Evoluution merkityksistä ja niiden tuottamasta ymmärryksestä : erityistarkastelussa geenien ja kulttuurin rinnakkaisevoluutio

2014

Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa käsitellään tieteenfilosofisella otteella Robert Boydin ja Peter Richersonin teoriaa geenien ja kulttuurin rinnakkaisevoluutiosta. Tarkemmin kyse on teoriassa esiintyvien evoluutio -käsitteen eri merkitysten erittelystä ja selvittämisestä sekä edelleen kyseisten evoluution eri merkitysten avulla tuotetun ymmärryksen jäsentämisestä ja arvioimisesta. Liikkeelle lähdetään biologisen evoluution ja darvinistisen evoluutioteorian esittelystä. Tarkoitus on saavuttaa perusymmärrys evoluutiosta sen nykymaailmassa ensisijaisessa kontekstissa mukaan lukien tyypilliset tavat tutkia ihmisen ominaisuuksien evolutiivista kehitystä. Tämän jälkeen evoluutio irrotetaan biologias…

Perception-based pricing strategies for mobile services in customer marketing context

2004

Traditional pricing research has focused on analysing price setting procedures and cost or competition based pricing strategies. Customer- or perception-oriented pricing strategies have been left on little attention among business practitioners and academics. The need for development and investigation of these new pricing strategies has occurred after the emergence of new electronic and mobile services; traditional pricing strategies have resulted unsatisfactory results. With this study we have concentrated on elucidating the unobserved fields of perception-based pricing in mobile services business. The focal point of the study consists of analyses of the customers’ price perceptions of mob…

How customer knowledge affects exploration : generating, guiding, and gatekeeping

2021

The importance of understanding customers in order to sustain the long-term success of the company has been claimed by academics and practitioners for decades, to the point that the claim has turned into a truism. And still, the role of customer knowledge in organizational renewal, especially via explorative new product development (NPD), remains ambiguous. While existing literature generally emphasizes the value of customer knowledge, critics argue that a strong customer focus can also de-motivate and misguide exploration. This study adds clarity to our understanding of this tension by drawing from an intensive analysis of the corporate archives of a rapidly growing high-tech company. The …

Deux garçons face aux circonstances angoissantes : Oscar et Joseph dans Oscar et la dame rose et L'enfant de Noé d'Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt

2015

Tutkielman tavoitteena oli tarkastella kahta Éric-Emmanuel Schmittin pienoisromaania, Oscar et la dame rose ja L'enfant de Noé, analysoimalla teosten tematiikkaa ja niissä käytettyjä kirjallisia keinoja. Teokset kuuluvat kirjailijan eri uskontoja käsittelevään sarjaan Le cycle de l'invisible. Johdannossa esittelen kirjailijan käsittelemiä aiheita ja teemoja, joita esiintyy myös tutkimissani teoksissa. Niiden tematiikka nousee päähenkilöiden ahdistavasta todellisuudesta: 10-vuotias Oscar sairastaa leukemiaa ja 7-vuotias juutalainen Joseph pakenee natseja. Oscarin tarina kuvaa pojan kahtatoista viimeistä päivää ennen kuolemaa. Josephin tarinassa kuoleman uhka laajenee koskemaan kokonaista kan…

Customers' Perceived Risk and Trust in Using Mobile Money Services—an Empirical Study of Ghana

2019

Although mobile money (MM) has been explored in the existing literature, the roles of trust and risk in MM use have received little attention from researchers. Furthermore, many of the existing studies have treated these constructs as unidimensional. The extant literature also shows that perceived risk has received little attention from researchers who have conducted studies on MM. Thus, the objective of this study is to examine the roles of trust and perceived risk in customers' intent to adopt MM services in Ghana. Both trust and perceived risk were broken down into various dimensions. The study involved 671 respondents who were selected via an intercept approach and an online survey. Str…

Phase-selective low molecular weight organogelators derived from allylated D-mannose

2022

In the last decades, synthesis and design of low molecular weight organogelators has gained increasing attention due to their versatile use in, for example, cosmetics, biomedicine and oil spill remediation. In this work, three potential gelators have been prepared from allylated d-mannose. Both the gelators and the corresponding gels formed were thoroughly characterized by crystallography, FTIR spectroscopy, SEM, rheometry and NMR spectroscopy, in solution and in solid state. The results showed that two of the compounds phase-selectively form gels with hydrocarbon solvents. The most promising gelator compound is alkene terminated, with the unsaturated end functionality not critical for gel …
