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…
Fragrant bioethanol: A valued bioproduct from orange juice and essential oil extraction
2018
Abstract We identify the composition of a less known, yet important bioproduct obtained in relatively high amount during orange fruit processing for juice and essential oil extraction comprised of bioethanol dissolving valued terpenes. Green cosmetic, perfume and biosolvent applications are anticipated.
Innovation Policies for Regional Structural Change: Combining Actor-Based and System-Based Strategies
2018
This chapter analyses opportunities and challenges for regional innovation policies designed to promote new path development in different types of regional innovation systems (RISs). RISs differ enormously in their capacity to develop new growth paths due to pronounced differences in endogenous potentials and varying abilities to attract and absorb exogenous sources for new path development. We distinguish between different types of regional industrial path development, which reflect various degrees of radicalness of regional structural change. The chapter offers a conceptual analysis of conditions and influences that enable and constrain new path development in different types of RISs and …

From omniscient narrator to involved participants: Places and spaces “activated” in the EHEC O104:H4 crisis 2011
2020
Crisis management is often conceived from the position of an omniscient narrator, albeit the general consensus that crises are subjectively interpreted and experienced. The paper makes an analytical attempt to de-homogenize the notion of crisis. We argue that the perception of crises differs and present a spatial perspective on crisis to foreground the positionality of different actor groups. By referring to the EHEC outbreak 2011 in Germany, we explore two spatial configurations that seem to be of particular relevance: territories embedded in a nested hierarchy and topologies of interconnected places. State authorities think and act strongly in terms of territorial borders and along sector…
Combined Innovation Policy: Linking Scientific and Practical Knowledge in Innovation Systems
2012
New research indicates that firms combining the science-based STI (Science, Technology, Innovation) and the experience-based DUI (Doing, Using, Interacting) modes of innovation are more efficient when it comes to improving innovation capacity and competitiveness. With regard to innovation policy, the STI mode calls for a supply driven policy, typically aimed to commercialise research results. The DUI mode suggests a demand driven policy approach, such as supporting the development of new products or services to specific markets. This paper analyses how the two types of innovation policy and the two innovation modes can be combined in regional innovation systems. The analysis builds on studi…
Public policy in families and successions regulations : the case of ?talaq?
2021
According to EU Regulations on transnational families and successions, a foreign rule remains without effect if it is deemed contrary to the so-called public policy (ordre public) of the forum?s legal system. As a consequence, judges have to evaluate whether the application of foreign law is incompatible with fundamental principles of the domestic law, especially whether it would constitute a violation against human rights. An outstanding controversial issue is today represented by Islamic repudiation (talaq): two contrasting Italian judicial decisions of August 2020 may illustrate how difficult it could be to determine what public policy is.
Public policy as grounds for refusal of recognition and enforcement under regulation 2016/1103 and regulation 2016/1104
2021
El orden público es una de las instituciones más conocidas e importantes del Derecho internacional privado. Puede encontrarse como motivo de denegación de reconocimiento y ejecución en varios Reglamentos europeos, entre otros en el Reglamento (UE) 2016/1103 del Consejo, de 24 de junio de 2016, por el que se establece una cooperación reforzada en el ámbito de la competencia, la ley aplicable y el reconocimiento y la ejecución de las resoluciones en materia de regímenes económico matrimoniales, y en el Reglamento (UE) 2016/1104 del Consejo, de 24 de junio de 2016, por el que se establece una cooperación reforzada en el ámbito de la competencia, la ley aplicable y el reconocimiento y la ejecuc…
Law and morals in the application of the public policy exception under the twin regulations 1103 and 1104 of 2016
2021
This paper discusses the interactions between fundamental principles of domestic legal systems and non-legal standards in the application of the public policy Generalklausel within the context of the twin Regulations 1103 and 1104 of 2016. In particular, this paper argues that public policy is composed of legal principles only and that there is no space for extra legal standards when the circulation of foreign deeds, decisions and laws is in discussion. This consideration has two consequences. Firstly, the role of good morals within contemporary private international law is extremely reduc
Libertad de conciencia, integración e inmigración. Lecciones desde el Reino Unido
2020
El presente estudio analiza las principales políticas públicas y la legislación británica en el contexto migratorio, desde la perspectiva del derecho de la población inmigrante a ejercer su derecho a la libertad de pensamiento, conciencia y religión. El interés de conocer el modelo británico reside en que éste se ha caracterizado tradicionalmente por la recepción de potentes flujos migratorios, procedentes principalmente de Europa y de sus antiguas colonias, así como por su dilatada experiencia gestionando una de las diversidades culturales y religiosas más grandes de Europa. Este trabajo es resultado del proyecto PRX19/00641 del Subprograma de Movilidad dentro del Programa Estatal de Promo…
