How Hand Gestures Contribute to Action Ascription
2019
This article investigates the embodied achievement of intersubjectivity by analyzing depictive gestures that are produced during the final components of the ongoing verbal TCU and extended into the following turn transition space. The depictive gestures in focus elaborate the TCUs by providing additional information on the verbal content of the turn. They may, for example, provide a visual representation of an action that is referred to in the verbal TCU, depict details that are not referred to in talk, or perform bodily enactments that model projected next actions. The analysis demonstrates that timed in this way, the gestures contribute to the multimodal action package that they are part …

Biocultural conflicts: understanding complex interconnections between a traditional ceremony and threatened carnivores in north Kenya
2022
Abstract Biological and cultural diversity are inextricably linked and rapidly eroding worldwide. As a response, many conservation efforts foster synergies between cultural and biological diversity agendas through biocultural approaches. However, such approaches do not always address biocultural conflicts, where certain cultural practices can lead to biodiversity loss and, in turn, threaten the continuance of such practices. In this study, we examined a biocultural conflict in the Dimi ceremony, the most important rite of passage of the Daasanach agro-pastoralists of north Kenya, in which skins from threatened carnivore species are used extensively as traditional ornaments. We quantified th…
Assessing tolerance for wildlife: human-elephant conflict in Chimanimani, Mozambique
2020
Human–elephant conflict (HEC) is a common problem for rural populations in sub-Saharan Africa. Recent studies have shown that willingness to tolerate wildlife is largely a function of perceived risks and benefits, but most technical assessments are limited to the immediate cause of the conflict and neglect the broader socioeconomic and political contexts. Based on two sets of interviews, this article provides a socioeconomic analysis of HEC in the buffer zone of Chimanimani National Reserve in Mozambique. Although traditional methods to scare off elephants were found to have little effect, a beehive fence introduced in 2016 initially appeared to be successful. However, follow-up three years…

Early prediction of reading : phonological awareness and related language and cognitive skills in children with a familial risk for dyslexia
2007
PsL Anne Puolakanaho selvitti väitöstutkimuksessaan, miten leikki-ikäisten 3 - 5-vuotiaiden lasten kielelliset ja kognitiiviset taidot ovat yhteydessä lukemisen virheettömyyteen ja sujuvuuteen kouluiässä. Puolakanaho tutki myös, missä määrin dysleksiaa eli sitkeää lukemisvaikeutta voidaan ennakoida lapsikohtaisesti, yksilöllisten riskitekijöiden perusteella jo huomattavasti ennen esikouluikää. Aiemmin lukutaitoa ennustavaa tutkimusta on tehty vanhemmilla lapsilla ja lähinnä kirjoitusjärjestelmältään epäsäännöllisessä englannin kielessä. - Myös kirjoitusjärjestelmältään säännönmukaisessa suomen kielessä leikki-ikäisten fonologis-kielelliset taidot kuten kyky tunnistaa puheesta tavuja ja äänt…
Will Second Life Help Me Survive in Italy?

Philosophy and language in young Nietzsche
2015
Resumo:O objetivo deste estudo é a exposição da filosofia da linguagem que Nietzsche apresenta em suas primeiras obras, sobretudo em seu decisivo escrito póstumo de 1873. São considerados três aspectos da trajetória de Nietzsche. Seu interesse pela linguagem poética e musical, desde a juventude; sua formação em filologia clássica; suas investigações filosóficas sobre o tema. Pretendemos mostrar como, nesse período, se parte de uma concepção metafísica para uma visão mais linguística. Nietzsche parte do fundamento metafísico para uma versão da linguagem como relação de signos e símbolos. Abstract:The purpose of this study is the explanation of the philosophy of language that Nietzsche presen…
Härmistetty kuolema: pelonhallintaa zombi-kuvakirjoissa
2018
Artikkeli tarkastelee zombikuvakirjojen tapoja käsitellä zombeissa ruumiillistuvaa rumaa ja väkivaltaista kuolemaa. Se keskittyy erityisesti tapoihin, joilla zombeihin liittyviä pelkoja pyritään kuvakirjoissa hallitsemaan. Kaunistavan, tieteellisiä selityksiä painottavan estetisoinnin lisäksi se tarttuu esteettisen härmistämisen käsitteeseen, eräänlaiseen naurettavaksi tekevään rumentamiseen, jonka se liittää taikauskoon ja kuvamagiaan. Vaikka esteettistä härmistämistä voidaan pitää animistisuudessaan jossain määrin primitiivisenä ja lapsellisena esitystapana, artikkeli esittää, että se on lopulta melko yleinen populaarikulttuurinen pelonhallinnan tapa. Alentaessaan ja karnevalisoidessaan y…
