The Finland of Poetry Revisited Four Snapshots

2015

A poem is a condensation of signs and a method characteristic of every human being for investigating a shared reality. Accordingly, a human being also lives and exists poetically in this common world. This being so, the primacy of the mother tongue refers to the lived language, which mediates the possibility for us of carving out our own unique imprint on existence. Similarly, the native land signifies a milieu where a human being takes on a reality amidst other objects, surrounded by them and as one of them. Poetry creates harmony between past and present. peerReviewed

How Are Practice and Performance Related? Development of Reading From Age 5 to 15

2021

Does reading a lot lead to better reading skills, or does reading a lot follow from high initial reading skills? The authors present a longitudinal study of how much children choose to read and how well they decode and comprehend texts. This is the first study to examine the codevelopment of print exposure with both fluency and comprehension throughout childhood using autocorrelations. Print exposure was operationalized as children’s amount of independent reading for pleasure. Two hundred children were followed from age 5 to age 15. Print exposure was assessed at ages 5, 7, 8, 9, and 13. Prereading skills were tested at age 5 and reading skills at ages 7, 8, 9, 14, and 15 (the latter with t…

Consumer behavior with augmented reality in retail: a review and research agenda

2021

Driven by the rapid technological development and adoption of augmented reality (AR) in retail, academic research has grown rapidly. Our purpose is to understand the reasons why consumers use augmented reality in retail and what outcomes retailers can expect. This study presents a systematic literature review and summarizes the current empirical knowledge on consumer behavior with AR in retail. This topic remains scattered between various literature streams showing that the potential of AR to create value for consumers lays in its ability to generate utilitarian and hedonic value, to improve decision-making, and to enhance personalization of the virtual self. Then, this study warns about ne…

Employee trust repair: A systematic review of 20 years of empirical research and future research directions

2021

Employee trust, and increasingly its absence, is a critical topic for researchers and practitioners interested in social relations in the context of work and organizing. Employee trust repair is particularly important in the current disrupted work environment, due to unpredictable changes such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the uncertainty those bring to our lives. It is not surprising that employee trust is attracting increasing interest among researchers and practitioners alike. In this article, we systematically review and take stock of the research on trust repair conducted in the past two decades to provide comprehensive insights and future research directions for researchers and manager…

Autobiographical reading

2010

In my book, I have attempted the elaboration of a system for rereading 20th-century Hungarian autobiographies, by way of putting the emphasis on theoretical considerations. (From the “Death of the Author” to the Resurrection of the Author, Stereotypes in Autobiographical Reading) The major analytical aspects of the Autobiographical Reading focuses on the language based means of the representation of the Self. (Language and Subject, Staging the Self, Inter-Replacing Play of Image and Representation, Relationship between the Narrating and the Narrated Autobiographical Self, Memory and Identity) The choice of this subject matter is justified first of all by the fact that the conditions for the…

Ajan arvoituksia : fiktiivinen ajan kokemus Cormac McCarthyn romaanissa No country for old men

2013

Tarkastelen pro gradu -tutkielmassani inhimillisen ajan kokemuksen representaatioita Cormac McCarthyn romaanissa No Country for Old Men (2005). Tutkimuksessani selvitän, minkälaisen kuvan teoksen henkilöhahmojen kokemukset antavat ihmisen tavasta kokea aikaa. Lähtökohtanani on Paul Ricœurin ajatus, että fiktio kykenee luomaan ajan kokemuksen variaatioita, joiden avulla lukija voi rikastuttaa omaa ymmärrystään ajallisuudesta. Työn teoriaosuudessa esittelen erilaisia aikakäsityksiä monitieteisestä näkökulmasta. Tärkeimpänä rajanvetona on Ricœuriä seuraten eronteko objektiivisen kosmologisen ajan ja subjektiivisen fenomenologisen ajan välille. Lisäksi tarkastelen kaunokirjallisuuden kykyä ja k…

Mobile banking adoption: A literature review

2015

Electronic commerce (e-commerce) continues to have a profound impact on the global business environment, but technologies and applications also have begun to focus more on mobile computing, the wireless Web, and mobile commerce. Against this backdrop, mobile banking (m-banking) has emerged as an important distribution channel, with considerable research devoted to its adoption. However, this research stream has lacked a clear roadmap or agenda. Therefore, the present article analyzes and synthesizes existing studies of m-banking adoption and maps the major theories that researchers have used to predict consumer intentions to adopt it. The findings indicate that the m-banking adoption litera…
