Virtual Museum and Small Museums : ViMuseo.fi Project

2011

New media are a huge opportunity and challenge for museums, especially for small institutions without digitized resources. The ViMuseo.fi is a research project conducted at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. The research focuses on the possibilities of new media in presenting cultural heritage in small Finnish museums. As a part of the research, a tool to present small museums on the Web was developed. The ViMuseo tool is a CMS for creating multimedia presentations, and was designed specifically for small institutions without digitized resources. The possible deployment of the tool is also discussed. peerReviewed

Toimijuus korkeakoulutettujen suomen oppijoiden visuaalisissa narratiiveissa

2018

This socioculturally informed study explores how highly educated Finnish language learners represent their agency in visual narratives. Learners (n=59) were asked to draw two pictures of themselves as Finnish language users and provide verbal interpretations of the drawings. The aim of using visual narratives is to reach aspects such as feelings and beliefs which might be difficult to express verbally. The data were analyzed first by using visual grammar set out by Kress and van Leeuwen (2006) and secondly by content analysis. The findings suggest that learners saw Finnish language as a tool for oral communication. However, difficulties with speaking and listening appeared to restrict learn…

Género y enfermedad en la visualidad artística del fin de siglo español (1889-1921)

2022

La introducción de la modernidad artística en España en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX hizo de la enfermedad un tema que se trasladó a la visualidad artística. A pesar de arrastrarse algunos asuntos anclados en la tradición, los parámetros de representación en torno a lo patológico se renovaron, y las imágenes gestadas en este contexto reflejan muchos de los cambios acontecidos a nivel tecnológico, científico y social, enlazando con el ideario del progreso burgués. Ante la inminente llegada del fin de siglo, el tema de la enfermedad toma un nuevo rumbo en relación a otros discursos visuales que integran la imagen de la mujer y del hombre enfermos. Lo patológico se carga, en este momento, de…

Du territoire géographique au territoire économique : la situation de la viticulture

2011

Through time and space, the construction of the wine territories reveals them as subjects of economic issues. The analysis of these economic issues mobilizes traditional concepts (theory of comparative advantages) and more moderns (new economic geography). Thus, we progress gradually from the geographical territory with numerous dimensions (subsoil, soil, vegetation…) to the concept of economic territory of which the use by the wine growing refers to the traditional factors of structuring and the use of space (ground, population, financing, nature, …). Considering the use of these various factors within a region, a country or / and between several countries requires: (1) to consider the int…

Volatility risk premia and financial connectedness

2014

In this paper we use the Diebold Yilmaz (2009 and 2012) methodology to construct an index of connectedness among five European stock markets: France, Germany, UK, Switzerland and the Netherlands, by using volatility risk premia. The volatility risk premium, which is a proxy of risk aversion, is measured by the difference between the implied volatility and expected realized volatility of the stock market for next month. While Diebold and Yilmaz focus is on the forecast error variance decomposition of stock returns or range based volatilities employing a stationary VAR in levels, we account for the (locally) long memory stationary properties of the levels of volatility risk premia series. The…

Practicing Ballot Secrecy: Postal Voting and the Witness Requirement at the 2019 Finnish Elections

2021

Electoral rights belong to the core of citizenship in democratic nation-states. Voting, then, represents an actualization of the relationship between the citizen and the political community. For citizens living outside the country in which they are eligible to vote, voting signifies a rare institutional connection to the country of origin. The aim of this article is to explore the introduction of the postal vote, a new form of voting for external voters at Finnish elections, from the grassroots perspective. The study focuses on how a central policy concern, safeguarding ballot secrecy, was resolved in the policy implementation by the witness requirement, and how the individual voters subseq…
