Indicators for Tourist Destinations: A General Assessment
2022
The assessment and monitoring of tourist destinations is now more than ever a prerogative of governments around the world. The contiguous situation caused by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is pushing local destinations to adopt new standards that have never been considered until now. In addition, the collapse of tourist demand and the partial recovery of tourist activities could, in the medium term, affect tourist flows, but more importantly the tourist supply, which still suffers from suppliers and producers damaged by the blockage of services and production. The work aims to provide a general assessment of sustainability and competitiveness indicators, describing the work carried o…
Planthology: an Application System for Plant Diseases Management
2017
The goals of modern agriculture are obtaining high yields that meet the increasing nutritional requirements of the World population. This is extremely difficult for three kind of reasons: i) the lands dedicated to agricultural use are strongly reduced in industrialized Countries; ii) farmers prefer an homogeneous product, because it is easier to manage, with consequent reduction of biodiversity, iii) globalization and climate change have led to the introduction of new pathogens and pest in environments other than original ones, resulting in serious production losses. The consequences of these problems, followed by not timely intervention leads to conditions that make not possible to obtain …
Linking bean-to-bar to sustainable entrepreneurship
2017
The increasing growth and recognition of bean-to-bar chocolate production have led to some people calling it a ”movement” or ”revolution”. The entrepreneurs championing bean-to-bar assert that their approach provides better and innovative services to both cocoa farmers (growers) and consumers. In essence, they are meaningfully contributing to the sustainable transformation of the cocoa industry. Furthermore, researchers agree that a concept that combines elements from both sustainability and entrepreneurship is called sustainable entrepreneurship. Therefore, are bean-to-bar chocolate producers sustainable entrepreneurs? In an attempt to answer this question, this thesis explores the links b…
Biologian aineenopettajaopiskelijoiden asenteet ja valmiudet opettaa genetiikkaa
2013
Genetics is a relevant topic in modern society and its applications are widely used in everyday life as well as in scientific research. As the goal of general education is to give students the abilities needed to be a member of society, genetics is also part of secondary school and upper secondary school biology teaching. Teachers think that teaching genetics in school is important. However genetics is viewed as a difficult subject to learn. Although students’ skills in genetics have been measured in studies, there are no skill rate measurement tests extended to teachers and teacher students. However, teachers’ knowledge of the subject influences students’ learning results, and so, in order…
Motivaation yhteys luku- ja kirjoitustaitoon venäjää kotikielenään puhuvilla peruskoululaisilla
2015
Motivaatiota on aiemmin tutkittu laajasti ja tiedetään, että sillä on merkitystä toisen ja vieraan kielen oppimisessa (Dörnyei 1994, 273). Kuitenkin maahanmuuttajien motivaatiota kotikieltään kohtaan on tutkittu melko vähän. Raportoimme tässä artikkelissa yhden pro gradu -tutkielman (Perikangas 2015) tuloksia. Tutkielmassa selvitettiin venäläistaustaisten koululaisten motivaatiota kotikieltään venäjää kohtaan sekä sitä, millainen yhteys motivaatiolla on venäjän kielen luku- ja kirjoitustaitoon. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin sitä, mitkä taustatekijät mahdollisesti ovat yhteydessä oppilaiden motivaatioon. nonPeerReviewed
Pihatrampoliini lasten motoristen perustaitojen kehittäjänä
2014
Viitamaa Kirsi (2014). Pihatrampoliini lasten motoristen perustaitojen kehittäjänä. Liikuntakasvatuksen laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, liikuntapedagogiikan pro gradu -tutkielma, 65 s., 2 liitettä. Varhaislapsuus on ihmisen kehityksen kulta-aikaa, jolloin motoriset perustaidot tulisi oppia mahdollisimman hyvin. Viime vuosina pihatrampoliinien suosio on lisääntynyt lasten ja nuorten keskuudessa. Yhä useamman suomalaisen kodin pihalta löytyy pihatrampoliini. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää pihatrampoliinin käytön tarjoamia mahdollisuuksia lasten motoristen perustaitojen harjaannuttamiseen. Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin vanhempien ja lasten kokemuksia pihatrampoliinin käytöstä. Tämä t…

Sustainability Development in Mathematics Education : A Case Study of What Kind of Meanings Do Prospective Class Teachers Find for the Mathematical S…
2019
In this article, our focus is on sustainable development in mathematics education from the point of view of teacher training. The aim was to develop prospective teachers’ content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of school mathematics. As a case study, we chose the mathematical symbol “a/b”, and examined how prospective class teachers in Finland connect it to the concepts of fraction, ratio, division, rational number or probability. Mathematics textbooks often have a central role in lessons, and they affect strongly how pupils understand concepts and the relationships between them. We chose languaging as a multi-semiotic approach to interpreting what kind of meanings the prospecti…
Is Environmental Sustainability Also “Economically Efficient”? The Case of the “SOStain” Certification for Sicilian Sparkling Wines
2022
The Italian wine industry is strongly committed to sustainability. Among the numerous sustainability certifications and programs implemented in Italy for the wine sector, SOStain is the oldest at the regional level. The SOStain Foundation promotes the voluntary application of a sustainability program, developed in 2010 in Sicily (Southern Italy). The requirements of the SOStain specifications are connected to the new CAP 2023–2027 objectives; therefore, companies preparing for the new challenges of future winemaking might be interested in joining the SOStain Foundation for greening production practices. The objective of this study was to learn producers’ and consumers’ opinions about motiva…
Kosmētikas industrijas ilgtspējīgās attīstības reklāmu multimodālā analīze
2020
Mūsdienu komunikācija un informācijas apmaiņa notiek ne tikai izmantojot valodu, bet arī dažādus citus komunikācijas izteiksmes veidus, kā piemēram, attēlus, žestus, krāsas, mūziku un balsi. Multimodalitāte kosmētikas nozares ilgtspējīgās reklāmās tika izvēlēta, ņemot vērā pašreizējo pieaugošo pieprasījumu pēc ilgtspējīgiem izstrādājumiem, kā arī tendences komunikāciju izpaust dažādos citos veidos, ne tikai ar valodas palīdzību. Šajā pētījumā tika izmantota kvalitatīvā multimodālā analīze, balstoties uz Kresa un van Līvena (2006) (Kress and van Leeuwen) vizuālo komunikāciju modeli. Pētījuma korpuss sastāvēja no divpadsmit ilgtspējības reklāmām no dažādiem kosmētikas zīmoliem Latvijā, Amerik…
