Uzņēmumam piemītošo cilvēktiesību aizsardzība konkurences tiesību pārkāpumu izmeklēšanas procesā

2021

Konkurences tiesības ir tiesisks instruments, kas nodrošina efektīvu brīvā tirgus darbību un tautsaimniecības attīstību, komplementāri aizsargājot sabiedrības kopējo labklājību. Izrietoši, konkurences tiesību pārkāpumu identificēšana, atklāšana un izmeklēšana ir pašmērķis, kura sasniegšanu ir jāveicina konkurences iestādei. Vienlaikus konkurences tiesību pārkāpumu izmeklēšanas procesam ir jābūt efektīvām un tiesiskam, konkurences iestādei īstenojot izmeklēšanas darbības un piemērojot uzņēmuma cilvēktiesības vismazāk ierobežojošus līdzekļus. Autore darbā analizē šobrīd spēkā esošo Eiropas Savienības konkurences tiesību regulēju…

A Study on the Assessment of Introductory Computational Thinking via Scratch Programming in Primary Schools

2018

Computational thinking (CT), a transversal intellectual foundation integral to computer science, is making its way into compulsory comprehensive education worldwide. Students are expected to attain skills and knowledge in such interdisciplinary CT principles as Algorithmic thinking, Data representation, and Debugging. Problem-solving by designing and manipulating interactive media with Scratch, a graphical programming tool, is popular especially at the primary school level. However, there has been confusion regarding how introductory CT can be operationalized for educational practice. Teachers and students need research-based knowledge for setting appropriate learning goals in addition to i…

Sub specie durationis : muisti ja materia kokemuksen ajallisena järjestelmänä Henri Bergsonin filosofiassa

2016

Henri Bergsonin (1859–1941) muistin ja materian käsitteistä muodostuva, inhimillistä kokemusta jäsentävä järjestelmä on kiehtova esitys sekä mielen että materiaalisen todellisuuden luonteesta. Tämä tutkielma tekee ensisijaisesti systemaattisen esityksen sekä muistin että materian ominaisista luonteista ja näiden yhtymisestä inhimillisessä kokemuksessa. Materia näyttäytyy jatkuvana muutoksena, joka koostuu laadullisista liikkeistä. Muisti on ajallisuuden apriorinen perusta, joka tekee ajasta kestävää: yhtäältä muisti luo ajan liikkeen tullessaan nykyhetkeen, toisaalta se sitoo tämän liikkeen ykseydeksi eli kestoksi, joka on ajallisuuden liikettä. Materian liike näyttää havainnossa pysähtyvän…

Measuring syntactic complexity in learner Finnish

2020

In the study of complexity, accuracy and fluency (CAF), syntactic complexity can be measured by a multitude of measures. Traditionally, the measures are quantitative and they use production units such as words, clauses, T -units, and sentences. Despite the vast number o f measures available, many studies have used only one or two of them, or parallel ones tapping the same component of complexity. The present study explores syntactic complexity using seven frequently used quantitative complexity measures to gauge different facets of complexity in written learner Finnish. The data of the study consist of texts written by adult and adolescent language learners, and they cover proficiency level…

Words, clauses, sentences, and T-units in learner language: Precise and objective units of measure?

2020

In research on learner language complexity, accuracy and fluency (CAF), syntactic complexity is often studied with quantitative measures based on words, clauses, sentences, and T-units. The findings have been mixed, but segmenting learner language into these units of measure has seldom been problematised, even if the need for accurate coding is well known. The present study explores words, clauses, sentences, and T-units as production units in written learner language using a corpus of 352 L2 Finnish texts (28,813 words). The results illustrate how written learner language can be hard to fit into the production unit categories, which are essential for the most frequently used quantitative m…

Mobilizing ‘context’: Vocabulary checks in ESL tutoring sessions

2022

This study investigates the practice of unplanned and emergent vocabulary checks, i.e. turns through which a speaker explicitly checks whether the recipient knows a word, in small-group tutorial instruction. The data are video-recorded English as a second language (ESL) tutoring sessions between a native English speaker tutor and ESL students at an urban community college in the United States. By drawing on conversation analysis, we analyze how vocabulary checks emerge sequentially and with the help of contextual interactional resources. Findings suggest that vocabulary checks constitute a practice for managing both shared understanding and pedagogical concerns. By singling out a vocabulary…

Prosody and fluency of Finland Swedish as a second language: Investigating global parameters for automated speaking assessment

2023

This study investigates prosody and fluency of Finland Swedish as a second language (L2). The main objective is to investigate global measures of prosody and fluency as predictors of overall oral proficiency, fluency, and pronunciation ratings. We analyzed parameters related to temporal fluency, timing (based on syllable durations), and f0 change from spontaneous speech produced by 30 native and 235 non-native speakers of Finland Swedish representing proficiency levels from beginner to intermediate. We used pairwise comparisons to investigate the differences between native speech (L1) and L2 samples from different proficiency levels. To study the predictability of ratings with acoustic para…

New is not always costly: evidence from online processing of topic and contrast in Japanese.

2013

Two visual ERP experiments were conducted to investigate topic and contrast assigned by various cues such as discourse context, sentential position and marker during referential processing in Japanese. Experiment 1 showed that there was no N400-difference for new vs. given noun phrases (NPs) when the new NP was expected (contrastively focused) based on its preceding context and sentential position. Experiment 2 further revealed that the N400 for new NPs can be modulated by the NP’s contrastive meaning (exhausitivity) induced from the marker. Both experiments also showed that new NPs engendered an increased Late Positivity. The reduced N400 for new vs. given supports an expectation-based lin…
