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 …
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…

Yleisten kielitutkintojen arvioijien käsityksiä thainkieliseksi tunnistettujen suomenoppijoiden suullisesta kielitaidosta
2020
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan sitä, miten thainkielisten suomenoppijoiden (N=10) ensikielen tunnistaminen vaikuttaa Yleisten kielitutkintojen (YKI) suomen arvioijien (N=44) käsityksiin kielitaidosta ja millaisia käsityksiä arvioijilla on thainkielisten suullisesta kielitaidosta. Artikkelin aineisto liittyy Rikkinäistä suomea-hankkeeseen, jossa thainkieliset oli yksi tutkimukseen osallistuneesta ensikielen ryhmittymästä. Artikkelissa määrällisen aineiston avulla tarkastellaan tunnistamista ja arvioinnissa käytettyjen kuuden analyyttisen arviointikriteerin käyttöä. Laadullinen aineisto koostuu arvioijien kirjoittamista ensikielen tunnistamiseen ja oppijoiden kielitaitoon liittyvistä huomioista, …
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, …
Naiset suomalaisten listayhtiöiden hallituksissa
2012
Naisten määrä pörssiyhtiöiden hallituksissa on alhainen lähes kaikkialla maailmassa. Poikkeus on Norja, jossa lainsäädäntö määrää, että molempien sukupuolten edustus listattujen yritysten hallituksissa on oltava 40 %. Naisten määrän lisäämistä hallituksissa pidetään tärkeänä, sillä tutkimusten mukaan yhtiöt, joiden hallituksissa on naisia, saavuttavat parempia tuloksia. Perimmiltään kysymys on kuitenkin eettinen tasa-arvokysymys. Naisten määrän lisäämiseksi suomalaisten yritysten hallituksissa on kaksi vaihtoehtoa; kiintiö Norjan tapaan tai vapaaehtoinen, listayhtiöiden hallinnointikoodin mukainen naisjäsenten nimittäminen hallituksiin. Naisten määrä suomalaisissa hallituksissa on kuitenkin…
"Saagat tuntevat Suomen kuninkaat" - pseudohistoriallisesta kirjoittelusta Suomen muinaisuudesta
2017
Suomalaiset ovat tutkitusti kiinnostuneita historiasta ja etsivät tietoa menneisyyden tapahtumista internetistä. Erityisesti netissä olevan materiaalin suhteen on vaarana, että lukijan on vaikea erottaa, mikä tieto perustuu tutkimukseen ja mikä on sepitettyä historiaa eli pseudohistoriaa. Pseudohistorian määritteleminen ei ole yksinkertaista, mutta karkeasti ottaen kyseessä on menneisyyden tapahtumien esittäminen tarkoitushakuisesti ja ilman historian tutkimuksen alalla vakiintuneita menetelmiä. Artikkelissa keskitymme tutkimaan pseudohistoriallisia kirjoituksia Suomen muinaisuudesta ja oletetuista kuninkaista. Olemme valinneet lähteiksi viisi aiheesta kirjoitettua blogikirjoitusta, kolme J…
The Peace Treaty of Fredrikshamn and its Aftermath in Sweden and Finland
2010
This article analyses the Peace Treaty of Fredrikshamn (Hamina in Finnish) and its consequences in Sweden and Finland. The Russians set strict preconditions for the commencement of peace negotiations with the Swedes in the summer of 1809. These conditions were realized almost <em>in toto</em> in the final peace treaty, which consisted of just twenty-one articles. In addition to regulations directly related to the ending of hostilities, the main provisions of the agreement entailed huge territorial losses for Sweden, strictly defining the regions it was to cede to Russia, the most important of which was Finland. Sweden was also enjoined to give up its alliance with Britain and to…
The alignment of head nods with syntactic units in Finnish Sign Language and Swedish Sign Language
2016
In this paper we examine the relationship between specific head movement events – head nods, often treated as prosodic boundary markers – and syntactic units in Finnish (FinSL) and Swedish Sign Language (SSL). In the study we investigated the alignment of head nods with syntactic units on the basis of a total of 20 (10+10) FinSL and SSL narratives. The results of the study show that in both languages head nods appeared similarly on syntactic boundaries and that the tendency was to align nods sentence-finally. However, not all head nods behaved this way: for example, a relatively large number of head nods were also found to occur sentence-initially or elsewhere in the sentence. Furthermore, …
On the rhythm of head movements in Finnish and Swedish Sign Language sentences
2016
This paper investigates, with the help of computer-vision technology, the similarities and differences in the rhythm of the movements of the head in sentences in Finnish (FinSL) and Swedish Sign Language (SSL). The results show that the movement of the head in the two languages is often very similar: in both languages, the instances when the movement of the head changes direction were distributed similarly with regard to clause-boundaries, and the contours of the roll (tilting-like) motion of the head during the sentences were similar. Concerning differences, direction changes were found to be used more effectively in the marking of clause-boundaries in FinSL, and in SSL the head moved near…
