When even money can't buy - ice sports conditions in Oulu
2013
Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään nykyisen jäähallikapasiteetin riittävyyttä. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa selvitetään kuntaliitoksen vaikutusta jäähallien käyttäjiin sekä mahdollisuuksia lisätä ulkokaukaloiden käyttöä nykyisestä. Tutkimuksen kohderyhmänä on jäähallien asiakaskunta, eli urheiluseurat sekä rekisteröitymättömät ryhmät, kuten esimerkiksi työpaikkaryhmät ja puulaakijoukkueet. Perusjoukkona tutkimuksessa ovat kunnallisista jäähalleista ja Raksilan harjoitushallista vuoroja hakeneet tahot sekä harrastesarjoja pelaavat ryhmät (N=149). Tutkimusmenetelmä on survey-tutkimus. Nykyiset jäähalliolosuhteet eivät ole riittävät lasten ja nuorten liikuntaan ja urheiluun. Suurin osa urheiluseuroista …
Rompé tus barreras: Un análisis sobre el uso del coaching ontológico en la plataforma de entrenamiento de Nike en Buenos Aires
2020
In recent times, coaching has become relevant in heterogeneous discourses and practices in the economic, political and cultural fields of contemporary societies. Based on our ethnographic analysis of different training sessions on the Nike+ Run Club platform in Buenos Aires, in this article we study how ontological coaching operates in the field of sport and races. Then, we ask about how people who attend this platform appropriate coaching techniques to manage emotions, moods, and body effects according to the business entrepreneurship logic. Through this work, the ethnographic results are articulated with a reflection about the theory, practice, and values of the ontological coaching, wher…
Growth and convergence in Africa: The impact of spatial effects
2010
The aim of this paper is to study the impact of spatial effects on convergence process in Africa over the period 1975-2000. Taking into account these effects through the methodology of Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) and spatial econometrics, we focus on the geographical dimension of economic convergence of African countries. This allows us to deal with spatial autocorrelation which is a consequence of econometric interdependences due to geographic spillovers. Indeed, countries economic performance hides specific geographical patterns providing information on the importance of location on economic dynamics. Our results prove the existence of convergence process in Africa through a …

“Waiting for the Bass to Drop”: Correlations Between Intense Emotional Experiences and Production Techniques in Build-up and Drop Sections of Electro…
2014
This study investigates the correlations between theories of intense emotional experiences and production techniques used in the electronic dance music (EDM) sections “build-up” and “drop”, which are designed to build tension and create a heightened emotional intensity among clubbers. This is done by descriptive and interpretive music analysis, where spectrograms and a schematic model visually represent the dominant production techniques. Through a theoretical framework consisting of musical expectancy and gravity, the analysis suggests that i) extensive use of uplifters, ii) the “drum roll effect”, iii) large frequency changes, iv) removal and reintroduction of bass and bass drum and v) a …
Performing sound of the past: Remix in electronic dance music culture
2014
The term remix, defined as an activity of taking data from pre-existing materials to combine them into new forms according to personal taste, relates to various elements and areas of contemporary culture. Whichever model used, consideration of the remix depends on recognition of pre-existing cultural codes. Therefore, as a second layer, the remix relies on the authority of the original and it functions at the meta-level. The audience may see a trace of history with the pre-existing object and the meaning creates in the viewer(s), reader(s), listener(s) or, in the contemporary world of DJs and popular electronic dance music culture - in dancer(s). With the aim of specifying modes of creating…
