Friends, academic achievement, and school engagement during adolescence : A social network approach to peer influence and selection effects
2018
Abstract Peers become increasingly important socializing agents for academic behaviors and attitudes during adolescence. This study investigated peer influence and selection effects on adolescents' emotional (i.e., flow in schoolwork, school burnout, school value), cognitive (i.e., school effort), and behavioral (i.e., truancy) engagement in school. A social network approach was used to examine students of post-comprehensive education in Finland (N = 1419; mean age = 16). Students were asked to nominate peers to generate peer networks and to describe their own school engagement at two time points (one year apart). Network analyses revealed that the degree to which peer influence and selecti…
Network-based indices of individual and collective advising impacts in mathematics
2020
AbstractAdvising and mentoring Ph.D. students is an increasingly important aspect of the academic profession. We define and interpret a family of metrics (collectively referred to as “a-indices”) that can potentially be applied to “ranking academic advisors” using the academic genealogical records of scientists, with the emphasis on taking into account not only the number of students advised by an individual, but also subsequent academic advising records of those students. We also define and calculate the extensions of the proposed indices that account for student co-advising (referred to as “adjusted a-indices”). In addition, we extend some of the proposed metrics to ranking universities a…
The effect of early career social capital on long-term income development in Finland
2020
PurposeIn this study, the authors examine whether social capital embedded in individuals' social networks is connected to employees' long-term income development in Finland.Design/methodology/approachAnalyses are based on 25–35-year-old employees from the Finnish Living Conditions Survey of 1994 combined with register data on earned incomes from 1995 to 2016. The authors used questions addressing the frequency of meeting parents or siblings, spending free time with co-workers and participation in associational, civic or other societal activities as measures of the extent of network capital. Ordered logistic model was used to examine whether the size and composition of social networks differ…
Elites in Finnish energy policy and biogas as a motor vehicle fuel
2011
The intent of this research was to find out what is the state of Finnish energy policy when reviewing it from the vantage point of biogas as a motor vehicle fuel. It seemed, according to previous research, that Finnish energy policy is lead by an elite and that there was a lack in transparency of energy policy. Therefore, in addition to researching the question of transparency and the possible elite structure, the research questions were: Who are these elites? Why do they exist and what makes others not members of the elite? Within what context do they exist? The question “Who?” will define the elite structure in Finland. “Why?” will tell us why this elite structure exists, thus giving poss…
Imagem corporal positiva e redes sociais na população adulta da área metropolitana de Buenos Aires
2021
Resumen: La imagen corporal positiva presenta una función protectora preeminente ante los medios de comunicación actuales, sin embargo, a la fecha no se cuenta con estudios que la vinculen con las redes sociales.

La muestra contó con 180 participantes, 94 varones (52.2 %) y 86 mujeres (47.8 %), edades de 18 a 65 años (M = 31.03; DE = 13.34).

El usufructo de acciones y participaciones sociales
2018
El propósito de este trabajo es estudiar el usufructo de acciones y participaciones sociales. Se trata de una institución cuya importancia no puede ser minimizada, desde el punto y hora de que el legislador español (común y foral) hace una amplísima utilización del usufructo en las instituciones familiares y sucesorias. Ello determina que todos los días nazcan multitud de estos derechos, desde el punto y hora del conocido fenómeno del incremento de la riqueza mobiliaria de las personas y de las familias. En efecto, no cabe desconocer que si bien en otros tiempos la riqueza era fundamentalmente inmobiliaria o pecuniaria, en los nuestros el ahorro de los particulares se canaliza de forma dete…

The discursive construction of leader identity: Tim Cook in a broadcast interview
2016
Tämän tutkimuksen aiheena on tutkia johtajaidentiteetin rakentumista diskursiivisesta näkökulmasta. Sosiolingvistisen tutkimussuuntauksen piirissä identiteetin rakentuminen nähdään kielellisenä prosessina: identiteetti rakentuu vuorovaikutuksessa diskursiivisten prosessien kautta. Tätä taustaa vasten tavoitteena on selvittää, kuinka Applen toimitusjohtaja Tim Cookin johtajaidentiteetti rakentuu haastattelutilanteessa erilaisten kielellisten keinojen kautta. Tutkimuksen keskiössä ovat erityisesti kielellisen asemoinnin keinot eli erilaisten lyhyt- ja pidempiaikaisten identiteettiasemien osoittaminen niin Cookin itsensä kuin haastattelijan toimesta. Teoreettinen viitekehys koostui Bucholtzin …
El consum recreatiu d'esteroides anabolitzants: una perspectiva sociològica
2013
The present study aims to provide a sociological overview of anabolic steroid use in Valencia (Spain), with particular attention to social factors that promote and sustain the recreational use of this drug. We consider not only the extensively documented health risks, but also the social determinants associated with its use. The lack of studies, both in the European and Valencian contexts, which describe the extension and consumption patterns of anabolic steroids among young people, has inspired us to portray the sociological characteristics of the recreational anabolic steroid user, taking the main conceptual tools of the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu as a central reference point. Following …
