"We will hunt Merkel": Representations of the German elections 2017 in British and American newspapers
2018
Uutisvälineiden tehtävä on tiedottaa maailman tapahtumista objektiivisesti suurelle yleisölle, mutta usein mediainstituutioiden tavoitteet määrittävät uutisraportoinnin näkökulman. Kielen käytöllä on tärkeä rooli mediadiskursseissa, ja erityisesti representaatioiden luomisessa. Median kuvaukset voivat vaikuttaa yleisön mielipiteeseen aiheista, joihin ihmisillä ei ole kosketusta jokapäiväisessä elämässä. Maan ulkopolitiikka ja väestön mielipide muista maista kuten esimerkiksi Saksasta, joka on johtavassa asemassa Euroopassa, on tärkeä globalisoituneessa maailmassamme. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on tarkastella miten Saksan parlamenttivaaleja 2017 representoidaan brittiläisessä ja amerikka…

Les inhibiteurs de l’ALS en échec face à l’ambroisie à feuilles d’armoiseEn France, la résistance aux herbicides inhibiteurs de l’acétolactate-synthase (ALS) émerge chez l’ambroisie. Très utilisés car applicables sur la majorité des grandes cultures, ces produits phytosanitaires généralistes inhibent l’ALS, une enzyme clé des végétaux dans la synthèse d’acides aminés essentiels. Ils constituent la deuxième famille de désherbants la plus employée, et en paient le tribut : la résistance à cette classe d’herbicides a été identifiée dans plus de 160 espèces d’adventices, ou « mauvaises herbes ». Récemment rajoutée à cette liste, l’ambroisie à feuilles d’armoise (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) est une…
Casual, Colloquial, Commonsensical: A News Values Stylistic Analysis of a Populist Newsfeed
2021
This study explores a mediated variety of right-wing populist discourse in the digital context, given the populists’ inclination to bypass legacy media to connect directly to the citizens to garner political support. It analyzes a sample of the Tea Party’s newsfeed headlines posted in the spring of 2019. A corpus of 308 headlines collected according to a “constructed week” formula has been coded first according to selected news values parameters (Bednarek and Caple 2017), and then with respect to stylistic devices operationalized in terms of “casual,” “colloquial” and “commonsensical” expressions. Methodologically, the study aims to combine the perspectives of newsworthiness and stylistics …
From Scarcity to Abundance : Food Waste Themes and Virtues in Agrarian and Mature Consumer Society
2019
Uusitalo and Takala address the food waste problem as a societal phenomenon and examine ethical virtues, values linked to them and food practices in two different time periods: agrarian society (1885–1917) and mature consumer society (2008–2017), in Finland. They use data from newspapers to uncover how ethical principles can underpin understanding of the food waste phenomenon. The study shows how the virtues adopted by food chain actors guide their practices towards sustainable ways of handling excess food. While societal themes of food waste are changing, virtues and food practices are changing as well, but some deep-rooted societal virtues and values persist. The chapter concludes with re…
Constructing a “breakthrough”: News values in Science Magazine's 2017 ranking of most important discoveries
2018
The objective of this study is to conduct a stylistic analysis of the synopses publicized in the end-of-the-year ranking list of 2017 scientific “breakthroughs” from Science Magazine. The article provides a review of literature on science popularization (also known as science accommodation) and presents the typology of news values and rationalization cues that are used by editors to make science-related coverage both newsworthy and credible at the same time. The article lists the possible ways in which scientific findings can be stylistically constructed as “breakthroughs”. The analysis consists in quantifying and illustrating the typical stylistic maneuvers for framing selected science-rel…
Media councils and self-regulation in the emerging era of news automation
2020
This report introduces the present state of affairs in news automation and discusses what ethical considerations it raises in the work of media councils. Based on a European-wide research project, the three key takeaways are as follows:1) Large media players use automatically updated counters and infographics, but the automated gener-ation of news text is still mainly experimental in nature. We need to keep our eyes open to the possible need for self-regulatory guidance on news automation, though there are as yet no urgent issues. 2) We must not underestimate the technical progress already made in the field. Issues regarding data, agency and transparency should not be overlooked when discus…
Monitorización del Manejo de Sepsis para la identificación de Flujos Asistenciales y su impacto en la evolución de los pacientes. El diagnóstico prec…
2021
La sepsis se define como un trastorno producido por una respuesta desregulada del huésped a una infección y puede mortal. La sepsis y el shock séptico constituyen problemas médicos muy frecuentes que cada año afectan a millones de personas en todo el mundo. Su identificación precoz y su tratamiento adecuado en las primeras horas después de que aparezca, mejoran los resultados. Es una patología tiempo-dependiente. Concretamente, se aconseja la realización de una serie de medidas diagnosticoterapéuticas durante la primera hora desde la llegada del paciente al servicio de Urgencias, como la administración de antibioterapia o fluidoterapia. Aunque el diagnostico precoz de dicha patología es com…
Looking ahead in games research
2021
This thematic issue presents a number of emerging scholarships into the study of digital gaming. The articles are based on a 2019 symposium on game studies hosted by the Digital Games Research section of ECREA. As the phenomena related to digital gaming keep on evolving and emerging, so must research keep up with the times and constantly challenge itself. Whether speaking about validating previously developed research methods, imagining totally new ones, or even challenging the whole philosophy of science on which research is being done, there is a constant need for reappraisal and introspection within games research. As a cultural medium that has become deeply embedded into the social fabr…
Newspapers and Cross-Level Communications on Social Media : A comparative study of Japan, Korea, and Finland
2017
In order to examine how the same types of social media are perceived and utilized in different national contexts for journalism and news media, we studied mainstream newspapers in three countries where both newspapers and social media are viable: Japan, Korea, and Finland. Our in-depth interviews with journalists indicate both similarities and differences in the three countries. The most outstanding similarity is that newspapers have not fully incorporated cross-level communications available on social media platforms. Factors related to organizational structures, goals, policies, and procedures served as filters for the incorporation of social media into the news production and distributio…
Social network site communities as agents and spaces of pursuing influence in society : forms, stages and attributes of building communicative power
2018
Before the emergence and high popularity of social media, individuals or even collectives of individual citizens rarely had strong voice in public discourse. Social media, and its social network sites (SNS), have allowed individual people to form communities to create discourse around issues they find meaningful, and even unite their power to fight for a common cause and potentially influence changes in society. The objectives of the thesis were to investigate what types of ‘societal influence (SI) oriented SNS communities’ the Internet and social media arena consists of and how their potential communicative power is formed, even to the extent that they can challenge news media and business…
