Manipulacyjne wykorzystanie słowa park w nazwach osiedli mieszkaniowych
2020
Artykuł opisuje częste obecnie zjawisko wykorzystywania w celach komercyjnych słowa park w nazwach obiektów miejskich, głównie osiedli mieszkaniowych. Nazwy te łudzą obietnicą życia w korzystnych warunkach, przesłaniając fakt, że ich budowanie nieodłącznie wiąże się z uszczuplaniem terenów zielonych w mieście. Firmy deweloperskie przenoszą na tworzone przez siebie nazwy wysoce pozytywne asocjacje, jakie wywołuje tradycyjnie rozumiany park, pierwsza część artykułu przedstawia więc treści semantyczne, które składają się na to pojęcie. Część druga pokazuje, w jaki sposób deweloperzy uzasadniają swe nazwy, kreując ich związek z realnymi cechami lokalizacji lub architektury osiedli, a także łącz…
Affective Estrangement and Ecological Destruction in TV Crime Series Fortitude
2020
Koistinen and Mäntymäki examine how graphic violence evokes affect in the context of ecological destruction in the UK-produced TV crime fiction series Fortitude (2015–17). They argue that the series mobilises generic exchange by incorporating speculative elements into a traditional crime narrative structure, thereby creating space for affective estrangement. They show how the amalgamation of violence, ecological destruction and affect serves as an entrance into socioecological critique with a strong cautionary element through the negotiation between the human and nonhuman and the ethics of violence. Theoretically, the chapter relies on Sara Ahmed’s view of affect as social processes produce…
Spheres of Influence on Students' Ethical Decision Making
2014
Our study contributes to the literature that explores whether age, gender, and various spheres of influence (religious principles, family values, educational training, workplace environment and peer interactions) affect perceptions of individual ethical behavior. We administered a business ethics survey to undergraduate students at a public undergraduate university in West Virginia. All respondents were asked to agree or disagree with twenty business ethics behavioral vignettes using a 4-point Likert type scale. In addition to these responses, we collected demographic information including gender, age, marital status, and academic major. Respondents were also asked to rank their personal sp…
Skills Behind the Robotics : How to Re-educate Workers for the Future
2019
The aim of this study is to respond to the educational needs of the future, considering automation and robotics. It is inevitable that automation and robotics are changing our lives and they create challenges for the future work life and education. In this study, we investigate what is the educational background of the unemployed people who are in danger of being replaced by automation and what is their educational resilience for adapting work life changes. The data of this study consist of the latest PIAAC data (The Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies). Based on the research we develop a model for re-educating the people who have lost their jobs. peerReviewed
Henkilön psykiatria : psykiatrian dialektinen filosofia
2017
The Finnish word ’henkilö’ is difficult to translate in English as a ‘Person’, but in international plan-language, Esperanto, we can quite exactly translate it as ‘spiritulo’. The word henkilö, spiritulo, is developed in the 19th century from the ancient Finnish word ‘henki’ by the medical doctor in Jyväskylä region Wolmar Schildt-Kilpinen. He was not satisfied with the simple translation from Latin word ‘persona’ to Finnish ‘persoona’, and so via the ancient word he conceptually combined the spiritulo to the dialectical process of negation of negation of the ethnic culture – elite culture – national culture. So the spiritulo could express the community (Gemeinschaft) and common (gemein) at…
Paljon vanhaa, jotain uutta ja jotain lainattua: Suomalaisjournalistien ammattikuva Worlds of Journalism Study -kyselyssä
2023
Tässä raportissa perehdytään suomalaisten journalistisen työn tekijöiden ammattiarvoihin, -etiikkaan, työoloihin ja käsityksiin journalismista. Työ perustuu kansainväliseen Worlds of Journalism Study (WJS) -projektiin, jossa selvitetään säännöllisesti journalismin tilaa eri puolilla maailmaa (WJS 2022a). Ensimmäinen kysely tehtiin vuosina 2007–2011, jolloin mukana oli 21 maata ja 2 100 journalistia. Suomi liittyi projektiin vuonna 2013 sen toisessa aallossa. Siihen osallistui vuosina 2012–2016 kaikkiaan 67 maata ja yli 27 500 journalistia. Tässä raportissa keskitytään projektin kolmanteen aaltoon, joka on käynnissä vuosina 2021–2023. Mukana on yli 120 maata eri puolilta maailmaa. WJS-projek…
Designing Features for Fido: What Makes Animal-Computer Interaction So Different From Human-Computer Interaction?
2013
Lehtonen, Jaana Designing Features for Fido: What Makes Animal-Computer Interaction So Dif-ferent From Human-Computer Interaction? Jyväskylä: University of Jyväskylä, 2013, 21 p. Information Systems Science, Bachelor’s thesis Supervisor: Kuparinen, Liisa Animal-computer interaction aims to allow animals to interact not only with computers but their owners and other humans through computerised interfaces. This thesis studies the existing research on the main characteristics of ani-mal-computer interaction and what sets it apart from human-computer interac-tion. The main focus is on recognising and defining different kinds of chal-lenges affecting the development of tools and systems for anim…
Speculation and Justification in Policy-Making on Neuroenhancement
2013
Neuroscientific findings allow interventions in the human brain to improve its function or modify mental states even without medical indication. This procedure, termed as neuroenhancement, is subject to a broad ethical debate. As neuroenhancement is an evolving phenomenon, the debate is necessarily future-oriented and highly dependent on information about future developments. It remains an open question to what degree uncertain forecasting or even speculation should be considered in the ethical debate and policy-making. I propose to distinguish between arguments with three different purposes: intuition-forming, self-reflecting and justifying arguments. Adequate standards are required for al…
Introduction to the special issue: Beyond self-fashioning and freedom—bending, breaking, and adhering to rules in religious contexts
2023
Rules are a crucial part of much religious thought and practice. Their importance or insignificance, their strictness or laxness, and their rigidity or flexibility in the face of change are constant themes of debate, both within and outside religious communities. Yet they have arguably not been given the attention they deserve within recent anthropology. Since the rise of practice theory, rules have more often been considered something to look past in the search for agency. Where the new anthropology of ethics has addressed religious orthopraxy, it has largely been through the lens of the cultivation of virtuous self, or the ways in which moral rules may become especially salient in extrao…
Od redaktorów: Dylematy etyczne i ryzyko w badaniach terenowych
2016
We wprowadzeniu autorzy proponują ujęcie kwestii etycznych w kategoriach ryzyka, które towarzyszy prowadzeniu badań terenowych. Spojrzenie na badania od strony ryzyka pomaga po części uporządkować dyskurs o różnych zagrożeniach pojawiających się w toku nawiązywania interakcji badawczych, a także kieruje uwagę na powiązane sprawy identyfikowania i komunikowania ryzyka oraz podejmowania kwestii etycznych. Jedną z najważniejszych cech relacji badawczej, która utrudnia definitywne rozstrzyganie problemów etycznych, jest to, że nawiązywana jest ona w zmieniających się okolicznościach, niepowtarzalnych i zaskakujących sytuacjach, a także wobec zderzenia różnych systemów etycznych, które mogą dzie…
