Reflecting on Work Values with Young Unemployed Adults in Finland
2019
In this article, we explore the internal conversations about the work values of young unemployed adults in Finland. We draw on the theoretical concept of internal conversation by Margaret Archer in order to shift the focus from the individual work values to the interplay between subjective concerns and structural circumstances. The data consist of six group interviews conducted among 29 young unemployed adults. We argue that the internal conversations on work values of young unemployed adults constitute five significant concerns: self-realization and opportunity to contribute to society; sufficient income to live independently; social expectations; challenges of finding employment; and unsu…
Does differential iron supply to algae affect Daphnia life history? : An ionome-wide study
2019
The availability of iron (Fe) varies considerably among diet items, as well as ecosystems. Availability of Fe has also changed due to anthropogenic environmental changes in oceanic as well as inland ecosystems. We know little about its role in the nutrition of ecologically important consumers, particularly in inland ecosystems. Physiological studies in several taxa indicate marked effects of dietary Fe on oogenesis. We predicted that differential Fe supply to algae will impact algal Fe concentration with consequences on the life history of the freshwater grazer, Daphnia magna. We found that algal Fe concentration increased with Fe supply, but did not affect algal growth, indicating that the…
Japānas novecojošā sabiedrība: risinājumu meklējumos
2019
Darbā tiek aprakstīti novecojošas sabiedrības veidošanās cēloņi un situācija pasaulē, īpaši Japānā. Atspoguļojot vēsturisko un esošo situāciju, kā arī valdības risinājumu meklējumus, tiek apskatīta iespējamā sabiedrības nākotne. Darba mērķis ir sniegt nelielu ieskatu Japānas novecojošās sabiedrības rašanās iemeslos, censties izprast, kā izveidojusies šāda situācija, un saprast, cik efektīvi ir risinājumi. Aprakstīti Japānas valdības centieni valstiskā līmenī risināt sabiedrības atražošanas problēmu, un kā tas ir ietekmējis valsts labklājības attīstības virzienu. Darbā tiek apskatīta Japānas novecojošās sabiedrības situācija no vēsturiskā, kultūrvēsturiskā, tradīciju un labklājības aspekta. …
