Tiešsaistes spēles (ne)produktivitāte: gadījuma pētījums par radošumu
2022
Bakalaura pētījums “Tiešsaistes spēles (ne)produktivitāte: gadījuma pētījums par radošumu” fokusējās uz radošajiem procesiem, ko piedzīvo galda spēles Dungeons and Dragons spēlētāji veidojot virtuālās pasaules un veidiem kā radošums izpaužas, kad spēle ir situēta tiešsaistes vidē. Iesaistoties Dungeons and Dragons kopienā, izmantojot līdzdalīgu novērojumu, neformālas diskusijas un daļēji strukturētas intervijas, es pētu dažādus artefaktu veidošanās procesus un digitālo tehnoloģiju ietekmi uz mūsu socializāciju tiešsaistē. Radošums ir improvizēts un ir mūsu sociālās un kultūras dzīves neatņemama sastāvdaļa, kas veido gan mūs pašus, gan esošās struktūras.
Participation of the young ones in virtual worlds : A look at experiences and motivations
2011
Virtual worlds have become very popular and there have been some attempts to find the motivations and experiences of using them. The aim of this paper is to analyze the motivations and experiences of young ones to utilize virtual worlds. The paper identifies the activities that children perform in virtual worlds, features they use as well as the reasons for abandoning these virtual worlds. The paper presents results of a qualitative field study. The results indicate that features that are liked in the virtual worlds are similar to games. The most liked features for virtual worlds were developing characters and doing things in groups. The activities that were liked the most in virtual worlds…
Characteristics of being hospitalized as a child with a new diagnosis of type 1 diabetes: a phenomenological study of children’s past and present exp…
2015
Background: Our understanding of children and childhood has changed over the last few decades, which may have an impact on children’s conditions in hospitals. Children’s rights have been strengthened by the “Convention on the Rights of the Child” and ward regulations. The aim of this Norwegian study was to identify potential characteristics of children's lived experience of being hospitalized diagnosed with type 1 diabetes today and from a retrospective view in the period 1950–1980, despite the many obvious external changes. Methods: This study presents a further analysis of data from two previous phenomenological studies. The first had a retrospective perspective, and the second assumed a …
Working the fields of big data : Using big-data-augmented online ethnography to study candidate–candidate interaction at election time
2017
The paper proposes big-data-augmented ethnography as a novel mixed-methods approach to studying political discussions in a hybrid media system. Using such empirical setup, the authors examined candidate–candidate online interaction during election campaigning. Candidate–candidate interaction crossing party boundaries is scarce and occurs in the form of negative campaigning via social media, with the shaming of rival candidates and engaging in battles with them. The authors posit that ethnographic observations can be used to contextualize the computational analysis of large data sets, while computational analysis can be applied to validate and generalize the findings made through ethnography…
Traces of the past: an interview study with Finnish war children who did not return to Finland after the Second World War
2017
ABSTRACTThis paper is an in-depth qualitative study based on interviews with 10 Finnish children who were evacuated to Sweden during Second World War and who did not return to Finland after the war. The interviewees were asked to tell about their lives. Nine of them were between 2 and 5 years and one was 7 years old at the time of evacuation. The aim was to study how their childhood experiences were reflected in adult memories, how they remembered or did not remember. This paper focuses on the consequences of not knowing about one’s early life and also on whether it is possible to observe signs of the Finnish mother. She did not appear explicitly but could be sensed in the tendency of the i…
MR2541232 (2010j:60101) Yong, Jiao; Lihua, Peng; Peide, Liu Atomic decompositions of Lorentz martingale spaces and applications. J. Funct. Spaces App…
2010
In this paper atomic decomposition theorems of martingales are considered. In particular, three atomic decomposition theorems for Lorentz martingale spacesHs p,q, Qp,q andDp,q, where 0 < p < 1, and 0 < q 1, are proved. As a consequence of these decompositions, the authors obtain a sufficient condition for a sublinear operator T, defined on the previous Lorentz martingale spaces Hs p,q, Qp,q and Dp,q and taking values in Lorentz spaces Lr, to be bounded. Also, a restricted weak-type interpolation theorem is established.
Understanding small sports under globalization : a study on women’s American football: the global dynamics of women’s American football involving Fin…
2023
With more attention given to women’s sports, this study focuses on the research gap in women's American football as a heavily under-researched field. The paper aims to examine the global dynamics of women's American football by highlighting the position of the sport in opportunities, challenges, and development process. The study investigates the environment of women's American football by asking the following questions: How is women's American football functioning in the USA and in Finland? What is the nature of international competition in the IFAF Women's World Championship? And what are the challenges and opportunities presented in women's football globally, in Finland, and in the USA? …
Los paisajes de la globalización, la elección de la ciudad-expo 2008. ¿Qué pasa con la gobernanza urbana frente a las estrategias económicas y espaci…
2005
Am 16. Dezember 2004 wählte das Bureau international des expositions (B.I.E.) Spanien und seine Kandidatenstadt, die Metropole Saragossa, als Organisationsland für die nächste internationale Ausstellung „International Exhibition of Zaragoza Spain 2008: Water and Sustainable Development“. Wir analysieren zunächst die Entwicklung "der Wege" der Kandidaturen zur Wahl der Gastgeberstadt der Internationalen Ausstellung 2008, dann greifen wir in einem zweiten Mal den gesamten Vorgang der Ausarbeitung, Begründung und Durchführung der Internationalen Ausstellung 2008 in Saragossa auf im Kontext der Globalisierung neue städtische Formen und Formen des Regierens hervorbringen, indem alle finanziellen…
Human Rights and International Trade: Mapping Workers’ Rights under World Trade Organization Rules
2021
A medida que el mundo primitivo se fue conectando -globalizando- a través de los contactos con otras civilizaciones, comenzó a producirse un intercambio de bienes y tecnologías con diferentes civilizaciones, ya sea a través de la conquista o del comercio. En el siglo XXI el mundo está más conectado que nunca. Los bienes y las tecnologías se intercambian a través de un sistema de comercio mundial bien organizado y regulado entre los Estados nacionales. La Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) es una institución sobrenatural que regula el comercio entre sus 164 miembros. Un logro monumental de esta larga marcha de la historia es la aparición de los derechos humanos. Los derechos humanos son…
