Understanding Estonian phraseological units on the basis of Finnish : contributing and misleading factors
2020
Vironkielistä tekstiä lukevien suomalaisten on havaittu hyödyntävän monenlaisia strategioita selvittääkseen sukukielen sanojen merkityksiä. Yksi niistä on pohjustaminen (priming). Kun kyseessä on fraseologinen yksikkö, yksi osa (prime) pohjustaa toisen osan eli kohdesanan (targetin) esiintymistä, mikäli prime on tunnistettavissa äidinkielen perusteella. Tässä artikkelissa kuvaamme muutamia erityistilanteita. Miten pohjustimen ja kohdesanan välinen etäisyys tai teemanvaihdos vaikuttavat ’petollisen ystävän’ ymmärtämiseen? Lisäksi tutkimme sitä, miten ahdasrajainen semanttinen kategoria ohjaa siitä puuttuvan jäsenen merkityksen löytämistä ja millaisia perusteita käännösratkaisuille on löydett…
Helppoa vai vaikeaa arvioida? : Yleisten kielitutkintojen suomen kielen arvioijien käsityksiä vironkielisten arvioinnista

Finnish raters’ beliefs about assessing Estonian speakers in a Finnish language test: easy or difficult? This paper aims to contribute to our understanding on rater beliefs and views and to promote transparency in rater’s work in the form of reflection. The paper focuses on professional Finnish raters’ beliefs and views of assessing L1 Estonian speakers in the criteria-referenced Finnish language test of the National Certifi- cates of Language Proficiency test system. Finnish raters (N = 27) were asked via email to shortly reflect on what they find easy and what difficult in rating Estonian speakers’ writing and speaking skills in the Finnish language test. The raters reflected on many issu…
Applying Axial Symmetries to Historical Silk Fabrics: SILKNOW’s Virtual Loom
2020
Symmetry is part of textile art in patterns and motifs that decorate fabrics, which are made by the interlacement of warp and wefts. Moreover, the 3D representation of fabrics have already been studied by some authors
Are Virtues Shaped by National Cultures or Religions?
2012
The present paper examines the relative influence of religion and nation on conceptions of virtues. In a first study, conducted in the Netherlands, 926 respondents of different profession, age, sex, and religious background rank ordered a list of 15 virtues. A comparison of Dutch Muslims and non-Muslims showed a remarkably high resemblance in their ratings of virtues. Only faith was rated as being much more important by Muslims than by non-Muslims. In the second study, the influence of national cultures was examined. Adults (N = 795) from two culturally relatively similar countries, Germany and the Netherlands, and from Spain rated the same list of virtues. Crossnational differences between…

Tumor targeting of baculovirus displaying a lymphatic homing peptide.
2008
Background Tumor-associated cells and vasculature express attractive molecular markers for site-specific vector targeting. To attain tumor-selective tropism, we recently developed a baculovirus vector displaying the lymphatic homing peptide LyP-1, originally identified by ex vivo/in vivo screening of phage display libraries, on the viral envelope by fusion to the transmembrane anchor of vesicular stomatitis virus G-protein. Methods In the present study, we explored the specificity and kinetics of viral binding and internalization as well as in vivo tumor homing of the LyP-1 displaying virus to elucidate the applicability of baculovirus for targeted therapies. Results We demonstrated that th…
Fractional Hardy inequalities and visibility of the boundary
2013
We prove fractional order Hardy inequalities on open sets under a combined fatness and visibility condition on the boundary. We demonstrate by counterexamples that fatness conditions alone are not sufficient for such Hardy inequalities to hold. In addition, we give a short exposition of various fatness conditions related to our main result, and apply fractional Hardy inequalities in connection to the boundedness of extension operators for fractional Sobolev spaces.
Toimijuus korkeakoulutettujen suomen oppijoiden visuaalisissa narratiiveissa
2018
This socioculturally informed study explores how highly educated Finnish language learners represent their agency in visual narratives. Learners (n=59) were asked to draw two pictures of themselves as Finnish language users and provide verbal interpretations of the drawings. The aim of using visual narratives is to reach aspects such as feelings and beliefs which might be difficult to express verbally. The data were analyzed first by using visual grammar set out by Kress and van Leeuwen (2006) and secondly by content analysis. The findings suggest that learners saw Finnish language as a tool for oral communication. However, difficulties with speaking and listening appeared to restrict learn…
Building a political image on Instagram: A study of the personal profile of Santiago Abascal (Vox) in 2018
2020
Due to Instagram’s growing popularity in Spain, politicians have also begun to turn to this social network increasingly more. Accordingly, this paper analyses the visual and textual discourse of 259 posts published throughout 2018 on the personal Instagram profile of Santiago Abascal, the leader of the party Vox. Insofar as he is the Spanish politician with the highest number of followers on Instagram, the aim here is to analyse how he uses this social network in order to identify possible strategies that justify his growing number of followers. In the analysis, special attention was paid to aspects that might have contributed to the (self)presentation of Abascal and the promotion of his pa…
Performative Archives: The Visual Poetry of bpNichol and Derek Beaulieu
2019
International audience; La performance de l’archive dans la poésie visuelle de bpNichol et Derek Beaulieu”En s’adonnant à la dimension matérielle de l’écriture, la poésie visuelle s’engage dans une voie exploratrice qui pense ensemble matériau, écriture et mémoire. La figure de l’archive se decline au sens métaphorique pour dire cette relation. Elle traverse la tradition poétique en suivant la trace des formes adoptées par les divers supports de l’écrit. Si la poésie visuelle peut se dire archive de l’expérience scripturale, ses inscriptions sont le reflet du flux qui caractérise une esthétique et un environnement conditionnés de maniére croissante par des supports technologiques. Cet artic…
