Physical Performance During the Menopausal Transition and the Role of Physical Activity
2020
Abstract Background To examine longitudinal changes in physical performance during the menopausal transition and the role of physical activity (PA) in these changes. Methods Based on follicle-stimulating hormone levels and bleeding diaries, women (47–55 years) were classified as early (n = 89) and late perimenopausal (n = 143) and followed prospectively until postmenopausal status, with mean duration of 17.5 and 13.8 months, respectively. Physical performance was measured by handgrip force, knee extension torque, vertical jumping height, maximal walking speed, and 6-minute walking distance. Physical activity was self-reported and categorized as inactive, low, medium, and high. Longitudinal …
If Only They Knew: Audience Expectations and Actual Sourcing Practices in Online Journalism
2019
This article answers the question “Are the sourcing practices in Finnish online journalism trustworthy?” Here, trustworthiness is operationalized as the fulfillment of audience expectations towards sourcing practices. To this end, expectations of young Finnish adults (aged 18–28) were compared to the observed practices of Finnish online journalists. A total of 36 news items (from 12 journalists working in three newsrooms, published in 2013 and 2017) were analyzed. The analysis indicates that online journalists’ sourcing practices largely do not conform to this audience segment's expectations. Namely, the audience expects more comprehensive investigation and thorough verification than what i…
Personalisation in Journalism: Ethical insights and blindspots in Finnish legacy media
2022
The algorithmic personalisation and recommendation of media content has resulted in considerable discussion on related ethical, epistemic and societal concerns. While technologies of personalisation are widely employed by social media platforms, they are currently also being instituted in journalistic media. The objective of this study is to explore how concerns about algorithms are articulated and addressed when technologies of personalisation meet with long-standing journalistic values, norms and publicist missions. It first distinguishes five normative concerns related to personalisation: autonomy, opacity, privacy, selective exposure and discrimination. It then traces the ways that the…
Incidentality on a continuum: A comparative conceptualization of incidental news consumption
2020
This article seeks to contribute to theorizing the dynamics of incidental news consumption. Through an analysis of 200 semi-structured interviews with people in Argentina, Finland, Israel, Japan, and the United States, we show that intentionality in news consumption can be viewed on a continuum, which goes from deliberately setting apart time to access the news on specific outlets to skimming through unsought-for news on social and broadcast media, with intermediate practices such as respondents setting up an environment where they are more or less likely to encounter news. Drawing on structuration theory, this article conceptualizes incidental news in the context of the wider media environ…

2021
L’articolo sviluppa una riflessione a partire da un’esperienza di ricerca maturata all’interno dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo nell’ambito del progetto PO FERS “Fake News” che aveva come obiettivo quello di elaborare nuovi e più efficaci meccanismi automatici di valutazione dell’autenticità, originalità e rilevanza dell’informazione prodotta dal giornalismo etico e partecipativo a partire da metodologie e strumenti progettuali propri del design della comunicazione e dell’informazione. The article develops a reflection on a research experience gained within the University of Palermo in the context of the PO FERS “Fake News” project, which aimed to develop new and more effective automa…
«Cité ou oublié» : les supports de la notoriété des professeurs en sciences de gestion vus à travers Google Scholar
2011
Standards for the evaluation of management scholars lead more and more to exclude forms of scientific production other than the articles published in international scientific journals. The aim of this paper is to test the validity of these norms by analyzing the production of all university professors in management science, based on the «influen- tial» publications in Google Scholar. The articles published in internation- al journals represent only 35 % of in- fluential publications and collect only 40.2 % of citations. Books still repre- sent a very important part and the in- fluence of the different media varies widely across sub-disciplinary fields (finance, marketing, etc.). This articl…
