Interpreting and managing a monolingual norm in an English-speaking class in Finland: When first and second graders contest the norm
2011
This study explores the stances that multilingual learners adopt in the face of a monolingual, “English-only” norm in a primary English medium class in Finland. I examine classroom interaction focusing on three students and the ways in which they reinterpret, reformulate, and contest this norm. This research is informed by the perspective of language socialization and draws on methods of microethnographic discourse analysis. I find that the three focal students come into opposition when they interpret and manage the institutional monolingual norm differently, indexing issues of mother tongue expertise and group membership. Aleksi employs a variety of discursive practices in resisting the En…
El nou paradigma dels estudis de traducció: (notes arran d'un article de Mona Baker)
2006
This introduction tries to contextualize Mona Baker’s article in this same issue by revising her personal evolution in the field of Translation Studies, as well as by introducing some of the key notions tackled in her paper. The introduction mainly deals with the turn of Translation Studies into a new ideological paradigm which tries to overcome the alleged scientific and aseptic methodology of Descriptive Translation Studies. The concepts of descriptive methodology, ideology, frame and narrative theory are also discussed, with some examples of recent events. Attention is also paid to the Catalan context, where translations and language use also obey to certain ideological and political age…
On several notions of complexity of polynomial progressions
2021
For a polynomial progression $$(x,\; x+P_1(y),\; \ldots,\; x+P_{t}(y)),$$ we define four notions of complexity: Host-Kra complexity, Weyl complexity, true complexity and algebraic complexity. The first two describe the smallest characteristic factor of the progression, the third one refers to the smallest-degree Gowers norm controlling the progression, and the fourth one concerns algebraic relations between terms of the progressions. We conjecture that these four notions are equivalent, which would give a purely algebraic criterion for determining the smallest Host-Kra factor or the smallest Gowers norm controlling a given progression. We prove this conjecture for all progressions whose ter…
Ingroup Identification Increases Differentiation in Response to Egalitarian Ingroup Norm under Distinctiveness Threat
2017
Previous findings suggest that high identifiers show their group loyalty by deviating from group norms that do not allow the group to react in an adaptive manner towards a threatening outgroup (i.e., when the ingroup norm is egalitarian). In this study, using natural groups (French and North Africans), we aimed at extending our understanding of such loyalty conflict by examining the relationship between ingroup identification and intergroup differentiation (stereotyping and prejudice) as a function of distinctiveness threat and ingroup norms. Results showed a positive relationship between identification and prejudice both in the discriminatory norm condition when intergroup similarity was l…
Probleme polnischer Moraltheologen mit dem nachsynodalen apostolischen Schreiben von Papst Franziskus Amoris laetitia
2020
Amoris laetitia, the post-synodal Exhortation of Pope Francis, provoked varied reactions among theologians. Especially controversial is the question of the admission of divorced people living in civil partnership to the sacraments of penance and reconciliation and the Eucharist. The present text presents the main arguments of Polish moral theologians, which came to the fore during the discussion on the practice of sacrament for divorced and remarried people. The Polish theologians’ arguments cited are not limited to simply quoting the teachings of Pope John Paul II, but refer to important arguments from the theology of marriage, theology of sacraments and moral theology. The author indicate…
Biodiverse green roofs in Mediterranean climate. Input and lessons learned from Germany and Switzerland
In the realm of the doctoral program in technologies for sustainability and land restoration, this thesis deepens sustainable and ecological solutions for Mediterranean environment after the German tradition and the Swiss school of green roofs for biodiversity. Specific aims were to: (1) assess the effectiveness of the existing green roofs norms in supporting biodiversity; (2) review methodologies and approaches for the implementation of biodiverse green roofs but also their application for ecological design; (3) identify habitat templates in the Mediterranean ecoregion replicable on green roofs; and (4) investigate the long term vegetation development of unmanaged green roofs in order to g…
Concepto y estructura de las potestades jurídicas
2010
En este artículo se analiza la noción jurídica de potestad con la pretensión de establecer su estructura y de delimitar su significado y extensión. El análisis de las potestades se construye fundamentalmente depurando cualquier elemento deóntico de su estructura y presuponiendo que son sólo normas de competencia las que las constituyen. Potestad es, por tanto, una norma que establece que un acto de un sujeto tiene como resultado un cambio jurídico, sin entrar en consideraciones deónticas referidas a su ejercicio. Para evitar que la noción tenga un alcance desmesurado, en primer lugar, se acota su extensión limitándola estrictamente a cambios de corte jurídico y no a intervenciones físicas o…
Nullité absolue des traités et inapplication de la Convention de Vienne
2019
This contribution investigates the reasons for the inapplication of the rules on the absolute nullity of treaties contained in the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. The argument put forward is that the codification of absolute nullity in treaty law was both a necessary and fanciful choice at the time. Necessary because there was already a jurisprudential practice that had declared some treaties concluded in violation of rules that would later be qualified as "ius cogens" null and void. And also because, after the end of the Second World War, the idea spread that international law should privilege a "strong" legality over the effectiveness of legal situations. It was unrealistic…
The Preservation of Art and Culture in Times of War
2022
Conflict over cultural heritage has increasingly become a standard part of war. Today, systematic exploitation, manipulation, attacks, and destruction of cultural heritage by state and non-state actors form part of most violent conflicts across the world. Such acts are often intentional and based on well-planned strategies for inflicting harm on groups of people and communities. With this increasing awareness of the role cultural heritage plays in war, scholars and practitioners have progressed from seeing conflict-related destruction of cultural heritage as a cultural tragedy to understanding it as a vital national security issue. There is also a shift from the desire to protect cultural p…
Podporządkowanie technologiczne w zatrudnieniu
2022
The employee is not, as yet, separated from the working environment by their 'humanity'. The working environment becomes a kind of network, connected to other employees and the enterprise through invisible threads of dependencies and influences woven from personal data that can be algorithmically arranged and given new meaning and ownership. Authority and subordination are their physical representations. These interdependencies have one thing in common, regardless of the type of organised complexity. Each employee is equally subjected to informational authority, regardless of their profession, tion and industry. Everywhere, they are equally networked, subject to the same pressure and superv…
