Organizational dissent and workplace freedom of speech : a qualitative study of young professional intra-urban migrant workers in Shanghai
2014
Chinese economy reform triggered the largest domestic labor migration in human history. These 150 million migrant workers are treated as second-rate citizens in urban cities because of the discriminatory household registration system: Hukou. Previous studies have predominantly focused on blue-collar migrants while the professional workers, the potential permanent city dwellers, received little attention. This study attempts to fill this gap by exploring the perception of workplace freedom and preference of dissent strategy among professional migrant workers in Shanghai. Eight young and well-educated migrants participated in this study through semi-structured online interviews. This study no…
Moving to become healthier?
2020
This paper examines individuals’ health and whether it improves when individuals move from a region with poorer health on average to a region with better health on average. We used data from Finland, which is a country with large regional differences in health behaviours and outcomes. We found no evidence that moving from a less healthy region to a healthier region would have any significant effect on the health of individuals who move compared with the health of other individuals. We also examined the potential heterogeneity in the analysed relationships. We found evidence of a relationship between moving itself and health improvements, but this generally true only for our subsample of ind…
An exploration of organization dissent and workplace freedom of speech among young professional intra-urban migrants in Shanghai
2017
This study explores the factors influencing the dissent behavior and perceptions of workplace freedom of speech among young Chinese professionals who are intra-urban migrants. It attempts to grasp the role of the Chinese household registration system, referred to as Hukou, in migrants’ professional and everyday life. Fourteen interviews were conducted with young, well-educated intra-urban migrants who possessed middle-income jobs but did not possess a Shanghai registration (Hukou). This study reveals that traditional Confucian values are significant in shaping Chinese migrant workers’ expressions of dissent and perceptions of workplace freedom of speech. Findings from this study demonstrate…
The effect of education on migration: evidence from school reform
2010
A polytechnic, higher education reform took place in Finland in the 1990s. It gradually transformed former vocational colleges into polytechnics and expanded higher education to all Finnish regions. We implement instrumental variables estimators that exploit the exogenous variation in the regional availability of polytechnic education together with matriculation exam scores. Our IV results show that polytechnic graduates have a higher migration probability than those of vocational college graduates. However, a master’s degree did not increase migration propensity in comparison with a polytechnic degree. We also find that an increase in the availability of polytechnic education did not reduc…
Jättikatkan (Gammaracanthus lacustris) ja jäännehalkoisjalkaisen (Mysis relicta) koko- ja tiheysjakaumat Saimaan Paasivedellä
2010
Reliktisten makroäyriäisten elintapoja on tutkittu maailmanlaajuisestikin hämmästyttävän vähän eikä etenkään elinympäristönsä suhteen vaativana pidetystä jättikatkasta (Gammaracanthus lacustris) ole tehty julkaisuja juuri lainkaan. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää lajin syvyyskohtaisia koko-, tiheys- ja sukupuolijakaumia sekä eri vuosien ja alueiden välisiä eroja Saimaan Paasivedellä. Lokakuussa 2006 – 2008 30 m alapuolisista vesikerroksista otetuista näytteistä saatiin samalla tietoa myös jäännehalkoisjalkaisen (Mysis relicta) vertikaalijakaumista samoissa olosuhteissa. Myös oka- (Pallaseopsis quadrispinosa) ja valkokatkaa (Monoporeia affinis) tavattiin joitakin yksilöitä. Mahdollises…
Maassamuutto muovaa Suomea uudennäköiseksi : alhainen lähtömuutto avainasemassa alueen kasvussa
2019
Pitkään jatkunut kaupungistuminen on kiihtynyt viime vuosina. Tällä hetkellä pärjäävät vain suuret kaupunkiseudut. Muuttoliike on tärkeässä roolissa tässä kehityksessä. Kaikilta alueilta muutetaan pois ja kaikille alueille muutetaan, mutta muuttovoittoa saavat vain harvat alueet. Alhainen lähtömuutto on avainasemassa. Helsingin seutu ja monipuoliset korkeakouluseudut kasvavat, koska niiltä muutetaan vain vähän pois. Väkimäärään suhteutettu tulomuutto jää Helsingin seudulla yllättävän pieneksi, mutta seutu kasvaa nopeimmin, koska sen lähtömuutto on vielä pienempää. Pitovoima ratkaisee. nonPeerReviewed

Adverse Effects of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids: A Literature Review
2021
Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AASs) are a large group of molecules including endogenously produced androgens, such as testosterone, as well as synthetically manufactured derivatives. AAS use is widespread due to their ability to improve muscle growth for aesthetic purposes and athletes’ performance, minimizing androgenic effects. AAS use is very popular and 1–3% of US inhabitants have been estimated to be AAS users. However, AASs have side effects, involving all organs, tissues and body functions, especially long-term toxicity involving the cardiovascular system and the reproductive system, thereby, their abuse is considered a public health issue. The aim of the proposed review is to highli…
