This essay examines middle school students? understanding of a text read aloud to them in English and the connection between the degree of listening comprehension and the expected increase of vocabulary throughout middle school. The same listening comprehension test was carried out in grades 4, 5 and 6 in a middle school in order to survey differences in English listening comprehension in regard to the ability to reproduce the content of an oral text. The result shows that there was a progression from level to level when it comes to comprehension and the number of words reproduced and that this progression was most noticeable between grades 4 and 5..

The background to this thesis is the debate of the last decades within exegetics, concerning the so called "New Perspective on Paul". Starting from this discussion, the thesis is aming to investigateand discuss the function of Abraham in Paul's argument in Romans 4. This is achieved by, to start with, a thoroughly examination and analysis of different translations of Romans 4:1. Secondly, by trying how the translation suggested by Richard B. Hays can be motivated using a narrative perspective of interpretation emphazising the context of covenant history of the text, and thirdly, by examin and discuss other interpretations of the text and compare their ability to bring intelligibility to the text.

The amount of information stored on the internet grows daily and naturally the requirements on the systems used to search for and analyse information increases. As a part in meeting the raised requirements this study investigates if it is possible for a automatised text analysis system to distinguish certain groups and categories of words in a text, and more specifically investigate if it is possible to distinguish words with a high information value from words with a low information value. This is important to enable optimizations of systems for global surveillance and information retrieval. The study is carried out using word spaces, which are often used in text analysis to model language. The distributional character of certain categories of words is examined by studying the intrinsic dimensionality of the space, locally around different words.

Användningen av mobila enheter, det vill säga smarta mobiltelefoner och surfplattor ökar ständigt och det nya mediet ställer helt nya krav på användbarhet och användarvänlighet. Vi tror att personer med funktionsnedsättning glöms bort i de nya smarta enheterna och att tillgängligheten i dessa enheter inte prioriteras och utvecklas tillräckligt bra.Syftet med denna C-uppsats i informatik är att undersöka på vilket sätt röststyrning och text-till-tal i mobila enheter påverkar användbarheten, främst för personer med läs- och skrivsvårigheter men även generellt sett för alla typer av användare, och att belysa vilka problem och begränsningar som upplevs vid utveckling av röststyrningsapplikationer.För att undersöka detta utvecklade vi en applikation till Android-enheter som använde både röststyrning och text-till-tal-funktioner. Denna applikation gjorde vi sedan tester på för att besvara vår frågeställning och vårt syfte.Vi fann att utvecklingen av en ständigt lyssnande applikation var svårare än vad vi först trodde och att utveckling för Android inte hade stöd för ljudigenkänning. Den röststyrning som fanns som stöd var en serverbaserad ord-igenkännare som försökte tolka ljudinmatningen till ett eller flera ord. Med lite brytning eller dialekt var risken för feltolkning stor.Vår slutsats blev att röststyrning och text-till-tal till viss grad ökar användbarheten för personer med läs- och skrivsvårigheter.

The main purpose of this thesis is to discuss what exile writing is and who can be seen as an exile writer. If the word ?exile? is related to forced dislocation, like Paul Tabori and Sopia A. McClennen describes it, who can be viewed as an exile writer? Is Anders Olsson?s definition of an exile writer acceptable or not? Could the The Escape, a future story about exiled Northern Europeans in Myanmar, be classified as exile literature?Another purpose with this text is to describe how a story about exile can be made realistic and tangible to a reader who has not experienced exile.

Utgångspunkten för denna uppsats är att utifrån moderna teorier och metoder belysa illustrationernas betydelse för ikonotexten. Författaren har använt två versioner av Astrid Lindgrens Sunnanäng - ¨Sunnanäng¨ i Sunnanäng (1959) och Sunnanäng (2003) ? för att belysa området. Båda berättelserna har samma text, men olika illustratörer, Ilon Wikland och Marit Törnqvist. Tillvägagångssättet författaren har använt i uppsatsen är separerade textanalyser, bildanalyser och analyser av ikonotexten utifrån dennes ¨läsning¨ av de två olika versionerna av Sunnanäng.

Att presentera information i ett gränssnitt kan göras med ikoner, text eller med kombinationen ikoner och text. Vilket sätt är att föredra? Forskning visar att inget presentationssätt är att föredra framför något annat. Dessa studier är enbart utförda på stora displayer. Går resultaten att applicera på små displayer? Syftet med detta examensarbete är att påvisa att fördelarna med att använda ett ikonbaserat gränssnitt är fler för en liten display än för en stor display samt att ikoner är det optimala presentationsättet för en liten display.
