Scales of participation and multi-scalar citizenship in EU participatory governance
2020
The EU still has a democratic deficit and its legitimacy is strongly questioned. This reveals the importance of citizenship and participation in the context of the challenges the EU faces today. The article contributes to the current discussions on the shifting frameworks of participation and citizenship through empirical research into the EU’s participatory governance. It asks how participation is framed in terms of scale and how these scalar framings are used to formulate citizenship in selected projects funded by the EU programmes on citizenship and culture. This microlevel analysis yields new insights into the politics of scale in the EU’s multilevel participatory governance. Frame anal…
L'abolitionnisme de Victor Schoelcher, un humanisme mâtiné de colonialisme et de moralisme
1999
Although this title might be somewhat provocative, there is no intent to be anti-schoelcherist. The aim is not to diminish Victor Schoelcher's considerable achievements, but to fight against the unanimous preconceptions that have transformed this man into a myth. By studying the legal and political consequences of his proposals and his engagements, we have underlined not only the extent and complexity of his work for the Republic - that has been little known up to now, though Schoelcher ought to be considered to be one of the fathers of the Republic - but his contradictions too. Schoelcher was so sure of the virtues of the republican values of the mother country, that his fight, albeit huma…

‘Human rights and democracy are not self-evident’ : Finnish student teachers’ perceptions on democracy and human rights education
2021
This article discusses democracy and human rights education (DHRE) in Finnish teacher education, drawing on existing literature, curricula and a survey of student teachers’ perceptions. Earlier studies suggested that DHRE in Finnish teacher education is unsystematic, implicit, and dependent on the teacher’s individual interests. These studies highlight a sense of national exceptionalism, where DHRE is assumed to be self-evident. In 2019, we conducted a survey of student teachers (n=300) in one university. Data content analysis reveals that student teachers now see DHRE as relevant and timely, and by no means self-evident. Student teachers believe that DHRE needs to be explicit and part of t…
Stoïlow’s theorem revisited
2020
Stoilow's theorem from 1928 states that a continuous, open, and light map between surfaces is a discrete map with a discrete branch set. This result implies that such maps between orientable surfaces are locally modeled by power maps z -> z(k) and admit a holomorphic factorization. The purpose of this expository article is to give a proof of this classical theorem having readers in mind that are interested in continuous, open and discrete maps. (C) 2019 Elsevier GmbH.

Educare alla democrazia cosmica per un mondo di pace. La lezione di Ernesto Balducci
2022
Nel secondo Novecento Ernesto Balducci (1922-1992) elaborava l’idea di una democrazia planetaria nell’orizzonte del suo progetto pedagogico di un nuovo umanesimo. Si trattava di rispondere alla crisi che già segnava le democrazie occidentali, dove la violenza e lo scontro con “l’altro” prevalevano sul dialogo e sul bene comune. L’educazione a una democrazia sostanziale non può realizzarsi – è questa la lezione attuale di Balducci – se non come educazione alla pace e al dialogo interreligioso, entrambi orientati verso un “ecumenismo creaturale” che non fa distinzione tra le persone ma trova sempre punti d’intesa che conducono oltre le ideologie, le credenze, le culture. Un mondo di pace può …
La intervención posconflicto en el Derecho internacional: una auditoría de género
2013
Que el conflicto armado tiene un impacto diferenciado de género es harto conocido. Demostrar además que la intervención posconflicto también lo tiene, constituye el objetivo de esta tesis. Por ello, partiendo de la potencialidad del gender mainstreaming o perspectiva transversal de género como herramienta fundamental para la gestión internacional de conflictos y, en línea con los postulados de la resolución 1325 del Consejo de Seguridad de Naciones Unidas sobre mujeres, paz y seguridad de 31 de octubre del año 2000, esta investigación adopta la forma de auditoría de género para trazar, mediante un análisis contextual (primera parte), jurídico (segunda parte) y clínico (tercera parte), la ev…
Eklezjalne cele „Pierwszej mowy o pokoju” Grzegorza z Nazjanzu
2020
Spośród trzech mów na temat pokoju pierwszą z nich Grzegorz z Nazjanzu wygłosił najprawdopodobniej w lutym 364 roku. Jej wątkiem wiodącym było przywrócenie pokoju i zgody u zwaśnionych stron we wspólnocie kościelnej Nazjanzu. Powodem sporu okazało się opaczne złożenie podpisu przez Grzegorza Starszego pod wyznaniem wiary, które było w tej miejscowości rozpowszechniane przez ariańskiego przedstawiciela. Dla mówcy podłożem do przywrócenia pokoju były wspólne idee łączące zwaśnione strony, czyli wiara w jednego Boga, zgodne interpretacje zagadnień trynitarnych i pragnienie jedności. Pokój, o który zabiegał Grzegorz, okazał się wartością jednoczącą wszystkich tworzących społeczność kościelną w …
Squeezing of Quantum Noise of Motion in a Micromechanical Resonator
2015
A pair of conjugate observables, such as the quadrature amplitudes of harmonic motion, have fundamental fluctuations which are bound by the Heisenberg uncertainty relation. However, in a squeezed quantum state, fluctuations of a quantity can be reduced below the standard quantum limit, at the cost of increased fluctuations of the conjugate variable. Here we prepare a nearly macroscopic moving body, realized as a micromechanical resonator, in a squeezed quantum state. We obtain squeezing of one quadrature amplitude $1.1 \pm 0.4$ dB below the standard quantum limit, thus achieving a long-standing goal of obtaining motional squeezing in a macroscopic object.
Motives for physical activity among active and inactive persons in their mid-30s
2013
The purpose of this study was to examine the motives for leisure-time physical activity among active and inactive men and women in their mid-30s. We used both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs. Altogether, 2308 participants (mean age 33.9 years, 53.4% women) were identified from the population-based FinnTwin16 Cohort. Physically active and inactive individuals were identified on the basis of their leisure-time MET h/day. We evaluated participants' physical activity motivation with a modified version of the Recreational Exercise Motivation Measure. Comparisons between active and inactive individuals were analysed using the Wald test for equality of means, and effect sizes were calcula…
