Depression is one of the most common health problems worldwide but is often undertreated. Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) appears to be an effective treatment option, with the potential to reach a larger proportion of individuals suffering from depression. While many studies have examined the efficacy of ICBT for depression in randomized controlled trials, fewer have focused

BackgroundParkinson's disease (PD) management comprises of drug treatments, surgery, and physical activity/occupational therapies to relieve PD's symptoms. The aim of this study is twofold; first, to appraise recent economic evaluation studies on PD management in order to update the existing knowledge; and second, to facilitate decision making on PD management by assessing the cost‐effectiveness o

What happens in a science classroom where students are engaged and how do teachers observe andinterpret student engagement? This article highlights teachers’ perspective on students’ engagement in science education and to what extent it is connected to the scientific content. This approach complements earlier research which focuses mostly on students’ attitude towards science education and their i

This dissertation is concerned with extraction from adjunct clauses in Swedish and English. The topic is of interest because adjunct clauses are traditionally considered to be strong islands for extraction across languages (the Adjunct Condition). However, the purported universality of the island status of adjuncts has been challenged by claims that Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish allow extraction

In English Language Teaching in Sweden, the entextualized ideology is monolingual, i.e., English Only (Hult, 2017; Lundahl, 2012). Evidence from a large-scale classroom observation study (Swedish Schools Inspectorate, 2011) and a smaller-scale classroom-interaction study (Authors 3 & 4 2016) reveals a de facto bilingual policy of both English and Swedish enacted in classrooms, however. As stud

With the over-arching aim of contributing to the development of evidence-based teaching practices, this colloquium provides a forum for scholars doing research on language practices in the teaching of English as a foreign/second language (L2) in mainstream schools in Scandinavia. In Sweden, the English teaching profession has long been guided by monolingual, English Only, ideology, particularly at

A pressing issue in multilingual education is when to draw on students’ entire multilingual repertoires to enhance learning and promote equity (Cummins 2017; Kramsch 2009). Classroom research on the learning of L2 English supports multilingual/translanguaging practices (Lee & Macaro 2013; Zhang 2018), but much of this research involves students who had acquired the same L1 prior to having clas

För att undersöka och utvärdera temperaturfördelningar och efterföljande lastfall i betongkonstruktioner kan exempelvis temperatursimuleringar användas. Sådana simuleringar har gjorts i flera tidigare studier med hjälp av väderdata som mätts upp i närheten av den konstruktion som studeras. Denna metod har dock begränsningar i och med att viktiga klimatparametrar som globalstrålning och långvågig sTo study and evaluate temperature distributions and subsequent load cases in concrete structures it is common to use thermal simulations. Such simulations have been performed in multiple previous studies using weather data measured in the vicinity of the studied object. However, this method has limitations, since important factors such as solar radiation and longwave heat radiation are only measur
