The Genealogy of Personal Names: towards a more productive method in historical onomastics
2011
It is essential to combine genealogical and collective biographical approaches with network analysis if one wants to take full advantage of the evidence provided by (hereditary) personal names in historical and linguistic onomastic research. The naming practices of rural families and clans from the 18th to the 20th century can bring us much fresh information about their enduring attitudes and values, as well as about other mentalities of everyday life. Personal names were cultural symbols that contained socially shared meanings. With the help of genealogical method it is possible to obtain a more nuanced understanding of these past naming practices, for example by comparing the conventions …
Leadership in an online multiplayer strategy game: case – Illuria
2011
This paper looks at leadership communication in the context of online multiplayer games and the groups that operate within them. In multiplayer games promoting teamwork and long-term cooperation, issues of management and leadership are prevalent. The study explores the experiences that members of multiplayer communities have towards leadership in multiplayer games by looking at one specific case of organised team play within the framework of a turn-based online strategy game. The data utilised in this study consist of themed player interviews conducted via e-mail. The analysis proposes three central dimensions that emerged from the data. These were labelled: (1) the leader as primus motor, …
Assessment of the impacts of an oil spill on the populations of common guillemot (Uria aalge) and long-tailed duck (Clangula hyemalis) - an expert kn…
2012
The amount of operated oil transports continues to increase in the Gulf of Finland and in the case of an accident hazardous amounts of oil may be spilled into the sea. The oil accident may be harmful for the common guillemot and long-tailed duck populations. In this study expert knowledge regarding the behaviour and population dynamics of common guillemot and long-tailed duck in the Gulf of Finland was used to build a model to assess the impacts of an oil spill on the mortality and population size of these species. The Bayesian networks were used in the modelling. Based on the results the breeding colony of guillemots in Aspskär may survive in the consequence of recolonization. In conclusio…
Habilidades matemáticas tempranas en niños chilenos con Trastorno del Desarrollo del Lenguaje: Un estudio comparativo
2021
En las últimas décadas se ha incrementado el interés de las investigaciones respecto a las dificultades académicas que presentan los niños con Trastorno del Desarrollo del Lenguaje (TDL). No obstante, su relación con las habilidades matemáticas es una de las menos estudiadas. El objetivo de este estudio consistió en determinar si existen diferencias relevantes entre las habilidades matemáticas tempranas de niños con TDL y con desarrollo típico (DT). Participaron 78 niños de 4 a 7 años 11 meses de edad, pertenecientes a colegios con programas de integración escolar de Santiago de Chile. Se conformó un grupo de 44 niños con TDL y un grupo de 34 con DT. Se establecieron comparaciones del rendi…
María de Fonseca (c. 1486-1521) and the Marquis of Zenete (1473-1523): Aristocratic Rebels and Patrons of Renaissance Culture
2016
La historia de Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, marqués de Zenete, el hijo primogénito del Cardenal Mendoza, y su segunda mujer María de Fonseca podría proporcionar a un escritor material más que suficiente para escribir una novela apasionante, y ciertamente merece ser mejor conocida, sobre todo en el mundo anglófono. Entre otras cosas, este artículo arroja algo de luz sobre la condición social vulnerable de la mujer en España durante la baja Edad Media y el Renacimiento, cuando había más oportunidades educativas para las damas de la nobleza, y pone en duda el supuesto papel jugado por la reina Isabel en defensa de la libertad y los derechos de la mujer; y discute cómo el marqués de Zenete expresó su…

Data from: Inter-annual variation and long-term trends in proportions of resident individuals in partially migratory birds
2016
Partial migration – a part of a population migrates and another part stays resident year-round on the breeding site – is probably the most common type of migration in the animal kingdom, yet it has only lately garnered more attention. Theoretical studies indicate that in partially migratory populations, the proportion of resident individuals (PoR) should increase in high latitudes in response to the warming climate, but empirical evidence exists for few species. We provide the first comprehensive overview of the environmental factors affecting PoR and the long-term trends in PoR by studying 27 common partially migratory bird species in Finland. The annual PoR values were calculated by divid…

Déconstruction et redéfinition du ‘clandestin’ dans Il ladro di merendine et L’altro capo del filo d’Andrea Camilleri
2022
Andrea Camilleri used to say he regretted that his novels were seen by his readers as more entertaining than thought-provoking. For his work carries a militant message and far-left ideas. In his narratives, the author deconstructs traditional schemes and definitions and proposes to read reality through other prisms. Thus, in his two novels Il ladro di merendine and L’altro capo del filo, Camilleri deconstructs and redefines the concept of ‘clandestinity’, both through inventio and through symbolic objects. The boundary shifts: it no longer separates the licit from the illicit but the intimate from the visible.
