The Role of Linguistic Resources in the Institutional Organisation of the Armenian Diaspora in Finland
2019
This chapter presents a linguistic ethnographic case study exploring the role of linguistic resources in the institutional organisation of the Armenian diaspora within the Finnish context. Even though the Armenian diasporas across the globe have been extensively studied in various countries, relatively little research has been conducted on linguistic resources employed in the institutional organisation of the Armenian diasporas.

Geoterminen energia on Suomessa ja muualla maailmassa noussut yhdeksi päästöttömäksi uusiutuvan energian muodoksi, mutta sen rakentamiseen ja käyttöön sisältyy riskejä. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelemme geotermisen energian seismisen riskin hallintaa monitoimijaisessa verkostossa. Keskitymme siihen, millaisena eri toimijat näkevät Seismologian instituutin aseman geotermisen energian hallinnan verkostossa.
