Finnish and Greek early childhood teachers’ perspectives and practices in supporting children’s autonomy
2017
Kindergarten teachers from different cultural backgrounds attribute various meanings to children’s autonomy. There seems to be cultural differences in early childhood education curricula with regard to how a child’s autonomy is described and how it is supported. This qualitative study asks: how do teachers narrate their perspective and pedagogical support of children’s autonomy, and what kinds of similarities and differences in the pedagogy and practices can be found in Finnish and Greek early childhood education (ECEC) contexts? The data of this qualitative study consist of a semi-structured questionnaire of 14 kindergarten teachers and observations of their pedagogical practices in the da…
Long-term ecology of investors in a financial market
2018
AbstractThe cornerstone of modern finance is the efficient market hypothesis. Under this hypothesis all information available about a financial asset is immediately incorporated into its price dynamics by fully rational investors. In contrast to this hypothesis many studies have pointed out behavioral biases in investors. Recently it has become possible to access databases that track the trading decisions of investors. Studies of such databases have shown that investors acting in a financial market are highly heterogeneous among them, and that heterogeneity is a common characteristic of many financial markets. The article describes an empirical study of the daily trading decisions of all Fi…

"Meidän vanhojen vanhuus on tämän ajan rikkautta" : vastarintaiset vanhuuskuvat ja myöhäinen tyyli Eeva Kilven teoksen Kuolinsiivous sisäisessä ja ul…
2015
Tutkielman tavoitteena on tutkia, kuinka Eeva Kilven teos Kuolinsiivous osallistuu julkiseen keskusteluun vanhuudesta ja millaista vanhuuskuvaa se rakentaa, sekä Eeva Kilven myöhäistä tyyliä eli hänen ikänsä ja lähestyvän kuolemansa vaikutusta teokseen. Kysymykseen Kuolinsiivouksen vanhuuskuvasta liittyy oletus teoksen asettumisesta vastarintaan medialle tyypillisiä vanhuuden kurjuutta ja koomisuutta korostavia puhe- ja kuvaamistapoja vastaan. Sekä vastarintaisuuden oletus, että kuoleman voimakas läsnäolo teoksessa ja teoksen sirpaleinen rakenne synnyttävät oletuksen myös teoksesta myöhäisen tyylin (late style) edustajana. Keskeisiksi teorioiksi valikoituvat kulttuuriteoria (Fornäs 1998) ja…
