Florence Nightingale as a Victorian career woman
2016
The chapter focuses on the role of Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) in turning nursing into a trained profession and a viable and respectable career option for Victorian women seeking employment outside of the home. Nightingale's accomplishments and her thoughts on women's lot in life as expressed in her essay "Cassandra", are presented against the backdrop of the ideology of separate spheres which circumscribes women within the domestic domain. The chapter discusses Nightingale's work in British military field hospitals during the Crimean War, her successful efforts to reform the ways in which such hospitals were run, and the establishment of the Nightingale School and Home for Nurses and …

After having retraced the many stages that characterize the tortuous jurisprudential evolution that has taken place regarding the relationship between the incidental and main appeal in the field of public procurement, the present work aims to highlight the legal argument that could form the basis of the preferred option by the Council of State as well as to identify in the theory c.d. of the counter-limits a further institution which could be used to guarantee the constitutional principles referred to in articles 24,103,97 and 111 of the Constitution which would appear to be violated if one opts for the objective nature of the administrative jurisdiction

Ympäristönsuojelulaki vuotaa: turvekiista tunnustuskamppailuna
2023
Tutkimme Keski-Suomessa pitkään jatkunutta turvekiistaa selvittämällä kyselyllä ja haastatteluilla kansalaisten käsityksiä turvetuotannosta ja sen vesistövaikutuksista. Tutkimuksemme osoittaa, että poliittis-hallinnollinen järjestelmä ei ole kyennyt täyttämään ympäristönsuojelulain tavoitetta turvata kansalaisille terveellinen ja viihtyisä ympäristö ja parantaa kansalaisten mahdollisuuksia vaikuttaa ympäristöä koskevaan päätöksentekoon. Lailla ei ole edellytyksiä säännellä kaikkia niitä luontoa hyödyntäviä toimintoja, joiden kansalaiset kokevat saastuttavan vesiympäristöään. Tämä puute näkyy esimerkiksi turpeennoston kaltaisissa toiminnoissa, jotka aiheuttavat vesistöjen hajakuormitusta eri…

¿Somos racionales las personas tras un conflicto intergrupal? El papel civilizador del grupo
2016
Los seres humanos parecen tener dificultades para tomar decisiones cooperativas y racionales, en beneficio propio y de los demás, después de haber experimentado un conflicto intergrupal. Tras el conflicto, los miembros del otro grupo despiertan emociones negativas en los miembros del propio grupo, que dificultan dicha racionalidad, algo que es congruente con las teorías sobre el razonamiento y la toma de decisiones más aceptadas actualmente. Sin embargo, la racionalidad cooperativa se puede estimular involucrando a las personas en discusiones grupales donde se pueda deliberar de manera más pausada acerca de las decisiones a tomar.
