Epävarmuus, muutos ja ammatilliset jännitteet : suomalainen sosiaalityö 1990-luvulla sosiaalityöntekijöiden tulkinnoissa
2005
Hannu Piiroinen tarkasteli väitöskirjatyössään kahdessa suomalaisessa sosiaalialan ammattilehdessä (Sosiaaliturva ja Sosiaalityöntekijä) vuosina 1990 – 1997 julkaistujen sosiaalityöntekijöiden kirjoitusten kautta rakentuvaa kuvaa suomalaisesta sosiaalityöstä. Hän kiinnitti huomiota niihin tulkintatapoihin, joilla sosiaalityöntekijät tekevät ymmärrettäväksi sosiaalityöhön liittyviä epävarmuustekijöitä ja ammatillisia jännitteitä 1990-luvun Suomessa. Piiroinen osoittaa, että sosiaalityöntekijät tulkitsevat 1990-luvun laman ja yhteiskunnallis-kulttuurisen rakennemuutoksen saaneen aikaan epävarmuutta ja ammatillisia jännitteitä sosiaalityössä. Sosiaalityön epävarmuus liittyy laman mukanaan tuom…
The Rise of Finnish-Language Popular Literacy Viewed through Correspondence to Newspapers 1856–70
2014
In the mid-19th century, a significant number of persons among the Finnish-speaking rural populace learned to read fluently and write for the first time. One of the first purposes to which Finnish-speakers could put their writing was letters to the press. This paper first provides a brief overview of how rural Finnish-speaking commoners acquired functional literacy. It then examines what letters to newspapers written by self-educated commoners reveal about writers’ motives, the uses to which writing could be put in mid- 19th century Finland, and the tensions which arose when newly literate commoners began to criticize their social superiors in the press and no longer needed their help in re…
Exotic Meats: An Alternative Food Source
2019
International audience; Exotic meats were a protein source for human diet for many years. However, the massive capture caused the overexploitation and placed many reptiles and amphibious on the verge of extinction. Therefore, the captive rearing, the control during slaughtering and processing has been proposed as an alternative to the capture of wild animals. The present chapter shows the nutritional composition of this kind of meat, characterized by low levels of fat, high contents of protein, essential amino acids, fatty acids (especially long-chain n-3) and minerals indicating that their consumption may be beneficial for human health. However, very little data is available on the nutriti…

Flying-Related Concerns among Airline Customers in Finland and Sweden during COVID-19
2022
COVID-19 hit the global economy hard in early 2020, and airline industry was among the biggest commercial victims. Governments closed borders, the virus scared off travelers and the aircraft stayed on the ground to a large extent. The forecasted record year turned out to be the worst in the history of aviation. This study focused on the concerns of airline customers and analyzed the differences between the customer behavior in two focus markets, Finland and Sweden. The article is based on a questionnaire and the answers of 2004 airline customers. The results show that even though the overall COVID-19 strategy was very different between the focus markets, the same concerns still arose. The m…
Patterns of structural and sequential ambidexterity in cross-border media management
2019
ABSTRACT Organisational ambidexterity – the ability of a company to successfully link exploitation and exploration – is a fruitful approach for cross-border management. It is a crucial concept for media companies that, because of the dual (cultural and economic) character of their products, need to reconcile strategies of mere expansion with local customisation when engaging across borders. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with international media managers, this article captures patterns of ambidextrous strategising and organising in cross-border media activities. The article focuses on digitisation, which has altered the opportunities for balancing exploration and exploitation in inte…
Evaluation of the antibacterial power and biocompatibility of zinc oxide nanorods decorated graphene nanoplatelets: New perspectives for antibiodeter…
2017
Background Nanotechnologies are currently revolutionizing the world around us, improving the quality of our lives thanks to a multitude of applications in several areas including the environmental preservation, with the biodeterioration phenomenon representing one of the major concerns. Results In this study, an innovative nanomaterial consisting of graphene nanoplatelets decorated by zinc oxide nanorods (ZNGs) was tested for the ability to inhibit two different pathogens belonging to bacterial genera frequently associated with nosocomial infections as well as biodeterioration phenomenon: the Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and the Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A time- and dose-…

Tactics of invisibility : How people in vulnerable positions make datafied everyday life livable
2022
Various data platforms force the individual into constant presence and visibility. However, the ways in which datafied environments relate to experienced vulnerabilities in our everyday lives remain unclear. Through diaries produced by and interviews with participants from three groups who occupy presumably vulnerable positions and who currently live in Finland, we explore the ways in which people challenge expectations and prior assumptions related to forced visibility. Using the concept of tactics developed by de Certeau, we aim to understand how individuals make everyday surveillance culture livable through what we call tactics of invisibility. Based on our analysis, we identify three k…
