Dreams and Themes in the texts of the “Reaalifantasia” group : Unnatural Minds in Anne Leinonen’s Viivamaalari and J. Pekka Mäkelä’s Muurahaispuu
2017
This article deals with the unnaturally functioning and frame-breaking dreams and the unnatural minds they are connected to in the novels Viivamaalari (2013) by Anne Leinonen and Muurahaispuu (2012) by J. Pekka Mäkelä. The dreams in the novels are discussed as examples of the poetics and thematics of Reaalifantasia, a young Finnish group of authors who in their writings combine fantasy elements with features of other genres. These minds and dreams as well as the ideologically charged themes they foreground are analyzed using the concepts and viewpoints of unnatural narratology. peerReviewed

“I’m just being a difficult LoTR hardcore fan” : Tolkien Fans’ Actions and Reactions to Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit Trilogy
2022
Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy has been debated and discussed widely. Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien have had strong opinions about the films, and I believe that their online conversations about the movies call for a closer look. I am particularly interested in Tolkien fans’ reactions to the films; the reasons for these reactions; and the actions they provoked. Some fans loved the possibility of revisiting Middle-earth. They drew a clear distinction between the book and the movies, showing understanding towards the changes and additions required by the adaptation process. Pitted against them were the fans who experienced the films negatively. This group did not differentiate between the movies …
The effects of perceived value, satisfaction, and advertising on share of wallet and word of mouth in a retailing context
2016
Customer loyalty as a topic has been of interest to managers and researchers for several decades. There are a few antecedents for explaining customer loyalty in marketing literature, and researchers have discussed the consequences of loyalty. The reason for interest toward loyalty is the wide assumption that loyal customers have higher retention rates, they buy more, and are more willing to share by word of mouth (WOM) and electronic WOM (eWOM). This is why loyalty is linked to companies' financial performance. The aim of this study was to investigate perceived value (PEVA) and customer satisfaction as the antecedents of loyalty outcomes, such as share of wallet (SOW) and WOM in a retailing…

"Minäkö asiantuntija?" : varhaiskasvatuksen asiantuntijan merkitysperspektiivin ja identiteetin rakentuminen
2007
Varhaiskasvatuksen opiskelijat kehittävät asiantuntijuuttaan monipuolisesti, yksilöllisesti ja erilaisesti. Yhteiskunnallisesti suuntautunut opiskelija painottaa asiantuntijan yhteiskunnallista vaikuttamista ja tehtäväänsä yhteiskunnallisen muutoksen ja muuttuvien työtehtävien keskellä. Asiantuntijuudessaan yhteisöllisesti suuntautuneet opiskelijat tähdentävät pienten lasten kasvatus- ja opetustyötä, kasvatusyhteisön kehittämistä ja yhteisössä toimimista. Persoonallinen tietämys ja itsetuntemuksen syventäminen ovat taas tärkeitä niillä opiskelijoilla, jotka kehittävät asiantuntijuuttaan yksilölliseen suuntaan. Nämä tiedot käyvät ilmi Päivi Kupilan väitöksestä, jossa hän tutki varhaiskasvatu…
