Studying in Comprehensive School with Low Second Language Writing Proficiency
2013
In this article, we report a case study on the Finnish as an L2 writing skill of weak writers in grades 7–9 of comprehensive school. The study is based on writing performances of 25 students who each completed four different writing tasks (i.e., 100 texts) and a questionnaire about their background information, self-assessment of writing and literacy practices. First, we discuss target language writing proficiency in the school context from the curriculum and pedagogical point of view. Then we present the results of the questionnaire data and focus on the performances of writers with A1 writing proficiency on the CEFR scale. The findings show that students with low writing proficiency in fa…
The effects of socio-scientific issue based inquiry learning on pupils’ representations of landscape
2016
AbstractResearch has demonstrated that socio-scientific issues based inquiry learning has significant advantages for learning outcomes and students’ motivation. Further, a successful understanding of landscapes in environmental and geographical education can be achieved by combining informal learning environments with school education. Therefore this case study focuses on how socio-scientific issues based inquiry learning carried out in school and in a Nature Park, influences primary school pupils’ (n = 36) representations of landscapes. The pupils were asked to draw and write about landscape both before and after intervention. The data was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively to inves…
Nomadtown, Manifesting the Global Village Hypothesis: A Case Study of a Rural Resilience Hub Within an Educational Milieu in North Karelia, Finland
2022
Artikkelissa esitellään NomadTown, joka on hätätilojen ennakointiin, torjuntaan ja sopeutumiseen sekä myönteisten vaikutusten tuottamiseen toimintansa perustava “resilienssihubi”. Artikkelissa hahmotellaan NomadTowniin kehittyneen alakulttuurin koulutuksellista taustaa ja tehdään syvällinen kuvaus NomadTownia ympäröivästä yhteiskunnasta oppimisen paikkana. Tämä kontekstuaalisointi nojaa tietoisuuteen dispositiivista Foucault'n tarkoittamassa mielessä. Tekstissä arvioidaan yhdistysten yhteiskuntaekologian, jonka puitteisiin tämä resilienssikeskus on asettumassa, soveltuvuutta ilmastonmuutoksen torjunnan edellyttämään suureen yhteiskunnalliseen transitioon. Lisäksi arvioidaan kuinka verkostom…
Keresztény iskolai nyelvi tájkép
2017
Irasomban az oktatas targyi kornyezetenek es az iskolai műveltsegnek a kapcsolatat elemzem az iskolai nyelvi tajkep vizsgalatanak keretein belul. Esettanulmanykent egy finnorszagi kereszteny iskolaval foglalkozom. Mig a finn oktatasi rendszerben (a tantervben es az oktatas szervezeseben) a vallasos műveltseg mas műveltsegteruletektől elkulonulten jelenik meg, a vizsgalt kereszteny iskola pedagogiai gyakorlatat a vallasos es nem vallasos műveltseget (ujra)egyesitő szemlelet hatarozza meg. Kulcsszavak: iskolai nyelvi tajkep, iskolai műveltseg, finn oktatas, Biblia, ima. In this paper, I deal with connections between the material environment of education and school literacy in the framework of…
Optimal Spectral Wavelengths for Discriminating Orchard Species Using Multivariate Statistical Techniques
2019
Sustainable management of orchard fields requires detailed information about the tree types, which is a main component of precision agriculture programs. To this end, hyperspectral imagery can play a major role in orchard tree species mapping. Efficient use of hyperspectral data in combination with field measurements requires the development of optimized band selection strategies to separate tree species. In this study, field spectroscopy (350 to 2500 nm) was performed through scanning 165 spectral leaf samples of dominant orchard tree species (almond, walnut, and grape) in Chaharmahal va Bakhtiyari province, Iran. Two multivariable methods were employed to identify the optimum wavelengths:…
Kokemuksia mielisairaalasta : muistoihin kaivertuneet tilat
2022
Suomessa psykiatrinen hoito on ollut pitkään hyvin laitoskeskeistä, ja mielisairaalat ovat kuuluneet monin tavoin suomalaisten elämään. Kokemuksia mielisairaalasta valottaa historian, kulttuurisen mielenterveystutkimuksen ja taiteellisen tutkimuksen keinoin sitä, miten mielisairaalat muistetaan. Millaisia tunteita ja ruumiillisia muistoja liittyy sairaalassa vietettyyn aikaan? Millaisena 1930-luvun potilas koki mielisairaalan, ja miten potilaat kertovat sairaalassa kohtaamastaan pakosta ja väkivallasta? Millainen sairaalakokemus on jättänyt hyvät ja lämpimät muistot? Monitieteinen teos perustuu ainutlaatuiseen muistitietoaineistoon, joka avaa uusia näkökulmia mielisairaaloiden arkeen, histo…
Men and women in positions of responsibility: A qualitative analysis of organizational readiness in France and Finland
2016
This paper examines whether male and female managers hold different opinion on women in managerial and higher level positions, depending on their different cultural background. Furthermore, the paper deals with managers’ perception of organizational readiness to accept women in managerial positions. The paper is looking at this aspect from a cultural perspective, by comparing France to Finland. The research is based on 16 interviews, 9 from France and 7 from Finland, with individuals in different managerial positions in 10 private companies located in both countries. Findings indicate that regardless of the country and of the cultural backgrounds, organizations are not ready to let women cl…
Botulinum Toxin A for Oral Cavity Cancer Patients: In Microsurgical Patients BTX Injections in Major Salivary Glands Temporarily Reduce Salivary Prod…
2012
Abstract: In patients suffering from oral cavity cancer surgical treatment is complex because it is necessary to remove carcinoma and lymph node metastasis (through a radical unilateral or bilateral neck dissection) and to reconstruct the affected area by means of free flaps. The saliva stagnation in the post-operative period is a risk factor with regard to local complications. Minor complications related to saliva stagnation (such as tissue maceration and wound dehiscence) could become major complications compromising the surgery or the reconstructive outcome. In fact the formation of oro-cutaneous fistula may cause infection, failure of the free flap, or the patient’s death with carotid b…
Diseño y puesta a punto de un método cefalométrico en 3D para el estudio de la población ortodóncica
2011
Introducción: La introducción de la tomografía computarizada de haz cónico (CBCT) y su aplicación clínica a la imagen craneofacial tridimensional (3D) supone una herramienta diagnóstica esencial para el clínico. Objetivos: 1-Evaluar la reproducibilidad en la localización de puntos cefalométricos pertenecientes a tejidos duros del cráneo sobre imágenes escaneadas con un equipo CBCT 2-Comprobar si los valores de diferentes mediciones de las reconstrucciones 3D del CBCT se pueden comparar a las mediciones realizadas sobre imágenes 2D de la telerradiografía lateral de cráneo y comparar también si existen diferencias entre dos tipos diferentes de software de CBCT. 3-Diseñar un método cefalométri…
Dynamiques de développement et inégalités régionales en Chine
2009
Le rapide développement économique de la Chine a généré des inégalités socio-spatiales croissantes, qui se marquent par un décalage croissant entre provinces littorales et intérieures, et entre villes et campagnes. À partir de l’examen des données statistiques officielles chinoises, on peut clairement repérer une aggravation des déséquilibres internes de la Chine, qui sont des facteurs potentiels de déstabilisation sociale, en particulier dans le cas des paysans venus tenter leur chance dans les grandes aires urbaines littorales, ou chassés de leurs terres par l’expansion périmétropolitaine. Cela entraîne aujourd’hui une politique différenciée d’aménagement du territoire chinois visant à co…
