Intellectual property strategies and firm growth : evidence from Finnish small business data
2012
The goal of this study is to shed light on the relationship between intellectual property (IP) strategies and firm growth. In brief, IP strategies are means of capturing returns on innovation investments. Employment effects and sales growth effects of innovations have been studied extensively in both theoretical and empirical economic literature but prior research has seldom included IP strategies into the analysis. There is little knowledge, whether there exists growth rate differences among firms that use different IP strategies and do patenting firms effectively demonstrate stronger growth than their non-patenting counterparts. Present study considers IP strategies as potential firm grow…
Mutation Analysis of LMX1B Gene in Nail-Patella Syndrome Patients
1998
SummaryNail-patella syndrome (NPS), a pleiotropic disorder exhibiting autosomal dominant inheritance, has been studied for >100 years. Recent evidence shows that NPS is the result of mutations in the LIM-homeodomain gene LMX1B. To determine whether specific LMX1B mutations are associated with different aspects of the NPS phenotype, we screened a cohort of 41 NPS families for LMX1B mutations. A total of 25 mutations were identified in 37 families. The nature of the mutations supports the hypothesis that NPS is the result of haploinsufficiency for LMX1B. There was no evidence of correlation between aspects of the NPS phenotype and specific mutations.
Paternal mental health trajectory classes and early fathering experiences
2016
A father’s mental health is important for family well-being, but research is scarce on paternal symptoms during the transition to fatherhood. This study identified fathers’ latent mental health trajectory classes from the pre- to postnatal period and examined their associations with early fathering experiences. It further analysed, whether a family’s infertility history was associated with mental health trajectory classes and moderated their effects on fathering experiences. Finnish fathers ( N = 773) reported psychological distress (General Health Questionnaire; GHQ-36) and depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory; BDI-13) in pregnancy (T1), and at 2 months (T2) and 12 months (T3) p…
"Isässäni parasta on se, kun hän tekee hyvää ruokaa ja ostaa joskus uusia leluja minulle." : isä ja materia lasten kertomuksissa
2018
Isä on lapselle tärkeä. Hänen kanssaan potkitaan palloa, herkutellaan kahdestaan tai askarrellaan hamahelmillä. Lapsi näkee isänsä yhä useammin myös keittiössä tekemässä ruokaa. Tällaisia asioita lapset kertoivat isästään, mutta mitä nämä tarinat kertovat meille nykypäivän isyydestä? Materialla näyttää olevan monenlaisia tehtäviä lasten arjessa ja lapsen ja isän suhteessa. Näyttää myös siltä, että lasten käsitykset ja kokemukset miesvanhemmasta sekä tukevat että rikkovat perinteistä mieskuvaa ja perheen sukupuoliroolijakoja. nonPeerReviewed
The Role of Anticipated Guilt and its Neutralisation in Explaining Responsible Online Shopping
2023
Although responsible consumption has been the target of growing interest in academic research, the antecedents of responsible online shopping remain poorly understood. In this study, we address this gap in prior research by focusing on the role of anticipated guilt in explaining responsible online shopping. By using data from 479 Finnish consumers, we aim to answer two research questions: (1) how strong an antecedent of responsible online shopping intention is anticipated guilt in relation to other potential antecedents and (2) how efficiently can consumers regulate their resulting feelings of guilt by using different kinds of neutralisation techniques? We find anticipated guilt to be a str…
Intelektuālā (rūpnieciskā) īpašuma aizsardzība kā konkurētspēju veicinošs faktors uzņēmumiem Latvijā un Eiropā
2017
Intelektuālā īpašuma jēdziens kļūst ar vien svarīgāks mūsdienu sīvās konkurences pasaulē. Tāpēc ir ļoti svarīgi informēt un izglītot iedzīvotājus par tā sniegtajām priekšrocībām, proti, intelektuālā kapitāla pieaugumu, identitātes nostiprināšanu tirgū, labu reputāciju un izņēmuma tiesībām uz aizsargāto objektu, lai paaugstinātu uzņēmumu un valsts konkurētspēju. Diplomdarba tēma ir Intelektuālā (rūpnieciskā) īpašuma aizsardzība kā konkurētspēju veicinošs faktors uzņēmumiem Latvijā un Eiropā. Diplomdarba mērķis - izpētīt, cik lielu ietekmi uz konkurētspēju veido rūpnieciskā īpašuma aizsardzība, konkurētspējas indeksa attiecinājumu uz aizsargāto rūpnieciskā īpašuma objektu skaitu, salīdzināt u…
The state of art of biological processes in paternal care
2014
This review of the state of art aimed to present the most recent data on neuronal, neurochemical, hormonal and genetic bases of paternal care using MEDLINE and PsycInfo databases (1970-2013). An integrated model of biological substrates that assist men in the transition to fatherhood is presented. Guided by a genetic background, hypothalamic-midbrain-limbic-paralimbic-cortical circuits were found to be activated in fathers when infant stimuli are presented. A set of specifi c neuropeptides and steroid hormones are produced and seem to be related to brain activation, potentiating the paternal phenotype. Together, genetic, brain and hormonal processes suggest the existence of biological bases…
Santé et biens communs : un regard de juriste
2007
La santé constitue un domaine dans lequel les notions de bien commun ou de bien public mondial sont particulièrement pertinentes. Il faut cependant préciser de quels biens il est question. A titre d’exemple, le droit français comporte des notions susceptibles de qualifier le droit aux soins (comme droit inaliénable), ou le médicament, objet de propriété intellectuelle comme de propriété « traditionnelle ». Un droit international des biens de santé peut de la même manière être fondé sur un droit d’usage de chacun sur la molécule qui est la même dans le médicament générique et celui de marque. Une procédure d’accès équivalent aux produits, brevetés ou non, pourrait être mise en œuvre par prin…
Las claves interpretativas del libre desarrollo de la personalidad.
2014
La fórmula del libre desarrollo de la personalidad se encuentra habitualmente incorporada en los textos constitucionales y en las Declaraciones de derechos. Surge la necesidad de conjugar su reconocimiento jurídico con el del pleno desarrollo de la personalidad, comúnmente considerado como objetivo de la educación. Una interpretación sistemática obliga a considerar a ambas expresiones como sinónimas. El libre desarrollo de la personalidad representa la consagración jurídica del principio de autonomía individual. Como tal, impone el establecimiento de unas políticas públicas orientadas a la eliminación de los condicionamientos económicos y sociales y a la reducción en lo posible de los cond…
Las elecciones de 9 de marzo de 2008 en España
2008
Este artículo describe con detalle las elecciones generales de 2008 en España. Su interés no sólo está en la exhaustiva presentación de los datos, sino también en el punto de vista de la propia autora: se trata de análisis de la política española realizado desde Italia. La posición del observador facilita un relato más aséptico de los acontecimientos que dan cuenta de los comicios en los que, por segunda vez consecutiva, Zapatero fue el más votado. En el texto podemos comparar las estrategias electorales de los dos grandes partidos (PSOE y PP), sus diferencias programáticas y el contexto sociopolítico español, desgraciadamente marcado por la violencia terrorista.
