1. An online study of L2 relative clause processing: Evidence from self-paced reading in Persian learners of English
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskapSammanfattning : This study examines relative clause (RC) processing in Persian learners of English and native speakers of English to explore whether or how different task demands, referential context information with three potential RC antecedents along with the variables noun type (definite, indefinite), RC length (short, long) and RC type (extraposed, non-extraposed) affect their processing, using both an online non-cumulative self-paced reading task and an offline questionnaire. In the self-paced reading task, the online processing of RC attachment resolution was examined when participants read temporarily ambiguous sentences with RCs preceded by one clause or two clauses containing three NPs followed by comprehension questions to explore L2 RC attachment preferences.

2. Mapping Sweden’s regional food strategies : An analysis of resilience and food security
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : Global changes such as climate change and population growth, and unexpected shocks and stresses such as natural disasters, and economic and political crises, are factors leading to an increased pressure on the food system. In order to approach these issues, the concept of resilience may be used, looking at how well the system is able to withstand and adapt to changes over time and provide food security during such crises.

3. Cognitive Load Theory as a Predictor for Citation Count
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologiSammanfattning : The purpose of this study is to examine if the cognitive load that is induced from different degrees of text complexity in scientific abstracts has an influence on how often the study will get cited. While the influence of cognitive load is well documented in research of activities such as attention allocation, decision making and reading comprehension, it is not known whether such effects can also be applied to more complex activities, such as whether a scientific paper will be influential (or not).

4. Modelling Immediate Serial Recall using a Bayesian Attractor Neural Network
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Sammanfattning : In the last decades, computational models have become useful tools for studying biological neural networks. These models are typically constrained by either behavioural data from neuropsychological studies or by biological data from neuroscience. LÄS MER
5. Datorbaserad fonologisk lästräning för barn med hörselnedsättning : En undersökning av fonologisk medvetenhet och ordavkodning
Magister-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/LogopediSammanfattning : Randomized controlled trials evaluating the effect of various forms of literacy training with reliable tests are lacking in Sweden today. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether a cross-over design and the use of phonologically matched wordlists specifically designed to detect transfer, would yield a more thorough method and reliable results.
