UAS Exam- ENGLISH LANGUAGE SKILLS

PART A
Read the text and then answer the questions (A1-A5) concerning the bolded expressions as
instructed. Choose one alternative per question. The main historic (A1) trajectory in property
rights to land was the development of more exclusive rights by the dissolution of (A2) common
property. In the Swedish lap marks, the opposite occurred, and by the end of the nineteenth
century, the old system with privately assigned land finally disappeared when Samis (A3)
obtained lawful common user rights to large areas for reindeer herding. Earlier research focused
on the role of the state. We bring together three previously rather neglected perspectives-self-
governance, ecology, and the functionality of large-scale reindeer nomadism to explain changes
in property rights. By analyzing how Samis from two types of villages in Lule Lappmark using
different ecological settings between 1550 and 1780, we show that the older property-rights
system (A4) dissolved due to the emergence of large-scale reindeer nomadism. Grazing land
became one of the most valued economic (A5) assets, and a common-property regime evolved.

PART B

Read the text and, based on the text, state whether each of the statements (B1-B6) below the
text is true or false. Excluded text is indicated by a set of square brackets with three dots placed
between them [...].The ability to taste is important for enjoying eating and maintaining health
[....] However, the tastes we perceive are influenced not only by the characteristics of the food
and beverages themselves but also by the various contexts in which they are consumed. In fact,
several research studies have reported that sound affects taste sensation. For example, Zampini
and Spence (2004) verified that amplifying the loudness of the sound heard when biting potato
chips or emphasizing high-frequency sounds increased the perception of freshness and
crispness. Wang and Spence (2016) found that the sweetness of mixed fruit juice was enhanced
by listening to consonant soundtracks, and its sourness was enhanced by listening to dissonant
soundtracks. In addition, many wine marketers are currently using this multisensory perception
in their marketing.Concerning the association between vision and taste, it has been reported
that the flavor of strawberry mousse was perceived as sweeter and more intense when served
on a white plate than when the same mousse was served on a black plate. A study on beetroots
determined they were rated as less sweet when their presentation was angular (i.e., three
pieces of beetroot were cut into pyramids and displayed so as to form a triangle) on a square
plate, when compared with a rounded presentation (i.e., three pieces of beetroot were cut in
half-spheres and displayed in a circle); the same beetroots on a round plate resulted in the
perception of sweeter flavor. Taken together, these findings indicate that the perception of taste
can change depending on contextual factors.One of these factors seems to be the emotional
states people experience in their daily lives. Mattar et al. (2019) found that participants who
watched a violent movie consumed more fatty and salty foods than participants who watched a
non-violent movie. A recent study showed that seeing pleasant visual stimuli, such as a child's
smile, can increase the perception of sweetness; conversely, seeing unpleasant stimuli, such as a
crying face, can increase the perception of sourness. Another study found that participants
perceived beer as being sweeter when
they listened to positive music compared with when they listened to negative music. Mattar et
al. (2015) reported that the types of movies that participants watched did not affect their
hunger or appetite but triggered food preferences. Participants who watched a romantic movie
showed more of a preference for eating something sweet than participants who watched a
horror movie. However, Siervo et al. (2013) found that participants who played violent video
games reported a tendency toward sweet food consumption.

PART C
Fill in the blanks.
The participants that were inactive spent more days in the hospital over the next ten years than
those who did at least some physical activity, whether for work or leisure. The results were
similar ten years later when the same participants were 50-80 years old. The study shows that
for every inactive person who started to take at least some exercise, the national health care
system could save around 250€ annually. This would equate to 5% of the per capita health
expenditure. The findings of study are based on a general population cohort study. The study
provides the clearest evidence yet finally small increases in physical activity substantially reduce
the future hospital usage of older people.
