Semantics of Voids within Data: Ignorance-Aware Machine Learning
2021
Operating with ignorance is an important concern of geographical information science when the objective is to discover knowledge from the imperfect spatial data. Data mining (driven by knowledge discovery tools) is about processing available (observed, known, and understood) samples of data aiming to build a model (e.g., a classifier) to handle data samples that are not yet observed, known, or understood. These tools traditionally take semantically labeled samples of the available data (known facts) as an input for learning. We want to challenge the indispensability of this approach, and we suggest considering the things the other way around. What if the task would be as follows: how to buil…
Predicting response to interpersonal counselling (IPC) from case formulation : a systematic comparison between recovered and unchanged depressive cas…
2019
We sought to explore how the process between the counsellor and patient for arriving at a case formulation may predict the outcome of manualized interpersonal counselling (IPC) for depression in primary care. Qualitative content analysis and applied conversation analysis (CA) were used to achieve depth in the understanding of case formulation process among five patients who recovered and five who were unchanged according to quantitative post-treatment change rates derived from Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation– Outcome Measure (CORE-OM). Interaction in the case formulations for the recovered group was generally characterized by a joint construction effort between the counsellor and th…
Pre-attentive change detection of emotional facial expressions : effects of depression and a short psychological intervention - and ERP study
2012
Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tutkia aivojen esitietoista muutoksenhavaitsemiskykyä mittaamalla tapahtumasidonnaisia herätevastepotentiaaleja (ERP) elektroenkefalografiassa (EEG), käyttäen ärsyk-keenä emotionaalisia kasvonilmeitä. Tutkimuksessa verrattiin kahden ryhmän: masentuneiden sekä ei-masentuneiden - ERP vasteista. Lisäksi tutkimme psykologisen lyhyt intervention vaikutuksia koehen-kilöiden ERP vasteisiin. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin ärsykkeinä seitsemään universaalia kasvonilmettä, viidessä eri koeasetelmassa. Yhdessä koeasetelmassa kaikilla seitsemällä kasvonilmeelle oli yhtä suuri todennäköisyys esiintyä (p=0.14). Neljässä muussa koeasetelmassa käytettiin niin sanottua oddball pa…
Informal situated counselling in a school context†
2008
The institutional regulation of counselling conversations does not always provide optimal conditions for counselling. Many teachers experience that some “normal” conversations develop into conversations which are of a counselling nature. Conversations which resemble counselling can be optimal counselling opportunities. In this paper we describe and develop these counselling conversations, which we call Informal Situated Counselling. †An earlier version of this article has been published in Norsk Pedagogisk Tidsskrift [Journal of Norwegien Pedagogic].

2006
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Resumen en inglés Se muestra el importante papel de uno de los instrumentos más comunes, el péndulo, en la construcción del paradigma newtoniano. Del análisis de algunas aplicaciones interesantes llevadas a cabo por los mejores científicos de ese tiempo, se concluye que el uso apropiado del péndulo en el aula puede ser una manera fácil de introducir la evolución histórica y epistemológica de conceptos físicos básicos.

Kohti valveutumista ja ajattelun rajoja kriittisen pedagogiikan keinoilla
2018
Katsauksessa pohdimme kriittisen pedagogiikan mahdollisuuksia lisätä opettajaopiskelijoiden kykyä jäsentää yhteiskunnallisten ilmiöiden suhdetta kasvatukseen. Esimerkkinä käytämme Lapset elämänsä valtiaiksi -hanketta, jota Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulun sosionomikoulutuksessa on toteutettu Venäjällä ja Virossa. Siinä sosiokulttuurisen innostamisen avulla, opiskelijoiden oman osallistumisen kautta, pyritään luomaan solidaarisuuteen ja tasa-arvoon kurkottavia yksilöitä. Toiminnan keskeisiä arvoja ovat yhteisöllisyys, osallistuminen, dialogi ja luovuus. Prosessin päämääränä on todellisuuden kriittinen tarkastelu ja siitä kumpuava toiminta. Kriittisen pedagogiikan sovelluksia toteutetaan yliopis…
Dramatic conversation: An exploratory application of Burton's discourse model
1988
The British sociolinguists Sinclair and Coulthard have generated a systematic approach to the analysis of natural conversation using classroom discourse. Burton has articulated an innovative development of this model that she claims is applicable to a broad range of spoken discourse. She focuses on the language of dramatic plays. Her model is explained, and in an attempt to assess its viability, an application to a brief exchange in a Tennessee Williams play and its Italian translation is proposed. Interesting differences between the interactive structures of the two texts are revealed, indicating that Burton's model may be fruitful for the analysis of fictional dialogue. However, theatre t…
Effects of conversation content on viewing dyadic conversations
2016
People typically follow conversations closely with their gaze. We asked whether this viewing is influenced by what is actually said in the conversation and by the viewer’s psychological condition. We recorded the eye movements of healthy (N = 16) and depressed (N = 25) participants while they were viewing video clips. Each video showed two people, each speaking one line of dialogue about socio-emotionally important (i.e., personal) or unimportant topics (matter-of-fact). Between the spoken lines, the viewers made more saccadic shifts between the discussants, and looked more at the second speaker, in personal vs. matter-of-fact conversations. Higher depression scores were correlated with les…
Conflicts and Reconciliation in the Postmillennial Heritage-Policy Discourses of the Council of Europe and the European Union
2019
AbstractLähdesmäki analyses the heritage-policy discourses of the EU and the Council of Europe. She particularly discusses how these institutions deal with the challenges the idea of heritage faces in today’s Europe and the opportunities that these may present to respond to these challenges. The analysis shows how the EU and the Council of Europe seek to reconcile heritage-related conflicts by approaching heritage as a space for civil participation, interaction, intercultural dialogue, and conversation about divergent values and narrations of the past. However, their policy discourses often relay on a static and materialist notion of heritage. This kind of discourse maintains geographical, …
