Kieli- ja kielitaitokäsitykset tutkivan opettajan kenttäpäiväkirjamerkinnöissä

2018

This article focuses on a young teacher-researcher’s beliefs about language and language skills. The research is motivated by findings of former studies according with which teachers’ beliefs are often relatively permanent and have a strong effect on their teaching and evaluation practices. The data consists of a teacher-researcher’s diary notes from storytelling events (n=19) in which storycrafting has been used with young primary school pupils. The study was carried out by a theory-driven content analysis in order to reveal and to be able to assess teacher-researcher’s beliefs that are only implicitly present in the data: diary markings were analyzed by comparing them to widely used dicho…

COMPARING PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION ANALYSIS BY SEDIMENTATION AND LASER DIFFRACTION METHOD

2009

In this paper a brief review of the laser diffraction method is firstly carried out. Then, for 30 soil samples having a different texture classification sampled in Sicilian basin, a comparison between the two techniques is developed. The analysis demonstrated that the sand content measured by Sieve-Hydrometer method can be assumed equal to the one determinated by laser diffraction technique while an overestimation of the clay fraction measured by Sieve-Hydrometer method respect to laser diffraction technique was obtained. Finally a set of equations useful to refer LD measurements to SH method was proposed.

Time-resolved X-ray microtomographic measurement of water transport in wood-fibre reinforced composite material

2016

Natural fibre composites are prone to absorb moisture from the environment which may lead to dimensional changes, mold growth, degradation of mechanical properties or other adverse effects. In this work we develop a method for direct non-intrusive measurement of local moisture content inside a material sample. The method is based on X-ray microtomography, digital image correlation and image analysis. As a first application of the method we study axial transport of water in a cylindrical polylactic acid/birch pulp composite material sample with one end exposed to water. Based on the results, the method seems to give plausible estimates of water content profiles inside the cylindrical sample.…

Suitability of a content-based retrieval method in astronomical image databases

1996

Abstract Indexing and retrieval methods based on the image content are required to effectively use information from large repositories of digital images. Usually, the way to search for data and images in astronomical archives is via textual queries expressed in terms of constraints on observation parameters. In this paper we present a method for automatic extraction of images by using shape descriptions based on local symmetry. The proposed indexing methodology has been developed and tested inside JACOB, a prototypal system for content-based video database querying.

Abstract The use of the internet and social media have changed consumer behavior and the ways in which companies conduct their business. Social and digital marketing offers significant opportunities to organizations through lower costs, improved brand awareness and increased sales. However, significant challenges exist from negative electronic word-of-mouth as well as intrusive and irritating online brand presence. This article brings together the collective insight from several leading experts on issues relating to digital and social media marketing. The experts’ perspectives offer a detailed narrative on key aspects of this important topic as well as perspectives on more specific issues i…

Analysing Different Consumption Practices among Different Settings

2013

The chapter’s main aim is to provide evidence for the need to differentiate consumer behaviour exemplified by drinking patterns and the various factors influencing these patterns as to different European clusters. These clusters emerged from the empirical research stage of the COBEREN project. They are compared to currently well-known European cluster differentiations (i.e. geographic clusters, cultural clusters, or Established European Economic Settings vs. Transitional European Settings in Central and Eastern Europe). This research aims to investigate European consumer behaviour on drinking, hypothesizing that other than the traditional cultural and/or geographical clusters, differentiate…

La responsabilità dei prestatori di servizi di condivisione di contenuti online.

2023

Il saggio analizza il recepimento della dir. 2019/790/UE, sul diritto d'autore e i diritti connessi nel mercato unico digitale.

The essay analyzes the transposition of dir. 2019/790/EU, on copyright and related rights in the digital single market. The study focuses on the liability rules of online content sharing service providers and compares them with the general provisions contained in the Digital Services Act.

Group-level analysis on multiplayer game collaboration: how do the individuals shape the group interaction?

2010

In this study, the aim was to examine how small-group collaboration is shaped by individuals interacting in a virtual multiplayer game. The data were collected from a design experiment in which six randomly divided groups of four university students played a voice-enhanced game lasting about 1 h. The ‘eScape’ game was a social action adventure developed as a part of the study. In the analysis of the video data, students' discourse functions during the game were analysed with content analytic methods for studying the nature of their interaction. An effort was made to analyse the data on both group and individual levels, and therefore the participants' prior social ties and experience in gami…

The Besov capacity in metric spaces

2016

We study a capacity theory based on a definition of Haj{\l} asz-Besov functions. We prove several properties of this capacity in the general setting of a metric space equipped with a doubling measure. The main results of the paper are lower bound and upper bound estimates for the capacity in terms of a modified Netrusov-Hausdorff content. Important tools are $\gamma$-medians, for which we also prove a new version of a Poincar\'e type inequality.

El discurso totalitario del partido político España 2000

2016

Este artículo analiza los elementos principales del discurso del partido político español, España 2000, concebida como una formación adscrita a la corriente de «derecha radical populista». Para ello, se emplea la metodología de análisis de contenido y se aplica el modelo de «Totalismo Ideológico» propuesto por Robert Jay Lifton, que describe los elementos que caracterizan a las ideologías radicales. Como fuentes de información se utilizan las declaraciones de los líderes de la formación durante un conflicto sucedido en la ciudad de Valencia (España). La investigación muestra las particularidades totalitarias del discurso de la formación española y sus principales ejes ideológicos, que al ig…
