2014
Background and aim: Coping in daily activities when discharged from hospital to own home can be challenging for older people. Internationally, there is a number of studies on this topic, but similar studies in Norway and Nordic countries seem to be scarce. The aim of this study was to illuminate occupational therapists’ experiences of how to promote coping of daily activities in older patients who are discharged from hospital to home. Methods: A qualitative design with individual interviews was used. A purposive sample of eight occupational therapists were included, four worked in hospitals and four in community health services, respectively. Initially the interviews had an open form, but a…
The Affordances of Reading/Writing on Paper and Digitally in Finland
2014
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of digital technologies on reading and writing in Finland. The perceived affordances of reading and writing on paper and digitally are compared by analysing written essays collected from 25 communication students in 2013. Research design is replicated from a study of Fortunati and Vincent that concerns Italian students. Results show that Finnish students perceive more positive than negative affordances regarding reading on paper, while reading on screen attracts fewer virtues. In this respect, results are in line with the Italian study. Unlike in Italy, students in Finland value writing on a keyboard especially because it enables editing th…
What does it mean to be visually literate? Examination of visual literacy definitions in a context of higher education
2018
Full Article Figures & data References Citations Metrics Reprints & Permissions Get access Abstract Competency in visual literacy (VL) is crucial for effective visual communication, and thus for living and working in a visually saturated environment. However, VL across disciplines is still marginalized in higher education curricula. This tendency is partly caused by the lack of knowledge and agreement on what it means to be visually literate. This study juxtaposes and evaluates 11 VL definitions, selected as the most relevant for higher education practitioners and coined from 1969 (the first one) to 2013 (the most recent one). The study further proposes three lists of VL skills with themati…
Teoría de la educación : educación y cultura en la sociedad de la información
2008
La educación para la igualdad requiere de la implicación de todas y cada una de las agencias que participan de este proceso. En este trabajo hemos querido conocer en qué medida los videojuegos más vendidos y utilizados por la población infantil y juvenil transmiten contenidos que contribuyen a su educación para la igualdad o, por el contrario, la dificultan. Para ello hemos analizado el contenido de los diez videojuegos más jugados por menores y adolescente, atendiendo a los valores y disvalores que transmiten, centrando nuestra atención en la representación de modelos de mujer y roles de género. Por último, hemos tratado de establecer una serie de conclusiones y orientaciones pedagógicas, …
Experience and Existence Revisited Something Essential on A Philosophical Education in Film Art
2013
Abstract The film, the living imagery, traces out its legend before the eyes of the viewer seated there in the darkened space, and in his consciousness becomes a lived spectacle, an interiorised impress of experience. It takes up its abode in him and he falls in step with its movement, merging with the stream of its narrative. In this there evolves an aesthetic-existential situation – of one, many; of one, a qualitative multiplicity is born, and with it the experienced essence of the unique, the inimitable. On this same, the critic pronounces judgement – as often as not his verdict – on this spectacle which he – and another – has beheld; that individual, original experience is thus now couc…

A Functional Analysis of the Finnish 2012 Presidential Elections
2016
This study applied the functional theory of political campaign discourse, developed for political campaigns in the United States to two televised presidential debates in the 2012 presidential elections in Finland. Acclaims were the most preferred statement by the candidates, with agreements being the least preferred. Policy was discussed more than character during the debates. General goals and ideals were used more frequently to acclaim than to attack. Results are generally consistent with the results of previous studies of presidential elections in the US and other countries. However, differences did emerge: the classical functional categories were supplemented by a new category, the role…
Intercultural Workplace Communication
2017
The workplace is a highly meaningful context for intercultural communication where persons who come from different countries, identify with different ethnic groups or speak different languages get to collaborate and develop relationships with one another. Needless to say, interpersonal communication in the workplace has always been a primary area of interest for intercultural communication research. Early scholarship focused on the preparation of U.S. military personnel, diplomats, business people, and missionaries for overseas assignments. However, the increasing pluralization of the social landscape has bolstered research endeavors. These days, the scope of intercultural workplace communi…
Periodismo de datos iberoamericano: desarrollo, contestación y cambio social. Presentación
2018
espanolA medida que el foco de la investigacion del periodismo de datos se desplaza hacia el Sur Global, Iberoamerica es una region que permanece relativamente poco explorada. Sin embargo, no solo ha sido un espacio pionero en las practicas de periodismo de datos sino que posee un enorme potencial de cambio social y desarrollo a traves de datos abiertos. De hecho, Iberoamerica ha destacado en muchas areas relacionadas con este campo. El periodico argentino La Nacion tiene hasta la fecha una de las unidades de periodismo de datos mas innovadoras en el ambito internacional. Ademas, La Nacion, junto con el periodico espanol El Pais, The Guardian, The New York Times y Spiegel, fue una de las pr…
