The Role of the Cerebellum in Social and Non-Social Action Sequences: A Preliminary LF-rTMS Study
2021
An increasing number of studies demonstrated the involvement of the cerebellum in (social) sequence processing. The current preliminary study is the first to investigate the causal involvement of the cerebellum in sequence generation, using low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF-rTMS). By targeting the posterior cerebellum, we hypothesized that the induced neuro-excitability modulation would lead to altered performance on a Picture and Story sequencing task, which involve the generation of the correct chronological order of various social and non-social stories depicted in cartoons or sentences. Our results indicate that participants receiving LF-rTMS over the cerebe…
SIC et Intelligence Territoriale : Relations pragmatiques et disciplinaires
2009
SIC and the Territorial Intelligence maintain multiple relations today. The method of territorial observation Catalyse, carried by the European Network of the Territorial Intelligence, proposes a modelling under the shape of what Jean-Jacques Girardot calls a community system of territorial intelligence (SCIT) (Girardot 2008). It is by the organization of the structuralization of the information, and by the conception of the process of communication that this type of system takes life.
The spatiotemporal dimension of doctoral education : a way forward
2020
For an individual doctoral student, doctoral education happens in multiple spaces across a considerable amount of time. However, the existing literature and conceptualisations of doctoral education do not adequately address the spatiotemporal dimension related to it. By using the concept of scales, this article examines how the social action of doing doctoral studies is affected by space and time. As a mode of inquiry, I use nexus analysis, which allows the analyst to spotlight issues that routinely go unnoticed by scholars, policy-makers but also doctoral students themselves. Based on the analysis, I argue that to theorise doctoral education further, its spatiotemporal dimension has to be …
Studying international doctoral researchers : nexus analysis as a mode of inquiry
2020
In this paper I argue how nexus analysis (Scollon & Scollon, 2004), as a holistic, qualitative mode of inquiry, can offer a fruitful activist research approach to study international doctoral researchers. To do this, I will introduce and explain the core concepts of nexus analysis and afterwards empirically demonstrate how nexus analysis can be done in practice by presenting a case study on international doctoral researchers in a particular nexus—at a Finnish university. The overall aim of this paper is to present nexus analysis as a viable alternative for those higher education researchers who want to study communication, interaction, and language-related challenges of international do…
Koulutuksellisen tasa-arvon diskurssit ja toimijat peruskoulun tuntijakouudistuksessa
2017
In this research the interest was to understand the discursive formation of educational equality in political texts concerning the national core curriculum in Finland in the beginning of 2010s. The research problem was to describe and analyze discourses of educational equality and to analyze who are portrayed as actors of educational equality. The material consists of statements which different organizations, administrative bodies of education and private individuals gave in response to presentations, prepared in 2010 and 2012, regarding the objectives of the comprehensive school and the distribution of lesson hours. The research is based on critical discourse analysis and the analysis of s…
Percorsi della devianza e della diversità. Dall'"uomo atavico" al "senza permesso di soggiorno"
2007
Il volume, oltre a tracciare l’evoluzione dei concetti riconducibili all’ampia fenomenologia delle condotte devianti, ne rintraccia ed evidenzia i processi culturali e sociali che vi fanno da sfondo. Costituendosi come un articolata ed approfondita riflessione sulle teorie dell'agire sociale e sui i modi con cui si determinano le relazioni, il volume si sofferma sulle strategie argomentative e i processi interpretativi con cui i “devianti” – gli stranieri, i “senza fissa dimora”, i “diversi”, i “disoccupati” – costituendo proiettivamente una minaccia all’ordine sociale, sono stati nel tempo individuati, etichettati ed emarginati dalle istituzioni. Ogni capitolo è correlato, oltre che da una…

Territorial Intelligence Communicational and Community System (TICCS)
2009
Information and Communication Sciences and Territorial Intelligence concept maintain multiple relations today. The method of territorial observation Catalyse, carried by the European Network of Territorial Intelligence, proposes a modelling under the shape of what Jean-Jacques Girardot calls a territorial intelligence community system (TICS, Girardot 2008). It is by the organization of the structuralization of the information, and by the conception of the process of communication that this kind of system takes life, and it is these aspects which we détail here to illustrate that both notions bring mutually. Experiments of research-action led in France, in Spain and in Europe feed these refl…
Projekty citizen science jako metoda wzmocnienia świadomości społecznej o problemie antybiotykooporności
2023
Problem antybiotykooporności jest według WHO jednym z najbardziej donośnych zagrożeń XXI wieku. Z roku na rok umiera coraz więcej osób na skutek zakażenia bakterią, która jest oporna na znane antybiotyki. Aby zapobiegać rozwojowi antybiotykooporności konieczny jest wzrost świadomości społecznej o niekorzystnych skutkach nadużywania i niewłaściwego stosowania antybiotyków. W tym celu prowadzone są liczne kampanie i akcje społeczne. Aby dotrzeć z tymi informacjami także do młodzieży realizowane są projekty citizen science, w które zaangażowani są studenci i uczniowie. W artykule przedstawimy cele i zakres projektów citizen science oraz service learning podejmowanych w celu edukacji społeczeńs…
