Od Ilony Staller po Mara Carfanga, czyli seksualizacja polityki po włosku

2016

Atrakcyjność fizyczna oraz odwołania do skojarzeń seksualnych stały się codziennością współczesnej rzeczywistości medialnej, redefniując wzorce zachowań społecznych. Seksualizacji również nie da się uniknąć w świecie polityki, gdzie szczególnie w trakcie kampanii wyborczych możemy obserwować próby zdobycia uwagi mediów i wyborców poprzez mniej lub bardziej subtelne odwołania do seksu bądź atrakcyjności fizycznej. Szczególnym przypadkiem są Włochy - katolicki kraj, gdzie szczególną pozycję ma telewizja w kształtowaniu wzorców społecznych, w którym to kraju skojarzenia seksualna oraz budowanie wizerunku politycznego na atrakcyjności fizycznej dało sukces wyborczy najpierw Ilonie Staller a póź…

Verbal effect on memorisation and recognition of Wagner’s leitmotifs

2009

This study aims to investigate the different listening experiences of Richard Wagner’s leitmotifs with and without verbal (external) information provided about the leitmotifs, their meanings and the librettos of the work. In the experiment half of the participants were asked to read and memorise written information about two leitmotifs, and then to listen to the two corresponding leitmotifs several times until they were memorised. The other participants were asked to perform the same task without reading the written information. A recognition task was then conducted, which instructed participants to listen to an excerpt from Wagner’s Das Rheingold and respond with whether they noticed the t…

Els verbs de canvi d'estat en català: la participació en l'alternança causativa

2011

L’article analitza, en primer lloc, la participació dels diferents tipus de verbs de canvi d’estat del català en l’alternança causativa: la possibilitat d’un verb de tenir un oes transitiu i un d’intransitiu, amb la particularitat que l’argument objecte en el primer alternant passa a ser subjecte en el segon (v. (i) En Joan va rompre la finestra, (ii) La finestra es va rompre). L’anàlisi ens permetrà comprovar que la generalització que fa Alexiadou (2006) respecte del funcionament dels verbs de causa externa no se segueix en català. Pel que fa als verbs de canvi de causa interna, els quals no havien estat estudiats en català, veiem que el seu comportament és poc uniforme i que n’hi ha que p…

The effects of two-way communication and chat service usage on consumer attitudes in the e-commerce retailing sector

2018

In e-commerce retailing (e-retailing), where competitors are only one click away and prices are easy to compare, providing superior customer service and reciprocal communication via a company’s website are important aspects of attracting and retaining customers. One increasingly popular solution to improve customer service is a “live chat” interface that allows consumers to have real-time conversations online with customer service agents. As the literature on the impacts of real-time communication via live chat is currently very limited, this study develops and tests a model that demonstrates the moderating effects of a chat service on the relationship between two-way communication (i.e., a…

Visible organisational boundaries and the invisible boundaries of the scholarly profession

2022

The role of universities in knowledge production has changed. Although most higher learning still takes place in universities, knowledge is increasingly produced in collaborative networks comprising partners from different sectors (Välimaa, J., V. Papatsiba, and D. M. Hoffman. 2016. “Higher Education in Networked Knowledge Societies.” In Re-becoming Universities, The Changing Academy – The Changing Academic Profession in International Comparative Perspective. Vol. 15, edited by D. M. Hoffman and J. Välimaa, 13–39. Dordrecht: Springer). In addition, the focus of universities’ personnel policies has shifted from supporting professional inclusion and exclusion towards supporting the national d…

The Networked Utilisation of Satellite Images and Geospatial Technology in Journalism

2022

Satellite technology has become increasingly affordable and accessible in the past few decades. This has enabled many newsrooms to engage with genuinely remote journalism. This chapter explores the networked nature of satellite journalism and investigates its inclusion of experts and citizens outside newsrooms. Satellite journalism uses satellite-borne technology either as a (1) part of storytelling or (2) source of information. Academic research on the topic is scarce, so this chapter builds a base of knowledge on the contemporary practices, limitations and ethics—as well as directions of future development—of satellite journalism. By interviewing six journalists and one earth observation …

Exercise as stimulus for cartilage health in knee osteoarthritis

2018

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of musculoskeletal pain and disability and has significant socio-economical costs globally. There is no known cure for OA. Therapeutic exercise has been shown to evoke acute positive posttreatment effects on pain and function. Even though cartilage degeneration is crucial in OA progression, there is sparse knowledge about exercise effects on osteoarthritic cartilage. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of aquatic resistance training on the estimated biochemical composition of tibiofemoral cartilage and the association between leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and tibiofemoral cartilage in postmenopausal women with mild kn…
