Use of static program analysis tools can be highly beneficial in software development, but usage is hindered by usability issues. One method to better understand these issues is to gather user feedback, but it is challenging to get developers to invest effort in giving user feedback.In this paper, we investigate whether gamification can increase user engagement in feedback collection on static ana
The combined effect of two real-world-occurring phenomena: ‘measurement errors’ and ‘autocorrelation between observations’ has rarely been investigated. In this paper, it will be investigated for the first time on ‘adaptive’ and/or ’simultaneous monitoring’ charts and also for the first time by using the multivariate linearly covariate measurement errors and VARMA (vector mixed autoregressive and
Irony is a heavily context-dependent pragmatic phenomenon. But what is it about context that facilitates or blocks irony comprehension? Based on the echoic account, we suggest that a context facilitates irony comprehension when it makes manifest a speaker's intentions and attitude, i.e., when a context makes it easy for participants to engage their mindreading abilities. In two pre-registered self
This article presents the notion of ‘civil society hospitality’, addressing welcoming initiatives that open spaces and provide services to unaccompanied youth in Malmö. The article contributes to the literature on bottom-up humanitarianism and focuses on hospitality practices and their limits. Through semi-structured interviews with key civil society actors and attending key events, the article ar
Bakgrund: Den kurativa behandlingen för resektabla lokalt avancerade stadier av cancer i munhålan innefattar i regel en kombination av kirurgi och radioterapi (RT). Huruvida RT bör ges först och därefter följas av kirurgi, eller om tumören bör opereras bort först, följt av RT postoperativt, har dock inte studerats i någon större omfattning.Syfte: Denna avhandling undersöker olika aspekter av pre- Background: The curatively intended treatment for resectable locally advanced stages of oral cavity cancer (OCC) generally involves a combination of surgery and radiotherapy (RT). However, whether to apply RT first and then proceed with surgery, or to resect the cancer and subsequently administer RT, has not been extensively studied. Aims: This thesis examines various aspects of pre- versus postop
A diagonalisation procedure of the Foldy-Wouthuysen type is considered for the single-electron Dirac Hamiltonian as a basis for many-body applications. A modified procedure is suggested. In the diagonalisation procedure the Dirac equation is completely decoupled into two equations of the Pauli type. The expressions for positive- and negative-energy projection operators in the transformed basis are
Cooperation and competition are both essential elements of economic life. Here we explore how cooperativeness in a prisoner's dilemma correlates with competitiveness in a sample of 9–12 years old children in Colombia and Sweden. Using two different measures and four different tasks for competitiveness, we find no consistent relationship between cooperativeness and competitiveness. However, we find
Some young foreign/second language (L2) learners of English hardly know a single English word when starting school instruction. Others know many thanks to extensive English use outside of school, extramural English (EE). By investigating young L2 learners’ vocabulary knowledge at the onset of formal instruction, we can explore what roles EE may have for incidental learning prior to instruction. To
The precipitation behavior, especially the early nucleation stages, of the industrial strip-cast Al3003 alloys was investigated by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). An icosahedral quasicrystalline phase was found as secondary particles in these strip-cast alloys after heat treatment for a few seconds. Three different nucleation paths are proposed based on the TEM observations. They hav
Context. Exoplanets with orbital periods of less than one day are known as ultra-short period (USP) planets. They are relatively rare products of planetary formation and evolution processes, but especially favourable for characterisation with current planet detection methods. At the time of writing, 125 USP planets have already been confirmed. Aims. Our aim is to validate the planetary nature of t
Evaluation methods are vital tools to support learning and ensure quality in crisis response management (CRM), they provide systematic feedback in situations where it is difficult to understand how separate factors affect the outcome of an event. In this paper, the scoping study methodology is used to examine the range and nature of methods available for evaluating CRM performance. The methods are
Migration is a psychosocial challenge, and migrants' transitory experiences in host countries are shaped by a combination of linked environmental factors. The absence of social aspects of resilience, as well as disciplinary limitations and biases, hinder the methodological rigor and flexibility needed to investigate social resilience as a phenomenon that occurs at the intersection of social, cultu
Variable selection properties of procedures utilizing penalized-likelihood estimates is a central topic in the study of high-dimensional linear regression problems. Existing literature emphasizes the quality of ranking of the variables by such procedures as reflected in the receiver operating characteristic curve or in prediction performance. Specifically, recent works have harnessed modern theory
Breast reconstruction is a given choice for many women following mastectomy. There are a multitude of methods available today, and thus, comparative studies are essential to match patients with suitable methods. The aim of this study was to compare 5-year outcomes following delayed breast reconstruction with expander prosthesis (EP) and with deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps. Sevent
