Hydrothermal fluid venting in the offshore sector of Campi Flegrei caldera: A geochemical, geophysical, and volcanological study
2016
The ongoing unrest at the Campi Flegrei caldera (CFc) in southern Italy is prompting exploration of its poorly studied offshore sector. We report on a multidisciplinary investigation of the Secca delle Fumose (SdF), a submarine relief known since antiquity as the largest degassing structure of the offshore sector of CFc. We combined high-resolution morpho-bathymetric and seismo-stratigraphic data with onshore geological information to propose that the present-day SdF morphology and structure developed during the initial stages of the last CFc eruption at Monte Nuovo in AD 1538. We suggest that the SdF relief stands on the eastern uplifted border of a N-S-trending graben-like structure forme…
Understanding disruptive situations in physical education : Teaching style and didactic implications
2020
Several studies have emphasized the importance of handling disruptive situations in the physical education (PE) learning environment; however, few have investigated complex disruptive situations in PE and included both teacher and student perspectives. The aims of this study, which discusses an alternative teaching style for reducing disruptive situations, were to gain a better understanding of student and teacher experiences of complex disruptive situations in PE, and to explore how the teacher handled these situations. The philosophical perspective used in this study was Rorty’s philosophical pragmatism. Methods included written narratives, interviews, observation, and video recordings o…
Videopeliäänten käyttö pelitiedon välittämiseen – esimerkkinä Dota 2 -peli
2014
Videopeleissä oleva äänimaailma on tärkeä osa pelikokemusta. Äänet voivat voimistaa pelaajan kokemaa syventymistä peliin ja myös antaa pelaajalle tärkeää pelitietoa. Tässä tutkimuksessa luokitellaan kirjallisuuskatsauksella peleissä esiintyvät äänet luokkiin. Esimerkkipelinä olevaa Dota 2:ta käytetään luokkien havainnollistamiseen. Tuloksina saadaan luokittelut peliäänille sekä näiden luokkien tehokkaan käyttöön liittyvää tietoa tiedon välittämisessä. Dota 2:n äänten käyttöä havainnollistetaan myös Roquen ja Alvesin mallilla. Tässä mallissa kuvataan yleisiä ongelmatilanteita pelitiedon välittämisessä ja esitetään ratkaisut esimerkkien avulla. Käyttämällä tätä mallia voidaan auttaa olennaise…
Bilingual speech comprehension in context : Predictive sentence processing in second language listening
2021
Master´s thesis in English (EN500) The project aims to extend our understanding of the relationship between language profile, proficiency and speech comprehension in English by investigating three-sentence contexts of mixed word order, low-constraint sentence and high-constraint sentence. Our concern in this study is whether context effects will behave differently in the first language (L1) than in the second language (L2). Norwegian natives with English as a second language (Norwegian-English bilinguals) performed in a word monitoring experiment which consisted of a within-language variable (mixed word order versus low-constraint versus high-constraint sentence conditions) with a between -…
Bilingual Spoken Word Comprehension: Effects of Sentence Context : A comparison of Norwegian-English bilinguals’ speech recognition in Norwegian and …
2021
Master´s thesis in English (EN500) This master thesis is part of a bigger master project aiming to expand our understanding of speech processing. In three sub-projects –speech production, speech comprehension, and word finding –six master students investigated the relationship between an individual’s language background and proficiency and their use of English as a second language. This thesis covers the comprehension part of the study, which investigated Norwegian-English bilinguals’ ability to use sentence contextual information when processing spoken language both in their native Norwegian and in English as a second language, and whether this ability was modulated by aspects of participa…
Tip-of-the-Tongue (TOT) States in Norwegian-English Bilinguals : Effects of Word Frequency, Cognate Status, Noun Type, and Bilingual Profiles
2021
Master´s thesis in English (EN500) This study investigates the effects of language, word frequency, cognate status, noun type, and different bilingual profiles on tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) states in Norwegian-English bilinguals. Furthermore, the study aimed to establish whether the weaker links hypothesis or the competition hypothesis could better account for the TOT phenomenon. TOTs were induced by using a word-finding experiment in which the participants were asked to read a definition and then report whether they knew the target word. According to the results, the participants knew more words in Norwegian and reported more TOTs in English. Frequency effects revealed that the participants k…
Effects of cognate status, noun type, frequency, and bilingual profile on the tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) phenomenon in Norwegian-English bilinguals
2021
Master´s thesis in English (EN500) This experimental thesis aimed to investigate the effects of cognate status, frequency, and noun type on the tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) phenomenon in Norwegian-English bilinguals, and how their performance in these conditions relates to individual differences in their bilingual profile such as second language(L2)English proficiency. A bilingual profile was created for each participant based on their answers on an amended version of the Language Experience and Proficiency Questionnaire (Marian, Blumenfeld & Kaushauskaya, 2007). The experimental part of this study included a TOT experiment in two parts: one English and one Norwegian. For both experiments, stimu…
Dyslexia in bilingualism : A case study of an English-Norwegian bilingual child with developmental dyslexia
2021
Master´s thesis in English (EN500) This study investigates the interactions between dyslexia and bilingualism, and aims to observe how dyslexia presents itself in a bilingual individual. The importance of language similarity, orthographic transparency and cognate effect is investigated through a set experiments and analysis of dyslexia assessment results. Data for this study is collected by means of qualitative(questionnaire and dyslexia assessment)and quantitative (RAN and word spotting tasks)methods based on a case study of an English-Norwegian bilingual with developmental dyslexia.
Muslim Otherness in Post-9/11 Novels A postcolonial outlook on the fictional representation of Muslim otherness in post 9/11 novels.
2020
Master´s thesis in English (EN501) The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001,led many Americans to vilify Muslims and Islam. Indeed, 9/11 bequeathed to the U.S. a new category of evil other, a decade and more after the “evil empire” of the USSR had been vanquished, and the cold war concluded. This thesis will investigate how this new other is represented in three post-9/11 novels, Mohsin Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2007), Amy Waldman’s The Submission (2011),and H. M. Naqvi’s Home Boy (2010). These novels will be examined partly through the lens of postcolonial theory, as represented by Edward Said, Mohammad Samiei,and Robert Young. This thesis will demonstrate how the selected n…
