Sambandet mellan hög studiebakgrund och högt resultat på läsförståelsetest ? finns det?Hur ser det i så fall ut i förhållande till metakognition vid läsning? Dessa frågor är centrala i den här uppsatsen som berör grundläggande svenska som andraspråk för vuxna. Genom kvantitativ metod bestående av en enkät och ett läsförståelsetest har ett eventuellt samband mellan hög metakognitiv medvetenhet vid läsning och högt resultat pa? läsförståelsetest undersökts. Därutöver har även huruvida studiebakgrunden påverkar metakognitionen och läsförståelse kontrollerats.Resultatet visar att det inte går att statistiskt säkerställa ett samband mellan hög metakognitiv medvetenhet och högt resultat på läsförståelsetest, detta oavsett studiebakgrund.

Background: Sleep-disturbances in persons with Alzheimer´s disease are prevalent. They are characterized as increased frequency and duration of awakenings, decreased slow-wave sleep, REM-sleep and increase of day-time napping. Depression and lower quality of life are associated with sleep-disturbances. Altogether a significant source of stress for caregivers and an important factor in institutionalization. Non-pharmacological treatment alternatives are rare.Method: Single-case A-B-C design, with non-concurrent multiple baselines, a pilotstudy.Aim: To explore if an educational program on sleep, sleep disturbances and behavioural change directed towards caregivers improved sleep, depression and quality of life in persons with Alzheimer´s disease living at home.

The purpose of this essay is to explore how social media affect the political orientation and commitment of youths. Three scientific questions highlight the purpose from different angles. The didactic perspective is discussed in the initial and closing discussion, and is analyzed in the corresponding chapter. Two methods are involved in the study; one survey and one interview with a focus group. The survey had a total of 98 respondents from four different classes, all in the first grade of upper secondary school.

This major project in Building Engineering has its focus on inquiring into what methods has been used in the planning process of the residential buildingLjusbojen 1. This project has been conducted in cooperation with Kadesjös Ingenjörsbyrå AB, an engineering contractor firm which also acts as the property developer. Initially several different general methods for planning residential buildings have been presented. After the methods from the process of building Ljusbojen 1 has been analyzed compared to the general methods presented in part 1. This shows what the determining factors are during the planning process; factors such as cost, quality, time management, know-how and environmental issues.

Elever i a?rskurs fyra har blivit sa?mre pa? att la?sa faktatexter (PIRLS 2011 i Skolverket 2012). Mitt bakgrundsarbete syftade till att underso?ka vad det skulle kunna bero pa? och resultatet tydde pa? att sva?ra/nya begrepp i framfo?r allt geografi och biologi skulle kunna vara en bidragande faktor. Sa? mitt examensarbete kom att bli en studie i hur man kan presentera sva?ra/nya begrepp i ett la?romedel fo?r a?rskurs fyra.Jag har samarbetat med Natur & Kultur och har da?rfo?r utga?tt ifra?n och arbetat med la?romedelsbo?ckerna PULS SO-boken Grundbok och PULS Geografi Sverige Grundbok.Jag har anva?nt mig av tre metoder och dessa a?r kvalitativ intervju, textanalys och litteraturstudier.

Uppsatsen behandlar fra?gan om musiklekens betydelse fo?r de yngsta barnen (1-3 a?r) i fo?rskolan. I just denna ma?lgrupp a?r gra?nserna fo?r omsorg, lek och la?rande ta?mligen flytande. Den svenska fo?rskolan har en la?ng tradition av att anva?nda sig av musikaliska aktiviteter i verksamheten vilka kan uppfattas som tagna fo?r givna.

Syftet med studien a?r att belysa hur elever med specifika la?s- och skrivsva?righeter/dyslexi upplever sina mo?jligheter att utveckla en sja?lvka?nnedom kring sitt eget la?rande. Studien har genomfo?rts som en kvalitativ studie da?r totalt sex ungdomar fra?n tre olika skolor har intervjuats. Tre av dem a?r elever pa? ho?gstadiet och tre pa? gymnasiet.

This report evaluates whether an interpreted high-level garbage collected language has enough information about its memory behaviour to make better cache decisions than modern general CPU hardware.With a generational garbage collector, depending on promotion algorithm and generation size, around 90% of all objects never leave the first generation. This report is based on the hypothesis that, because of the low promotion rate, accesses to higher generations are sufficiently rare not to benefit from caching.To test this hypothesis, we built an operating system with a Scheme interpreter in kernel mode, where the interpreter controls the cache. Generic x86 PC hardware was used, since it allows fine-grained control of cache decisions.Measurements of execution time in this interpreter show that disabling the cache for generations higher than the first does not give any performance gain, but rather a performance loss of up to 50%.We conclude that this interpreter design is not an improvement, but cannot conclude that the hypothesis is false in general. We suggest building a better CPU simulator to gather more data from which to make better caching decisions, moving internal interpreter data structures into the garbage collected heap and modifying the hardware to allow control in the currently rigid dimension of where data is cached---for example separate control of instruction and data caches and separate data caches for different areas of memory..

The purpose of this study is to investigate a group of female converters and their subsequent experiences when transitioning to islam by bearing hijab. The study analyzes how this religious conversion has shaped and influenced the identity of mentioned women, as well as their attitude and relationship to the social environment prior to and after converting. This means that in accordance with the purpose of this study, an attempt to reveal the everyday life of these women will be performed. In order to make this study possible, three different methods will be put to use. A narrative method that touches upon the time leading up to and after the final converting and the impact of the conversion.

Slutsats: En ovilja att reflektera kring pedagogiska fra?gor a?r inte ha?llbar i dagens skola.

Skin temperature is detected through signals in unmyelinated C-fibers and thin myelinated A?-fibers in the peripheral and central nervous system. Disorders in thin nerve fibres are important and not rare but difficult to diagnose by the most common neurophysiological methods. In this pilot study different methods for quantitative sensory testing, QST, were compared to give some ideas about which method could be the most efficient to use in order to point out injuries of the sensory system in clinical practice. The comparison was made between Békésy (separate warmand cold thresholds) and Marstock test (combined warm and cold thresholds).
