Nostalgia, community and resistance : Counter-cultural politics in a Finnish skinzine
2019
Culture and community building are an essential part of the appeal of the far-right and fascist movements. Studying their cultural products is therefore important for a deeper understanding of the movement and their modus operandi. One elemental part of their culture are the so-called zines, small-scale do-it-yourself magazines intended for scene members. In certain respects, the far-right zines, skinzines, follow the forms and trends of other underground publications, especially punk-zines, with which they also share the resistance identity as stigmatized and marginalized actors. However, the political visions in skinzines are more or less opposite to ‘democratic zines’, creating certain t…
Cognitive behavioural therapy interventions for insomnia among shift workers: RCT in an occupational health setting
2019
Abstract Introduction The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy interventions for insomnia (CBT-I) to that of a sleep hygiene intervention in a randomized controlled design among shift workers. We also studied whether the features of shift work disorder (SWD) affected the results. Methods A total of 83 shift workers with insomnia disorder were partially randomized into a group-based CBT-I, self-help CBT-I, or sleep hygiene control intervention. The outcomes were assessed before and after the interventions and at 6-month follow-up using questionnaires, a sleep diary, and actigraphy. Results Perceived severity of insomnia, sleep-related dysfunction…
RIABITARE IL PATRIMONIO URBANO ED EDILIZIO DEI TERRITORI INTERNI: SPAZIO DIGITALE PER SERVIZI SANITARI EFFICIENTI
2020
La necessità del distanziamento fisico, dettata dall’epoca pandemica in corso, ricade inevitabilmente sulla vivibilità degli spazi urbani e di quelli abitativi. L’esigenza pressante di qualità della vita, nella fisicità e nelle relazioni umane, impone di riguardare con interesse a quei luoghi che ne sono depositari per sedimentazione storica. Una delle risposte è nel riabitare i centri minori dei territori interni, luoghi con bassa densità demografica e costruita, luoghi resilienti alle mutazioni urbane, luoghi salubri. Questi luoghi, di contro, sono affetti da marginalità e carenze di infrastrutture e servizi. Le tecnologie digitali si propongono sempre più come ausilio nel recupero del pa…
Social Acceptance of Climate Change Adaptation in Farms and Food Enterprises : a Case Study in Finland
2015
This article identifies perceived climate change risks and adaptation aspects among farms and food processing enterprises using a case study in Finland. In addition, the article pinpoints key factors that contribute to the social acceptance of climate change adaptation and mitigation policies in the food system. The purpose is to study the willingness of farms and food enterprises to accept and adapt to different climate policy implementation. The research data consists of 27 thematic interviews conducted in 2012 and 2013. The main research questions were: 1. What risks does climate change pose to farms and food enterprises? 2.

Defining the accessibility of physical activity : Tracing the social dimension
2022
The promotion of the physical activity (PA) of citizens has traditionally focused on improving spatial accessibility, especially in municipal administrations. However, research evidence indicates that proximity to PA environments is not a sufficient condition for increased PA. This article presents a broader model of the dimensions of the accessibility of PA, developed in cooperation between researchers and the authorities of two cities in Finland. As a result, ten dimensions affecting accessibility have been identified: spatial, temporal, physical/technological, informational, economic, legal/ administrative, cultural/attitudinal, skills related, mental and social. A special focus of atten…
Newspapers and Cross-Level Communications on Social Media : A comparative study of Japan, Korea, and Finland
2017
In order to examine how the same types of social media are perceived and utilized in different national contexts for journalism and news media, we studied mainstream newspapers in three countries where both newspapers and social media are viable: Japan, Korea, and Finland. Our in-depth interviews with journalists indicate both similarities and differences in the three countries. The most outstanding similarity is that newspapers have not fully incorporated cross-level communications available on social media platforms. Factors related to organizational structures, goals, policies, and procedures served as filters for the incorporation of social media into the news production and distributio…
Determinants of Prescription Opioid Use : Population‐Based Evidence from Finland
2021
Background and aims Previous studies have shown that prescription opioid use is more common in the socioeconomically disadvantaged communities in the US. This study examined the area and individual‐level determinants of prescription opioid use in Finland during the period 1995‐2016. Design Logistic regression analysis using nationwide data on filled opioid‐related prescriptions dispensed at Finnish pharmacies and covered by the National Health Insurance. Opioid consumption was linked, using personal identification codes, to population‐based data maintained by Statistics Finland, which records individual background and area‐level characteristics. Setting and participants Working‐age populati…
