2. 1. Bilingual students' learning in science : Language, gestures and phyiscal artefacts

   Author : Zeynep Ünsal; Britt Jakobson; Per-Olof Wickman; Bengt-Olov Molander; Erik Knain; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; science education; bilingual students; mediating means; language; gestures; physical artefacts; learning; meaning-making; practical epistemological analysis; translanguaging; continuity; naturvetenskapsämnenas didaktik; Science Education;

   Abstract : The objective of this thesis is to examine how language, gestures and physical artefacts are used in science classes with emergent bilingual students who do not share the same minority language as their classmates or teachers. The purpose is to contribute to findings that can enhance emergent bilingual students’ learning in science. READ MORE

4. 2. Science, Language, and Literacy : Case Studies of Learning in Swedish University Physics

   Author : John Airey; Cedric Linder; Roger Säljö; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Learning; Higher education; Bilingualism; Language choice; Science education; Scientific literacy; Bilingual scientific literacy; Disciplinary discourse; Discourse imitation; Semiotics; Physics Education Research; Physics; Fysik; Fysik med inriktning mot fysikens didaktik; Physics with specialization in Physics Education; Science Education; Engelsk språkvetenskap; Fysik; Pedagogik och Utbildningsvetenskap; Pedagogics;

   Abstract : This thesis presents an investigation of undergraduate student learning with respect to physics lectures attended in English and Swedish. The work studies three connected areas: student learning patterns, bilingual scientific literacy and disciplinary discourse. READ MORE

5. 3. Text Representations and Explainability for Political Science Applications

   Author : Denitsa Saynova; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Political Science; Explainability; NLP; Representation;

   Abstract : This work explores the utility of natural language processing approaches for the study of political behavior by examining two main aspects - representation and explainability. We investigate how current representation approaches capture politically relevant signals in a proportional representation system. READ MORE

Investigations into the ideological organisation of political protests are the focus in all four articles. READ MORE

7. 5. MaltParser -- An Architecture for Inductive Labeled Dependency Parsing

   Author : Johan Hall; Joakim Nivre; Welf Löwe; Martin Volk; Växjö universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dependency Parsing; Support Vector Machines; Machine Learning; Language technology; Språkteknologi; Computer and Information Sciences Computer Science; Data- och informationsvetenskap;

   Abstract : This licentiate thesis presents a software architecture for inductive labeled dependency parsing of unrestricted natural language text, which achieves a strict modularization of parsing algorithm, feature model and learning method such that these parameters can be varied independently. The architecture is based on the theoretical framework of inductive dependency parsing by Nivre \citeyear{nivre06c} and has been realized in MaltParser, a system that supports several parsing algorithms and learning methods, for which complex feature models can be defined in a special description language.
