Refugee testimonies enacted : voice and solidarity in media art installations

2018

This article examines how two media art installations in which celebrity actors enact refugee storytelling create awareness of the complexities of representation and solidarity with refugees. The celebrity actor produces familiarity, or “audibility,” for contents of the stories. Yet at the same time, the familiarity of the actor alerts the visitor to the politics of listening. The artworks therefore produce the potential for ethical listening, which requires interrogation into the privileges of the listener. The artworks produce a kind of sociality different from that of typical celebrity advocacy. Instead of being at the center of attention, the actors’ presence draws critical attention to…

The used methods are the analysis of literature and material/visual sources. Pictures of 207 teachers- doll…

Modernizing the Police with Research, Development and Innovation Activities : The Transition of the Finnish Police Education into a Bachelor’s Degree

2017

The social context and the operational environment of the police has changed considerably around the world. Recently, that change has necessitated a restructuring in the Finnish police education. This reform is based on the belief that a higher level of education and a greater focus on research will lead to better professional skills and an increased ability to perform in the workplace.

Policies of Refugee Settlement and Integration in Europe: the Cases of Portugal and Finland

2019

Abstract Though geographically distant from each other, Portugal and Finland present an interesting comparison concerning the policies and devices of asylum. Both provide an informed and critical appraisal of the current international response to the refugee issue, especially considering the European Union. The Finnish situation evidences a long-standing integrated resettlement frame, associated with the inclusive and pluralistic character of Nordic immigration policies, in spite of the growing threat of regression under the emergent xenophobic pressure. Unlike Portugal, where a finely-tuned response system is still lacking in spite of the existence of an assumed political will and commitme…

The aim of this ethnographic and autoethnographic research was to explore what kind of a learning culture existed in an 8th grade English class in a Finnish basic education school in the 2011-2012 academic year.

A teaching experiment was implemented with the support of co-teaching during which teachers aimed to strengthen students' learning autonomy: to support their active learning and help them act as responsible learners. The research data included participant observation notes, interviews of a subject teacher and students, and different kinds of documents produced by teachers and students during the imple…

Expired Tidal Volume and Respiratory Rate During Postnatal Stabilization of Newborn Infants Born at Term via Cesarean Delivery

Objective To retrieve evolving respiratory measures in the first minutes after birth in normal neonates born at term using a respiratory function monitor. Study design We evaluated newborn babies delivered at term via cesarean after uncomplicated pregnancies. Immediately after birth, a respiratory function monitor with an adapted flowmeter and a face mask were applied at 2, 5, and 10 minutes after birth for 90 seconds in each period. We analyzed expired and inspired tidal volume, respiratory rate (RR), percentage of leakage, and number of analyzed breaths in each individual infant's recording using a respiratory research software. Results A total of 243 infants completed the study. The fina…

ESSAI DE RÉFLEXION SUR LA PLACE DE L'ÉTHIQUE DANS LES ARTICLES DE LA CDI SUR LA RESPONSABILITÉ DE L'ÉTAT

2022

International audience; De l'éthique dans les Articles de la CDI sur la responsabilité des États pour fait internationalement illicite ? La question peut surprendre. Pourtant, l'éthique, entendue comme un processus de questionnement relatif à ce qui est considéré, à un moment et dans une société donnée, comme juste et bon, a à tout le moins constitué une source d'inspiration-c'est-à-dire une source matérielle-de certains articles voire de certains chapitres du projet. Plus encore, l'éthique peut être considérée comme la matrice d'une notion fondamentale du droit international contemporain, que l'on retrouve dans les Articles de 2001 : le jus cogens. Cette présence de l'éthique dans la const…

Il Mezzogiorno alla ricerca di una strategia di sviluppo

2017

Il contributo esamina, anche la luce degli esiti del referendum sulla revisione costituzionale, i principali indicatori del grave disagio economico-sociale in cui versa il Sud e le misure adottate sul piano degli interventi finanziari e delle misure di perequazione in attuazione delle politiche di coesione economico-sociale nazionali ed europee. In particolare, viene analizzata la questione dell’inveramento del principio di addizionalitá dei fondi strutturali e del Fondo europeo per gli investimenti strategici (il c.d. “Piano Juncker”) rispetto al Masterplan per il Mezzogiorno ed ai “Patti per il Sud” ed alle misure di coesione adottate per la riduzione del divario economico-sociale e per l…
