Jelmu-suomea : suomen kielen käyttö ja oppiminen vapaaehtoistyössä
2016
Maisterintutkielmassani tarkastelen suomen kielen non-formaalia eli suunnitelluissa toiminnoissa mutta koulukontekstin ulkopuolella tapahtuvaa oppimista. Tutkin Jyväskylän elävän musiikin yhdistys Jelmu ry:n kansainvälisten vapaaehtoistyöntekijöiden suomen kielen käyttöä ja oppimista. Olen tehnyt Jelmussa vapaaehtoistyötä 15 vuoden ajan, joten tutkimuksessani on etnografista otetta. Suomen kielen oppimista vapaaehtoistyössä on tutkittu vasta erittäin vähän, vaikka kielen oppimisesta työelämässä on jo jonkin verran tutkimustietoa. Esimerkiksi työyhteisön tuella on havaittu olevan merkitystä maahanmuuttajataustaisen työntekijän kielen oppimiselle. Tutkimukseni aineisto on kerätty haastattelem…
Managing the repatriation of professionals following overseas assignment
2017
Despite decades of research about culture shock, and latterly but not to the same extent, reverse culture shock, it seems that little is understood about how to manage the process of repatriation after an overseas assignment in the commercial world. Attrition rates of repatriates leaving their employers within the first year following their return continue to rise as those individuals consistently report feeling undervalued by their employers. This study is concerned with how best to manage the process of repatriation from the employees’ point of view. It therefore looks at how a group of repatriating Finns from various professional backgrounds perceived the effects of reverse culture shock…
Re-entry issues and challenges of Finnish repatriates : study of corporate expatriates, employees of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and employees …
2015
This study provides an insight to the re-entry and re-adaptation experiences of three different privileged, voluntary, temporary groups of Finnish professionals. The main goal for the qualitative research was to find greater understanding of the re-entry phenomenon, and outline and identify the most important aspects of the home country re-entry process of the chosen sojourner groups. In addition, the study aimed to clarify possible differences and similarities of the re-entry experiences between these groups. The study was mainly based on the repatriation adjustment model of Black, Gregersen, and Mendenhall from 1992, although theories and studies of various other academic scholars were al…

Compound climate extreme events threaten migratory birds’ conservation in western U.S.
2022
In a warming world, more intense and frequent compound climate extreme events pose serious challenges to biodiversity and conservation on Earth as one of the 2030 United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs): “Life On Land” (SDG 15). In summer 2020, concurrent swelling wildfires and a sudden cold snap in the western U.S. killed a massive number of migratory birds. In August 2020, the hot and humid weather in response to the wildfire radiation and the oceanic evaporation could result in killing heat stress for migratory birds along the coastal shoreline, particularly in California. The heat and smoke of wildfires forced the migratory birds to abandon such feeding grounds towards inla…
Negative impact of freeze–thaw cycles on the survival of tardigrades
2023
Global warming effects in temperate and polar regions include higher average temperatures and a decrease in snow cover, which together lead to an increase in the number of freeze–thaw cycles (FTC). These changes could affect the fitness of both terrestrial and aquatic species. In this study, we tested how tardigrades, ubiquitous microscopic invertebrates, face FTC. Tardigrades are amongst the most resistant animals to unfavorable conditions, including long and deep freezing periods, and are an emerging model group for invertebrate ecology and evolution. We used 12 populations of tardigrades, representing different families within order Parachela, inhabiting different ecosystems (glaciers, s…
