‘The will to not be empowered (according to your rules)’: Resistance in Finnish participatory social policy
2018
Participation has increasingly become a means and an end for successful and ‘empowering’ social policy. Building on previous governmentality critiques of participatory initiatives, this article investigates practices of resistance in the context of Finnish participatory social policy. I adopt a Foucauldian counter-conducts approach as my lens to study critical speech as a form of resistance in initiatives that invite marginalised people as ‘experts-by-experience’ in social welfare organisations. I illustrate how practices of governing and resistance are intertwined and mutually dependent in a much subtler and more practical manner than allows the often-used analytical dichotomy between domi…
Suomalaisen sosiaalipolitiikan ja liikuntapolitiikan yhtenevät päämäärät 1920-80-luvuilla
2018
Artikkelin tavoitteena on kuvailla sosiaalipolitiikan ja liikuntapolitiikan suhdetta sekä suhteessa tapahtuneita muutoksia suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa 1920–80-luvuilla. Keskeisiä tutkimuskysymyksiä ovat (1) millaista samansuuntaista tavoitteellisuutta sosiaalipolitiikassa ja liikuntapolitiikassa on ilmennyt sekä (2) miten sosiaali- ja liikuntapoliittiset käsitykset politiikkalohkojen toimijoista ja toimijasuhteista ovat muuttuneet eri aikakausilla. Artikkelilla luodaan myös ymmärrystä väestön hyvinvoinnin edistämiseen liittyvän poikkihallinnollisen ja sektorirajat ylittävän yhteistyön historiasta sekä yhteistyöhön eri aikakausilla vaikuttaneista tekijöistä. Tutkimusmenetelmä on integroiva …
The Human Right to Social Security and Its Impact on Socio-Political Action in Germany and Finland
2017
Social human rights have rarely been given attention in social work research or comparative studies on welfare states. The paper aims at filling the gap by analysing the conception of human beings inherent in human rights and in unemployment policy documents in Germany and Finland. Its focus lies on the right to social security, a central norm of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The main question is what impact does the right to social security have on socio-political action in Germany and Finland. The results of the analysis, which was based on the objective hermeneutics, revealed a structural similarity between the conceptions of human beings in both cou…

Numerical methods for a nonlinear impact model: A comparative study with closed-form corrections
2011
A physically based impact model-already known and exploited in the field of sound synthesis-is studied using both analytical tools and numerical simulations. It is shown that the Hamiltonian of a physical system composed of a mass impacting on a wall can be expressed analytically as a function of the mass velocity during contact. Moreover, an efficient and accurate approximation for the mass outbound velocity is presented, which allows to estimate the Hamiltonian at the end of the contact. Analytical results are then compared to numerical simulations obtained by discretizing the system with several numerical methods. It is shown that, for some regions of the parameter space, the trajectorie…
Assessing risk perception over recidivist traffic offenders from a multi-group approach: how gendered could it be?
2022
ABSTRACT Objective: The core aim of this study was to examine the predictive role of demographic, psychosocial and driving features of Spanish drivers on their risk perception over recidivist traffic offenders, focusing on gender as a key differentiating factor. Method: For this cross-sectional study, it was analyzed the data gathered from a nationwide sample of 1,711 licensed drivers from the 17 regions of Spain (49% females, 51% males) with a mean age of 40.07 years, responding to a telephone-based interview on road safety issues. Demographic, driving-related and psychosocial factors were comparatively analyzed through robust tests and a bias-corrected MGSEM (Multi-Group Structural Equati…
La pluralità dello spazio pubblico: una analisi ricognitiva nel centro storico di Palermo
2011
La letteratura inerente allo sviluppo urbano moderno e postmoderno, da Michel Foucault a Henri Lefebvre, ha aperto un dibattito in merito alla concezione classica di apertura/accessibilità dello spazio pubblico, evidenziando aspetti quali la esclusione spaziale, la sorveglianza e il controllo sociale, la questione del “diritto alla città”. Si assiste ad una progressiva riduzione o sostituzione dello spazio pubblico – privatizzato, fortificato, commercializzato – di cui risentono in primis i soggetti più deboli e marginali. Talvolta emergono nuove forme di produzione sociale dello spazio, ad esempio tramite riappropriazione informale di “luoghi di scarto”. Il lavoro di ricerca ha focalizzato…
La inscripción de la ciudadanía en la cuba neocolonial (1902-1919) : Sucinta referencia histórico-jurídica
2021
This historical-legal account brieflycovering 17 years of civil registration activity carried out during the neocolonial period by Municipal Judges and Secretaries, specifically that related to registration of Cuban citizens)becomes considerably relevant to understand and to godeeper into the origins of this complex process, as well asto achieve a re-encounter with the history of those who passed through those times, currently a hidden history in the shadows of Civil Registration offices, but still alive and thus allowing us to find all the beauty that there was in it.
