Yrittäjän vapaus hoivapalveluissa : tutkimus hoivayrittäjien praktisesta vapaudesta
2018
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli analysoida yrittäjän vapautta hoivan tuottamisessa yhteiskuntafilosofisesta näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksen käsitteellinen konteksti rakentui hoivasta yrittäjyyden toimialana, jossa hoivaa jäsennettiin palveluna ja markkinaistuneena tuotteena. Tutkimuksen teoreettiset käsitteet muodostuivat Hegelin oikeusfilosofiaan perustuvista praktisen vapauden ulottuvuuksista, joita täydennettiin Berlinin negatiivisen ja positiivisen vapauden käsitteillä. Tutkimusaineisto muodostui viidentoista yrittäjän haastatteluista (N=15). Kahdeksan (8) yrittäjää toimi itsenäisinä yrittäjinä ja seitsemän (7) ketjuyrittäjinä kolmessa suomalaisessa franchisingketjussa. Tutkimuksen kohteena oleva…
Groove as a multidimensional participatory experience
2023
Groove is a popular and widely used concept in the field of music. Yet, its precise definition remains elusive. Upon closer inspection, groove appears to be used as an umbrella term with various connotations depending on the musical era, the musical context, and the individual using the term. Our aim in this article was to explore different definitions and connotations of the term groove so as to reach a more detailed understanding of it. Consequently, in an online survey, 88 participants provided free-text descriptions of the term groove. A thematic analysis revealed that groove is a multifaceted phenomenon, and participants’ descriptions fit into two main categories: music- and experience…
La disciplina statale dell'immigrazione tra profili di criticità costituzionale e diritto vivente alla luce di alcune recenti vicende normative
2021
La disciplina statale dell'immigrazione non è riuscita a risolvere le aporie connesse allo squilibrio tra diritti umani ed esercizio del potere pubblico statuale: ciò rende necessaria un'interpretaziine adeguatrice che è operata dalla giurisdizioni coinvolte. Il diritto di matrice giurisprudenziale si sovrappone così al diritto positivo, sostituendosi ad esso con modalità che interrogano sui limiti del diritto vivente anche con riguardo al ruolo della Corte costituzionale. L'ultimo intervento normativo in materia, il D.L. n. 130/2020, non ha eliminato tutte le incertezze ed ambiguità della disciplina preesistente, essendosi limitato il legislatore a recepire, con alcune correzioni minimali,…
Immunology of human rickettsial diseases.
2008
Among human rickettsial diseases caused by micro-organisms of the genus Rickettsia (Order Rickettsiales; Family Rickettsiaceae), transmitted to human hosts through arthropod vectors, Mediterranean Spotted Fever, or Boutonneuse Fever, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever are considered to be important infectious diseases due to continued prevalence in the developed world, and potentially fatal outcome in severe cases. Proliferation of rickettsiae, at the site of the tick bite, results in focal epidermal and dermal necrosis (tache noire). Rickettsiae then spread via lymphatic vessels to the regional lymph nodes, and, via the bloodstream, to skin, brain, lungs, heart, liver, spleen and kidneys. Th…
Brain responses of dysphoric and control participants during a self‐esteem implicit association test
2021
Previous studies have reported lowered implicit self‐esteem at the behavioral level among depressed individuals. However, brain responses related to the lowered implicit self‐esteem have not been investigated in people with depression. Here, event‐related potentials were measured in 28 dysphoric participants (individuals with elevated amounts of depressive symptoms) and 30 control participants during performance of an implicit association task (IAT) suggested to reflect implicit self‐esteem. Despite equivalent behavioral performance, differences in brain responses were observed between the dysphoric and the control groups in late positive component (LPC) within 400–1,000 ms poststimulus lat…
Check in, check out! : käyttäytymisen tehostettua tukea lähikoulussa
2018
Finnish schools struggle with problem behaviour and need new interventions which are effective, acceptable, and can be implemented with high fidelity in general classrooms. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of Check in check out (CICO) support in decreasing the disruptive behaviours of general education primary school pupils. CICO can be regarded as an intensified level of support in Finnish schools, and its key features are brief morning and afternoon meetings with a CICO coach, the use of a Daily Report Card (DRC), regular positive feedback during the day by the classroom teacher, and parental involvement. The specific aims of the study were threefold: first, to pilot the i…
Beyond life-skills: talented athletes, existential learning and (Un)learning the life of an athlete
2022
Following developments in educational discourse more broadly, learning discourses in youth sport have been shaped by outcome-based and instrumental goals of developing useful life-skills for ‘successful’ lives. There is, however, a need to expand such traditional understandings of sport-based youth development, which we undertook by exploring existential learning in sport through encountering discontinuity. We conducted in-depth qualitative research with 16 Finnish athletes (seven men/nine women, aged 19–20), five of whom had recently disengaged from the athlete development pathway. In the interviews, we used creative non-fiction vignettes to invite reflections on learning experiences in sp…
Positive corporate communication : the role of positive equity storytelling in non-regulated investor relations
2016
Tutkielmassa perehdyttiin positiivisen yritysviestinnän ja sijoittajatarinankerronnan rooliin vapaaehtoisessa, säätelystä vapaassa sijoittajaviestinnässä ja pohdittiin, löytyykö sijoittajille kohdistetuista vapaaehtoisista esityksistä positiivisen vuorovaikutuksen piirteitä kuten ihmisistä, osaamisesta, kulttuurista, arvoista ja monimuotoisuudesta viestimistä. Tutkielma pyrki selvittämään, missä muodoissa ja missä määrin positiivisuutta valitussa materiaalissa ilmenee. Empiirisessä osiossa analysoitiin OMX Nordic 40 -indeksiin kuuluvien pohjoismaisten yritysten viimeisimpien pääomamarkkinapäivien ja vastaavien sijoittajatapahtumien power point -esityksiä. Hyödyntäen aineistolähtöistä sisäll…
Aktywność celowa a dobrostan psychiczny
2020
The central problem dealt with in this monograph is the question connected with the possibilities of raising people’s psychological well-being. In recent years there has been a lot of research conducted which proved that taking up an intentional activity brings positive effects for the psychological well-being. Simultaneously, a good number of researchers adhere to the thesis advancing a steady potential level of happiness and the lack of possibility of its lasting change. The model of dependence between an intentional activity and well-being is founded on the conception of happiness deriving from the frontiers of eudaimonic and hedonic schools, whereas the theory consolidating the base of …
PSICOLOGÍA POSITIVA: ANÁLISIS DESDE SU SURGIMIENTO
2015
More than a decade since the foundation of Positive Psychology by Martin Seligman, this paper aims to analyze this branch of psychology starting at its very beginning, considering its precedents, its topics of interest, its production, its diffusion, its implications for clinical practice, and future research lines. Furthermore, this paper introduces a discussion regarding the future of Positive Psychology: either its dissolution, or its integration with the other fields of psychology.
