Lihavuusdiskurssit ja lihavuuden representaatiot laihdutusblogeissa
2016
Lihavuus on monitahoinen kulttuurinen ja yhteiskunnallinen aihe, joka puhuttaa ja herättää mielipiteitä. Yhteiskunnassamme vallitsee vahva hoikkuusnormi, ja ruumiin koko onkin yhä enenevissä määrin alkanut vaikuttaa siihen, miten yksilöön suhtaudutaan. Kandidaatintutkielmani tavoitteena on selvittää, millaisia lihavuuden representaatioita ja lihavuuteen liittyviä diskursseja laihdutusblogeissa esiintyy. Tutkimuksen teoreettisena viitekehyksenä toimii diskurssintutkimus, joka näkee kielenkäytön osana sosiaalista todellisuutta ja näin kykenevänä myös muokkaamaan sitä ja vaikuttamaan siihen. Hyödynnän tutkimuksessani erityisesti diskurssin ja representaation käsitteitä. Diskursseilla viitataan…
How representative are referendums? Evidence from 20 years of Swiss referendums
2017
Direct democracy allows citizens to reverse decisions made by legislatures and even initiate new laws which parliaments are unwilling to pass, thereby, as its proponents argue, leading to more representative policies than would have obtained under a purely representative democracy. Yet, turnout in referendums is usually lower than in parliamentary elections and tends to be skewed towards citizens of high socio-economic status. Consequently, critics of direct democracy argue that referendum outcomes may not be representative of the preferences of the population at large. We test this assertion using a compilation of post-referendum surveys encompassing 148 national referendums held in Switze…

The Influence of the Treaty of Lisbon on the EU Immigration Regulations with Particular Attention to the Principle of Solidarity and Fair Sharing of Responsibility Between Member StatesAnalysis of the influence of the Treaty of Lisbon on the EU immigration regulations with particular attention to the principle of solidarity and fair sharing of responsibility between Member States indicates that the Treaty of Lisbon extensively reformed these regulations. Its premise and mechanisms should be assessed as justified. However, they give a lot of leeway for interpretation and need to be supplementedwith EU secondary law. Unfortunately, states are primarily driven by their interest when applying t…
Chirurgische Ausbildung im digitalen Zeitalter – Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality und Robotik im Medizinstudium
2021
The digital transformation of healthcare is changing the medical profession. Augmented/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) and robotics are being increasingly used in different clinical contexts and require supporting education and training, which must begin within the medical school. There is currently a large discrepancy between the high demand and the number of scientifically proven concepts. The aim of this thesis was the conceptual design and structured evaluation of a newly developed learning/teaching concept for the digital transformation of medicine, with a special focus on the influence of surgical teaching.Thirty-five students participated in three courses of the blended learning curriculum "…
Cryopreservation of Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) Axillary Buds from In Vitro Shoots Using the Droplet Vitrification Method
2021
Cryopreservation by droplet vitrification was applied to hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.). axillary buds of the Italian cultivated variety Tonda Gentile Romana, which were collected from in vitro growing shoots, immersed in ice cooled PVS2 or PVS3 for 60 or 90 min, then transferred to a droplet of vitrification solution, placed on a strip of aluminium foil, and plunged into liquid nitrogen (LN). Additionally, the effect on the recovery of the mother plant after cryopreservation was evaluated, following a cold pre-treatment at 4 °C for 3 months. The highest regrowth percentage (56.7%) was obtained after applying PVS3 for 60 min, while the application of PVS2 for the same amount of time reduced…
Size Matters… And Age Too - Differentiated Integration Approach to the Functions of the EU Council Rotating Presidency
2022
The objective of this paper is to present how the roles attributed to the institution of the EU Council Rotating Presidency changed after the reform of the Lisbon Treaty. It argues that the legal modifications introduced by the treaty brought about some further going changes of the roles performed by the EU member state presiding the EU Council. The analysis goes beyond simple reading the Reform Treaty and focuses on the perceptions and expectations towards the Rotating Presidency (as understood by the logic of appropriateness). The change of perceptions regarding the roles of the Rotating Presidency is seen in relation to the level of the council system and its field of competence. As a re…
Spatial data fusion and analysis for soil characterization: a case study in a coastal basin of south-western Sicily (southern Italy)
2012
Salinization is one of the most serious problems confronting sustainable agriculture in semi-arid and arid regions. Accurate mapping of soil salinization and the associated risk represent a fundamental step in planning agricultural and remediation activities. Geostatistical analysis is very useful for soil quality assessment because it makes it possible to determine the spatial relationships between selected variables and to produce synthetic maps of spatial variation. The main objective of this paper was to map the soil salinization risk in the Delia-Nivolelli alluvial basin (south-western Sicily, southern Italy), using multivariate geostatistical techniques and a set of topographical, phy…
Stress au travail et santé : situation chez les indépendants
2011
Dans de nombreux secteurs d’activité, le stress au travail est considéré comme faisant partie des risques pour la santé auxquels peuvent être confrontés les travailleurs salariés et non-salariés ou indépendants. [br/] Le terme de "stress" peut avoir plusieurs définitions en fonction des disciplines médicales, biologiques, médico-sociales, des sciences humaines et sociales qui y font référence. Quelle que soit l’approche disciplinaire, le stress peut être considéré comme un élément d’un processus complexe, à la fois biologique, psychologique et social en réponse à une situation aversive.[br/] Le régime social des indépendants (RSI), qui assure la couverture maladie et de retraite des artisan…
