Göran’s constant attention, curiosity and acumen were a treat that sustained me from beginning to end, and they will continue to do so for the future. The work on this dissertation might never have begun were it not for the encouragement I received many years prior from Sara Danius, my second advisor. I much appreciated the support, intellectual as well as material, of the Re- search School of Aesthetics, Stockholm University, and of my fellow gradu- ates. My home department, the Department of Literature and History of Ideas, did everything to make my studies and peregrinations easier. Special thanks go to Hannah Hinz, colleague and friend, who graciously helped me navigate a rough patch. If the four chapters of this dissertation vary in style and approach, it is because they were initially written as a series of five articles that only gradu- ally grew into a system. I am indebted to the venues where these articles are published or forthcoming, and to their editors and reviewers for helpful ad- vice. The individual publications are acknowledged at the beginning of each chapter. Over the years, parts of this dissertation were presented at conferences and other events in Amsterdam, Leuven, Montreal, Örebro, Oslo, Oxford, Prague, St. Louis, and Stockholm. The audiences gave me useful feedback. Greger Andersson carefully read the entire manuscript and helped me avoid several pitfalls. A conversation with Martin Pokorný resulted in late changes to Chapter 1. In earlier stages, Michael Kimmel and Mikael Pettersson pro- vided comments on Chapter 2. Helena Bodin, Maria Forsberg, Alice Jedličková and Erik van Ooijen commented on Chapter 3. I wish to thank these people, as well as many others who contributed to my work, for their time and intellectual rigor. While working on this project I was fortunate to receive scholarships from Nordplus, the Karl and Betty Warburg Fund, and the Swedish Founda- tion for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education. The latter, in conjunction with a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada to Marisa Bortolussi and Peter Dixon, enabled me to pay a longer visit to the world of empirical cognitive science. I am grateful to the Department of Psychology and the Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies, University of Alberta, and especially to my hosts and collaborators Marisa and Peter who helped me set up an experi- ment and make my visit truly productive. The history of this dissertation spans five countries and two continents. In an embryonic form, some of the ideas first emerged during an M.A. fellow- ship at the University of Oslo, 2007. My Ph.D. fellowship at Stockholm University 2008-2013 made it possible for me to pursue them. Chapter 2 was written in Copenhagen 2009. Most of the preparatory work for Chapter 3 was carried out at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, 2011. The entire Chapter 4 was written at my home university in Stockholm 2012.

Sample Client Page 1 Interpretive Report 05/12/2017 Overview of This Report The Feifer Assessment of Reading (FAR) is an individually administered measure of reading ability normed for students in prekindergarten through college. The FAR contains individual tests of reading skills which are combined to form a Phonological Index (PI), a Fluency Index (FI), and a Comprehension Index (CI). The subtests which compose the PI assess phonological processing and decoding skills of words in isolation as well as in context. The FI is comprised of subtests that assess visual perception and orthographic processing of letters and words, as well as fluidity in pronouncing phonologically-irregular words. The CI contains subtests designed to assess the underlying factors involved in deriving meaning from print. The Mixed Index (MI), calculated by combining the PI and the FI, assesses for deficits in both phonological processing and orthographic processing skills. The FAR Total Index (TI), calculated by combining the PI, FI, and CI subtests, provides the most comprehensive and reliable assessment of overall reading proficiency. Each index score is expressed as a grade-corrected standard score scaled to a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

Proprietary Aspects of Commercial Remote-Sensing Imagery PatrickA. Salin * I. INTRODUCTION Remote-sensing is performed by sensors on board a satellite which is usually placed on a low polar orbit so that it may vertically scan the Earth while the Earth is revolving around its axis. Remote-sensing en- ables a very high altitude view of the areas which are covered and since it always follows the same path in a circular movement which is perpendic- ular to the rotation of the Earth, it covers the whole Earth after a few rotations. For example, US Landsat satellites, the initiator in the field, circle the globe fourteen times a day at a 920 km circular and sun-synchronous orbit,1 with a 200 km wide swath.' Their repeat coverage at the Equator is 18 days.3 Resolution of Landsat imagery is 30 m. (i.e. the size of the smallest object which can be identifiable on the basis of picture elements or "pixels"), within a standard image of 185 km by 170 km.

Instead, he holds that to speak of cultural diversity is to suggest that difference is only possible on the level of concepts and vocabulary, stories and beliefs, and to assume that there are objectively knowable truths about the material world that are immune to variation (Inquiry 20).

  • ELEMENTS of FICTION – NARRATOR / NARRATIVE VOICE Fundamental Literary Terms That Indentify Components of Narratives “Fiction
    Dr. Hallett ELEMENTS OF FICTION – NARRATOR / NARRATIVE VOICE Fundamental Literary Terms that Indentify Components of Narratives “Fiction” is defined as any imaginative re-creation of life in prose narrative form. All fiction is a falsehood of sorts because it relates events that never actually happened to people (characters) who never existed, at least not in the manner portrayed in the stories. However, fiction writers aim at creating “legitimate untruths,” since they seek to demonstrate meaningful insights into the human condition. Therefore, fiction is “untrue” in the absolute sense, but true in the universal sense. Critical Thinking – analysis of any work of literature – requires a thorough investigation of the “who, where, when, what, why, etc.” of the work. Narrator / Narrative Voice Guiding Question: Who is telling the story? …What is the … Narrative Point of View is the perspective from which the events in the story are observed and recounted. To determine the point of view, identify who is telling the story, that is, the viewer through whose eyes the readers see the action (the narrator). Consider these aspects: A. Pronoun p-o-v: First (I, We)/Second (You)/Third Person narrator (He, She, It, They] B. Narrator’s degree of Omniscience [Full, Limited, Partial, None]* C. Narrator’s degree of Objectivity [Complete, None, Some (Editorial?), Ironic]* D. Narrator’s “Un/Reliability” * The Third Person (therefore, apparently Objective) Totally Omniscient (fly-on-the-wall) Narrator is the classic narrative point of view through which a disembodied narrative voice (not that of a participant in the events) knows everything (omniscient) recounts the events, introduces the characters, reports dialogue and thoughts, and all details.

  • Imagery in the Journals Written by the Writing I Students of the English Department of Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya
    Imagery in the Journals Written by the Writing I Students Of the English Department Of Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya Nonce Trisnawaty Abstract. Many students think that writing is a daunting task and, therefore, they cannot write a good composition and journal writing is assigned for writing improvement. One of the aspects in writing a journal is imagery. Imagery is the use of concrete words to replace the abstract ones in order to enable the readers to imagine in everything experienced by the author. This study explored the kinds of imagery which are found in the journals written by the Writing I students of Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya. The subjects were eleven students of Writing I. Each student submitted 4 journals. A checklist was used to organize the imagery in the journals. Not all writing journals that were analyzed exposed imagery. Visual and auditory imagery were found. There were forty seven examples of visual imagery and six examples of auditory imagery. The olfactory, gustatory and tactile imagery were not found. Key words: imagery, journal, writing I class Introduction Writing is a way in which people can communicate thoughts and feelings with others graphemically. It is a complex process of language communication and also a creative thinking process (Zuo Huangqi, 2002, p. 197). Hansen (2006) states that writing skills can be the ticket to better college grades and greater academic achievement, even if the students do not study harder and know the material better than others do. Writing allows students to keep permanent records such as journals, and it lets students demonstrate their knowledge on an examination.

D. Academic Year 2018 ABSTRACT Readability has long been regarded as a significant aspect in English language teaching as it provides the overall picture of a text’s difficulty level, especially in the context of teaching and testing. Readability is a practical consideration when making decisions on materials to match a text with target readers’ proficiency. A suitable difficulty level will ensure that students receive the most benefit from the materials. However, few studies have compared the readability levels of teaching and testing materials in terms of the difficulty of passages. The present study, therefore, aims to explore the readability of reading passages in English textbooks and Thai national English tests based on three aspects: readability level, linguistic characteristics, and topic areas.

We aimed at investigating Emotion regulation the role of basic cognitive functions, cognitive biases, and symptom severity in alexithymia among patients with Cognitive distortions schizophrenia. Sixty patients (31 females) with schizophrenia were assessed with standardized clinical inter- Cognition views for symptom severity. Cognitive functioning was assessed with neuropsychological tests. A self-report Psychosis scale (Davos Assessment of Cognitive Biases, DACOBS), as well as two experimental tasks assessing jumping to Hallucinations conclusions (the Fish task) and source monitoring (Action memory task), were used to investigate cognitive biases. Alexithymia was assessed with the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). Alexithymia was related to the severity of hallucinations but not delusions. Patients with a lifetime history of more psychotic symptoms had higher alexithymia. Alexithymia has broad relationships with different cognitive biases, especially in the self- reported measure.

Standard 10 of the Common Core State Standards: Examining three assumptions about text complexity. In K. Goodman, R.C. Calfee, & Y. Goodman (Eds.), Whose Knowledge Counts in Government Literacy Policies? New York, NY: Routledge. 2 Elfrieda H. Hiebert www.textproject.org Fundamental Premises ¡ An emphasis on increasing students’ capacity with increasingly more complex text across their school careers is one of the goals of reading instruction. Attention to this goal is long overdue. The students who most depend on schools for academic learning can and should be reading much more complex texts. ¡ AND….Whenever a new set of mandates is enacted quickly, especially when the scholarship for an area is scant (and the developers of the mandates do not have grounding in the existing scholarship), potential for misinterpretation can be great. 3 Elfrieda H. Hiebert www.textproject.org Three Assumptions on Text Complexity 1. Readability formulas provide sufficiently valid information to guide selections for instruction and assessment. 2. Text levels need to be accelerated at all levels to ensure college/career readiness. 3. Students at all levels can be rapidly stretched to read harder texts. 4 Elfrieda H. Hiebert www.textproject.org Assumption 1: Readability formulas provide sufficiently valid assessments of text complexity that they can be used as a guide for selections in instruction and assessment. ¡ “quantitative measures should identify the college- and career-ready reading level as one endpoint of the scale.

  • About This Program
    1 ABOUT THIS PROGRAM A child listens to a direction, a lecture, a conversation, or a story, yet does not completely understand what is heard. Bits and pieces are recalled-maybe the first thing that was said, maybe the last. At times, the information is remembered, but misconstrued.Inc. The speech sig~ nal may not have been heard clearly. Perhaps the temporal concepts are confusing to the child. The child's reading, spelling, and writing skills may be weak. After a while, the child may "tune out" when people are talking. These are the hallmark behaviors of a child with an auditory processing disorder. While the evaluation process affords the clinician the opportunityPRO-ED, to quantify the child's present level of performance on a variety of standardized tasks, it also should provide the cli~ nician a window into how the child is approaching auditoryby tasks. After studying available re~ search and years of carefully comparing the testing behaviors of children with above average L auditory skills with those of children scoring poorly on auditory tests, I have compiled a list of behavioral differences in the way these two groups of children approach challenging auditory l testing tasks (see Table 1). Examples of challengingmaterial listening tasks include following complex oral directions and listening to orally presented passages and then answering comprehension L questions. As noted in Table 1, children with good auditory processing skills seem to naturally use strategies such as controlling their body, paraphrasing, subvocalizing, visualizing, and request~ l ing clarification during demanding auditory tasks, whereas children with poor auditory processing skills often docopyrighted not.
