Removal of bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate from reject water in a nitrogen-removing sequencing batch reactor.

2003

Reject water from sewage sludge processing may contain high concentrations of nutrients and organic pollutants and cause internal pollution load at a sewage treatment plant (STP) if circulated to the headworks of an STP. In the present study removal of nitrogen and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) from reject water was studied in two sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) with different aerobic/anoxic periods during a 6-h total cycle period. Ammonia-nitrogen (NH(4)-N) was almost totally removed in both reactors, apparently by nitrification throughout the run, while denitrification declined with decreasing SCOD in the influent resulting in an increase in the effluent nitrate-nitrogen (NO(3)-N) …

Interrelation between close teacher-student relationships and engagement : the case of Finnish preschools

2016

The study examined the interrelation between positive teacher-student relationships and teacher-reported level of engagement in Finnish preschool settings. Fifty preschool teachers working in Jyväskylä city area answered questionnaires in which they de-scribed 50 randomly selected students from their class (28 girls and 22 boys), one stu-dent for each teacher. Questionnaires consisted of two parts and measured the quality of teacher-child relationships and the level of children’s emotional and behavioural en-gagement.

Monikerroksisten muistelu- ja tallennusprosessien vaikutus muistitiedon tulkintaan etnografisessa historiantutkimuksessa

2014

Tarkastelen artikkelissani, millaisia haasteita historioitsija kohtaa tehdessään tutkimusta arkistoihin tallennettua etnografista muistitietoa lähteenä käyttäen. Tämä muistitieto on voitu kerätä ja tallentaa eri arkistoihin jo aiempina vuosikymmeninä ja -satoina, mutta se poikkeaa kuitenkin luonteeltaan historiantutkimuksen perinteisesti käyttämistä asiakirjalähteistä siten, että varsinkin varhaisemmalla ajalla muistitieto on usein kerätty haastattelujen avulla ja kerääjä on sitten muuntanut sen kirjalliseen muotoon kirjoittamalla sen muistiin omin sanoin, äänittämättä tai muuten tallentamatta haastattelutilannetta kokonaisuudessaan. Näiden lähteiden tuottamiseen ovat osallistuneet aktiivis…

Internationalization pathways of family SMEs: psychic distance as a focal point

2010

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate how psychic distance affects the internationalization process, foreign market entry (FME), and entry mode choice of Finnish small and medium-sized family enterprises (family SMEs) operating in France. Design/methodology/approach – The paper reports findings from an in-depth case study covering four Finnish manufacturing family SMEs operating in the French market. The data were analyzed using the Uppsala model and distance creating and distance-bridging factors encountered in the FME to France. Findings – The findings reveal that the family SMEs mainly followed a sequential process and favored indirect entry modes before entering the Fren…
