Domestic dexterity and cultural policy : the idea of cottage industry and historical experience in Finland from the great famine to the reconstructio…

2016

The concept of cottage industry (kotiteollisuus) referred especially to rural craft practices. For the promotion of cottage industries, a state administrative organ and a network of cottage industry associations and schools were established. A sphere developed and monitored by specialists, cottage industry policies were planned as official committee work. However, the matter was usually addressed as ‘the idea of cottage industry’ (kotiteollisuusaate). In this study, the historical idea of cottage industry and its cultural and political backgrounds are analysed. The starting point of the investigation is in the post-WWII Cottage Industry Production Committee, but from its years of activity, …

Prometeo genetista? Per il superamento dell'opposizione natura/cultura, una prospettiva antropopoietica ed ecopoietica

2019

During the XVIIth Century, particularly with Descartes, appeared the modern concept of nature: a nature as object submitted to the reason of man. Contrary to what is generally assumed, this « nature » as domain to be worked out by man does not depend on the Greek concept of phusis. It is not to be opposed either to the modern concept of « culture ». On the contrary the Greek phusis as dynamical process invites us to think the relationship between nature and culture, or rather between the environment and the communities of men which live in it and through it in terms of a necessary interaction. The Greek phusis leads to a critique of the modern, neoliberal paradigm of natural ressources to b…

The role of immigrants' self identity in effective integration process into Finland

2016

The purpose of this research is to study the role of immigrants’ identity in the process of effective integration into Finland. The research questions of the study explore (a) individual perceptions of self identity and effective integration into the host society from immigrants’ perspectives, (b) the impact of the integration process on immigrants’ self identity and (c) the identity changes of immigrants during the process of integration into the host society. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with six participants in Jyväskylä, Finland in order to best capture immigrants’ diverse life experiences reflecting identity issues during the integration process into the host soci…

Capturing the Severity and Impairment Associated With Depression: The Overall Depression Severity and Impairment Scale (ODSIS) Validation in a Spanis…

2019

Background: The Overall Depression Severity and Impairment Scale (ODSIS) is a self-report scale designed to evaluate the severity and functional impairment associated with depression. Objective: This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the online version of the ODSIS in Spanish outpatients with depression and anxiety disorders. Method: Patients with a main diagnosis of a depressive (n = 283) or anxiety disorder (n = 191) and a mean age of 38.15 (SD = 12.06) were evaluated with a clinical diagnostic interview and measures assessing depression, anxiety, positive and negative affect, and quality of life. Factorial structure, internal consistency, convergent, and discriminant validit…

Disseny i validació d'un instrument per avaluar la inclusivitat funcional en el Sistema Educatiu

2022

L’estudi que es desenvolupa en la present investigació se centra en el disseny i validació inicial d’una escala que permeta mesurar la percepció/opinió del professorat de primària i secundària obligatòria respecte a la IF (IF). La finalitat d'aquest procés d'investigació avaluativa és el disseny d'un model sistèmic d'anàlisi de la qualitat educativa, des d'un enfocament d'avaluació de necessitats, que integra un sistema de qüestionaris de context optimitzat a nivell mètric, que afavorisca la utilitat de les avaluacions de sistemes, tenint com a principi la Cohesió Social. L’objectiu general de l’estudi teòric és fonamentar l’educació inclusiva, parant atenció en la inclusió educativa de l’a…

Calcium silicate hydrates: Solid and liquid phase composition

2015

© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. This paper presents a review on the relationship between the composition the structure and the solution in which calcium silicate hydrate (C S H) is equilibrated. The silica chain length in C S H increases with the silicon concentration and the calcium content in the interlayer space with the calcium concentrations. Sodium and potassium are taken up in the interlayer space preferentially at low calcium concentrations and thus by low Ca/Si C S H. Aluminium uptake in C S H increases strongly at higher aluminium concentrations in the solution. At low Ca/Si aluminium substitutes silica in the bridging position at Ca/Si. > 1 aluminium is bound in TAH. Recently developed ther…

Self-Efficacy Between Previous and Current Mathematics Performance of Undergraduate Students: An Instrumental Variable Approach to Exposing a Causal …

2021

PurposeSelf-efficacy has been argued theoretically and shown empirically to be an essential construct for students’ improved learning outcomes. However, there is a dearth of studies on its causal effects on performance in mathematics among university students. Meanwhile, it will be erroneous to assume that results from other fields of studies generalize to mathematics learning due to the task-specificity of the construct. As such, attempts are made in the present study to provide evidence for a causal relationship between self-efficacy and performance with a focus on engineering students following a mathematics course at a Norwegian university.MethodThe adopted research design in the presen…

Diseño y validación de un instrumento para evaluar el valor social subjetivo de la educación

2017

Actualmente, la importancia que se atribuye a la educación, tanto desde la percepción social, grupal o individual, puede estar repercutiendo sobre el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. En esta línea, este estudio se centra en diseñar y validar un instrumento de evaluación del Valor Social Subjetivo de la Educación (VSE-Subjetivo) dentro del marco de referencia del Modelo de Evaluación para la Cohesión Social. A partir de una revisión documental internacional sobre el concepto a nivel evaluativo y una validación cruzada, tanto a nivel estatal (España) como a nivel internacional entre varios países (Argentina, España y República Dominicana), presentamos el constructo teórico y sus cuatro dimen…
