Davvisámegiela máŋggaidlogu illatiivva variašuvdna Ohcejoga guovllus
No full textIn this article, I study variation and language change in the illative plural in spoken North Saami in the Ohcejohka municipality. Major societal changes took place in the 20th century and with this study, I shed light on how these changes have affected the Saami language. In the modern grammar, the illative plural is the only case that has multiple endings. The case ending of nouns with an odd number of syllables in the stem is -idda, whereas elsewhere the ending is -ide. Variation in the ending is also heard in spoken language, especially in the inflection of nouns with stems having an even number of syllables or contracted stems.
I have gathered my material from the collections of the Sámi Cultural Archive and the TKU collections of the University of Turku, Yle Sámi’s radio interviews, and some of the material I have gathered from interviews. I have used the realtime method to analyze the material.
In interviews with the oldest consultants, there are four different case endings (-idi, -ide, -idda, and -idiidda) that are used roughly equally. In the middle of the twentieth century, major changes took place, such as the evacuation period, reconstruction, housing in dormitories, and the relocation of Finns to the area. For consultants born at this time, two variants (-idi and -idiidda) disappear, and the use of the -idda ending with nouns having an odd number of syllables becomes more common. Since the 1970s, the situation of the Saami languages began to improve and, among other things, Saami began to be taught in schools. These changes have not returned the lost variants of the illative plural; instead the orthographic -ide form is becoming more common in the speech of the Saami of the younger generation.Dán čállosa fáddán lea máŋggaidlogu illatiivva variašuvdna ja nuppástuvvan Ohcejoga guovllu hállojuvvon davvisámegielas. 1900-logus leat dáhpáhuvvan stuorra servodatlaš nuppástusat ja dáinna dutkamiin čielggadan mo dat leat váikkuhan sámegillii.

Grøntproduksjon i nord
No full textTil tross for den korte vekstsesongen i Nord-Norge er det lange tradisjoner for produksjon av både poteter og flere av våre velkjente grønnsaks- og bærarter. Forskere på Holt i Tromsø har blant annet undersøkt hvilke sorter som egner seg for dyrking i nord og den særegne nordnorske kvaliteten. De siste årene har bærekraft i grøntproduksjonen også fått økt oppmerksomhet

The second language development of past perfective forms in Spanish
No full textResearch studies on second language (L2) morphosyntactic variation that include multiple learner course or experience levels often conduct separate statistical analyses of the factors affecting variation, one per learner level, and compare significant constraints and their coefficients across these groups as an indication of L2 development. This method of comparing across multiple regression analyses can lead to the perception of differences across participant groups that may not be statistically significant. Thus, the current study reanalyzes the data from Author (forthcoming), who investigated the development of past perfective form variation by 105 English-speaking L2 learners of Spanish from six course levels. Participants selected between the preterit and PP on a written contextualized task, in which 32 discursive contexts in a narrative were manipulated for four linguistic variables known to affect preterit-PP variation in the Spanish-speaking world: time of action, verb lexical aspect, sequencing, and presence of a temporal adverb. In our analysis, we combined the data from the six distinct Spanish L2 course levels into one model, and included an interaction between course level and each of the linguistic constraints manipulated in the task. We then compared our findings to Author (forthcoming) who conducted separate regression analyses for each course level. Findings indicate that only time of action and sequencing demonstrated significantly different effects across course levels, and that separate regression analyses across learner levels may lead to an overestimation of differences among these levels. En los estudios sobre la variación morfosintac´tica en segundas lenguas (L2s), típicamente se comparan los diferentes niveles de aprendices mediante análisis estadísticos separados, uno por nivel de aprendiz, y se comparan los factores significativos como indicador del desarrollo en la L2. Este método de comparación puede llevar a una percepción de más diferencias entre los grupos de aprendices de lo que realmente hay. De este modo, el presente estudio reanalizar los datos de Autor (de próxima publicación), quienes investigaron el desarrollo del pretérito perfecto simple (PPS) y el pretérito perfecto compuesto (PPC) en el español de 105 aprendices angloparlantes en seis niveles de curso español. Los participantes eligieron entre las dos formas en una tarea escrita contextualizada, en que se insertaron 32 contextos discursivos en una narrativa que fueron manipulados por cuatro variables: tiempo de acción, aspecto léxico verbal, secuenciación y presencia de un marcador temporal. En nuestro análisis, se combinaron los datos de los seis cursos de español en un modelo estadístico y se incluyó una interacción entre el nivel de curso y cada uno de los factores lingüísticos manipulados en la tarea. A continuación, se compararon los resultados de nuestro análisis con Autor (de próxima publicación), quienes realizaron análisis estadísticos separados para cada nivel de curso. Los resultados indicaron que sólo los factores de tiempo de acción y secuenciación demonstraron diferencias significativas (p<.05) entre los distintos grupos de aprendices, sugieriendo que el uso de análisis separados puede sobreestimar las diferencias entre los niveles. 
\u27Drink for thought\u27: Anglicismos en el campo de la bebida en la prensa digital española
No full textEl presente artículo examina la presencia de anglicismos en el campo de la bebida en el español. A partir del análisis de 22 medios digitales a través de la herramienta “Observatorio Lázaro” se ha procedido a la compilación de una muestra de setenta y ocho unidades léxicas anglicadas no adaptadas. Los términos extraídos hacen referencia a numerosos tipos de bebida alcohólicas, de los cuales muchos ya cuentan con equivalentes en español, mientras que otros de los vocablos aluden a nuevos conceptos que no cuentan con una palabra en español dada su novedad. Otros aspectos como la variedad y frecuencia de uso, la inclusión en varios diccionarios de referencia así como las funciones pragmáticas de estos anglicismos son analizados
The many paths for an open, participatory, and inclusive science
No full textWatch VIDEO.
Societies are facing unprecedented challenges due to human-induced climate change. In order to understand, cope with and halt global warming, we need to understand the science behind its causes and impacts and to identify reliable sources of information. Science and scientists play a crucial role in this process and are called to the forefront of new relational practices for engaging the public and helping citizens develop scientific competences to participate in contemporary societies. Empowering individuals with sustainable-oriented knowledge, skills and values is vital for an active citizenship towards sustainability. Moreover, promoting dialogic channels between science and society encourages a more critical view of current challenges and science-oriented attitudes. Participatory methodologies can play an essential role in this context as they entail the inclusion of citizens in research and/or knowledge production and a closer contact with local and global realities. I will discuss different paths taken in national and international research projects to promote the inclusion of citizens in science. I will focus on two examples. One related to how citizen science can be used in educational contexts to reconfigure schools as collaborative ecosystems, part of a network that connects teachers, students, and scientists, who share the responsibility to identify problems, think about possible solutions, reflect on existing knowledge, collect new evidence, and integrate different perspectives. Results show positive impacts on a personal and academic level, with participants declaring higher self-esteem and a deeper understanding of the scientific process and social and environmental issues. A second example concerns dialogical and arts-based strategies to include academic, political, and activist stakeholders in the public debate on the opportunities and challenges of biotechnology. These strategies are framed within a concept of engaged citizen social science, considering that engagement with science should be bidirectional, where both scientists and the public are committed to establishing an effective dialogue between different forms of knowledge to co-create new meanings and impacts for project outcomes. It is also rooted in interdisciplinary dialogues through interaction between the disciplinary fields of the partners and the individuals involved in the social dialogue to create a shared vocabulary and contribute to a transformative impact of the project on social realities. The planned art-based approaches to science will help facilitate participation through more dynamic, creative, and meaningful engagement and greater understanding of different worldviews, thoughts, and understandings. Preliminary results suggest a greater awareness of the different dimensions related to the development and (unanticipated) impacts of new technology by the scientists and the artists involved in this co-creation process
Gender Disparity in Editorial Boards of Lithuanian Scientific Journals: An Overview of Different Science Disciplines
No full textEditors-in-chief and members of editorial boards of scientific journals play an extremely important role in the development of science and assure research integrity, as scientific publications are the major results of research. While gender parity in tenure-track hiring decisions and promotion rates has improved, female academics remain underrepresented in senior career phases, including editors-in-chief and members of editorial boards positions of scientific journals. Journal editors and members of editorial boards exert considerable power over what is published and in certain cases the direction of an academic discipline and the career advancement of authors. For this reason it is important to minimize biases extrinsic to the merit of the work impacting publication decisions. One way to achieve this is to ensure a diverse pool of editors and members of editorial boards, ensuring the widest possible coverage of different competencies. This is in line with a diversity model of editorial appointment where editorial boards are structured to dismantle wider conditions of inequality. Another possible option, a distributive model would seek an editorial board reflective of existing proportions in the field at large.
The poster presents comprehensive results of a study of Lithuanian scientific journals. During the research process publicly available information from all scientific journals published in Lithuania was reviewed, to infer the proportions of members of editorial boards by gender. The results of the study revealed differences the proportions of male and female members of editorial boards in different disciplines of science
The role of global open data infrastructure in a changing policy, technology, and research environment
No full textWatch VIDEO.
The proliferation of open data sharing policies (such as the wide-reaching NIH policy and Nelson Memo in the United States) reflect a growing push for greater collaboration, transparency, and accountability in scientific research. They assert that the open sharing of data underpinning research is essential to achieving the benefits of open science, that researchers and the general public have a right to access that data, and that the value of shared data lies in its (re)usability.
As the scientific community rallies to meet these new requirements, research data infrastructures like Dryad, an open data publishing platform and community, face myriad opportunities and challenges.
In this talk, the presenters will
summarize the impact that new policies, evolving researcher and institutional needs, coordinated support for open infrastructure, and other changes in the landscape are having on the Open Data movement and those that support it;
provide insight into Dryad’s experience addressing challenges like increasing file size and complexity, and simplifying data deposition workflows;
explore the opportunities and challenges presented by emerging new technologies such as machine learning, automation, and distributed data storage;
outline the ongoing relevance of non-specialist data infrastructures in the rapidly evolving research landscape, and how their role will have to change through collaboration and partnerships
Designing an infrastructural service to bridging the open science ecosystem and society: The examples of the COESO project and the VERA hub
No full textWatch VIDEO.
The presentation will be centred around lessons learned and experiences from the European project COESO, a double-layer research project providing a framework in support of collaborative engagement on societal issues. COESO supports ten citizen science pilots implementing a participatory approach in several European countries: small scale and high intensity collaborations, starting with the problem formulation and extending through the common analysis. The pilots include contributions from different disciplines of the social sciences and the humanities (history, philosophy, political science, sociology and anthropology) and involve artists, journalists, associative members, local authorities. The support provided to the pilots includes mutual learning sessions and accompaniment in the use of a research blogging platform: not only to share the projects’ results, but also to enhance the teams’ co-research activity. Furthermore, the COESO project develops a Virtual Ecosystem for Research Activation (the VERA platform), conceived as a "collaboratory", a common digital framework supporting the projects’ teams in finding partners, managing their project and finding funding. VERA is included among the "Research for Society" services of the OPERAS research infrastructure, whose mission is to support scholarly communication in the social sciences and the humanities (SSH) across Europe.
In the effort to build a sustainable framework to support participatory research in the SSH through a digital platform, the COESO project journey provided insights on the challenges and opportunities of participatory research with and within the SSH, including how a research infrastructure can effectively design a service to foster community engagement, bridging different research practices and systems of knowledge (ensemble of practices, methodologies, vocabularies, concepts, outputs), supporting innovation in output formats and setting the premise of an enhanced network of research data linking.
Participatory research and citizen science practices are research approaches that challenge the prevailing research processes, and potentially lead to innovative practices that allow for new bridges between knowledge systems and infrastructures. The presentation will highlight two innovative digital formats explored by two COESO pilots to render their research: (1) a multimodal website proposing an interactive map that guides visitors from the broader public to explore the research findings, which were accomplished through a plurality of participatory research approaches. It also includes the "data" behind: the website spatializes a set of materials: interviews, archives, focus groups, and portraits are displayed in a geographical space, and (2) the digital tool, Memorekall, which starts from a video recording to develop a multi-document (including notes, documents, audio, or web links) to record and document the creative process
