Using VIS/NIR and IR spectral cameras for detecting and separating crime scene details
2012
Detecting invisible details and separating mixed evidence is critical for forensic inspection. If this can be done reliably and fast at the crime scene, irrelevant objects do not require further examination at the laboratory. This will speed up the inspection process and release resources for other critical tasks. This article reports on tests which have been carried out at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland together with the Central Finland Police Department and the National Bureau of Investigation for detecting and separating forensic details with hyperspectral technology. In the tests evidence was sought after at an assumed violent burglary scene with the use of VTT's 500-900 nm wave…
School and choice: An ethnography of a primary school with bilingual classes
2010
Based on a one-year ethnographic study of a primary school in Finland with specialised classes in Finnish and English (referred to as bilingual classes by research participants), this research traces how nationed, ethnicised, classed and gendered differences are produced and gain meaning in school. I examine several aspects of these differences: the ways teachers and parents make sense of school and of school choice; the repertoires of self put forward by teachers, parents and pupils of the bilingual classes, and the institutional and classroom practices in Sunny Lane School (pseudonym). My purpose is to examine how the construction of differentness is related to the policy of school choice…

Situational factors shape moral judgements in the trolley dilemma in Eastern, Southern and Western countries in a culturally diverse sample
2022
The study of moral judgements often centres on moral dilemmas in which options consistent with deontological perspectives (that is, emphasizing rules, individual rights and duties) are in conflict with options consistent with utilitarian judgements (that is, following the greater good based on consequences). Greene et al. (2009) showed that psychological and situational factors (for example, the intent of the agent or the presence of physical contact between the agent and the victim) can play an important role in moral dilemma judgements (for example, the trolley problem). Our knowledge is limited concerning both the universality of these effects outside the United States and the impact of …
El alojamiento colaborativo: Viviendas de uso turístico y plataformas virtuales
2016
La llamada economía colaborativa, fenómeno innovador de alcance global y transversal, supone la apuesta por una alternativa a las prácticas hasta ahora conocidas en nuestra sociedad de consumo. Esta idea de la economía colaborativa ha tenido una gran repercusión más allá de su incidencia en los mercados de servicios y bienes, afectando de forma directa al sector del alojamiento turístico. De hecho, se han generalizado de forma extraordinaria diferentes alternativas al alojamiento vacacional más tradicional, mediante plataformas virtuales que ofrecen viviendas privadas para su uso turístico a precios competitivos y prometen experiencias más cercanas a la convivencia vecinal que turística. An…
Koti, koulu ja kasvatus – kohtaamisia ja rajankäyntejä
2004
Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan kodin ja koulun välistä vuorovaikutusta peruskoulun yläasteella. Ilmiötä lähestytään sekä koulun että kodin näkökulmista. Tutkimuksessa kysytään, millaisia merkityksiä ja toimintapaikkoja vanhemmat saavat koulun arjessa, tarkastellaan vanhempien tulkintoja koulusta sekä kodin ja koulun yhteistyöstä sekä pohditaan opettajuuden ja vanhemmuuden yhteen kietoutumista. Vanhemmuutta lähestytään analyysissä sukupuolittuneena ja erilaisten sosiaalisten asemien haltijoina. Tutkimus edustaa kasvatussosiologista tutkimusta, joka saa vaikutteita nais- ja sukupuolitutkimuksesta, etnografisesta tutkimusotteesta ja sosiaalisesta konstruktionismista. Tutkimus on osa dosentti Tuul…
