Diagenetic stability of non-traditional stable isotope systems (Ca, Sr, Mg, Zn) in teeth – An in-vitro alteration experiment of biogenic apatite in i…
2021
Stable isotope ratios and trace element concentrations of fossil bones and teeth are important geochemical proxies for the reconstruction of diet and past environment in archaeology and palaeontology. However, since diagenesis can significantly alter primary diet-related isotope signatures and elemental compositions, it is important to understand and quantify alteration processes. Here, we present the results of in-vitro alteration experiments of dental tissues from a modern African elephant molar reacted in aqueous solutions at 30 °C and 90 °C for 4 to 63 days. Dental cubes with ≈ 3 mm edge length, comprising both enamel and dentin, were placed into 2 mL of acidic aqueous sol…
New Insights into the Provenance of the Obsidian Fragments of the Island of Ustica (Palermo, Sicily)
2016
In this study we applied a multidisciplinary approach, coupling geophysical and geochemical measurements, to unveil the provenance of 170 obsidian flakes, collected on the volcanic island of Ustica (Sicily). On this island there are some prehistoric settlements dated from the Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age. Despite not having geological outcrops of obsidian rocks, the countryside of Ustica is rich in fragments of this volcanic glass, imported from other source areas. The study of obsidian findings was carried out first through visual observations and density measurements. At least two different obsidian families have been distinguished, probably imported from Lipari and Pantelleria isla…

The look of writing in reading. Graphetic empathy in making and perceiving graphic traces
2021
This article presents preliminary considerations and results from a research project designed to investigate the relation between (i) gestures, (ii) graphic traces and (iii) perceptions. More specifically, the project aims to test the hypothesis that graphic traces, including handwriting, can set up graphetic empathy between writers and readers of traces across long temporal and spatial distances. Insofar as a graphic trace is lawfully related to the gesture by which it came into being, the trace itself will hold information about the gesture, which may resonate with the sensorimotor system of a perceiver as if they themselves performed the gesture. If this is in fact so, it will have impor…
Being a good neighbour: developing intercultural understanding through critical dialogue between an Australian and Finnish cross-case study
2020
Language educators in Australia and Finland are expected to foster intercultural understanding within foreign language education. This paper presents findings from a qualitative case study focusing on theoretical and practical intercultural understanding in secondary school language education. The data for this study includes lesson observations as well as student and teachers interviews collected in two secondary schools in Australia and Finland. The findings demonstrate the complex resources teachers and students draw on to develop and share intercultural understanding. The discussion addresses the value of different perspectives and the need for a new metaphor to conceptualise intercultu…
Convivencia en el ámbito educativo: aplicación de un programa basado en la empatía, la educación emocional y la resolución de conflictos en un instit…
2019
La educacion emocional y la resolucion de conflictos son factores clave en la mejora del clima del aula. Asi lo demuestra nuestra experiencia contextualizada en un centro de secundaria de la ciudad de Valencia (Espana) con un alto indice de expedientes sancionadores. La puesta en practica, en dicho centro, de un programa de intervencion y formacion para entrenar las tecnicas relacionadas con la educacion emocional y la resolucion pacifica de los conflictos ha supuesto una reduccion significativa tanto en el numero de expedientes como en la manera de afrontarlos traduciendose en una mejora de la convivencia en el centro mediante un aumento de la Cultura de Mediacion.
Mentalizing Subtypes in Eating Disorders: A Latent Profile Analysis
2020
Background: Mentalizing, the mental capacity to understand oneself and others in terms of mental states, has been found to be reduced in several mental disorders. Some studies have suggested that eating disorders (EDs) may also be associated with impairments in mentalizing. The aim of this work is to investigate the possible presence of mentalizing subtypes in a sample of patients with EDs.Method: A sample of patients with eating disorders (N = 157) completed a battery of measures assessing mentalization and related variables, including the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (RFQ), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Strategies (DERS), the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). Clinicia…

Taide kulttuurien välisenä siltana : kansainvälinen lasten ja nuorten taidekilpailu ja -näyttely kansainvälisyyskasvattajana 1970-1990
2015
Miten taide ja taidekasvatus voi edistää kansainvälisyyskasvatusta? Mikä taiteessa ja taidekasvatuksessa mahdollistaa tämän kaltaisen toiminnan? Miten kansainvälisyyskasvatus on näkynyt vuonna 1971 perustetun Hyvinkään Kansainvälisen lasten ja nuorten taidekilpailun ja –näyttelyn taustalla vaikuttaneissa tavoitteissa? Miten kansainvälinen taidekilpailu ja -näyttely on toiminut kansainvälisyyskasvattajana? Näihin kysymyksiin etsin vastauksia tässä pro-gradu-tutkielmassani. Kansainvälisyyskasvatus tuli yleiseksi tavoitteeksi toisen maailmansodan jälkeen muodostetun YK:n ja sen kasvatus-, tiede- ja kulttuurijärjestön Unescon kehotuksissa. Etenkin Unescon vuoden 1974 suositus kehotti kasvattama…
