Crossfit lajianalyysi ja harjoittelu
2014
Lajin ominaispiirteet. CrossFitissä pyritään kehittämään urheilijan suorituskykyä mahdollisimman monipuolisesti välttäen erikoistumista. Urheilijan tavoitteena on kehittyä kaikissa seuraavista osa-alueista: 1) hengitys- ja verenkiertoelimistön kestävyys, 2) kestovoima, 3) maksimivoima, 4) nopeusvoima, 5) nopeus, 6) liikkuvuus, 7) koordinaatio, 8) ketteryys, 9) tasapaino ja 10) tarkkuus. Kilpailusuoritukset sisältävät monipuolisesti elementtejä eri lajeista, kuten juoksusta, uinnista soudusta, voimistelusta ja painonnostosta. Oleellinen osa CrossFit-harjoittelua ovat erilaiset WOD-harjoituskokonaisuudet (Workout of the Day), joita käytetään myös niin kutsuttuina Benchmark-harjoitteina. Bench…
Cēzija dimēra spektroskopiskie pētījumi ar lāzera inducētās fluorescences metodi
2017
Šajā bakalaura darbā tika pētīts Cs2 molekulas 〖A^1∑〗_u^+ un 〖b 〗^3 Π_u stāvokļu komplekss ar lāzera inducētās fluorescences un Furjē transformāciju spektroskopijas metodēm. Veicot darba uzdevumus tika apgūta lāzera inducētās fluorescences (LIF) pieeja sārmu divatomu molekulu pētīšanai, izmantojot spektrometru (Bruker IFS-125HR) un titāna-safīra lāzera sistēmu (MBR 110, Coherent). Eksperimentālajām iekārtām tika veikti sagatavošanas un uzstādīšanas darbi, lai varētu detektēt LIF spektrus ar Furjē spektrometru. Iegūtie mērījumi par Cs2 molekulas 〖A^1∑〗_u^+ ~ 〖b 〗^3 Π_u kompleksu tika izanalizēti izmantojot darbā aprakstītās spektru apstrādāšanas metodes. Darba rezultātā iegūti ~2000 rotācija…
Faith-based development of World Vision Tanzania
2018
This article examines how faith is intertwined in conceptions of development in the work of World Vision Tanzania, a faith-based organisation focusing on child welfare. Issues that are explored include the question how an apparently common faith setting constitutes and provides a source of social meanings and values for the assessment of human development as well as secular development concepts such as human agency and empowerment. The analysis shows how World Vision staff assign different values to Christian and non-Christian development when assessing the potential and achievements of the beneficiaries in terms of secular concepts. It is argued that a faith-based worldview in this context…
Reframing belonging : affective localism and the early fiction of Reino Rinne
2017
ABSTRACTThe early fiction of a novelist and journalist born in the north of Finland, Reino Rinne (1913–2002), is illustrative of the post-war interest in a redefinition of cultural belonging. The aim of this article is to offer a reading of Rinne’s works that throws light on the way they exemplify a post-war articulation of affective localism. What is especially characteristic of the affective localism produced in Rinne’s early fiction is the deployment of certain narrative elements, realism as an aesthetic regime, tropes of spatial belonging and historical myths that are endowed with affective charge. A comparison between Rinne's first novel Tunturit hymyilevat. Kuvaus Lapista 1900-luvun a…
‘To Make a People Out of a Mere Population’: Sovereignty and Governmentality in Hegemonic Russian Cultural Policy
2022
Abstract The paper claims that contemporary Russian cultural policy has been determined by political transformations associated with the political project to establish sovereignty that has organized Putin’s regime since 2012. The idea behind it is traced to Putin’s 2006 intention ‘to make a people out of a mere population’. To understand that intention, and to explain the contribution of culture and cultural policy to its concretization, the paper draws on Foucault’s account of sovereignty and governmentality, and the development of the Gramscian notion of hegemony. The paper argues that Putin’s regime uses governmentality in its hegemonic project to establish sovereignty. To describe that …
‘Something’s Not Right in Silverhöjd’: Nordic Supernatural and Environmental and Species Justice in Jordskott
2022
In the Swedish/Finnish/British/Norwegian television series Jordskott (2015–17) child victims’ mysterious disappearances signal that ‘something’s not right’ in Silverhöjd, a Swedish town. Three detectives uncover a conflict between the locals who depend on a local industry and preternatural human-like but non-human forest creatures familiar from Nordic tradition and fairylore. Both humans and semi/non-humans are ambivalent, but what sets the latter apart is their implication in caring for nature, protecting it, and punishing those who harm it. We analyse this series’ instantiation of a folkloristic popular green criminology, based in the idea that popular discourses’ representations of crime…
Rhetoric of academic applications : Perspectives from Quentin Skinner’s Forensic Shakespeare
2019
The tools of classical and Renaissance rhetoric that Quentin Skinner uses in his Forensic Shakespeare (2014) are here applied to a contemporary context. Skinner’s discussion might have a fairly direct value for a genre of writing that most academics today must master, namely the rhetoric of applications. They have been seldom discussed from a rhetorical perspective, although knowledge of rhetoric is highly valuable for applicants, evaluators and those deciding between applications. Skinner’s book contains both advices for applicants and discussions on both the criteria of application and the possibilities of their revisions in case of innovative applications. peerReviewed
The minor as major: Outsiderness and social class in Saara Turunen’s prose
2021
Saara Turunen’s Sivuhenkilö is a work of autofiction, which tells the story of a year in its unnamed protagonist’s life. Despite her success as an author, the protagonist feels like a minor character in her own life: an outsider both because of her gender and her profession as a writer. In this article, I offer a critical reading of Turunen’s prose by asking what political implications are attached to her handling of outsiderness. I approach outsiderness not merely as a theme, but also as a genre-specific feature peculiar to the tradition of feminist rewriting. Based on my reading of Sivuhenkilö, I argue that regardless of its feminist potential, framing oneself as an outsider can function …
Cosmopolitan internationalism: UNESCO’s ideological ambiguity and the difference/diversity problematic
2022
This article addresses the ways in which UNESCO’s ideological engagements are negotiated in the difference/diversity discourse as they are transferred from the international standard-setting level to the national and local contexts. It proposes the discursive construction of cosmopolitan internationalism as a framework for analysing the intersections of difference, located in the practicalities of internationalism, and diversity, tied to the ideals of cosmopolitanism, as they are manifested at the level of both the implementation of UNESCO’s Diversity Convention and urban policy making in the city of Sydney. The analysis suggests that ruptures challenging the homogenising diversity discours…
