Fake news on Facebook and their impact on supply chain disruption during COVID-19

2022

AbstractSocial media (SM) fake news has become a serious concern especially during COVID-19. In this study, we develop a research model to investigate to what extent SM fake news contributes to supply chain disruption (SCD), and what are the different SM affordances that contribute to SM fake news. To test the derived hypotheses with survey data, we have applied partial least square based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique. Further, to identify how different configurations of SC resilience (SCR) capabilities reduce SCD, we have used fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The results show that SM affordances lead to fake news, which increases consumer panic buying…

Investigating the affordances of a flipped mathematics classroom from an activity theoretical perspective

2020

Abstract Flipped Classroom as a pedagogical framework has gained popularity at secondary and tertiary levels of mathematics education, but there is a lack of research based on a solid theoretical foundation. This article considers the flipped mathematics classroom from the perspective of affordances and cultural–historical activity theory. The empirical background is based on semi-structured interview data from eight first-year computer-engineering students following 1 year of flipped classroom teaching. The thematic analysis of the data indicates that the flipped format offers a range of affordances at various levels of the activity system. This article advances research on affordances for…

Ammatillinen toimijuus työelämän muutosvirrassa.

2014

Työorganisaatioilta ja työntekijöiltä edellytetään jatkuvaa kehittymistä nykyajan työelämässä. Jatkuvan uudistamisen tuoksinnassa on oleellista pohtia ja tutkia, miten kehittäminen voi tapahtua kestävällä tavalla tukien yksilöiden aktiivista osallistumista, jaksamista ja identiteettityötä. Hallinnolliset määräykset ja ohjeistukset saattavat olla tehokkaita luomaan muutoksia työelämässä, mutta samalla uudistusten inhimilliset kärsimykset saattavat nousta liian suuriksi. – Katja Vähäsantasen väitöskirja Vocational teachers’ professional agency in the stream of change (Jyväskylän yliopisto 2013).

How the Learning Environment Influences Bullying: The Case of Two Universities in Ghana

2022

In response to a growing concern about bullying and victimisation at universities, this study examined students’ perceptions of the university learning environment (LE) concerning their experience of various negative behaviours and victimisation at the University of Ghana (Legon Campus) and the University of Cape Coast in Ghana. The study was a cross-sectional survey of 751 respondents. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and regression analysis indicated how students’ perceptions of the universities’ LE related to students’ bullying experiences. The results revealed an inverse relationship between students’ perceptions of the LE and their experiences of negative behaviours and victimisation…

Barns skjermbruk som tema i samarbeidet mellom barnehage og hjem – et forsømt område?

2023

Artikkelen utforsker barns skjermbruk som tema i samarbeidet mellom barnehagen og barnets hjem. På bakgrunn av en kartlegging av foreldres holdninger til barnehagens rolle når det gjelder 4–6-åringers skjermbruk, diskuteres samarbeidet mellom barnehage og hjem, i lys av danningsoppdraget og med mediepedagogikk som ramme. Studien synliggjør at barnehagen må være tettere på barns skjermbruk, som integrert del av samarbeidet med foreldrene. Ved å se barns skjermbruk som et felles anliggende, kan temaet være et moment som styrker dette samarbeidet, til barnets beste. Med forankring i danning som en kjerneoppgave i barnehagens virksomhet, synes dette å være en tematikk som bør få økt oppmerksomh…

Professional autonomy or political loyalty? How Norwegian Chief Municipality Officers handles the balance between profession and politics

2021

Den nye kommuneloven fra 2020 har som en eksplisitt intensjon å klargjøre skillet mellom politikk og administrasjon, i praksis skillet mellom øverste administrative leder – Kommunedirektør – og ordfører. Denne studien tar for seg hvordan skillet mellom politikk og administrasjon i kommunene faktisk fortoner seg for norske kommunedirektører. Den empiriske studien er en survey sendt samtlige kommunedirektører i Norge høsten 2020 (354) med en svarprosent på 58 (n=206). Spørreskjemaet besto av fire vignetter med beskrivelser av reelle valgsituasjoner, standardiserte valgalternativer, samt åpne kommentarer til vignettene. Resultatene indikerer at forholdet mellom politikk og administrasjon i enk…

Adapting Cohort-Component Methods to a Microsimulation: A case study

2022

Social scientists generally take United Nations (UN) population projections as the baseline when considering the potential impact of any changes that could affect fertility, mortality or migration, and the UN typically does projections using the cohort-component method (CCM). The CCM technique is computationally simple and familiar to demographers. However, in order to avoid the exponential expansion of complexity as new dimensions of individual difference are added to projections, and to understand the sensitivity of projections to specific conditions, agent-based microsimulations are a better option. CCMs can mask hidden assumptions that are surfaced by the construction of microsimulatio…

Depression, Anxiety at School and Self-Esteem in Children with Learning Disabilities

2014

Educational research places emphasis on the fact that pupils with Learning Disabilities may develop depressive and anxiety symptoms characterized by lower levels of self-esteem. The aim of this research is to compare the levels of depression, anxiety at school and self-esteem in children with learning disabilities, mathematical disabilities and a control group who showed typical learning. The participants were 132 children (52 girls and 80 boys), with an average age of 9 years, attending the fourth grade of primary school. These pupils were selected by scores on a battery of tests commonly used in Italy for the assessment of learning disabilities. On the whole, analyses revealed that childr…
