Ammatillisen koulutuksen ja korkeakoulutuksen opintourat
2012
Julkaisun tarkoituksena on avata uusia näkökulmia ajankohtaiseen koulutuspoliittiseen keskusteluun opintourista. Raportissa tarkastellaan Tilastokeskuksen laajojen rekisteriaineistojen pohjalta opintouratyyppien ja koulutuksellisten siirtymien yleisyyttä ammatillisen toisen asteen peruskoulutuksessa ja korkeakoulutuksessa (ammattikorkeakouluissa ja yliopistoissa). Erilaisilla opintouratyypeillä tarkoitetaan opintojen keskeyttämistä, viivästymistä, valmistumista sekä koulutuksen vaihtoa koulutusasteelta, -sektorilta ja alalta toiselle. Tutkimus kohdistuu koulutussektoreittain eri aloittajakohortteihin, joiden opintouria seurattiin koko opiskeluajan. Rekistereistä poimittiin kultakin koulutus…
Epistemic network analyses of economics students' graph understanding. An eye-tracking study
2020
Learning to solve graph tasks is one of the key prerequisites of acquiring domain-specific knowledge in most study domains. Analyses of graph understanding often use eye-tracking and focus on analyzing how much time students spend gazing at particular areas of a graph&mdash
Understanding the challenges of rapid digital transformation : the case of COVID-19 pandemic in higher education
2021
Rapid digital transformation is taking place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing organisations and higher educational institutions to change their working and learning culture. This study explores the challenges of rapid digital transformation arising during the pandemic in the higher education context. This research used the Q-methodology to understand the nine challenges that higher education encountered, perceived differently as four main patterns: (1) Digital-nomad enterprise; (2) Corporate-collectivism; (3) Well-being-oriented; and (4) Pluralistic. This study broadens the current understanding of digital transformation, especially in higher education. The nine challenges and four pat…
Challenges and trends in comparative higher education: an editorial
2013
[Introduction] International comparative higher education research has proliferated since its institutionalization as an interdisciplinary field in the 1960s and 1970s (Jarausch 1985) and has gained special momentum in the 1990s (Teichler 1996). On the one hand, the benefits of comparative research approaches in international higher education have been repeatedly emphasized (Altbach and Kelly 1985; Teichler 1996; Rhoades 2001). These include, for example, increasing the capacity to generalize about a greater number of units under analysis, the capacity of a systematic comparison to illuminate the dynamics of a particular system better than a single-system study as well as highlighting knowl…
First measurement of the Sivers asymmetry for gluons using SIDIS data
2017
The Sivers function describes the correlation between the transverse spin of a nucleon and the transverse motion of its partons. It was extracted from measurements of the azimuthal asymmetry of hadrons produced in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering of leptons off transversely polarised nucleon targets, and it turned out to be non-zero for quarks. In this letter the evaluation of the Sivers asymmetry for gluons in the same process is presented. The analysis method is based on a Monte Carlo simulation that includes three hard processes: photon-gluon fusion, QCD Compton scattering and leading-order virtual-photon absorption process. The Sivers asymmetries of the three processes are simul…

Higher Education and Global Social Injustice
2020
This dissertation, composed of three unique scholarly articles, explores some of the ways in which institutions of higher education facilitate and mitigate social injustice on a global scale. Specifically analyzing the behavior of administrative actors—defined as those that serve in a leadership role outside of the classroom—the purpose of the research was twofold. Firstly, I aimed to identify the mechanisms by which administrative actors at U.S. and Finnish institutions of higher education legitimized and rationalized their involvement in globally unjust educational practices. Secondly, I sought to identify the ways in which administrative actors in these economically privileged countries …
Features of W production in p-p, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions
2017
We consider the production of inclusive W bosons in variety of high-energy hadronic collisions: p--p, p--$\overline{\rm p}$, p--Pb, and Pb--Pb. In particular, we focus on the resulting distributions of charged leptons from W decay that can be measured with relatively low backgrounds. The leading-order expressions within the collinearly factorized QCD indicate that the center-of-mass energy dependence at forward/backward rapidities should be well approximated by a simple power law. The scaling exponent is related to the small-$x$ behaviour of the quark distributions, which is largely driven by the parton evolution. An interesting consequence is the simple scaling law for the lepton charge as…
Higgs-pair production via gluon fusion at NLO QCD in the Standard Model and Beyond
2021
La fı́sica de las partı́culas elementales está bien descrita por el Modelo Estándar (SM, por sus siglas en inglés.). La presencia de la interacción electrodébil prohı́be los términos cuadráticos con respecto a los campos, i.e. términos de masa, en el Lagrangiano del SM. La presencia de tales términos de masa requieren de la llamada ruptura espontánea de la simetrı́a, introduciendo un doblete electrodébil con un valor esperado de vacı́o no nulo. Como recordatorio, la ruptura espontánea de la simetrı́a genera un bosón escalar neutro, el renombrado bosón de Higgs. Aunque fue predicho en los años 60 por argumentos teóricos, en el 2012 los experimentos del Large Hadron Collider (LHC), ATLAS y CM…
Osservazioni a margine della sentenza del Tar Lombardia sull'uso della lingua inglese nell'insegnamento universitario. Profili comparativi
2013
Prendendo spunto dalla recente sentenza del 23.5.2013 del Tar Lombardia con cui si è annullata la delibera adottata dal Senato accademico del Politecnico di Milano riguardante la mozione sull’adozione della lingua inglese per i corsi di laurea magistrale e di dottorato di ricerca a partire dall’anno 2014, si sono svolte delle considerazioni sull’internazionalizzazione dell’istruzione superiore, partendo dal comunicato di Bucarest, 2012 e dalla strategia sulla mobilità per un migliore apprendimento. Si è proceduto, quindi, ad analizzare come nell’ordinamento francese, con la legge n.2013-660 del 22.7.2013, si sia disciplinato l’uso della lingua straniera nell’insegnamento universitario, per …
