This paper compares different times of museums considering the situation of the past two decades. It reflects on the upswing and down, knowing that partake of the latter and we are in a deep crisis and unsustainable policies dictating contradictory. This situation raises the museums with their own project and creative professionals can better overcome difficulties because they do not suffer crisis of ideas. Some paradoxes are evident as the case of Greece, the place where the museums are repositories of highly relevant cultural values and the same institutions that have enhanced their improvement in the years of the upswing, they currently require, cuts that put them in a position risk. Similarly we can see that policies are applied to thin the identity of museums since they rely on adjustments that do not study each particular case. Alternatively there is the creativity and efforts of managers and professionals in general and cooperative work. It gives details of some of our participatory projects that go in this direction and to be successfully applied

This paper studies the initial development of certain language components. More precisely, we analyse the relation between three aspects that are closely involved in the grammar of the verb: morphological productivity, syntactic complexity, and verb vocabulary learning. The study is based on data about the relationship between lexical development and grammatical development, and also on proposals that a critical mass of vocabulary is needed in order to develop a grammatical component. The sample comprised six subjects who are monolingual or bilingual in Catalan andlor Spanish. Results show a morphological spurt some time afer the learning of a certain quantity of verbs. Moreover, syntactic complexity is only evident some months after this morphological spurt

El presente trabajo se centra en estudiar la relación que existe entre el desarrollo de léxico y el de la morfosintaxis. Concretamente pretendemos explorar el tipo de vocabulario que mejor predice el desarrollo de la morfología verbal y el de la complejidad gramatical, así como establecer el tipo de relación entre desarrollo léxico y desarrollo morfosintáctico. La muestra comprende 517 niños de edades comprendidas entre los 18 meses y los 30 meses. Los datos se han recogido a partir de la adaptación al catalán del instrumento MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDI). Los resultados muestran que el mejor predictor del desarrollo morfológico y gramatical es el vocabulario de clase cerrada, conjuntamente con el vocabulario general. Por otra parte, se observa una relación predominantemente lineal entre el desarrollo del léxico y el desarrollo morfosintáctico

Suurlujuusteräskonstruktioiden suunnittelu eroaa perinteisten rakenneterästen vastaavasta lukuisten lisähuomiota vaativien ilmiöiden ja seikkojen osalta, jotka kytkeytyvät toisiinsa rakenteen valmistettavuuden ja toiminnallisuuden kautta. Lujuuden sallima vapaampi suunnittelu esimerkiksi ohuempine materiaalivahvuuksineen ja näennäisesti vapaampine elementtigeometrioineen kumuloituu suurlujuusteräsmateriaalin kautta vaativampana työstettävyytenä. Tämä heijastuu suunnittelijalle materiaalin pienen murtovenymän ja käytettävissä olevat laitteistoresurssien kautta. Suurlujuusterästen muovaaminen vaatii perinteisiin rakenneteräksiin nähden suurempaa voimankäyttöä, mutta pieni murtovenymä rajoittaa saavutettavissa olevia muotoja. Materiaalivahvuuksien muuttuessa vaatii hitsausliitosten suunnittelu esimerkiksi railomuotojen uudelleensuunnittelua, sekä lämmöntuonnin aiheuttamien muutosten tarkempaa huomioimista. Näiden yhteensovittaminen ohjaa suunnittelijan poikkeuksetta hakemaan ratkaisuja erilaisista hitsausaineista ja -prosesseista. Suuren lujuuden ja pienen murtovenymän suurlujuusteräselementtien mekaanisten ominaisuuksien ja erilaisen elementtigeometrian yhdistelmänä kumuloituva rakennetekninen käyttäytyminen eroaa selvästi perinteisistä teräslaaduista. Yksittäisten elementtien suhteen korostuvat esimerkiksi stabiliteettiomiinaisuudet, sekä kokonaisten rakenteiden suhteen liitosratkaisujen vaikutus koko konstruktion toimintaan. Onnistuneella suurlujuusteräsuunnittelulla saavutettuja etuja ovat käyttökohteesta riippuen esimerkiksi kymmenien prosenttien massa- ja kustannussäästöjen kautta kumuloituvat konstruktion toiminnalliset edut. Suuren lujuuden terästen materiaaliteknisten erityispiirteiden suhteen ei kuitenkaan ole tarjolla perinteisiä rakenneteräksiä vastaavaa määrää yhteisesti sovittuja standardoituja suunnitteluohjeita. Tämän johdosta korostuu suunnittelijan kyky hahmottaa teräsmateriaalin lujuusluokan taakse piiloutuvat ilmiöt, sekä materiaalitekniset erityispiirteet ja niiden kytkeytyminen toisiinsa valmistettavuuden ja toiminnallisuuden kautta.

Tutkimus kuvaa tapahtumia mainonnan suunnittelun kulissien takana ja niiden vaikutusta suunnittelutyöhön mainonnan suunnittelijan näkökulmasta. Lähestymistapa on systeemiteoreettinen: tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan sekä mainostoimiston suunnittelijoiden, projektijohtajien ja muiden mainonnan suunnitteluun osallistuvien keskinäistä vuorovaikutusta että mainostoimiston ja mainoksia tilaavan asiakkaan vuorovaikutuksen asettamia rajoja ja mahdollisuuksia. Keskeinen työväline on Kurt Lewinin kentän käsite. Tutkimuksessa se konkretisoituu esitystavaksi mainonnan suunnittelun olennaisista piirteistä, jotka ovat toisistaan riippuvaisia. Tutkimusta pohjustaa ajatus mainonnan suunnittelun perusrakenteesta, joka on riippumaton taloudellisista, yhteiskunnallisista tai mainostoimialan liiketoimintaympäristön muutoksista. Mainostoimistossa työtä tehdään usein ryhmässä. Ydinryhmä muodostuu kirjoittavan ja visuaalisen suunnittelijan työparista, mutta projektijohtaja on avainasemassa hoitaessaan yhteydenpitoa mainostoimiston asiakkaaseen. Tutkimustyötä viitoittivat kysymykset mainonnan suunnittelijoiden tehtävästä ja asemasta, työssä koetuista haasteista sekä osuudesta ja vastuusta lopullisissa töissä. Keskiössä ovat suunnittelutyötä raamittavat haasteet, jotka ohjaavat suunnittelijoiden kykyjä ja haluja toteuttaa luovuuttaan. Tutkimus ammentaa teoreettisia aineksia työnjaon ja tiimityön käsitteiden ohella vallan tilanteisuudesta ja suhteista sekä sosiaalisen pääoman ja luottamuksen moniaineksisuudesta. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin syksyllä 2008 ja alkuvuodesta 2009 haastattelemalla suomalaisten mainostoimistojen suunnittelijoita. Haastatteluaineisto koostuu kymmenestä ryhmähaastattelusta, johon kuhunkin osallistui 3–4 suunnittelijaa. Muu aineisto sisältää toimialan tilastoja ja julkaisuja sekä yksityisiä sähköpostikirjeenvaihtoja ja keskusteluja mainosammattilaisten kanssa. Haastatteluaineisto analysoitiin Milesin ja Hubermannin aineistolähtöisen sisällönanalyysin avulla ja sitä täydennettiin retorisella diskurssianalyysilla. Analyysin alkuvaiheessa koemetodina sovellettiin Straussin ja Corbinin aineistolähtöisen teorian (grounded theory) kolmivaiheista koodausta. Tutkimuksen tuloksena on malli mainonnan suunnittelun kentän jännitteistä, jotka johtavat toimimaan tietyllä tavalla. Mainonnan suunnittelijan tehtävinä näyttäytyvät vaikuttaminen, asiakkaan tarpeiden tunnistaminen ja tyydyttäminen sekä omakohtainen menestyminen. Suunnittelijan asema näyttää työssä koettujen haasteiden kautta häilyvän asiantuntijuuden ja alihankkijuuden välimaastossa. Työn henkilökohtaisina haasteina piirtyvät tarmokkuuden ja jatkuvan oivaltamisen vaateet. Ulkoisina tekijöinä talouden, teknologian ja sen myötä median murros sekä haastaa että kehittää: alituiseen kiireeseen näytetään verhoavan pulmia, joiden todellinen alkuperä paikantuu muualle. Keskeiset ristiriidat ja toiminnan edellytykset ilmenevät juuri yhteistyössä: mainostoimiston sisäinen yhteistyö ja asiakkaan antama palaute ovat merkittäviä tekijöitä luottamuksen taustalla. Siten avoin ja vastavuoroinen kommunikaatio piirtyy olennaiseksi asetettujen tavoitteiden saavuttamisessa ja asiakkaan menestymisessä. Mainonnan suunnittelussa tärkeäksi kysymykseksi nousevat portinvartijoiden roolit. Mainostoimiston sisäisessä työskentelyssä projektijohtajat hallinnoivat suunnitteluresursseja, välittävät tietoa asiak kaalta suunnittelijalle ja päinvastoin sekä tekevät tärkeimmät päätökset. Asiakkaan puolella mainoksia tilaava asiakashenkilö hallinnoi valjastamiaan resursseja, mutta varsinainen päätöksenteko tapahtuu tämän esimiehen toimesta. Tulosten valossa on perusteltua uskoa, että mainonnan suunnittelijat kokevat oman työnsä arvon alentuneen ja päätösvaltansa vähentyneen. Mainostoimialan murroksen kannalta tutkimus tuo esiin uudenlaisen tiimityön ymmärtämisen ja korostaa yksilöiden vahvuuksien tunnistamisen merkitystä. Kiristyvässä taloudessa se suuntaa huomion sekä mainostoimistojen että niiden asiakasyritysten sisäisten ja ulkoisten resurssien tehokkaaseen ja tuottavaan hyödyntämiseen ja organisoimiseen. Sosiologisesti tutkimus tarjoaa yhdenlaisen näkökulman ryhmätyön ulottuvuuksiin ja työelämän yhteistyöhaasteiden pohtimiseen. Siten tutkimuksen tuloksilla voi nähdä arvoa myös muiden kuin mainosalan yhteistyökäytäntöjentarkasteluun.

Innovativity and cooperative learning in business life and teaching The study comprises four articles and a summary, which analyse the concepts of innovation and innovativity and the cooperative learning connected to the innovation processes of companies. Th e study comments on what is innovativity. Another point of inspection is how the cooperative learning theory constructed on the basis of educational science lends it self to inspecting business innovations. At the end, we ponder upon how the concepts of innovativity can be used to inspect teachers’ activities. The studied business innovations were chosen on after considering expert statements. The key personnel in the innovation process were interviewed. The concept of innovation is inspected especially with the aid of concept analysis. The pedagogical innovativity study based on the view of education specialists in quantitative and the data was collected with a questionnaire created on the basis of previous research and literature. Different research methods were used in the studies, thus mixed methods were used for the whole of the doctoral thesis. The starting point for the whole, grounded theory, has to be understood here as a research strategy as well as a research method and data analysis method. The results show that innovativity is creativity that demands versatile learning and has positive eff ects on the process or event in practice. The results also show that in successful innovation businesses cooperative learning is something that has been found instead of searched. Cooperative learning can be seen as characteristic for innovation businesses. The five stage division of cooperative learning creates a useful method of analysing learning in innovation businesses. Innovativity connected to cooperative learning seems to make the creation of innovations possible. In addition to this, the results also show that a teacher’s innovativity is connected to reforms and an attitude that embraces them. Versatile learning in the individual and community is a prerequisite for innovativity. It is important that the teacher has a continuous will to renew teaching methods and combine work and teaching methods. The basic requirements are pedagogical vocational profi ciency and resourcefulness in everyday work.

The main focus of the present thesis was at verbal episodic memory processes that are particularly vulnerable to preclinical and clinical Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Here these processes were studied by a word learning paradigm, cutting across the domains of memory and language learning studies. Moreover, the differentiation between normal aging, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD was studied by the cognitive screening test CERAD. In study I, the aim was to examine how patients with amnestic MCI differ from healthy controls in the different CERAD subtests. Also, the sensitivity and specificity of the CERAD screening test to MCI and AD was examined, as previous studies on the sensitivity and specificity of the CERAD have not included MCI patients. The results indicated that MCI is characterized by an encoding deficit, as shown by the overall worse performance on the CERAD Wordlist learning test compared with controls. As a screening test, CERAD was not very sensitive to MCI. In study II, verbal learning and forgetting in amnestic MCI, AD and healthy elderly controls was investigated with an experimental word learning paradigm, where names of 40 unfamiliar objects (mainly archaic tools) were trained with or without semantic support. The object names were trained during a 4-day long period and a follow-up was conducted one week, 4 weeks and 8 weeks after the training period. Manipulation of semantic support was included in the paradigm because it was hypothesized that semantic support might have some beneficial effects in the present learning task especially for the MCI group, as semantic memory is quite well preserved in MCI in contrast to episodic memory. We found that word learning was significantly impaired in MCI and AD patients, whereas forgetting patterns were similar across groups. Semantic support showed a beneficial effect on object name retrieval in the MCI group 8 weeks after training, indicating that the MCI patients’ preserved semantic memory abilities compensated for their impaired episodic memory. The MCI group performed equally well as the controls in the tasks tapping incidental learning and recognition memory, whereas the AD group showed impairment. Both the MCI and the AD group benefited less from phonological cueing than the controls. Our findings indicate that acquisition is compromised in both MCI and AD, whereas long13 term retention is not affected to the same extent. Incidental learning and recognition memory seem to be well preserved in MCI. In studies III and IV, the neural correlates of naming newly learned objects were examined in healthy elderly subjects and in amnestic MCI patients by means of positron emission tomography (PET) right after the training period. The naming of newly learned objects by healthy elderly subjects recruited a left-lateralized network, including frontotemporal regions and the cerebellum, which was more extensive than the one related to the naming of familiar objects (study III). Semantic support showed no effects on the PET results for the healthy subjects. The observed activation increases may reflect lexicalsemantic and lexical-phonological retrieval, as well as more general associative memory mechanisms. In study IV, compared to the controls, the MCI patients showed increased anterior cingulate activation when naming newly learned objects that had been learned without semantic support. This suggests a recruitment of additional executive and attentional resources in the MCI group.

The goal of this study is to determine the naming ability in Finnish and Swedish of nursery school-aged children participating in a language immersion programme, as well as their command of both languages. The study also aims to describe factors reflecting language immersion teaching in nursery schools based on action research and a literature survey. The longitudinal study, conducted in 2003–2005, comprised 133 native Finnish three- to six-year-old children in language immersion programmes. A total of four measurements were carried out over two and a half years. In each measurement, four separate tests were given to each child (totally 1134 measurements). Research material was collected using survey tools that measured the children’s naming ability and command of language. The tools had been translated into both Finnish and Swedish. The material also includes taped responses related to the tool for naming ability. Didactic approaches were developed on the basis of material from action research and the literature survey. The material was examined using methodological triangulation, and a quantitative analysis was made of each survey tool. Furthermore, a content analysis of the children’s taped responses gave further depth to the description of language development. The theoretical framework of the study is mainly based on modern sociocultural theories of second language development and acquisition. Thus, the approach is both linguistic and pedagogic, with emphasis lying on the latter. The socioculturally-oriented framework of this study is mainly influenced by the theorists Vygotski, Spolsky, van Lier and Cummins. According to the results, the language skills of children in language immersion programmes develop as expected from age three to six in the fields studied. In the field of language command, the children acquired excellent skills in listening comprehension. Their naming ability was not as good. In each test, the children showed weaker skills in Swedish than in Finnish. However, based on the assumption that the two languages have a shared cognitive field, the skills in Swedish catch up with the skills in Finnish at an annual rate of 6–7 per cent. The study indicates that children meet a language development threshold one year earlier in their native language than they do in the immersion language. As for the naming ability in Swedish, problems arose from the fact that the deviation in results increases with age. Children showed creativity in their use of naming strategies. Judging by the research results, children begin to use the immersion language as a tool for thought at a very early phase. The research results, action research and literature survey were also used to create a general educational model for language immersion.

En väsentlig fråga inom såväl lingvistiska som kognitiva teorier är, hur språket beskriver kausala relationer. I finskan finns det en speciell typ av kausativa verb avledda med suffixet (U)ttA som används för att uttrycka att handlingen i fråga utförs av någon annan än subjektreferenten, t.ex. Maija haetuttaa Matilla kirjastosta kirjan ’Maija låter Matti hämta boken från biblioteket’ och Matti juoksuttaa Maijan kaupunkiin ’Matti låter Maija springa till staden’. Syftet med denna avhandling var att med exempel av sociala dominansens kausativer undersöka ordbildningens natur samt begreppet ’socialt förorsakande’. För att beskriva avledningars regelbundna argumentstruktur i form av kopplingen mellan syntaxen och semantiken upprättades deras prototypiska strukturer. Dessa verb har emellertid också specifika användningsområden som framhäver variationer i sociala relationer. Säregna egenskaper hos den sociala dominansens kausativer inkluderades i undersökningen och definierades som konstruktioner. Konstruktionerna omfattar speciella syntaktiska och/eller semantiska element och utöver det också pragmatiska värderande implikationer. Uppbyggnaden av den sociala dimensionen hos de undersökta verben består av egenskaper förbundna med typen av förorsakande, argumentens agentiva egenskaper (aktivitet eller passivitet, dominans, kontroll, viljestyrdhet och ansvarighet) samt konventionaliserade attityder och tolkningar. Ett exempel på en s.k. 'tolkningskonstruktion’ är den negativa dominansens uttryck som i avhandlingen kallas Maktmissbrukskonstruktionen. Denna konstruktion inkluderar talarens starkt kritiska hållning till den uttryckta situationen, t.ex. Asiakas juoksuttaa lentoemäntää ’Kunden låter flygvärdinnan springa’. Dessa konstruktioner fyller en viktig funktion i språklig kommunikation: att beskriva avvikande av sociala normer och att foga expressivitet till budskapet. Metodologiskt kombinerar denna avhandling teorier som baseras på det aktuella språkbruket och teoretisk lingvistisk analys. Verbens samt konstruktionernas konceptuella lexikala struktur och prototypstrukturerna analyserades med hjälp av den konceptuella semantikens verktyg, som har utvecklats av Jackendoff, Nikanne och Pörn.

The human language-learning ability persists throughout life, indicating considerable flexibility at the cognitive and neural level. This ability spans from expanding the vocabulary in the mother tongue to acquisition of a new language with its lexicon and grammar. The present thesis consists of five studies that tap both of these aspects of adult language learning by using magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during language processing and language learning tasks. The thesis shows that learning novel phonological word forms, either in the native tongue or when exposed to a foreign phonology, activates the brain in similar ways. The results also show that novel native words readily become integrated in the mental lexicon. Several studies in the thesis highlight the left temporal cortex as an important brain region in learning and accessing phonological forms. Incidental learning of foreign phonological word forms was reflected in functionally distinct temporal lobe areas that, respectively, reflected short-term memory processes and more stable learning that persisted to the next day. In a study where explicitly trained items were tracked for ten months, it was found that enhanced naming-related temporal and frontal activation one week after learning was predictive of good long-term memory. The results suggest that memory maintenance is an active process that depends on mechanisms of reconsolidation, and that these process vary considerably between individuals. The thesis put special emphasis on studying language learning in the context of language production. The neural foundation of language production has been studied considerably less than that of perceptive language, especially on the sentence level. A well-known paradigm in language production studies is picture naming, also used as a clinical tool in neuropsychology. This thesis shows that accessing the meaning and phonological form of a depicted object are subserved by different neural implementations. Moreover, a comparison between action and object naming from identical images indicated that the grammatical class of the retrieved word (verb, noun) is less important than the visual content of the image. In the present thesis, the picture naming was further modified into a novel paradigm in order to probe sentence-level speech production in a newly learned miniature language. Neural activity related to grammatical processing did not differ between the novel language and the mother tongue, but stronger neural activation for the novel language was observed during the planning of the upcoming output, likely related to more demanding lexical retrieval and short-term memory. In sum, the thesis aimed at examining language learning by combining different linguistic domains, such as phonology, semantics, and grammar, in a dynamic description of language processing in the human brain.

The present dissertation examined reading development during elementary school years by means of eye movement tracking. Three different but related issues in this field were assessed. First of all, the development of parafoveal processing skills in reading was investigated. Second, it was assessed whether and to what extent sublexical units such as syllables and morphemes are used in processing Finnish words and whether the use of these sublexical units changes as a function of reading proficiency. Finally, the developmental trend in the speed of visual information extraction during reading was examined. With regard to parafoveal processing skills, it was shown that 2nd graders extract letter identity information approx. 5 characters to the right of fixation, 4th graders approx. 7 characters to the right of fixation, and 6th graders and adults approx. 9 characters to the right of fixation. Furthermore, it was shown that all age groups extract more parafoveal information within compound words than across adjectivenoun pairs of similar length. In compounds, parafoveal word information can be extracted in parallel with foveal word information, if the compound in question is of high frequency. With regard to the use of sublexical units in Finnish word processing, it was shown that less proficient 2nd graders use both syllables and morphemes in the course of lexical access. More proficient 2nd graders as well as older readers seem to process words more holistically. Finally, it was shown that 60 ms is enough for 4th graders and adults to extract visual information from both 4-letter and 8-letter words, whereas 2nd graders clearly needed more than 60 ms to extract all information from 8- letter words for processing to proceed smoothly. The present dissertation demonstrates that Finnish 2nd graders develop their reading skills rapidly and are already at an adult level in some aspects of reading. This is not to say that there are no differences between less proficient (e.g., 2nd graders) and more proficient readers (e.g., adults) but in some respects it seems that the visual system used in extracting information from the text is matured by the 2nd grade. Furthermore, the present dissertation demonstrates that the allocation of attention in reading depends much on textual properties such as word frequency and whether words are spatially unified (as in compounds) or not. This flexibility of the attentional system naturally needs to be captured in word processing models. Finally, individual differences within age groups are quite substantial but it seems that by the end of the 2nd grade practically all Finnish children have reached a reasonable level of reading proficiency.
