La tecnologia dell'Informazione per la gestione e la comunicazione di musei e collezioni: i metadata
2011
In una realtà come quella museale il concetto di informazione perimetra un ampio spettro di attività comela comunicazione scritta, quella verbale, quella che avviene via e-mail, il patrimonio in termini di opere e conoscenza delle stesse, tutti elementi che possono contribuire a creare confusione. In realtà, accogliendo la visionedi Checkland e Howell, l’informazione è parte di un ciclo che partendo dai dati passa attraverso l’informazione stessa per arrivare alla conoscenza. (...)
Aseemista okkultismia: Austin Osman Sparen maagiset monogrammit
2018
Austin Osman Spare (1886–1956) oli englantilainen okkultisti ja kuvataiteilija, joka kehitti uudenlaisen maagisen monogrammin luomisen tekniikan. Spare otti vaikutteita antiikista ja keskiajalta juontuvasta maagisten merkkien perinteestä, jonka keskeisiä tekstejä ovat olleet H. Cornelius Agrippan (1486–1535/1536) ja Giordiano Brunon (1548–1600) systemaattiset esitykset maagisista merkeistä. 1800-luvun lopun ja 1900-luvun alun Lontoossa Spareen puolestaan vaikuttivat uudet okkultistiset liikkeet, kuten Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Ordo Templi Orientis ja Aleister Crowleyn (1875–1947) perustama Argentium Astrum. Myöhemmin Sparen tekniikkaa on hyödynnetty erityisesti 1970-luvulla luodun …
Deadlock in corporate governance: Finding a common strategy for private telephone companies, 1978–1998
2017
This paper looks at how a group of small, incumbent private telephone companies complied with the international convergence of market structures. The existing research has mainly focused on large national incumbents, assuming a transition to multinational enterprise. This development process is often associated with privatisation policies and various institutional factors. The article tests these assumptions using a case study of the network of Finnish local telephone companies. It looks at the development of an interfirm network, its perspectives on the different phases of the deregulation process, and how the network tried to regenerate itself but failed to form a unified corporate struct…

Academic achievement and self-concept of deaf and hard-of-hearing and hearing students transitioning from the first to second cycle of primary school…
2018
ABSTRACTThis study was done to examine the transition of deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) and hearing students from the first cycle (Grade 4) to the second cycle (Grade 5) of primary education in Ethiopia. Academic achievement and self-concept were measured longitudinally with 103 DHH and hearing students. Participants were selected from three different settings (special schools, special classes and regular schools). Self-Description Questionnaire I (Marsh, H. W. 1990. Self-Description Questionnaire – I (SDQ I). Manual. MacArthur, NSW, Australia: University of Western Sydney) was used to measure the children’s self-concept. The results showed a decrease in the academic achievement and academi…
Student agency analytics: learning analytics as a tool for analysing student agency in higher education
2020
This paper presents a novel approach and a method of learning analytics to study student agency in higher education. Agency is a concept that holistically depicts important constituents of intentional, purposeful, and meaningful learning. Within workplace learning research, agency is seen at the core of expertise. However, in the higher education field, agency is an empirically less studied phenomenon with also lacking coherent conceptual base. Furthermore, tools for students and teachers need to be developed to support learners in their agency construction. We study student agency as a multidimensional phenomenon centring on student-experienced resources of their agency. We call the analyt…
Kids Inspire Kids for STEAM
2017
Abstract The goal of the Kids Inspiring Kids in STEAM (KIKS) project was to raise students' awareness towards the multi- and transdisciplinary connections between the STEAM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics), and make the learning about topics and phenomena from these fields more enjoyable. In order to achieve these goals, KIKS project has popularized the STEAM-concept by projects based on the students inspiring other students-approach and by utilizing new technologies, tools, open educational resources, and everyday items and materials. Through the students-inspiring-other-students-approach, we have aimed to get participating students developing STEAM activitie…
Mathematics and Art Connections Expressed in Artworks by South African Students
2022
In this chapter, we examine a collection of drawings, and paintings from South African students between the ages of 10 to 17, that provide fresh and original perceptions to some already known topics, but also several unexpected connections between mathematics and art. These works reference classic math-art connections such as: golden ratio, spirals, infinity, and geometric figures; they also contain several personal reflections, unique discoveries and references to ethnomathematical connections within the African cultural heritage. To introduce their pieces and themselves, students shared their own interpretations of their artworks. These commentaries make possible the identification of cog…
The Rise and Fall of the Unhasu Orchestra
2018
The Ŭnhasu Orchestra was a major North Korean ensemble in 2009–2013. It was established by Kim Jong Il (Kim Chŏng’il, 김정일) and was composed of young musicians and singers of both genders, several of them having studied in foreign higher educational institutions in countries like Austria, Italy, Russia and China. Its members represented the core class of the North Korean society. It was ostensibly meant to display the high quality of North Korean art and engage at this level also in international cultural diplomacy, both in terms of physical visits, and in terms of DVD and internet publishing. In addition to domestic concerts, the Ŭnhasu Orchestra performed with visiting Russian artists, and…
