Algunas aplicaciones de la geometría estocástica en proceso digital de imágenes

2003

La información en forma de imagen es muy frecuente en muchos campos de la ciencia. En Medicina es particularmente importante debido a que muchos diagnósticos se realizan en base a imágenes. Notar la gran cantidad de técnicas de obtención de imagen existentes en este campo. El experto en Medicina examina las imágenes y toma decisiones.El Proceso de Imagen tiene como objetivo la mejora de la imagen eliminando las características que impiden su interpretación o bien realzando aquellas otras que la facilitan. El paso siguiente es la interpretación por medio de una descripción. En este trabajo se han empleado técnicas de proceso de imagen aplicadas a dos tipos de imágenes oftalmológicas.El prime…

The Role of the Church and Mosque in the Political Mobilization of Black African Immigrants in Finland at the Municipal Level

2015

Research has generally shown that the church and mosque play some role in immigrant political integration, especially mobilization. In Finland, this is not yet known as no research has yet examined it. This leaves a gap on whether the church and/or the mosque play such role. This paper seeks to fill this gap, using Black African immigrants as a case study through in-depth interviews. The focus is on political mobilization at the municipal level where many immigrants in Finland have full local suffrage. The study does not just examine the role of the church and mosque in mobilization in conventional politics (such as voting, party membership, campaigning), but also in the unconventional (suc…

Purity rules in Pentecostal Uganda. Towards an analysis of relational rulework

2022

Rules concerning romantic relationships and sex—what we term ‘purity rules’—are central to Pentecostalism in Uganda. In  public church arenas, the born-again variant of the rules laid down during Uganda’s ‘ABC’ response to HIV/AIDS — ‘abstain till marriage and be faithful once you marry’—are presented as clear and non-negotiable. Yet in church members’ lives, and in their conversations with each other or in small church groups, space is often created for interpretation and deliberation about the officially strict rules. In this article, we use ethnographic material from fieldwork in urban Pentecostal churches in Uganda to describe how rules work on people, and people work on rules. We descr…

Forecasting future trajectories for immersive journalism

2021

In this book we have critically explored the emerging practices of immersive journalism. In the news business, experimenting with new forms of storytelling has become the new normal. After spending a decade to get familiar with simple virtual reality tools, however, the future of immersive journalism is still considered uncertain. Immersive storytelling appears to become more concentrated on special events and locations. Journalistic virtual reality skills are increasingly crafted away from the newsrooms by small and specialized subcontractors. Sponsoring VR by the big tech companies tends to diminish in parallel with a growing move towards augmented reality investments. peerReviewed

Multifunctionality: Epistemic diversity and concept oriented research clusters

2008

International audience; This paper provides a mapping of the different uses of the word multifunctionality. To explore the diversity of meanings and interpretations, a comparative analysis was conducted through five national case studies in France, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Switzerland. The analysis conducted at national level makes it possible to identify eight Concept Oriented Research Clusters (CORCs), based on a relative homogeneity in the research practices, in the research questions addressed, in the concepts used or discussed by scientists to lead their work and in the scientific disciplines, the stream of thought or possibly the epistemic community researchers belong to. Th…

The utmost ends of the nuclear fuel cycle: Finnish perceptions of the risks of uranium mining and nuclear waste management

2013

There has been substantial social scientific research to determine how people perceive the risks of nuclear power, wastes, and waste management, but not much attention has been given to risk perceptions of other types of nuclear activities. Knowledge about attitudes towards uranium mining and exploitation is increasing, and more attention should be paid to how people perceive the risks of both ends of the nuclear fuel cycle. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyze the risk perceptions towards nuclear waste and uranium mining and how these perceptions relate to each other. The analysis is based on Finnish survey data (N = 1180) gathered in 2007. Renewed international interest in nucle…

Kotoutumiskoulutuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteet kuvaa tavoitettaan osallisuutta epämääräisesti ja kapeasti

2023

Kotoutumiskoulutuksen uudessa perusteasiakirjassa korostuu osallisuuden käsite. Se jää kuitenkin määrittelemättä: osallisuuteen viitataan sekä kapearajaisesti työmarkkinaosallisuutena että epäsuorasti niin, että käsitteen varsinainen merkitys jää avoimeksi. Tutkimuskirjallisuudessa osallisuus edellyttää laaja-alaista sosiaalis-yhteiskunnallista kuulumista ja yhdenvertaisuutta. nonPeerReviewed

Older rehabilitees’ life-course agency in Finnish gerontological rehabilitation

2015

Aims: This study investigates gerontological rehabilitation sessions of Finnish rehabilitees in the framework of life-course agency from the perspectives of temporal orientation and agency. Methods: The research data were obtained by non-participatory observation in 11 individual goal-setting sessions between 11 rehabilitees and their personal counsellors. The data were analysed in accordance with data-driven, qualitative content and narrative analysis, with an emphasis on the life-course agency approach. Results: Four temporal orientations of older rehabilitees were identified in the rehabilitation sessions: (i) timeless, (ii) past, (iii) present, and (iv) life course. For each temporal or…

Synchronicity matters: defining the characteristics of digital generations

2015

This paper investigates whether or not the proposition that the second digital generation (or so-called digital natives) is more engaged in social use of the Internet than older generations is tenable. By analysing nationally representative questionnaire-based survey data collected from Finland in 2011 (N = 612), the study shows that rather than social use of the Internet in general, it is the synchronicity of online communication that distinguishes user generations. Results show that, in contrast to asynchronous modes of online communication (e.g. social networking sites, blogs and online discussion forums), synchronous modes (e.g. instant messaging and Internet calls) are clearly generati…
