    El presente informe expone los resultados de un estudio de caso descriptivo asociado a los tweets publicados bajo los hashtags #vacunacoronavirus y #coronavirusvaccine. Un aporte fundamental de la investigaci贸n es la propuesta de una metodolog铆a de an谩lisis del discurso asistido por miner铆a de datos en un escenario asociado a mensajes multisoportes. El presente art铆culo con un enfoque mixto fue aplicado sobre una muestra de 1 mill贸n de tweets extra铆dos de manera aleatoria por las aplicaciones Stela y Brand24. Mostramos la necesaria interrelaci贸n metodol贸gica del uso de softwares y herramientas cuantitativas, as铆 como la perspectiva cualitativa para determinar la interpretaci贸n de la representaci贸n simb贸lica que se emiti贸 sobre la vacunaci贸n anti-covid 19. Los resultados presentan los encuadres, la polaridad, y las percepciones que adoptan los usuarios respecto a vacunas de comercializaci贸n internacional.This report presents the results of a descriptive case study associated with tweets published under the hashtags #vaccunacoronavirus and #coronavirusvaccine. A fundamental contribution of the research is the proposal of a methodology of discourse analysis assisted by data mining in a scenario associated with multi-supported messages. The present paper with a mixed approach was applied on a sample of 1 million tweets randomly extracted by Stela and Brand24 applications. We show the necessary methodological interrelation of the use of software and quantitative tools, as well as the qualitative perspective to determine the interpretation of the symbolic representation that was issued on anti-covid 19 vaccination. The results present the framing, polarity, and perceptions adopted by users regarding internationally marketed vaccines.Facultad de Periodismo y Comunicaci贸n Socia

    Perceptions of dementia: the impact on people with and without a diagnosis

    This thesis explores the impact that perceptions of dementia can have on individuals with and without a diagnosis of dementia. Chapter 1 is a systematic literature review investigating the implications of dementia worry in people without a diagnosis of dementia. A narrative thematic synthesis of 16 articles identified three main themes of the literature. Dementia worry was found to have implications for individuals well-being, memory concerns, and help-seeking behaviours. The study鈥檚 findings suggested that individuals who are concerned about their memory in the absence of cognitive impairment should be routinely assessed for dementia worry and offered appropriate support to manage associated psychological needs. Chapter 2 examines the impact illness representations have on perceptions of cognitive ability and functional ability in people with a diagnosis of dementia. A total of 114 individuals participated in the study, comprised of 57 people with a diagnosis of dementia, and 57 paired carers. Statistical analysis revealed that illness representations predicted perceptions of cognitive ability and functional ability. Equally, significant differences were found between patient and carer ratings of functional ability and cognitive ability. The study highlighted the impact that illness representations can have on perceptions of cognitive and functional ability in people with dementia, suggesting there is a clinical need to ascertain how individuals view their dementia following diagnosis, and to appropriately support those who may hold especially negative illness representations. Chapter 3 presents a first-person reflective account of the author鈥檚 experience of conducting research with a dementia population. The author considers the shift from being a clinician to a researcher, feeling powerless to elicit change, and her personal research journey
