Nursing students' professional oral English communication skills in simulated data

2017

1990-luvun alussa Suomen lainsäädäntö mahdollisti opetuksen vieraalla kielellä (CLIL – Content and Language Integrated Learning). Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan englanninkielipainotteisessa sisätauti-kirurgisessa koulutusohjelmassa opiskelleiden sairaanhoidon opiskelijoiden ammatillista suullista englannin kielen taitoa. Koulutus aloitettiin vuonna 1994. Tutkimus pyrkii kuvaamaan miten ammatillisesti opiskelijat viestivät potilaiden kanssa simuloiduissa työnäytteissä. Lisäksi tavoitteena on tarkastella, mikä rooli opiskelijoiden yleisellä englannin kielen taidolla oli vietintäprosessissa. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin näyttökokeella, joka laadittiin yhteistyössä koulutusohjelmassa opett…

Tarantino's Round Flat Characters: A (Mainly) Verbal Study of Reservoir Dogs (1992).

2012

International audience; This article revisits E.M. Forster's distinction between round and flat characters in order to study the balancing between genre characters and realistic characters Tarantino's first film effects. It starts by examining the relationship between the fictional director of the heist (Joe Cabot), the other characters and the real director in a scene where Tarantino's cameo as a minor character endows the fictional director with authority and consequently emphasizes the shared dimension of filmmaking. The author then argues that the characters' capacity to identify and articulate flatness and rotundity in themselves and each other makes them appear round as it implies tha…

Ethics, Dialogue and English as a Lingua Franca for ESD in Higher Education

2022

Abstract The urgency for education to participate in the plan of action of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SD) poses challenges to language education in university language centers. This paper discusses the potential of Higher Education (HE) language center courses to provide students with the knowledge and skills of inclusive, respectful, and equal communication needed in promoting SD and global citizenship. Education for sustainable development (ESD) in language teaching often focuses on integrating the content of SD topics into the language course. This paper focuses on the skills dimension and reports on a case study of a dialogue approach, a pedagogical method that coul…

Applications of DNA self-assembled structures in nanoelectronics and plasmonics

2018

In this thesis, the potential applications of DNA self-assembled structures were explored in both nanoelectronics and plasmonics. The works can be divided into two parts: electrical characterization of unmodified multilayered DNA origami and DNA-gold-nanoparticle conjugates after they were trapped between gold nanoelectrodes by dielectrophoresis, and the development of a novel fabrication method using DNA origami as a template for smooth, high resolution metallic nanostructures as well as optical characterization of them. One of the biggest challenges in self-assembled nanoelectronic devices is to connect them to macroscopic circuits. Dielectrophoretic (DEP) trapping has been used extensivel…

DNA-based applications in molecular electronics

2011

This thesis is mainly focused on DNA molecules and especially on self-assembled DNA constructs and their potential applications in nanotechnology and molecular electronics. In the field of molecular electronics the conductivity of DNA is a crucial - yet open - question, and it is of great concern, since DNA is a very promising molecule in a context of bottom-up based nanodevices due to its superior selfassembly characteristics. A key tool in all the experiments presented in this thesis is a dielectrophoretic trapping technique, which was exploited in spatial manipulation of individualDNA molecules, DNA constructs and also semiconducting quantum dots. In the case of DNA, the technique provid…

RESEARCHES ON THE DIGESTERS AND REACTORS WHICH CAN BE USED IN A FARM SCALE BIOGAS PLANT

2014

In the general context of searching integrated system of renewable energy production, this paper present some researches on the reactors and the digesters, as a main part of a biogas plant at a farm scale. After we present the most used types of digesters, we also concentrated over the processes which take place into a digester, one of them being the removal of H2S from biogas (desulphurisation), which can be made by various methods, either biological or chemical, taking place inside or outside the digester. In the case of biological desulphurization outside the digester, we concentrate on the types of reactors which can be used in this case. Beside the well known types of reactors, we pres…

"Ois hienoa jos kaikki ois sähköisessä muodossa" : digital self-revising material for adult language learners

2015

Tämän kandidaatintutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää onko aikuisille kohdistetulle digitaaliselle itseopiskelumateriaalille tarvetta. Tällä hetkellä edistyneemmille aikuisopiskelijoille ei ole olemassa itsekertausmateriaalia. Aikuiskoulutusta on vasta viime vuosina alettu tutkia tarkemmin ja olemassa oleva kirjallisuus aiheesta on hyvin yleisellä tasolla ja keskittyy lähinnä iän tuomiin haasteisiin opiskelussa sekä nuorten ja aikuisten eroavaisuuksien tarkasteluun oppimisen näkökulmasta. Aikuisten itsenäistä kielten opiskelua ei ole aikaisemmin juurikaan tutkittu. Jo olemassa olevat tutukimukset aiheesta ovat hyvin yleispiirteisiä sekä pysyttelevät usein teoreettisella tasolla. Tämän vuo…

Metacognition in primary school: using digital rubric to promote thinking and learning

2012

Research about metacognition and its implications for learning and instruction have become a central issue in education. The call for teaching metacognitive skills is considered one of the main implications for instruction that has emerged from over three decades of research about how people learn. A method to promote the development of metacognition in pupils is to ask them to assess their own work. Pupils who assess their own work will spot areas that need improvement. A rubric is a scoring tool that lays out specific expectations. Moreover this assessment tool conveys effective feedback and promotes student learning and self-assessment. Few of the existing research efforts have focused o…
