Letting Art Teach Aesthetics, Math and Language
2020
This papers presents a practical work model as well as an educational theory discussion on the status and potential of art work in teaching and learning math in early childhood education. The central idea is to let the child’s free creative art activity reveal, or “teach”, whatever mathematical thinking was inherent in the creative process. Paying careful attention to art and math adequate language in “meta talks” with children about their art work, is found to be a rich tool in enhancing the young learner’s development of aesthetic, numeric and linguistic literacies in gainful interplay. A field study in preschool teacher education is reviewed, including a mapping of Alan Bishop’s [2] math…
Matemātikas olimpiāžu uzdevumu iekļaušana mācību procesā 5.-9. klasei atbilstoši pamatizglītības programmas paraugam
2022
Maģistra darba “Matemātikas olimpiāžu uzdevumu iekļaušana mācību procesā 5.-9. klasei atbilstoši pamatizglītības programmas paraugam” ietvaros ir izstrādāti metodiskie materiāli olimpiāžu uzdevumu iekļaušanai mācību procesā 5.-9. klasei atbilstoši jaunajai programmai. Ir apkopotas izmaiņas matemātikas programmas paraugā 5.-9. klasei un to ietekme uz olimpiāžu uzdevumu sastādīšanu. Tas sniegs iespēju pedagogiem un olimpiāžu uzdevumu sastādītājiem ātri un ērti pielāgoties pilnveidotajam mācību saturam. Darba laikā izstrādātos materiālus var izmantot fakultatīvajās nodarbībās un mācību stundās, jo tie atbilst matemātikas programmā norādītajai tematu saturam un secībai.
Luonnontieteellisin analyysimenetelmin tunnistettu Akseli Gallen-Kallelan väripaletti
2020
Artikkeli on kokonaisuudessaan ensimmäinen laatuaan Suomessa ja se esittelee tutkimuksen tuloksia koskien Akseli Gallen-Kallelan käyttämiä väriaineita. Tutkimusaineisto on läpileikkaus taiteilijan taiteellisesta tuotannosta vuosilta 1880–1929. Se koostuu 265:stä maalauksesta ja 83:sta öljy- ja temperavärituubista. Tutkimuksessa käytetyt analyysimentelmät ovat ainetta tuhoamattomia luonnontieteellisiä analyysimenetelmiä: energiadispersiivinen röntgenfluoresenssi spektroskopia (EDXRF) ja polarisaatiomikroskopia (PLM).
 
 Avainsanat: Akseli Gallen-Kallela, taiteilijatarvike, väriaine, pigmentti, taiteen materiaalitutkimus, EDXRF, polarisaatiomikroskopia.
Failure Load and Collapse Mode of an RC Beam in a Large Collapsed Roof
2021
The present work focused on the determination of the collapse load and of the failure mode of a collapsed framed structure constructed in the South of Italy and failed in 2004 under its self-weight. Information available was the results on extensive experimental test campaign, for the determination of mechanical properties of concrete and steel bars of beams, floors and columns involved in the failure. Moreover, draws of original design with construction details and design rules valid in Italy at the time of construction were found. A simple monodimensional beam model for prediction of load-deflection curve, able to include degradation of constituent materials (concrete, steel and bond) was…
Gödel, Escher, Bach : Les brins d'une guirlande éternelle
2008
International audience; Quel rapport y a-t-il entre la musique de Jean-Sébastien Bach, les dessins du graveur néerlandais Maurits Escher, et le célèbre théorème du logicien autrichien Kurt Gödel ? Du premier, on connaît des pièces lisibles indifféremment dans les deux sens, ou répétant le même motif sous des formes toujours nouvelles ; Escher, lui, nous a laissé des images paradoxales de fontaines s'alimentant elles-mêmes, de bandes de Möbius infinies ou de mains s'autodessinant. De Gödel enfin, vient cet étrange théorème posant une limite à la capacité des mathématiques à démontrer leurs propres théorèmes. "Autoréférence" est ainsi le maître mot d'un récit fleuve, devenu livre-culte, d'une…
Mocking fakeness
2022
Abstract Phonetic resources, like dialects and accents, are used in ethnic humour to build up a recognisable character that pokes fun at the stereotypes associated with a particular identity, sometimes with critical and political undertones. In this article, we examine the manipulation of one such resource, aspiration, used in performing and mocking one such clichéd character, called the fake Sámi. This character has a contested history in Finnish tourism and marketing practices, and is embedded in a long-standing debate about who can use emblems of Sámi identity for economic purposes. Adopting a sociophonetic language regard and folk linguistics approaches (Preston 2010; Niedzielski & …
Archaeometric Characterisation of Decorated Pottery from the Archaeological Site of Villa dei Quintili (Rome, Italy): Preliminary Study
2019
This work focused on the study of decorated pottery dated back to the 16th century from the Roman archaeological site of Villa dei Quintili, a monumental complex located in the south-eastern part of Rome (Italy). A minero-petrographic and geochemical study was undertaken to analyse five archaeological samples in order to define textural features and raw materials used for their production, along with the chemical and physical composition of the superficial decorative glazed coatings. For this purpose, different analytical methods were used, such as polarising optical microscope (POM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-Raman spectroscopy, X-Ray fluorescence (XRF), and electron microprobe analys…
Cultural Interpretations of Global Information? Hindsight Bias after Reading Wikipedia Articles across Cultures
2017
Summary: Hindsight bias is the mistaken belief that an outcome could have been foreseen once it is known. But what happens after learning about an event? Can reading biased media amplify hindsight distortions? And do people from different cultural backgrounds — with different cognitive thinking styles — draw equal conclusions from equal media reports? We report two studies with Wikipedia articles and samples from different cultures (Study 1: Germany, Singapore, USA, Vietnam, Japan, Sweden, N = 446; Study 2: USA, Vietnam, N = 144). Participants read one of two article versions (foresight and hindsight) about the Fukushima Nuclear Plant and estimated the likelihood, inevitability, and foresee…
Smartphone usage among older adults
2021
Abstract Problematic smartphone usage, associated with impaired daily functioning, has gained increased attention among researchers. However, extant research is focusing on adolescents and younger adults. This paper investigates smartphone usage among older adults, of which less is known. To do so, we conducted a cross-sectional survey of 154 smartphone users (60+ years) in Norway using structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). We examined the contributing roles of loneliness, habit, social influence, emotional gain, fear of missing out, self-control, and problematic smartphone usage. We further investigated how older adults engage with their smartphones. Our findings suggest that older adult…
Relaxed and connected: Insights into the emotional–motivational constituents of musical pleasure
2018
Music is a source of daily pleasure, and positive emotional experiences and rewarding functions of music have been actively studied. Yet, knowledge about the interrelatedness of emotional and motivational constituents of musical pleasure is sparse. This study explored the characteristic emotional contents of music-induced pleasure, their relation to motivations for music and whether the underlying dimensionality of these aspects was specific to music (in comparison to the visual domain). Data were collected through an online questionnaire ( N = 464), measuring evoked emotions and motivational pleasure types that the respondents related to a musical piece or a visual object inducing pleasur…
