Construction and testing of the Moral Development Scale for Professionals (MDSP)

2010

Moral development among students is central for nursing education, because nursing is informed by moral ends, and it is essential that professional nurses have a well developed ability for moral behaviour, ethical reasoning and decision making. The aim of this study was to construct a new instrument for measuring moral development according to Kohlberg's theory of moral development among students and professionals, and initially test it for reliability and validity among students in professional education. Thirty-two items following the conventional and postconventional stages in the theory were developed. Different actions for reducing the items were implemented. The final version of the i…

The ‘grave of the Court Pit’, A rediscovered Bronze Age tomb from Carchemish

2014

This paper examines the British Museum unpublished records related to an Early Bronze (EB) Age pithos burial uncovered a century ago in the Inner Town at Carchemish. The grave, cursorily cited and variously dated (Chalcolithic, EB or even LBA) in the final reports, was described in some detail by Hogarth and Thompson; a precise dating is, however, possible today thanks to the information of paramount importance given by T. E. Lawrence who identified and took a picture of the associated finds, which was recently rediscovered in the Carchemish Archives. The pithos can be now ascribed to the third quarter of the third millennium BC and helps to confirm the recent theory according to which the …

Generalized Braid Groups and Mapping Class Gropus

1997

Given a chord system of D2, we associate a generalized braid group, a surface and a homomorphism from this braid group to the mapping class group of the surface. We disprove a conjecture stated in an article by Perron and Vannier by showing that generally this homomorphism is not injective.

Unauthorized copying of software and levels of moral development: a literature analysis and its implications for research and practice

2004

.  Several approaches for and against the unauthorized copying of software have been proposed. These approaches can be divided into two categories: moral reasoning and solution. These categories of approaches to unauthorized copying of software are scrutinized in the light of Kohlberg's theory of Cognitive Moral Development. The results suggest that most approaches presenting solutions to unauthorized copying of software have focused attention on the lower levels of moral development, while approaches at the highest stage are few and far between. No single approach covers all the stages of moral development. The implications of this analysis for practice and research are discussed.

Alaraajojen luun mineraalipitoisuuden ja polven nivelruston väliset yhteydet postmenopausaalisilla naisilla

2011

Tämän poikkileikkaustutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää luuston (reisiluun kaula, lanneranka L2-L4) mineraalitiheysarvojen ja polven nivelruston (reisiluu, sääriluu) eheyttä kuvaavien dGEMRIC-arvojen välistä yhteyttä postmenopausaalisilla naisilla. Tutkimukseen rekrytoitiin 82 naista (keskimääräiseltä iältään 57,7 vuotta, SD 4,2) lehti-ilmoituksen perusteella. Sisäänottokriteerinä oli rtg:llä arvioidun Kellgren-Lawrence-luokituksen (K/L) mukaan ensimmäisen (K/L1) tai toisen (K/L2) asteen lievä polven nivelrikko. Reisiluun kaulan ja lannerangan (L2–L4) BMC-arvot mitattiin DXA-laitteistolla. Tutkimushenkilöillä ei ollut osteoporoosia, jonka kynnysarvona käytettiin T-arvoa >2,5. Tibian ja …

The ´champagne-cup` period at Carchemish. A review of the Early Bronze Age levels on the Acropolis Mound and the problem of the Inner Town.

2007

The pioneer excavations conducted by the British Museum expedition at the famous site of Carchemish in the 1910’s brought to light a large number of buildings, sculptures and inscriptions which provide an outline of the urban layout of the Iron Age city and its monuments. While many scholars have often attempted to re-examine the epigraphic material as well as the style and chronology of the major works of this period in order to set them in a proper historical context, much less attention has been paid to the earlier levels mainly uncovered on the Acropolis mound, ranging from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. This paper discusses the archaeological evidence available and attempted to recon…

The Understanding of Human Rights and Rule of Law from the Perspective of Kohlberg’s Theory

2015

Human rights, democracy and the rule of law are considered to be the foundations of the normative order of modern societies (Habermas, 1996). Even though the universal validity of human rights is often criticized, they represent an ethical minimum consensus of the global society as conventions on human rights have been ratified by more than 150 states.
