Modelling Quoting in Newswriting : A Framework for Studies on the Production of News
2019
The Mediated Social Communication (MSC) approach considers mass media a venue for opposing and complementary societal groups to publicly negotiate socially relevant topics. This negotiation is conducted through representatives of these groups and mediated by journalists. Inspired by the MSC approach, this paper presents an empirically grounded model that structures the mediating process through the process of quoting. By identifying the key phases of newswriting as sub-processes of quoting, the paper argues that journalists (1) decide on a topical issue to be addressed (topicalisation), (2) identify groups of people who are linked to this issue (societal localisation), (3) pick some people …
The European Union as a laboratory of paradiplomacy in the context of international and domestic determinants of regions' foreign activities
2019
Celem artykułu jest zaproponowanie podejścia postrzegającego UE jako laboratorium paradyplomacji w kontekście międzynarodowych i wewnętrznych uwarunkowań aktywności zagranicznej regionów. Artykuł otwierają rozważania definicyjne, które pozwalają zrozumieć niejednoznaczność statusu regionów w stosunkach międzynarodowych. Następnie przywołane zostały wymiary i typy paradyplomacji. W dalszej kolejności, identyfikowane są międzynarodowe i wewnętrzne uwarunkowania międzynarodowego zaangażowania regionów. Podejście postrzegające UE jako laboratorium paradyplomacji wyjaśniono w trzech kolejnych częściach. W pierwszej, integracja europejska jest traktowana jako międzynarodowo-narodowa (intermestic)…

21. gadsimta prasmju atspoguļojums mācību grāmatās angļu valodā 11. klasē
2019
Šis pētījums skar 21.gadsimta prasmju atspoguļojumu mācību grāmatās angļu valodā 11.klasē. Mācību process skolās ir organizēts saskaņā ar mācību priekšmetu standartu. Mācību grāmatas ir atslēgkomponents lielākā daļā valodas programmu. Mācību grāmatas nodrošina noderīgu resursu gan skolēniem, gan skolotājām, kā arī tās var lietot ne tikai valodu apguves procesā. Šī diplomdarba mērķis ir novērtēt divas mācību grāmatas angļu valodā: Insight Upper-Intermediate, publicēta Oxford University Press, un Wider World 4, izdota Pearson Education Limited izdevniecībās, no 21.gadsimta prasmju viedokļa ar mērķi noskaidrot, cik lielā mērā dotās mācību grāmatas atspoguļo šīs prasmes. Šī pētījuma aktualitāti…
Female reproductive factors are associated with objectively measured physical activity in middle-aged women
2017
Physical activity improves health and may delay the onset of several chronic diseases. For women in particular, the rate of these diseases accelerates at middle age; therefore it is important to identify the determinants of health-enhancing physical activity during midlife in this population. In this study, we focused on determinants that are unique to the female sex, such as childbearing and menopause. The main objective was to characterize the level of physical activity and differences between active and inactive middle-aged Finnish women. In addition, we examined the association of physical activity with female reproductive factors at midlife. The study population consisted of 647 women …
Frequency and Density-Dependent Selection on Life-History Strategies - A Field Experiment
2008
Negative frequency-dependence, which favors rare genotypes, promotes the maintenance of genetic variability and is of interest as a potential explanation for genetic differentiation. Density-dependent selection may also promote cyclic changes in frequencies of genotypes. Here we show evidence for both density-dependent and negative frequency-dependent selection on opposite life-history tactics (low or high reproductive effort, RE) in the bank vole (Myodes glareolus). Densitydependent selection was evident among the females with low RE, which were especially favored in low densities. Instead, both negative frequency-dependent and density-dependent selection were shown in females with high RE…

A New Academic Quality at Work Tool (AQ@workT) to Assess the Quality of Life at Work in the Italian Academic Context
2022
Refereed/Peer-reviewed The present study provides evidence for a valid and reliable tool, the Academic Quality at Work Tool (AQ@workT), to investigate the quality of life at work in academics within the Italian university sector. The AQ@workT was developed by the QoL@Work research team, namely a group of expert academics in the field of work and organizational psychology affiliated with the Italian Association of Psychologists. The tool is grounded in the job demands-resources model and its psychometric properties were assessed in three studies comprising a wide sample of lecturers, researchers, and professors: a pilot study (N = 120), a calibration study (N = 1084), and a validation study …
Caracterización espacial de parámetros biofísicos de la cubierta vegetal para la validación de productos derivados mediante teledetección : aplicació…
2006
El objetivo principal de esta tesis doctoral ha sido el desarrollar una metodología que permita la caracterización espacial a alta resolución de los parámetros biofísicos, LAI, FVC y FAPAR a partir de medidas in-situ, para su uso como verdad-terreno en la validación directa de productos biofísicos. Por otra parte, se ha llevado a cabo la validación indirecta de los productos de baja resolución para toda la Península Ibérica. The main objective of this thesis is to develop a methodology for the validation of coarse resolution satellite products, mainly focused on vegetation products derived using the SEVIRI instrument in the context of the LSA SAF projects.the methodology is based on the cha…
On Line Validation Exercise (OLIVE): A Web Based Service for the Validation of Medium Resolution Land Products. Application to FAPAR Products
2014
International audience; The OLIVE (On Line Interactive Validation Exercise) platform is dedicated to the validation of global biophysical products such as LAI (Leaf Area Index) and FAPAR (Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation). It was developed under the framework of the CEOS (Committee on Earth Observation Satellites) Land Product Validation (LPV) sub-group. OLIVE has three main objectives: (i) to provide a consistent and centralized information on the definition of the biophysical variables, as well as a description of the main available products and their performances (ii) to provide transparency and traceability by an online validation procedure compliant with the CEO…
