Återbesök till feedback : en fallstudie av fokus och form på webbkursen Hjälpis

2017

Tämän maisterintutkielman tutkimuskohteena on palaute Jyväskylän yliopiston Kielikeskuksen valinnaisella ruotsin Hjälpis-verkkokurssilla. Tutkintovaatimuksiin pakollisena kuuluvan toisen kotimaisen kielen, ruotsin taitojen osoittamisen KORU-arviointikriteerien B1-tasolla on aikaisemmissa tutkimuksissa arvioitu olevan haaste riittämättömien taitojen takia jopa puolelle yliopisto-opiskelijoista. Koulutusasteelta toiselle siirryttäessä minimivaatimustaso on korkeampi eikä nivelly, jos opiskelijat ovat selvinneet kursseista lukiossa vain oppimäärän vähimmäistavoitteet saavuttaen. Hjälpis-kurssilla tätä puutteellisen osaamistason ja vaatimusten välistä eroa pyritään kaventamaan itseohjautuvuudel…

The Clinical Value of Autoantibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

2018

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a highly heterogeneous syndrome in terms of clinical presentation, progression, and response to therapy. In such a complicated context, the identification of disease-related biomarkers would be undoubtedly helpful in assisting tailored approaches for every patient. Despite remarkable efforts, however, progress in new biomarker development and validation is dramatically slow. At present, none of the candidate genetic, cellular, or molecular biomarker has yet surpassed the clinical value of RA-specific autoantibodies, including rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein autoantibodies (ACPA). Rather, recent years have witnessed significant advancements …

Casual, Colloquial, Commonsensical: A News Values Stylistic Analysis of a Populist Newsfeed

2021

This study explores a mediated variety of right-wing populist discourse in the digital context, given the populists’ inclination to bypass legacy media to connect directly to the citizens to garner political support. It analyzes a sample of the Tea Party’s newsfeed headlines posted in the spring of 2019. A corpus of 308 headlines collected according to a “constructed week” formula has been coded first according to selected news values parameters (Bednarek and Caple 2017), and then with respect to stylistic devices operationalized in terms of “casual,” “colloquial” and “commonsensical” expressions. Methodologically, the study aims to combine the perspectives of newsworthiness and stylistics …

GRANULAR-INFORMATION-BASED RISK ANALYSIS IN UNCERTAIN SITUATIONS

2006

In the real life almost all of the decisions that we have to make incorporate uncertainty about the future events. Assessment of the uncertainty and, thus, the risk that is inherent in these decisions models can be critical. It is even truer if we are talking about the possibility of negative impact on the environment. It is very important to assess all the environmental risks in a project if there is any hazard to the environment. In this paper the possibility of using granular information is considered. The main advantage of the granular information is that it can be used to assess risks in situations when information about future events is incomplete and imprecise. Moreover, we can use n…

Grimaces et lèvres pincées : remarques sur la ritualisation pénale (Pascal, Wittgenstein) (Grimaces and Pursed Lips: Remarks on the judicial ritualiz…

2018

Cet article vise à clarifier le recours à une famille de métaphores qui entoure fréquemment le procès (ritualisation, théâtralisation, mise en scène, cérémonie de type religieux), et défend la thèse que la notion de ritualisation judiciaire exprime avant tout la louable intention d'accorder à la justice internationale pénale un temps et des occasions sans finalité préconçue, mais qui permettent la manifestation d'une diversité d'émotions. Il prend principalement appui sur la comparaison des Pensées et des Lettres provinciales de Pascal d'une part, sur le…

Modeling ontologies for robotic environments

2002

On the basis of a multiple abstraction levels specification process, we developed a representational model for environmental robotic knowledge through the definition of a set of ontologies using a multi perspective approach. A general ontological model for typical indoor environments has been first developed, followed by its specialization using an implementation perspective. Actual software implementation of the ontology has been obtained via a XML-based markup language, used to build a repository for robotic environmental knowledge. Copyright 2002 ACM.

A Roles-Based Approach to Variable-Oriented Programming

2008

Delocalized variable plans pose problems for novice programmers trying to read and write programs. Variable-oriented programming is a programming paradigm that emphasizes the importance of variable-related plans, and localizes actions pertaining to each variable together in one place in the program code. This paper revisits the idea of variable-oriented programming and shows how it can be founded on roles of variables: stereotypes of variable use suitable for teaching to novices. The paper sketches out how variable-oriented, roles-based programming could be implemented using either a new programming language or a framework built on an existing language. The possible applications, merits, an…

L’enseignement des expressions figées par le biais du roman graphique Persépolis

2019

The constant search for suitable teaching materials to achieve the linguistic skills provided by a language teaching course, finds in authentic documents an important instrument for teaching foreign languages. The scientific literature attesting to the effectiveness of the authentic material is wide and consolidated; indeed, a text conceived by a native for a native, and, therefore, not developed for the sole purpose of teaching a foreign language, is intrinsically carrying a cultural richness and a linguistic variety, which are rarely present in any didactic artifact. The authentic material therefore represents an opportunity to meet the fixed expressions that are part of the communicative…
