The keynote article by Titone & Tiv (2022) represents a key step forward in characterizing and quantifying bilingual experience, and how this may be leveraged to examine neurocognitive outcomes. The framework takes a novel multi-leveled approach to capturing and describing language experience. The first level handles the direct language use dynamics of a given individual or ego-driven language dynamics. ...

Background: Antibiotic resistance is a worldwide public health problem that is accelerated by the misuse and overuse of antibiotics. Studies have shown that audits and feedback enable clinicians to compare their personal clinical performance with that of their peers and are effective in reducing the inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics. However, privacy concerns make audits and feedback hard ...

The sustainable use of natural resources is critical for addressing the global challenges of today. Strategies for sustainable harvesting need to consider not only harvested species, but also other non-harvested species interacting with them in the same ecosystem. In addition, environmental variation needs to be considered, with climate change currently being one of the main sources of this ...

The Ionospheric Continuous-wave E region Bistatic Experimental Auroral Radar (ICEBEAR) has been reconfigured using a phase error minimization and stochastic antenna location perturbation technique. The resulting 45-baseline sparse non-uniform coplanar T-shaped array, ICEBEAR-3D, is used for aperture synthesis radar imaging of low elevation targets. The reconfigured receiver antenna array now has ...

Evaluating metagenomic software is key for optimizing metagenome interpretation and focus of the Initiative for the Critical Assessment of Metagenome Interpretation (CAMI). The CAMI II challenge engaged the community to assess methods on realistic and complex datasets with long- and short-read sequences, created computationally from around 1,700 new and known genomes, as well as 600 new plasmids ...

Truly transdisciplinary approaches are needed to tackle the complex problems that the Arctic is facing at the moment. Collaboration between Indigenous rights holders and researchers through co-creative research approaches can result in high-quality research outcomes, but crucially also address colonial legacies and power imbalances, enhance mutual trust, and respect the rights of Indigenous ...

Few-shot segmentation has in recent years gotten a lot of attention. The reason is its ability to segment images from classes based on only a handful of labeled support images. This opens up many possibilities when the need for a big dataset is removed. To do this a few-shot segmentation network need to extract as much quality information from each support image as possible. In this thesis we ...

It is well known that the similarities between L1 and L2 (also L3, etc.) facilitate language acquisition, whereas significant differences between them result in non-facilitating effects. These effects are known as Cross-Linguistic Influence (CLI). The main objective of the current study is to investigate the CLI, experienced by high proficient L2 English speakers when the grammatical aspect is being ...

Dette masterprosjektet er en kvalitativ intervjuundersøkelse som omhandler grunnskolelæreres tilrettelegging for samiske elever med internaliserte psykiske vansker. Datainnsamlingen er gjennomført ved semistrukturerte dybdeintervjuer. Prosjektet har videre en fenomenologisk vitenskapsteoretisk tilnærming, der meningsinnholdet i datamaterialet er analysert ved hjelp av systematisk tekstkondensering. ...

Forskning viser ingen sammenheng mellom dysleksi og IQ, samtidig er det en konsensus at elever med stort læringspotensial og læringsvansker eksisterer. I Norge er det ikke en tradisjon å identifisere styrker hos elever, og det blir opplevd som vanskelig å identifisere elever mer stort læringspotensial og dysleksi. Formålet med studien var å finne kunnskap og få en oversikt over temaet "identifisering ...
