Motivation can be a decisive factor in students’ learning of a foreign language. At the same time, motivation is complex, dynamic, and context sensitive (Papi & Hiver, 2020). Language teachers encounter a wide spectrum of motivational profiles among their students and need to understand the motivation process to find strategies to address students' varying levels of motivation at a given time.
BACKGROUND: Numerous studies report that education and exercise interventions can shift people's willingness to undergo joint replacement surgery for osteoarthritis. We aimed to investigate whether becoming unwilling to undergo surgery following an education and exercise intervention for hip and knee osteoarthritis is associated with lower probability of receiving actual surgery.METHODS AND FINDIN
Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly emerged as a transformative technology across various disciplines. However, its widespread adoption is accompanied by numerous myths, which are fueled by limited public understanding and can significantly shape how individuals perceive and interact with AI, often leading to negative consequences such as misunderstanding, fear, or resistance. Despite the imp
Numerous studies have been carried out in recent years on the use of virtual reality (VR) technologies and environments in education. On the other hand, many researchers have drawn attention to the inadequacy of studies that deal with the education process in virtual reality environments from a broad perspective. In this research, the process of designing, developing, and testing an educational vi
Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that offers near real-world experiences in various fields. With the widespread use of virtual environments designed to provide VR experiences, the amount of data collected from these environments has increased rapidly. However, as the volume of data grows, there is a need to develop analysis processes and advance the data-driven development model. In this study
This manuscript investigates the relationships among various performance metrics in a virtual reality (VR), namely frames per second (FPS), latency, batches, and the number of triangles (tris) and vertices (verts). The study aims to uncover correlations and directional associations between these metrics, shedding light on their impact on VR performance. The findings reveal a significant correlatio
This book chapter examines the technology integration skills of future school psychology counselors and their implementation process in real-world instructional technology settings. Using a convergent parallel mixed-method design, 36 first-year Guidance and Psychological Counseling students participated. Data collection tools included the demographic information and course expectations form, the T
This book chapter examines the integration of virtual reality and artificial intelligence technologies in the field of education. While the integration of AI-based content, analysis, and feedback systems into educational VR environments presents a significant opportunity, it also brings various challenges, including privacy, data security, social equity, and ethical issues. The chapter addresses t
Abstract på SpanskaEl artículo aborda el fenómeno del cambio lingüístico a través del aumento del uso de anglicismos en el español contemporáneo. Se fundamenta en la idea de que el significado lingüístico de los anglicismos incluye tanto elementos ideacionales como interpersonales en términos de Halliday (1973). El objetivo es analizar, desde una perspectiva diacrónica y sociolingüística, la incorThe article addresses the phenomenon of linguistic change through the increasing use of Anglicisms in contemporary Spanish. It is grounded in the idea that the linguistic meaning of Anglicisms encompasses both ideational and interpersonal elements, as outlined by Halliday (1973). The objective is to analyze the incorporation of following four Anglicisms in the Spanish-speaking world from a diachro
The publication takes the shape of an anthology, and delves into different approaches and methods for sharing the knowledge created through performing arts processes. Through interviews, essays and reflections, it explores, among other things, why sharing knowledge can break down hierarchies and expand the narrrative of what an art practice can be. It asks how we can hold onto lived knowledge and
The concept of ‘ageing in place’, understood as enabling older adults to remain in their own homes as long as possible, has gained significant attention in policy discussions worldwide. This study aimed to explore the ideologies and strategies behind this concept through a Fairclough-inspired discourse analysis of a Norwegian white paper titled ‘Fellesskap og meistring. Bu trygt heime’ [Community
Sweden is a country that prides itself on its mining tradition, contributions to European self-sufficiency and, more recently, its steel transition. It focuses its greening efforts on decarbonizing and automating the steel industry. Meanwhile, destructive impacts on land and biodiversity are largely overlooked. Drawing on the literature on extractivism and on psychoanalytical conceptual literature
Genom projektet har vi har strukturerat ett digitalt vårdförlopp som inte bara förbättrar tillgängligheten och flexibiliteten för patienter i palliativ vård, utan även ger närstående ett bättre stöd och underlättar kommunikationen med vården. Projektet syftar till att införa fler digitala vårdlösningar i den palliativa öppenvården genom 1177.se-plattformen, och därmed stärka vårdens strategiska må
Denna rapport undersöker sambandet mellan inkomstskatter och innovation i Sverige, med särskilt fokus på "århundradets skattereform" 1990/91. Rapporten innehåller även en omfattande litteraturgenomgång som identifierar centrala mekanismer genom vilka skatter påverkar innovation. Dessa mekanismer inkluderar skatteincitament för investeringar i forskning och utveckling (FoU), samt individers ansträn
We present recent results in the field of total binding energy calculations, Landщ factors, quantum electrodynamics corrections and lifetime that are of interest for ion traps and ion sources. We describe in detail MCDF and RMBPT calculation of ionic binding energies, which are needed for the determination of atomic masses from highly charged ion measurements. We also show new results concerning L
