How hotel websites may discursively adjust to customer preferences using online criticism
2019
This paper explores discursive ways in which hotels may improve their own websites using online criticism to adjust to customer preferences. To this end, a combined method was used, consisting of a netnographic approach (Kozinet, 2010; Mkono, 2011, 2012) together with an interpersonal discourse framework (Hyland, 2008) applied to e-tourism genres (Suau-Jiménez, 2012, 2016). Four hotel websites, together with 200 corresponding negative reviews from TripAdvisor, were diachronically analyzed to identify common topics. Attitudinals were sough, being the core markers of online critiques, as well as boosters, acting as enhancing markers in hotel websites and paralleling criticized topics. Results…
Narration et Conspiration. Formes de la bêtise dans le Pendule de Foucault
2018
Dans cet article, nous proposons une lecture du Pendule de Foucault qui vise à extraire du texte littéraire une théorie de la stupidité et de la raison. Pour le texte de ce roman, il y a plusieurs formes de la bêtise, mais la formulation de cette classification est faite par un personnage ivre et dans un moment très particulier du roman. Ainsi la forme de la narration, celle de la conspiration et la théorie de l’irrationalisme se construisent parallèlement, pendant l’histoire. The aim of this study is to return to the question of the relationship between the plot of the Pendule de Foucault and the hermetic semiosis or the question of irrationalismby nuancing this report, not in the sense of…
Might as well jump: Sound affects muscle activation in skateboarding
2014
The aim of the study is to reveal the role of sound in action anticipation and performance, and to test whether the level of precision in action planning and execution is related to the level of sensorimotor skills and experience that listeners possess about a specific action. Individuals ranging from 18 to 75 years of age - some of them without any skills in skateboarding and others experts in this sport - were compared in their ability to anticipate and simulate a skateboarding jump by listening to the sound it produces. Only skaters were able to modulate the forces underfoot and to apply muscle synergies that closely resembled the ones that a skater would use if actually jumping on a ska…
China-Finland Co-operation, Trade, and Investment: In Search of Common Ground
2015
The importance of co-operation with China has been growing in Finland and the rest of Europe in view of the rising global economic and political status of China and the interest in attracting Chinese investments. In Finland, government agencies have been established for this purpose, and regional and local governments are also actively involved. Delegation visits between China and Finland have been intensively on-going for some years, but matching interests and finding common ground for co-operation, trade and investment often still proves to be a challenging task. Based on interviews with Finnish representatives and on observing delegation visits, this paper explores the difficulties that …

We found that ICOs can be described through (1) the model for providing incentives for investment, (2) the pricing strategy, (3) the token strategy and (4) the activ…
Liikunnan verkkoyhteisöt osana postmodernia liikuntakulttuuria : tapaustutkimus Relaa.com
2013
Liikuntayhteisöt ovat perinteisesti järjestäytyneet tietyssä tilassa ja ajassa: seurojen majoilla, jääkiekkohalleilla ja urheilukentillä. Viime vuosikymmenten aikana tapahtuneet yhteiskunnalliset muutokset ovat toisaalta luoneet mahdollisuuksia myös uusille, tavanomaisten ajan ja paikan rajojen ylittävien yhteisöjen syntymiselle. Sosiaalistuneen median pohjalta syntyneet verkostot ja yhteenliittymät ovat väistämättä yhä keskeisemmässä asemassa tämän päivän yhteiskunnassa. Tällaiset yhteisölliset ryhmittymät on tarpeellista ottaa nykyistä paremmin huomioon myös liikuntatieteissä, ja niiden vaikutusta liikuntakulttuuriin tulee pohtia. Käsittelen pro gradu -tutkielmassani liikunnan verkkoyhtei…
