Mobile Phone Theft, Resale, and Violence in Dar es Salaam

2021

In Africa’s towns and cities more than those on any other continent, governments seem unable to ensure security for their citizens. The majority of urban residents find themselves ‘entangled within power dynamics that position them at the city’s margins, literally and figuratively’ (Myers 2011) . Although urban informality is defined by its ‘illegality’ from the perspective of regulatory elites (Potts 2007) , some informal activities are viewed as predatory or harmful by the urban residents who must deal with them in their everyday lives. These include bribery by officials and service providers, dispossession of inheritance by relatives, brokerage fraud, extortion by local government offici…

Kohti psykoosia ja sen yli! : mielenterveysmeemit ja hyvinvoinnin tulkintojen etiikka

2023

Sosiaalisessa mediassa viraalisti leviävissä huumorikuvissa eli meemeissä käsitellään yhä enenevässä määrin myös mielenterveyttä. Meemit heijastelevat ja tuottavat kulttuurisia käsityksiä mielenterveydestä, sen hoidosta ja merkityksistä. Tässä artikkelissa paneudutaan mielenterveysmeemien tutkimiseen liittyviin tutkimuseettisiin ja metodologisiin kysymyksiin erityisesti etnografian ja multimodaalisen diskurssianalyysin näkökulmasta. Erilaiset lähestymistavat tuottavat erilaista tietoa meemeistä ja niiden tekemiseen ja jakamiseen liittyvistä tekijöistä, ja asettavat erilaisia haasteita tutkimukselle ja aineistosta tehtäville tulkinnoille. Myös meemeissä viljelty usein mustakin huumori lisää …

Serving for state and industry by doing nothing but practice and play : Football shamateurism in East Germany, Hungary and Romania

2022

This presentation aims at discussing the opportunities and limitations of football players in East Germany, Hungary and Romania in the period between the end of World War II (1945) and the collapse of the Eastern bloc (1989). Football served as an important propaganda tool for the communist regimes in Eastern Europe. Therefore, the political elites supported football players financially with sinecures in the military, police, and in commercial and industrial companies, as well as by releasing them for training and competitions in their associated clubs. Their status as “shamateurs” granted them privileges in socialist societies over common people but also limited their possibilities to deve…

Our goal was to describe the 10 most challenging aspects that need to be considered when making hybrid education efficient and enjoyable for children. In this context, by hybrid education we refer to both emergency online education that took place in the COVID-19 outbreak in spring 2020 and to various forms of providing education combining online and onsite environments during the pandemic years. nonPeerReviewed

The “Architectures” of Successful Remote Collaborative Problem Solving : Exploring Commitment in Dyadic Interaction

2022

During successful collaborative problem solving (CPS), participants are expected not only to share and process information to solve the task, but also to show responsiveness and commitment to their partners. Accordingly, this exploratory study aims, via two contrasting cases, to acquire a preliminary understanding of how commitments and successful CPS come together in remote, dyadic interaction. To do so, the study relies on objective and subjective measures and combines group with individual levels of analysis on log files and cued interviews. The results revealed how commitments were interrelated with efficient coordination of interactions during CPS. Coordinated, well-communicated proble…

Developing a globalization competence assessment framework and its application to Finnish and Japanese higher education

2013

Nykyajan kansainvälistyvä maailma luo uusia vaatimuksia valmistuneille ja ammattilaisille tietojärjestelmätieteen (TJT) alalla. Monikulttuurisessa ja hajautetussa ympäristössä työskentelystä on tullut arkipäivää, joten tarvittava pätevyys kansainvälisessä ympäristössä työskentelyyn on edellytys. Tämänhetkinen TJT:n opetussuunnitelma ei kuitenkaan ota kansainvälistymisopetusta huomioon riittävässä määrin. Opiskelijoiden todenmukaisen pätevyyden määrittämiseksi on arvioitava varsinaista kompetenssia pelkän tiedon sijaan. Tämän työn tarkoituksena on vastata edellä mainittuihin haasteisiin rakentamalla viitekehys opettajien käyttöön kansainvälistymiseen tarvittavien kompetenssien määrittämiseks…

Sustainable antibullying program implementation : School profiles and predictors

2020

We examined the sustainability of the KiVa antibullying program in Finland from its nationwide roll‐out in 2009 to 2016. Using latent class analyses, we identified four different patterns of implementation. The persistent schools (43%) maintained a high likelihood of participation throughout the study period. The awakened (14%) had a decreasing trend during the first years, but then increased the likelihood of program participation. The tail‐offs (20%) decreased in the likelihood of participating after the third year, and the drop‐offs (23%) already after the first year. The findings suggest that many schools need support during the initial years to launch and maintain the implementation of…
