E-tutoring nella didattica telematica. Pratiche di modellamento.
2021
Il lavoro si propone di delineare quali evoluzioni la figura dell'e-tutor stia attraversando nel contesto della didattica telematica alla luce dei cambiamenti che i media digitali e sociali introducono (Rivoltella, 2017; Ferrari, 2019). Resta fondamentale la dimensione comunicativa su cui tale ruolo si basa (Rivoltella, 2006), che evidenzia la necessità di competenze di moderazione online, allestimento di gestione dei gruppi e animazione di online communities.All'e-tutor, in particolare, è richiesta consapevolezza sull'attività di modellamento che svolge nei confronti dei corsisti attraverso le sue attività comunicative e didattiche (interattive e…
Internal Audit in Polish Self-government Units: Attempt to Evaluate Selected Aspects of its Functioning
2018
Internal audit has been functioning in self-government units in Poland since 2002. Its current form has changed considerably during that time. Initially, internal audit particularly focused on the area of financial economy of the unit. With time, it evolved towards a complex evaluation of the activities of the unit, considering all aspects of its functioning. Internal audit is currently transforming towards an efficiency audit. The objective of the article is to present the organisation and basic rules of performance of internal audit in SGU, to attempt an assessment of selected aspects of its functioning, and to point to possible directions of its development. For this purpose, analysis wa…
Early adulthood and current physical activity and their association with symptoms of pelvic floor disorders in middle-aged women : an observational s…
2023
Objective To investigate associations of early and middle adulthood physical activity (PA) with symptoms of pelvic floor disorders (PFD), i.e., stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urge urinary incontinence (UUI), fecal incontinence (FI), constipation or defecation difficulties (CDD), and feeling of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) among middle-aged women. Design A cross-sectional, observational study with retrospective PA assessment. Setting University Research Laboratory. Sample A random population sample of 1098 47-to-55-year-old Finnish women. Methods Early adulthood PA, current PA, and demographical and gynaecological variables were assessed using self-report questionnaires. Logistic regressi…
»just de niillä oli sovmorgon» : Kulturella och pragmatiska aspekter på kodväxling i tvåspråkiga ungdomssamtal i Haparanda, Stockholm och Helsingfors
2017
The aim of the study is to explore situational, cultural and pragmatic factors that might trigger code-switching during informal conversations outside of the classroom at school among bilingual adolescents in Haparanda, Helsinki and Stockholm. An attempt is made to clarify different functions of code-switching, i.e. why bilingual adolescents code-switch from Swedish to Finnish and vice versa. The conversational data, consisting of video-recorded group and pair conversations, was collected in 2014–2015 at six junior high schools in Haparanda, Helsinki and Stockholm. The analysis of the data is qualitative. The theoretical framework is found in the field of translanguaging, which aims to desc…

Conventional Theory’s Relevance: Evidence from Japan
2019
Abstract The formidable surge in the volume of international trade after 1960 stimulated surveys designed to ascertain to what degree the commercial flows among nations reflected the structure of their economies, in other words, how tight was the correlation between international exchanges and the specific attributes of participating nations. In fact, scholars were keen to test the relevance of the conventional Heckscher-Ohlin theory, that is, to what extent did nations’ exports reflect their endowment with factors of production, more specifically, whether their exports used their abundant factors intensively. I try to show that, although most of the tests reached their purpose in that they…
Metaforas modes emuāros
2017
Lai gan metaforas pētījumi ir piesaistījuši daudzu zinātnieku uzmanību, metaforu lietojums modes emuāros nav daudz pētīts. Emuārs kā žanrs parādījās 2000.gadu sākumā un kopš tā laika ir izveidojušies dažādi emuāra veidi. Empīriskie dati ir ekscerpēti no modes emuāra The Blonde Salad. Pētījums ir izstrādāts, lai atbildētu uz pētījuma jautājumu - kāda metaforu funkcija dominē emuārā The Blonde Salad. Pētījuma mērķis ir noteikt avota domēnus, kas metaforiski raksturo modi izvēlētajā modes emuārā. Teorētiskā pētījuma daļa ir balstīta uz teorijām par metaforām, to funkcijām un iedalījumu tādu zinātnieku kā Lakofs, Džonsons, Gibs, Knovles, Mūns un Kovecses skatījumā. Empīŗiskais pētījums ir veikt…
A CUDA-based implementation of an improved SPH method on GPU
2021
We present a CUDA-based parallel implementation on GPU architecture of a modified version of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. This modified formulation exploits a strategy based on the Taylor series expansion, which simultaneously improves the approximation of a function and its derivatives with respect to the standard formulation. The improvement in accuracy comes at the cost of an additional computational effort. The computational demand becomes increasingly crucial as problem size increases but can be addressed by employing fast summations in a parallel computational scheme. The experimental analysis showed that our parallel implementation significantly reduces the runti…
Gender-Typed Sport Practice, Physical Self-Perceptions, and Performance-Related Emotions in Adolescent Girls
2020
Youth sport experience provides opportunities for physical, personal, and social development in youngsters. Sport is a social system in which socially constructed gender differences and stereotypes are incorporated, and specific sport activities are often perceived as gender characterized. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between some salient physical and emotional self-perceptions and the type of sport practiced. A sample of 261 female athletes, aged 14–21 years (Mage = 15.59, SD = 2.00), practicing different sports, categorized as feminine (e.g., artistic and rhythmic gymnastics), masculine (e.g., soccer and rugby), or neutral (e.g., track and field and tennis),…
Electrical measurements of femtosecond laser treated graphene
2017
Tutkielman pääasiallinen tavoite oli valmistaa sähköisiin mittauksiin sopivia grafeenilaitteita ja tutkia femtosekuntilaserkäsittelyn vaikutusta grafeenin sähköisiin ominaisuuksiin. Tutkielmassa käsitellään grafeenin valmistamista kemiallisella kaasufaasipinnoituksella, laitegeometrian määrittelyä ja käsittelemättömän, sekä femtosekuntilaserilla käsitellyn grafeenin sähköisiä mittauksia. Grafeenin synteesin alustana käytettiin kupariohutkalvoja ja pääasiallisena lähtöaineena oli etanoli tai metaani. Metaanin käyttö grafeenin synteesissä johti paremmin toistettaviin tuloksiin. Lisäksi havaittiin, että synteesissä käytetyn uunin latausjärjestelmän teräksinen osa lisäsi kupariohutkalvon reikii…
