Visual word recognition in fluent and dysfluent readers in the transparent Finnish orthography

Sublexical effects on eye movements during repeated reading of words and pseudowords in Finnish

2011

The role of different orthographic units (letters, syllables, words) in reading of orthographically transparent Finnish language was studied by independently manipulating the number of letters (NoL) and syllables (NoS) in words and pseudowords and by recording eye movements during repeated reading aloud of these items. Fluent adult readers showed evidence for using larger orthographic units in (pseudo)word recoding, whereas dysfluent children seem to be stuck in a letter-based decoding strategy, as lexicality and item repetition decreased the NoL effect only among adult readers. The NoS manipulation produced weak repetition effects in both groups. However, dysfluent children showed evidence…

The Timecourse of Sentence Processing in the Brain

2015

This chapter discusses the current state of the art with regard to the timecourse of sentence processing in the brain. It outlines the challenges associated with studying timecourse information at the sentence level from a neurobiological perspective and describes competing theoretical and empirical perspectives in this domain. In addition to drawing on findings from neurophysiological methods (electroencephalography [EEG]; magnetoencephalography [MEG]), insights from eye movement measures during natural reading are also taken into account. The chapter concludes that while we are currently unable to make absolute claims about the timecourse of sentence processing from a neurobiological pers…

Using eye-movement modelling examples to improve critical reading of multiple webpages on a conflicting topic

2022

This project investigates the effects of an EMME intervention on undergraduates' sourcing when reading conflicting multiple texts on the Internet. Dependent variables: eye-movements on SERP, webs header, texts authors, and texts; use of source information in summaries; ideas from texts in summaries.

Contemporary performance art by Helena Walsh: embodiment as empowerment in an Irish context

2016

Ever since the 1970s, performance artists have used their bodies as a means to question the patriarchal control of women. In Ireland, where the body is at the center of debates over contraception, abortion and divorce, feminist performance art has proved particularly pertinent to substitute the real experiential body to the allegorical or fetishized female body. Through her performances, Helena Walsh incites the viewers to respond to the effect of ideology on the physical body. Embodiment, impersonation and incorporation make the body explicit and reopen historical wounds.

The suffragette movement in H.G. Wells's "Ann Veronica" and May Sinclair's "The Tree of Heaven"

2016

In H.G. Wells’s Ann Yeronica (1909), the eponymous heroine embraces new womanhood and a rangę of feminisms in her search for life. Ann Veronica attends suffrage and other radical meetings in London once she has left her father and home in order to “live”. She is arrested during a raid on the House of Commons, while trying to defend an elderly suffragette. However, the harshness of prison life forces Ann Veronica to see the error of her ways and to seek a reconciliation with her father upon her release. Here, militant suffragism is portrayed as a turning point. It is a reaction that brings down all the powers of patriarchy upon her and causes her to accept “life” as it is rather than seek to…

Due democratiche cristiane alla Consulta nazionale: Laura Bianchini e Angela Maria Guidi Cingolani

2022

Questo articolo appartiene a uno studio più ampio che mira a ricostruire una tradizione politica femminile per comprendere alcune delle ragioni persistenti dietro il divario di genere tra accesso formale e sostanziale alle decisioni. L’obiettivo finale è quello di evidenziare il ruolo e il contributo delle donne, soprattutto di quelle che sono finite nell’oblio, nella costituzione di un’Italia democratica e repubblicana fin dalle loro prime partecipazioni all’Assemblea Nazionale Consultiva. L’Archivio della Camera dei Deputati, l’Archivio dell’Istituto Sturzo e gli articoli delle riviste dell’epoca sono state le fonti primarie della ricerca.Il 25 settembre 1945 si inaugura la Consulta che r…

At the Interface of National and Transnational: The Development of Finnish Policies against Domestic Violence in Terms of Gender Equality

2017

Although gender inequalities are the main social mechanisms behind the (re)production of domestic violence, policy responses to domestic violence as a gender-related problem vary at both the national and transnational levels. This article examines the interaction between national and transnational policies against domestic violence, focusing on how domestic violence is constructed as a gender-related problem in Finland, a Nordic welfare state that is often cited as a role model in gender equality. Using the conception of policies as historically changing and culturally specific discourses, this article offers an overview of the ways in which the perspective on domestic violence of the trans…
