Kielten oppiminen ja ekologinen kestävyys
No full textKestävää kehitystä ja siihen liittyviä taitoja on kannattavaa opettaa ensisijaisesti jokaisen oppijan ensikielellä ja liittää käsiteltävät aiheet heille tuttuun toimintaympäristöön. Muiden kielten oppimisen kautta aiheisiin saadaan uusia näkökulmia sekä kulttuurin että kielen ominaispiirteiden välityksellä. Kielitaito vahvistaa ekologisen kestävyyden aihepiirien ymmärtämistä, mutta toisaalta oman ensikielen kautta aiheet vaikuttavat lähestyttäviltä ja tärkeiltä. Kun ymmärtää elämää ylläpitävien ekosysteemien tärkeyden ja oppii ajattelemaan ihmistä laajemmin, elämäntapa voi muuttua kielen välityksellä kestäväksi. Tässä artikkelissa pohditaan kielten ja niiden oppimisen vaikutusta ekologisen kestävyyden edistämisessä.nonPeerReviewe

Get PDFWe studied 1) how pre-service language teachers reacted to the assumption that they should acknowledge sustainable development in language teaching, 2) what considerations they gave to sorting sustainability themes based on their importance, and 3) what themes they considered easy, hard, familiar or unfamiliar to integrate into language teaching and why. We analyzed two questions from a sustainability themed questionnaire considering all dimensions of sustainable development and the group reflections of the pre-service language teachers directly after they had answered the questionnaire. The pre-service language teachers considered sustainable development to be of high importance but were concerned about whether they are qualified to include it in their teaching, and whether they have enough time for it. Based on our results, pre-service language teachers would benefit from schooling in sustainability education, and handling global and local issues separately could help them to better understand sustainability themes.</p
Perspectives on Forests and Forestry in Finnish Online Discussions - A Topic Modeling Approach to Suomi24
Get PDFThis paper explores how forests and forest industry are perceived on the largest online discussion forum in Finland, Suomi24 ('Finland24'). Using 30,636 posts published in 2014–2020, we investigate what kind of topics and perspectives towards forest management can be found. We use BERTopic as our topic modeling approach and evaluate the results of its different modular combinations. As the dataset is not labeled, we demonstrate the validity of our best model through illustrating some of the topics about forest use. The results show that a combination of UMAP and K-means leads to the best topic quality. Our exploratory qualitative analysis indicates that the posts reflect polarized discourses between the forest industry and forest conservation adherents

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
