Language and Literacy : Some fundamental issues in research on reading and writing

Abstract in Norwegian Hovudlina i forskinga på lesing og skriving byggjer på tanken om at talt språk på alle vesentlege punkt er primært i høve til skrive språk. Omgrepsapparatet for studiet av språk og lese- og skrivedugleik er også bygd kring denne tanken. Dette er problematisk frå eit vitskapsteoretisk standpunkt sidan tanken om det talte språket sin dominans ikkje er tilstrekkeleg empirisk undMainstream research on reading and writing is based on the assumption, common in modern linguistics, that spoken language is primary to written language in most important respects. Unfortunately, the conceptual framework for the study of language and 'literacy' (encompassing both reading and writing skills) is built around this assumption. This is problematic with regard to the philosophy of scien

Real-time real-sky dual-conjugate adaptive optics experiment

The current status of a real-time real-sky dual-conjugate adaptive optics experiment is presented. This experiment is a follow-up on a lab experiment at Lund Observatory that demonstrated dual-conjugate adaptive optics on a static atmosphere. The setup is to be placed at Lund Observatory. This means that the setup will be available 24h a day and does not have to share time with other instruments.

Experimentera hemma med utrustningen i universitetens övningslaboratorier

Blekinge Tekniska Högskola, BTH, har öppnat ett övningslaboratorium för ellära och elektronik för fjärrstyrning och håller på att öppna ett fjärrstyrbart signalbehandlingslaboratorium för vibrationsanalys. Ett unikt användargränssnitt gör det möjligt att från valfri plats styra och manövrera experimentutrustningen på samma sätt som i laboratorielokalerna. Allt som behövs är Internetansluten PC med

Labor Supply Responses to New Rural Pension Insurances in China: A Regression Discontinuity Approach

Transitioning into retirement is an under-researched phenomenon in developing countries. Largely, this is linked to a predominance of contexts where –in particular –the rural population remains outside the coverage of any formal pension system. In 2008, China introduced the New Rural Social Pension (NRSP), a program which by now covers the majority of the Chinese rural elderly. This paper examines

A case study on the transformation from proprietary to open source software

Many large companies, from the traditionally proprietary software industry, are opening up and embracing the open source software (OSS) development process model as a part of their business strategy. Despite the recognized potential the OSS community offers, there are still many questions and unknowns about the transition process. We present an extensive analysis of static software quality metric
