Monitoring a meat-free pledge with smartphones:An experimental study
2020
Pledges are a popular strategy to encourage meat reduction, though experimental studies of their efficacy are lacking. Three-hundred and twenty-five participants from three different countries (UK, Germany, Australia) were randomly assigned to pledge 28 days meat-free or not, and their behavior was tracked via smartphones. Participants answered daily surveys regarding their eating behavior, meat cravings, and shared photos of their meals. Baseline data was collected prior to the pledge, after the 28 days, and one-month post-intervention. Participants assigned to the pledge condition ate less meat across the 28 days, compared to control participants. Meat reductions, observed at outtake, did…
Nationalism and Internationalism Reconciled : British Concepts for a New World Order during and after the World Wars
2018
The carnage of World War I gave rise to liberal visions for a new world order with democratized foreign policy and informed international public opinion. Conservatives emphasized continuity in national sovereignty, while socialists focused on the interests of the working class. While British diplomacy in the construction of the League of Nations has been widely discussed, we focus on contemporary uses of nationalism and internationalism in parliamentary and press debates that are more ideological. We also examine how failed internationalist visions influenced uses of these concepts during World War II, supporting alternative organizational solutions, caution with the rhetoric of democracy a…

German and British parliaments and conceptions of the global climate threat during the United Nation Earth Summit of 1992
2019
Ever since the beginning of international climate conservation politics there has been variation across nations in political traditions in debating the climate issue. Political decision-makers have interpreted the scientific findings on global warming with different emphases, thereby giving rise to variation in views on preferred national or international solutions. These tensions first became evident before and during the Earth Summit of the United Nations in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, when the United Nations Climate Change Convention was prepared and eventually signed. This article discusses the historical background of international climate conservation politics and illustrates the tensions…

Tutkielma selvittää Iso-Britannian ja Saksan poliittisten järjestelmien arvioimista ja mielikuvien luomista pilakuvissa 1900-luvun alun poliittisesti epävakaissa oloissa. Pilakuvien kautta piirtäjät toivat ilmi näkemyksiä ajan puolueista ja poliitikoista, näin vahvistaen olemassa olevia näkemyksiä, luoden uusia mielikuvia ja esittäen kritiikkiä. Tutkimuskohteina ovat valtion monarkkia, hallitusta ja poliittisia puolueita käsittelevät pilakuvat. Käyttämällä vertailevaa kuva-analyysiä, selvitetään minkälaisia käsityksiä valtioiden porvaristolle esitetään heidän poliittisista järjestelmistään ja järjestelmän sisäisten instituutioiden keskinäisestä toiminnasta. Molemmissa valtioissa monarkia, h…
Like ships passing in the night? Nonstandard work schedules and spousal satisfaction in Finland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom
2020
This study examined the associations of work schedules and spousal satisfaction among Finnish (n = 347), Dutch (n = 304) and British (n = 337) parents. In addition to comparing parents with nonstandard schedule with parents in regular day work, the study examined separately the roles played in spousal satisfaction of morning, evening, night and weekend work and other working time-related variables (working hours, changes in and influence over one’s work schedules and spouse’s work schedule). The three-country data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with a multigroup procedure in Mplus. Little evidence for negative associations of work schedules and related factors with spousal…
