Tejuelo. Didáctica de la lengua y la literatura. Educación

2022

Si bien históricamente en España se ha dado una persistente tendencia hacia las prácticas escolares basadas en la instrucción gramatical explícita, desde el siglo XIX, pedagogos, gramáticos y maestros (a través de la prensa, en las conferencias pedagógicas, en sus manuales...), entre otros, destacan los beneficios de una enseñanza orientada a promover la reflexión sobre las formas lingüísticas. La mayoría de estos autores se inscribe en una línea que acepta la gramática no como un a priori que permite el dominio correcto de la lengua sino como una herramienta de análisis y reflexión a partir del trabajo con la lengua oral y escrita. En este trabajo nos aproximamos a esa corriente, a partir …

Effects of responsible human resource management practices on female employees’ turnover intentions

2017

This study focuses on the effects of socially responsible human resource management (SR-HRM) practices on female employees’ turnover intentions and the moderating effect of supervisor gender on this relationship. With a sample of 212 female employees from eight different industries in Finland, the results indicate that SR-HRM practices promoting equal career opportunities and work–family integration play a significant role in reducing women's turnover intentions. The study adds to the academic discourse of corporate social responsibility by highlighting the impact of the organizational-level HRM determinants on the individual-level outcome. In addition, supervisor gender makes a difference …

“I want to speak like the other people” : Second language learning as a virtuous spiral for migrant women?

2017

This article contributes to scholarship on migrant women’s second language (L2) education in North America and Europe. Questioning reductionist understandings of the relationship between female migrants, their receiving communities and L2 education, the authors consider existing literature as well as their own qualitative work to investigate the challenges, opportunities and agency of migrant women. Weaving together and thematically presenting previous scholarship and qualitative data from interviews, participant observations and classroom recordings from a mixed-gender L2 adult migrant classroom in Austria and an all-women L2 migrant classroom in the United States, they trouble conceptuali…

Struggles for moral value and the reproduction of gendered and racialised hierarchies in online discussions of violence

2019

The article examines online discussions in Finland that focus on violence committed by Finnish women, on one hand, and non-white migrant men, on the other. Drawing on the perspective of sociology of value, the article illustrates how these discussions function as sites of struggles over moral worth in a contemporary context characterised by crises of both male and white hegemony. The authors suggest that, through the discussions, these current crises are projected on migrant men and certain groups of women, who thereby become construed as morally reprehensible. The analysis sheds light on processes of (re-)legitimating the moral virtue historically attached to both masculinity and whitenes…

Early Career Women in Academia: An Exploration of Networking Perceptions

2016

This chapter explores women’s networking perceptions by focusing on early career women in social sciences. Within an exploratory research design it asks how early career women define the early career stage in academia, what definitions, meanings and interpretations they give for networks and networking, how they construct the networking process and their ability to establish and/or join networks, as early career researchers and as women. Based on two group interviews with 12 participants, our findings show that early career women in academia favour networking with peers based on shared interests (organic networking). At the same time though, they challenge and step over the perceived gender…

Associations of physical performance and physical activity with mental well-being in middle-aged women

2021

Abstract Background To investigate whether physical performance is independently of physical activity (PA) associated with positive and negative dimensions of mental well-being in middle-aged women. Methods Data were drawn from the Estrogenic Regulation of Muscle Apoptosis (ERMA) study in which women 47 to 55 years were randomly selected from the Finnish National Registry. They (n = 909) participated in measurements of physical performance (handgrip force, knee extension force, vertical jumping height, maximal walking speed, and six-minute walking distance). Both mental well-being (the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, the International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule…

Hyaluronan‐coated poly(propylene imine) dendrimers as biomimetic nanocarriers of doxorubicin

2022

A coating technology based on low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA) and ferulic acid (FA) was applied to the coating of low generation poly(propylene imine) dendrimers through a biocompatible hexa(ethylene glycol) spacer. The ensuing HA-FA-HEG-PPID dendrimeric materials showed interesting loading capability (between 7.65% and 9.08%) regarding anticancer agent doxorubicin, and their interactions with the drug appeared to hamper the drug release in the physiological environment. Thus, the stable nanostructured loaded delivery systems were able to internalize into cells expressing the HA receptor CD44 and to demonstrate high cytotoxicity comparable to that shown by equivalent amounts of fr…

Textual structure and aphasia

2009

La bibliografía sobre lenguaje y daño cerebral investiga cómo los hablantes que sufren de daño cerebral, tanto los que tienen afasia como lo que tienen lesión en el hemisferio derecho, construyen sus textos, con especial atención a las estructuras narrativas. El uso de un grupo de grabaciones de hablantes afásicos perteneciente al corpus PerLA (Percepción, lenguaje y afasia), se analiza para ver cómo estos hablantes formulan y desarrollan los textos narrativos. Analizamos cómo se adaptan las partes principales de un texto en términos de relevancia cognitiva. Utilizamos las nociones de prototipicidad e iconicidad sintàctica para la explicación de algunas de las características tradicionalmen…
