The significance of perceived development opportunities in the context of retention : comparing ageing and younger nurses
2012
Perceived development opportunities and reward satisfaction as antecedents of nurses’ job withdrawal intentions
2016
Retention of nurses has received considerable attention in recent years due to the ageing population and the shortage of nurses. However, most of the studies have concentrated on either older nurses’ early retirement or younger nurses’ turnover intentions. This study analyses the antecedents of different forms of job withdrawal intentions with special reference to perceived development opportunities and reward satisfaction. A quantitative survey was conducted among nurses in one Finnish University hospital. A total of 510 nurses completed the questionnaire, representing a 54.4% response rate. The results demonstrated that job withdrawal intentions were relatively common and age-dependent am…
Nuevas perspectivas de análisis para entender la migración cualificada del sur de Europa hacia México
2018
This article focuses on skilled migration flows from Southern Europe into Mexico. From semi-structured interviews with Spanish and Italian immigrants living in four Mexican cities of Mexico, it addresses both reasons for immigration and labour incorporation in Mexican labour markets. Specifically, it explores: i) the role of the economic crisis and the lack of good employment in the countries of origin as a key factor when deciding an international migration; ii) the employment opportunities offered in Mexican labour markets for the highly-skilled immigrants, and iii) the role played by the Mexican state and its current immigration law when channelling this group into the labour market
Diversidad de género, igualdad de oportunidades y entornos laborales
2004
Gender diversity can be considered a useful strategy for improving equal opportunities in the labour market. It is also a valid criterion for optimising human resources in management professions. Unlike other strategies for promoting equal opportunities that have been applied in political or social spheres (quota system, parity representation, etc.), gender diversity combines humanitarian criteria based on citizenship rights for women with maximalist arguments relating to the value such a strategy can add to labour organisations. The Divers@: género y diversidad project lays down a working method and operational model for analysing possible imbalance caused by the specific gender diversity …
Evolution of Digital Innovations Based on Entrepreneurial Opportunities
2019
Digital innovations evolve unpredictable as the characteristics of digital technology provide diverse opportunities for entrepreneurs. The flexible, malleable, and unbounded nature of digital technologies makes the evolution process unpredictable as entrepreneurs can rarely estimate beforehand how new digital technologies might impact the evolution process. It is also hard to predict how customers will react to the changes enabled by digital technologies. In this longitudinal case study, we were interested in different competitive moves that entrepreneurs apply to effectuate changes in the evolutionary pathway of digital innovations. Further, we were fascinated by how the evolution of digit…

European citizenship : opportunities and abuses in private international family law
2021
El ensayo se centra en el papel de la autonomía jurídica en la regulación del estado familiar y las relaciones familiares entre los miembros de la unidad familiar típica o atípica. De hecho, el papel de la autonomía jurídica también ha sido ampliado con la ciudadanía europea, entendida por el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea como una fuente autónoma de derechos. Esta ciudadanía, que se suma a la nacional, ha permitido a la pareja ?estática?, aún en ausencia del carácter transnacional de la situación familiar, elegir la ley y los instrumentos de los ordenamientos jurídicos extranjeros a aplicar al ámbito patrimonial y a las relaciones existenciales de la comunidad de vida. El ensayo …
Behavioural treatment of improper eating by an institutionalised woman with profound intellectual disability—description of a successful intervention
2002
Intensive 11-day behavioural training of an institutionalised woman with profound intellectual disability was used to teach proper eating by reducing her eating errors. The methods used included an increased number of learning opportunities, graduated guidance, the use of social reinforcement, and mild punishment through simple correction of eating errors. The treatment was faded into a maintenance phase. After the intensive training phase, the participant ceased to eat with her fingers from a plate, and her eating changed to a more tidy habit. She was also released from having her hand tied during the meals. The results were maintained during an informal follow-up 4 years later.
A Pilot Study on Developing Newsgames in Collaboration between Journalism and Computer Science Students
2019
Abstract Producing digital and interactive journalistic products offers unique and important new learning opportunities for journalism education. This study analysed the experiences of two pilot courses on so-called ‘newsgames’ in a Finnish university in 2015 and 2017. The data consisted of the newsgames and other materials produced by the students, student feedback concerning the course and observations of teachers throughout the project. Our analysis demonstrates how producing newsgames in the context of higher education may foster project-based learning experiences, something that has been relatively rare in traditional journalism education. Collaboration with media companies also offere…
