Combined Behavioral and Mismatch Negativity Evidence for the Effects of Long-Lasting High-Definition tDCS in Disorders of Consciousness: A Pilot Study

2020

Objective: To evaluate the effects of long-term High-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) over precuneus on the level of consciousness (LOC) and the relationship between Mismatch negativity (MMN) and the LOC over the therapy period in patients with Disorders of consciousness (DOCs). Methods: We employed a with-in group repeated measures design with an anode HD-tDCS protocol (2 mA, 20 min, the precuneus) on 11 (2 vegetative state and nine minimally conscious state) patients with DOCs. MMN and Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) scores were measured at four time points: before the treatment of HD-tDCS (T0), after a single session of HD-tDCS (T1), after the treatment of…

Mobilities in Finland's Information Society Strategies from 1995 to 2010

2013

The article explores Finland’s national information society strategies and uses the Finnish case as an example to identify the limitation of the so-called ‘methodological nationalism’ and to explicate the advantages of the mobility paradigm. The research material consists of the Finnish national strategies published between 1995 and 2010. The article identifies two trends from the studied strategies; a further intermingling of physical movement of objects and virtual mobility, and a tendency to reduce corporeal mobility. The study also shows that most mobility-related challenges require international cooperation and multinational solutions, although state-centred thinking was prevalent in t…

Automatic Generation of User Interfaces using the Set Description Language

2004

We present a paradigm to generate automatically graphical user interfaces from a formal description of the data model following the well-known model-view-control paradigm. This paradigm provide complete separation between data model and interface description, setting the programmer free from the low-level aspects of programming interfaces, letting him take care of higher level aspects. The interface along with the data model is described by means of a formal language, the Set Description Language. We also describe the infrastructure based on this paradigm we implemented to generate graphical user interfaces for generic applications. Moreover, it can adapt the user interface of a program to …

Explicit behavioral detection of visual changes develops without their implicit neurophysiological detectability

2012

Change blindness is a failure of reporting major changes across consecutive images if separated, e.g., by a brief blank interval. Successful change detection across interrupts requires focal attention to the changes. However, findings of implicit detection of visual changes during change blindness have raised the question of whether the implicit mode is necessary for development of the explicit mode. To this end, we recorded the visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) of the event-related potentials (ERPs) of the brain, an index of implicit pre-attentive visual change detection, in adult humans performing an oddball-variant of change blindness flicker task. Images of 500 ms in duration were prese…

Tarina viestinviejänä : tarinankerronta yritysten markkinointiviestinnän työkaluna

2015

Perehdyn pro gradu -tutkielmassani tarinoiden käyttöön yritysten markkinointiviestinnän välineenä. 2000-luvulla tarinoista ja tarinankerronnasta puhumisen voi sanoa tulleen muotiin yritysmaailmassa, ja ilmiö on poikinut runsaasti alan kirjallisuutta. Olen työssäni selvittänyt, mistä tarinailmiössä on kyse: mitä tarinoiden kertomisesta ja niillä vaikuttamisesta ajattelevat tutkijat, mitä viestinnän ja yritystoiminnan asiantuntijat, ja lopuksi, millaisia neuvoja käytännön viestintää toteuttaville annetaan ja mihin neuvot perustuvat. Viimeiseksi analysoin leipiä markkinoivia viestintätarinoita. Tuon työssäni yhteen viestinnäntutkimuksen, yhteiskunnallisen tutkimuksen, kirjallisuudentutkimuksen…

Movescapes. Geografie del movimento fra spazio e rappresentazione

2013

This project has three main aims. First, it seeks to rethink space and spatiality from movement. To do this it follows some significant steps of philosophical tradition (Aristotle, Hegel, Heidegger, Merleau Ponty, Derrida, etc.) in an attempt to demonstrate the close relation between the movement of body and the production of space. No space would exist without an original movement producing it: the body comes out of himself, it spaces, and it is precisely in this dislocation that the spatiality is brought into being (Merleau Ponty). Bodies in motion produce space, but what happens if these bodies fall between the lines of a text or on the planes of a map? Can representational spaces hold t…

W stronę socjologicznego ujęcia etyki badań naukowych

2016

Zgodnie z tezą, że kompetencje etyczne stanowią ważną cechę kompetencji merytorycznych badaczy terenowych, a doświadczane przez nich dylematy etyczne mają charakter dylematów metodologiczno-teoretycznych, autorzy artykułu naświetlają problem połączenia refleksji etycznej z paradygmatem socjologii jakościowej. Argumentują, że wydzielenie jej jako specjalności normatywnej i filozoficznej, która dominuje w kodeksach etycznych, niesie ze sobą zagrożenie traktowania jej w inny sposób niż pozostałe zagadnienia obecne w socjologicznych badaniach i refleksjach oraz może prowadzić do istotnej straty poznawczej. Autorzy podkreślają możliwość i potrzebę rozwijania etyki badań w paradygmacie socjologii…

Sobre la obsolescencia del positivismo jurídico (Una aproximación desde la historia del pensamiento)

2011

Una de las cuestiones más debatidas en la filosofía del Derecho de los últimos años es la de la obsolescencia del positivismo jurídico: ¿sigue siendo el iuspositivismo una corriente de pensamiento vigente? ¿Hemos trascendido sus fundamentos, entrando así en una nueva era? ¿O bien estamos asistiendo a un momento de quiebra de sus bases, es decir, a caballo entre dos etapas? El objetivo de esta comunicación es encarar esta pregunta desde una aproximación no muy transitada para afrontar este problema en la discusión contemporánea: la historia del pensamiento. Concretamente, veremos cómo la caracterización canónica del positivismo no sirve para dar cuenta de un largo elenco de teorías positivis…
