Cosmopolitanism as a Potential Theoretical Solution to the Challenges of Globalised Urbanisation

2019

This paper contributes to the effort to formulate strategies for approaching the challenges of twenty-first century “globalised urbanisation.” The paper hypothesises that cosmopolitanism might be seen as an option when trying to understand and resolve problems associated with globalised urbanisation within the scope of the United Nations’ Habitat III policy framework. In the context of the United Nations’ Habitat III (New Urban Agenda) policy framework, culture and cultural diversity are recognised as sources of enrichment for humanity and provide an important contribution to the sustainability of cities (UN-Habitat 2016:4). In addition, the policy framework supports the core aspect of cosm…

Hermetic Roots of Marsilio Ficino’s Anthropocentric Thought

2013

Marsilio Ficino’s relationship to the Hermetic literary tradition has long been a controversial issue in academic discussion. Although Ficino is commonly known as a translator and keen reader of the philosophical Hermetica, his allegiances to the Hermetic ideas have been recognized only in his theory of magic (only to be denied later), while in other cases, in general, scholars tend to deny the impact of Hermetic writings instead of accepting it. This paper explores a topic in which the denial has been particularly harsh, namely Ficino’s Promethean philosophy of man, highlighted as the most influential achievement of his thought by previous generations (e.g. by Trinkaus). Despite the neglec…

Jänisten jäljillä Varkaudessa : Varkauden urbanisoitumiskehitys

2008

Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää onko Varkaudesta nähtävissä urbaanin kaupungin piirteitä Jänisten valokuvaajasuvun valokuvia tarkastelemalla. Tarkoituksena on tarkastella kuinka Varkaus-nimisestä tilasta on kehittynyt itsenäinen Varkauden kaupunki ja peilata Jänisten valokuvaajasuvun kuvien kautta sen kaupungistumista. Keskeisiä kysymyksiä ovat: Onko Varkaus urbaani kaupunki? Kuinka se näyttäytyy valokuvissa? Onko urbaani todellista, vai onko se vain kuvaajan näkemys tai mielikuva? Työn tutkimusmateriaalina ovat Jänisten valokuvat sekä suvun jäsenten että Jänisten kanssa yhteistyötä tehneiden haastattelut. Mukana on ollut myös Rehellinen Varkaus teoksen pohjana olleita varkautelaisten ha…

Un Estudio Descriptivo sobre el Acoso y Violencia Escolar en la Educación Obligatoria

2009

El presente trabajo analiza la violencia en la población escolar no universitaria de la Comunitat Valenciana, a través de los datos recogidos a través de un Registro On-line. En términos generales, el análisis de los datos señala que las agresiones son más frecuentes en el primer ciclo de Enseñanza Secundaria, donde consecuentemente se abren mayor número de expedientes disciplinarios. Se constata que la violencia más frecuente es la violencia física, seguida de la violencia verbal, seguida con menor incidencia la violencia contra la propiedad, por exclusión y por último, la violencia sexual. Respecto a la topografía, la mayoría de incidencias ocurren en el aula, seguidas del …

Impacts of Touch Screen Size, User Interface Design, and Subtask Boundaries on In-Car Task's Visual Demand and Driver Distraction

2020

Visual distraction by secondary in-car tasks is a major contributing factor in traffic incidents. In-car user interface design may mitigate these negative effects but to accomplish this, design factors’ visual distraction potential should be better understood. The effects of touch screen size, user interface design, and subtask boundaries on in-car task's visual demand and visual distraction potential were studied in two driving simulator experiments with 48 participants. Multilevel modeling was utilized to control the visual demands of driving and individual differences on in-car glance durations. The 2.5” larger touch screen slightly decreased the in-car glance durations and had a diminis…

Oikealle alalle? : logistiikka-alan ammattikoulutuksen ja työelämän osaamisen todellisuuksien kohtaaminen

2016

The aim of this doctoral thesis was to study how vocational education and training (VET) and working life encounter each other. Naturally the research topic chosen was selected from the researcher´s own professional field, i.e., logistics education. The research task was to examine, how VET-students' professional expectations in the study field of logistics encounter with the working life realities. The main research question was “How do the logistics (driver training) students’ vocational expectations encounter with the requirements of dynamically changing working life from the point of view of the vocational competence, the time span of 2001-2025?” The two sub-questions were 1) How do the…

The relationships between urbanization and bird functional traits across the streetscape

2023

Publisher Copyright: © 2023 The Authors The urbanization process leads to changes in bird communities’ taxonomic and functional compositions. Highly urbanized areas generally exhibit a reduced number of bird species sharing few functional traits. However, most urban bird studies focused on vegetation patches in temperate cities. In this study, we investigate how urban environmental attributes – noise, height of buildings, and urban vegetation characteristics – modulate species occurrences and the distribution of functional traits across the streetscape of a tropical metropolis. We predicted diverse trait-environment relationships, but that highly urbanized contexts (e.g., noisy streets with…
