Modern Finnish Economic History
2022
The Finnish economy has experienced a relative late growth and catch-up process in relation to many other advanced Western economies. During this growth period, Finland also experienced a rapid structural change from an agrarian society to a developed service society. In a small open economy, the export industries have played a vital role in this development. Over several centuries, the forest industries have had a dominating impact in exports, along with the metal industries; however, the latter, as well as the electronics industry, with Nokia as the flagship company, gained more importance in the late 20th century in aggregate exports. The egalitarian educational system has to a large ext…
The role of personal and relative job performance in promotion decisions
2021
This study employs personnel data from a large university to examine how supervisors utilize information on employees' job performance in promotion decisions. The study shows that better-performing employees are rewarded with promotions as a higher output of peer-reviewed publications and better quality of research output are associated with a higher probability of being promoted. The study also shows that supervisors compare their subordinates' job performance when deciding on promotions: employees who outperform their colleagues in terms of research output and research quality are more likely to be promoted. Subsequently, the study provides evidence to support the key premise of the tourn…

W wiekach XVII i XVIII na południowo-wschodnich terenach Rzeczypospolitej znajdowało się największe na świecie, dynamicznie rozwijające się skupisko ludności żydowskiej. Korzystne warunki zamieszkania zapewniały Żydom przywileje prawne i ekonomiczne oraz opiekę ze strony właścicieli wielkich majątków ziemskich. Egzystencja skupisk ludności wyznania mojżeszowego w stosunkowo niewielkim stopniu była zakłócana przez antyżydowskie działania władz kościelnych, procesy o mordy rytualne oraz wrogość ludności rodzimej (Rusinów). W początkowym okresie powstania Chmielnickiego doszło do wielkiego pogromu Żydów na Ukrainie, Podolu i Wołyniu. Jednak już w latach 60. XVII w. gminy żydowskie na tych tere…
Housing estates in the Baltic countries: the legacy of central planning in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
2019
Nuo 1960 iki 1990 metų Europos gyventojų skaičius nuolat augo, todėl buvo pradėta masinė daugiabučių statyba. Daugiabučiai gyvenamieji namai sudaro reikšmingą bendrojo būsto fondo dalį Vidurio ir Rytų Europoje. Trijose Baltijos šalių sostinėse – Vilniuje, Rygoje ir Taline – 2011 metų duomenimis 58–75% gyventojų buvo įsikūrę dideliuose daugiabučių kvartaluose. Knygos tikslas – pateikti išsamią daugiabučių paveldo apžvalgą. Straipsnių rinkinyje didelis dėmesys skiriamas tokio būsto tipo susiformavimui, iššūkiams ir ateities perspektyvoms. Knyga pateikia naują šios specifines statinių rūšies tipologiją, susijusią su sovietmečio palikimo kompleksiškumu. Įžangoje apžvelgiamos pagrindinės šešiose…
The Commented Walk Method as a Way of Highlighting Precise Daily Mobility Difficulties – A Case Study Focusing on Cognitive or Mental Diseases
2016
Abstract The French Act of 11 February 2005 on equal rights and opportunities, participation and citizenship of people with disabilities highlights the need “for people with disabilities or reduced mobility” to have access to the complete mobility chain of the transport system. This law was initially planned to apply from 2015. Many efforts have been made to improve life for those with physical, visual and, to a lesser extent, hearing impairments. But there is a lot of room for improvement in situations regarding psychological, cognitive and mental impairment. This is largely due to a lack of knowledge on the difficulties experienced by the above when they travel. The national quantitative …
