Sport Clubs in Spain
2015
Spain is a decentralised state with an approximate population of 47.1 million. It is a European Union member state since 1986 and the 13th largest economy in the world. According to the latest survey of sporting habits conducted in Spain (2010), 19 % of people over the age of 15 engage in some kind of sport or physical activity through a sports club or association. The corresponding figures in previous surveys were 24 % in 2005 and 25 % in 2000. Although the number of sports clubs in Spain has increased over the last 10 years, there has been an even greater rise in the number of people taking up recreational sport or physical activity without being formally linked to any sports federation o…
A new child-centered approach to the organization of extra-curricular activities in Finnish schools
2017
Extracurricular activities are currently included in Finnish school legislation, but their organization is fragmented. History: Club activities at school led by teachers have been arranged since 1947 on extra pay, but their amount and content have depended on available funding and often on teachers’ willingness to lead club activities. Schools have also had a possibility to use cultural or sport operators. However, system has preferred teacher-led club activities. A dramatic change occurred in the early 1990s when economic recession reduced extra funding for schools and day care. Consequently, club activities after school hours were reduced to less than half, and afternoon care services wit…
Non-elite conceptions of Europe: Europe as reference frame in English football fan discussions
2020
International audience; Discursive approaches to Europe usually focus on elite discourses and target a narrow political understanding of Europe. Against the backdrop of rising Euroscepticism and the known elite-mass divide on issues of European identity, it seems important to shift the focus toward non-elite discourses on Europe. Given that club football is largely Europeanised (player markets, continent-wide club competitions and broadcasting of matches), we analyse how fans of the English Premier League club Manchester United discursively construct ‘Europe’ in relation to their sport. Our main research question aims at identifying how identifications of fans have been unconsciously Europe…
Global and local interactions in football: Comparing the development paths of Finland and Hungary
2018
The aim of this study is to increase understanding of football’s global and local contexts. More specifically, the development paths of Finnish and Hungarian football are explored and compared in four research articles from different perspectives within a global framework. These viewpoints, in addition to a historical-sociological overview in the article I, cover closely interrelated phenomena observable in the landscape of top-level football: the organization of elite youth football, the professionalization of players and the development of football stadiums. The main research question of the study is as follows: In what way have glocal interactions in men’s football shaped the development…
Europeanised identifications among football fans. The analysis of discussions in online message boards.
2021
International audience; Across Europe, national professional football leagues have seen increasing numbers of players from other EU states, while the Champions League and the Europa League have become a focal point for many teams. This article seeks to investigate how far this Europeanisation on the organisational level of football is reflected in identities and discourses of fans. We develop a framework to analyse Europeanisation of identities among football fans. In the empirical part we conduct a qualitative content analysis of fan discussions on publicly available message boards among fans of four first league teams in England and Austria. Our empirical findings indicate that fans’ iden…

Posługa kapelana w klubie piłkarskim
2018
Sport w ostatnim czasie staje się nieodłączną częścią kultury, a organizacje różnego rodzaju imprez sportowych przyciągają tłumy. Na współczesnych sportowcach rywalizujących o najwyższe cele wywiera się coraz większą presję wyniku. Jest to bardzo widoczne w klubach piłkarskich. Zawodnicy potrzebują wsparcia psychicznego, ale też tego, które płynie z wiary w Boga. Dlatego przy wielu piłkarskich klubach w Polsce istnieje instytucja kapelana. Jest nim ksiądz, który zazwyczaj sam jest zagorzałym kibicem, a poprzez swą posługę pastoralną potrafi przybliżyć Boga piłkarzom, działaczom i kibicom.

The three wives problem and Shapley value
2015
We examine the Talmudic three wives problem, which is a generalization of the Talmudic contested garment problem solved by Aumann and Maschler (1985) using coalitional procedure. This problem has many practical applications. In an attempt to unify all Talmudic methods, Guiasu (2010, 2011) asserts that it can be explained in terms of “run-to-the-bank”, that is, of Shapley value in a “cumulative game”. It can be challenged because the coalitional procedure yields the same result as the nucleolus, which corresponds to a “dual game”. As Guiasu's solution is paradoxical (it has all the appearances of truth), my contribution consists in explaining the concepts, particularly truncation, that play …
Haluttu, menestyvä ja laadukas seura : tapaustutkimus Jyväskylän Naisvoimistelijoiden seuratoiminnan muutoksesta
2017
Suomalainen liikunta- ja urheiluseuratoiminta on pitkälti perustunut vapaaehtoisuuteen. Yhteiskunnan muutokset, valtiovallan odotukset ja seuran jäsenten määrän kasvaminen ovat johtaneet tilanteeseen, jossa ammattilaisen palkkaaminen on tullut monelle seuralle tarpeelliseksi. Ihmiset haluavat rahoilleen vastineeksi laatua ja erilaisia palveluita. Tämä muutos on mahdollistanut urheilutoiminnan tuotteistamisen ja näkyy seurojen toimintakulttuurin muutoksena. Liikunta- ja urheiluseuroja kohtaan on syntynyt paineita ammattimaistaa toimintaa laatuvaatimusten ja kuluttamiseen liittyvien muutosten seurauksena. Tässä tutkimuksessa lähdin selvittämään millaisia muutoksia ammattimaistuminen on tuonut…
