Miesjohtajien isyysdiskurssit
2019
Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli avata ja purkaa miesjohtajien isyydelle ja johtajuudelle antamia merkityksiä. Erityisen kiinnostuksen kohteena oli se, rakentavatko miesjohtajat isyyttään ja johtajuuttaan hyödyntäen perinteisiä ja dominoivia, jopa luonnollisiksi uskottuja totuuksia isyydestä ja johtajuudesta, vai ovatko isyyden ja johtajuuden merkitykset mahdollisesti muutoksessa. Miesjohtajien tutkiminen on tärkeää, koska johtajilla on vaikutusvaltaa organisaatioiden käytäntöihin niiden luojina ja hyväksyjinä. Tutkimuksen aineisto tuotettiin haastattelemalla 29 miesjohtajaa. Aineisto analysoitiin diskurssianalyysin keinoin. Tuloksena tulkittiin neljä isyysdiskurssia: ansaitsija-isyys -dis…
On arithmetic sums of Ahlfors-regular sets
2021
Let $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}$ be closed Ahlfors-regular sets with dimensions $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} A =: \alpha$ and $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} B =: \beta$. I prove that $$\dim_{\mathrm{H}} [A + \theta B] \geq \alpha + \beta \cdot \tfrac{1 - \alpha}{2 - \alpha}$$ for all $\theta \in \mathbb{R} \, \setminus \, E$, where $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} E = 0$.
Coronavirus-related health literacy and perceived restrictiveness of protective measures among community-dwelling older persons in Finland
2021
Abstract Background Older people with limited health literacy may encounter difficulties in finding relevant information on COVID-19, understanding its relevance, and complying with recommended protective measures. Complying with such recommendations has required older as well as younger persons to change their daily lives in ways that have reduced their opportunities for engaging in many activities meaningful to them. Aims To find out from what sources older people have obtained information on protective measures, the level of their coronavirus-related health literacy (CHL), and whether CHL is associated with their perceptions of the restrictiveness of coronavirus-related protective measur…
Talviaisten rahapaja : luku- ja kirjoitustaidon hyödyntäminen rahanväärennöstarkoituksiin 1800-luvun puolivälissä
2022
Luku- ja kirjoitustaito muodostivat 1800-luvun puolivälissä sekä yksilön että hänen lähiyhteisönsä näkökulmasta tärkeää aineetonta pääomaa, koska etenkin maaseudulla ne olivat harvinaisia taitoja. Niiden avulla oli mahdollista saavuttaa hitaasti karttuvaa yhteisöllistä luottamusta, rakentaa verkostoja ja saavuttaa henkilökohtaisia etuja, joista monet liittyivät myös taloudelliseen menestykseen. Näitä taitoja saattoi käyttää myös pikavoittojen hankkimiseen yhteisöllisten normien näkökulmasta kyseenalaisin keinoin, esimerkiksi väärentämällä rahaa. Kivijärveläinen Erkki Turpeinen oli taitava rahanväärentäjä, joka osasi hyödyntää luku- ja kirjoitustaitoaan omiin tarkoituksiinsa. Pohdin artikkel…
Intracranial Venous Alteration in Patients With Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Protocol for the Prospective and Observational SAH Multicenter St…
2022
BackgroundArterial vasospasm has been ascribed as the responsible etiology of delayed cerebral infarction in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), but other neurovascular structures may be involved. We present the protocol for a multicenter, prospective, observational study focused on analyzing morphological changes in cerebral veins of patients with aSAH.Methods and AnalysisIn a retrospective arm, we will collect head arterial and venous CT angiograms (CTA) of 50 patients with aSAH and 50 matching healthy controls at days 0–2 and 7–10, comparing morphological venous changes. A multicenter prospective observational study will follow. Patients aged ≥18 years of any gender …
Re-Inhabiting Inner Areas Triggering New Regeneration Trajectories: The Case Study of Sicani in Sicily
2022
The Italian debate on the so-called ‘inner areas’ has received a much-needed boost, following the COVID-19 pandemic, which has further highlighted the differences between metropolitan and inner areas. While the progressive depopulation of inner areas is a worrying phenomenon, the limits of incessant urbanisation and the concentration of settlement and infrastructure policies in large conurbations have become evident. Departing from the framework of the B4R-Branding4Resilience research project of national interest and, by continuing in the furrow initiated by the SNAI, but also surpassing it, the aim of the University of Palermo’s research is to define the requirement for a…
Education for sustainable development : assessing the development impact of environmental education (EE) on Roatan, Honduras
2014
Master thesis in development management - University of Agder 2014 This study explores the effect of environmental education for children on Roatan, Honduras. Environmental education of children is often used as a component in conservation efforts. The continuous and accelerating destruction and overuse of natural resources is a serious threat to humans, the nature and environment we depend on for our survival. There is a need to change these trends and it is believed that increased knowledge about the environmental issues, personal and societal values and attitudes towards nature are components that influence people’s behavior. The focus on educating children is based on the idea that know…
Preliminary Evaluation of Plasmix Compound from Plastics Packaging Waste for Reuse in Bituminous Pavements
2021
Finding an appropriate technical solution for reusing waste plastics is crucial for creating a circular plastic economy. Although mechanical recycling is the best option for recycling post-consumer plastics, some heterogeneous mixed plastics cannot be recycled to produce secondary material due to their very low properties. In this case, alternative routes should be considered in order to limit their disposal as much as possible. Therefore, in order to solve the environmental problems in the landfills of plastic waste recycling, and to improve the mechanical performance of bitumen for road pavement, the reuse of these post-consumer plastic wastes are preliminarily evaluated for the modificat…
The Jäntti approach to adsorption with increasing gas pressure
2002
Jäntti introduced a method of calculating equilibrium adsorption from measurements where the pressure of the gas was varied in a stepwise manner. His aim was to shorten the time necessary for a given measurement. The method was applied to gas/solid systems in which simple adsorption processes occurred and where the number of adsorption sites was infinite. The present paper discusses the case where no adsorption is possible on an already occupied site (Langmuir isotherm) while the number of positions available for adsorption is considered limited. The advantages of using a gas pressure that increases linearly with time are evident for studies with this limitation. It is shown that such meas…
Violent Conflicts and the New Mediatization: The Impact of Social Media on the European Parliamentary Agenda Regarding the Syrian War
2018
As key institutions in Western democracies, parliaments have gained importance regarding foreign affairs issues in recent years. Their increasing role as moral tribunes and discussion forums on conflict prevention and resolution have led to the parliamentarization of international affairs. The examination of the parliamentary agenda and the actors who shape it constitutes a fundamental part of agenda-setting studies as applied to the media and political systems. Among these actors, mass media must be highlighted, taking into account the complex process of information gathering for members of Parliament, particularly in cases related to international violent conflicts. Moreover, in the speci…
