MobileMonday culture : the lure of participatory space
2010
This master’s thesis explores participatory culture’s social logic and its manifestations in social media. It employs the case study method to examine participatory culture’s patterns of interaction through the experiences of participants in Mobile Monday, a global community sharing common professional interests in mobile communications. It provides an historical perspective on the technology and concepts used in social media, and applies a theoretical framework based on the premise of participatory culture as a manifestation of the postmodern condition, influenced by tacit aesthetics, and dominated by media culture. The framework includes aesthetic strategies related to social media and th…
Comparisons, Categories, and Labels: Investigating the North–South Dichotomy in Europe
2021
The paper presents genealogy-oriented analysis of how the Nordic model gained its dominant characterization as modern, advanced and superior to other European welfare models while Southern European countries came to be labelled laggards in the welfare domain. To illuminate the relational nature of these, and all, comparisons, the analysis accentuates how researchers, politicians, and civil servants alike designate Nordic and Southern European states, their societies, and their welfare models. The empirical analysis focuses on scholarly writings about welfare-state comparisons (1986–2017) and on European Union documents addressing cohesion policies (1986–2021). Analysis of the vocabulary and…
Stability of social support during school transitions: Associations with truancy and not completing upper secondary education in normative time
2022
Not completing upper secondary education is often presignaled by truancy from school. Student-perceived social support from family, peers, and teachers can prevent truancy and the risk of not completing education. However, prior studies have not focused on the stability of social support across school transitions. This longitudinal study of 1901 Finnish students examined the extent to which social support was stable or specific to primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary schools. Moreover, we examined whether support was associated with not completing upper secondary education in normative time and whether truancy mediated the relationship between support and not completing education. …
Vertex corrections for positive-definite spectral functions of simple metals
2016
We present a systematic study of vertex corrections in the homogeneous electron gas at metallic densities. The vertex diagrams are built using a recently proposed positive-definite diagrammatic expansion for the spectral function. The vertex function not only provides corrections to the well known plasmon and particle-hole scatterings, but also gives rise to new physical processes such as generation of two plasmon excitations or the decay of the one-particle state into a two-particles-one-hole state. By an efficient Monte Carlo momentum integration we are able to show that the additional scattering channels are responsible for the bandwidth reduction observed in photoemission experiments on…
Akomodācijas un verģences traucējumu izplatība skolas vecuma bērniem
2021
Bakalaura darbs ir uzrakstīts latviešu valodā uz 25 lappusēm. Tas satur 9 tabulas, 8 attēlus un 38 atsauces uz izmantoto literatūru. Darba mērķis bija novērtēt redzes funkciju traucējumu izplatību dažādās vecuma grupās. Tika novērtēti 889 skolēni no 7 skolām, kuriem piedaloties epidemioloģiskajā pētījumā tika veikta pilna redzes pārbaude. Darbs balstās uz Latvijas Universitātes 2011.-2013. gada redzes skrīninga projekta savāktiem datiem. Rezultāti parādīja, ka 26,3 % skolas vecuma bērniem ir akomodācijas traucējumi un 22,5 % ir veģences traucējumi. Visbiežāk sastopamas diagnozes ir akomodācijas ekscess vai aizdomas par to un konverģences nepietiekamība un aizdomas par to.

2017
«Hayao Miyazaki, la lámpara maravillosa. Un estudio de su cine y de sus referencias humanistas a la luz de las conexiones culturales entre Japón y Occidente». Bajo este título, ofrecemos una completa y profunda investigación centrada en la obra integral del realizador nipón Hayao Miyazaki (1941), aunque con especial incidencia en sus once largometrajes, su única serie televisiva como director absoluto y algunos cortometrajes y mangas. Dicha investigación, en la que desgranamos los temas rectores de su trabajo –lo fantástico, lo maravilloso y lo alegórico; el viaje iniciático y los límites de la magia; la «transtextualidad» y la interculturalidad; las creaciones y recreaciones espacio-tempor…
Linguistic representation of ethnicities in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag
2018
Tässä tutkimuksessa analysoidaan Assassin’s Creed: Black Flagia, suosittua historiallista seikkailuvideopelia (Ubisoft, 2013). Peli kertoo monisyisen tarinan, joka antaa pelaajille mahdollisuuden olla vuorovaikutuksessa hyvin kirjoitettujen, kolmiuloitteisten hahmojen kanssa. Pelihahmot edustavat lukuisia eri etnisiä ryhmiä ja heidät on sijoitettu huolellisesti rakennettuun historialliseen kontekstiin. Pelin monipuolinen ja monikielinen tapahtumapaikka on myös tärkeässä asemassa ja kieli on siinä erittäin tärkeä immersion, maailmanrakennuksen ja tarinankerronnan väline. Pelidiskursia analysoitiin sosiolingvistikan, proseduraalisen retoriikan, narratologian ja aiemman historiallisia seikkail…
