  2. 6. Getting started : Children’s participation and language learning in an L2 classroom

    Author : Asta Čekaitė; Karin Aronsson; Ben Rampton; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; language classroom; language learning; second language acquisition; social interaction; language socialization; peer group; affective stances; language play; socialt samspel; språksocialisation; kamratgruppen; språklig lek; affektiva uttryck; förberedelseklass; andraspråksinlärning; Bilingualism; Tvåspråkighet;

    Abstract : Denna avhandling handlar om en förberedelseklass med elever (7-10 år) som har ett annat hemspråk än svenska (arabiska, kurdiska, thailändska). Utifrån empiri som samlats in genom videoinspelningar och observationer under ett års tid i en förberedelseklass studeras elevernas deltagande och språkinlärning i det dagliga klassrumsarbetet.

  4. 7. An interactive flowcharting technique for communicating and realizing algorithms

    Author : Arne Jönsson; Mikael Patel; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the design, specification, implementation and experience of the use of an interactive flowcharting technique for communicating and realizing algorithms. Our goals are: 1) to help novices to understand computers, by giving them a framework for organizing algorithms, and 2) to support development of software produced by groups of people over an extended period of time.

  5. 8. Human factors in image guided surgical simulator training : components, visual-spatial and haptic aspects

    Author : Pär Ström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Image guided surgery; virtual reality; simulation; simulator training; skill acquisition; performance; components; visual-spatial ability; haptic feedback;

    Abstract : New image-guided surgical techniques such as arthroscopy and laparoscopy are difficult to learn and master. To handle these techniques, there seems to be a need for higher-level abilities such as visual-spatial abilities. READ MORE

  6. 9. THE ROLE OF VISUAL-SPATIAL ABILITY AND WORKING MEMORY IN IMAGE GUIDED SIMULATOR PERFORMANCE

    Author : Pehr Andersson; Greg Neely; Håkan Alm; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; psykologi;

    Abstract : Numerous studies have analyzed the critical factors for training in surgical endoscopy to ensure high performance and increased patient safety. There are, however, surprisingly few studies that focus on the role of cognitive abilities, especially considering the fact that an estimated 50% of allmedical errors that lead to permanent disability and death are the result of cognitive failures (Gawande, Zinner, Studdert & Biennen, 2003).

  7. 10. Virtual Reality Simulations and Interventional Radiology

    Author : Berry Max; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : INTRODUCTION: Use of virtual reality (VR) simulators in endovascular interventional education has become increasingly popular yet many questions surrounding this nascent technology remain unanswered. While progress has been made in other disciplines such as endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery, scientific evidence investigating endovascular simulations remains limited. READ MORE
