Doping violates the Spirit of Sport and is thought to contradict the values which underpin this spirit. Values-based education (VBE) has been cited as a key element for creating a clean sport culture across age groups. Culturally relevant VBE requires understanding of the values that motivate athletes from different countries to practice their sport and uphold clean sport values. WADA's new International Standards for Education makes this study both needed and timely. Overall, 1,225 athletes from Germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, and the UK responded to measures assessing their general values, Spirit of Sport values, and their perceived importance of “clean sport”. MaxDiff analysis identified…

City as a museum of letters

2011

Abstract We can approach the knowledge of the city from multiple ways. We think that urban typography is a very attractive element to know the cities. In this article vindicates typography as an educational value, which allows also a better knowledge of the urban culture. Letters as a design constitute a decisive visual element in the urban environment. This article purposes a new look upon the city, at the same time that it opens up unusual spaces linked to the cultural arena and suitable geographies for the creation of learning spaces. The city is offered to us full of messages, patrimonial elements that can turn out to be very attractive if we observe them from new, interdisciplinary, su…

“My dad got depression, or something”: How do children talk about parental mental disorder?

2012

The research about children affected by parents with mental disorders has suggested that information and an understanding of the parent's problems are important factors in the child's resilience. Therefore, increasing the child's understanding has been defined as a key element in many preventive interventions. However, there is little research about children's conceptions of parental mental disorder. The article examines the discourses (vocabularies) that children use as their resources when talking about a parent's mental disorder during a qualitative research interview. It pays special attention to the interviewer-child interaction. The data come from interviews with ten Finnish children.…

Innovación docente y TIC desde la perspectiva de la docencia en Derecho

2020

Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación son un elemento extraordinario para innovar en el ámbito educativo, tal y como ha mostrado la situación generada por el COVID-19. Así, en el ámbito del Derecho son múltiples las posibilidades que se derivan de la implementación de estas herramientas para mejorar el nivel de la enseñanza y facilitar la incorporación de los estudiantes al mundo laboral. Ahora bien, la tecnología no es un fin en sí mismo, por lo que habrá que valorar la introducción de estas herramientas como complemento y no como un sustitutivo de la tarea educativa, especialmente en el ámbito del Derecho, que exige la formación de juristas con una visión integral de la real…

The Many Faces of Interactivity in Convergent Media Environments. Assessing Uses and Effects of Interactivity from a User and Management Perspective

2013

Digitization has blurred the distinctions between producers and audiences. Thus, research on interactivity as a key element of convergent media environments has grown dramatically over the past three decades. However, despite this strong research interest there is currently no consensus about the multi-faced and hard-to-grasp concept. Obviously, interactivity is used to describe numerous processes in convergent media environments that are related to communication in general, and online communication and practices like online journalism in particular. This article highlights the main strands in the conceptual development of interactivity and explores some of the effects of interactivity by s…

Affective Estrangement and Ecological Destruction in TV Crime Series Fortitude

2020

Koistinen and Mäntymäki examine how graphic violence evokes affect in the context of ecological destruction in the UK-produced TV crime fiction series Fortitude (2015–17). They argue that the series mobilises generic exchange by incorporating speculative elements into a traditional crime narrative structure, thereby creating space for affective estrangement. They show how the amalgamation of violence, ecological destruction and affect serves as an entrance into socioecological critique with a strong cautionary element through the negotiation between the human and nonhuman and the ethics of violence. Theoretically, the chapter relies on Sara Ahmed’s view of affect as social processes produce…

Omicidi mirati a mezzo drone: brevi riflessioni a margine del caso "Lo Porto" tra diritto penale e diritto internazionale

2018

Quale diritto penale in ipotesi di "vittime collaterali" di drone strike? La sempre maggiore rilevanza che il fenomeno degli omicidi mirati a mezzo drone assume nel contesto internazionale pone la necessità di interrogarsi su come, nell'ordinamento interno, le categorie classiche del diritto penale debbano operare rispetto a fattispecie "peculiari", caratterizzate da una distanza fisica e psichica dal target e dall’esistenza di una “catena di comando” coinvolta, a più livelli, nella singola operazione di omicidio mirato. Si cercherà pertanto di capire, partendo dal caso dell'omicidio di un cittadino italiano per mezzo di droni statunitensi in Pakistan, ma fornendo un contributo di portata p…

Media’s portrayal of CAM: Exploring 40 years of narratives and meanings in public discourse

2021

The media are a key element in being able to assess how the climate of public opinion regarding Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAM) has evolved over the years. The aim of this study is to explore the variation of the media representations along 40 years (1979–2018) in Spanish newspapers to assess if the press has contributed to legitimise, delegitimise or maintain the status quo of these therapies. From quantitative and qualitative approaches, we evaluate the media attention, the narratives, linguistic terms and tone used, and the relations between them. Results indicate the media reporting on CAM has remained relatively stable during the first 37 years (1979–2015) of the study, …

The rationale for and practice of EIA follow-up: an analysis of Finnish road projects

2015

Follow-up is often considered to be a weak or even missing element in environmental impact assessment (EIA). Though it is recognized that follow-up practices could provide useful opportunities to learn from projects’ actual consequences, the practice is criticized for not achieving this goal. In this paper, we aim to clarify the relationship between the theoretical rationale for EIA follow-up and the actual practices carried out in a Finnish EIA context. An empirical analysis was performed with follow-up documents. The findings indicate that follow-ups focused on dealing with environmental impacts related to the physical environment, e.g., flora, fauna, and ground and surface waters. Social…
