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…
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 …
Framing Social Work Discourses of Violence Against Women. Insights From Finland and India
2021
Violence against women (VAW) is a global social problem. In India, its high prevalence is connected to gender inequality, whereas Finland suffers from the so-called Nordic Paradox—that is, the existence of both gender equality and a high prevalence of VAW. This qualitative study employed a critical constructioniist approach and frame analysis to analyze data from interviews with Finnish (n =20) and Mumbai (n =18) social workers. We asked how social workers frame their response to VAW and how ways of framing elucidate institutional practices that facilitate the interventions. Anti-oppressive, juridical, procedural, and collaborational frames revealed institutional practices mirroring how soc…
“Why do I have to learn this?” A case study on students’ experiences of the relevance of mathematical modelling activities
2017
In this paper we explore how students can experience the relevance of mathematical modelling activities. In the literature we found that relevance is a connection among several issues (relevance of what? to whom? according to whom? and to what end?). We framed this concept in terms of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), a theory for analysing how individuals engage in activities within social environments. We designed modelling activities within a mathematics course for engineering students: there were ample mathematical modelling tasks, a guest lecture by an employee from an engine company who used mathematical modelling in his job, and a group work modelling assessment with a pres…
Standard vs random dictator games: On the effects of role uncertainty and framing on generosity
2021

The paper has benefited from comments and suggestions provided by Maria Paz Espinosa, Giuseppe Attanassi, José Enrique Vila, Iván Arribas, Marco Faillo, Cristina Borra and participants at the Loyola Behavioral Lab and the Early Career Researchers in Experimental Economics…
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISKS AND FACTORS INFLUENCING THEM AMONG MEDICAL COLLEGE STUDENTS
2016
The aim of the study is to identify the CVD risks among medical college students associating them to their lifestyle. It should be noted that cardiovascular diseases also affect young people, which students are also. Information obtained during research is necessary for prospective medical staff to acknowledge their cardiovascular health and its influencing factors, as well as for college lecturers to make changes in study programs. The theoretical part of the research discusses various CVD risk determination methods, as well as lifestyle`s impact on cardiovascular health. The empirical part of the research contains information about ten years CVD risk among students, using two Framingham m…
Social movements and the contested institutional identity of the hospital
2020
Taking popular protest as a common reaction to changes in hospital services as its point of departure, this paper explores how a social movement has taken on the issue of the hospital as an institution. In the wake of the transformation of Norwegian public hospitals into health enterprises (trusts), this paper explores community resistance to the proposals and plans of decision-makers to restructure hospitals. The study is based on a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the website/blog for the local hospital movement's activities from 2007 until 2017 and of its involvement and resistance in respect of three instances of proposed change to the hospital structure during this period. The …
The Post-entrepreneurial University: The Case for Resilience in Higher Education
2021
AbstractHistorically speaking, the university has been a highly resilient organizational form; however recent pressures to become entrepreneurial threaten the institutional foundations on which that reliance is based. The chapter first provides conceptual clarity by revisiting what we argue are two distinct schools of thought on the entrepreneurial university. We show how the economic school’s conception intertwines with the rise of New Public Management (NPM) in Europe in the late 1990s and early 2000s, reframing the concept in ways that made it incompatible with resilience thinking. However, we argue that by tying back into ‘lost’ elements of sociological school’s conception, and associat…
