Greeks and Latins: a Disciplining Case in Monreale Archdiocese
2022
El objetivo de este artículo consiste en analizar la manera en que fueron articuladas las políticas de disciplinamiento en un contexto tan peculiar come el de la archidiócesis de Monreale, caracterizado por la coexistencia de dos comunidades de ritos diferentes, precisamente griego y latino. El estudio consta de dos partes principales: en la primera se reconstruye la llegada de los griegos-albaneses a Sicilia y la fundación de los asentamientos específicos para dichas poblaciones en el territorio de Monreale; en la segunda, mediante el análisis de las visitas pastorales llevadas a cabo en Piana dei Greci a caballo entre los siglos XVI y XVII, se analizan los diferentes mecanismos de discipl…
The Influence of Religion on Life Satisfaction in Italy
2021
Italy is the cradle of Catholicism and, despite the secularization process, religion continues to be part of its national culture. Although Italian sociologists have investigated the religious paradigm in Italy, there are aspects of such phenomenon still little explored. This paper examines the potential influence religion has on individuals’ life satisfaction. Data from the European Value Study survey provides evidence of a two-way interaction between religion and life satisfaction, with a substantial effect only in the case of public religious forms. This association seems to be moved by the mechanism of social support, and it differs across Italian regions. Results confirm the hypothesis…

Elites in Finnish energy policy and biogas as a motor vehicle fuel
2011
The intent of this research was to find out what is the state of Finnish energy policy when reviewing it from the vantage point of biogas as a motor vehicle fuel. It seemed, according to previous research, that Finnish energy policy is lead by an elite and that there was a lack in transparency of energy policy. Therefore, in addition to researching the question of transparency and the possible elite structure, the research questions were: Who are these elites? Why do they exist and what makes others not members of the elite? Within what context do they exist? The question “Who?” will define the elite structure in Finland. “Why?” will tell us why this elite structure exists, thus giving poss…

It is designed to provide health providers, policy makers, and individuals with useful information and insights into these factors, particularly on social and intimate relationships. The National Opinion Research Center (NORC), along with Principal Investigators at the University of Chicago, conducte…
Social Participation Considered as Meaningful in old age − the Perceptions of Senior Housing Residents in Finland
2023
AbstractAs populations across the world age, there is a recognised need for promoting social participation in older adults. Previous studies related to social participation have addressed that interactions perceived as meaningful may improve quality of life in old age. However, what is less clear is the nature of such participation from the perspective of older adults, as the vast majority of studies have been quantitative. The present study aimed to explore what characterises social participation that contributes to a meaningful everyday life, from the viewpoint of independently living Finnish older adults. Thematic analysis was used as an interpretative method drawing on semi-structured i…
Health Promotion Interventions in Sports Clubs: Can We Talk About a Setting-Based Approach? A Systematic Mapping Review
2019
Many researchers and authorities have recognized the important role that sports clubs can play in public health. In spite of attempts to create a theoretical framework in the early 2000s, a thorough understanding of sports clubs as a setting for health promotion (HP) is lacking. Despite calls for more effective, sustainable, and theoretically grounded interventions, previous literature reviews have identified no controlled studies assessing HP interventions in sports clubs. This systematic mapping review details how the settings-based approach is applied through HP interventions in sports clubs and highlights facilitators and barriers for sports clubs to become health-promoting settings. In…

Bakalaura darba „„Pasaules Dabas fonda” (World Wildlife Fund) sociālo reklāmas kampaņu vizuālo statisko reklāmu semiotiskā un auditorijas analīze (2010 – 2014)” ietvaros tiek pētītas semiotiskās iezīmes šīs organizācijas reklāmās, kā arī auditorijas attieksme pret tām. Darba pētījuma mērķis – noskaidrot reklāmu vēstījumu ietekmējošos semiotiskos faktorus. Darbā ir apskatītas teorijas par sociālo mārketingu, reklāmu, vizuālo komunikāciju. Empīriskajā daļā ir veikta kontentanalīze un semiotiskā analīze par 88 vizuālajām statiskajām reklāmām, kā arī auditorijas aptauja. Rezultātā sniegtas atbildes uz pētnieciskajiem jautājumiem un izdarīti secinājumi par pētījuma rezultātiem.

Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, kādas saistības pastāv starp Instagram lietošanas intensitāti, apmierinātību ar dzīvi un sociālo salīdzināšanu. Datu ievākšanai tika izmantotas trīs aptaujas: Apmierinātības ar dzīvi skala (Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS); Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985; aptauju adaptējusi Anda Upmane, 2010), Sociālās salīdzināšanas skala (Social Comparison Scale; Allan & Gilbert, 1995; aptauju adaptējusi Liliāna Tamsone, 2015), Instagram lietošanas intensitātes skala (Instagram Intensity Scale (IIS); Kalinina, 2019 – aptauja tika adaptēta šī bakalaura darba ietvaros). Pētījumā piedalījās 102 respondenti (93 sievietes un 9 vīrieši) vecumā no 18 līdz 77 gadiem (M…
