El foro.com: encuentros y desencuentros en el "coliseo ideológico"
2014
This paper focuses on the study of the virtual identity of Internet users in discussion forums and, specifically, their discursive identity. After a brief introduction to the concept of virtual identity, I analyze the basic characteristics of such forums, conceived as a place of dialectic, polyphonic and multidiscoursive communication. In the second part, I examine locutors’ discursive behavior in ideological argumentative discourse. First, I look at the image that the Internet user offers through its argumentative posts and how it is perceived by the virtual community. Next I analyze the argumentative strategies employed by locutors in “El foro de religión”, focusing my attention on those …
Vīriešu iesaistīšanās Forums Celies aktivitātēs: vīrišķības analīze
2021
Bakalaura darbā "Vīriešu iesaistīšanās “Forums Celies” aktivitātēs: vīrišķības analīze" es apskatu iemeslus, kādēļ vīrieši iesaistās dzimtes jautājumu aktualizēšanā, ja vīrieši kā grupa un/ vai viņu īstenotā vīrišķība tiek skatīta kā problemātika. Lietojot teoriju par vīrišķībām un dzimtes kārtības varas attiecībām, analizēju daļēji strukturētās intervijās un līdzdalīgajā novērojumā iegūtus datus par to, kā iniciatīvas "Forums Celies" dalībnieki pieredz pastāvošo dzimtes kārtību un savu lomu tās izmaiņā. Darbā secinu, ka dalībnieku praktizētajai “veselīgajai vīrišķībai” ir hibrīdisks, ambivalents raksturs – tā ir viņiem pašiem un citiem palīdzoša un vienlaicīgi arī pastāvošo varas attiecību…
TripAdvisor's what to do in...forums. How to exchange opinions and advise through interpersonality
2013
Esta comunicación se propone mostrar el análisis realizado desde el punto de vista del metadiscurso interpersonal en un corpus del género de internet Traveler Forums (Foros de Viajeros), extraidos del portal TripAdvisor en 2012. Es parte del proyecto de I+D sobre géneros del turismo del corpus COMETVAL (IULMA, Universitat de València), en inglés. En el foro de viajeros, autor y lector intercambian los roles con objeto de expresar opiniones y proporcionar información fiable y genuina. La metodología utilizada parte del concepto de metadiscurso interpersonal (Vande Kopple 1983; Crismore et al. 1993; Hyland y Tse 2004) y también del concepto de voz (voice) de White (2003) y Hyland (2008) según…
The People’s Assembly: Testing the Collaborative (e)-Democracy
2020
This paper aims to critically analyse the Estonian People’s Assembly (EPA), a crowdsourcing initiative carried out from 2013 to 2014. During the project, citizens could participate in decision-making and make proposals for laws and policies on a dedicated web-platform. Additionally, some people were invited for a traditional off-line debate. In that way, the project combined virtual communication tools with traditional discussion to apply the principles of collaborative e-democracy, in which governmental stakeholders and non-governmental stakeholders (such as local communities) join in a deliberative debate. The purpose of this paper is to observe, both, gains and problems of this crowdsour…
China's rhetoric and soft power towards the Portuguese-speaking countries : the case of Angola
2014
The thesis analyses China’s foreign policy towards the Portuguese-speaking countries, particularly the case of Angola. The People’s Republic of China has been putting great emphasis on the relations with other developing countries. The eight Portuguese-speaking countries, Angola, Brazil, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe and Timor-Leste constitute a group with a population of around 250 million people, a vast wealth of natural resources and potential for gaining economic and political importance in the near future. The way China frames its rhetorical communication and establishes relationships must be understood to provide a perspective on its foreign po…
Homot ja heterot Suomi24:ssä: analyysi digitaalisista diskursseista
2018
Artikkelissani tarkastelen Suomi24-keskustelupalstan homouteen ja heterouteen liittyviä toistuvia diskursseja. Analyysi on toteutettu korpusavusteisena diskurssintutkimuksena (CADS), jossa suureen dataan perustuva tilastollinen avainsana-analyysi nostaa esiin suomalaisen yhteiskunnan sosiaalisesti jaetut diskurssit. Tulokset yhtäältä tukevat aiempia media-analyyseissä tehtyjä havaintoja voimakkaista affekteista ja vihapuheesta sekä homoseksuaalisuuden politisoitumisesta ja uskonnollistumisesta. Toisaalta se myös paljastaa homodiskurssien henkilöitymisen tai liittymisen tiettyihin henkilöryhmiin ja paikkoihin. Heterodiskurssit puolestaan eroavat selvästi homodiskursseista: niille on tyypilli…
Commenting on poverty online : A corpus-assisted discourse study of the Suomi24 forum
2020
This paper brings new insight to poverty and social exclusion through an analysis of how poverty-related issues are commented on in the largest online discussion forum in Finland: Suomi24 (‘Finland24’). For data, we use 32,407 posts published in the forum in 2014 that contain the word köyhä (‘poor’) or a predefined semantically similar word. We apply the Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS) method, which combines quantitative methods and qualitative discourse analysis. This methodological solution allows us to analyse both large-scale tendencies and detailed expressions and nuances on how poverty is discussed. The quantitative analysis is conducted with topic modelling, an unsupervised …
Online authority communication during an epidemic : A Finnish example
2011
Social media is creating new challenges for authority communications during crises, such as a pandemic. This study examined Finnish citizens’ opinions about authorities as crisis managers during the swine flu epidemic of 2009-2010 and examined the success of authority intervention to online discussion forums. Through a content analysis carried out at the discussion forums, the study showed that though authorities are highly trusted in general in Finland, this trust is not extended to the online environment. Online, civilians did not trust authorities and the protective actions taken. Moreover, the authorities’ intervention to the discussion forums aimed at correcting false information and s…

Thrombosis and thromboembolism related to COVID‐19: A clarion call for obtaining solid estimates from large‐scale multicenter data
2020
Abstract The clinical spectrum of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is wide, ranging from minor, nonspecific symptoms to severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, multiorgan involvement, and shock. In severe cases, the acute systemic inflammatory response, coagulation activation, and diffuse endothelial damage may, in combination with hypoxia, immobilization, and underlying risk factors, result in potentially life‐threatening venous and arterial thrombotic events. The first data from single‐center retrospective studies suggest that thrombotic events are a key aspect of COVID‐19‐associated morbidity and mortality. We have planned and will be launching the COvid REgistry on THR…
