Lo scopo principale di questa ricerca è quello di inquadrare le possibili relazioni causali fra corruzione negli approvvigionamenti pubblici e performance delle amministrazioni locali.

Comunicare la pandemia tra relazioni sociali, norme e vita familiare: un'analisi quali-quantitativa degli articoli Ansa durante il lockdown
2021
This paper presents the results of a double computer-assisted analysis of selected Ansa news agency texts during the domestic quarantine period (lockdown: 10 March 2020 - May 18 2020). More specifically, the research focuses on lexicon, concepts and interpretative sequences in the construction of three media metaphors: 1) “war-like and post-apocalyptic” (CBPA); 2) “segregationist and normative” (SN), 3) “reactive and participatory” (RP). Some aspects of the new social and family relations in the Covid Age thus emerge - also on the basis of the concept of ‘interactional anomie’.
Usability of the testing criteria for English proficiency in competence tests : assessor perceptions
2010
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää arvioijien näkemyksiä englannin kielen taidon arvioimiseen laadittujen näyttökriteerien käytettävyydestä hotellivirkailijan ja matkailun ohjelmapalvelujen ammattitutkinnoissa. Ilman ammatillista pätevyyttä pitkään työssä olleet aikuiset voivat hankkia ammattitutkinnon Suomessa osoittamalla ammattitaitonsa näyttötutkintojen avulla. Näyttöä vastaanottava oppilaitos laatii näyttökriteerit tutkinnon perusteissa määriteltyjen arviointikriteerien pohjalta. Tarkastelun kohteina tässä tutkimuksessa eivät ole vain arvioijien yleiset näkemykset näyttökriteerien käytöstä pitkällä aikavälillä, vaan myös heidän mielipiteensä hyödyllisistä ja hyödyttömistä kriteerei…

Pair interactions in online assessments of collaborative problem solving: case-based portraits
2018
This exploratory case study focuses on how pairs of students can build a shared understanding and acquire collaborative problem-solving (CPS) practices during an online assessment of CPS skills, which is seen in the context of the CPS construct, in a symmetrical and asymmetrical task type. Even though CPS is widely recognised as a core twenty-first-century competency, its nature is not yet well understood. Also, until recently, most of studies have focused on the individual’s solution to a problem or on the skills individuals bring into a problem-solving space. This study extends from an individual- to group-level focus in CPS, emphasising the role and quality of the social aspects in CPS p…

Characterised by its multilingual and multiformat features, the multimedia journalism narrative is shaping a new ‘archaeology of composition’ (Manovich, 2005), also called the ‘new textuality’ (Anichini, 2003).

The defining elements of this narrative in the generalist information media have been analysed through the observation of hypertextual, multimedia and interactive resources.
