How news affect the trading behavior of different categories of investors in a financial market

2015

We investigate the trading behavior of a large set of single investors trading the highly liquid Nokia stock over the period 2003-2008 with the aim of determining the relative role of endogenous and exogenous factors that may affect their behavior. As endogenous factors we consider returns and volatility, whereas the exogenous factors we use are the total daily number of news and a semantic variable based on a sentiment analysis of news. Linear regression and partial correlation analysis of data show that different categories of investors are differently correlated to these factors. Governmental and non profit organizations are weakly sensitive to news and returns or volatility, and, typica…

Equal access to the top? Measuring selection into finnish academia

2019

In this article, we draw a parallel between equality of opportunity in educational transitions and equality of opportunity in academic careers. In both cases, many methodological problems can be ameliorated by the use of longitudinal rather than cross-sectional data. We illustrate this point by using Finnish full-population register data to follow the educational and academic careers of the 1964–1966 birth cohorts from birth to the present day. We show how the Finnish professoriate is highly selected both in terms of parental background and in terms of gender. Individuals of different backgrounds differ greatly in the likelihood of completing different educational and academic transitions, …

Gender segregation in the employment of higher education graduates

2014

This article examines the employment and placement in the working life of Finnish higher education graduates (i.e. graduates from universities and polytechnics), focusing on gender equality. It reports a study on gender segregation in higher education and working life, considered in relation to Nordic gender equality policies. The data were gathered via a questionnaire administered to graduates in business and administration (n = 1067) and in technology (n = 1087), three years after their graduation. The results showed that men were able to secure permanent and full-time employment more often than women, and men achieved better correspondence between their degree and their employment. Howev…

Does corn market uncertainty impact the US ethanol prices?

2018

The growing interest in biofuel as a green energy source has intensified the linkages between corn and ethanol markets, especially in the United States that represents the largest producing and exporting country for ethanol in the world. In this study, we examine the effect of corn market uncertainty on the price changes of US ethanol applying a set of GARCH-jump models. We find that the US ethanol price changes react positively to the corn market volatility shocks after controlling for the effect of oil price uncertainty. In addition, we document that the impact of corn price volatility on the US ethanol prices appears to be asymmetric. Specifically, only the positive corn market volatilit…

Sisubiotus hakaiensis sp. nov. (Tardigrada, Macrobiotidae), a new tardigrade species from Calvert Island (British Columbia, Canada)

2022

Tardigrades reports from British Columbia (Canada) trace back to 1908 and numerous species have been recorded from this region, despite the relatively few published sampling studies. We describe by integrative taxonomy (light microscopy morphology, morphometrics, and DNA sequencing) a new tardigrade species, Sisubiotus hakaiensis sp. nov. from the British Columbia central coast. The new species has been found in moss collected from a vertical rock outcrop near the Hakai Institute Calvert Island Field Station. Sisubiotus hakaiensis sp. nov. differs from all the other known species in the genus by the presence of a labyrinthine layer inside the egg process walls, whereas no consistent differe…

Vapaapalokunta - kasvupaikka kansalaistoiminnalle 1838-1938

2011

Vapaapalokuntatoiminta alkoi maassamme vuonna 1838 naapurimaista saadun esimerkin mukaisesti. VPK:iden toiminta muotoutui moninaiseksi ja se oli tarkoitettu kaikille kansalaisille. Toiminnassa noudatettiin tasa-arvon ja demokratian periaatteita alusta lähtien ja toiminnan tavoitteisiin kuuluivat yleishyödyllisyys sekä luokkaerojen vähentäminen jäsenten keskuudessa amerikkalaisen esikuvansa mukaisesti. Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää vapaapalokuntatoiminnan merkitystä kansalaisyhteiskunnalle ja kansalaisille niillä paikkakunnilla, joilla yhdistyksiä perustettiin. Tutkielman ajaksi olen rajannut ensimmäisen sadan vuoden ajan, koska silloin vapaapalokuntatoiminta oli aitoa vapaaehtoista …

Task-focused behaviour and mothers' causal attributions in relation to dyslexia : a follow-up from age 8 to age 20

2018

Children with dyslexia tend to find reading stressful. Coping responses, such as task-focused and avoidant behaviours, can help mitigate the stress. Task-focused behaviour is associated with reading development, with others’ at-tributions of success and failure linked to task-focused behaviour. The present study aims to examine whether differences in task-focused behaviour between those with dyslexia and those without dyslexia exist in childhood (age 8) and persist in adolescence (age 15) and early adulthood (age 20). The study also aimed to understand the relationship between mothers’ causal attributions of their 15-year-old adolescents’ school successes and fail-ures and task-focused beha…

Modelling the early determinants of food preferences in the OPALINE cohort

2012

Diaporama confidentielDiaporama confidentiel; The OPALINE project aimed at understanding the determining factors of the development of food preferences and eating behaviour up to the age of 2 years by following a cohort of children with a longitudinal recording of perinatal and postnatal feeding experiences, of children’s sensitivity to food tastes and odours and of parental feeding practices. The aim was to conjointly analyse the datasets to draw an overall picture of these potential determinants of food preferences and of their relative weight over the course of the first two years.The recruitment of a cohort of children (N=314) was conducted thanks to the help of local health and childho…
