Belonging and Home
2021
AbstractIn this chapter, the authors discuss artifacts in which children explore belonging and home. The chapter defines the sense of belonging as a core feature of humanity and living together. The feeling of having a home and being at home is both an intimate and a socially shared aspect of belonging. The children expressed belonging to a wide range of spaces in their artifacts. This spatial span extends from macro to micro scale and indicates belonging based on spaces, social relations, and materiality. Even very young children can see and depict their belonging as multiple and including spatial and social dimensions. The analyzed artifacts reveal both concrete and symbolic approaches to…
La utilidad de los informes de sostenibilidad en entidades públicas y privadas en Colombia
2021
El aumento en la divulgación de información social y medioambiental (de sostenibilidad) genera preguntas sobre su utilidad y materialidad, lo que implica conocer las expectativas de los stakeholders. El stakeholder engagement permite señalar que la participación de los grupos de interés no solo debe centrarse en la producción de la información en las empresas, sino también en la definición de los marcos y estándares que estructuran estos reportes. Este trabajo busca caracterizar las expectativas y la percepción que tienen diversos stakeholders, sobre la utilidad de los informes de sostenibilidad emitidos por organizaciones públicas y privadas en Colombia. A partir de dos cuestionarios respo…

Art and Science in Word and Image
2019
Art and Science in Word and Image investigates the theme of ‘riddles of form’, exploring how discovery and innovation have functioned inter-dependently between art, literature and the sciences. Using the impact of evolutionary biologist D’Arcy Thompson’s On Growth and Form on Modernist practices as springboard into the theme, contributors consider engagements with mysteries of natural form in painting, photography, fiction, etc., as well as theories about cosmic forces, and other fields of knowledge and enquiry. Hence the collection also deals with topics including cultural inscriptions of gardens and landscapes, deconstructions of received history through word and image artworks and texts,…
Die Objektivierung der Dinge.Wissenspraktiken im mathematisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Schulunterricht / Objectifying Things. Epistemic Practices in S…
2015
Zusammenfassung Auf Grundlage ethnografischer Daten beschäftigt sich der Aufsatz mit Experimenten und Anschauungsobjekten im mathematisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Schulunterricht der Sekundarstufe. Die Unterrichtsteilnehmer transformieren dabei vieldeutige Dinge in eindeutige und von ihnen als unabhängig gefasste Objekte. Diese Objektivierung der Dinge erfolgt im Schulunterricht in drei Phasen: Nach der Vorbereitung im schulischen Archiv werden die Dinge bei der Durchführung von Experimenten im Unterrichtsraum in Aktion versetzt und schließlich in die sprachliche bzw. schriftliche Form an der Tafel und in den Heften überführt. Diese praktische Transformationsleistung ist durch eine asymmetri…
The Nature of Our Becoming: Genealogical Perspectives
2020
In the light of Philipp Sarasin's work in 'Darwin und Foucault: Genealogie und Geschichte im Zeitalter der Biologie', the article delineates a genealogically articulated naturally produced culture and a cultured nature and discusses the genealogical implications of a carnal, becoming self in a world that could rightly be justified "as an aesthetical phenomenon." The article demonstrates the historicity and processual materiality as a conceptual platform for a combination of the notions of experienced carnality and a socially constructed body, demonstrating such a historically embedded carnal body as a binding agent for the "social constructivist" and "biologist" approaches in sciences. Thus…
Auditory Distraction by Meaningless Irrelevant Speech: A Developmental Study
2014
Summary The irrelevant sound effect (ISE) typically refers to a disruptive effect of a to-be-ignored sound in serial recall tasks, where lists of visually presented items (digits and letters) must be recalled in serial order. Although extensively studied in adults, studies on developmental aspects of the ISE are scarce. The present study aims to increase our understanding of developmental changes of auditory distraction in children beyond serial recall. Two tasks (i.e., word categorization and evaluation of simple mathematical equations) were designed to test retrieval from semantic memory. Proportion correct and reaction times (adjusted for speed–accuracy tradeoff) were measured in 8–9 and…

Cycling but not walking to work or study is associated with physical fitness, body composition and clustered cardiometabolic risk in young men
2020
IntroductionActive commuting is an inexpensive and accessible form of physical activity and may be beneficial to health. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of active commuting and its subcomponents, cycling and walking, with cardiometabolic risk factors, physical fitness and body composition in young men.MethodsParticipants were 776 Finnish young (26±7 years), healthy adult men. Active commuting was measured with self-report. Waist circumference was measured and body mass index (BMI) calculated. Aerobic fitness was measured with bicycle ergometer and muscular fitness with maximal leg and bench press, sit-ups, push-ups and standing long jump. Cardiometabolic risk factor…
More About the Musical Expertise of Musically Untrained Listeners
2003
Several behavioral experiments that were designed to compare the abilities of musicians and nonmusicians to process subtle changes in musical structures are surveyed. These experiments deal with different aspects of music perception including the processing of melodic and harmonic structures, the processing of large-scale structures, and implicit learning. In all these experiments, the so-called nonmusician listeners behaved in a very similar way as did highly trained students from music conservatories and music departments. This outcome suggests that when the experimental setting requires participants to process musical structures (in contrast to musical tones), the large audience of untra…
