Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka lärares erfarenheter av att arbeta med läsning av tryckta texter och text på skärm. Vårt teoretiska ramverk utgår från vad läsning är samt hur olika medier påverkar läsning. Studien bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer med fyra lärare som undervisar i svenska för årskurs 7-9. Empirin analyseras enligt Brau...
In plants, the plasma membrane proton pump (PM H+-ATPase) regulates numerous transport-dependent processes such as growth, development, basic physiology, and adaptation to environmental conditions. This review explores the multifunctionality of this enzyme in plant cells. The abundance of several PM H+-ATPase isogenes and their pivotal role in ener...

A common explanation for processing limitations in dual-tasking is the existence of a bottleneck during response selection, meaning that the selection of responses can only occur serially for different tasks. However, a large body of data shows that features of a (secondary) Task 2 can already influence the processing of a (primary) Task 1. Such ef...

A study was carried out among 261 cancer patients to evaluate their cognitive function using the French version of a 37-item validated scale. Our results demonstrated that the tool is valid and reliable. Better cognition was noted in older patients compared with younger ones, and lower cognitive functioning was observed in patients with metastatic ...

Reading is increasingly taking place on digital media, which are vectors of attentional disruption. This manuscript aims to characterize attentional disruption during reading on a computer screen in an ecological environment. To this end, we collected information relating to reader interruptions (number, type, duration, position, mental effort, and...

Media use has been linked to sleep disturbance, but the results are inconsistent. This study explores moderating conditions. A media diary study with 58 free-living adults measured the time spent with media before bed, the location of use, and multitasking. Electroencephalography (EEG) captured bedtime, total sleep time, and the percent of time spe...

This study compared Romanian college students' off-task use of digital devices in online courses with their digital distractions in face-to-face courses. Students taking both online and face-to-face courses completed surveys assessing off-task use of technology in each delivery mode, extent to which such use constitutes a distraction, and instructo...
Boredom is a negative emotion commonly experienced in mundane situations. Boredom is thought to arise from a mismatch between individuals and their expectation for environmental stimulation. People attempt to reduce boredom by increasing the stimulation in their environment (e.g., turning on TV or music). Theories of boredom suggest external stimul...
