WATER MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS AT THE BUKÓWKA DRINKING WATER RESERVOIR’S CROSS-BORDER BASIN AREA IN TERMS OF ITS ESTABLISHED FUNCTIONS
2015
The paper covers the analysis of water management problems in the cross-border reservoir basin of Bukówka, located at the Bóbr river, at 271+540 km of its course, below the Czech-Polish border, in Dolnośląskie Voivodeship. The problems of water management in the context of the reservoir’s functions have been analyzed; these are: flood control, the provision of water during low water level periods for the Water Treatment Plant in Marciszów, the provision of drinking water for the city of Wałbrzych as well as the provision of proper flow in the Bóbr river bed downstream from the reservoir. Due to its localization right below the border with the Czech Republic, the reservoir is exposed to a nu…
Vorbereitung von Austauschstudierenden auf ein Studium in einem deutschsprachigen Land : Ein textsortenorientiertes Blended-Learning-Konzept

Sourcing practices in online journalism : an ethnographic study of the formation of trust in and the use of journalistic sources
2017
Arguably one of the most important factors of journalistic quality is careful source selection. Studies on online journalism have revealed working conditions which may lead to poor sourcing practices. This article seeks to answer the following questions: What sources do online journalists use, and how do they rationalize their sourcing practices? A total of 17 Finnish online journalists in 7 newsrooms were observed and interviewed over their practices of source searching, evaluation, and use. The study revealed five distinctive rationales of source use, which I call trust discourses: the ideological, the pragmatic, the cynically pragmatic, the consensual, and the contextual trust. Different…
Las formas cotidianas de la felicidad y sus mandatos: Pedagogías del pensamiento positivo, trabajo docente y subjetividad en el neoliberalismo contem…
2020
Positive thinking constitutes one of the great traditions that lead to the idea of the subject as an entrepreneur of himself and is perhaps one of the best that has successfully condensed cultural, political, social and pedagogical processes linked to reflection on well-being in this historical time. The teaching work is especially moved by the pregnancy of these perspectives that challenge the pedagogical field and the education workers as ?agents of change, or at least one more school available to give the discussion on well-being and happiness (yours and the students?) is celebrated and encouraged. In this article, I intend to understand what is being built as pedagogical discourses abou…
Povertà, corsi di vita, welfare, riflessività
2019
The paper summarizes the sociological debate on the issues of poverty and social exclusion, focusing on the relationship between the micro and macrosociological dimensions of social relations. The author questions the links between impoverishment processes, individual and family life courses, structural and environmental characteristics, individual reflexivity, welfare interventions and services. The paper presents a clear picture not only of these complex interconnections, but also of individual and family strategies for coping with vulnerability.
De venta en venta hasta El Quijote. Un viaje europeo por la literatura de Mesón
2007
On these pages travel from the Canterbury Tales to the Quijote going from inn to inn throughout a European literary geography. We stop and lodge in the italian series of novelle (Sacchetti, Bandello), in the Chevalry Poems of the Renaissance (Pulci, Ariosto), in the Sixteenth Century theatre (from Gil Vicente to Lope de Rueda and the Intronati di Siena), in the Comedia Nueva and especially in the comedias de meson de Lope de Vega, in the Elizabethan Theatre (Shakesperare above all), in the Guzmán de Alfarache, in La ilustre fregona (the novel and also the commedy), and so on until the Quijote, where the multiple experience of inns and roads is closely examined. At every stop I reflecton the…
Inny/obcy: doświadczenie języka i rzeczywistości (literacko-kulturowa ponowoczesność)
2017
The subject matter is developed around the Other, their presence and their personalising in the literary-cultural space. The reality becomes the source of observation (fiction and non-fiction) and reveals not only a variety of human experience in the world of multiculturalism, but also forms of “branding” the Other (rhetoric of the dominant communities towards cultural minorities) which correspond to them. The analysis of the rhetoric of speech and image permits to reveal the good and the bad side of language-cultural stereotypes, including also attitudes and behaviours affected by ideology.
The (im)possible success of disadvantaged students. Reflections on education, migration and social change
2019
The paper focuses on the ?unexpected pathways? of successful students with an immigrant background: these biographical routes, that seems socially impossible, raise theoretical issues around the individual-society, actor-structure relationship. Disadvantaged students who succeed represent a sociological challenge in the attempt to understand atypical situations and to identify the institutional processes and the structural opportunities that facilitate them, reducing ethnic inequalities in education. This framework is the starting point of the Su.Per. project (Success in educational pathways of students with immigrant background), based on the collection of written autobiographies of 65 imm…

2016
Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää, kuinka englantia työssään virallisena kielenä käyttävien suomalaisten korkeakouluopiskelijoiden identiteetti rakentuu englannin kielellä. Työn keskiössä ovat diskurssit ja identiteetti, jonka nähdään rakentuvan diskursiivisesti kielestä ja kaksikielisyydestä puhumisen kautta. Essentiaalisen identiteetin sijaan tutkielmassa sovelletaan käsitystä dynaamisista, päällekkäisistä ja samanaikaisista identiteeteistä. Työn taustan muodostaa toisen kielen ja lingua franca –englannin identiteettitutkimukset. Tutkimuskysymykset ovat: 1) Millaisia diskursseja haastateltavat tuottavat puhuessaan englannin kielestä ja kaksikielisyyd…
