Stories of professional development in physiotherapy education
2021
This study examines graduating physiotherapy students' narratives related to their professional development. The data comprised interviews with 33 graduating physiotherapy students. The data were analyzed using the narrative analysis approach. As a result, five different story models were identified. The descriptive story models were named: 1) "Study path dominated by life changes"; 2) "Realizing the connection between physiotherapy theory and practice"; 3) "Self-regulated and practical-oriented learning path"; 4) "Becoming a critical developer"; and 5) "Multiprofessional working towards expertise". In students' stories, there appeared different turning points that illustrated especially me…
Environmental Barriers and Facilitators to Physical Activity among University Students with Physical Disability—A Qualitative Study in Spain
2021
This paper qualitatively examines environmental factors operating as barriers and/or facilitators to participation in physical activity (PA) of people with physical disabilities. Interview data were collected from 27 Spanish university students through the innovative method of two-on-one interviews. Thereafter, data were subject to a flexible thematic analysis. Three themes were constructed: associations
Making Telescopes and Partying with the Stars: Amateur Astronomy in Spain during Franco’s Dictatorship
2016
Franco’s dictatorship was characterized by an official narrative that criminalized the liberal tradition of previous periods. Such a discourse defined an ideologically correct science that censured the subordination of Spanish science to foreign influence and sought to create a new scientific tradition. However, recent studies have revised these aims and suggest that there was a continuity of scientific and technological programmes and practices before and after the Spanish Civil War. This paper contributes to these investigations with further evidence, focusing on several practices that characterized the development of amateur astronomy during this period. Special attention is paid to the…
Themes of nanoscience for the introductory physics course
2009
We present three experimental themes and one discussion theme that proved to be suitable for introducing nanoscience through topics that can be integrated into the existing introductory physics or teacher training courses. The experimental themes include two teaching models of an atomic force microscope (AFM) and an experiment with an elastic optical grating. They are all based on simple experiments that give also quantitative results and can be explained using basic physics theory.
Listening to the Literary: On the Novelistic Poetics of the Podcast
2020
In comparing the 300-year-old form of the novel and the more recent one of the podcast, Patrick Gill contends that there are indeed parallels between the two. In concentrating on the central ideas of scope, focus, affect, and narration, the essay argues that both the novel and the podcast exploit similar affordances to make their consumers feel actively engaged and emotionally involved in the media experience. Gill then analyses in how far the emphasis placed on these parallels by cultural commentators and podcast producers alike is due to essential similarities and in how far it derives from a desire to use the idea of the novel as a shorthand for an artefact that is somehow deemed more va…
La leyenda troyana en la Antigüedad Tardía. Una aproximación a los poemas de Dioscoro de Afrodito = The Trojan Legend in Late Antiquity. An Approach …
2017
La leyenda troyana se configura como relato literario a lo largo de la Antigüedad expandiendo y modificando los diferentes episodios que la componen. El estudio de la utilización de la leyenda en los poemas conservados del puño y letra de Dioscoro de Afrodito, autor del siglo VI, nos permiten aproximarnos a la evolución y configuración del canon troyano, así como a las obras clásicas todavía disponibles en su época y al resto de fuentes que le sirvieron como modelo para sus composiciones.The Trojan legend becomes a literary narrative throughout Antiquity expanding and modifying its different episodes. The study of this legend in Dioscorus of Aphrodito’s autograph poems (from 6th century BC)…

The Third Meaning Squared. Kinekphrasis in Contemporary Finnish Poetry
 In this article I develop the concept of kinekphrasis to designate a particular form of intermediality, speci cally, the verbal representation of cinema or other form of moving image. Kinekphrasis builds upon ekphrasis, the classical rhetorical term that today generally refers to texts about static artworks, such as paintings and statues. Representing the medial complex of cinema, however, sets a distinct sensorial and semiotic challenge to a text and brings about a form of intermediality di erent from the traditional ekphrasis. I exemplify kinekphrasis with a reading of contemporary Finnish poetry, namely, individ…
Off-Modern Hybridity in TV Theatre: Theatrical, Cinematic and Media Temporalities in Rupert Goold’s Macbeth (BBC - Illuminations Media, 2010)
2021
Rupert Goold’s screen production of Macbeth – firstly, staged in 2007 and, later, filmed in 2010 – has been studied as an example of the stage-to-screen hybrid corpus of Shakespearean audio-visual adaptations. Thus, much of the critical emphasis on the production has been placed on its filmic qualities. Particularly, the genre film conventions deployed across the film has summoned the attention of Shakespeare on screen scholars and it has been the creators’ intentions to precisely point at Goold’s filmic intertextual repertoire. Given the recent increasing attention to the multiple media and languages employed in stage-to-screen hybrid Shakespearean adaptations and other exchanges between t…
Maps in picturebooks: cognitive status and narrative functions
2015
This article focuses on the relation between maps, mental representations, description, and narration in picturebooks. It is shown that maps are cognitively demanding, since they presuppose the development of cognitive abilities and the comprehension of complex visual codes, including recognition of the specific combination of signs and names representing land- and cityscapes, geographical abstraction as well as the symbolization, highlighting, and suppression of information. After a survey of findings from cognitive psychology and geography literacy about children’s map acquisition, the article gives an overview on some types of maps in picturebooks that are interesting from a narrative po…
