Studying the Cognitive Map of the US States: Ideology and Prosperity Stereotypes Predict Interstate Prejudice
2018
What are the spontaneous stereotypes that U.S. citizens hold about the U.S. states? We complemented insights from theory-driven approaches to this question with insights from a novel data-driven approach. Based on pile sorting and spatial arrangement similarity ratings for the states, we computed two cognitive maps of the states. Based on ratings for the states on ∼20 candidate dimensions, we interpreted the dimensions that spanned the two maps (Studies 1 and 2). Consistent with the agency/socioeconomic success, conservative-progressive beliefs, and communion (ABC) model of spontaneous stereotypes, these dimensions that participants spontaneously used to rate the states’ similarity included…
The Radó–Kneser–Choquet theorem for $p$-harmonic mappings between Riemannian surfaces
2020
In the planar setting the Rad\'o-Kneser-Choquet theorem states that a harmonic map from the unit disk onto a Jordan domain bounded by a convex curve is a diffeomorphism provided that the boundary mapping is a homeomorphism. We prove the injectivity criterion of Rad\'o-Kneser-Choquet for $p$-harmonic mappings between Riemannian surfaces. In our proof of the injecticity criterion we approximate the $p$-harmonic map with auxiliary mappings that solve uniformly elliptic systems. We prove that each auxiliary mapping has a positive Jacobian by a homotopy argument. We keep the maps injective all the way through the homotopy with the help of the minimum principle for a certain subharmonic expressio…
Last millennium northern hemisphere summer temperatures from tree rings: Part I: The long term context
2016
Текст статьи не публикуется в открытом доступе в соответствии с политикой журнала. Large-scale millennial length Northern Hemisphere (NH) temperature reconstructions have been progressively improved over the last 20 years as new datasets have been developed. This paper, and its companion (Part II, Anchukaitis et al. in prep), details the latest tree-ring (TR) based NH land air temperature reconstruction from a temporal and spatial perspective. This work is the first product of a consortium called N-TREND (Northern Hemisphere Tree-Ring Network Development) which brings together dendroclimatologists to identify a collective strategy for improving large-scale summer temperature reconstructions…
Load-dependent alpha suppression is related to working memory capacity for numbers
2022
Alpha suppression is proposed to reflect a surge in cortical excitability to enhance stimulus processing in working memory. The attenuated state of alpha might reflect the prioritisation of behaviourally relevant information, making it a proxy for working memory functioning. Despite the growing interest in utilising the advancement of brain-based measures to evaluate individuals’ cognitive processes, there was a lack of consistent evidence on the relationship between alpha suppression and working memory performance. To investigate whether interindividual differences in alpha suppression might be related to variability in working memory capacity, we recorded participants’ electroencephalogra…
Drama - die Tür in neue Welten im Sprachunterricht : Mit dem Drama die Mündliche Sprachfähigkeit üben und bewerten
2010
Nykypäivän globalisoituneessa yhteiskunnassa kyky pystyä kommunikoimaan vieraalla kielellä on yhä tärkeämpää. Kieltä ei opita puhumaan täyttämällä mekaanisia aukkotehtäviä vaan käyttämällä kieltä. Uusien tehtävätyyppien jatkuva kehittäminen on todella tärkeää. Tämä pro gradu-tutkielma esittelee yhden tavan harjoittaa suullista kielitaitoa. Tarkoituksena oli tutkia, miten draama soveltuu suullisen kielitaidon harjoittamiseen ja miten draaman avulla voidaan sitä testata. Tutkimus kohdistettiin yläkoulun saksan opetukseen. Kielenopetuksen tavoitteena pitäisi olla kommunikatiivinen kompetenssi. Draama tarjoaa yhden tavan viedä opetusta kommunikatiivisempaan suuntaan. Draamapedagogiikka on kokon…
Openness and Discreteness
2013
The aim of this chapter is to study conditions under which a mapping of finite distortion is open (maps open sets to open sets) and discrete (preimage of each point is a discrete set).
Rossiâ - Polʹša: nesovpadenie pamâtej. Lingvističeskij aspekt
2017
„Memory turn” in the humanities allows to approach old problems from a new perspective. The author argues that the sphere of complicated Russian-Polish relations should be presented as a conflict between two distinct collective memories. The author considers “memory” as strictly interconnected with so called “non-memory” (i.e. as set of facts not related to memory or superseded by it). In principle, collective memory / non-memory can be subjected to linguistic analysis because it is verbalized and therefore it has its different verbal exponents. The author refers back to his concept of “mental geography” developed 20 years ago and argues that a multi-stage process of mapping two national me…

"Mi: t & Links. Baltic Communication Awards" kā gada komunikācijas nozares reprezentācija
2019
Šajā bakalaura darbā tiek aplūkots “Mi:t&links. Baltic Communication Awards” kā komunikācijas nozares gada sasniegumu reprezentācija. Lai to izpētītu, tika izvēlēts laika periods no 2017.gada līdz 2019.gadam jeb laiks, kad šī pasākuma identitāte tika mainīta no sabiedrisko attiecību konkursa “Baltic PR Awards” uz komunikācijas nozares konkursu ar nosaukumu “Mi:t&links. Baltic Communication Awards”. Kopš 2017.gada šo notikumu viedo mārketinga un sabiedrisko attiecību aģentūra “Public ID group” sadarbībā ar Latvijas Komunikācijas asociāciju. Lai noskaidrotu konkursa dalībnieku, žūrijas pārstāvju un organizatoru viedokli par pasākumu, vērtēšanas praksi, konkursa nozīmi vērtību nozarē un nozare…
