Advice, information and safety by means of language: internationally recruited nurses demonstrating their professional Finnish language skills  he focus of this paper is on the professional language used by four internationally educated nurses working in Finnish in Finland. The data comes from a tailor-made professional language test module including integrated material-based tasks. The module was designed by the project Health care Finnish: developing and assessing Finnish proficiency among health care professionals (2014−2015) to complement the skill profiles based on the test results of the National Certifi- cates of Language Proficiency (NCLP) intermediate level test. None of the partic…

Defending either a personal or an assigned standpoint

2018

Abstract This study clarifies whether a specific type of role play supports upper secondary school students’ collaborative argumentation. Data consist of 12 dyadic face-to-face and 12 chat debates. Data analysis focused on the quality of students’ argumentation. Comparisons were made between students who defended standpoints at variance with their personal opinions on the topics, between the two study modes and topics, and by gender. When the students defended a standpoint differing from their personal opinion, the male students engaged in counterargumentation more often than the female students. When, in turn, the students defended their personal standpoint, they produced both counterargum…

Tuen muodot ja oppimisen mahdollisuudet suomen kielen verkkokurssilla

2013

Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan ulkomailla suomea opiskeleville suunniteltua A2–B1-tasoista verkkokurssia. Aineistona ovat kurssin osallistujien paivakirjamerkinnat, palautelomakkeet, viestit seka itse kurssi materiaaleineen. Verkkokurssia analysoidaan ekologisessa viitekehyksessa opiskelijoiden kokeman tuen seka affordanssin kasitteiden kautta. Tuloksista kay ilmi, etta kurssilla on runsaasti mahdollisuuksia vastavuoroiseen vertaistukeen. Ohjaajan antamaksi tueksi oppijat mieltavat erityisesti kurssin alussa kielen rakennetta ja sanastoa koskevan palautteen ja niihin liittyvat tehtavat. Affordanssiksi oppijoiden nakokulmasta nousevat sanasto, kielen rakenteeseen liittyvat ilmiot seka kulttuuri…

Minä sairaanhoitajana: tulevaisuuden minuudet motivaatiota muokkaamassa

2013

Ulkomaalaisen terveydenhoitoalan henkiloston ammatillinen kielitaito on herattanyt julkista keskustelua Suomessa, mutta alalle kouluttautuvat maahanmuuttajataustaiset opiskelijat kielitaitoineen ovat olleet vasta vain tieteellisen keskustelun kohteena. Tassa artikkelissa tarkastelen, mita odotuksia Suomessa englanninkielisessa koulutusohjelmassa sairaanhoitajiksi opiskelevilla maahanmuuttajilla on kielitaidostaan ja tulevaisuudestaan ja kuinka odotukset nakyvat motivoituneisuutena tyoharjoitteluissa. Motivaatiota lahestytaan kompleksisena, identiteettiin nivoutuvana ilmiona, jonka ytimessa on toimijuus. Tutkimus sijoittuu sosiokognitiiviseen viitekehykseen, jossa kieli ja motivaatio nahdaan…

Lossless and near-lossless image compression based on multiresolution analysis

2013

There are applications in data compression, where quality control is of utmost importance. Certain features in the decoded signal must be exactly, or very accurately recovered, yet one would like to be as economical as possible with respect to storage and speed of computation. In this paper, we present a multi-scale data-compression algorithm within Harten's interpolatory framework for multiresolution that gives a specific estimate of the precise error between the original and the decoded signal, when measured in the L"~ and in the L"p (p=1,2) discrete norms. The proposed algorithm does not rely on a tensor-product strategy to compress two-dimensional signals, and it provides a priori bound…

Banks’ unfairness and the vulnerability of low-income unbanked consumers

2018

This paper’s objective was to explore low-income unbanked consumers’ perceptions of bank fairness and the way these perceptions were linked to consumer experiences of vulnerability. Qualitative data were used to analyse low-income consumers’ perceptions about banks’ services and communications. The study finds that although consumers’ financial inclusion is partially hindered by their personal circumstances, the perceived unfair treatment by banks has an even more negative impact on their financial inclusion. Low-income unbanked individuals report banks avoiding them, discriminating against them and impeding their financial inclusion. Banks’ perceived unfairness towards low-income consumers…

Modeling of low-noise microwave HEMTs for CAD-oriented applications

1993

The simultaneous determination of noise, gain and scattering parameters through a computer-driven noise figure measuring system allowed the rapid and accurate characterization of several samples of low noise HEMTs of the same family. From the measured parameters an equivalent circuit model representing the behavior of the typical device is extracted by means of a decomposition approach. Comparison between the model performance and the set of measured parameters of all devices are reported for the FHR 02FH (by Fujitsu). The modeling procedure is mainly oriented to the CAD of (M)MIC low noise wideband amplifiers. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
