"Experience the real New Zealand - Maori culture as it is today" : representations of New Zealand and Maoris in Maori tourism websites

2012

Matkailu on maailmanlaajuisesti merkittävä ja kasvava ala. Uudessa-Seelannissa matkailulla on ollut jo pitkään merkittävä vaikutus talouteen ja koko yhteiskuntaan. Maorit ovat Uuden-Seelannin alkuperäiskansa ja vähemmistökulttuuri, sillä heitä on noin 15 prosenttia maan väestöstä. Tähän vähemmistöasemaan liittyen onkin mielenkiintoista tutkia minkälaisia representaatioita he luovat itse omasta kulttuuristaan. Matkailuun liittyy vahvasti mielikuvien luominen, sillä useimmat kulttuureihin liittyvistä matkailutuotteista perustuvat elämysten tarjoamiseen konkreettisten tuotteiden sijaan. Nämä mielikuvat ja representaatiot ovatkin tutkielman keskiössä. Tämän tutkielman tavoitteena on selvittää, …

Marsala Wine and Porto Wine, two Important Stories and two Great Wines in Comparison. The Current Market Situation and Opportunities

2012

Introduction Marsala wine is the oldest of the Sicilian wines and it takes its name from the little town where it is produced. It is one of the most famous fortified wines in the world thanks to its organoleptic qualities and its incredible versatility. Despite its ancient origin and its fame, which led this wine to be known all over the world, Marsala wine is for several years in a decline phase. Porto wine, has always been a true symbol of Portugal, is also very famous worldwide for centuries, it is obtained from different varieties of grapes grown in the Douro Valley and then it is aged in wooden barrels at the cellars of the Oporto City where it was then shipped to be exported all over …

Men will be Men? : Masculinities on display in the Facebook communication practices of Pakistani men

2021

In the past decade, the popularization of social media in Pakistan has greatly influenced the way in which people communicate and interact with each other. The rapidly evolving nature of online social media communication in the country when viewed against the backdrop of the country’s socio-cultural characteristics and religion is particularly significant. Facebook, being the prime social media platform in Pakistan has been revolutionary and liberating because while acting as a medium of communication, which transgresses the traditional manner of gendered social interactions, it has at the same time enabled the users to perpetuate and reinforce the existing gender ideology. As a result, Fac…

La stima immobiliare su larga scala: l’analisi multilevel.

2007

La sistematica dei segmenti del mercato immobiliare comprende segmenti i cui immobili presentano una contiguità spaziale e possono identificarsi nell’isolato, nel quartiere, nell’area lottizzata, nella strada e segmenti i cui immobili sono dislocati nel territorio senza una continuità spaziale. Nel mercato immobiliare, la differenziazione della funzione di stima per segmenti, quartieri, ambiti di mercato o strade, è essenziale per l’interpretazione dei prezzi marginali delle caratteristiche. La stima del valore immobiliare è effettuata tenendo conto della struttura gerarchica dei dati. L’analisi multilevel permette di determinare rette di regressione diverse per i diversi ambiti di mercato.

The Potentials of Tangible Technologies for Learning Linear Equations

2020

Tangible technologies provide interactive links between the physical and digital worlds, thereby merging the benefits of physical and virtual manipulatives. To explore the potentials of tangible technologies for learning linear equations, a tangible manipulative (TM) was designed and developed. A prototype of the initial TM was implemented and evaluated using mixed methods (i.e., classroom interventions, paper-based tests, thinking aloud sessions, questionnaires, and interviews) in real classroom settings. Six teachers, 24 primary school students, and 65 lower secondary school students participated in the exploratory study. The quantitative and qualitative analysis revealed that the initial…

Software for the learning of mathematics through musical metaphors: The creation and evaluation process of PicaLab

2018

The PicaLab project proposes the design, development, and assessment of an integrated modular software solution involving sound and music, with the aim of improving mathematical learning in the third, fourth, and fifth levels of primary education in Chile. While these modular solutions were designed as resources for the classroom, students outside of that context can use them too. The process followed a methodology in several stages in order to generate multi-modal functional prototypes, together with their respective didactic guides, that link music and mathematics. These prototypes have been put through an iterative evaluation process leading up their final version. Results indicate an ex…

Анализ и оптимизация устойчивости балок на сплошном упругом основании часть I (балки конечной длины) [Analysis and optimization of a beam on elastic …

2017

Problems of defining the optimal (against buckling) cross section area distribution for beams interacting with elastic foundation are considered. The stability of limited pinned beams and infinite continuous beams is analyzed. For all beams under consideration, the stability analysis is performed as for constant as for variable distributions of strength beam characteristics. The critical length is determined and the variational statement of beam stability problems is presented for this beam type. The exact solution of optimal problem is presented in the case of linear dependence of limited beam bending hardness on beam cross section area. For the case of squared and cubic dependences, the n…
