Data from: Gene expression is more strongly associated with behavioural specialisation than with age or fertility in ant workers
2018
The ecological success of social insects is based on division of labour, not only between queens and workers, but also among workers. Whether a worker tends the brood or forages is influenced by age, fertility and nutritional status, with brood carers being younger, more fecund and more corpulent. Here, we experimentally disentangle behavioural specialisation from age and fertility in Temnothorax longispinosus ant workers and analyse how these parameters are linked to whole-body gene expression. A total of 3644 genes were associated with behavioural specialisation which is ten times more than associated with age and 50 times more than associated with fertility. Brood carers were characteriz…
Risk Weighing in Twin Pregnancy
2010
Multiple pregnancies are more often associated with complications than singleton pregnancies. In our retrospective study of 613 twin pregnancies the most important risk factors in twin pregnancies were premature labour before the 37th week of gestation and the premature rupture of the membrane. The increase of perinatal mortality and morbidity for twins might be primary the result of premature delivery.
Desempleo y crisis Económica. Los casos de España e Italia
2018
En este artículo se analiza la diferente reacción que los mercados laborales italiano y español han tenido ante la crisis económica: la tasa de paro italiana entre 2006 y 2012, ha crecido relativamente poco (pasando del 7,6 al 10,9%) mientras que la es-pañola se ha casi triplicado, pasando del 9 al 24,4%. Para ello se han analizado datos relativos a: el mercado del trabajo, la situación socioeconómica y la legislación exis-tente. Tras el estudio realizado, tres parecen ser las discrepancias más relevantes: 1) las diferencias en las tasas de actividad femenina entre ambos países; 2) la menor apertura del mercado laboral italiano en los últimos 20 años; y, 3) la diferente legis-lación sobre d…
Controllo della mobilità del lavoro straniero e razzismo culturale
2013
The international migration is an economic and political matter. Infact, economic and political is its history, that began with the dawn of capitalism, which by definition requires the free mobility of the workforce, but also needs to subject it to strict controls not to let it become elusive as it is free to move. To understand the racist abuses that accompany the migration policies in Europe and Italy, it is necessary to focus on certain elements that could be examined closely. It concerns the history of the capitalist economy and the relationships between the advanced capitalist countries and those from which the migrants move. In this speech we intend to show how there is a precise rela…
Työväenpuolueen ja työläisnaisten puolesta : Womenʻs Labour League vuodesta 1906 vuoden 1918 loppuun
2010
Käsittelen pro gradu- työssäni Women´s Labour League-järjestön (WLL) näkemyksiä ja suhdetta työtä tekeviin naisiin, kotiäiteihin sekä työväenpuolueeseen järjestön perustamisesta vuonna 1906 siihen asti, kun se vuoden 1918 lopulla liittyi virallisesti osaksi työväenpuoluetta. Tutkin sitä, miten niiden etujen ajaminen ja näkemykset näkyivät WLL:n toiminnassa sekä kumman asioiden ajaminen oli järjestölle tärkeämpää. Lisäksi pohdin sitä, vaikuttivatko erilaiset aikakaudelle tyypilliset yhteiskunnalliset tekijät, kuten sosialismi, keskiluokan näkemykset työväenluokasta ja etenkin sen naisista sekä suffragetit, WLL:n ajatuksiin ja toimintaan. Pääasiallisina alkuperäislähteinä käytän WLL:n johtoku…
Regional concentration of university graduates : The role of high school grades and parental background
2020
In this paper, we analyse long-term changes in the regional distribution and migration flows of university graduates in Finland and Sweden. This study is based on detailed longitudinal population register data, including information on high school grades and parental background. We find a distinct pattern of skill divergence across regions in both countries over the last 3 decades. The uneven distribution of human capital has been reinforced by the mobility patterns of university graduates, for whom regional sorting by high school grades and parental background is evident. Our findings indicate that traditional measures of human capital concentration most likely underscore actual regional …
Integration and hegemonic relationship of labour market inequality : an investigation of immigrants/policy officials perceptions on immigrant's labou…
2017
The aim of the research was to investigate the perceptions of immigrants (students, refugees and others) and public officials, on the value of Finnish economic integration within the broader context of immigrant-host labour relationship. Employing Gramsci theory of Hegemony, this study examined those discursive hegemonies in defining the economic and labour market importance of migration and integration, and how does such "hegemonic definitions" resonate within the views of Non-EU foreign students and other migrants. How does hegemonic labour inequality explicate when certain notions of belonging and identity resonates within labour market inclusions of Immigrants. To understand how percept…
Can fathers' leave take-up dismantle gendered parental responsibilities? Evidence from Finland
2022
Objective: This article reports on the associations of fathers' leave take-up with parents' care responsibilities when their child is around four years old. Background: In families with small children women continue to do more parental care work than men. Several studies, however, have suggested that fathers who take up parental leave also take more responsibility for childcare. Method: We applied logistic regression analysis to Finnish survey data collected in 2019 from the mothers and fathers of four-year-old children to find out whether father’s take-up and length of leave is related to fathers taking equal or more responsibility for different dimensions of parental responsibilities, inc…
