Ethics of data journalism : Four ethical phases in the working process
2016
A paper presented at Nordic Data Journalism Conference NODA 2016, 21 April 2016 in Helsinki, Finland. Data journalism has emerged remarkably during the last years. Discussions of data journalism have mostly concentrated on access to data, preparing a data story and providing truthful information based on data. However, ethical requirements and responsibilities of data journalism have not been widely discussed. For instance, press councils do not particularly discuss data and its impact on journalism ethics. Data when mentioned in the codes usually refer to information and its accuracy requirements to be take into consideration in information gathering and publishing. This paper analyses eth…
Politics and the ‘Ideology’ of Journalism in Romania: Results from Local Case Studies
2011
Abstract The paper approaches the ‘ideology’ of Romanian post-communist journalism as identified in local news media organisations. We focus on the practical philosophy of journalism, emphasizing elements such as autonomy, truth, objectivity; and the relationship of journalists and news organisations with political actors. Special attention is given to the interplay between this practical philosophy and the political and economic constraints influencing news media organisations in Romania. We approach this topic using in-depth interviews with journalists and editors from news media organisations in three Romanian cities. We argue that two different ‘ideologies’ of journalism as a profession…

In today’s world, international tourism is one of the most quickly and dynamically developing sectors of economy. In the year 2012 – for the first time in the history of mankind – international tourist arrivals exceeded the milestone of one billion tourists globally, and within merely the 20 years’ time, i.e. between 1995 and 2015, the number of people travelling abroad as tourists more than d o u b l e d. The phenomenon also refers to the inbound tourism in Poland – with more than 16 million international tourists who visited our country in 2015. Obviously, on the one hand, the fact is highly beneficial to the state’s international prestige and economy, but on the other one – it does creat…
Acquisition of english as a second language by students with Asperger Syndrome: a theoretical approach
2015
Partimos de diferenciar entre el Síndrome de Asperger (SA) y el Autismo de alto funcionamiento (AAF) dentro de los Trastornos del Espectro Autista (TEA) considerando tres características principales: individuos con SA muestran un CI elevado, falta de retraso en la adquisición del lenguaje (AL) y una posible facilidad en la adquisición de segundas lenguas (ASL). Además, tratamos los factores y características –favorables y desfavorables- que los/as estudiantes con SA y su profesorado deben considerar al abordar la ASL del inglés. El estudio contribuye a ofrecer una perspectiva más amplia de las teorías contemporáneas sobre ASL y a proporcionar una base sólida para un futuro estudio de campo …
Comprehension of Generalized Conversational Implicatures by Children With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorder
2018
This study evaluates the comprehension of generalized conversational implicatures (GCI) in children with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD), using a GCI test constructed based on the Levinson model, which distinguishes between three types of implicatures: type Q (or scalar: “what is not referred to does not occur”); type I (“by default, it is not necessary to say what can be assumed”); and type M (“if someone is expressing something in a not very simple or marked way, it is because s/he is describing a situation that is not very typical, frequent, or prototypical”). In addition to the ASD group (n = 22), two comparison groups were utilized: a group matched on chronological age with …
Interventions for Improving Reading Comprehension in Children with ASD: A Systematic Review.
2021
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have comorbid learning difficulties in reading comprehension, an essential skill in accessing any area of the curriculum. The aim of this systematic review is to analyze the effectiveness of reading comprehension interventions in students with ASD. We conducted a search for scientific articles published from 2000 to 2019 using the keyword “autis*” in combination with the terms “reading comprehension” and “intervention” or “instruction” in Psyc Info and Scopus databases. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 25 studies were selected. The content analysis of these studies shows that when specific interventions are carrie…
Social Cognition in Children with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Associations with Executive…
2017
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by social impairments. The first objective of this study was to analyze social cognition deficits of children with ADHD, high-functioning ASD (HFASD), and typical development (TD) in their performance on explicit and applied measures of theory of mind (ToM). The second objective was to investigate the relationships between executive functions and social cognition in HFASD and ADHD. One hundred and twenty-six 7- to 11-year old children, 52 with HFASD, 35 with ADHD, and 39 with TD, performed the NEPSY-II social perception subtests. Parents estimated their children’…
¿Quién sabe si es posible saber lo que es justo? la teoría del conocimiento y el estatuto epistemológico de las ciencias normativas: a propósito de H…
2011
RESUMEN En esta comunicación se sugiere una revisión de la clásica escisión entre teorías cognotivistas y no cognotivistas, a la luz que pueda resultar del repaso a algunos hitos de la teoría del conocimiento como nueva “filosofía primera” o “filosofía primera” propia de la modernidad y que debieron afectar a la cuestión del estatuto epistemológico de las llamadas ciencias normativas. Se hace especial referencia a la teoría del conocimiento de David Hume. ABSTRACT In this paper we suggest a revision of the classic division between cognotivistic and non cognotivistic points of view after reviewing some “highlights” of the theory of knowledge as a new "first philosophy" or philosophy of mod…
Els «criteris de visibilització de les dones» en català: límits sintacticosemàntics i discursius
2013
L'objectiu d'aquest article és analitzar els principals criteris que les guies d'estil recomanen per visibilitzar les dones ¿o per fer un ús no sexista del llenguatge¿ des de dos punts de vista: el sintacticosemàntic i el discursiu. Des del punt de vista sintacticosemàntic, s'estudien bàsicament els fenòmens relacionats amb la coordinació, la concordança i la repetició o elisió d'elements (per exemple, especificadors del nom), i la manera com les diferents opcions afecten el significat oracional. Des del punt de vista discursiu, s'analitzen els fenòmens relacionats amb la coreferència; és a dir, la relació entre les diferents maneres d'expressar un mateix referent per mitjà d'elements nomin…
La città di Francesc Eiximenis. A proposito del «Dotzè del Crestià», I, 1
2007
The work «Lo Crestià» by Eiximenis is an encyclopaedic project that develops, among many other subjects, the political worries of his author. The Dotzè is the place where the ideas about the ideal society, a society that takes form in the space of the city, are related. Which exactly the image of the ideal city is and with which sources Eiximenis works, is the central subject of this article. Some of these sources have been fully studied, one of them being, for example, the relationship between the Dotzè with the Politics by Aristotle. This is one of the aspects that places the book within Aristotle’s trend of modernization of political language, a reference point that surpasses an influenc…
