Ikä, identiteetti ja ohjaava koulutus. Ikääntyvät pitkäaikaistyöttömät oppimisyhteiskunnan haasteena

2007

Piia Silvennoinen tutki väitöskirjassaan, millainen merkitys työvoimapoliittisella koulutuksella on ikääntyvien pitkäaikaistyöttömien elämässä. Koulutusten oletetaan parantavan ikääntyvien pitkäaikaistyöttömien työmarkkinakelpoisuutta ja elämänhallintaa. Silvennoinen haki vastausta siihen, miten ikääntyvät pitkäaikaistyöttömät itse suhtautuvat työvoimapoliittisiin koulutuksiin; onko niistä heille haittaa vai hyötyä. Silvennoinen kertoo, että koulutuksen hyödyllisyyttä arvioidaan sen työllistävän vaikutuksen kautta. – Mitä vähemmän koulutus työllistää, sitä enemmän myös sen muut merkitykset menettävät arvoaan ikääntyvien pitkäaikaistyöttömien elämässä, Silvennoinen toteaa. Nykyinen itseohjau…

2016

The article refers to the evaluation of local informers regarding collective overview of functioning of industrial settlement.

Modernizando la nación : Democracia y autoritarismo en el comité fílmico de la industria petrolera (Venezuela, 1947-1951)

2020

Tras la reforma petrolera de 1943, las compañías petroleras transnacionales con intereses en Venezuela se alinearon con el nacionalismo moderado de las nuevas élites gobernantes y se presentaron como indispensables para el progreso de la nación. Para esto, establecieron departamentos de relaciones públicas, programas de responsabilidad social y de mecenazgo cultural (Tinker Salas, 2009). En este contexto, también crearon programas fílmicos destinados a su fuerza laboral y al público venezolano. El primero de estos programas fue el Comité Fílmico de la Industria Petrolera (1947-1951). Enfocando este programa fílmico desde la categoría cine empresarial, propuesta por Hediger y Vonderau (2009a…

Termomodernizacje budynków, a miejsca lęgowe chronionych gatunków ptaków - zagrożenie czy szansa?

2017

Teoretycznie prace związane z termoizolacją budynków, szczególnie bloków mieszkalnych, powinny zostać poprzedzone ekspertyzą ornitologiczną. Nawet jeśli takowa będzie miała miejsce, montowane budki lęgowe kompensujące utratę miejsc lęgowych dla takich gatunków jak wróbel (Passer domesticus) lub jerzyk (Apus apus) często wieszane są nieprawidłowo lub zasiedlone są w następnym sezonie przez inne dziuplaki - głównie szpaki (Sturnus vulgaris). Wobec tego, z punktu widzenia ochrony lęgowych i zagrożonych gatunków, termoizolacja jest uważana za szkodliwą i przynoszącą straty. Jednak w miarę upływu czasu,paradoksalnie, warstwa izolacyjna stwarza ponownie warunki do gniazdowania głównie dzięki nied…

Surveillance and student dissent: the case of the Franco dictatorship.

2014

The rising of a powerful democratic student movement in Spain in the sixties represented a substantial stimulus to the repressive modernization of the Franco dictatorship. New containment strategies were adopted in the context of the counter-subversion and intelligence policies that the USA administration and their allies were also implementing. From this assumption, this paper analyzes the specific dynamics of surveillance on student protest, exploring the previous situation at university, the challenges introduced by the youth upheaval, the diverse responses of the establishment, the role of the American aid, and finally the consequences both for the dissidents and for the dictatorship it…
