Early Career Women in Academia: An Exploration of Networking Perceptions

2016

This chapter explores women’s networking perceptions by focusing on early career women in social sciences. Within an exploratory research design it asks how early career women define the early career stage in academia, what definitions, meanings and interpretations they give for networks and networking, how they construct the networking process and their ability to establish and/or join networks, as early career researchers and as women. Based on two group interviews with 12 participants, our findings show that early career women in academia favour networking with peers based on shared interests (organic networking). At the same time though, they challenge and step over the perceived gender…

Experimental Procedures of Accelerated Aging and Evaluation of Effectiveness of Nanostructured Products for the Protection of Volterra (Italy) Panchi…

2022

The aims of the research were to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of nanostructured products on Volterra calcarenite stone and to define the experimental conditions and procedures of accelerated aging tests, able to simulate different degradation on the studied lithotype. The work focused on methods of performing accelerated aging tests in order to simulate different effects of environmental decay involving stone used on a historical site. The rock samples were examined before and after three treatment types: cyclic salt spray chamber, cycles of freezing–thawing and cycles of thermal shock. After each artificial aging cycle, changes in appearance were noted and chemical and phy…

What comes first: Combining motion capture and eye tracking data to study the order of articulators in constructed action in sign language narratives

2020

We use synchronized 120 fps motion capture and 50 fps eye tracking data from two native signers to investigate the temporal order in which the dominant hand, the head, the chest and the eyes start producing overt constructed action from regular narration in seven short Finnish Sign Language stories. From the material, we derive a sample of ten instances of regular narration to overt constructed action transfers in ELAN which we then further process and analyze in Matlab. The results indicate that the temporal order of articulators shows both contextual and individual variation but that there are also repeated patterns which are similar across all the analyzed sequences and signers. Most not…

Narratives by women managers about spousal support for their careers

2014

In this article we present a qualitative study of spousal support for the careers of women managers. The research material consists of the narratives of 25 women managers in Finland. The study has two main implications. Firstly, unlike previous studies, we use a narrative approach to demonstrate that a woman manager's career and spousal support are experienced as ambiguous and evolving over the career. The support was constructed by the women managers as flourishing, irrelevant, deficient or inconsistent. Secondly, to increase our knowledge about gender relations, we combine discussion of the topic with gender order analysis and suggest that gender order is critical for an understanding of …

Narratives in L2 Learner Identity Development

2019

This article focuses on second or foreign language (L2) learner identity and its development as discursively constructed, and we will summarize four studies conducted on this topic. The studies were conducted in the context of L2 teacher education in Finland, and the participants were student teachers (pre-service teachers) or recently qualified teachers of English or other L2s. As data we made use of narratives in different modes (oral, written, visual). The summarizing of the studies will be followed by a joint critical discussion of the theoretical and methodological lessons learned and possible applications. peerReviewed

Jeg følte meg velkommen : kan ungdommers deltakelse på KickOff – leir påvirke deres utvikling, og i så fall hvordan?

Masteroppgave psykisk helsearbeid - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Background: In The child and youth mental health department (ABUP), is the focus placed on the development of effective interventions. KickOff-camp for youth is an initiative in development. Purpose and research question: The study has a hermeneutic-phenomenological approach, and the intention was to explore adolescent experiences by attending camp. Which experiences can youngsters who have attended KickOff- camp tell about, how come they expressed at the camp, and in what ways might their experiences at camp affect the normal development? Method: The method used for data collection was a qualitative research interview with four…

Soluzioni per la ventilazione naturale e precetti igienici nell’edilizia ospedaliera tra Ottocento e Novecento

2016

La ventilazione, il riscaldamento e raffrescamento, il soleggiamento divennero, tra Ottocento e Novecento, strumenti imprescindibili per garantire la salubrità dell’aria e degli ambienti, sia nel caso di risanamento di edifici esistenti, sia nella realizzazione di nuove costruzioni. La tipologia degli ospedali era, al pari delle scuole, teatri, mercati quella in cui i sistemi di ventilazione finalizzati all’igiene dell’aria erano studiati con più accuratezza. Si ricorreva ad ingegnosi espedienti che consentivano di mantenere nello stabilimento sanitario quelle condizioni che garantissero il comfort ambientale, evitando l’entrata di aria dai padiglioni delle malattie infettive; particolare i…
