Sir Thomas More's Utopia : An overlooked economic classic
2019
Sir Thomas More's Utopia, published in 1516, is a classic work of how to organise a society based on common property. With a unique mix of common property, institutions and sound economic insights, we argue that More built a framework for a society that could be viable in the long run. While the conditions that make Utopia work are quite restrictive, it does provide a sketch of a society where common property may not stifle long‐term development, but is associated with productive workers and people content with their lives.
Exercising exclusions: Space, visibility, and monitoring of the exercising fat female body
2019
The author’s aim is to inspect the position of the fat (female) body in the field of exercise. Specifically, the author is interested in fat women’s experiences of their treatment while exercising in public, and argues that, in particular, public spaces for exercise, such as gyms and swimming pools, are currently discursively and concretely constructed as “exclusive” spaces for the normative bodied. Bodies that are deemed non-normative, such as fat bodies, are often made either invisible or intolerable in the discourse of physical activity and exercise. Consequently, public spaces for exercise such as gyms or swimming pools are seen as out of bounds for non-normative bodies and this is refl…
Innovators and innovated: Newspapers and the postdigital future beyond the “death of print”
2017
Along with other cultural organizations, newspapers, through waves of digital disruption, have become subject to a dominant narrative of crisis. But newspapers have long participated in change. A constructivist approach, qualified by consideration of media materiality, draws attention to diverse but essential processes of innovation around them. We see a contraflow of migration from digital to print, opening up a shared media space; bonding strategies are bringing multimedia to ink on paper, while bridging via boundary objects such as QR (Quick Response) codes are connecting the two. Among other initiatives, development of automation of news production and experiments with transparency are …
Homing blogs as ambivalent spaces for feminine agency
2017
This article discusses a form of lifestyle blogging where women blog about their homes and everyday lives. In these homing blogs, selfrepresentations are characteristically spatially demarcated within the private sphere of the home. As these repeated representations of women in their homes take place in the public space of the internet, homing blogs work towards naturalizing the home as a women’s sphere. Written and commented on mostly by other women, homing blogs represent a feminine form of self-expression and communication that functions as a discursive expression of ongoing social, economic, and cultural changes in affluent Western societies. In this article, Finnish versions of these h…

Alumnos con NNEE : la alta capacidad intelectual
2013
El siguiente trabajo de investigación, es una propuesta realizada por un alumno de 4º año de Magisterio de la Universidad de Valencia. La propuesta forma parte del TFG (Trabajo de Fin de Grado) del Grado de Maestro en Educación Primaria.

En este caso en particular, se analizará si los alumnos con un diagnóstico en A.C. (Altas Capacidades) se ven beneficiados tanto a nivel emocional como académico, cuando se pone en práctica una buena medida escolar. The following research wo…
Let's talk business! : a task-based material package of public speaking and small talk in the BELF context
2012
Arvioiden mukaan lähivuosina yli kolmannes maailman ihmisistä käyttää englannin kieltä. Tämä on jo vuosia näkynyt ja tulee myös tulevaisuudessa yhä enemmän näkymään kansainvälisessä liike-elämässä, jossa englantia käytetään lingua francana. Eritoten englannin suullinen taito, kuten julkinen puhuminen ja small talk, näyttelevät suurta roolia tässä kontekstissa. Huomionarvoista on kuitenkin se, että hyvin usein liike-elämän kieli- ja viestintäkoulutuksen opetusmateriaalit epäonnistuvat valmistamaan kansainvälisen liike-elämän toimijoita tosielämän tilanteisiin. Tästä johtuen olen maisterintutkielmassani koonnut opetusmateriaalipaketin, jonka keskiössä on ensinnäkin tulevien liike-elämän toimi…
Estudio farmacogenético del tratamiento del cáncer de mama basado en antraciclinas y taxanos
2016
Existe una importante variabilidad interindividual en la respuesta a los medicamentos que condiciona que no sea fácil predecir la efectividad o seguridad de un fármaco en un paciente concreto. La Farmacogenética (PGt) estudia el vínculo entre las variaciones en la secuencia de ADN de un paciente y su respuesta al tratamiento farmacológico. La variación de un único nucleótido puede tener consecuencias dramáticas, de modo que la identificación de variantes que alteren la función o expresión de las proteínas implicadas en la farmacocinética o farmacodinamia y su efecto final sobre la respuesta es el objetivo de la PGt. El Cáncer de Mama (CM) es el tipo de cáncer más frecuente en mujeres. A pes…

Preservice teachers’ training through microteaching experience
2020
The efficient teaching and the reflexive one were long recognized as desirable purposes of teachers’ training programs. Several studies demonstrated that simulated experiences inside university paths are suitable means to achieve that aim to have prepared teachers to become efficient and reflexive teachers. One of the methods more common to provide experience for teachers in training is microteaching. The video-registration and the methodologies that use of it are increasingly used in the professional training of future teachers. The teacher's professionalism requests, in addition to theoretical or disciplinary knowledge, the ability to mobilize knowledge to organize effective responses to …
