Legitimations of Finnish education export–exploring the plurality of guiding principles
2021
This paper explores the legitimation of Finnish education export (EE) activities linked to higher education institutions. As a small non-English speaking country with only recent involvement in the EE market, Finland provides an underexplored context to consider the legitimation of overseas, fee-based educational services from the perspective of EE providers. In this qualitative case study comprising two Finnish EE endeavours, we draw on convention theory to argue that the legitimation of education export is based on multiple roles of such export, not just on generating revenue for the provider institution. We show that legitimations are linked to multiple guiding principles, illustrated in…
Breaking of discrete symmetries and global lepton number in neutrino physics
2019
En relación con principios de simetría, esta Tesis ha abordado una serie de preguntas abiertas fundamentales en física de neutrinos. Por un lado, la existencia de violación de CP genuina en el sector leptónico, bajo el problema histórico de la falsa violación de CP inducida por la propagación de neutrinos en materia, que también conduce a la discriminación de la jerarquía en el ordenamiento de masas de los neutrinos. Demostramos que, en cualquier transición de sabor, las asimetrías que violan CP, T y CPT en oscilaciones de neutrinos en materia pueden escribirse en términos de una base de tres componentes independientes: (a) la genuina CPT-par, no nula sii hay violación genuina de CP ; (b) l…
Digital game-based training of early reading skills : overview of the GraphoGame method in a highly transparent orthography / Entrenamiento de habili…
2014
Learning to read in a language with a transparent orthography is generally quick and easy. To be able to read any words, learners need to know how to connect the smallest spoken language units, phonemes, into the written counterparts, graphemes. However, even learning the basic alphabetic principle has proven difficult for some learners. Here we focus on children who struggle to learn to read in Finnish that has a highly transparent orthography. In an attempt to provide efficient early preventative support for such learners, a technologyenhanced learning environment, GraphoGame, was developed. The GraphoGame method focuses on the specific problematic areas of each individual learner using a…
The GraphoGame Method: The Theoretical and Methodological Background of the Technology-Enhanced Learning Environment for Learning to Read
2014
This paper provides an overview of the GraphoGame method. Both theoretical and methodological aspects related to the method are presented. The method’s guiding principles are based on the prevailing theories and experimental research findings on learning and teaching basic reading skills in alphabetic languages, especially from the point of view of a struggling reader. Because the nature of the target language and its relation to its writing system play central roles in the GraphoGame method, this approach requires the method to be flexible in order to be valid for learners of different languages and orthographies. Thus, the aim of the developed technology is to provide an appropriate readi…
Local regularity estimates for general discrete dynamic programming equations
2022
We obtain an analytic proof for asymptotic H\"older estimate and Harnack's inequality for solutions to a discrete dynamic programming equation. The results also generalize to functions satisfying Pucci-type inequalities for discrete extremal operators. Thus the results cover a quite general class of equations.
On a Robin (p,q)-equation with a logistic reaction
2019
We consider a nonlinear nonhomogeneous Robin equation driven by the sum of a \(p\)-Laplacian and of a \(q\)-Laplacian (\((p,q)\)-equation) plus an indefinite potential term and a parametric reaction of logistic type (superdiffusive case). We prove a bifurcation-type result describing the changes in the set of positive solutions as the parameter \(\lambda \gt 0\) varies. Also, we show that for every admissible parameter \(\lambda \gt 0\), the problem admits a smallest positive solution.
Indulto y Poder Judicial: ¿Un instrumento para la realización de la Justicia?
2017
El indulto no es un vestigio histórico. su reconocimiento en la totalidad de los textos constitucionales de nuestra historia, advierte la existencia de una necesidad que es satisfecha por el indulto, con independencia del momento en el que se haya aplicado. el indulto ex- presa el desajuste entre la norma penal y la justicia, que solo puede tener su remedio con el otorgamiento de la gracia. Pero la admisibilidad del indulto exige el pleno so- metimiento a la ley y al principio de legalidad, desde un ejercicio restrictivo y excepcional, por tratarse de una potestad extraordinaria, pues determina una alteración de los principios constitucionales. y sólo en la medida que sea el Poder Judicial …
The Images of the Others in Rome (and Geo-Climatic Determinism) (Le Immagini Dell'Altro a Roma (E Il Determinismo Climatico-Ambientale))
2008
In order to explain the anthropic differences of the foreign people, many Roman authors often make use of the well known theory of geo-climatic determinism. Within the frame of this theory Rome becomes the center of the world, i. e., the place of normality, culture, and identity. The Roman identity, however, is not exclusive and is deeply rooted in alterity. In fact, the foundation of Rome, seen as "conluvies convenarum", can always be repeated by means of the conquests of the "Other", who can easily become "identical".
The global flood of COVID-19 contact tracing apps: sailing with human rights and data protection standards against the wind of mass surveillance
2021
Research background: Countries all around the world are rapidly introducing contact tracing apps and other surveillance technologies to tackle the spread of COVID-19 raising serious concerns about human rights and democratic principles. Purpose of the article: The article aims to analyse how human rights and data protection law regulate the COVID-19 contact tracing apps and reveal the biggest challenges that countries face in applying the essential requirements. Methods: The article will analyse the legal framework and compare many guidance documents issued by the international organisations, including the Council of Europe, the OECD and many EU institutions on the data protection requireme…
Gestalt Theory Rearranged: Back to Wertheimer
2017
Wertheimer's seminal paper of 1923 was of gerat influence in psychology and other sciences. Wertheimer also emphasized the weaknesses of the newborn Gestalt theory: too many basic laws, and the ambiguity of definitions. At the same time, the paper contained potential solutions to these problems, in the form of a number of very important ideas, some of which were presented implicitly: perception through imitation, communicative nature of linear drawings and writings, transfer from the visual domain to motor domain, linguistic interpretation of the Gestalt. In this paper it will be shown that based on these ideas the Gestalt theory can be rearranged so that the main notions can be well define…
