Siirtymät ammatillisesta koulutuksesta korkeakoulutukseen Suomessa ja muissa Pohjoismaissa

2018

Mahdollisuudet siirtyä ammatillisesta koulutuksesta jatko-opintoihin korkea-asteelle erottelevat Pohjoismaisia koulutusjärjestelmiä. Artikkelissa vertaillaan neljän Pohjoismaan, Suomen, Ruotsin, Norjan ja Tanskan nuorten ammatillisen koulutuksen väyliä tästä näkökulmasta: miten ne mahdollistavat siirtymät korkea-asteelle. Artikkeli liittää aluksi kysymyksen jatko-opintoihin siirtymisen mahdollisuuksista laajempaan kansainväliseen keskusteluun elinikäisestä oppimisesta, minkä jälkeen luonnehditaan lyhyesti pohjoismaisten korkeakoulujärjestelmien eroja. Sen jälkeen tarkastellaan ammatillisen koulutuksen järjestelmiin eri Pohjoismaissa tehtyjä reformeja ja niiden vaikutuk…

Mapping routine measles vaccination in low- and middle-income countries

2021

The safe, highly effective measles vaccine has been recommended globally since 1974, yet in 2017 there were more than 17 million cases of measles and 83,400 deaths in children under 5 years old, and more than 99% of both occurred in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)1–4. Globally comparable, annual, local estimates of routine first-dose measles-containing vaccine (MCV1) coverage are critical for understanding geographically precise immunity patterns, progress towards the targets of the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP), and high-risk areas amid disruptions to vaccination programmes caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)5–8. Here we generated annual estimates of routine childhoo…

E-government in Tanzania: Current Status and Future Challenges

2012

Article from the book: Electronic Government. Also available from SpringerLink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33489-4_17 The public sector plays an important role in the economic growth and development of developing countries. The application of modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) may help improve the public sector by contributing to new services and processes that address citizens as well as government-to-government services, involve citizens more directly in decisions being made, and contribute to streamlining work processes and standardizations needed to develop a well-functioning public sector. Research focusing on E-government in developing countries is still …

Potential and competitiveness of EU countries in terms of slaughter livestock production

2019

: Models and methods of spatial econometrics are gaining more and more popularity. Their advantage is the opportunity to examine the interrelationships between individual territorial units. These methods, apart from the own potential of the region, take into account the impact of neighbouring objects and location in space. The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between the potential and the level of competitiveness of individual European Union countries in the field of slaughter cattle production. In addition, the paper attempts to determine the specialisation of individual EU countries in the production of slaughter animals by sector. The analysis covered the years 2010–2016, …

Export market integration in the European Union

2004

This paper examines the degree and recent evolution (1988-2001) of export-price dispersion among European Union countries. It also explores the effect of exchange rates on exportprice dispersion by reviewing the experience of some European countries that participated in the exchange rate stability zone. The results indicate that export-price dispersion across European Union countries was usually lower than across OECD countries. Moreover, although there is little evidence of convergence, this is stronger across European Union countries. Finally, even though price dispersion was often lower across European Union countries where exchange rates have been relatively stable than across countries…

The current state of research on eGovernment in developing countries: A literature review

2012

Published version of a chapter in the book: Electronic Government. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33489-4_1 This paper reports a review of literature on eGovernment in the context of developing countries published between 2005 and 2010. The insights emerging from this review may guide researchers in their continued investigation of eGovernment implementation, especially in the context of developing countries. From a review of 108 papers, the study found some substantive changes in the field of eGovernment research. These included increased adoption of interpretive paradigm and increased use of theories in the research. Some future research directio…
