Purpose: The purpose of this document is threefold: (a) review the uses of the terms “vocal fatigue,” “vocal effort,” “vocal load,” and “vocal loading” (as found in the literature) in order to track the occurrence and the related evolution of research; (b) present a “linguistically modeled” definition of the same from the review of literature on the terms; and (c) propose conceptualized definition
Desalination is an important method and cost effective for producing potable water and is a rapidly growing technology worldwide. According to the International Desalination Association, IDA data base the amount of desalinated water soon will reach the 100 MCM per day, which means double of this amount (200 MCM/day) is called brine discharge or rejected amount. In this study, we planned to follow
This presentation will give an overview of a peer learning model called Supplemental Instruction - Peer Assisted Study Scheme (SI-PASS). SI-PASS was invented at the University of Missouri in Kansas City, USA in the early1970s and was then directed to Universities and for the university students. In this presentation, the focus and discussion will be on how SI-PASS can be implemented in secondary s
A prototype quasiparasitic thermal neutron beam monitor based on isotropic neutron scattering from a thin natural vanadium foil and standard He3 proportional counters is conceptualized, designed, simulated, calibrated, and commissioned. The European Spallation Source designed to deliver the highest integrated neutron flux originating from a pulsed source is currently under construction in Lund, Sw
By Marcelo Corrales Compagnucci, Janos Meszaros & Timo Minssen Empirical studies in behavioral economics have demonstrated how people are biased and often make poor decisions against their best interests. This has led policy makers to promote choice-preserving approaches, a.k.a. nudges. However, there has also been an increasingly vocal group of legal scholars who are interest in asking whethe
Changes in the geometry of ocean meridional overturning circulation (MOC) are crucial in controlling past changes of climate and the carbon inventory of the atmosphere. However, the accurate timing and global correlation of short-term glacial-to-deglacial changes of MOC in different ocean basins still present a major challenge. The fine structure of jumps and plateaus in atmospheric and planktic r
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the narrative tools in the modern Arabic poetry and take Al-baradony poetry as a model because it is a fertile field for academic studies and is as diverse as the curriculum to be studied by way of applications It has been studied in some respects and is still under taken for reasons. This study tries to examine the phenomenon of narrative style Al-b
Drugs of abuse possess the seemingly paradoxical property of conditioning rats to avoid from drinking a saccharin solution that had been predictively paired with their systemic administration (conditioned saccharin avoidance, CSA). CSA is dependent upon an intact dopamine (DA) transmission but the locus, central or peripheral, and eventually the brain area from which this effect originates and its
This study presents a spatial analysis of two regions in southern Iberia (Western Sierra Morena and Lands of Antequera) as a means to deepen our understanding of the Romanisation of the province Ulterior Baetica. Its theoretical foundations rely on the belief that human communities modify and adapt to their surroundings according to their changing needs (functional and symbolic, amongst many other
This is presentation of a research project that investigates the learning and teaching of Swedish folk music as it unfolds across different contexts of transmission. Studies have shown that spaces for the transmission of Swedish folk music involves many aspects of social life (von Wachenfeldt, 2015, Eriksson, 2017, Eriksson, 2019). At the same time other pragmatic factors frame the transmission ta
Responding effectively to climate change requires an understanding of what shapes people’s individual and collective sense of agency and responsibility towards the future. It also requires transforming this understanding into political engagement to support systems change. Based on a national representative survey in Sweden (N = 1,237), this research uses the novel SenseMaker methodology to look i
The hegemony of the private car is increasingly challenged as new policies and technologies affect passenger mobility. This study investigates how car-sharing is emerging and unfolding amidst established urban mobility practices. We apply a conceptual framework with seven elements based on social practice theories and transition literature to deconstruct practices in order to reveal how such (rela
Unseen Sights: Magic, Modernity, and Childhood in Children’s Urban Fantasy explores and analyses the genre of children’s urban fantasy. Drawing upon a combination of fantasy, urban fantasy, and children’s literature scholarship, the thesis considers how children’s urban fantasy works – investigating both its forms and functions, and how it performs work in the world.The genre is analysed both sync
The emergence of the modern urban water system in Iran, albeit facilitated access to clean water and accelerated discharge of waste- and stormwater, it left some negative imprints on country’s urban and natural environment. Among which larger stress on natural water cycles and pollution of water resources are of great importance. More importantly, such impacts are occurring when cities are going t
Objectives Peak exercise systolic blood pressure (SBP) is associated with future cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of different SBP patterns at the end of exercise with these outcomes. Methods We studied 6329 adults (45% women) referred for exercise testing, with test duration of 6-14 min, maximal effort and valid SBP measurements at the end of e
För att bekämpa den organiserade brottsligheten används, i Sverige och internationellt, provokativa åtgärder. Det innebär att en person provoceras av staten att begå brott eller att presentera bevis för tidigare begångna brott. Det föreligger dock en risk för att provokationer får personer att begå brott som de annars inte hade begått. Åtgärderna har då lett till att brott har tillförts samhället In order to fight organized crime, provocative investigative measures are widely used in Sweden and abroad. This means that a person is provoked by the state to commit a crime or to present evidence of past crimes. However, there is a risk that the police causes people to commit crimes that they otherwise would not have committed. The measures have then led to crimes being added to the community,
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Vad har berget i Romeleåsen varit med om? Jordskorpan är uppbyggd av ett antal plattor. Vid plattgränser under oceanerna bildas ny skorpa av magma som tränger upp. Oceanplattan kan inte öka i storlek. Där oceanplattan möter en platta med kontinental jordskorpa tränger oceanplattan under kontinentalplattan (subduktion, t. ex. Anderna). Vid kollisionen dras sedimeRomeleåsen is the south-westernmost exposure of the Fennoscandian Shield in Sweden. Fennoscandia forms a part of the East European Craton and was extended to the south-west during prolonged episodes of accretion during the period 1.95-1.55 Ga. Metamorphic reworking took at least place during the Hallandian/Danopolonian orogeny at 1.47-1.38 Ga and during the Sveconorwegian orogeny 1.10-0.92 Ga. Hig
Thesis purpose: In order to contribute to Consumer Culture Theory, as well as critical dimensions in the foodie literature namely authenticity, democracy/distinction and gender, the study’s aim is to explore how discourses and socio-cultural meanings underlie identity constructions in the specific sourdough culture. Theoretical framework: As no research addresses the sourdough phenomenon directly
