Removal of ammonium ions from aqueous solutions using alkali-activated analcime as sorbent
2023
Five alkali-activated analcime (ANA) sorbents (ANA-MK 1, ANA 2, ANA 3, ANA-MK 4, and ANA-MK 5) were developed for ammonium (NH4+) ion removal. Acid treatment and calcination were used as pre-treatments for analcime, and metakaolin (MK) was used as a blending agent in three sorbents. Sorption experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of sorbent dosage (1–20 g L−1), initial NH4+ ion concentration (5–1000 g L−1), and contact time (1 min–24 h). ANA-MK 1, ANA 2, and ANA-MK 4 were the most efficient sorbents for NH4+ ion removal, with a maximum experimental sorption uptake of 29.79, 26.00, and 22.24 mg g−1, respectively. ANA 3 and ANA-MK 5 demonstrated…
Understanding McDonald's Among the "World’s Most Ethical Companies"
2008
The animal welfare policies and related public communication initiatives of McDonald’s corporation are examined in the context of the organization being named as one of the world’s most ethical organizations. The result is a framework for understanding how McDonald’s and similar organizations could warrant the status of a most ethical company. Specifically, the narrative strength of the company’s articulation of an animal welfare policy and its ongoing promotion as a legitimizing strategy illustrate how McDonald’s might address the social and ethical issues it encounters through its operations and how its stakeholding publics are likely to respond. By maintaining narrative strength in commu…
Who Is Ill When a Society Is Ill?
2021
This chapter gives an overview of four different approaches to social pathologies, which are present in contemporary critical social theory, and analyses their social-ontological commitments. The different approaches can be divided into two camps. The ‘thin sense’ of social pathology focuses on social wrongs, and the socially caused and pervasive suffering of individuals. The ‘thick sense’ of social pathology, in turn, claims that society is its own entity, or a whole, which can be ill. This chapter discloses the ontological commitments behind different conceptions of social pathology in order to highlight what difference these commitments make in relation to the critical potential of socia…

Förlorad värdighet : en studie av mödrars upplevelser av barnets omhändertagande
2014
Tutkielma on kohdistettu lastensuojelussa tehtävään sosiaalityöhön. Tutkimus keskittyy biologisten äitien kokemuksiin lastensa huostaanotoista. Tutkimus on aineistolähtöinen ja rakentuu viiden äidin kertomuksesta lapsensa huostaanotosta. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on tarkastella äidin asemaa auttamisjärjestelmässä, kun lapsi on huostaan otettu, äitien kokemuksista käsin. Empiirisen aineiston hankinnassa on käytetty syvähaastattelua. Aineiston analyysissa on otettu avuksi sekä kvalitatiivista aineistolähtöistä sisällönanalyysiä että narratiivista analyysiä. Tutkielman tutkimusote on narratiivinen ja tutkimuksen käsitys tiedontuotannosta ja kertomuksista perustuvat sosiaaliseen konstruktionism…
