Abstract:

This qualitative research study explores the use of television as text in adult literacy as a means of bridging orality and literacy. The reason for selecting television as an educational tool was to provide equal access to stories for both non-readers and readers of print, and the 22 research participants were required to complete a survey and participate in four 2-hour workshops, and a taped interview. During the workshops, participants learned to actively engage with the texts that were edited stories from the Canadian television series North of 60. The researcher included reading st

The growing international student population in post-secondary institutions in Canada calls for Academic Exchange Programs (AEPs) to focus on promoting reading skills of English as an Additional Language (EAL) students in order to help them read academic and non-academic texts more proficiently. The current study, conducted at a major western Canadian university, investigated the effectiveness of a computer-based software program called the Reading Tutor (RT) in enhancing the reading performance of EAL young adults.

Abstract:

The phenomenon of student voice, namely the institutionalisation of students’ contributions to the evaluation of higher education, is embedded into the daily business of universities. Activities relating to student voice such as national surveys, representation, complaints and protest are subject to considerable emotional, material, and financial investment by managers, academics and students. These developments have had profound effects on the everyday practices and discourses of academics and students alike, yet researchers have not yet explored their implications for the identities and subj

Voice onset time (VOT) är en akustisk tidsparameter som reflekterar den tidsmässiga samordningen av talmotoriken. VOT betraktas som det mest pålitliga akustiska kännetecknet på huruvida en klusil är tonlös eller tonande. Föreliggande studies syfte var att studera och jämföra VOT hos svenska barn (8, 9, 10, 11 år) och vuxna för att se hur utvecklingen sker samt för att ta fram svenska normvärden. Ljudinspelningar genomfördes på 150 barn och 36 vuxna vid uttal av de svenska klusilerna i minimala par. Akustiska analyser av materialet utfördes sedan. Resultatet visade att de tonlösa klusilerna för

Abstract:

Notch3, récepteur exprimé dans les cellules musculaires lisses (CML), est impliqué dans la maturation des artères de résistance. La délétion de Notch3 aggrave les atteintes cardiaques induites par une hypertension artérielle (HTA), mais les mécanismes impliqués sont inconnus. Mes objectifs étaient de déterminer le rôle de la voie Notch3 dans le myocarde lors du remodelage cardiovasculaire induit par une surcharge de pression ou de débit. Nous avons étudié l'impact de l'absence de Notch3 lors l'HTA induite par l'Angiotensine II via deux modèles de souris (1- Notch3 KO et 2- invalidation induite

The main goal of this project was to enhance the use and usability of Interactive Voice Response Systems (IVR) for older people. The objective of study one was to examine older people’s perceptions of the technology and identify the most common difficulties experienced by older people when interactive with IVR using focus groups. Twenty-six people aged 65 and older took part in the study. Data were analyzed using frequency and chi square analyses. The results revealed negative attitudes towards the technology.
