Subtitling into ELF. When accessibility becomes a counter information tool
2020
This study investigates the modalities by means of which the visual arts have recently been transformed by migration, and how aesthetic transformations within the context of (sub)titling have contributed to re-shaping identities and minority groups in filmic genres. The growing interest in migratory aesthetics has brought into representation marginalised subjectivities (i.e. the lives of Italians forced to emigrate from Libya after the Gadhafi coup d’état as the case in point in this work) in ways that depart from migrant depictions in the conventional media (e.g. the news bulletins). Against the backdrop of translation as a form of re-narration and an instrument of accessibility, and drawi…
Challenges in business communication : the essence of corporate English communications practices in Finnish firms
2012
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kartoittaa englanninkielistä viestintää suomalaisissa yrityksissä. Tarkastelun kohteena on myös työntekijöiden henkilökohtainen suhtautuminen monikulttuuriseen viestintään ja omaan suoriutumiseen. Tutkimukseni taustalla on halu ymmärtää, miten suomalaisyritysten kansainvälinen viestintä rakentuu ja minkälaisia velvoitteita ja vaatimuksia se asettaa työntekijöille. Tutkimuksen aineistona on kuusi puolistrukturoitua syvähaastattelua. Haastateltavat työskentelevät Suomessa eri alojen yrityksissä erityyppisissä tehtävissä. Haastattelut nauhoitettiin, litteroitiin ja analysoitiin teemoittain. Tutkimusten tulokset osoittivat kansainvälisen viestinnän suuren osuu…
Accessibilità e contronarrazione al Sole Luna Doc Festival. Sottotitolare le storie dei documentari
2021
This work is placed in the context of studies on the accessibility of audiovisual products in the realm of independent cinema, with its ability to provide access to social, cultural, historical and political truths, and also in the context of studies on audiovisual translation as an instrument providing access to audiences with specific and general disabilities, and to audiences with normal hearing. Against the backdrop of documentary festivals and, in particular, within the framework of the Sole Luna Doc Film Festival, scrutiny is placed on interlingual subtitling (also for the deaf and hard of hearing) as the most frequently used and disseminated practice. The three dominant languages are…
Medical Academic Speech. A Corpus-based Investigation of Same-Speaker Most Frequent Content Key Word Repetition in Non-Native English Discourse
2016
Studies on repetition in ELF interactions have been carried out in several domains, but medical academic discourse still remains under-researched. This paper explores same-speaker repetition in a 31,153-word corpus of lectures included in the 100,135-word medical section of the 1 million-word ELFA (English as a Lingua Franca in Academic Settings) corpus. More specifi cally, the corpus was searched for the most frequent same-speaker content key word repetition and corresponding functions, with both immediate and delayed repetition being scrutinized. The results confi rmed the initial hypothesis according to which same-speaker repetition was expected to be pervasive in the data, not only as a…

The MOBI-Kids Study Protocol: Challenges in Assessing Childhood and Adolescent Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields from Wireless Telecommunication Tec…
2014
The rapid increase in mobile phone use in young people has generated concern about possible health effects of exposure to radiofrequency (RF) and extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF). MOBI-Kids, a multinational case–control study, investigates the potential effects of childhood and adolescent exposure to EMF from mobile communications technologies on brain tumor risk in 14 countries. The study, which aims to include approximately 1,000 brain tumor cases aged 10–24 years and two individually matched controls for each case, follows a common protocol and builds upon the methodological experience of the INTERPHONE study. The design and conduct of a study on EMF exposure an…
"Eiropas lauksaimniecības fonda lauku attīstībai" publiskā finansējuma piešķiršānas un izlietošanas analīze
2016
Bakalaura darbs izstrādāts par Eiropas Lauksaimniecības Fonda lauku attīstībai pieejamību un izlietošanu dažādos Latvijas reģionos. Galvenā problēma ir, ka plānošanas perioda sākumā liela daļa lauksaimnieku saņem investīciju projekta noraidījumu nepietiekoša finansējuma dēļ, kaut gan kopējais pieejamais finansējums no ELFLA netiek apgūts noteiktā laika pieejamajā apjomā. Darba mērķis ir izanalizēt esošo situāciju par finansējuma pieprasījumu dažādos reģionos un cik būtiski tas atšķiras, rezultātā izdarīt secinājumus un sniegts priekšlikumus, kas veicinātu gan laicīgāku publiskā finansējuma apguvi, gan straujāku saimniecību attīstību. Pētījuma rezultātā nozīmīgākais priekšlikums, ko autore i…

Traits and emotions
2000
This paper reviews literature on traits and emotions focusing on both structure and management, or 'having' and 'doing'. The cognitive perspective of this paper implies that traits and emotions are viewed as provisions to frame people and their behaviours in situations in meaningful ways. The focus on the structure of traits thus implies considering the now broadly acknowledged Big Five model as a dimensional framework by which traits of people can be meaningfully organized. A similar position is taken with respect to emotions, given the recurrent finding of a two-dimensional model of emotions with Positive Affect and Negative Affect (PA and NA). Maintaining relevant distinctions between tr…
The role of individual processes and learning environment in the prediction of grades in a sample of Norwegian students
2018
Student grades are traditionally used to evaluate academic achievement in higher education. A review of previous research indicates a relatively clear tendency to adopt either an individual or contextual approach in exploring this subject. The present study represents an attempt to simultaneously examine effects of individual variables and learning environment on academic achievements as measured in grades. The study adopts a quantitative approach and reports data collected from students enrolled in early childhood education in a mid-sized university in Norway. Results of a stepwise hierarchical regression demonstrate that individual variables (e.g. nonmandatory school attendance, self-effi…
