Social Network Banking : A Case Study of 100 Leading Global Banks
2018
Social media is widely recognized as a challenging new communication technology in both economic and social contexts. The present article explores how banks have exploited this technology in the range of consumer retail banking services offered by 100 leading global banks on the three major social networking sites (SNS): Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Viewing social network (SN) banking as a separate delivery channel and offering a working definition of SN banking, the article shows that banks have been more cautious than other businesses in using SNS. The available services are classified on nine main dimensions: marketing, financial education and advice, information support, customer sup…

Dance Like Someone is Watching
2018
Although dancing often takes place in social contexts such as a club or party, previous study of such music-induced movement has focused mainly on individuals. The current study explores music-induced movement in a naturalistic dyadic context, focusing on the influence of personality, using five-factor model (FFM) traits, and trait empathy on participants’ responses to their partners. Fifty-four participants were recorded using motion capture while dancing to music excerpts alone and in dyads with three different partners, using a round-robin approach. Analysis using the Social Relations Model (SRM) suggested that the unique combination of each pair caused more variation in participants’ a…
Social Media Monitoring for Crisis Communication: Process, Methods and Trends in the Scientific Literature
2014
This literature review study aims at clarifying current knowledge on social media monitoring from the perspective of organizational communication and public relations. It also contributes to crisis communication by shedding light on how fast developing social media discourse can be followed and analysed in order to understand citizens’ needs throughout all the phases of a crisis. The findings of this study reveal a number of insights in the scientific literature on the concept of monitoring, the monitoring process, methods, tools and solutions, methodological issues and trends covering the years 2009–2012. In the literature, social media monitoring is described as a process which comprises …
Millaista demokratiaa? : diskurssianalyysi tavoitellun kuntaliitoksen (Oulainen-Vihanti) keskusteluista vuosina 2011-2014
2014
Demokratian kehitys on huolestuttanut suomalaisia pitkään. Alenevat äänestysprosentit ja vaisu osallistuminen yhteisten asioiden hoitoon ovat saaneet aikaan sen, että Suomen valtiohallinnossa on paneuduttu voimakkaasti demokratian ongelmien kartoittamiseen ja suotuisan kehityksen aikaansaamiseen. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää kuntaliitosargumentaatiota vuosien 2011–2014 ajalta entisen Vihannin kunnan valtuuston pöytäkirjoista, paikallislehdistä ja kuntalaisten kommenteista sosiaalisessa mediassa. Ensiksi tarkastelun kohteena ovat argumentaatiot puolesta ja vastaan, kun kyseessä on Vihannin eteläosien liittäminen Oulaisten kaupunkiin. Toiseksi pureudutaan siihen, millaisena dem…
Development cooperation projects - on the road towards social organisational capital : case study: Latvia
2010
DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION PROJECTS – ON THE ROAD TOWARDS SOCIAL ORGANISATIONAL CAPITAL CASE STUDY: LATVIA Sintija Dutka Master’s Thesis Social and Public Policy / Master’s programme in Development and International Cooperation Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy University of Jyväskylä Instructor: Marja Järvelä English proof reader: Mark Dennis Time period: Autumn 2009 / Spring 2010 Pages: 97 pages + annex 4 pages The purpose of the thesis is to examine ways in which implementation of a development cooperation project influences the capacity of project implementing organisations in Latvia. Furthermore, the study aims to discover whether social capital generated during the project cyc…
John Dewey’s notion of social intelligence
2019
This chapter focuses on Deweyan understanding of intelligence as fundamentally social. This understanding differs from the common conceptions of intelligence as a feature of an isolated individual and/or as a possession of an elite. Starting with a look at the relevance of reconceptualizing intelligence, the chapter continues by describing how, according to Dewey’s theory, intelligence forms, manifests and cumulates in interactions. It then discusses the presumable implications of Dewey’s theory in terms of the contextuality of intelligent action, the importance of taking relevant experience-based information into account, the use of a particular method of inquiry, and modification of educa…
Skulls, Tree Bark, Fossils
2021
AbstractStudies of material objects in the field of memory studies have followed diverse epistemological and disciplinary trajectories, but their shared characteristic has been the questioning of philosophical assumptions concerning human relations with inanimate things and lower-level organic objects, such as plants, within the Aristotelian hierarchy of beings. Rather than accept at face value their categorizations as passive or deficient in comparison to the human subject, critical scholarship has reformulated the place and role of nonhuman entities in culture. This essay examines the nexus of materiality and memory in the work of the French philosopher and art historian Georges Didi-Hube…
Generalized finite difference schemes with higher order Whitney forms
2021
Finite difference kind of schemes are popular in approximating wave propagation problems in finite dimensional spaces. While Yee’s original paper on the finite difference method is already from the sixties, mathematically there still remains questions which are not yet satisfactorily covered. In this paper, we address two issues of this kind. Firstly, in the literature Yee’s scheme is constructed separately for each particular type of wave problem. Here, we explicitly generalize the Yee scheme to a class of wave problems that covers at large physics field theories. For this we introduce Yee’s scheme for all problems of a class characterised on a Minkowski manifold by (i) a pair of first ord…
Uniform rectifiability implies Varopoulos extensions
2020
We construct extensions of Varopolous type for functions $f \in \text{BMO}(E)$, for any uniformly rectifiable set $E$ of codimension one. More precisely, let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ be an open set satisfying the corkscrew condition, with an $n$-dimensional uniformly rectifiable boundary $\partial \Omega$, and let $\sigma := \mathcal{H}^n\lfloor_{\partial \Omega}$ denote the surface measure on $\partial \Omega$. We show that if $f \in \text{BMO}(\partial \Omega,d\sigma)$ with compact support on $\partial \Omega$, then there exists a smooth function $V$ in $\Omega$ such that $|\nabla V(Y)| \, dY$ is a Carleson measure with Carleson norm controlled by the BMO norm of $f$, and such th…
