El Efecto tercera persona: conclusiones de las investigaciones sobre la percepción de la influencia de los medios y sus consecuencias.
No full textEste trabajo presenta los resultados conjuntos de 5 investigaciones sobre el efecto
tercera persona (ETP) desarrolladas a lo largo de seis años de investigación. Los
estudios se centraron en: (1) la influencia percibida de medios y contenidos
(Guerrero-Solé, 2013), (2) la influencia percibida de una campaña de bañadores de
H&M, y (3) de un anuncio de apuestas online (Guerrero-Solé, Lopez-Gonzalez y
Griffiths, 2017), (4) la influencia percibida de contenidos controvertidos como el trash
talk show Sálvame (Guerrero-Solé, Besalú y López-González, 2014), la publicidad y
las imágenes violentas, y, finalmente (5) la diferencia en la influencia de los
contenidos en función del medio por el que se transmiten (Guerrero-Solé, 2016;
Guerrero-Solé, López-González, 2016). La muestra total de individuos que fueron
encuestados sobre el efecto fue de N=556. Las principales conclusiones de este
trabajo son: el efecto tercera persona se confirma en el caso de los medios, en
general, la publicidad y los contenidos controvertidos, y se disipa o se revierte en el
caso de las campañas institucionales de prevención del cáncer de piel o de la
ludopatía. Una de las cuestiones que no queda resuelta es la conexión entre el
componente perceptual y el conductual del ETP

The Novels of Harold Frederic
No full textI do not intend to defend the obviously untenable thesis that Frederic was a great writer and is not appreciated because of the nature of his subject matter. The author of The Damnation of Theron Ware seldom shows any sign of genius. What Frederic does, and often in a rather workmanlike manner, is tell a story of small-town and country people in upper New York state. In his early works, Seth\u27s Brother\u27s Wife and The Lawton Girl, the author writes about things he knows and has done. The works written about the same time as the two mentioned have a delightful simplicity and naïveté, and incidentally come very close to the realistic tradition in the novel. The majority of Frederic\u27s later works are tinged with a pseudo-sophistication, an artiness which just does not belong, and these elements detract from such an otherwise good thing as The Damnation of Theron Ware
Danube River Development Strategy: Interim Report
No full textThe Danube is an essential Inland Water Transport (IWT) corridor, particularly for the hinterland connection for the Port of Constantza. This port became one of the largest and busiest ports on the Black Sea, due to its strategic location at the cross roads of Europe and Asia and due to its capacity to handle large volumes of different types of cargoes. With the ongoing economic reforms in Romania it is expected that the Port of Constantza will develop into a gateway for Eastern and Central Europe and efficient IWT hinterland connections are therefore required. The project "Danube River Development Strategy" aims to formulate a strategy and to define measures to increase the competitive position of IWT and to improve the navigability of the Romanian stretch of the Danube between the Iron Gates II and Giurgeni. The approach of the project can be characterized as strategy formulation to create a high capacity transport corridor at minimum investment costs. The project comprises two phases, i.e. River Status Phase and Strategy Development Phase. The first phase of the project has been completed in September 1994 with the submission of the River Status Report, which describes the present status of the Danube river followed by the generation of alternative development strategies for the Danube. In the second project phase selected strategies are analyzed followed by the selection of the preferred river development strategy. This Interim Report for the Strategy Development Phase includes the analyses of the various alternative development strategies. The report will be presented to and discussed with the Romanian authorities to select and further define the preferred development strategy. This preferred strategy will then be further analysed and reported in the Draft Final Report. The main objective of the Danube River Development Strategy project is to improve the navigation conditions of the Romanian section of the Danube between the Iron Gates II (rkm 869) and Giurgeni (rkm 239) in order to create a competitive IWT hinterland connection for the Port of Constantza. Various alternative development strategies have been considered. The strategies are rated on multiple criteria, where it appeared that all considered strategies are economically viable. The alternatives combi-c3 and combi-c4 appeared to have the best results. For description of all the alternatives we refer to the report.Danube River Development Strateg
The ideology of media: measuring the political leaning of Spanish news media through Twitter users’ interactions
No full textThe news media have a strong influence on people’s perception of reality. But despite claims to objectivity, media organizations are, in general, politically biased (Patterson & Donsbach, 1996; Gaebler, 2017). The link between news media outlets and political organizations has been a critical question in political science and communication studies. To assess the closeness between the news media and particular political organizations, scholars have used different methods such as content analysis, undertaking surveys or adopting a political economy view. With the advent of social networks, new sources of data are now available to measure the relationship between media organizations and parties. Assuming that users coherently retweet political and news information (Wong, Tan, Sen & Chiang, 2016), and drawing on the retweet overlap network (RON) method (Guerrero-Solé, 2017), this research uses people’s perceived ideology of Spanish political parties (CIS, 2020) to propose a measure of the ideology of news media in Spain. Results show that scores align with the result of previous research on the ideology of the news media (Ceia, 2020). We also find that media outlets are, in general, politically polarized with two groups or clusters of news media being close to the left-wing parties UP and PSOE, and the other to the right-wing and far-right parties Cs, PP, and Vox. This research also underlines the media’s ideological stability over time.This research was funded by the MCIU/AEI/FEDER, UE under Grant PGC2018-097352-A-I00
Frederic Chopin – 4 Balladia : raportti konsertin toteutuksesta
No full textThe author made his thesis in a concert form. The concert “Frederic Chopin – Four Ballades” was held on 10.10.2017 at Tampere Music Academy’s Pyynikki Hall. The concert consisted of only Chopin’s music and all the works were performed by the author of the thesis. The program was following: Frederic Chopin – Four Ballades: No.1 in G minor, Op. 23, No.2 in F major, Op. 38, No.3 in A-flat major, Op. 47, and No.4 in F minor, Op. 52. After the Ballades, Frederic Chopin's Mazurka in A minor Op. 17 No.4 was performed as an encore.
The main objective of this thesis was to delve into making a musically interesting and professional concert, which includes the whole cycle of works by one composer. The aim of this written report was to clarify the practicing process and the progress of the concert itself. In the report, the author tells about the composer, introduces the pieces played in the concert more closely, and explain the working process in detail. The ways of practising were gathered by participating in piano master-classes and collecting the advices of many teachers from different countries.
More attention has been paid to author’s own ideas and experience. As sources the author used biographies, general dictionaries, music analyses of composer’s works and different music scores. The poster, program and the video of the concert are found as attachments in the thesis. The results show that the performer and members of the audience were satisfied with the performance and the evaluator’s opinions gave interesting information for the developing process
