Mediated communication as an entryway into interculturality

2022

In this chapter, the authors discuss how utilising mediated communication may open new possibilities into exploring and understanding intercultural communication in education. Set in the context of Finnish higher education, the chapter follows a social constructionist viewpoint into mediated communication. The chapter argues for the prevalence of media and technology-mediated communication as a tool with which citizens of a globalised world make sense of themselves as well as the other. The authors present and discuss practical examples of how learners’ own media use practices may be drawn upon in teaching, and how focusing on the everyday affordances of media allows for strengthening learn…

A qualitative study of male and female perceptions in differences in the working and domestic sphere : a comparison of the French and Finnish cultures

2015

This thesis presents a comparison between two culturally different countries in terms of gender differences causing inequality in the working and domestic life. France, one of the pioneer countries in terms of fighting for women’s rights, but at the same time strongly paternalistic and chauvinist as a result of its Latin culture, is compared to Finland, considered as an example for gender equality. The research was conducted among private French and Finnish companies, where interviews were conducted of male and female employees holding different positions in the hierarchy. The thesis presents two articles. 1) The first one focuses on the reproduction of a social structure by the organizatio…

Participation in Social Media: Studying Explicit and Implicit Forms of Participation in Communicative Social Networks

2016

The diverse forms of participation in social media raise many methodological and ethical issues that should be acknowledged in research. In this paper, participation in social media is studied by utilising the framework of explicit and implicit participation. The focus is on the communicative and communal aspects of social media. The aim of the paper is to promote the reconsideration of what constitutes participation when online users create connections rather than content. The underlying argument is that research on social media and the development of methods should concentrate more on implicit forms of participation.

On the spatial configuration of scatterers for given delay-angle distributions

2014

Published version of an article in the journal: Engineering Letters. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.engineeringletters.com/issues_v22/issue_1/EL_22_1_05.pdf. Open access This paper investigates the distribution of scatterers located around the mobile station (MS) for given delay-angle distributions. The delay-angle distribution function represents the joint probability density function (PDF) of the time-ofarrival (TOA) and angle-of-arrival (AOA). Given such a joint PDF, we first derive a general expression for the distribution of the scatterers in both polar and Cartesian coordinates. We then analyze an important special case in which the TOA and the AOA follow the multipl…

Translating Legal Texts. When language meets law.

2012

The image of translation as a process of mere linguistic transposition with the sole purpose of preserving the meaning of the original message, began to be challenged at the beginning of the second half of the 20th century. With an increasing number of scholars raising doubts about the methodologies and theoretical approaches which have traditionally characterized this field of study, the 1980s and 1990s witnessed the emancipation of translation activity together with the recognition of the rights of translator. Signs of this new approach have been recognized even in the specialized field of legal communication that, notwithstanding its own peculiarities, is among the specialized languages …

Suullisen kielitaidon ja ääntämisen tutkimuksesta soveltavan kielentutkimuksen alalla Suomessa

2017

AFinLA’s research network for Speech and Spoken Language Research was established in 2014. This is the first thematic publication from the network. This introductory article introduces and classifies the other articles in this collection. In addition, we examine earlier AFinLA publications from the preceding four decades and evaluate the extent of pronunciation or spoken language research in AFinLA’s publication series. In our analysis, we noticed that studies related to pronunciation or spoken language research formed ca. 12 % of the total volume of published articles. There has been a slight proportional decrease in number during the decades. Spoken language studies have been more common …

Betydningen av Rollebegrepet i utviklingen av virksomhetsovergripende EPJ standarder

2016

Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 The current offer of health care services shows that patients receive services from multiple health care providers within diagnostic procedures, treatment and follow-up care. Consequently, this entails that health care personnel across the board require access to updated information on the patient in order to provide health care. Today each health care establishment keep separate electronic health records (EHR) to which only their own employees have access. In addition, most establishments have individually adapted their records in relation to structure, access control and roles. Moving forward the goal is to provide a…

Control of Political Communication and State Security : Jamal Khashoggi Case

2018

W artykule podjęto problem analizy relacji pomiędzy, z jednej strony, prawem państwa do kontroli przepływu informacji w celu zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa a międzynarodowo uznawanymi prawami człowieka, w tym prawa człowieka do publicznego wyrażania poglądów, z drugiej. Przypadkiem, który poddano analizie, jest zamordowanie saudyjskiego dziennikarza Dżamala Chaszukdżi. W artykule wykorzystano metody jakościowej i ilościowej analizy zawartości mediów pod kątem wpływu relacji medialnych dotyczących morderstwa na reputację polityczną Królestwa Arabii Saudyjskiej w wymiarze politycznym i ekonomicznym
