Embodiment of Love in Handel's Opera Giulio Cesare
2013
By studying metaphors of love in Handel´s opera Giulio Cesare in Egitto, I will introduce how it is depicted by the protagonists´ arias; via Cleopatra´s and Caesar´s musical relations, as a prevailing message. The atmospheric tone paintings set to the musical highlights of the protagonist arias answer the questions: how is love defined in Giulio Cesare? What kind of musical signs of love are there to be found and what will they tell us? Love is an essential theme in the work because the arias` foci are interlocked by the affectual tensions. These have encouraged various performance views of the work, for instance: ENO´s “epoch” depiction in 1984; Sellar´s “satirical” version in 1990; and Gl…
Phylogenetic diversity and affiliation of tropical African ectomycorrhizal fungi
2022
Ectomycorrhizal fungi form a mutualistic symbiosis with plant roots, and are key for nutrient cycling in many ecosystems. Here we study the ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in the Oueme Superieur reserve forest in Benin (West Africa). We use phylogenetic methods to test if the species from the study site are closer to other tropical African species than to species from other regions. The Oueme Superieur community was represented by nine Operational Taxonomic Units in Amanitaceae, one in Boletaceae, one in Cantharellaceae, one in Cortinariaceae, two in Inocybaceae, fourteen in Russulaceae and three in Sclerodermataceae. Of these thirty-one Operational Taxonomic Units, twenty had no record …
Rompiendo el puzle de Aronson. Propuesta en el contexto de las materias de métodos y técnicas de investigación social
2021
El trabajo cooperativo y específicamente el Puzle a Aronson son herramientas pedagógicas cada vez más comunes en las aulas universitarias. Por otro lado, la enseñanza de los métodos y técnicas de investigación suponen un reto para el profesor en cuanto a lograr una adquisición por parte del alumnado de una serie de conceptos teóricos y, al mismo tiempo, una serie de habilidades prácticas en el manejo de dichas técnicas. El primer gran reto es lograr la capacidad de construir un objeto de estudio dentro de los marcos de pertinencia, alcance y manejabilidad de los datos. Una cuestión a la que no siempre se le dedica, en cuanto a sus elementos prácticos, el tiempo de que se le requiere. La pro…

Gender, identity and representation in video games : an elective discourse-oriented course for Finnish EFL upper secondary school students
2015
Suomen koulujen opetussuunnitelmat pyrkivät toteuttamaan ja edistämään tasa-arvoa, mutta tasa-arvon toteutuminen koulujen arjessa vaatii vielä työtä. Samaan aikaan videopeleistä on tullut suosittu harrastus nuorten ja aikuisten keskuudessa, mutta sekä pelit että peleihin liittyvä keskustelu ovat tasa-arvon suhteen jälkijunassa. Pelaaminen ei ole enää yksinomaan nuorten poikien harrastus. Monet oppijat sukupuoleen katsomatta pelaavat erilaisia pelejä ja osallistuvat pelejä koskevaan keskusteluun. Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tavoitteena on tuottaa lukio-opetukseen tarkoitettu kurssimateriaalipaketti, jonka avulla kuka tahansa opettaja pystyy lähestymään naisten representaatiota videopeleissä …
Review: Electrostatically actuated nanobeam-based nanoelectromechanical switches – materials solutions and operational conditions
2018
This review summarizes relevant research in the field of electrostatically actuated nanobeam-based nanoelectromechanical (NEM) switches. The main switch architectures and structural elements are briefly described and compared. Investigation methods that allow for exploring coupled electromechanical interactions as well as studies of mechanically or electrically induced effects are covered. An examination of the complex nanocontact behaviour during various stages of the switching cycle is provided. The choice of the switching element and the electrode is addressed from the materials perspective, detailing the benefits and drawbacks for each. An overview of experimentally demonstrated NEM swi…
National identity, national music and popular music in the Italian Music Press during the long 19th century
2011
Discusses the notions of national identity, national music and popular music as they emerged in Italian music periodicals during the years 1840–1890, in relation to the process of Italy’s political unification and the dissemination of foreign operas such as French grands opéras in the years 1840–1870 and Wagner’s Musikdramen from 1871 on. Essays and articles by relevant critics and musicians, such as Abramo Basevi and Francesco D’Arcais are discussed. Articles by lesser known journalists such as Pietro Cominazzi and Mattia Cipollone are also taken into account. The use of words like “national” and “popular” is analysed when referring to Italian opera, to its history and to the operas by for…
Food community networks as sustainable self-organized collective action: A case study of a Solidarity Purchasing Group
2014
The spread of Food Community Networks (FCNs) is mainly due to new and confirmed policies for consumption, testing new social paradigms aimed at promoting sustainable development in rural areas through the active reorganization of the agricultural and food industry. As a result, there is a set of rules deriving from complex relational structures competing to define self-organized collective action for sustainability. This paper analyses the structure of relations within FCNs. With this end in view, research on the experience of FCNs has been done, in particular of Solidarity Purchasing Groups (henceforth SPGs) in Sicily (Southern Italy). By applying Social Network Analysis, the article ident…

Mācību materiālu izveide militārās angļu valodas apguvēju mutvārdu saziņas veicināšanai
2019
Speciālo nozaru angļu valoda ir pieprasīta dažādu jomu speciālistu vidū, jo sniedz iespēju apgūt profesionālo angļu valodu. Šī pētījums mērķis bija noteikt militārās angļu valodas apguvēju individuālās valodas vajadzības un izveidot mācību materiālus, kas veicinātu viņu mutvārdu saziņu. Mācību materiāli tika izstrādāti, izmantojot uz uzdevumiem balstītu metodoloģiju, kas nodrošina valodas apguvi, izmantojot jēgpilnus uzdevumus, atbilstošus komunikatīvus vingrinājumus, lai veicināti valodas funkciju apguvi, kas nepieciešamas, lai attīstītu valodu tās lietojumam reālās situācijās. Pētījuma dati tika iegūti, izmantojot anketas, nodarbību novērošanu, un progresa testus, kas tika rūpīgi analizēt…
