Reflecting on Work Values with Young Unemployed Adults in Finland

2019

In this article, we explore the internal conversations about the work values of young unemployed adults in Finland. We draw on the theoretical concept of internal conversation by Margaret Archer in order to shift the focus from the individual work values to the interplay between subjective concerns and structural circumstances. The data consist of six group interviews conducted among 29 young unemployed adults. We argue that the internal conversations on work values of young unemployed adults constitute five significant concerns: self-realization and opportunity to contribute to society; sufficient income to live independently; social expectations; challenges of finding employment; and unsu…

Attributes of democratic culture as represented in young children’s drawings

2022

Democratic culture refers to a set of values, attitudes, and practices shared by citizens and institutions, without which democracy cannot exist. Preschools and schools have a core role in teaching and transmitting democratic culture as they offer most children their early encounters with the public realm that provides social environments for democratic culture. The aim of this article is to increase knowledge on democratic education of young children and creative means to implement it. The core questions raised are: How do young children understand their classroom social environment and their own role in it? Which of the children’s understandings of their classroom social environment refle…

Biodegradable Metal-Organic Framework-Based Microrobots (MOFBOTs).

2020

Microrobots and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been identified as promising carriers for drug delivery applications. While clinical applications of microrobots are limited by their low drug loading efficiencies and the poor degradability of the materials used for their fabrication, MOFs lack motility and targeted drug delivery capabilities. The combination of these two fields marks the beginning of a new era; MOF‐based small‐scale robots (MOFBOTs) for biomedical applications. Yet, biodegradability is a major hurdle in the field of micro‐ and nanoswimmers including small‐scale robots. Here, a highly integrated MOFBOT that is able to realize magnetic locomotion, drug delivery, and selec…

Experimental investigation on the efficiency of zinc(II) recovery from waste streams by TBP liquid-liquid extraction

2016

In many industrial processes the presence of zinc in the wastewater may represent an obstacle to its high efficient regeneration. This is the case of the treatment of spent pickling solutions aiming the recovery of hydrochloric acid via pyrohydrolysis techniques. Hydrochloric spent pickling solutions from steel processing contain relevant amount of metals such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) that may significantly affect recovery of hydrochloric acid (HCl) through pyrohydrolysis. In fact, although Fe may be recovered as ferric oxide (Fe2O3) and does not have a substantial effect on pyrohydrolysis process, zinc chloride (ZnCl2) evaporating can occlude nozzles and stick to the pyrohydrolysis react…

Recovering of zinc(II) from spent pickling solutions by liquid-liquid extraction

2015

Hydrochloric acid can be successfully recovered from spent pickling liquors with high efficiencies via pyrohydrolysis techniques. In the pickling solution feed, other metallic ions are typically present besides iron (mainly Fe2+) such as zinc(II). In order to avoid undesirable effects, zinc(II) has to be removed, because zinc chloride evaporates and sticks to the reactor walls, as well as it contaminates iron oxides product1. Moreover, zinc recovery is economically affordable because it allows the marketing of some products such as ZnCl2 and ZnSO4. In the present work, liquid-liquid extraction process has been selected to recover zinc(II) from pickling liquors, using suitable extractant age…

Emocionālās inteliģences attīstīšana intervences nodarbībās ar zirgu bērniem vecumposmā 6 – 8 gadi

2018

Maģistra darba mērķis bija noteikt intervences nodarbību ar zirgu devumu un efektivitāti kā nefarmaceitiskai internvencei, lai veicinātu emocionālās inteliģences (EI) attīstību bērniem. Pētījuma dalībnieki bija 3 bērni (meitenes) vecumā 6 – 8 gadi, un viņu vecāki. Tika analizētas treniņu dienasgrāmatas par to, kā var veicināt EI attīstību; tika veiktas strukturētas intervijas ar vecākiem. Rezultāti atspoguļoja iespējamo EI attīstību intervences nodarībās ar zirgu caur palielinātu līmeni pamatspējās: empātija, paškontrole, motivācija, sociālās prasmes, pašapziņa, kā arī spēju pārvarēt identificētās kautrīguma pazīmes. Tika izstrādāta pašvērtējuma forma bērniem, kas apmeklē intervences nodarb…

La posizione del terzo nel diritto delle obbligazioni. Uno studio evolutivo-comparato dal diritto romano ai più recenti strumenti di tutela, con part…

Lʼindividuazione di un filo conduttore che possa aiutare ad individuare lo sviluppo e i processi storici che hanno interessato la tutela e la protezione del terzo, a partire dal modo in cui il problema ha trovato configurazione in diritto romano, ammesso che si possa riconoscere che ne abbia escogitata una, sino allʼattuale profilarsi delle questioni teorico-dogmatiche sul punto, se da un lato appare senza dubbio come un problema stimolante e ricco di spunti, dallʼaltro si presta senza dubbio a concretizzare quei problemi e quei dubbi a cui si è appena fatto riferimento. Consapevoli di questo genere di dilemmi, nellʼaffrontare lʼargomento in oggetto si è quindi cercato di adottare un metodo…

Inferring phytoplankton community composition with a fatty acid mixing model

2015

Abstract. The taxon specificity of fatty acid composition in algal classes suggests that fatty acids could be used as chemotaxonomic markers for phytoplankton composition. The applicability of phospholipid-derived fatty acids as chemotaxonomic markers for phytoplankton composition was evaluated by using a Bayesian fatty acid-based mixing model. Fatty acid profiles from monocultures of chlorophytes, cyanobacteria, diatoms, euglenoids, dinoflagellates, raphidophyte, cryptophytes and chrysophytes were used as a reference library to infer phytoplankton community composition in five moderately humic, large boreal lakes in three different seasons (spring, summer and fall). The phytoplankton commu…
