Lukion vieraiden kielten opettajien käytänteitä ja käsityksiä eriyttävästä arvioinnista

2023

This study explores the perceptions and practices of upper secondary school language teachers on differentiated assessment. The data were collected through a closed and open-ended questionnaire (n=48) and individual interviews with four teachers. The results show that the teachers used a variety of assessment methods, with a predominant emphasis on formative assessment. Although the teachers mentioned many differentiated assessment methods, they did not generally differentiate their assessments to a large extent. The teachers also focused mostly on low-achieving students and neglected adversely gifted students. The teachers seemed to follow the practice of having all students demonstrate th…

Tilrettelegging for lek og samspill for elever som viser innagerende atferd

2023

I denne masteroppgaven i profesjonsrettet spesialpedagogikk rettes søkelyset mot pedagogers forståelse og erfaringer knyttet til innagerende atferd, og om hvordan de tilrettelegger for elever som viser slik atferd skal delta mer i lek og samspill i skolen. Problemstillingen for studien er følgende: Hvordan forstår pedagoger innagerende atferd, og hvordan tilrettelegger de for at elever som viser slik atferd skal delta mer i lek og samspill i grunnskolen? For å belyse problemstillingen ble tre pedagoger intervjuet om hvordan de hadde tilrettelagt, og hvilke tiltak de hadde satt i gang for å hjelpe elever de hadde hatt inn i lek og samspill. Formålet med studien var å synliggjøre elever som v…

Conceptualization for intended action: A dynamic model

2023

Concepts are the building blocks of higher-order cognition and consciousness. Building on Conceptual Spaces Theory (CST) and proceeding from the assumption that concepts are inherently dynamic, this paper provides historical context to and significantly elaborates the previously offered Iterative Subdivision Model (ISDM) with the goal of pushing it toward empirical testability. The paper describes how agents in continuous interaction with their environment adopt an intentional orientation, estimate the utility of the concept(s) applicable to action in the current context, engage in practical action, and adopt any new concepts that emerge: a largely pre-intellectual cycle that repeats essent…

Inkluderingsdilemmaer i specialpædagogisk arbejde i børnehave

2023

Børnehaveloven beskriver at børnehaven skal være en arena for fællesskab, venskab, demokrati og ligestilling, samt modarbejde alle former for diskriminering (Barnehageloven, 2005, §1). Børnehaveloven (Barnehageloven, 2005, §31) viser til at børn som er under oplæringspligtig alder har ret til specialpædagogisk hjælp, hvis de har særlig behov for dette. Nordahl (2018, s. 5) beskriver at børn med behov for specialpædagogisk hjælp over lang tid ikke har været tilstrækkelig inkluderet i fællesskab med andre børn, og at de ikke har fået muligheden til at realisere sit potentiale. Nordahl beskriver et tydelig behov for et kvalitativt bedre tilbud til de børn, som modtager specialpædagogisk hjælp …

Causality-Aware Convolutional Neural Networks for Advanced Image Classification and Generation

2023

Smart manufacturing uses emerging deep learning models, and particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), for different industrial diagnostics tasks, e.g., classification, detection, recognition, prediction, synthetic data generation, security, etc., on the basis of image data. In spite of being efficient for these objectives, the majority of current deep learning models lack interpretability and explainability. They can discover features hidden within input data together with their mutual co-occurrence. However, they are weak at discovering and making explicit hidden causalities between the features, which could be the reason behind the parti…

Activation of Stainless Steel 316L Anode for Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis

2023

The increased emphasis on renewable energy has resulted in a surge of R&D efforts into hydrogen and battery research. The intensive electrochemical environment surrounding the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has plagued both the activity and stability of the catalytic layer, substrate and porous transport layer, ultimately affecting both these industries. Herein, we report the benefits of potential cycling (PC) a 316L stainless steel felt porous transport layer (PTL) for use in anion exchange membrane water electrolysis. The PC increased surface roughness and created a CrFe5Ni2-OxHy layer through the oxidation of iron as shown by SEM, EDS, XPS, XRD and Raman spectroscopy. Post-PC tes…

Finnish Quality Evaluation Discourse : Swimming Against the Global Tide?

2023

AbstractThis chapter discusses Finnish quality evaluation in comprehensive education, recognising that it frequently differs from that used by the Global Education Reform Movement (GERM) in most countries. Instead of high-stakes testing of pupil achievement, monitoring or school inspection, Finnish quality evaluation (QE) rests mainly on sample-based national testing and self-evaluations conducted in schools and municipalities. The argument presented here is that, although reform of the Finnish education system has often taken a different path from other countries, at the level of discourse, the Finnish system is increasingly caught between the more usual approach to QE and the Finnish vari…

Improvement of neutron sensitivity for lithium formate ESR dosimeters: A Monte Carlo analysis

2023

This work presents the computational analysis of the sensitivity improvements that could be achieved in lithium formate monohydrate (LFM) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dosemeters exposed to neutron beams. Monte Carlo (MC) simulations were performed on LFM pellets exposed to neutron beams with different energy spectra at various depths inside a water phantom. Various computations were carried out by considering different enrichments of 6Li inside the LFM matrix as well as addition of different amounts of gadolinium oxide inside the pellet blend. The energy released per unit mass was calculated with the aim of redicting the increase in dose achievable by the addition of sensitizers in…

Water leaching of roasted vanadium slag : Desiliconization and precipitation of ammonium vanadate from vanadium solution

2023

This research investigated water leaching of roasted vanadium slag and studied the effects of leaching parameters, such as agitation speed, temperature, liquid-to-solid ratio, and leaching time. Further, solution purification via desiliconization and precipitation of ammonium vanadate were studied using the vanadium solution obtained from the water leaching of roasted vanadium slag. Vanadium solution contains residual silicon (1.67 g/L), which should be removed before ammonium vanadate precipitation. Based on the results, vanadium can be effectively recovered from vanadium slag and a recovery efficiency of 96.9% was obtained under optimal water leaching conditions. During solution purificat…

Il contributo del letame alla nematofauna

2023

Gli effetti benefici del letame sul suolo e sulla resa delle colture sono stati ampiamente dimostrati grazie al suo alto contenuto di sostanza organica. Inoltre, il letame può aumentare l'attività biologica e la diversità degli organismi del suolo, il che a sua volta può portare a ridurre al minimo i danni alle colture da agenti patogeni presenti nel suolo. Inoltre numerose sono le segnalazioni sul successo dell'applicazione del letame al fine di ridurre i nematodi delle lesioni radicali in diversi sistemi colturali. Tuttavia, al meglio delle nostre conoscenze ci sono pochi studi sulla caratterizzazione delle comunità di nematodi su letame maturo. E' stato quindi intrapreso uno studio per v…

I randsonen av den norske velferdsstaten. Arbeidsledige polske migranters erfaringer med tilgang til offentlige velferdsytelser og møter med NAV.

2023

This thesis seeks to answer two research questions: How do unemployed Polish migrants in Norway experience their access to public welfare benefits and their encounters with NAV? And how are these experiences institutionally shaped? As EEA citizens, Polish migrants are free to enter and work in any EEA country, thus enjoying a privileged status. However, they can end up in a vulnerable position if they become unemployed. EEA migrants’ rights to public welfare benefits are characterised by legal grey zones and ambiguity. In many ways, EEA mobility disrupts and blurs the boundaries of citizenship and national states. This study explores the experiences of dealing with the Norwegian welfare adm…

La lettura ad alta voce per favorire lo sviluppo cognitivo ed emotivo del bambino

2023

L’esposizione precoce a pratiche di lettura ad alta voce rappresenta uno strumento fondamentale per lo sviluppo di facoltà cognitive, emotive e psi-cologiche già nella prima infanzia. La lettura ad alta voce è una pratica che se utilizzata fin dalla primissima infanzia è in grado di modellare il cer-vello sviluppando maggiormente circuiti cere-brali che supportano le abilità narrative. Nume-rose ricerche hanno evidenziato come la lettura ad alta voce già dal primo anno di vita favorisca lo sviluppo cognitivo ed emotivo del bambino e faciliti la costruzione di un rapporto positivo tra genitori e figli. La famiglia, pertanto, ha il compi-to principale di promuovere occasioni di lettura ad alt…

Natursyn, jaktlovgivning og jaktpraksis i Norge 1845-1899. En undersøkelse av jaktholdninger og natursyn hos næringsjegere og sportsjegere.

2023

Two of Norway's most influential hunting laws in the 19th century were passed in 1845 and 1899. During this period, hunting in Norway served both as a livelihood for a large part of the country’s population, but also as a recreational activity for sport hunters. Roughly outlined, this created a social and cultural division between (1) traditional food hunters and (2) sport hunters. In this thesis, I examine the hunting attitudes and views of nature held by these two groups of hunters. I will refer to the three most influential hunting laws from the period, from 1845, 1863 and 1899 respectively, to uncover attitudes among hunters, as such attitudes are more likely to be revealed by the chang…

Simultaneous detection of copper and mercury in water samples using in-situ pH control with electrochemical stripping techniques

2023

The performance of electrochemical sensors using an in situ pH control technique for detection of mercury and copper in neutral solutions is described herein. Sensors are comprised of two distinct parallel gold interdigitated microband electrodes each of which may be polarised separately. Biasing one interdigitated “protonator” electrode sufficiently positive to begin water electrolysis, resulted in the production of H+ ions, which, consequently droped the interfacial pH at the other second interdigitated “sensing” electrode. This decrease in pH permitted the electrodeposition (and consequent stripping) of metals at a sensing electrode without the need to acidify the whole test solution. In…

The love boat. La crociera come eterotopia

2023

On a cruise, spatial coordinates are suspended (orientation with respect to the land and to the labyrinthine plan of the ship is lost), the temporal dimension (time is marked by the palimpsest of daily activities rather than by clocks), and the actor's characteristics (with the alteration of some of the identity traits of the subjects involved). The passenger experiences on the voyage an 'other' self, one that in some ways cannot be revealed within everyday life. And the boat becomes the place in which a series of paradoxes are realised: the realm of the freedom, but also a form of holiday slavery in which everything is capillarily foreseen beforehand; a space in which apparent luxury is ma…

Variable and core functional microbiota associated with seven Medicago truncatula genotypes

2023

The rhizosphere microbiota emerges as a novel component that expands plant adaptation to its environment, and thus paves the way for future breeding approaches. Knowledge regarding the "functional core microbiota", which refers to the microbial taxa bearing essential functions for holobiont fitness, is required to move forward in this area. The aim of the present study was to compare the functional microbiota recruited by different plant genotypes in order to identify itscore and variable components. Seven genotypes of Medicago truncatula (DZA315-16, DZA315-26, DZA045-6, F83005-5, SA028064, Jemalong A17 and J6), representatives of a core collection of 184 genotypes, were studied. Functional…

Exploring the conditions of English language education through the experience of Eritrean Sophomore English language learners and teachers

2023

This study addresses the little studied context of English language education in Eritrea. Despite the teaching of English as a subject and the forward-looking mother tongue policy implemented in Eritrean elementary education, Eritrean students struggle to cope with English as the medium of instruction from the start of junior school to the end of tertiary education. This qualitative study analyses sixteen sophomore student interviews and six teacher interviews to critically explore the conditions of English language education in Eritrea. Using an ecological perspective, the findings from this study highlight how the affective, didactic, study and linguistic conditions interrelate with one a…

Multidisciplinary approach to explore interactions in odor mixture perception

2023

Odors and aromas perceived in food and in the environment result from the processing of complex chemical mixtures of volatile compounds that should be efficiently processed by the olfactory system. It is known for decades that this processing generates perceptual interactions, such as masking, synergy, or perceptual blending, which contribute to elaborating a synthetic brain representation of the chemical information. Nevertheless, the perceptual processes underlying these interactions are still poorly known. In this project, we set out a multidisciplinary approach to identify the characteristics of odorants and olfactory receptors (ORs) that could support perceptual interactions. We hypoth…

Quality culture boosts agile transformation : Action research in a business‐to‐business software business

2023

Agile methodologies are sometimes adopted, with the assumption that benefits can be attained by only using a set of best practices, which can sometimes work to a degree. In this paper, a case is discussed where a software-producing organization of seven teams achieved significant improvements. The goal of the research was to answer two questions: how an already agile organization could improve its performance further and what is the impact of promoting quality aspects? The questions were answered by implementing interventions based on prior literature and data emerging from semi-structured interviews. The context was an established business with a complex revenue stream structure, meaning t…

Large-scale long-term passive-acoustic monitoring reveals spatio-temporal activity patterns of boreal bats

2023

The distribution ranges and spatio-temporal patterns in the occurrence and activity of boreal bats are yet largely unknown due to their cryptic lifestyle and lack of suitable and efficient study methods. We approached the issue by establishing a permanent passive-acoustic sampling setup spanning the area of Finland to gain an understanding on how latitude affects bat species composition and activity patterns in northern Europe. The recorded bat calls were semi-automatically identified for three target taxa; Myotis spp., Eptesicus nilssonii or Pipistrellus nathusii and the seasonal activity patterns were modeled for each taxa across the seven sampling years (2015–2021). We found an increase …
