Reputation and financial reporting in Finnish public organizations

2021

PurposeThis article analyzes the links between financial reports and reputation in the context of Finnish public sector organizations. In general, the paper discusses the accounting treatment of intangible and tangible assets and the quality and relevance of public sector financial reporting.Design/methodology/approachFor data, we combine three data sets: financial statement information of eight anonymous Finnish public organizations, the results of a reputation survey among their key stakeholders (N = 914) and a sample of the social media sentiment around the organizations.FindingsOur findings suggest that a decrease in spending and, surprisingly in the nonprofit sector, an increase in the…

Mi descrivi il tuo disegno del Mattoncino Lego? Un’esperienza didattica di matematica nella scuola dell’infanzia

2018

La consapevolezza dell’importanza di guardare, attraverso una lente di tipo matematico, i disegni prodotti dai bambini, considerandoli come strumento diagnostico per quello che D’Amore et al. (2004) chiamano come il “Campo di Esperienza” Spazio, Ordine e Misura, ha dato spunto a questo contributo che discute una sperimentazione didattica condotta in una sezione di scuola dell’infanzia (5 anni). All’interno della stessa è stato chiesto ai bambini di rappresentare dei mattoncini Lego con un disegno, e di descrivere successivamente i propri elaborati rintracciando e argomentando in essi eventuali segni di scarto numerico-spaziali rispetto al mattoncino osservato/manipolato, attraverso visioni …

The crater lake of Ilamatepec (Santa Ana) volcano, El Salvador: insights into lake gas composition and implications for monitoring

2019

We here present the first chemical characterization of the volcanic gas plume issuing from the Santa Ana crater lake, a hyper-acidic crater lake (pH of − 0.2 to 2.5) in north-western El Salvador. Our results, obtained during regular surveys in 2017 and 2018 using a Multi-GAS instrument, demonstrate a hydrous gas composition (H2O/SO2 ratios from 32 to 205) and SO2 as the main sulfur species (H2S/SO2 = 0.03–0.1). We also find that gas composition evolved during our investigated period, with the CO2/SO2 ratio decreasing by one order of magnitude from March 2017 (37.2 ± 9.7) to November 2018 (< 3). This compositional evolution toward more magmatic (SO2-rich) compositions is interpreted in the c…

Hacia una metodología del análisis crítico del discurso desde la enacción aplicada al género y la traducción: Una visión liminar en Bridget Jones. Ma…

2023

En esta investigación se abordan los presupuestos biológico-cognitivos de la Enacción y se refieren a un sistema lingüístico-perceptivo mediante la Gramática Liminar (GL) y el Análisis Crítico del Discurso (ACD) aplicado al estudio enactivo entre Bridget Jones. Mad about The Boy (2013) y Bridget Jones. Loca por él, de H. Fielding. Analizamos cómo la enacción sexista resulta de la forma sistémica de comunicarnos, incardinada en el cuerpo como matriz cognitiva biológica-cultural, donde el lenguaje actúa como bucle de retroalimentación en perpetua intratraducción entre el ser/mundo y viceversa, y se configura en lenguas de cuya intertraducción depende el grado de connotación sexista. This rese…

Context-Aware Adaptive System For M- Learning Personalization

2014

International audience; Context-aware mobile learning is becoming important because of the dynamic and continually changing learning settings in learner's mobile environment, giving rise to many different learning contexts that are difficult to apprehend. To provide personalization of learning content, we aim to develop a recommender system based on semantic modeling of learning contents and learning context. This modeling is complemented by a behavioral part made up of rules and metaheuristics used to optimize the combination of pieces of learning contents according to learner's context. All these elements form a new approach to mobile learning.

Complejidad, reflexividad y autoetnografía. Las posibilidades de la investigación narrativa en la mejora de la práctica profesional

2015

Desde hace unos años es evidente la creciente dificultad para intervenir desde los servicios sociales ante situaciones que se presentan en un contexto de multiplicidad e inestabilidad. Esta realidad, tradicionalmente concebida como una expresión de la complejidad de la sociedad, puede ser también observada desde un enfoque particular y poco conocido de los problemas sociales: el de los wicked problem, que nos acerca a otra forma de entenderlos. Sus cualidades nos llevan a reflexionar sobre la posibilidad de que coexistan ciertos límites en la capacidad de las organizaciones y profesionales para obtener resultados que mejoren significativamente las situaciones a las que se enfrentan. Al mis…

Riflettere per formare cittadini riflessivi: specificità della formazione dei formatori

2017

The article deals with the theme of reflexivity in learning processes, considering reflexivity as a thinking activity about our own actions and about ourselves in relation with our own actions. In particular, it focuses on the training of trainers and educators, analyzing the specificity and the importance of “learning by experience” not only in initial training, but also during the in-Service training and during working practices. In this sense the article also tackles the theme of “situated learning” (specifying the meaning of “context” in an ecological and systemic perspective) and the concept of “community of practices”. Consequently, the working group and its relevant function in the e…

The territorial dimension in the EU programming and the New Framework for Public Policies: Territorial Tural Development, CAP Reform and new LEADER

2012

Lo que venimos denominando como perspectiva territorial del desarrollo es un fenómeno bastante reciente en el contexto de la Unión Europea, de apenas dos décadas. En esencia esta perspectiva territorial del desarrollo se ha centrado en un enfoque local de los procesos de desarrollo en las áreas rurales, de la mano, principalmente, de instrumentos como LEADER. La necesidad de incorporar la dimensión territorial a los procesos de desarrollo proviene no solo del éxito global de estos instrumentos, sino también por el convencimiento de que puede constituir un elemento fundamental de cara a la cohesión económica y social en el seno de la UE. Avances recientes, como el Libro Verde de la Cohesión …

Register Variation in Electronic Business Correspondence

2011

Electronic correspondence is a highly dynamic genre within the business world in which Register Variation (RV) is frequently used as a tool to improve communication but it often can lead to misunderstanding. In order to shed some light on this still unexplored area, the present study firstly offers a practical approach to classify and analyse RV within professional communication. After this, it reviews previous studies on email writing to apply their findings to this approach and, in the third part of the study, a corpus of recent business emails in English is analysed to examine how the key parameters of RV are currently used within this genre. The results will show that, not only the cont…
