Words In the World: Vocabulary learning in and out of class.
This thesis examines how young people in Norway acquire English vocabulary in the classroom and extramurally. This study aims to discover proof that pupils learn vocabulary through extramural activities like films, television shows, and social media. In addition, this thesis inspects ways to bridge the gap between the classroom and extramural inputs to develop a better understanding of contemporary youth language
Geology of the Cenozoic Indus Basin sedimentary rocks : paleoenvironmental interpretation of sedimentation from the western Himalaya during the early phases of India-Eurasia collision.
This study reassesses the stratigraphy, sedimentology, and provenance of the Indus Basin sedimentary rocks, deposited within the Indus Tsangpo Suture Zone (ITSZ) during the early phases of IndiaâEurasia collision. Using field observations, biostratigraphy, and petrographic and isotopic analyses we create a paleodepositional reconstruction within the paleotectonic setting of the early phases of IndiaâEurasia collision. We then reâexamine existing constraints to the timing of IndiaâEurasia collision previously interpreted from the earliest occurrence of mixed Indianâ and Eurasianâderived detritus in the succession. From midâCretaceous to early Paleocene times the Jurutze and Sumda Formations were deposited within an arcâbounded marine basin between the Dras and KohistanâLadakh Island arcs. The <51 Ma aged deltaic Chogdo Formation then filled the basin until deposition of the 50.8â49.4 Ma aged Nummulitic Limestone during a marine incursion, before continental facies developed in an evolving intermountain basin with the deposition of the Paleogene Indus Group. Within these systems, sediment was sourced from the Eurasian margin to the north and was transported southward into the suture zone. In this section, we see no unequivocal evidence of Indian Plate input to the sedimentary succession (and thus no evidence of mixed IndianâEurasianâderived detritus indicative of IndiaâAsia collision) until the upper stratigraphic horizons of the Indus Group, when facies are representative of an axial, northwesterly flowing river system. We suggest that the paleoâIndus River was initiated within the ITSZ during late Oligoceneâearly Miocene times. Sedimentation of the Indus Group continued until the late Miocene

Safety assessment of 2âmethyloxolane as a food extraction solvent
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes and Processing Aids (CEP) assessed the safety of 2âmethyloxolane as an extraction solvent under the intended conditions of use and the maximum residue limits (MRLs) proposed by the applicant. 2âMethyloxolane is intended to be used in processes currently applying hexane for oil and protein extraction from plant sources or for extraction of food additives. The proposed MRLs for the following uses are: (i) 1âmg/kg in fat, oil or butter; (ii) 10âmg/kg in defatted protein products, defatted flour and other defatted solid ingredients; (iii) 1âmg/kg in food category 13 (foods intended for particular nutritional uses as defined by Directive 2009/39/EC); and (iv) 1âmg/kg for the extraction of food additives. The Panel calculated the dietary exposure with the highest potential maximum (95th percentile) for toddlers as 0.32âmg/kg body weight (bw) per day. Based on the available toxicological data, the Panel concluded that 2âmethyloxolane was rapidly metabolised with a low bioaccumulation potential and does not raise a concern for genotoxicity. The Panel identified different no observed adverse effect levels (NOAELs) in a subchronic oral toxicity study in rats, an oral developmental toxicity study and an extended oneâgeneration reproductive toxicity study, and a TDI of 1âmg/kg bw per day for 2âmethyloxolane was derived based on the lowest identified NOAEL (100âmg/kg bw per day) for reproductive and developmental toxicity. This TDI was not exceeded in any of the population groups at the mean and 95th percentile exposure. The Panel concluded that the extraction solvent 2âmethyloxolane does not raise a safety concern when used according to the intended conditions and at the proposed MRLs in the extracted foods or food ingredients
