Revisiting the “The Breakfast Club”: Testing Different Theoretical Models of Belongingness and Acceptance (and Social Self-Representation)
2021
The current work tests different theoretical models of belongingness and acceptance as fundamental needs for human motivation. In the current study, 372 participants were presented with 52 different items measuring five different theoretical models of belongingness (with a total of 32 items) and three different theoretical models of acceptance (with a total of 20 items). In a first step, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) failed to provide support for these eight theoretical models. In a second step, we therefore applied Exploratory Factor Analysis yielding three factors, which we interpreted as communicating: (1) Belongingness, (2) Emotion-Acceptance, and (3) Social Self-Representation. In…
HISTORY OF THE CHILDHOOD : THE REFLECTION OF THE TEACHER ’ S IMAGE IN DOLLS
2015
The toys are an indispensible part of the childhood. They influence the formation of the child’s conceptions because through them the child perceives and learns about the world. Dolls are toys that have not lost their topicality since the origins of the humankind. As the visual information dominates it is important what information is expressed by dolls-teachers because children will arrive at school having already some notions about the teacher. This can influence children’s relations with the teacher and the school. The aim of the article is to analyze the image of dolls – teachers. The used methods are the analysis of literature and material/visual sources. Pictures of 207 teachers- doll…

The trouble with vulnerability. Narrating ageing during the COVID-19 pandemic
2023
In this paper, we have used the exceptional circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic as a window for investigating the ambivalent, stereotypical and often-incongruent portrayals of exceptional vulnerability and resilient self-management that define the self-constructions available for older adults. From the onset of the pandemic, older adults were publicly and homogenously presented as a biomedically vulnerable population, and the implementation of restrictive measures also raised concerns over their psychosocial vulnerability and wellbeing. Meanwhile, the key political responses to the pandemic in most affluent countries aligned with the dominant paradigms of successful and active ag…
“I’m in a League of My Own”: A study on the rhetorical devices in Conor McGregor’s speeches
2018
Vapaaottelu on kasvattanut suosiotaan tasaisesti viime vuosien aikana, minkä seurauksena ottelijat ovat alkaneet saada enemmän huomiota medialta kamppailuympäristön ulkopuolelta. Suosion nopean kasvun ja jatkuvasti laajenevan kannatuspohjan vuoksi, mainostamisesta on tullut liiketoiminnan avaintekijä sekä promoottoreille, että ottelijoille. Tämän lisääntyneen mediahuomion seurauksena, osa ottelijoista on alkanut ilmaisemaan itseään enemmän verbaalisesti haastattelutilaisuuksissa mainostaakseen otteluitaan. Tämän seurauksena haastatteluissa esiintyy erilaisia verbaalisia yhteenottoja, jotka sisältävät usein vastustajien taitojen väheksymistä sekä omien taitojensa suurentelua. Kaiken tämän kä…
Défis à relever pour la politique budgétaire en Amérique latine en matière de stabilisation et de redistribution
2016
Cet article se propose d'étudier les réponses offertes par la politique fiscale en Amérique latine dans la situation actuelle " d'atterrissage en douceur ". En fait, il apparaît que la région est exposée à un risque de choc externe de pays développés et la Chine à un risque politique. Dans ces conditions, la politique fiscale a un rôle important à jouer pour gérer ces risques en se centrant sur ses fonctions de stabilisation et de distribution. En outre, nous proposons un système de plusieurs mesures pour chaque fonction. Enfin, nous démontrons que les pays latino-américains ne souffrent pas de contrainte du financement pour appliquer nos recommandations.
Magia ja taide keskiajalta ja uuden ajan alkuun : oppinut magia ja eurooppalainen kuvamaailma 1100–1600 magian tutkimusperinteen muutosten valossa
2015
1900-luvun aikana eurooppalaisen taiteen ja magian tutkimus rajoittui pitkälti Warburginstituutin piirissä tapahtuneeseen 1400-1500-lukujen taiteen astrologiseen analyysiin. Viimeksi kuluneiden 25 vuoden aikana magian tutkimusperinne on kokenut merkittävän murroksen. Etenkin keskiajan oppineen magian muodoista on saatu paljon uutta tietoa. Tutkimusperinteessä tapahtuneiden muutosten ohella tämä artikkeli esittelee keskiaikaisessa magiassa käytettyjä kuvatyyppejä ja kuvamagian yhtymäkohtia keskiajan ja uuden ajan alun kuvataiteeseen. peerReviewed
Rilkean Memories and the Self of a Robot
2019
This paper discusses the concept of Rilkean memories, recently introduced by Mark Rowlands, to analyze the complex intermix of hardware and software related to the self of a robot. The Rilkean memory of an event is related to the trace of that episode left in the body of the individual. It transforms the act of remembering into behavioral and bodily dispositions, thus generating the peculiar behavioral style of the individual, which is at the basis of her autobiographical self. In the case of long-life operating robots, a similar process occurs: the software of the robot has to cope with the changes that happened in the body of the robot because of damaging events in its operational life. T…

Bartomeu de Tresbens, physician and astrologer in the service of king Peter the Ceremonious and the infant John: between the service to the Crown and…
2018
Bartomeu de Tresbens was a physician, astrologer and philosopher at the service of two kings of the Crown of Aragon, Peter IV the Ceremonious and his son, Duke John, the future John I the Hunter, between 1360 and 1375, approximately. His major work of astrological content has hardly been studied, except for the Llibre de les nativitats (Book of Nativities). Similarly, most of his biography is not known. The documents, which are mainly the correspondence of its relationship with the monarchy, are preserved, but also other records that connect him to the municipalities of Barcelona and Cervera. Particularly in the latter case, Tresbens was tempted by the municipal authorities for being the ph…
