Concept Analysis in Programming Language Research : Done Well It Is All Right
2017
Programming language research is becoming method conscious. Rigorous mathematical or empirical evaluation is often demanded, which is a good thing. However, I argue in this essay that concept analysis is a legitimate research approach in programming languages, with important limitations. It can be used to sharpen vague concepts, and to expose distinctions that have previously been overlooked, but it does not demonstrate the superiority of one language design over another. Arguments and counter-arguments are essential to successful concept analysis, and such thoughtful conversations should be published more. peerReviewed
Scholarly discussion as engineering the meanings of a European cultural heritage
2016
The vague concept of a European cultural heritage is frequently referred to – but rarely explicitly defined – in scholarly discussion. The use of the concept in academia constructs a European cultural heritage as a category in research and explicitly and implicitly produces its focuses and outlines. Thus, the use of the concept can be considered as scholarly engineering of a European cultural heritage. To be able to have a scholarly discussion about a European cultural heritage, the meanings and uses of the concept need to be clarified. This article examines the meanings and uses of the concept in recent scholarly articles published in various disciplines. In the study, the concept analysi…
State of the Art in Information Security Policy Development
2020
Despite the prevalence of research that exists under the label of “information security policies” (ISPs), there is no consensus on what an ISP means or how ISPs should be developed. This article reviews state-of-the-art ISP development by examining a diverse sample of literature on the subject. The definition and function of an ISP is studied first, revealing a rich tapestry of different notions behind the same term. When looking at the broad picture of the research on ISP development methods, we find different phases and levels of detail. Analyzing the different views on the content, context, and strategy alignment provides for further understanding on the complexity of the matter. As an o…
The composition of data economy : a bibliometric approach and TCCM framework of conceptual, intellectual and social structure
2022
Purpose The data economy mainly relies on the surveillance capitalism business model, enabling companies to monetize their data. The surveillance allows for transforming private human experiences into behavioral data that can be harnessed in the marketing sphere. This study aims to focus on investigating the domain of data economy with the methodological lens of quantitative bibliometric analysis of published literature. Design/methodology/approach The bibliometric analysis seeks to unravel trends and timelines for the emergence of the data economy, its conceptualization, scientific progression and thematic synergy that could predict the future of the field. A total of 591 data between 200…
Haavoittuvuuden kudelmat : digitaalinen subjekti ja haavoittuvuus datavetoista yhteiskuntaa käsittelevässä tutkimuskirjallisuudessa
2021
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan sitä, millaisia merkityksiä haavoittuvuudelle on annettu datavetoista yhteiskuntaa ja digitaalista subjektia koskevassa tutkimuskirjallisuudessa. Artikkeli perustuu kirjallisuuskatsaukseen, joka on tehty vuosina 2015–2020 ilmestyneistä haavoittuvuutta datafikaation kontekstissa käsittelevistä tieteellisistä julkaisuista. Kirjallisuushaut tehtiin yhteiskuntatieteiden alojen keskeisistä tietokannoista ja digitaalisista kirjastoista. Hakujen pohjalta tutkimuskirjallisuus järjestettiin neljään teemakokonaisuuteen: 1) datavalvonnan tuottamat haavoittuvuudet, 2) data tietämisen tapana ja osallisuutena, 3) digitaalisten subjektien kategorisointi ja näkyvyyden säätely sek…
Puhummeko nyt rasismista?
2020
Rasismi-sanaan liittyy epävarmuutta siitä, mitä se on ja missä yhteyksissä sitä voi käyttää. Yksi syy hämmennykseen on se, että sanaa on opittu varomaan. Myös osa rasismintutkijoista käyttää tutkimuksessaan muita termejä välttyäkseen rasismi-sanan aiheuttamalta vastareaktiolta. Kun rasismia on ryhdytty korvaamaan ”turvallisemmilla” termeillä, niiden merkityssisällöt ovat alkaneet hämärtyä. Tutkimuskirjallisuudessa käytetään rinnakkain ja jopa samaa tarkoittavina syrjintää, toiseuttamista, ksenofobiaa, rodullistamista ja rasismia ilman, että termien välisiä merkityseroja useinkaan pohditaan tai avataan kunnolla. Sanahämmennyksen seurauksena rasismikeskustelua käydään tutkimuksessa – ja myös …
Terminological Games: The Finnish Security Police Monitoring the Far-Right Movements in Finland During the Cold War
2020
This article focuses on the use of terms and concepts related to the nationalist movements by the Finnish security police during the Cold War. The key objective of the security police was to protect the legal order of the state and monitor the groups and phenomena potentially harmful to that cause. The previous experience regarding the rise of the radical nationalism and fascism in Finland in the 1930s and the 1947 Paris peace treaties were the historical and legal contexts within which the interpretations were made. As the article shows, interpretation made by the security police, however, relied occasionally on a limited understanding about the evolving far-right scene, thus producing ter…
Toward a refined conceptualization of IS discontinuance : Reflection on the past and a way forward
2020
Interest in studying information systems discontinuance has been increasing lately, yet there is no consensus on what it means. To improve the situation, we conduct a comprehensive review of current literature on IS discontinuance and identify 55 studies published during 1991–2017 that specifically focus on the topic. Our conceptual analysis disentangles the process, content, and context of the phenomenon, revealing that over the course of a typical IS lifecycle, IS discontinuance may materialize at least in five distinct forms: rejection, regressive discontinuance, quitting, temporary discontinuance, and replacement. After elaborating their distinctions, we discuss their theoretical, metho…
Labourista New Labouriksi - hyvinvointivaltiosta kilpailuvaltioksi : talouspoliittisen kielen muutos Labour-puolueen vaaliohjelmissa 1979-1997
2009
Tutkimuksen tehtävänä oli selvittää, kuinka Labour-puolueen käyttämä taloudellinen retoriikka ja käsitteet olivat muuttuneet parlamenttivaaliohjelmissa ajanjaksona 1979–1997. Ajanjakso on kattava kuvaus Labourin poliittisesta ja rakenteellisesta muutoksesta. Toisen maailmansodan jälkeisessä Britanniassa vallitsi jatkuva talouskasvun aikakausi, jota kutsutaan tutkimuksessa ”hyvinvointikonsensukseksi”. Vuoden 1973 öljykriisistä käynnistyi ajanjakso, jota kuvasi korkea työttömyys ja inflaatio. Britannian uusoikeisto haastoi ”hyvinvointikonsensuksen” 1970-luvun lopulla. Tutkimuksen näkökulma on muotoiltu Philip Cernyn esittämän teesin pohjalta: talouspoliittista ja yhteiskunnallista muutosta ka…
Symbol, Munch and creativity: metabolism of visual symbols
2010
In this dissertation the relationship between visual symbols and creative thinking is studied through visual, textual and conceptual analysis. The first part of the work focuses on the concept of symbol, the second part on the imagery of Edvard Munch (1863–1944), and the third part on creative thinking. The problematics of visual symbols is approached through the concept of metabolism by assuming that both perceivable and non-perceivable properties of symbols can transform when symbols are used. Because visual symbols are frequently understood as conventional signs with fixed meanings, their perceivable properties are easily ignored. However, symbols can also be unconventionally used, for e…
