  2. 6. Typical and atypical language development in Turkish-Swedish bilingual children aged 4–7

    Author : Buket Öztekin; Ute Bohnacker; Aylin Küntay; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; bilingualism; Turkish; Swedish; preschool children; MAIN; CLT; language input; vocabulary; macrostructure; language impairment; atypical language development;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the vocabulary and narrative macrostructure skills of 102 typically-developing (TD) 4- to 7-year-old Turkish-Swedish bilingual children (cross-sectional), the development of these skills over time from age 4 to 6 in a subgroup of 10 children (longitudinal), and six Turkish-Swedish children with a language impairment (LI) diagnosis (clinical). The children’s health, family and language backgrounds, their language use and input patterns are explored through parental questionnaires, family interviews, and interviews with teachers and speech-language pathologists.

    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; language development; bilingualism; Sweden; Lebanon; Swedish; Arabic; preschool-aged children; early school-aged children; vocabulary; narrative macrostructure; CLT; MAIN; language exposure; joint book reading; code-switching; SES; Linguistics; Lingvistik;

    Abstract : This dissertation investigates the vocabulary and narrative skills of 100 Arabic-Swedish-speaking children (aged 4–7 years) in Sweden cross-sectionally and the development of these skills (4 to 6) in a subgroup of 10 children longitudinally. Also, the vocabulary skills of 100 Arabic-speaking bilingual children (aged 4–7 years) in Lebanon are investigated cross-sectionally and compared to the Swedish cross-sectional study. READ MORE

  6. 9. Towards Large-Capacity and Cost-Effective Main Memories

    Author : Dmitry Knyaginin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fairness; Energy Efficiency; Hybrid Main Memory; Performance; Design-Space Exploration; Parallel Memory Protocols; Large-Capacity Local Memory; Hardware-Based Hybrid Memory Management; Cost-Effectiveness;

    Abstract : Large, multi-terabyte main memories per processor socket are instrumental to address the continuously growing performance demands of domains like high-performance computing, databases, and big data. It is an important objective to design large-capacity main memories in a way that maximizes their cost-effectiveness and at the same time minimizes performance losses caused by cost-effective tradeoffs.
