4. 3. Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Fluid Structure Interaction Problems with Applications to Human Phonation

   Författare :Niyazi Cem Degirmenci; Johan Hoffman; Johan Jansson; David Nordsletten; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fluid Structure Interaction; Finite Element Method; Contact Modeling; Acoustic Coupling; High Performance Computing; Tillämpad matematik och beräkningsmatematik; Applied and Computational Mathematics;

   Sammanfattning : This work presents a unified framework for numerical solution of Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) and acoustics problems with focus on human phonation. The Finite Element Method is employed for numerical investigation of partial differential equations that model conservation of momentum and mass. LÄS MER

5. 4. Computerized achievement tests : sequential and fixed length tests

   Författare :Marie H. Wiberg; Hans Nyquist; Ulf Olsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistics; item respons theory; sequential analysis; statistical inference; power; optimal design; simulations; Statistik; Statistics; Statistik; Statistics; statistik;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this dissertation is to describe how a computerized achivement test can be constructed and used in practice. Throughout this dissertation the focus is on classifying the examinees into masters and non-masters depending on their ability. However, there has been no attempt to estimate their ability. LÄS MER

7. 5. Immigrant students' opportunities to learn mathematics : In(ex)clusion in mathematics education

   Författare :Petra Svensson Källberg; Eva Norén; Paul Andrews; Anna Chronaki; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mathematics education; immigrant students; narratives; learning opportunities; foregrounds; identity; policy texts; fabrication; deficit perspective; discourse; power; matematikämnets didaktik; Mathematics Education;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis explores immigrant students’ opportunities to learn mathematics. The research is concerned with issues of social justice and adopts a socio-political approach. Immigrant students are often described as students who do poorly in school because they lack “Swedishness” and have insufficient Swedish language skills. LÄS MER
