New Materialist Explorations into Language Education
2023
This open access book analyzes language education through a socio-material framework. The authors revisit their position as researchers by decentering themselves and humans in general from the main focus of research activities and giving way to the materialities that are agentive but often overlooked parts of our research contexts and processes. Through this critical posthumanist realism, they are able to engage in research that sees society as an ethical interrelationship between humans and the material world and explore the socio-materialities of language education from the perspectives of material agency, spatial and embodied materiality, and human and non-human assemblages. Each chapter…
Aistikanavapohjaisesti eriytetyn verkko-oppimisympäristön analyysi
2017
Tutkimuksessa analysoidaan verkko-oppimisympäristön oppimateriaalin eriyttämistä aistikanavapohjaisesti. Oppimateriaalin eriyttämiseen käytetään VARK-miellejärjestelmämallia, joka pyrkii tukemaan oppilaan oppimismieltymyksiä luokittelemalla kyselyn avulla oppilaat visuaalisen, auditiivisen, lukija–kirjoittaja- ja kinesteettisen aistipreferenssin mukaan ja tarjoamalla luokittelun perusteella heille erilaisia oppimisstrategioita. Työssä tutkitaan, miten VARK-miellejärjestelmä soveltuu yläkoululaisten historian verkko-oppimateriaalin eriyttämisen perustaksi oppimistulosten ja oppimiskokemusten näkökulmasta. Tutkimusta varten luotiin verkko-oppimisympäristö, johon koottiin yhden oppitunnin aika…
Italiani in Perú fra Otto e Novecento: marinai, commercianti, imprenditori di origine ligure
2015
Numericamente limitata, come del resto negli altri paesi della costa del Pacifico, l’immigrazione che dalla penisola italiana si dirige verso il Perú tra la metà dell’800 e l’inizio del ‘900 presenta alcuni tratti del tutto peculiari. Si tratta nella stragrande maggioranza di soggetti provenienti dalla Liguria, gente di mare che si muove non tanto sotto la spinta di specifici e contingenti fattori di espulsione e di attrazione, quanto piuttosto per quella “cultura della mobilità”, sia geografica che sociale, strettamente connaturata alle loro attività originarie di naviganti e commercianti. E in effetti il commercio, esercitato anche in imprese di modeste o modestissime dimensioni, costitui…
Physical Agent Modalities in Early Osteoarthritis: A Scoping Review
2021
Early osteoarthritis (EOA) still represents a challenge for clinicians. Although there is no consensus on its definition and diagnosis, a prompt therapeutic intervention in the early stages can have a significant impact on function and quality of life. Exercise remains a core treatment for EOA; however, several physical modalities are commonly used in this population. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of physical agents in the treatment of EOA. A technical expert panel (TEP) of 8 medical specialists with expertise in physical agent modalities and musculoskeletal conditions performed the review following the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and …
Modalitātes izteikšanas līdzekļi Latvijas Valsts prezidentu runās (1999–2014)
2015
Maģistra darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādi modalitātes izteikšanas līdzekļi sastopami Latvijas Republikas prezidentu runās no 1999. gada līdz 2014. gadam un kādu modalitāti tie pauž. Lai sasniegtu šo mērķi, darbā apzināta teorētiskā literatūra par modalitāti un tās izteikšanas līdzekļiem un atlasītas Latvijas Republikas prezidentu runas no 1999. gada līdz 2014. gadam, un analizēti tajās sastopamie modalitātes izteikšanas līdzekļi. Rezultātā Latvijas Republikas prezidentu runās (1999–2014) tika reģistrēti šādi epistēmiskās un deontiskās modalitātes izteikšanas līdzekļi: darbības vārda izteiksmes, modālas nozīmes darbības vārdi jeb modificētāji, citi darbības vārdi modificētāja funkcijā, modāl…
Planting in the pandemic : surveillance on social media
2023
This article looks at interest-driven and informal social media practices that have flourished in the pandemic period and its ensuing renaissance of domesticity. It investigates how tending plants and discussing them on social media serve as a particular site for connecting around loving and taking care of plants. Its focus is on the discursive means with which posters – guided by social media algorithms – rhetorically co-construct a morally acceptable version of a pandemic lifestyle around houseplants. More specifically, drawing on multimodal discourse studies, critical sociolinguistics and work on digital surveillance, it investigates how members of a Finland-based social media site obser…
Multi-modality of polysomnography signals’ fusion for automatic sleep scoring
2019
Objective: The study aims to develop an automatic sleep scoring method by fusing different polysomnography (PSG) signals and further to investigate PSG signals’ contribution to the scoring result. Methods: Eight combinations of four modalities of PSG signals, namely electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculogram (EOG), electromyogram (EMG), and electrocardiogram (ECG) were considered to find the optimal fusion of PSG signals. A total of 232 features, covering statistical characters, frequency characters, time-frequency characters, fractal characters, entropy characters and nonlinear characters, were derived from these PSG signals. To select the optimal features for each signal fusion, four wi…
Le prince, l'argent, les hommes au Moyen Age.
2008
L'impôt, sa conception, son emploi, les fluctuations de la monnaie dessinent un premier axe de ce livre : l'histoire des finances. Cependant, sans les hommes qui les animent, les institutions ne seraient rien : la connaissance des hommes, de leur culture, de leur mode de vie, devient le prolongement naturel du dévoilement des mécanismes fiscaux. La construction d'un état princier suppose aussi une idéologie qui le légitime. Le recours au passé se révèle essentiel pour l'illustrer : l'historiographie modèle le destin des principautés émergentes dans les décennies marquées par la guerre de Cent Ans.
A time estimation task as a possible measure of emotions: difference depending on the nature of the stimulus used
2015
Objective: Time perception is fundamental for human experience. A topic which has attracted the attention of researchers for long time is how the stimulus sensory modality (e.g., images vs. sounds) affects time judgments. However, so far, no study has directly compared the effect of two sensory modalities using emotional stimuli on time judgments. Methods: In the present two studies, healthy participants were asked to estimate the duration of a pure sound preceded by the presentation of odors vs. emotional videos as priming stimuli (implicit emotion-eliciting task). During the task, skin conductance (SC) was measured as an index of arousal. Results: Olfactory stimuli resulted in an increase…
Spaces of transit intermodality in Manila, Philippines
2013
International audience; Public transportation in the Philippines' capital Manila takes different forms : elevated subway (LRT and MRT systems) and ground transportation (provincial and local buses, jeepneys, trisikel and pedicabs, taxis). This presentation, based on field work in February, April and December 2012, will examine the characteristics of transfer/connecting areas between different modes of transportation (such as LRT to jeepneys, LRT to MRT, ...) in several locations of the Manila metropolitan area, in order to determine some of the problems making transfer difficult, but also the commercial activity generated by heavy pedestrian and passenger traffic in and around the transit c…
