Conclusions, Discussion, and Policy Implications
2016
Our research on Latvian older women challenges the trope of vulnerability which generally surrounds the framing of older migrants’ lives. Through their ability to be mobile, find work, and experience a sensual reawakening, Latvian older women are able to question stereotypes about ageing and older women. They are able to escape their poor, dead-end lives in Latvia and develop a better future for themselves. The findings of the book offer policymakers insights into the realities of ageing working migrants, pensions policy, a more inclusive transnational citizenship, the need for better working conditions, and ongoing care arrangements for older migrants post-retirement, either abroad or back…
El sesgo mediocéntrico del "framing" en España: una revisión crítica de la aplicación de la teoría del encuadre en los estudios de comunicación
2016
Artikulu honetan kritikoki aztertuko dira Espainian framing-ari buruzko literaturan gailentzen diren ikuspegi teoriko eta metodologikoak. Azterketaren helburua da azpimarratzea bitartekoa erdigune duen joera bat dagoela; izan ere, ikasketetan aldagai independente gisa landu ohi dira kazetaritza-enkoadraketak, baina ez dira horiek ekoiztean eta negoziatzean dagoen dinamika-eta gatazka-prozesua jorratzen. Joera horren arrazoia da markoak kazetaritza-errutinen emaitza gisa hartzen direla, eta, hori dela eta, ez da kontuan hartzen kazetaritza-marko horien ekoizpenen atzean hainbat eragin politiko, sozial eta ideologiko daudela.; This article provides a critical review of the theoretical and met…

Concept of virtual machine based high resolution display wall
2014
This paper presents the scalability and hardware dependency problems found in existing solutions in the high resolution display wall domain and proposes a new solution. Authors propose hosting the system that provides the visual content for the display wall inside a virtual machine. In such way any needed configuration of displays and resolutions can be applied to the graphics processing unit simulated by the virtualization system. The frame buffer content of the virtual graphics processing unit is then split, encoded with H.264 and sent over gigabit Ethernet as an RTP stream to the display wall. The display wall is driven by Raspberry Pi embedded devices that receive the stream, decode it …
GIORNALISMO E VETRINIZZAZIONE SOCIALE. LE DERIVE DELLA LOGICA SPETTACOLARE IN ITALIA
2014
The article focuses on the development of a television market model in Italian journalism in the last two decades, characterized by the success of the "entertainment" frame in both TV and print news. The use of a spectacular framing and commercialization of news has its roots in the American popular journalism of the 1800s, but is today connected to the more recent of a «Showcase» (or «display window») communication model. Each place is or can be a stage, and the traditional definition of news is revised: journalism does not present news objectively, but it offers dramatized reconstructions of parts of reality, focusing on the visual impact of the events and on the narrative strategy used t…
Framing of Corporate Social Responsibility by Agribusiness in the USA and Europe : A study of whether the Corporate Social Responsibility disclosure …
2016
Master thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2016 This thesis examines whether the CSR reports by agricultural biotechnology and agrochemical companies in the USA and Europe align to the stakeholders’ (NGOs and the external constituents) expectations. The focus is on issues of key importance to these firms and the stakeholders, including GMOs, chemicals, and the corporate control over seeds. Framing creates expectations, as framing theory indicates framing is to focus on some of the many facets through which an issue can be seen, and highlight them using salient words and phrases to render them significant. The analysis revealed that 16 companies prepare CSR reports: 8 …
From risk assessment to in-context trajectory evaluation - GMOs and their social implications
2011
Purpose: Over the past twenty years, GMOs have raised enormous expectations, passionate political controversies, and an on-going debate on how should these technologies be assessed. Current risk-assessment procedures generally assess GMOs in terms of their potential risk of negatively affecting human health and the environment. Yet, is this risk-benefit approach appropriate to a deliver a robust assessment of GMOs? In this paper, we question the validity of current risk-assessment from both a social and an ecological perspective, and we elaborate an alternative approach, namely in-context trajectory evaluation Methods: This paper combines frame analysis, context analysis and eco-social anal…
What motivates the adoption of green restaurant products and services? A systematic review and future research agenda
2021
Issues regarding green restaurants have received significant scholarly and practitioner attention in the last decade, particularly concerning why consumers adopt green restaurants. Although several reviews exist on green hospitality, a comprehensive review of the literature on consumers' green restaurant adoption is currently lacking. The following systematic literature review examines 50 research studies published on the consumer adoption of green restaurant services to address this gap accordingly. Through a detailed content analysis, the research profile and thematic analysis are presented. The review further identifies four key thematic foci: (a) consumer behavior variables studied, (b)…

‘Women-protective’ language as a tool of exclusion: Debates on oocyte donation in Latvia
2018
‘Women-protective’ language is broadly used as a frame in political discussions on women’s reproductive healthcare and labour rights. This article addresses the use of ‘women-protective’ language in online news articles in the Latvian media about the proposed prohibition of oocyte donation for nulliparous women. The main focus of the recent Latvian debate has not been on the technology itself, but rather on the female body and women’s rationality and decision-making capacity. The results of the analysis show that use of the ‘women-protective’ frame positions women as victims, increases control over the female body and restricts women’s rights to make autonomous decisions. The application of…
