Transition from glass to digital slide microscopy in the teaching of oral pathology in a Brazilian dental school

2014

Objectives: Several medical and dental schools have described their experience in the transition from conventional to digital microscopy in the teaching of general pathology and histology disciplines; however, this transitional process has scarcely been reported in the teaching of oral pathology. Therefore, the objective of the current study is to report the transition from conventional glass slide to virtual microscopy in oral pathology teaching, a unique experience in Latin America. Study Design: An Aperio ScanScope® scanner was used to digitalize histological slides used in practical lectures of oral pathology. The challenges and benefits observed by the group of Professors from the Pira…

Potential Resistance of Employees to Change in the Transition to Industry 5.0

2021

The unprecedented evolution of the technological environment inevitably generates resistance to change in the population. The paper aims to detect these resistances in the conditions of a future transition to Industry 5.0. Firstly, we present the results of a bibliographic study of the specialized literature, in order to answer the dilemma of the existence or absence of the differences between the two concepts, that of Industry 4.0 and that of Industry 5.0. Secondly, the paper contains the results of an online survey based on a questionnaire conducted among employees in the central area of Romania. The research is related to the employees’ perception on the possible evolution of the economi…

Justice in transitions: Widening considerations of justice in dietary transition

2021

Just transition is gaining increasing attention. The need to consider social justice in sustainability transitions is finally being acknowledged. Research on this issue has, to date, mainly concentrated on energy systems. In this paper, we examine how the elaboration of dietary transition widens the spectrum of justice questions in sustainability transitions research. We explicate the arising normative questions along the dimensions of distributive, procedural and recognitive justice; widening the considerations further to restorative and cosmopolitan justice. Dietary transition widens the justice considerations to basic needs, food security and nutrition. By doing so, it evokes socio-cultu…

“I started reading even though I didn’t understand much”: The significance of reading and writing fanfiction in extra-curricular language learning

2018

Kouluajan ulkopuolella tapahtuu oppimista jatkuvasti, erityisesti englannin kielen suhteen. Lingua francana toimivalta englannin kieleltä on lähes mahdoton välttyä, koska se on osa monen jokapäiväistä elämää esimerkiksi eri medioiden kautta. Suurin osa tästä oppimisesta tapahtuu alitajuisesti, eikä henkilö tee tietoista valintaa oppia altistuessaan kielelle tavalla tai toisella. Lukemisen merkitys kielen oppimisessa on laajasti tutkittu aihe (ks. esim. Krashen, 1989; Krashen and Bland, 2014). Yleinen näkemys on, että kohdekielellä lukeminen tukee kielen oppimista. Lukeminen ei kuitenkaan tyypillisesti korostu opetussuunnitelmissa muita oppimismenetelmiä enemmän. Vieraan kielen oppimisessa m…

American family culture of the mid- 20th century : Gender roles, marriage and child-parent relationship as portrayed in fact and fiction

2009

 J.D. Salingerin romaania The Catcher in the Rye on kutsuttu amerikkalaiseksi klassikkoteokseksi. Sitä on opiskeltu kouluissa kautta Amerikan ja myös muualla maailmalla, mutta samalla myös haastettu oikeuteen ja estetty sen käyttö opetuksessa. Tätä ristiriitaista teosta ja sen kirjailijaa on tutkittu ja niistä on kirjoitettu paljon. Tässä tutkimuksessa mielenkiinnon kohteena oli romaanin välittämä kuva 1900-luvun puolivälin amerikkalaisesta perhekulttuurista, jota ei ilmeisesti juurikaan ole aiemmin tutkittu. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli ennen kaikkea selvittää kuinka romaani esittää sukupuoliroolit avioliiton sisällä, itse avioliittoinstituution sekä lasten ja vanhempien väliset suhteet t…

Writing Oneself into Someone Else’s Story – Experiments With Identity And Speculative Life Writing in Twilight Fan Fiction

2015

Fan fiction offers rich data to explore readers’ understanding of gendered discourses informing the narrative construction of fictional and real-life identities. This paper focuses on gender identity construction in self-insertion fan fiction texts – stories that involve avatars of fan writers – based on Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight novels. Self-insertion fan fiction stories can be considered a form of life writing where authors play with their identity in a virtual context in texts that mix documentary elements and fiction; a combination that is here termed as speculative life writing. While earlier studies have discussed self-insertion fan fiction as a potentially empowering form of resista…

Chi ha paura di Tony Soprano? Storie di mafia in tv, tra tradizione e innovazione

2015

nel più generale ambito degli studi sull’impatto delle rappresentazioni sociali nella costruzione di certi fenomeni (Moscovici 1984), la tesi che mi accingo a sostenere è che l’analisi delle fiction televisiva dedicata alla mafia può essere uno strumento molto utile per inquadrare il fenomeno «in una cornice che ne rispetti la complessità, evitando processi di enfatizzazione o di sottovalutazione della sua entità criminale e della sua pericolosità, non perdendo neanche di vista le stratificazioni retoriche che il tema possiede» (Dino 2009, p. 59). Questo inquadramento socio-culturologico può fornire importanti chiavi di lettura su come i discorsi dei media (nel nostro caso la fiction televi…

The representation of marginalized identities through language use : Study of Character Development in Ali Smith s Hotel World

2009

 Käsittelen tutkielmassani kielen keinoja marginalisoituneiden identiteettien representaatiossa. Käytän aineistonani fiktiivistä tekstiä, jonka avulla selvitän menetelmiä, joita kirjailijan on mahdollista hyödyntää identiteettien kielellisessä representaatiossa halutunlaisen kuvan aikaansaamiseksi. Olen erityisen kiin-nostunut marginalisoitumisesta yhteiskunnan sisällä ja valtakulttuurin keskusten läheisyydessä. Haluan tutkielmallani kiinnittää huomiota erilaisuuden kulttuuriin sidottuihin esittämistapoihin ja toivon tuovani alan tutkimukseen tuoretta näkökulmaa käsittelemällä sosiaalista marginalisoitumista fiktiivisen represen-taation kautta. Tutkielmani aineistona toimii Ali Smithin roma…
