The use of the Dark Web as a COVID-19 information source : A three-country study

2022

The Dark Web (i.e., the anonymous web or Darknet) contains potentially harmful COVID-19-related information and content such as conspiracy theories and forged certificates. The Dark Web may particularly attract individuals who are suspicious about the pandemic, but there is no research concerning the use of the Dark Web as a COVID-19 information source. In this study, we investigated the role of COVID-19 skepticism, online activities, and loneliness in the use of the Dark Web platforms as a COVID-19 information source. The data (N = 3000) were gathered in April 2021 from 18 to 75-year-old respondents from Finland (n = 1000), Sweden (n = 1000) and the United Kingdom (n = 1000). The responden…

Social media users in search of ‘facts’: the Trade Union House fire case

2021

What factors influence users to believe the stories they find in social media, and what role do emotions play for users in concluding that a particular fact is ‘true’? This article examines one aspect of emotionalized communication in social networks in an information war context, namely, how social network users make decisions about the reliability of the information they receive. We employ a qualitative study of a single case – a discussion among Russian-speaking Livejournal.com and Facebook.com users of a tragic incident in Ukraine – the deadly fire that took place in the Odessa Trade Union House on 2 May, 2014. The relevancy of this case consists in how, for all its uniqueness as a trag…

Opiskelijoiden verkko-oppimisympäristössä antamat vertaispalautteet tarkastelussa : mitä opittavaa tieteellisen kirjoittamisen ohjaamiselle?

2020

Jyväskylän yliopiston avoimessa yliopistossa on useamman vuoden ajan kehitetty vertaisarviointia ja sen ohjausta osana verkko-opetusta. Olemme jatkaneet vertaispalautetoiminnan kehittämistä tutkimalla, millaista opiskelijoiden kirjoittama vertaispalaute sisällöllisesti on. Kirjoituksessa kuvaamme avoimen yliopiston opiskelijoiden antamien kirjallisten vertaispalautteiden sisältöä ja palautteen muotoa kahdella aineopintotasoisella verkkokurssilla, joissa harjoitellaan tieteellistä kirjoittamista. Pohdimme myös, miten opettajat voisivat ohjata opiskelijoita monipuoliseen palautteenantoon. Luokittelimme opiskelijoiden palautteet evaluaatioihin, muutosehdotuksiin, kysymyksiin ja kommentteihin. …

Improving statistical classification methods and ecological status assessment for river macroinvertebrates

2016

Aquatic ecosystems are facing a growing number of human-induced stressors and the need to implement more biomonitoring to assess the ecological status of water bodies is eminent. This dissertation aims at providing tools to reduce the costs and improve the accuracy of freshwater benthic macroinvertebrate biomonitoring. To improve the cost-e ciency, we consider automated classi cation and develop a novel classi er suitable for complex macroinvertebrate image data. To enhance the accuracy of macroinvertebrate biomonitoring, we study the statistical properties of the Percent Model A nity index crucial to current Finnish biomonitoring and the factors a ecting these statistics. Finally, we perfo…

Essays concerning Hume's natural philosophy

2016

The subject of this essay-based dissertation is Hume’s natural philosophy. The dissertation consists of four separate essays and an introduction. These essays do not only treat Hume’s views on the topic of natural philosophy, but his views are placed into a broader context of history of philosophy and science, physics in particular. The introductory section outlines the historical context, shows how the individual essays are connected, expounds what kind of research methodology has been used, and encapsulates the research contributions of the essays. The first essay treats Newton’s experimentalist methodology in gravity research and its relation to Hume’s causal philosophy. It is argued tha…

Information, Communications and Media Technologies for Sustainability: Constructing Data-Driven Policy Narratives

2021

This paper introduces the idea of data-driven narratives to examine how the use of information, communications, and media technologies (ICMTs) impacts the sustainable growth of economies. While ICMTs have regularly been advocated as a policy tool for growth and development, there is a research gap in empirical studies validating how such policies may be effective. This analysis is based on historical panel data from 39 economies across the developed North (19) and developing South (20). The industry-standard Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) methodology was applied to construct narratives that weave extant theories with empirical data. The art of developing data-dri…
