Socio-technical risk governance through dyadic risk dialogue : copper corrosion as a safety challenge in the geological disposal of spent nuclear fuel
2014
The risk of corrosion in oxygen-free water has become an issue of scientific controversy possibly even threatening the realisation of the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel in Finland and Sweden. In Sweden there has been extensive discussion about the issue since 2007, but only recently has this debate increased in Finland although the similar disposal concept (KBS-3) is applied in both countries. In this report, we analyse how the implementer, Posiva (a Finnish nuclear waste company), and the regulator, STUK (the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority), have been engaged in a dialogue on the risk of copper corrosion. For over thirty years the implementer and regulator have been e…

EU:n maatalouspolitiikka ja kestävä kehitys
2015
Maatalous on EU:n pisimmälle integroitu toimiala ja politiikanala. Yhteisen maatalouspolitiikan tarina 1960-luvulta nykyaikaan kuvaa muuttuvia ja monipuolistuvia yhteiskunnallisia haasteita, joihin politiikkatoimenpiteillä on vastattu. Alkuaikoina päähuomio oli elintarvikehuollossa ja viljelijöiden toimeentulossa, mutta ajan myötä mukaan on tullut vahvoja alueellisia, ympäristöllisiä ja myös kulttuurisia painotuksia. Kestävän kehityksen käsittein tarkasteltuna yhteinen maatalouspolitiikka on muuttunut moniulotteisemmaksi. Viimeisimmillä uudistuksilla on tavoiteltu kestävyyden sekä taloudelliseen, ympäristölliseen, sosiaaliseen että kulttuuriseen ulottuvuuteen liittyviä muutoksia. Kestävä ke…
Sense of belonging in a digitalised care work community
2021
This chapter uses the theoretical framework of sense of belonging to explore how eldercare workers from Finnish service housing units for older people describe the use of digital devices and applications in their work and the work practices that relate to their sense of belonging. The study is based on interview data (n = 25) that was collected in 2018 for a study on digitalisation of eldercare. The chapter asks: what does a sense of belonging mean for care workers’ agency in a digital era? The analysis concentrates especially on the practices of belonging and how they are enacted in a digitalised work environment. The chapter proposes that in the digital era, a sense of belonging is partic…
