Abstract:
Focus groups provide users with valuable qualitative data not readily obtained with any other data-collection techniques. First developed for market researchers to determine the present or potential impact of a product or ser vice, focus groups also help administrators and developers gain information about programs, assess the effectiveness of healthcare and family-planning projects, design political campaigns, and evaluate graduate programs and research efforts, among other data-collection tasks. Business communication classes provide an excellent setting for learning about focus groups and putting such a process into practice.

Abstract:
Spelifiering innebär implementation av spelelement i icke-spelmiljöer. Målet med spelifiering är i många fall att öka användarens motivation till att genomföra en aktivitet. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur civilingenjörsstudenters motivation och fokus vid studier påverkas av att använda den spelifierade mobilapplikationen Focus Plant, vars syfte är att minska mobiltelefonanvändning under exempelvis studier. Spelifiering är ett relativt nytt fenomen som på senare år har fått uppmärksamhet då det hävdas kunna appliceras på allt från marknadsföring till inlärning och hälsa. Kritik har dock riktats mot bland annat begreppets vaghet, att det simplifierar teorier om hur motivation uppstår, och att forskningen ännu inte klargjort exakt hur spelifiering verkar. Med utgångspunkt i forskning om spelifiering och motivation undersöker denna studie effekten av en spelifierad applikation och hur väl implementering av olika spelelement fungerat. För att utreda detta fick 12 studenter under en period på två veckor testa Focus Plant. Efter testperioden hölls individuella intervjuer med samtliga deltagare för att samla data om hur applikationen uppfattats och dess påverkan på varje deltagares motivation och fokus. Resultatet av studien tyder på att vid användning av applikationen blev mobiltelefonen ett mindre störningsmoment. Studenterna blev däremot inte motiverade till att studera mer tack vare applikationen, men under ett studiepass kände de sig mer motiverade till att avsluta hela passet. Intervjusvaren tyder på att en möjlig förklaring till att fokuset förbättrades var att en timer och låsfunktion i Focus Plant fick studenterna att känna att de inte kunde lämna applikationen under studiepasset och därför använde de inte andra mobilapplikationer. Samtliga deltagare tyckte att många spelelement blev störande vilket kan vara en anledning till att de inte blev motiverade till att studera mer när de använde Focus Plant. Andra bidragande faktorer var att deltagarna upplevde belöningssystemet som otillräckligt och att många spelelement verkade motstridigt mot syftet. Vår slutsats är att spelifiering kan spela en roll i att påverka motivation och fokus, men för bästa resultat krävs att man i implementeringen av spelelement lägger vikt vid balansen mellan användarens inre och yttre motivation.
Gamification refers to the implementation of game elements in non-game environments. The goal of gamification is often to increase motivation to perform a task. The purpose of this study is to examine how motivation and focus among engineering students are affected by using the gamified mobile phone application Focus Plant. The purpose of Focus Plant is to reduce mobile phone usage during studies or work. Gamification is a relatively new concept and is expanding into different areas such as marketing, learning and well-being. Gamification has previously been criticized for being too general and for simplifying how motivation is created. The effects of gamification from previous research are still not clear. This study uses previous research about gamification and motivation to examine the effects of a gamified mobile application and how well the game elements have been implemented. To investigate this, 12 students tested Focus Plant while studying during a two week period. After the test period, individual interviews were held with each of the participating students to gather data on their experience with the application as well as its effects on their motivation and focus on their studies. The results of the study shows that by using the application, the mobile phone became somewhat less of a distraction. The students did not become motivated to study more, however they felt more motivated to finish a study session they had already started, when using the application. A timer and lock function were two features in the application that made the phone less of a distraction. According to the participants, these features made it feel like they could not do other things on the phone while the timer in Focus Plant was on. A common theme among all participants was that many of the game elements were distracting instead of motivating and encouraging. Other factors were that the participants felt that the reward system was insufficient and that some game elements were contradictory to the purpose of the application. Our conclusion is that gamification can affect both motivation and focus among students, but to achieve the best results it is important that the implementation of game elements pays attention to the balance between the user’s intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper reviews notions related to focus and presupposition and addresses the hypothesis that focus triggers an existential presupposition. Presupposition projection behavior in certain examples appears to favor a presuppositional analysis of focus. It is argued that these examples are open to a different analysis using givenness theory. Overall, the analysis favors a weak semantics for focus not including an existential presupposition.

Full text
Abstract:
The article puts forward a discourse-pragmatic approach to the notoriously evasive phenomena of contrastivity and emphasis. It is argued that occurrences of focus that are treated in terms of ‘contrastive focus’, ‘kontrast’ (Vallduví & Vilkuna 1998) or ‘identificational focus’ (É. Kiss 1998) in the literature should not be analyzed in familiar semantic terms like introduction of alternatives or exhaustivity. Rather, an adequate analysis must take into account discourse-pragmatic notions like hearer expectation or discourse expectability of the focused content in a given discourse situation. The less expected a given content is judged to be for the hearer, relative to the Common Ground, the more likely a speaker is to mark this content by means of special grammatical devices, giving rise to emphasis.

Abstract:
My photographic and craft works focus on the flowing forms of flowers; the delicate, ruffled edges of feathers; and the complex veining patterns of leaves. To highlight these natural elements I use a limited palette, often no more than two close value colors. My photographs are extreme close-ups and are referred to as macrophotography. The images are abstracted yet still hint at the organic original. In my crafts, which include jewelry, textiles, and books, I also use a reduced palette when presenting abstracted natural structures. I use a process-oriented approach to allow for repetitive tasks. The repetition is rewarding in both the calm it grants me and the meticulously created end result. My imagination wanders as my hands are engaged in crocheting for hours or when I am shooting a range of digital photographs. Within these media, I experiment with different techniques to create variety within my work and to build my skill-base as an artist and an art teacher.

Abstract:
Three dimensions can be distinguished in a cross-linguistic account of information structure. First, there is the definition of the focus constituent, the part of the linguistic expression which is subject to some focus meaning. Second and third, there are the focus meanings and the array of structural devices that encode them. In a given language, the expression of focus is facilitated as well as constrained by the grammar within which the focus devices operate. The prevalence of focus ambiguity, the structural inability to make focus distinctions, will thus vary across languages, and within a language, across focus meanings.

Full text
Abstract:
(Chadic), which exhibits a number of asymmetries: Grammatical focus marking is obligatory only with focused subjects, where focus is marked by the particle án following the subject. Focused subjects remain in situ and the complement of án is a regular VP. With nonsubject foci, án appears in a cleft-structure between the fronted focus constituent and a relative clause. We present a semantically unified analysis of focus marking in Bura that treats the particle as a focusmarking copula in T that takes a property-denoting expression (the background) and an individual-denoting expression (the focus) as arguments. The article also investigates the realization of predicate and polarity focus, which are almost never marked. The upshot of the discussion is that Bura shares many characteristic traits of focus marking with other Chadic languages, but it crucially differs in exhibiting a structural difference in the marking of focus on subjects and non-subject constituents.
