Mielen maisemia : luontokuvasto mielisairaalapotilaiden taiteessa
2023
Artikkeli käsittelee suomalaisten mielisairaalapotilaiden piirrosten ja maalausten luontokuvastoa. Tutkimusaineistoa ovat Helsingin kaupunginmuseon hallinnoimat Nikkilän sairaalan potilastaiteen kokoelman kuvat. Kuvien diagnostisen tulkitsemisen sijasta Nikkilän kokoelmaa lähestytään kuvastona selvittäen, millaista luontoon liittyvää symboliikkaa kokoelman teokset sisältävät. Teosten luontokuvastoa peilataan suomalaisten mielisairaalapotilaiden kirjallisiin muistelmiin, kansainvälisen potilastaiteen luontokuvastoon ja taiteen historiaan. Kun aikaisempi mielisairaaloiden potilastaiteen tutkimus on usein keskittynyt siihen, kuinka potilaiden tekemät kuvat ilmentävät heidän sairauttaan, tämän …

Contents and functions of dramatizations in team decision making
2017
This study examines the contents and functions of dramatizations in natural team decision making. Theoretically, the study employs symbolic convergence theory to understand decision making as a complex phenomenon constructed in symbolic communication. Observational meeting data and thematic interview data from an autonomous team in Finland were analyzed. A fantasy theme analysis and an inductive, rhetorical discourse analysis revealed three rhetorical visions and seven functions of dramatizations in the team’s decision making. Visions represented social, righteous, and pragmatic master analogues. The functions of dramatizations were legitimizing independent and current decisions, reinforci…
Influence of the learning environment on the representational strategies of middle school music students: an intervention-based study
2015
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a hypermedia learning environment on middle school students' meta-representational competence (MRC) in the domain of music. Particularly, we aimed at determining whether an educational intervention influenced the accuracy with which middle school students matched sounds (sonic fragments) to symbols (graphic representations). The students were randomly allocated to the experimental condition. An intervention was set up so that the experimental group students (E) were provided with scaffolding aimed at enhancing their use of constructive resources to generate representations and their critical capabilities to judge them. On the other han…
Polish contemporary art to the anti-semitism of Poles and its political significance
2016
Abstract This article presents artistic creativity which worked through the problem of Polish anti-Semitism. Almost all discussed works, performances, films, projects appeared after 2000, when Jan Tomasz Gross published his book Neighbors, in which he described the massacre in the village of Jedwabne (1941) launching a public debate about the responsibility of Poles in the Holocaust of the Jews. In the text, I showed as art, which is conventionally called “post-Jedwabne” was part of this debate. Its political status on possibly general level was associated primarily with the revision of conventionalized historical memory and national identity formed on romantic patterns. The text shows that…
Effect of thermal annealing on the luminescence of defective ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by pulsed laser ablation in water
2016
This work concerns ZnO nanoparticles (NPs), with sizes of tens of nm, produced by ablation with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser of a Zn plate in H2O. TEM images evidence the formation of nanoparticles with sizes of tens of nm. Moreover, HRTEM images and Raman spectra show that the distance between the crystalline planes and the vibrational modes are consistent with ZnO nanocrystal in wurtzite structure. Their optical properties are characterized by two emission bands both excited above the energy gap (3.4 eV): the first at 3.3 eV is associated with excitons recombination, the second at 2.2 eV is proposed to originate from a singly ionized oxygen vacancy. The green emission is independent of water pH,…
Violência, evasão e exclusão na educação superior
2019
The present text focuses on a relationship between higher education, institutional and symbolic violence and exclusion, practicing as a challenge based on reflections on the existence of evasion in Brazilian university. Ignoring the educational institution as a direct responsible for these things, this text considers that a logic in University organization and operation helps to enlarge inequalities that provide the mechanisms of evasion; at the same time, it presents itself as a space of reference and a struggle against social inequalities and violence. On a provisional basis, the text stands out that: depending on the execution of educational procedures and practices undertaken by the ins…
De-naturalizing the “predatory”: A study of “bogus” publications at public sector universities in Pakistan
2022
Predatory publishing has recently emerged as a menace in academia. University professors and researchers often exploit this practice for their economic gains and institutional prestige. The present study investigates such existing predatory publishing practices in Pakistani public sector universities using Bourdieu’s (1991) concept of symbolic violence. For this purpose, we analyzed 495 articles published by 50 university professors in the social sciences and humanities over the period 2017-2021. We also conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 postgraduate students to gather their perspectives on publishing practices. The study shows that 69% of the sample papers were published in pred…
A Time-Non-Homogeneous Double-Ended Queue with Failures and Repairs and Its Continuous Approximation
2018
We consider a time-non-homogeneous double-ended queue subject to catastrophes and repairs. The catastrophes occur according to a non-homogeneous Poisson process and lead the system into a state of failure. Instantaneously, the system is put under repair, such that repair time is governed by a time-varying intensity function. We analyze the transient and the asymptotic behavior of the queueing system. Moreover, we derive a heavy-traffic approximation that allows approximating the state of the systems by a time-non-homogeneous Wiener process subject to jumps to a spurious state (due to catastrophes) and random returns to the zero state (due to repairs). Special attention is devoted to the cas…
Miasto jako niekończące się wyzwanie
2020
W artykule zwrócona jest uwaga na zagadnienia, które wiążą się z retorycznym pytaniem, jak trudno zbudować miasto? Każde miasto miało/ma swój początek i pewną logikę rozwoju, która niekoniecznie jest odzwierciedleniem zamierzeń jego kreatorów. Miasto jest wypadkową marzeń i możliwości mieszkańców je tworzących. Ludzie chcą przebywać, egzystować w sytuacjach zakończonych, których z perspektywy dynamiki funkcjonowania miasta nie można zapewnić. Refleksja dotyka idei oraz realnego tworu miejskiego, kształtującego się w perspektywie długiego i krótkiego trwania
