Identification of proprioceptive thalamocortical tracts in children: comparison of fMRI, MEG, and manual seeding of probabilistic tractography
2022
Publisher Copyright: © The Author(s) 2022. Published by Oxford University Press. Studying white matter connections with tractography is a promising approach to understand the development of different brain processes, such as proprioception. An emerging method is to use functional brain imaging to select the cortical seed points for tractography, which is considered to improve the functional relevance and validity of the studied connections. However, it is unknown whether different functional seeding methods affect the spatial and microstructural properties of the given white matter connection. Here, we compared functional magnetic resonance imaging, magnetoencephalography, and manual seedin…
Ruokaa lähiöistä ja lakeuksilta – paikallisuusdiskurssien ilmeneminen elintarvikemainoksista
2017
Käsittelen tässä tutkielmassa paikallisuuden representoitumista elintarvikemainoksista sekä teksteistä ilmeneviä paikallisuuden diskursseja. Tutkimuskysymykseni ovat: 1) Millaisia paikallisuusdiskursseja mainoksissa rakentuu? ja 2) Miten paikallisuutta ilmaistaan mainoksissa kielellisesti ja multimodaalisesti? Tutkimukseni tavoitteena on tuottaa tietoa siitä, miten paikallisuutta hyödynnetään mainostamisessa erilaisten diskurssien avulla, kuvata paikallisuuden merkitystä mainonnassa ja eritellä erilaisia kielellisiä ja multimodaalisia keinoja tuoda paikallisuutta esille. Keskityn tutkielmassani nimenomaan ruokaan ja elintarvikkeisiin liittyviin mainoksiin, sillä uskon lähi– ja paikallisruoa…
Motivic Pattern Extraction in Music, and Application to the Study of Tunisian Modal Music
2007
A new methodology for automated extraction of repeated patterns in time-series data is presented, aimed in particular at the analysis of musical sequences. The basic principles consists in a search for closed patterns in a multi-dimensional parametric space. It is shown that this basic mechanism needs to be articulated with a periodic pattern discovery system, implying therefore a strict chronological scanning of the time-series data. Thanks to this modelling global pattern filtering may be avoided and rich and highly pertinent results can be obtained. The modelling has been integrated in a collaborative pro ject between ethnomusicology, cognitive sciences and computer science, aimed at the…
"Experience the real New Zealand - Maori culture as it is today" : representations of New Zealand and Maoris in Maori tourism websites
2012
Matkailu on maailmanlaajuisesti merkittävä ja kasvava ala. Uudessa-Seelannissa matkailulla on ollut jo pitkään merkittävä vaikutus talouteen ja koko yhteiskuntaan. Maorit ovat Uuden-Seelannin alkuperäiskansa ja vähemmistökulttuuri, sillä heitä on noin 15 prosenttia maan väestöstä. Tähän vähemmistöasemaan liittyen onkin mielenkiintoista tutkia minkälaisia representaatioita he luovat itse omasta kulttuuristaan. Matkailuun liittyy vahvasti mielikuvien luominen, sillä useimmat kulttuureihin liittyvistä matkailutuotteista perustuvat elämysten tarjoamiseen konkreettisten tuotteiden sijaan. Nämä mielikuvat ja representaatiot ovatkin tutkielman keskiössä. Tämän tutkielman tavoitteena on selvittää, …
Historia y evolución del acogimiento familiar de menores y el contexto de la Comunidad Valenciana
2012
En este articulo presentamos la historia y evolución del Sistema de Protección a la Infancia, y más concretamente el recurso del acogimiento familiar de menores, a lo largo de los últimos veinticinco años. En el mismo diferenciamos dos partes: La primera, referida a la génesis del marco legislativo -internacional y estatal-, y la concreción de las modalidades de acogimiento en familia ajena y extensa. En la segunda parte se desarrolla el transcurso del acogimiento familiar de menores en el contexto de la Comunidad Valenciana. This article presents the history and evolution undergone over the last twenty-five years by the System for Minor Protection, and more specifically the solution of fos…
The design of waiting and storage areas to improve the efficiency of the marine intermodal terminals
2013
The correct sizing of storage areas in the port areas is aimed to optimizing the management of intermodal transport and to ensure efficiency and functionality to the entire port system. In this paper is proposed a simulation model for design the port storage areas taking into account many parameters like: the service time, the randomness of the arrivals process, the storage capacity in terms of TEU that can be stored (and handled) in the unit of time. The capacity of the terminal warehouse is determined by the interrelation between fixed and static parameters in the short period which are: i) the extension of the storage area; ii) the height of the overlapping batteries of container (define…
Men will be Men? : Masculinities on display in the Facebook communication practices of Pakistani men
2021
In the past decade, the popularization of social media in Pakistan has greatly influenced the way in which people communicate and interact with each other. The rapidly evolving nature of online social media communication in the country when viewed against the backdrop of the country’s socio-cultural characteristics and religion is particularly significant. Facebook, being the prime social media platform in Pakistan has been revolutionary and liberating because while acting as a medium of communication, which transgresses the traditional manner of gendered social interactions, it has at the same time enabled the users to perpetuate and reinforce the existing gender ideology. As a result, Fac…
The Potentials of Tangible Technologies for Learning Linear Equations
2020
Tangible technologies provide interactive links between the physical and digital worlds, thereby merging the benefits of physical and virtual manipulatives. To explore the potentials of tangible technologies for learning linear equations, a tangible manipulative (TM) was designed and developed. A prototype of the initial TM was implemented and evaluated using mixed methods (i.e., classroom interventions, paper-based tests, thinking aloud sessions, questionnaires, and interviews) in real classroom settings. Six teachers, 24 primary school students, and 65 lower secondary school students participated in the exploratory study. The quantitative and qualitative analysis revealed that the initial…
Software for the learning of mathematics through musical metaphors: The creation and evaluation process of PicaLab
2018
The PicaLab project proposes the design, development, and assessment of an integrated modular software solution involving sound and music, with the aim of improving mathematical learning in the third, fourth, and fifth levels of primary education in Chile. While these modular solutions were designed as resources for the classroom, students outside of that context can use them too. The process followed a methodology in several stages in order to generate multi-modal functional prototypes, together with their respective didactic guides, that link music and mathematics. These prototypes have been put through an iterative evaluation process leading up their final version. Results indicate an ex…
Awareness and partitional information structures
1994
This is the first of two papers where we present a formal model of unawareness. We contrast unawareness with certainty and uncertainty. A subject is certain of something when he knows that thing; he is uncertain when he does not know it, but he knows he does not: he is consciously uncertain. On the other hand, he is unaware of something when he does not know it, and he does not know he does not know, and so on ad infinitum: he does not perceive, does not have in mind, the object of knowledge. The opposite of unawareness is awareness, which includes certainty and uncertainty. This paper has three main purposes. First, we formalize the concept of awareness, and introduce a symmetry axiom whic…
