Men will be Men? : Masculinities on display in the Facebook communication practices of Pakistani men
2021
In the past decade, the popularization of social media in Pakistan has greatly influenced the way in which people communicate and interact with each other. The rapidly evolving nature of online social media communication in the country when viewed against the backdrop of the country’s socio-cultural characteristics and religion is particularly significant. Facebook, being the prime social media platform in Pakistan has been revolutionary and liberating because while acting as a medium of communication, which transgresses the traditional manner of gendered social interactions, it has at the same time enabled the users to perpetuate and reinforce the existing gender ideology. As a result, Fac…

Robotization of Mobile Communication
2020
The aim of this chapter is to systematize the discussion regarding robotization of mobile communication. The chapter begins by clarifying the fundamental role of both robot hardware and robot software in this process. This is followed by a critical overview of existing research, which is classified into three categories. First, robotization is understood as the hybridization of the human body with existing ordinary mobile devices. Second, the incorporation of new robotic software, such as algorithms, artificial intelligence, and virtual assistants, into mobile devices is seen to robotize them from inside. Third, the convergence of smart communication devices, typically as user interfaces wi…
What do we know about the sporting experiences of gender and sexual minority athletes and coaches? A scoping review
2020
Scholarship on gender and sexual diversity in sport has advanced during the last decade and it is nowadays recognised that we need a better understanding of how to facilitate inclusive sport cultures that allow all people to participate as themselves. The purpose of this scoping review was to map research activity on the sporting experiences of gender and sexual minority (GSM) athletes and coaches, identify gaps in the literature and provide suggestions for future research, policy and practice. Our literature search in four different databases yielded 58 relevant studies. Based on their focal areas, five dominant interconnected themes were identified: (1) identity, (2) discrimination, (3) c…
Fathers’ narratives on support and agency : a case study of fathers in a Finnish child welfare NGO
2017
In Finland, one of the Nordic countries, shared parenting is widely supported through, e.g. family policies and legislation. This is also evident in daily parental practices, as fathers’ share in childcare has increased notably since the late 1980s. Unfortunately, this is not the whole picture of Finnish and Nordic fatherhood: practitioners in child welfare also encounter many fathers with various problems in parenting and life management. In this article, we examine the narratives of fathers who have sought and received support from a Finnish nationwide child welfare NGO. Our research question is: What types of narratives on seeking and receiving support and on their agency do fathers prod…
Stimuli-responsive bile acid-based metallogels forming in aqueous media
2015
Abstract The synthesis and gelation properties of a picolinic acid conjugated bile acid derivative in the presence of metal salts along with the stimuli-responsiveness of the systems are reported. The gels are formed in the presence of Cu 2+ ions in the solvent systems composed of 30–50% of organic solvent (MeOH, acetonitrile, or acetone) in water. The gels respond to various stimuli: they can be formed upon sonication or shaking, and their gel–sol transformation can be triggered by a variety of chemical species. NMR, MS, and SEM techniques are exploited in order to gain a deeper insight on the self-assembled systems.
Imaging features of histological subtypes of hepatocellular carcinoma: Implication for LI-RADS
2021
Background & Aims The histopathological subtypes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are associated with distinct clinical features and prognoses. This study aims to report Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS)-defined imaging features of different HCC subtypes in a cohort of resected tumours and to assess the influence of HCC subtypes on computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) LI-RADS categorisation in the subgroup of high-risk patients. Methods This retrospective institutional review board-approved study included patients with resected HCCs and available histopathological classification. Three radiologists independently reviewed preoperative CT and MRI exams. T…
Translocation (10;11;22)(p14;q24;q12) Characterized by Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization in a Case of Ewing's Tumor
2001
It is well recognized that the identification by classic cytogenetics of t(11;22)(q24;q12) is a useful aid in the accurate diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma and related tumors. This translocation induces the EWS/FLI-1 fusion transcript, which can be detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Recent studies have also used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to demonstrate the translocation. The authors coupled classic cytogenetics and FISH on tumor cells from the original specimen, the local recurrence, and the pulmonary metastasis as well as from the xenografted tumors in a case of extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma. FISH analysis not only confirmed the cytogenetic results but …
Verbindungen zwischen der mehrsprachigen Sprachidentität und Aspekten der psychischen Gesundheit
2018
Tämä maisterin tutkielma keskittyy tutkimaan yksilön monikielisen kieli-identiteetin yhteyttä mielenterveyteen. Tutkimus on toteutettu tapaustutkimuksena haastattelemalla neljää monikielistä yksilöä, jotka kokevat monikielisyytensä vaikuttavan jollain tavoin heidän mielenterveyteensä tai siihen tapaan, jolla he käsittelevät mielenterveyteen liittyviä teemoja. Haastattelut litteroitiin ja nämä litteraatit muodostavat tutkimuksen aineiston, jota on yhteensä noin 150 sivua. Kolme haastateltavista oli naisia ja yksi mies. Tutkimuksen lähtökohta oli lähteä tutkimaan monikielisyyden positiivisia vaikutuksia yksilöön, mutta tutkimuksen aikana nousi esiin myös negatiivisia vaikutuksia, kuten itseva…
Sosiaalipalvelualan yrittäjien työkyky, työtyytyväisyys ja lopettamisaikeet
2013
Sosiaalipalvelut on kasvava toimiala Suomessa ja yksityisille palveluille ennustetaan kasvavaa kysyntää. Yrittäjien työkyky ja työtyytyväisyys on pohja menestyvälle yritystoiminnalle ja palvelujen hyvälle laadulle. Aiempien tutkimusten perusteella tiedämme, että sosiaalialan yrittäjät voivat hyvin Suomessa. Pitkät työpäivät, hoito- ja hallintotyön yhtäaikaisuus, asiakkuuksien epävarmuus sekä työn ja perhe-elämän yhteensovittamisen ongelmat asettavat uhkia työkyvylle ja yrittäjämotivaatiolle. Suurten yritysten tulo markkinoille muuttaa kilpailuasetelmia. Tässä tutkimuksessa tuotettiin tietoa suomalaisten sosiaalipalvelualan yrittäjien työkyvystä, työtyytyväisyydestä, yrittäjämotivaatiosta ja…
