highlights the complexity and ambiguity regarding the phenomenon of so called honour-related violence and oppression and explores how these matters are taken into consideration in the field of social work. In order to explore this field of study we used qualitative research as the method of inquiry. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six female social workers working with pe
General Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPUs) have become the prevalent processor for AI/ML and other large computational problems because parallel processing has not reached a hardware limit, unlike single-threaded processing. The goal of the thesis is to investigate the suitability of a novel SRAM architecture for implementation in a GPU without extensive GPU architecture changes. This arch
