From state-owned smokestacks to post-industrial dreams : The Finnish government in business, 1970–2010
2020
While state-owned enterprises (SOEs) used to be considered obsolete tools for governmental intervention in the economy, in recent years governmental intervention in the business sector has re-emerged as a topic of debate. However, scholarship on the changes in and the modernisation of the SOE model is limited. In this article, we examine how the Finnish state’s ownership policy adapted to the requirements of economic globalisation between the 1970s and the 2010s. We show that the attitude towards globalisation was pragmatic and aimed at safeguarding the competitiveness of domestic companies. The state-owned company system was gradually adapted to meet new needs, losing most of its original …
Description and phylogenetic relationships of a new species of treefrog of theOsteocephalus buckleyispecies group (Anura: Hylidae)
2020
The Osteocephalus buckleyi species group is widely distributed in primary and secondary forests of the Amazon Basin and Guiana Region. Based on integrative analysis, including morphological and genetic data, we estimate the phylogenetic relationships and species boundaries among populations of the Osteocephalus buckleyi group from the Ecuadorian Amazon, focusing on the O. verruciger-O. cannatellai species complex. Our results uncovered the existence of one confirmed candidate species from Sangay National Park and one unconfirmed candidate species. Here, we describe the new species which is morphologically and ecologically distinct from other Osteocephalus species. The new species is unusual…

Endeavors to Make Global Connections : Latin American Contacts and Strategies with Mediterranean Non-Alignment in the Early Cold War
2015
This article explores linkages between Yugoslavia’s influence and the roots of the Non-Aligned Movement in the Mediterranean with Latin America as a region through which the Soviet Union sought to challenge the independence of Yugoslavia and the Movement. It answers directly the question: To what extent did the foundation of the coalition of non-aligned states in 1961 in Belgrade have an impact on relations between Yugoslavia and some Latin American states? The sources used for this article consist principally of primary sources from the Foreign Policy Archive of the Russian Federation and the Archive of the Foreign Ministry of Yugoslavia. peerReviewed
SOME EXAMPLES RELATED TO A CLASS OF FUNCTIONALS WITHOUT GLOBAL MINIMA
2012
Abstract: In this paper, we provide six examples which show the sharpness of the assumptions of a recent deep result of Ricceri about a class of functionals without global minima.
Globalizācijas un noziedzības attēlojums V. Fergusona romānā "419"
2022
Globalizācija, ko raksturo pieaugoša valstu un tirdzniecības tīklu saikne un savstarpējā atkarība, nav ne nesena parādība, ne tā, kuras sekas ir pilnībā izprastas. Tomēr, pat pieaugot kultūru mijiedarbībai, pastāv pastāvīgs pieņēmums, ka globalizācija ir jāveicina, jo tā uzlabotu "noziedzības pilnās" trešās pasaules valstis. Lai saprastu, vai attīstītās tautas ir pārākas un tāpēc pamatotas, lai nogādātu savu klātbūtni nabadzīgākajās valstīs, lai tās "uzlabotu", tika izmantota kvalitatīva analīze, lai analizētu romānu "419". Rezultāti liecina, ka ir maz būtiskas atšķirības starp tām un izmaiņas, kas ieviestas "trešajā pasaulē", var tās izpostīt. Visbeidzot, ieviešot izmaiņas, jāpievērš lielā…
Du ciel noir à l'environnement nocturne : la construction d'un nouveau front de protection de la nature
2020
International audience; Depuis les années 1970 plusieurs domaines d’expertise scientifique ont contribué à faire émerger une nouvelle dimension de la protection de l’environnement liés aux effets dégradants de la pollution lumineuse. Cette dernière constitue en soi un objet de controverse entre sciences, notamment sur les différentes façons de la saisir et la définir en tant qu’objet et que fait. Nous retiendrons ici pour qualifier cette forme de pollution le caractère d’un excès de lumière artificielle entrainant des impacts sur les écosystèmes et sur la santé humaine.L’histoire du mouvement de lutte contre l’expansion de l’éclairage artificiel commence à être relativement connue, dans le …
Managing collapsed boundaries in global work
2023
Global workers have long contended with the challenges of working across geographical, temporal, and cultural boundaries enabled by communication technologies. However, the global work research has rarely intersected with the literature on work–home boundary management—which has been brought to the forefront due to the forced move to remote work during the Covid-19 pandemic. Drawing on a qualitative field study of 55 in-depth interviews with global workers from a large organization headquartered in the Nordics, we found that global workers drew on sociomaterial affordances to manage both global work and work–home boundaries through strategies of boundary support and boundary collapse. Altho…
Software Complexity and Organization of Firms’ Offshoring Activities
2017
How does software complexity shape software providers’ offshoring tasks, and how do such firms organize their offshoring activity? These questions are important, since the global software development market is growing rapidly, offering new opportunities for software managers and entrepreneurs to distribute their activities geographically. Based on a multi-site case study of 12 software firms, we study connections between software complexity and the offshoring strategies selected. Our findings suggest that software firms select a variety of organizational structures for their offshoring activity, and that the selection is shaped by the complexity of the software in question. peerReviewed
