Kuka oli Lucilius? : tutkielma Senecan moraalikirjeiden vastaanottajasta

2007

Roomalaisen valtiomiehen ja filosofin, Lucius Annaeus Senecan (n. 5 eaa.-65 jaa.), ystävälleen Luciliukselle omistama kirjekokoelma Epistulae morales on yksi latinankielisen kirjallisuuden merkittävimpiä teoksia. Seneca vastaavasti on hopealatinan ajan kirjallisuuden merkittävimpiä auktoreita. Kokoelman kirjeet on kirjoitettu Senecan viimeisinä elinvuosina ja niiden asiasisältö on pääasiassa filosofinen. Tutkielmassani selvitän kirjekokoelmasta löytyviä esimerkkejä avaamalla kysymystä siitä, oliko Senecan ja Luciliuksen välinen kirjeenvaihto reaalista vai oliko kirjemuoto vain Senecan käyttämä tyylikeino. Kokoelmasta on löydettävissä kumpaakin argumenttia tukevia näytteitä. Senecan kirjeide…

Fentanyl and sufentanyl in fast track anaesthesia for major intra-abdominal surgery

2012

Background and aim: Major intra-abdominal surgery is estimated to have high costs annually in Italy. In an attempt to decrease surgery costs and improve outcome for patients, fast-track programs have become popular. This is especially due both to the improvement of surgery and to the new anesthetic agents (regarding pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic) resulting in better care for patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate two different anesthetic protocols in patients undergoing scheduled anesthesia including the combination of two different opioids (fentanyl or sufentanil) with the same hypnotic and muscle relaxant. Material and Methods: 40 patients, with an American Society of Anest…

INTRABDOMINAL DESMOPLASTIC SMALL ROUND CELL TUMOR: CASE REPORT WITH LITERATURE REVIEW

2015

Intra-abdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumor arerrare aggressive neoplasm, with a very poor prognosis, observed in young adults with a male predominance, Their etiology is unknown and the diagnosis is based on histopathology, immunohistochemistry and cytogenetics. Histological analysis shows typically clusters of round cells separated by abundant desmoplastic stroma. These tumors exhibit a multi-marker immunohistochemistry profile expressing the three embryonic lineages: epithelial, neural and mesenchymal. They are positive for desmin and cytokeratin and are characterized by a specific recurring translocation t (11:22) (q12-p13), which involves EWSR! WT1 gene. They are usually fatal …

Raman spectroscopy study of β-irradiated silica glass

2003

International audience; Natural and synthetic silica glass samples with different OH content have been submitted to β-irradiation at different doses from 106 to 5 × 109 Gy in a Van de Graaff accelerator. Structural changes under irradiation have been analyzed by Raman spectroscopy. The main findings are: (i) a decrease of the Si–O–Si angular dispersion and the average Si–O–Si angle as a function of dose and (ii) an increase of number of three-membered SiO4 ring concentration during irradiation. These results show therefore that purely electronic excitation from β-irradiation induces in a-SiO2 small but significant structural changes of the SiO4 membered ring statistics (size and dispersion)…

The Problem of the First Belief: Group Agents and Responsibility

2020

Abstract Attributing moral responsibility to an agent requires that the agent is a capable member of a moral community. Capable members of a moral community are often thought of as moral reasoners (or moral persons) and, thus, to attribute moral responsibility to collective agents would require showing that they are capable of moral reasoning. It is argued here that those theories that understand collective reasoning and collective moral agency in terms of collective decision-making and commitment – as is arguably the case with Christian List and Philip Pettit’s theory of group agency – face the so-called “problem of the first belief” that threatens to make moral reasoning impossible for gr…

Health and social care educators' ethical competence.

2020

Background and purpose Educators’ ethical competence is of crucial importance for developing students’ ethical thinking. Previous studies describe educators’ ethical codes and principles. This article aims to widen the understanding of health- and social care educators’ ethical competence in relation to core values and ethos. Theoretical background and key concepts The study is based on the didactics of caring science and theoretically links the concepts ethos and competence. Methods Data material was collected from nine educational units for healthcare and social service in Finland. In total 16 semi-structured focus group interviews with 48 participants were conducted. The interviews were …

Measuring consumer brand engagement on social media with annoyance as a moderator

2017

Consumer brand engagement (CBE) is indisputably an emerging topic in the marketing literature, yet the amount of research on its antecedents and outcomes is limited. Besides academics, it has also gained traction among practitioners who have started to experiment with new methods to engage consumers with their brands. Most of these marketing efforts have started to take place in social media, as the number of consumers who can be reached with services such as Facebook, Instagram or YouTube is increasing exponentially. While the corporate investments in social media are increasing, many marketing practitioners have trouble reaching the positive outcomes of consumer brand engagement suggested…

Economic moralities in self-organised alternative economies : the Finnish cases of ridesharing and timebanking

2020

PurposeThis paper explores economic moralities in self-organised alternative economies and argues that the diverse economies approach is particularly useful in elaborating the self-understandings of such economic communities. The analysis focuses on two types of alternative economies in Finland: ridesharing and timebanking.Design/methodology/approachThrough qualitative data, the paper looks into moments of negotiation where economic moralities of self-organised alternative economies are explicitly debated. The main research data consists of social media conversations, supplemented by a member survey for the participants of the studied timebank. The data are analysed through theory-guided qu…

Managers’ Moral Struggle : A Case Study on Ethical Dilemmas and Ethical Decision-making in the Context of Immigration

2019

This qualitative study explores the types of ethical dilemmas that Finnish managers working in reception centres for asylum seekers have encountered and whether the moral intensity of the ethical issues was observable in the ethical decision-making. It concludes that the majority of the managers interviewed encountered ethical dilemmas relating to the termination of reception services. The ethical dilemmas were stratified into seven groups: ambiguous or complete absence of relevant instructions, lack of support, conflicting values, withholding information, pressure, discretionary stress, and unjust decisions on asylum applications. In addition, various dimensions of moral intensity were obs…
