Abstract:
The English language has become an international language and is globally used as a lingua franca. Therefore, there has been a shift in English-language education toward teaching English as an interna-tional language (EIL). Teaching from the EIL paradigm means that English is seen as an international language used in communication by people from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. As the approach to English-language education changes from the traditional native-speaker, target country context, so does the role of culture within English-language teaching.

Abstract:
Studying a subject is central to understanding its behavior and what it has learned. In this thesis, we study specific aspects of five representation learning systems for natural language processing tasks. Representation learning systems are a type of machine learning system dedicated to learn representations of data suitable for other machine learning systems, such as classifiers, to operate upon them. Thus, understanding the behavior of and the abilities learned by representation learning systems is crucial for improving the results on the tasks they are used. The aspects on which we focus a

Abstract:
The dissertation presents the design and development of a systematic signal analysis and representation framework beyond short-time Fourier power spectrum for sounds, in particular environmental sounds. This framework is consistent with the underlying assumptions of the analysis method and its elements are correlated with human perception. The sound signal has to conform to certain conditions for its power spectrum to have a physical and perceptual meaning. We contend that very few environmental sounds readily meet these criteria and argue that the quantities that are traditionally used to des

Abstract:
The Iban of Sarawak, East Malaysia, are the inhabitants of a vast equatorial rain forest which not only plays a crucial role in satisfying their material needs, but also provides them with a rich source of imagery for the portrayal of key cultural concerns and social values.

Often these 'sacred' and 'profane' aspects of the plant world coincide, as in the case of Iban rice farming which both provi

Four-dimensional variational data assimilation (4D-Var) provides an estimate to the state of a dynamical system through the minimization of a cost functional that measures the distance to a prior state (background) estimate and observations over a time window.
