CArDIS : A Swedish Historical Handwritten Character and Word Dataset
2022
This paper introduces a new publicly available image-based Swedish historical handwritten character and word dataset named Character Arkiv Digital Sweden (CArDIS) (https://cardisdataset.github.io/CARDIS/). The samples in CArDIS are collected from 64, 084 Swedish historical documents written by several anonymous priests between 1800 and 1900. The dataset contains 116, 000 Swedish alphabet images in RGB color space with 29 classes, whereas the word dataset contains 30, 000 image samples of ten popular Swedish names as well as 1, 000 region names in Sweden. To examine the performance of different machine learning classifiers on CArDIS dataset, three different experiments are conducted. In the …
The time course of processing handwritten words: An ERP investigation
2021
Available online 25 June 2021. Behavioral studies have shown that the legibility of handwritten script hinders visual word recognition. Furthermore, when compared with printed words, lexical effects (e.g., word-frequency effect) are magnified for less intelligible (difficult) handwriting (Barnhart and Goldinger, 2010; Perea et al., 2016). This boost has been interpreted in terms of greater influence of top-down mechanisms during visual word recognition. In the present experiment, we registered the participants’ ERPs to uncover top-down processing effects on early perceptual encoding. Participants’ behavioral and EEG responses were recorded to high- and low-frequency words that varied in scr…

Quality-related variables at hepatological websites
2004
Abstract Background. The amount of hepatology-related information available on the Internet has substantially increased, but little is known about the characteristics and quality of the websites. Aim. The aim of this study was to describe analytically and evaluate critically the information concerning three diseases of hepatological interest: chronic hepatitis, hemochromatosis and Caroli’s disease. Methods. In accordance with a validated method, the three search terms were entered into four English language search engines and the first five links of each were considered (a total of 60 sites). The characteristics of the websites were described and their quality was evaluated by three indepen…
What Counts as ‘Good’ Academic Writing? The Interplay of Writing Norms in International Higher Education
2021
English medium instruction (EMI) programmes have become common contexts of English use for academic purposes worldwide. They tend to combine students and teachers with very varied linguistic, national and academic backgrounds who use English as a lingua franca rather than the official language of the institution. In this chapter, I discuss literature on the interplay of different kinds of norms for academic writing relevant to EMI contexts (e.g. linguistic, cultural, disciplinary), whilst providing examples from an ethnographically oriented study of academic literacy on an international master’s programme in Finland (reported on previously e.g. in McCambridge, Norms and ideologies of academ…

Literary Machines and Automata: Feedbacking Poetics The article discusses the concepts of “machine”, “automatic”, and “feedback loop” as literary and poetic ideas from the terminological, historical, and contemporary perspectives. All of them can be seen as somewhat paradoxical terms, carrying human and organic connotations with them. The key phenomenon of this article is the generator, a machine or system that produces – generates – text. The history of poetic automata extends well beyond the Internet, computer, or even electricity. The article illustrates its claims with examples of poetry generators, from a combinatory poem of the Baroque era to a few Finnish contemporary digital works. …

Return Visits: The European Background of Transcultural Life Writing
2013
In this article I read autobiographies by East Europeans who immigrated to Canada in connection with the Second World War as examples of transcultural life writing. My focus on the representation of return visits of these loyal Canadian citizens to their country of origin after 1989 reveals the underlying intention of relating the experience of life in a multicultural democratic society to the emergence of a new political consciousness in Eastern Europe. In my analysis I distinguish four types of concerns which try to bridge the past of their childhood experiences with the formation of a transcultural life in the 21st century: 1. Anna Porter’s return visit to Hungary for family reunion and …
