Quick Affective Judgments: Validation of a Method for Primed Product Comparisons
2015
A method for primed product comparisons was developed, based on the methodological considerations of emotional appraisal process and affective mental contents. The method was implemented as a computer tool, which was utilised in two experiments (N = 18 for both). Ten adjectives served as primes, and five drinking glass pictures as stimuli. Participants' task was to choose a preference between two glasses, given the priming adjective. The results validate the method by providing test-retest reliability measures and showing convergence with questionnaires. Further, different evaluation times between the primes and the stimuli reveal the existence of different mental processes associated with …
The inhibitory effect of long-term associative representation on working memory
2020
Studies on how long-term memory affects working memory (WM) have found that long-term memory can enhance WM processing. However, these studies only use item memory as the representation of long-term memory. In addition to item memory, associative memory is also an essential part of long-term memory. The associative memory and item memory involve different cognitive mechanisms and brain areas. The purpose of the present study was to investigate how associative memory affects WM processing. Before the WM task, participants were asked to store 16 pairs of dissimilar pictures into long-term memory. The participants would obtain the associative memory of these pairs of pictures in the long-term …
Third year IB high school students' perceptions on the international baccalaureate diploma programme: internationalisation, English medium instructio…
2014
Tämän kvalitatiivisen tutkielman tavoitteena oli selvittää viimeisen vuosikurssin käyneiden IB-lukiolaisten käsityksiä opiskelusta suomalaisessa IB-lukiossa. Aineiston keruussa käytettiin puolistrukturoituja teemahaastatteluja, ja tutkimusta varten haastateltiin seitsemää suomalaisen IB-lukion oppilasta. Tutkimuskysymykset koostuivat seuraavista aihealueista: IB-lukioon hakeminen ja koulutuksen rakenne, IB-opiskelijaprofiili, englannin kielen rooli koulutuksessa, jatkokoulutus- ja uraodotukset sekä kansainvälisyys. Tutkimustulokset osoittavat, että suomalaiset IB-lukiolaiset kokevat jo kouluaikana olevansa hyvin kansainvälisesti suuntautuneita. He pitävät opiskelua englannin kielellä tärkeä…
The Future is Now : UAS Language Education in Transition
2019
The current article discusses how the increasing student diversity and transformation of work challenge language education at the Finnish universities of applied sciences (UAS). The article highlights some administrative and pedagogical solutions that have been developed at Karelia UAS to enable the progress of diverse students towards professional competence in foreign languages necessitated by the changes in the labour market. The aim of this article is to evoke discussion on the future directions of language education in vocational higher education. nonPeerReviewed
Parole, parole, parole. Un’analisi testuale delle canzoni più vendute in Italia (1960-2019)
2023
Questo articolo esplora il contenuto delle cento canzoni italiane più vendute, nel periodo che va dal 1960 al 2019, utilizzando un approccio computazionale inedito che combina analisi testuale e analisi musicale automatica. I brani italiani da classifica hanno intercettato alcuni dei principali trend storici, culturali e sociali degli ultimi sessant’anni. Dalla ricerca emergono sei temi ricorrenti (perdono, fuga, amore passione, fatica, fantasia e vitalità) e due dimensioni di senso latenti (patire vs. agire e divertirsi vs. riflettere), che caratterizzano i testi analizzati. Dal punto di vista metodologico, emerge l’importanza discriminate del sound per comprendere sia il clima emotivo dei…
Learning complex analysis in different branches – Project Spotlight-Y for future teachers
2018
International audience; At the University of Bremen in teaching complex analysis, we split the last part of the lecture into two branches according to profession: While future mathematicians deepen their understanding in a branch for them, future teachers take a branch of the lecture where they prepare a task with dynamical geometry software for pupils which is based on phenomena of complex analysis. Here, we describe the design of the course, some general aims and first results obtained from the branch for future teachers.
Which model of English should we teach?
2022
Zmiana charakteru języka angielskiego na język globalny oznacza, że uczący się tego języka są obecnie bardziej skłonni do przyswajania języka dla celów lingua franca niż do komunikowania się wyłącznie z native speakerami. Dlatego uważa się, że uczenie się języka przy wykorzystaniu native speakerów jako wzorców nie służy uczniom dobrze, ani nie zaspokaja ich potrzeb. Wzorce 1) rodzimego użytkownika, 2) użytkownika „natywizowanego” (upodobnionego do rodzimego) i 3) angielskiego jako lingua franca (ELF), pierwotnie przedstawione przez Kirkpatricka (2006), przeanalizowano ponownie pod kątem ich cech i wad we współczesnym kontekście. Analiza odpowiedzi na pytanie „Jakiego modelu języka angielski…
Characterization of Food Packaging Films with Blackcurrant Fruit Waste as a Source of Antioxidant and Color Sensing Intelligent Material
2021
Chitosan and pectin films were enriched with blackcurrant pomace powder (10 and 20% (w/w)), as bio-based material, to minimize food production losses and to increase the functional properties of produced films aimed at food coatings and wrappers. Water vapor permeability of active films increased up to 25%, moisture content for 27% in pectin-based ones, but water solubility was not significantly modified. Mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation at break and Young’s modulus) were mainly decreased due to the residual insoluble particles present in blackcurrant waste. FTIR analysis showed no significant changes between the film samples. The degradation temperatures, determined by D…

Why Open Educational Resources Repositories fail - Review of Quality Assurance Approaches
2014
Regardless of the amount of open educational resources (OER) available, many learning object repositories LORs fail to attract active users and sustainable funding solutions. Previous studies indicate that quality of OER plays a significant role in the success of the repositories; however, there is a lack of systematic deeper understanding of this connection. In this qualitative study we interviewed 35 managers/developers of 27 national, thematic and federated LORs in regards of the LORs’ quality approaches and success. The key findings of this study show that comprehensive quality approach leads to success of the repository in most cases, the key instruments for quality assurance being exp…
