Further development of integrated threat theory and intergroup contact: a reply to Aberson (2015)

2016

ABSTRACTThis essay furthers a dialogue about the theoretical and statistical merits of Croucher's [(2013). Integrated threat theory and acceptance of immigrant assimilation: An analysis of Muslim immigration in Western Europe. Communication Monographs, 80, 46–62] study exploring the relationships between threat from an immigrant group, belief that an immigrant wants to assimilate, and intergroup contact. Key points of divergence include assertions that (a) the relationships in the original piece are counter to previous literature/relationships, (b) the correlations presented are implausible, (c) the magnitude of the relationships is too strong, and (d) the manuscript has “odd” multiple regr…

Sampling in Local Tourism Quantification: Critical Issues and Field Experience

2013

The aim of this paper is to detail some issues relating to tourist sampling by means of three case studies. Tourism quantification issues and solutions will be illustrated in three paradgmatic situations: sampling in a self-contained context with multiple access points (an Island in Aeolian archipelago), tourism in a seaside town, and nautical tourism. In these contexts the issue of building a space-time grid to circumscribe the target population is made more complex by the mobile nature of these populations.

Frozen or dynamic? : An atomistic simulation perspective on the timescales of electrochemical reactions

2023

Electrochemical systems span a wide range of timescales, and several recent works have put forth the idea that the reaction environment should remain frozen and out of equilibrium during electrochemical electron or proton transfer reactions. Furthermore, simplified treatments of the electrochemical interface model the solvent and ions as frozen molecules. However, the claims and practices of a frozen environment strongly clash with most theoretical and simulation approaches developed to study electrochemical reaction rates. It has also been suggested that the electrode potential should not be fixed when simulating reaction rates due to conductivity limitations, which indicates constant pote…

Abbreviaciâ kak sposob slovoobrazovaniâ v russkom âzyke : na osnove tekstov SMI

2017

Tutkin pro gradu-tutkielmassani lyhenteiden käyttöä ja muodostumista massamedian teksteissä. Tarkoituksenani on selvittää, miten lyhenteitä käytetään sekä miten ne muodostuvat uutisteksteissä ja keskustelufoorumeilla. Tutkielmassani keskityn tarkastelemaan nimenomaan lyhenteiden muodostumisen eroja median eri ympäristöissä. Selvitän, onko lyhenteiden käytössä eroja uutisteksteissä ja keskustelufoorumeilla, ja jos on, niin millaisia. Olen asettanut työlleni seuraavanlaiset tutkimuskysymykset: 1) Miten lyhenteet muodostuvat, sekä miten niitä käytetään uutisteksteissä ja keskustelufoorumeilla? Millaisia eroja lyhenteiden käytössä on? 2) Millaisia ovat lyhenteiden käytön ja muodostumisen eritys…

Dead wood profile of a semi-natural boreal forest – implications for sampling

2019

Dead wood profile of a forest is a useful tool for describing forest characteristics and assessing forest disturbance history. Nevertheless, there are few studies on dead wood profiles, including both coarse and fine dead wood, and on the effect of sampling intensity on the dead wood estimates. In a semi-natural boreal forest, we measured every dead wood item over 2 cm in diameter from 80 study plots. From eight plots, we further recorded dead wood items below 2 cm in diameter. Based on these data we constructed the full dead wood profile, i.e. the overall number of dead wood items and their distribution among different tree species, volumes of different size and decay stage categories. We …

Soda noteikšana, ja nav ievērotas tiesības uz kriminālprocesa pabeigšanu saprātīgā termiņā

2020

Bakalaura darba “Soda noteikšana, ja nav ievērotas tiesības uz kriminālprocesa pabeigšanu saprātīgā termiņā” mērķis ir izpētīt Krimināllikuma 49.1 panta pirmajā daļā ietverto materiāltiesisko seku piemērošanu praksē un salīdzināt šā panta pirmajā daļā esošo regulējumu ar ārvalstu kriminālkodeksos nostiprinātām materiāltiesiskām sekām kriminālprocesa saprātīgā termiņa neievērošanas gadījumā. Tādējādi darba mērķa sasniegšanai autore izvirza šādus uzdevumus: izpētīt Krimināllikuma 49.1 panta pirmās daļas un Kriminālprocesa 14. panta būtību, analizēt to piemērošanu tiesu praksē, kā arī izpētīt ārvalstu regulējumu un salīdzināt to ar Krimināllikumā un Kriminālprocesa likumā noteikto kārtību. Izv…

Satisfação Profissional no Docente Dominicano: Antecedentes Profissionais

2019

Resumen La satisfacción laboral del colectivo docente ha sido estudiada desde diversas perspectivas, debido a los importantes efectos que esta puede tener tanto a nivel económico como a nivel organizacional. La muestra empleada en este trabajo se compone de 978 docentes dominicanos, y fue obtenida mediante un muestreo estratificado, y, por tanto, representativo de la población. En este estudio se examina un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales en el cual el contexto de trabajo y las condiciones laborales afectan el burnout y el engagement de los profesores. A su vez, se plantea que burnout y engagement afectan la satisfacción laboral docente. El modelo ajustó a los datos: x2(223)= 1089.9, p<.…

School Staff-centered School Development by Communicative Action: Working Methods for Creating Collective Responsibility - From the Idea to Action

2020

School development is often seen as a concerted (re-)action to educational policies, curriculum development, and change in education laws or regulations, and sometimes, as stakeholders’ reactions to low school performance. Generally, school development incorporates organizational, managerial, and educational activities and measures. This is done to adapt to the new situation to achieve the desired changes and goals initiated by a given curriculum reform. In contrast, this paper focuses on school staff–driven development: It describes how teachers together with paraprofessionals contribute to school-development. Using collective responsibility creating working methods of communication, the e…

Organisational Challenges for School Development and Improvement : The Obstructing Role of Sub-Groups and an Overly Positive School Culture

2020

The purpose of this study has been to identify and analyse obstacles embedded in the school organisation that impede organisational development and improvement. The general findings show that the school structure comprised sub-groups and had characteristics of a diversified organisation. This led to dysfunctional discussions that challenged school development and improvement. Second, the findings revealed that the nature of the school culture may challenge school development processes. Positive features of the school culture, such as engagement, good relationships and high self-esteem might deter the effectiveness of the schools, e.g. the schools’ ability to prioritise and improve the pupil…
