Persuasion in journalistic sub-genres of opinion : interpersonal metadiscusive uses in English and Spanish

2011

Análisis metadiscursivo interpersonal en sub-géneros de opinión en inglés y español en artículos de economía. Journalistic genres share a common communicative objective: to inform and entertain readers through persuasion, this being a major function that pervades most journalistic texts. Therefore, their interpersonal metadiscourse should, forecastedly, contain a number of linguistic devices that comply this function, although sub-genres of opinion in English and Spanish may presumably present quantitative and qualitative differences, since metadiscourse is usually not only constrained by generic features but also by sociolinguistic habits changing from one language to another (Suau-Jiménez…

Can noncomplementarity of agency lead to successful problem solving? A case study on students’ interpersonal behaviors in mathematical problem-solvin…

2022

In student collaboration, purposeful peer interaction crucial for success on the task. Such collaboration requires adequate and purposeful student agency. Theoretically, the between-individual complementarity of agency be-haviors enhances purposeful interaction. However, the level of agency of group members can disrupt the collaborative interactions. We conducted a case study of collaborative mathematical problem solving, where one student's behaviors of noncomplementary agency characterized the group interaction. We examined the video recording of the group by continuous quantitative coding of students' agency behaviors and segmented the interaction process into four phases. We analyzed qu…

The Development of Intercultural Relationships at Work: Polish Migrant Workers in Finland

2013

This article offers an interpersonal communication perspective on relational processes in a workplace affected by the international flow of labor migration. We investigate how temporary migrant workers and their foreign colleagues perceive developing interpersonal relationships with each other through an analysis of in-depth interviews with employees of a Finnish recruitment agency and Polish metal workers it has recruited. The recruitment agents talk about their relationships with the recruited Polish workers; the Polish workers also describe their relationships with their Finnish colleagues at the customer company. The context under investigation emerges as rich in relational processes. T…

Sesquiterpene compounds from Inula Viscosa

2007

Two new compounds, 2,5-dihydroxyisocostic acid and 2,3-dihydroxycostic acid together with three known sesquiterpene compounds, Isocostic acid, Carabrone and Tomentosin, have been isolated from the acetone extract of Inula viscosa (L.) Aiton. The structures of all new compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods, in particular 1D and 2D (1)H- and (13)C-NMR. The (13)C-NMR spectra of Isocostic acid and of Tomentosin are reported here for the first time.

Nuevos materiales moleculares de hierro(II) multipropiedad basados en el fenómeno de transición de espín

2017

En esta Tesis Doctoral se presenta la síntesis y caracterización de una serie de materiales multifuncionales de FeII que tienen como denominador común el fenómeno de transición de espín (TS). El objetivo general es investigar sinergias entre la TS y otra propiedad fisicoquímica mediante el estudio de su estructura molecular y sus propiedades magnéticas y calorimétricas, entre otras. En el Capítulo Uno se exponen los conceptos más relevantes del fenómeno TS en el cual los centros TS experimentan una conversión de espín HS↔LS (HS: estado de espín alto, LS: estado de espín bajo) en respuesta a un estímulo externo tal como temperatura, presión, luz o la presencia de analitos. En particular, una…

Teenage Time Use and Educational Attainment in Adulthood in Finland

2021

We investigated the role of teenage everyday social ties in educational outcomes by examining the association between teenage time use and educational attainment in adulthood. The sample consisted of young people aged 10–18 from the 1979 Finnish Time Use Survey, and the same respondents’ educational attainment later in life recorded from population register data at the year of 40th birthday (n = 366 men and 393 women). We assessed the associations of time spent with the parents, on studying, leisure activities, as well as social connectedness with friends and participation in extracurricular activities, with educational outcomes. Our findings indicated that time spent with the father is pos…
