Exposing ecological and economic costs of the research-implementation gap and compromises in decision making

2018

The frequently discussed gap between conservation science and practice is manifest in the gap between spatial conservation prioritization plans and their implementation. We analyzed the research-implementation gap of one zoning case by comparing results of a spatial prioritization analysis aimed at avoiding ecological impact of peat mining in a regional zoning process with the final zoning plan. We examined the relatively complex planning process to determine the gaps among research, zoning, and decision making. We quantified the ecological costs of the differing trade-offs between ecological and socioeconomic factors included in the different zoning suggestions by comparing the landscape-l…

Maineen ja tunnettuuden merkitys yhteishyvään pyrkivän organisaation legitimiteetin muodostumisessa

2010

Kolmannen sektorin merkitys yhteiskunnassa on vahvistunut. Yhteishyvään pyrkivien kolmannen sektorin organisaatioiden voi kuitenkin olla vaikeaa saavuttaa legitiimi asema, jossa niiden toimintaa pidetään riittävän tarpeellisena. Imagoilla, maineella ja tunnettuudella voidaan nähdä olevan suuri vaikutus legitimiteetin muodostumiseen ja säilyttämiseen toimintakentällä. Yhteishyvään pyrkivien organisaatioiden aineettomien ominaisuuksien merkitystä legitimiteetille ei kuitenkaan ole tutkittu paljon. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, miten yhteishyvään pyrkivän organisaation tunnettuus, mielikuvat ja maine tärkeiden sidosryhmien keskuudessa vaikuttavat legitimiteetin muodostumiseen, ja mite…

Examining key drivers of consumer experience with (non-financial) digital services : An exploratory study

2020

Recent advancements in the field of mobile information systems have transformed the consumer lifestyle as well as have changed the digital service landscape globally. This exploratory study identifies and describe key marketing drivers of consumer experience with non-financial transactions available on mobile banking apps. Data were gathered using semi-structured in-depth interviews from 12 respondents in Finland during March and April 2019. The qualitative analysis of the interview transcripts revealed three emerging themes i.e. the mobile banking app experiences and sustained usage of mobile banking apps are largely affected by consumers’ level of knowledge (consumer awareness), usefulnes…

Learner at the heart of curriculum : Theoretical analysis of core curriculum in Finland

2021

The curriculum is seen as a key steering document for teaching and learning. In Finland, its latest reform from 2014 highlights the importance of pupil’s learning rather than teaching. This article describes the learner-centered approach of the Finnish National Core Curriculum for Basic Education. The theoretical frame of reference for the study is the points of focus in the curriculum’s conception of learning and the definition of learner-centered approach based on them. The curriculum is examined from the perspective of learner-centered approach in the learning process. The research is a qualitative content analysis, which resulted in definitions of learner-centered approach and a descrip…

Constructing knowledge : epistemic practices in three television interview genres

2011

This study analyses epistemic practices in broadcast television interviews, focusing on three different interview genres: celebrity interviews, sports interviews and political interviews. In the analysis I examine the linguistic and interactional practices that are used to construct knowledge in the interviews. These practices include mobilization of different types of knowledge, use of assessments to invite first-hand knowledge, negotiation of epistemic stances while disaligning with the question, and use of assessments for claiming or contesting epistemic rights to authority and expertise. The study comprises four articles and a summary. Article I focuses on celebrity interviews and analy…

La cacciata dei moriscos e la beatificazione di Ribera

2014

Lo studio dell’espulsione dalla Spagna dei cristiani discendenti dai mori (1609-1614) si intreccia con la questione della figura controversa di Juan de Ribera, arcivescovo di Valencia santificato nel 1960, che in essa ebbe un ruolo di primo piano. Egli esercitò pressioni a favore della misura contro battezzati – compresi minori incolpevoli – su Filippo III e sugli uomini più influenti del governo, quando, tra Cinquecento e Seicento, la Chiesa sembrava muoversi in tutt’altra direzione cercando di favorire la diffusione universale del messaggio cristiano. Nell’accostarsi a questi temi largamente dibattuti nel corso dei seco- li, soprattutto dagli storici spagnoli, Giovanna Fiume ricava una …

Thermoelectric Radiation Detector Based on Superconductor-Ferromagnet Systems

2017

We suggest an ultrasensitive detector of electromagnetic fields exploiting the giant thermoelectric effect recently found in superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid structures. Compared with other types of superconducting detectors where the detected signal is based on variations of the detector impedance, the thermoelectric detector has the advantage of requiring no external driving fields. This is especially relevant in multipixel detectors, where the number of bias lines and the heating induced by them are an issue. We propose different material combinations to implement the detector and provide a detailed analysis of its sensitivity and speed. In particular, we perform a proper noise analysis…
