Building a political image on Instagram: A study of the personal profile of Santiago Abascal (Vox) in 2018
2020
Due to Instagram’s growing popularity in Spain, politicians have also begun to turn to this social network increasingly more. Accordingly, this paper analyses the visual and textual discourse of 259 posts published throughout 2018 on the personal Instagram profile of Santiago Abascal, the leader of the party Vox. Insofar as he is the Spanish politician with the highest number of followers on Instagram, the aim here is to analyse how he uses this social network in order to identify possible strategies that justify his growing number of followers. In the analysis, special attention was paid to aspects that might have contributed to the (self)presentation of Abascal and the promotion of his pa…
AnatomySketch : An Extensible Open-Source Software Platform for Medical Image Analysis Algorithm Development
2021
AbstractThe development of medical image analysis algorithm is a complex process including the multiple sub-steps of model training, data visualization, human–computer interaction and graphical user interface (GUI) construction. To accelerate the development process, algorithm developers need a software tool to assist with all the sub-steps so that they can focus on the core function implementation. Especially, for the development of deep learning (DL) algorithms, a software tool supporting training data annotation and GUI construction is highly desired. In this work, we constructed AnatomySketch, an extensible open-source software platform with a friendly GUI and a flexible plugin interfac…
Relations between representational consistency, conceptual understanding of the force concept, and scientific reasoning
2012
Previous physics education research has raised the question of “hidden variables” behind students’ success in learning certain concepts. In the context of the force concept, it has been suggested that students’ reasoning ability is one such variable. Strong positive correlations between students’ preinstruction scores for reasoning ability (measured by Lawson’s Classroom Test of Scientific Reasoning) and their learning of forces [measured by the Force Concept Inventory (FCI)] have been reported in high school and university introductory courses. However, there is no published research concerning the relation between students’ ability to interpret multiple representations consistently (i.e.,…
Highly sensitive olfactory biosensors for the detection of volatile organic compounds by surface plasmon resonance imaging
2018
International audience; Nowadays, monitoring of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is very important in various domains. In this work, we aimed to develop sensitive olfactory biosensors using odorant binding proteins (OBPs) as sensing materials. Three rat OBP3 derivatives with customized binding properties were designed and immobilized on the same chip for the detection of VOCs in solution by surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi). We demonstrated that the proteins kept their binding properties after the immobilization under optimized conditions. The obtained olfactory biosensors exhibited very low limits of detection in both concentration (200pM of beta-ionone) and in molecular weight of …
Skolēnu personības pozīcijas veidošanās volejbola sacensībās
2016
Diplomdarba tēma ir ”Skolēnu personības pozīciju veidošanās volejbola sacensībās.” Diplomdarba mērķis ir izpētīt kā veidojas skolēnu personības pozīcija volejbola sacensībās. Katram pedagogam gan sporta stundās, gan volejbola treniņos jāsaskaras ar dažādiem skolēnu personības tipiem. Tas ietekmē saskarsmi ar skolēniem un darba kvalitāti. Teorētiskajā daļā tiek izpētīta zinātniskā literatūra par personības jēdzienu, struktūru, attīstības faktoriem un likumsakarībām, attieksmi un pozīciju, vecumposma fizioloģiskām īpatnībām. Pētījuma daļā tiek izstrādātas intervijas un aptaujas. Iegūtie rezultāti pētījuma beigās rāda kā volejbolu sacensību ietekmē veidojas skolēnu personības pozīcija pret māc…
Maltrato y enfermedad mental. Estudio de personas con enfermedad mental, víctimas de maltrato
2011
Se realiza un trabajo de investigación sobre la victimización de personas con enfermedad mental, desde la perspectiva de que este colectivo es con frecuencia víctima de maltrato, a pesar de los prejuicios y el estigma que pende sobre él. Dada su especial vulnerabilidad social, los y las profesionales que atienden a esta población tienen la responsabilidad de visibilizar este fenómeno, y validar los instrumentos de diagnóstico que utilizan como útiles para detectar maltrato. The thesis involved research on the victimization of people with mental illness from the angle of this group often being the victim of abuse, despite the prejudice and stigma that hangs over it. Given its special social …
Focusing on Workplace Communication
2019
Communication has a constitutive role in the workplace; in workplace communication the organization comes into being. In workplace communication workers create and negotiate meanings and a shared understanding of important work-related issues. Communication is also essential for a functional working environment. Especially in knowledge-based work members of the workplace aim at success, efficiency, and productivity by discussing, conversing, debating, and providing and receiving feedback. Hence, when striving to establish a healthy workplace with high levels of satisfaction and well-being, one has to understand the dynamics of workplace communication. This chapter examines interpersonal com…
Qualitative case study of Congolese children's current friendships in Finland and past experiences as refugees in Rwanda, 1996-2012
2013
Tutkijat ovat osoittaneet, että sosiaalisen tuen sekä vuorovaikutus- ja vertaissuhteiden merkityksestä sodasta kärsineiden lasten elämässä tarvitaan lisätutkimusta. Oheinen kvalitatiivinen tapaustutkimus pienentää tätä puutetta aiemmassa tutkimuksessa tarjoamalla lisätietoa kongolaisten pakolaislasten interpersoonallisista vuorovaikutussuhteista ystävien kanssa Suomeen muuton jälkeisessä tilanteessa. Katsottaessa identiteettien muodostusta ja kulttuurien luomista ilmiöinä, näiden neuvottelujen nähdään tapahtuvan ihmisten välisessä vuorovaikutuksessa. Tästä näkökulmasta katsottuna oheinen poikkitieteellinen tutkimus ottaa huomioon myös näiden neuvotteluiden historiallisen kontekstin. Monimut…

Examining the Impact of eWOM-triggered Customer-to-Customer Interactions on Travelers’ Repurchase and Social Media Engagement
2021
Electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) communication on social media has revolutionized how travelers search for and share information and how they interact with one another digitally. This research examines the effects of eWOM-triggered customer-to-customer (C2C) interactions on travelers’ post-eWOM behaviors (i.e., repurchase and customer engagement) in a cross-cultural context. Drawing upon cognitive dissonance theory, a scenario-based experiment was conducted using a sample of 461 African tourists with recent intracontinental travel experience. Our findings suggest that a customer’s repurchase intention and engagement in social media C2C interactions are significantly influenced when their eWO…
