Affective Estrangement and Ecological Destruction in TV Crime Series Fortitude

2020

Koistinen and Mäntymäki examine how graphic violence evokes affect in the context of ecological destruction in the UK-produced TV crime fiction series Fortitude (2015–17). They argue that the series mobilises generic exchange by incorporating speculative elements into a traditional crime narrative structure, thereby creating space for affective estrangement. They show how the amalgamation of violence, ecological destruction and affect serves as an entrance into socioecological critique with a strong cautionary element through the negotiation between the human and nonhuman and the ethics of violence. Theoretically, the chapter relies on Sara Ahmed’s view of affect as social processes produce…

Monikielinen maahanmuuttajataustainen oppija englanninopetuksessa : kokemuksia opettajanpöydän molemmin puolin

2012

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää monikielisten maahanmuuttajataustaisten oppijoiden kokemuksia englannin opiskelusta. Oppijoiden kokemuksia tarkasteltiin kielenopiskelun affektiivisten tekijöiden eli motivaation, asenteiden, kieliminän ja kielijännityksen osalta sekä siten, kuinka monikielisyys on läsnä englannin opiskelussa. Oppijoiden kokemuksia taustoitettiin opettajien näkökulmalla monikielisten oppijoiden englannin opetukseen. Tutkimuksella tavoiteltiin ymmärrystä monikielisten maahanmuuttajataustaisten oppijoiden englannin opiskelusta, jotta vieraan kielen opetusta voitaisiin kehittää kasvavalle maahanmuuttajatataustaisten oppijoiden joukolle. Tutkimus toteutettiin laadullisena…

The emergence of intangible capital : human, social, and intellectual capital in nineteenth century British, French, and German economic thought

2016

Since the late 1950s the concept of human capital, understood as the stock of knowledge, skills, and abilities that determine individual productivity, has become one of the central tools with which economists explain both individual success and economic growth. During the latter half of the 20th century complementing concepts such as social capital, meaning the value of social networks and norms of reciprocity, and intangible capital, meaning the investments in knowledge and innovation generation, have emerged. The term intellectual capital is sometimes used as a major concept to bind different forms of intangible capital. This study focuses on the conceptual equivalents of these ideas in 1…

Muscle-tendon morphomechanical properties of non-surgically treated Achilles tendon 1-year post-rupture

2022

Background\ud Achilles tendon rupture appears to alter stiffness and length of the tendon. These alterations may affect the function of tendon in force transmission and in energy storage and recovery. We studied the mechanical properties of the Achilles' tendon post-rupture and their association with function.\ud Methods\ud Twenty-four (20 males, 4 females) participants (mean age: 43 y, 176 cm, 81 kg) were recruited. Ultrasonography and dynamometry were used to assess the muscle-tendon unit morphological and mechanical properties of non-surgically treated patients 1-year post rupture.\ud Findings\ud Injured tendons were longer with difference of 1.8 cm (95%CI: 0.5–1.9 cm; P < 0.001), and th…

Moving on the trajectory : a qualitative study of new immigrants' acculturation in Finland

2015

With a steady growth of immigration in Finland, the current number of immigrants has reached nearly 6% of the total population. These immigrants have crossed cultural boundaries for a new home and better life in Finland, but often face the compound challenges of navigating a new culture while striving to function efficiently in an unfamiliar environment. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate new immigrants’ acculturation in Finland. Previous studies have been focused on either refugees or returnees, so this study aims to produce an inclusive investigation of acculturation of on both forced and voluntary immigrants, as well as returnees who have engaged in the official integration pl…

Schemata, Acculturation, and Cognition : Expatriates in Japan's Software Industry

2016

This multiple case based empirical study expands the knowledge around North American software and IT workers in Japan as well as the expatriate literature and discussion of cognitive schemata in cross cultural settings. The study includes eleven individuals, nine of them in software. Evidence of selection, rejection, and adjustment of cognitive schemata found in Japan's business world is presented. Changes in schemata drive cultural adjustment and acculturation. North American software and IT workers in Japan must maneuver through unfamiliar and often complex schemata to motivate, lead, manipulate, and communicate with coworkers and partners and thereby gain success. peerReviewed
