2. 6. Developmental Perspectives on Transfer in Third Language Acquisition

   Author : Susan Sayehli; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Third language acquisition; second language acquisition; transfer; developmental stages; elicited imitation; syntax; morphology; psychotypology; cross-linguistic influence;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to examine how learner-general developmental stages in syntax and morphology interact with a language-specific factor, the influence of—or transfer from— the language learner’s first (L1) or previously learned second (L2) language on the acquisition of a third language (L3). It thereby aims to bring together two lines of research whose main concepts—transfer and developmental stages—have often been defined as mutually exclusive and generally studied in separate lines of research.

4. 7. Snakes and Ladders : Developmental Aspects of Lexical-Conceptual Relationships in the Multilingual Mental Lexicon

   Author : Lari-Valtteri Suhonen; Språkinlärning; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; third language acquisition; cross-linguistic influence; mental lexicon; multilingualism; psychotypology; L3; attrition; second language acquisition; SLA; TLA; transfer; concept; cognitive control; working memory; CLI; multidirectional; multilingual mental lexicon; MML; acquisition; learning; translation ambiguity; introspection; longitudinal;

   Abstract : One phenomenon causing issues for language learners in the form of cross-linguistic influence (CLI) is translation ambiguity (Eddington & Tokowicz, 2013). Translation ambiguity refers to a situation where word meanings are different in a speaker’s languages. READ MORE

5. 8. Smoking and T cell co-stimulation in rheumatoid arthritis

   Author : Caroline Wasén; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rheumatoid arthritis; CD8 T cell; programmed cell death-1; programmed cell death-1 ligand 1; smoking; microRNA;

   Abstract : In this thesis I investigated if smoking limits the co-stimulatory system of CD8+ T cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). I took special interest in the co-inhibitory receptor PD-1 and its ligand PD-L1. READ MORE

6. 9. Exploring the Boundaries of Gene Regulatory Network Inference

   Author : Andreas Tjärnberg; Erik Sonnhammer; Richard Bonneau; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; GRN; gene regulatory network; network inference; signal to noise ratio; model selection; variable selection; data properties; reverse engineering; ordinary differential equations; gene networks; linear regression; lasso; Biochemistry towards Bioinformatics; biokemi med inriktning mot bioinformatik;

   Abstract : To understand how the components of a complex system like the biological cell interact and regulate each other, we need to collect data for how the components respond to system perturbations. Such data can then be used to solve the inverse problem of inferring a network that describes how the pieces influence each other. READ MORE

7. 10. Second Language Acquisition of Mandarin Aspect Markers by Native Swedish Adults

   Author : Luying Wang; Åke Viberg; Gisela Håkanson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Second language acquisition; Mandarin; Swedish; aspect-tense morphology; aspect marker; grammatical aspect; lexical aspect; acquisition order; the Aspect Hypothesis; the Distributional Bias Hypothesis; the Prototype Model;

   Abstract : This experimental study investigates the second language acquisition of the four Mandarin aspect markers -le, -guo, -zhe, and zai- by native Swedish university students enrolled in Chinese language courses in Sweden. The main points of inquiry are acquisition order, the Aspect Hypothesis, the Distributional Bias Hypothesis, and the Prototype Model. READ MORE
