Explicit behavioral detection of visual changes develops without their implicit neurophysiological detectability

2012

Change blindness is a failure of reporting major changes across consecutive images if separated, e.g., by a brief blank interval. Successful change detection across interrupts requires focal attention to the changes. However, findings of implicit detection of visual changes during change blindness have raised the question of whether the implicit mode is necessary for development of the explicit mode. To this end, we recorded the visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) of the event-related potentials (ERPs) of the brain, an index of implicit pre-attentive visual change detection, in adult humans performing an oddball-variant of change blindness flicker task. Images of 500 ms in duration were prese…

Dyskeratosis congenita: Report of a case with literature review

2007

Leukoplakic lesion is not uncommon in clinical practice but its occurrence as a component of a syndrome is rare. Dyskeratosis congenita is a rare genodermatosis, which is characterized by triad of skin pigmentation, nail dystrophy and leukoplakic lesion in the oral cavity. It is important for dentists to now about Dyskeratosis Congenita because these leukoplakic lesions can spontaneously undergo malignant transformation. Majority of cases have been reported in dermatology or pediatrics literature whereas only few reports have appeared in dental literature. The purpose of reporting this case with review of recent literature is to create better awareness among dentists about the multisystem m…

A cross-cultural examination of fat women’s experiences: Stigma and gender in North American and Finnish culture

2019

In this manuscript, the voices of women of size in North America and Finland indicate that there is a shared experience of being fat. Based on cross-cultural analysis of our respective empirical findings, we argue that there is a shared Western fat lived experience that perpetuates a stigmatized gendered landscape of living with a fat body. The emergent themes tended to revolve around two similar contradictions—the phenomenon of hyper(in)visibility and a belief their fatness is a temporary or liminal state—both of which lead to an internalization of fat hatred. We argue that these findings stem from the tremendous stigma and mistreatment that both samples of women face in their daily lives.…

Vajavainen nainen : Freudin naiskuva Irigarayn silmin

2017

Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on esitellä Sigmund Freudin naiskuvaa sekä kritiikkiä jota Luce Irigarayn on tälle naiskuvalle esittänyt. Tutkielmassa tarkastelen Freudin käsitystä naisista Irigarayn Speculum of the Other Woman -teoksessa esittämän kritiikin kautta. Esittelen Freudin käsityksiä naisen kehityksestä ja naisen luonteesta Irigarayn viitoittaman – erityisesti Freudin “Femininity” -esseeseen kohdistuvan – kritiikin kautta. Freudin naiskuvaa tutkiessani minulle selvisi että Freudin esittelemässä mallissa – joka ei niinkään ole Freudin itsensä teoria vaan oikeastaan kuvaus Freudin aikana vallinneista käsityksistä – nainen on mysteerinen, passiivinen, hysteerinen ja melankolinen olen…

Finnish welfare service system from the standpoint of women in vulnerable life situations

2020

In this chapter, the authors analyse how the Finnish welfare service system, as it consists of different institutions and professionals, meets or fails to meet the needs of women in varying vulnerable life situations. The participants are women with severe substance abuse problems, women sentenced for committing a crime and poor lone mothers living on basic social benefits. The findings show that women’s experiences of encounters with welfare professionals as well as their access to and use of the services share a number of characteristics. They described several barriers and problems related to the complexity of the service system. These included receiving only limited support for basic ne…

Tarina viestinviejänä : tarinankerronta yritysten markkinointiviestinnän työkaluna

2015

Perehdyn pro gradu -tutkielmassani tarinoiden käyttöön yritysten markkinointiviestinnän välineenä. 2000-luvulla tarinoista ja tarinankerronnasta puhumisen voi sanoa tulleen muotiin yritysmaailmassa, ja ilmiö on poikinut runsaasti alan kirjallisuutta. Olen työssäni selvittänyt, mistä tarinailmiössä on kyse: mitä tarinoiden kertomisesta ja niillä vaikuttamisesta ajattelevat tutkijat, mitä viestinnän ja yritystoiminnan asiantuntijat, ja lopuksi, millaisia neuvoja käytännön viestintää toteuttaville annetaan ja mihin neuvot perustuvat. Viimeiseksi analysoin leipiä markkinoivia viestintätarinoita. Tuon työssäni yhteen viestinnäntutkimuksen, yhteiskunnallisen tutkimuksen, kirjallisuudentutkimuksen…

Oral Blue Nevus: Case Report

2016

Abstract: Aim of this research is the description of a case of palatal blue nevus and the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to adopt when this oral lesion occurs. Nevi are benign proliferations of nevus cells either in the epithelium or in the subepithelial stroma. Blue nevus of the oral mucosa is a rare lesion. The oral blue nevi are asymptomatic and have no malignant potential. More importantly blue nevus had to be differentiated from malignant melanoma. Because is difficult to distinguish oral melanocytic nevi from melanoma we believe that any oral lesion in question should be excised and sent for histopathologic evaluation.

Movescapes. Geografie del movimento fra spazio e rappresentazione

2013

This project has three main aims. First, it seeks to rethink space and spatiality from movement. To do this it follows some significant steps of philosophical tradition (Aristotle, Hegel, Heidegger, Merleau Ponty, Derrida, etc.) in an attempt to demonstrate the close relation between the movement of body and the production of space. No space would exist without an original movement producing it: the body comes out of himself, it spaces, and it is precisely in this dislocation that the spatiality is brought into being (Merleau Ponty). Bodies in motion produce space, but what happens if these bodies fall between the lines of a text or on the planes of a map? Can representational spaces hold t…
