Multi-objective optimisations for a superscalar architecture with selective value prediction
2012
This work extends an earlier manual design space ex ploration of our developed Selective Load Value Pre diction based superscalar architecture to the L2 unified cache. A fter that we perform an automatic design space expl oration using a special developed software tool by varying several architectural parameters. Our goal is to find optim al configurations in terms of CPI (Cycles per Instruction) and energy consumption. By varying 19 architectural parameter s, as we proposed, the design space is over 2.5 millions of billions configurations which obviously means that only heuristic search can be considered. Therefore, we propose dif ferent methods of automatic design space exploratio n based…
Mathematics education and learning disabilities in Spain.
2004
In the first part of this article, we describe the basic objectives of the math curriculum in Spain as well as the basic contents, teacher resources, and obstacles perceived in mathematics instruction. Second, we briefly describe the concept of learning disabilities (LD) as they are currently defined in Spain. As stated in the recent educational reform, a student with LD is any student with special educational needs. The emphasis is placed on the educational resources that these students need in order to achieve the curricular objectives that correspond to their age group or grade. Third, we comment specifically on the educational services model and the evaluation and instructional procedu…
Facing EL teachers' burnout through motivation
2019
The educational institutions in many countries are faced with the major problem of teacher burnout causing high rates of attrition and absenteeism. There is widespread agreement among researchers that teacher burnout can effectively be countered through emphasis on teacher motivation. This article is about a 2-year qualitative research carried out by an English language teacher who focused on how to cope successfully with potential burnout conditions through a mutually reinforcing cycle of teacher and student motivation activated by the implementation of a Postmethod emotion-focused pedagogical framework and the emphasis on the quality of life in the English classroom.
Scripted Collaboration and Group‐Based Variations in a Higher Education CSCL Context
2009
Scripting student activities is one way to make Computer‐Supported Collaborative Learning more efficient. This case study examines how scripting guided student group activities and also how different groups interpreted the script; what kinds of roles students adopted and what kinds of differences there were between the groups in terms of their activities. Seven small groups of higher education students participated in the study. According to the findings, scripting enhanced collaboration and ensured that all groups were able to complete the task, but despite the script the groups' activities varied during the task and the script could not guarantee any “high‐level” participation by all stud…

Instructional factors and over-education of university graduates
2015
The aim of this work is to test the role of the level of generic competences developed during University studies and the professional and practice orientation of instruction (PPOI) in the prediction of graduates’ initial vertical fit and vertical fit change over an 8-year period. The study sample comprised 334 graduates who finished their degrees two years before they were interviewed for the first time (Time 1). Four and eight years later they were interviewed again (Times 2 and 3, respectively). All of them had employment at Time 1, 2 and 3. Hypotheses were tested by means of Latent Growth Curve Analyses. Contrary to our expectations only PPOI was positive and significantly related to gra…
The Expansion of English-medium Instruction in the Nordic Countries.Can Top-Down University Language Polices Encourage Bottom-up Disciplinary Literac…
2015
Recently, in the wake of the Bologna Declaration and similar internationalinitiatives, there has been a rapid increase in the number of university courses and programmestaught through the medium of English. Surveys have consistently shown theNordic countries to be at the forefront of this trend towards English-medium instruction(EMI). In this paper, we discuss the introduction of EMI in four Nordic countries (Denmark,Finland, Norway and Sweden). We present the educational setting and the EMIdebate in each of these countries and summarize relevant research findings. We then makesome tentative suggestions for the introduction of EMI in higher education in othercountries. In particular, we are…
La vocalidad del violín en el norte de Italia en torno a 1600
2021
Throughout the present research I intend to demonstrate the powerful link between the vocal practice in accompanied monody and the way Early Italian violin music ought to be interpreted. Due to the scarce amount of articulation and ornamentation in this music, I consider that historical criteria should be found in order to back up the subjective choices in its performance. According to this, I focus on reviewing sources that describe the vocal practice around 1600, but also contemporary sources in which we can find instructions addressed to bow instruments. Besides, a catalogue of articulations and ornamentations present in early editions of printed violin music is attached. Last, I comment…
Kvantifisering av intensitetsfordeling hos fotballspillerepå høyt norsk nivå
2009
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap Universitetet i Agder 2009 Denne studien hadde som hensikt å kvantifisere den daglige intensitetsdistribusjonen til en gruppe profesjonelle fotballspillere basert på tre ulike kvantifiseringsmetoder. Hensikten var også å kartlegge treningsmessige forskjeller i oppkjøringsfase og sesong. Metode: femten mannlige fotballspillere (Alder: 24,1 ± 5,2) gjennomførte en løpstest på tredemølle til utmattelse, for å finne VO2 og hjertefrekvensverdier som korresponderte med ventilatoriske terskler (VT1 og VT2), maksimalt oksygenopptak (VO2maks 58 ± 3) og makspuls. VT1 og VT2 ble brukt for å dele inn tre intensitetssoner med bakgrunn i hjertefrekvens. Treningsdata ble in…
Overgangen fra 7-er til 11-er fotball : fra lek til alvor?
2012
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap -Universitetet i Agder 2012 Det debatteres jevnlig om vi er gode nok på spillerutvikling i Norge, og mye kan trolig bli bedre. Denne studien tar for seg den tilsynelatende uproblematiske overgangen fra 7-er til 11-er fotball, men som viser seg å representere er et skille fra lek til alvor. Studien undersøker ulike aspekter overgangen fører med seg og om disse er hensiktsmessig for utvikling av unge spillere, eller om de kan ha en negativ effekt som fører til lav motivasjon og frafall av spillere. Studien er todelt; - Studie 1 er en kvantitativ observasjons-studie hvor det ble sett på antall involveringer i både 7-er og 11-er fotball hos 40 13-åringer i Agder…
