Explaining a Surge in IPR Filings: Uncertain Design Rights and Learning Their Boundaries in the Finnish Sauna Heater Market

2017

We present a case study of a surge in design right filings in an industry transforming from technology-based to design-based competition. The motives for and outcomes of filing, and how these changed over time are discussed. We go on to explore the events, which offered the agents opportunities to update their beliefs about the scope of design right protection. We find that filing motives change from specific protection goals to freedom to operate over time. We also find that the actors faced several, but sometimes contradictory, learning opportunities. Finally, we argue that uncertain design rights may have fostered entrepreneurial optimism. Policy makers could level the playing field and …

The early childhood education and care partnership for bilingualism in minority language schooling : collaboration between bilingual families and ped…

2016

Educational partnerships occur at the intersection of early childhood education and care (ECEC), families, and the surrounding community, and have been shown to play a significant role in student success rates in education. There is, however, a gap in research on the role and potential of ‘partnership’ in the case of bilingual families with children enrolled in monolingual minority language ECEC. This study aimed to fill this void by examining parental and practitioner discourses on partnership and on obligations, desires, abilities, and competencies involved in acting on a bilingual childhood in the context of monolingual minority ECEC. Parents in nine Finnish–Swedish bilingual families an…

 Una riflessione sul giusnaturalismo. A proposito delle teorie di J. Finnis e R.P. George

2015

ABSTRACT Secondo la teoria classica di Bobbio e di Nino, due sono le tesi fondamentali del giusnaturalismo. Una tesi sul concetto di diritto, e sulla connessione necessaria , di carattere definitorio, tra diritto e morale. E una tesi metaetica di tipo oggettivista. Oggi, come sostiene Viola, dopo la rivoluzione di Finnis, il giusnatur alismo si presenta non più come una teoria della morale, ma c ome un’etica derivata dal carattere normativo della natura e da un uso specifico della ragionevolezza pratica. I n particolare ideologica, e in parte ontologica, se mbra oggi la contrapposizione tra giuspositivisti e giusnaturali sti. According to the classic theory of Bobbio and Nino, natural law t…

Fostering transformational teacher agency in Finnish teacher education

2018

In this article, we studied how well teacher education in Finland is able to answer the changing needs of the contemporary world. More precisely, we focussed on the question of how well an alternative teacher education model guides teacher students’ agency towards a transformational view of the teaching profession, making it possible for schools to enable social change. This question was studied in the framework of critical social pedagogy. The data for this article was collected ethnographically by observing meetings in the Critical Integrative Teacher Education (CITE) programme at the University of Jyväskylä in 2015–2017. The analysis is based on a theoretical background in which we outli…

Lernen ohne Lehrbuch im DaF-Unterricht : Initiierung eines Pilotprojekts in zwei mittelfinnischen Grundschulen

2012

Das Lernen des Deutschen in der Schule hat nicht nur in ganz Finnland, sondern auch in der Stadt Jyväskylä drastisch abgenommen. Um dieser Tendenz entgegenzuwirken, wurde Anfang 2010 in Jyväskylä ein nationales Pilotprojekt initiiert, das vom finnischen Zentralamt für Unterrichtswesen finanziert wurde. Zu den Zielen des Projekts gehörten die Entwicklung und Erforschung von Didaktik und Methodik im schulischen Fremdsprachenunterricht sowie des Fremdsprachenerwerbs des Deutschen. Speziell sollte der Einfluss authentischer Lehrmaterialien und authentischen Lernens auf die Motivation und Handlungsfähigkeit von A2-Lernenden untersucht werden. In Jyväskylä lernten ab Herbst 2010 in einem zweijähr…

Expert-based versus citation-based ranking of scholarly and scientific publication channels

2016

Abstract The Finnish publication channel quality ranking system was established in 2010. The system is expert-based, where separate panels decide and update the rankings of a set of publications channels allocated to them. The aggregated rankings have a notable role in the allocation of public resources into universities. The purpose of this article is to analyze this national ranking system. The analysis is mainly based on two publicly available databases containing the publication source information and the actual national publication activity information. Using citation-based indicators and other available information with association rule mining, decision trees, and confusion matrices, …
