Enroling around : Reconfiguring place and space in the wake of a new reception centre in a small rural town
2022
The paper examines how a small rural town Kauhava, Finland, is reconfigured in the wake of a reception centre being established. Drawing on the conceptual toolbox of the sociology of associations, we find that regardless of attitudes towards asylum seekers, people springing into action and enroling others leads to the problematisation and intensification of place. This involves turning public and private spaces into contested places. Competing definitions of community and identity emerge. While new identities are configured, new associations and ways of linking actors and places together also take form. The paper examines how the micropolitics of place and belonging are carried out in pract…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: The origin and evolution of s-process elements
2018
Context. Several works have found an increase of the abundances of the s-process neutron-capture elements in the youngest Galactic stellar populations. These trends provide important constraints on stellar and Galactic evolution and they need to be confirmed with large and statistically significant samples of stars spanning wide age and distance intervals. Aims. We aim to trace the abundance patterns and the time evolution of five s-process elements - two belonging to the first peak, Y and Zr, and three belonging to the second peak, Ba, La, and Ce - using the Gaia-ESO IDR5 results for open clusters and disc stars. Methods. From the UVES spectra of cluster member stars, we determined the ave…
Gaia-ESO Survey: Global properties of clusters Trumpler 14 and 16 in the Carina nebula
2017
Aims: We present the first extensive spectroscopic study of the global population in star clusters Trumpler 16, Trumpler 14, and Collinder 232 in the Carina nebula, using data from the Gaia-ESO Survey, down to solar-mass stars. Methods: In addition to the standard homogeneous survey data reduction, a special processing was applied here because of the bright nebulosity surrounding Carina stars. Results: We find about 400 good candidate members ranging from OB types down to slightly subsolar masses. About 100 heavily reddened early-type Carina members found here were previously unrecognized or poorly classified, including two candidate O stars and several candidate Herbig Ae/Be stars. Their l…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: Structural and dynamical properties of the young cluster Chamaeleon i
2017
Investigating the physical mechanisms driving the dynamical evolution of young star clusters is fundamental to our understanding of the star formation process and the properties of the Galactic field stars. The young (~2 Myr) and partially embedded cluster Chamaeleon I is one of the closest laboratories for the study of the early stages of star cluster dynamics in a low-density environment. The aim of this work is to study the structural and kinematical properties of this cluster combining parameters from the high-resolution spectroscopic observations of the Gaia-ESO Survey with data from the literature. Our main result is the evidence of a large discrepancy between the velocity dispersion …
The Quantified Athlete: Associations of Wearables for High School Athletes
2018
The adoption of wearable technology in competitive sports can be an advantage to performance and training. Athletes who use personalised data to quantify their performances with the possibilities of sharing with others may use wearables to reinforce the athletic identity. Despite these changes, few studies have actually examined the associations between wearables and developing athletes in their quest for professional sports. Student athletes (n = 437, age = 17y) still in high schools completed a web-based survey about their professional aspirations, athletic identity, and the association with wearables. Wearables were measured by ownership and usage of apps, fitness trackers, or sports wat…
Type 1 Diabetes and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease—The Genetic Link
2021
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) are the most frequent chronic autoimmune diseases worldwide. Several autoimmune endocrine and non-endocrine disorders tend to occur together. T1D and AITD often cluster in individuals and families, seen in the formation of autoimmune polyendocrinopathy (AP). The close relationship between these two diseases is largely explained by sharing a common genetic background. The HLA antigens DQ2 (DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201) and DQ8 (DQA1*0301-DQB1*0302), tightly linked with DR3 and DR4, are the major common genetic predisposition. Moreover, functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (or rare variants) of various genes, such as the cytotoxic T-lym…
Rola serwisu internetowego w promocji działalności towarzystw bibliofilskich
2007
Towarzystwa bibliofilskie, aby rozwijać się w XXI w., muszą dotrzeć do społeczeństwa za pomocą Internetu. Obecnie dużą rolę w propagowaniu działalności na polu miłośnictwa książek odgrywa posiadanie własnego serwisu WWW. W artykule uzasadniono potrzebę promocji towarzystw bibliofilskich w Internecie. Omówiono skuteczność wykorzystania w tym celu serwisu internetowego. Przedstawiono możliwości jego zastosowania w działalności promocyjnej oraz public relations na przykładzie serwisu Rycerskiego Zakonu Bibliofilskiego z Kapitułą Orderu Białego Kruka w Krakowie, który powstał w ramach pracy magisterskiej autorki artykułu. Omówiono projekt serwisu oraz etapy jego tworzenia. Przedstawiono wyniki …
Facilitators of and Barriers to Sustainable Development in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises: A Descriptive Exploratory Study in Romania
2021
In the context of growing concerns regarding the deterioration of the environment and the increase in social inequalities, the concept of sustainability emerged as a response of companies, in order to contribute to community goodwill. The drivers and obstacles for the businesses engaging in sustainable policies have been explored at large by scientific literature. However, research gaps were observed, namely regarding SMEs, that tend to have a less formal and more fragmented approach to sustainability. The goal of our study is to determine the main barriers and facilitators for sustainability that Romanian SMEs face, and the connections between them and with the firms’ characteristics. Our …
Grāmatvedības politikas izpēte Biedrībā “Latvijas Samariešu apvienība”
2018
Maģistra darba mērķis ir balstoties uz sabiedrisko organizāciju grāmatvedības politikas teorētisko aspektu izpēti, konstatēt grāmatvedības politikas nepilnības biedrībā “Latvijas Samariešu apvienība” un izstrādāt priekšlikumus to risināšanai. Maģistra darba izstrādes gaitā autore konstatējusi virkni problēmu, kas saistītas ar regulējošiem normatīvajiem aktiem, kas nosaka grāmatvedības kārtošanu biedrībās, kā arī nepilnības Biedrības “Latvijas Samariešu apvienība” grāmatvedības politikā. Pētījuma rezultātā ir izstrādāti priekšlikumi normatīvo aktu uzlabošanai un Biedrības “Latvijas Samariešu apvienība” grāmatvedības politikas pilnveidošanai.
