Past, present, and future of green product innovation
2021
Firms are under constant pressure from various governmental and nongovernmental agencies to switch from conventional environmentally polluting products to green product innovations (GPIs). However, the relevant research pertaining to GPI has been published in a diverse set of journals that vary in their scope and readership and, therefore, the scholarly contribution to the topic remains largely fragmented. This study has utilised a systematic literature review approach to examine the literary corpus on GPI to paint a holistic picture of its different aspects. The content and thematic analysis of 85 studies resulted in the extraction of seven key research themes: organisational capabilities,…
STUDENT GRAPHICAL INFORMATION LITERACY IN MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE
2017
Among the most important 21st century skills that every student needs are the ability to work with information. The key for implementing competency based approach to learning will be related to how students' ability to apply skills acquired in, for example, mathematics can be transferred to other subject contexts. Newest OECD PISA results presented in 2016 show a recurring tendency that in Latvia there is a small number of students whose performance is in accordance to the 5th and 6th level of the framework. These two levels represent students' ability to apply deep thinking skills in new learning contexts. It is necessary to analyze the causes of this situation in order to identify opportu…
Oppimisen paikat ilmiölähtöisellä kurssilla : luokanopettajaopiskelijat mielen hyvinvoinnin digitaalista lukutaitoa tutkimassa
2019
Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan, millaisia ammatillisen kehittymisen kannalta merkityksellisiä oppimisen paikkoja rakentui luokanopettajaopiskelijoiden ilmiölähtöisellä kurssilla, jossa tutkittavana ilmiönä oli mielen hyvinvoinnin digitaalinen lukutaito. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu 38 opiskelijan päiväkirjoista ja kurssin loppukirjoitelmista. Tulokset osoittavat neljä pääasiallista oppimisen paikkaa: käsitekarttatehtävät, artikkelien lukeminen, mielen hyvinvointia tukevien digitaalisten ratkaisujen arviointi opiskelijaryhmässä ja kouluvierailut. Ammatillinen kehittyminen osoittautui moniulotteiseksi prosessiksi, jossa oli monesti läsnä yhtä aikaa monenlaisia asiantuntijuuden elementtejä. Etenkin a…
Crossing Boundaries: Bodily Paradigms in Jeanette Winterson’s Fiction 1985-2000
2008
Since the publication of her first novel, Jeanette Winterson has been acclaimed as one of the most promising writers on the English postmodern literary scene. This study takes into consideration seven works, from Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit (1985) to The PowerBook (2000) in which Winterson codifies bodies as culturally constructed signs which can be re-signified and transformed. The strategies she adopts to remodel the body reveal a narrative itinerary that goes from the assertion of the lesbian body of the protagonist in Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit to the virtual bodies of the interactive world in The PowerBook. Winterson works out new body paradigms to subvert the effects of social …

Framing War and the Nonhuman in Science-Fiction Television: The Affective Politics of V
2020
This article investigates how war between humans and aliens is framed in the original and reimagined versions of the SF television series V and the affective responses and ethical considerations that these frames evoke. Inspired by the work of Judith Butler and Sarah Ahmed and by posthumanist thinking, I analyse how SF television takes part in the cultural formation of “livable lives” for both human and nonhuman beings. It is argued that the kinds of violence that art or the media, including fiction, represent matter for the formation of ethical and political responses to violence. peerReviewed

Coronavirus-related health literacy and perceived restrictiveness of protective measures among community-dwelling older persons in Finland
2021
Abstract Background Older people with limited health literacy may encounter difficulties in finding relevant information on COVID-19, understanding its relevance, and complying with recommended protective measures. Complying with such recommendations has required older as well as younger persons to change their daily lives in ways that have reduced their opportunities for engaging in many activities meaningful to them. Aims To find out from what sources older people have obtained information on protective measures, the level of their coronavirus-related health literacy (CHL), and whether CHL is associated with their perceptions of the restrictiveness of coronavirus-related protective measur…
Work-related language learning trajectories of migrant cleaners in Finland
2017
Cleaning is often the survival employment that migrants can get in their new home country. Ideally, the workplace can be a site for integration and language learning. This article explores how two migrants working as cleaners in Finland narrate their work-related Finnish language learning trajectories. The research is designed by applying nexus analysis (Scollon & Scollon, 2004), which focuses on social action in the intersection of interaction order, participants’ life experiences, and discourses in place. The social action in focus here is investment (Darvin & Norton, 2015), which means a commitment to developing language skills to achieve one’s aspirations. The article also analy…
