2. 1. Varieties of reading disability : Phonological and orthographic word decoding deficits and implications for interventions

   Author : Stefan Gustafson; Stefan Samuelsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Reading disability; dyslexia; word decoding; individual differences; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : The general aim of this thesis was to examine variations in the word decoding skills of reading disabled children. These variations were related to possible cognitive, developmental, and environmental causes of reading disability. Possible implications for educational interventions were also analysed. READ MORE

4. 2. Early Predictors of Reading Comprehension Difficulties

   Author : Åsa Elwér; Stefan Samuelsson; Stefan Gustafson; Pekka Niemi; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Reading comprehension; poor comprehenders; longitudinal study; early identification; reading disability; Läsförståelse; poor comprehenders; longitudinell studie; tidig identifiering; lässvårigheter;

   Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was to examine the cognitive and language profile in children with poor reading comprehension using a longitudinal perspective. Even though comprehension skills are closely connected to educational success, comprehension deficits in children have been neglected in reading research. READ MORE

5. 3. Early Elementary School Interventions in Reading and Mathematics

   Author : Hanna Lindström-Sandahl; Henrik Danielsson; Stefan Samuelsson; Åsa Elwér; Joakim Samuelsson; Karin Landerl; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Intervention; Special education; Instruction; Reading; Mathematics; Randomized controlled study; Follow-up; Elementary school; Intervention; Specialpedagogik; Undervisning; Läsning; Matematik; Randomiserad kontrollerad studie; Uppföljning; Grundskola;

   Abstract : Supplemental special education support in reading and mathematics is essential for some children who struggle to learn basic reading or mathematics skills in their first years of schooling. Previous research shows that supplemental phonics and early numeracy and arithmetic instruction help students at risk for reading or mathematics difficulties. READ MORE

6. 4. Scripted knowledge packages : implicit and explicit constraints on comprehension and memory

   Author : Stefan Samuelsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was (a) to specify how the use of predictive inferences in comprehension is constrained by scripted knowledge packages, (b) to examine recall for scripted representations, and (c) to specify mechanisms underlying the interplay between script-based constraints on predictive inferences and memory for these generic knowledge representations. In fourteen experiments, lipreading represented a method to detect implicit and explicit constraints on predictive inferences imposed by typicality, abstraction, and temporal order. READ MORE

7. 5. LCA and LCCA in the design of geotechnical engineering works

   Author : Ida Samuelsson; Stefan Larsson; Johan Spross; Rasmus Rempling; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Life Cycle Assessment; Life Cycle Cost Analysis; climate impact; costs; geotechnical engineering; Livscykelanalys; Livscykelkostnadsanalys; klimatpåverkan; kostnader; geoteknik; Soil and Rock Mechanics; Jord- och bergmekanik;

   Abstract : Geotechnical engineering works are part of almost all construction and infrastructure projects. The geotechnical engineering work contributes to the impact on the environment and gives rise to costs throughout its life cycle. READ MORE
