SMS Messages in a Daily Finnish Newspaper : The Contect of Proverb Performances
2017
The article focuses on Finnish proverbs as a part of contemporary colloquial written language in everyday use and context. The article offers a view on what is happening with proverbs in the vernacular in Finnish everyday life. Most traditional Finnish proverbs originate from an agrarian context and still use agrarian language, even if nowadays they live in a new context with a new meaning. As empirical material this article uses a special case that demonstrates the use of proverbs in one Finnish newspaper: proverbs in SMS messages published as a letter to the editor in a newspaper. *** Avtorica se osredinja na finske pregovore kot del sodobnega pogovornega pisnega jezika v vsakdanji rabi i…
‘Our words are stronger’ : re-enforcing boundaries through ritual work in a terrorist news event
2020
This article investigates the ritual work in terrorist news events, using the Berlin truck attack as a case in point. The article connects with the larger cluster of anthropologically inspired communication research on media events as public rituals in news media and applies digital media ethnography as its method. Fieldwork is conducted in 15 online news sites. The article identifies three key phases through which the ritual work was carried out: the rupture in the news event (ritualised as the strike), the liminal phase (ritualised as the manhunt) and the reconstitution of order following the attack (ritualised as the mourning). The article concludes with an interpretation of the broader …
Rhetoric of academic applications : Perspectives from Quentin Skinner’s Forensic Shakespeare
2019
The tools of classical and Renaissance rhetoric that Quentin Skinner uses in his Forensic Shakespeare (2014) are here applied to a contemporary context. Skinner’s discussion might have a fairly direct value for a genre of writing that most academics today must master, namely the rhetoric of applications. They have been seldom discussed from a rhetorical perspective, although knowledge of rhetoric is highly valuable for applicants, evaluators and those deciding between applications. Skinner’s book contains both advices for applicants and discussions on both the criteria of application and the possibilities of their revisions in case of innovative applications. peerReviewed
Multimodal accomplishment of alignment and affiliation in the local space of distant meetings
2017
Technology-mediated (i.e. distant) meetings are complex settings that involve distributed participation frameworks and the coordination of actions in multiple interactional spaces. This paper examines how problems with hearing, speaking, or understanding in the overall meeting space enable the negotiation of alignment and affiliation by co-present participants in the same local meeting space. Conversation analysis is used to investigate the local accomplishment of alignment and affiliation achieved through the sequential and temporal organization of verbal, embodied, and material resources of interaction in three types of situations: during technological trouble, silences, and disagreements…
‘I shared the joy’: sport-related social support and communality on Instagram
2020
The popularity of sharing photographs on digital platforms has increased significantly due to the communicative affordances of mobile media and the emergence of photo-sharing applications, such as Instagram. In this paper, we examine how social support and communality can be built and reinforced through digital visual communication. We focus especially on photo sharing in the context of recreational climbing and trail running. In a qualitative study with Finnish climbers and runners, we asked what meanings sports practitioners ascribe to the practice of sharing and observed how they communicate these meanings through photographs. The results indicate that different types of visual content b…
Structure of SNX9 SH3 in complex with a viral ligand reveals the molecular basis of its unique specificity for alanine-containing class I SH3 motifs
2021
Class I SH3 domain-binding motifs generally comply with the consensus sequence [R/K]x0PxxP, the hydrophobic residue 0 being proline or leucine. We have studied the unusual 0 = Ala-specificity of SNX9 SH3 by determining its complex structure with a peptide present in eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) nsP3. The structure revealed the length and composition of the n-Src loop as important factors determining specificity. We also compared the affinities of EEEV nsP3 peptide, its mutants, and cellular ligands to SNX9 SH3. These data suggest that nsP3 has evolved to minimize reduction of conformational entropy upon binding, hence acquiring stronger affinity, enabling takeover of SNX9. The R…
Social Media Monitoring for Crisis Communication: Process, Methods and Trends in the Scientific Literature
2014
This literature review study aims at clarifying current knowledge on social media monitoring from the perspective of organizational communication and public relations. It also contributes to crisis communication by shedding light on how fast developing social media discourse can be followed and analysed in order to understand citizens’ needs throughout all the phases of a crisis. The findings of this study reveal a number of insights in the scientific literature on the concept of monitoring, the monitoring process, methods, tools and solutions, methodological issues and trends covering the years 2009–2012. In the literature, social media monitoring is described as a process which comprises …

Digitālo platformu tirgus varas novērtēšana
2021
Ņemot vērā, ka Eiropas Savienības Digitālā vienotā tirgus mērķis ir stiprināt tās pozīciju digitālajā ekonomikā, ir jānodrošina konkurences tiesībām atbilstoša digitālo platformu darbība. Tirgus varas novērtēšana ir konkurences tiesību piemērošanas centrālais elements, līdz ar to ir nepieciešams tirgus varu novērtēt arī digitālajām platformām. Lai konkurences tiesību piemērošana būtu taisnīga, tirgus vara ir jānosaka, ņemot vērā digitālo platformu raksturojošās pazīmes. Maģistra darbā tiks skaidrotas digitālo platformu raksturojošās pazīmes, tirgus varas novērtēšana Eiropas Savienībā un faktori, kas ir jāņem vērā, vērtējot digitālo platformu tirgus varu. Maģistra darba mērķis ir noskaidrot …
Calculation of proton activity in aqueous protolyte solutions
1980
Abstract A general and thermodynamically exact equation for the calculation of the proton (hydroxide ion) activity of aqueous solutions of monoprotic acidic (and basic) species is given. Under certain conditions, various approximate equations can be derived from the exact form; the applicability of these depends mainly on both the thermodynamic equilibrium constant, K p , of the protolytic reaction, and the stoichiometric concentration, C o , of the protolyte. Taking into account the mean ionic activity coefficients which are calculated by means of the Davies equation, diagrams are constructed exhibiting those combinations of K p and C o for which the respective approximations can be applie…
