The relationship between context, structure, and processes with outcomes of 6 regional diabetes networks in Europe
2018
BackgroundWhile health service provisioning for the chronic condition Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) often involves a network of organisations and professionals, most evidence on the relationships between the structures and processes of service provisioning and the outcomes considers single organisations or solo practitioners. Extending Donabedian's Structure-Process-Outcome (SPO) model, we investigate how differences in quality of life, effective coverage of diabetes, and service satisfaction are associated with differences in the structures, processes, and context of T2D services in six regions in Finland, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Spain, and UK.MethodsData collection consisted of: a) systemat…
Diversity begets diversity: A global perspective on gender equality in scientific society leadership.
2018
Research shows that gender inequality is still a major issue in academic science, yet academic societies may serve as underappreciated and effective avenues for promoting female leadership. That is, society membership is often self-selective, and board positions are elected (with a high turnover compared to institutions)—these characteristics, among others, may thus create an environment conducive to gender equality. We therefore investigate this potential using an information-theoretic approach to quantify gender equality (male:female ratios) in zoology society boards around the world. We compare alternative models to analyze how society characteristics might predict or correlate with the …
Equal access to the top? Measuring selection into finnish academia
2019
In this article, we draw a parallel between equality of opportunity in educational transitions and equality of opportunity in academic careers. In both cases, many methodological problems can be ameliorated by the use of longitudinal rather than cross-sectional data. We illustrate this point by using Finnish full-population register data to follow the educational and academic careers of the 1964–1966 birth cohorts from birth to the present day. We show how the Finnish professoriate is highly selected both in terms of parental background and in terms of gender. Individuals of different backgrounds differ greatly in the likelihood of completing different educational and academic transitions, …

Femininity in films : Presentation of female teachers in school movies
2010
Koulumaailmaan sijoittuvat ja sitä kuvaavat elokuvat ovat todella yleisiä, ja yleensä niissä keskeisessä roolissa on opettaja ja hänen toimintansa koulussa oppilaiden ja muiden kollegojen kanssa. Opettajat elokuvissa on aihe, jota on tutkittu aiemmin jonkin verran tosin melko yleisellä tasolla erittelemättä esimerkiksi eri sukupuolta edustavia opettajia. Elokuvissa esiintyviä opettajahahmoja on tutkittu jaottelemalla heidät hyviin ja huonoihin opettajiin sen perusteella, millaisiksi heidät kuvataan ja millaisia piirteitä heihin yhdistetään. Näitä piirteitä on tutkittu kiinnittämällä huomiota esimerkiksi siihen, millainen suhde opettajalla on oppilaisiin ja millainen hänen roolinsa on luokk…
Attitudes, Sentiments, and Concerns About Inclusive Education of Teachers and Teaching Students in Spain.
2020
The Sentiments, Attitudes, and Concerns About Inclusive Education Revised scale was developed to close the existing gap in measuring perceptions of inclusive education in the educative context. It has been widely used in other cultures but not in Spain. Our objective has been to analyze the psychometric properties in the Spanish sample by studying their relationship with empathy and social dominance variables, finally taking into account sociodemographic variables to observe if there are differences. The scale was applied to a total of 647 subjects: 323 university-students (18–45 years) and 324 in-service teachers (35–58 years). The scale showed psychometric properties suitable for the gene…
Fighting performance as a predictor of mating success in male black grouse
2010
As a consequence of certain conflicting evolutionary interests of males and females, the sexes have taken on different reproductive roles. In many species, where females invest more in the production of offspring, males compete for the opportunities to reproduce and females attempt to choose the highest quality males to sire their offspring. Males of different species signal their quality in a variety of ways, including physical cues such as color signals or exaggerated secondary sexual characters, behavioral signals and acquisition of a dominance status through aggression towards other males. In the lekking black grouse only a few males manage to copulate and active fighting is required fo…
Asiakkaan kokema arvo näköislehden käyttöönotossa
2013
Suomen media-alalla on käynnissä murroskausi, joka on muuttamassa perinteistä mediatalojen liiketoimintamallia. Tämä mediamurros on alkanut jo 1990-luvun lopussa, kun median digitalisoituminen ja Internet ovat yleistyneet yhteiskunnassamme. Jakelukanavamurros on alkanut muuttaa mediakenttää, sillä jakelumalli ja ansaintalogiikka ovat muuttumassa yhä kiihtyvää tahtia hyvin erilaisiksi. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan sanomalehti Keskisuomalaisen näköislehteä asiakkaiden kokeman arvon kautta ja tutkitaan kuinka havaitut arvot vaikuttavat asiakkaan käyttöönottoaikomukseen ja tätä kautta näköislehden todelliseen käyttöön. Lisäksi tutkimus selvittää, mitkä arvoista ovat tärkeimpiä käyttöönotto…

SMS Messages in a Daily Finnish Newspaper : The Contect of Proverb Performances
2016
The article focuses on Finnish proverbs as a part of contemporary colloquial written language in everyday use and context. The article offers a view on what is happening with proverbs in the vernacular in Finnish everyday life. Most traditional Finnish proverbs originate from an agrarian context and still use agrarian language, even if nowadays they live in a new context with a new meaning. As empirical material this article uses a special case that demonstrates the use of proverbs in one Finnish newspaper: proverbs in SMS messages published as a letter to the editor in a newspaper. peerReviewed
