Valsts pārvaldē nodarbināto skaita samazinājuma izvērtējums: Latvijas gadījuma izpēte
2019
Bakalaura darba nosaukums ir Valsts pārvaldē nodarbināto skaita samazinājuma izvērtējums: Latvijas gadījuma izpēte. Pētījuma mērķis ir izstrādāt pētījumu par valsts pārvaldē nodarbināto skaitu samazināšanu, kas ietvertu situācijas raksturojumu kopš 1991. gada līdz mūsdienām, kā arī nākotnes scenārijus un izmantoto argumentāciju, kā arī izvērtēt veiktā samazinājuma atbilstību pārmaiņu vadības kritērijiem. Teorētisko daļu veido literatūra par Publisko pārvaldi, Jauno publisko pārvaldi, Pārmaiņu vadību. Pētījumā ir izmantotas 3 metodes: argumentu kartēšana, dokumentu analīze, un pārmaiņu vadības kritēriji. Pētījuma rezultātā var novērot to, ka vislielākais nodarbināto skaita samazinājums valst…
Uz sadarbību vērsta Latvijas valsts pārvaldes komunikācija tiešsaistes sociālā tīklā Facebook
2018
Maģistra darba mērķis ir noskaidrot kāda ir valsts pārvaldes komunikācija ar iedzīvotājiem sociālo tīklu platformas Facebook lapās. Lai sasniegtu darbā izvirzīto mērķi, veikta valsts pārvaldes komunikācijas, sociālo mediju un iedzīvotāju līdzdalības teoriju analīze. Darbā veikts pētījums, izmantojot kvantitatīvas un kvalitatīvas pētniecības metodes, kas, viena otru papildinot, sniedz plašāku ieskatu Facebook lapu saturā un mijiedarbībā ar lietotājiem. Darbā noskaidrots, ka gadījumu analīzē iekļautās Latvijas valsts pārvaldes iestāžu sociālo tīklu platformas Facebook lapas ir vērstas uz sadarbību, tomēr tām ir informatīvs raksturs. Šajās lapās pastāv tikai šķietamā iedzīvotāju līdzdalība, jo…
Museums as mirrors of society : a case study of Finnish museums
2017
This article discusses how Finland’s museums and their collections are both time- and culture-bound and, as such, reflect society’s evolving values as impacted by historical events. Through the lens of Jyväskylä University Museum’s history, the theory of ‘worker generations’ and museum professionalization are discussed. peerReviewed
Beware of the “poverty migrant”: media discourses on EU labour migration and the welfare state in Germany and the UK
2021
Abstract This article examines the role of the media in the EU freedom of movement debate through the lens of high-circulation German and UK newspapers during the first half of 2014. It explores how the media problematised migration from Eastern European member states and its influence on national host country labour markets and welfare systems. It also analyses how different media outlets positioned themselves in relation to relevant policies or policy proposals. The findings show that most articles in our sample present low-skill, low-wage working European Union (EU) migrant class referred to as “poverty migrants” as a problem to be addressed at the policy level in contrast with the econo…

Tensions and challenges concerning ethics on video research with young children : experiences from an international collaboration among seven countri…
2018
This article and the four videos linked to this article are a result of the earliest experiences in establishing an international research collaboration among seven countries in the Project Social and emotional experiences in transition through the early years. We draw attention to the complex issues surrounding the many processes, beliefs and attitudes about infants in research that permeated our processes of gaining ethical approval for the international study and which posed many challenges for our project. Through a process of reflective analysis, we have identified a range of ethical tensions and issues which the different countries involved in this international study faced in gaining…
Sukupolvisuhteet, hallinta ja subjektifikaatio : etnografinen tutkimus lasten ja aikuisten suhteista vuorohoitopäiväkodissa
2018
This ethnographic study examines intergenerational relations in a day-care center with extended opening hours. The theoretical starting points of the study draw on Michel Foucault’s concept of governmentality. Therefore, this dissertation aims to generate insights into intergenerational relations in a day care with extended hours from the viewpoint of governance. The data for the study were collected from one Finnish day-care class through observation and half- structured interviews. The day-care class was part of a municipal day-care center with extended hours; the center was open from 5.30 am to 10.30 pm. Children would be present depending on the working hours of their parents. There- fo…
Aposematism in the burying beetle? Dual function of anal fluid in parental care and chemical defence
2017
Burying beetles (Nicrophorus vespilloides) bear distinctive and variable orange-black patterning on their elytra and produce an anal exudate from their abdomen when threatened. During breeding, the anal exudates contribute to the antimicrobial defence of the breeding resource. We investigated whether the anal exudates also provide a responsive chemical defence, which is advertised to potential avian predators by the beetle’s orange and black elytral markings. We found that that the orange-black elytral markings of the burying beetle are highly conspicuous for avian predators against range of backgrounds, by using computer simulations. Using bioassays with wood ants, we also showed that the …
Colour alone matters : no predator generalization among morphs of an aposematic moth
2018
Local warning colour polymorphism, frequently observed in aposematic organisms, is evolutionarily puzzling. This is because variation in aposematic signals is expected to be selected against due to predators' difficulties associating several signals with a given unprofitable prey. One possible explanation for the existence of such variation is predator generalization, which occurs when predators learn to avoid one form and consequently avoid other sufficiently similar forms, relaxing selection for monomorphic signals. We tested this hypothesis by exposing the three different colour morphs of the aposematic wood tiger moth, Arctia plantaginis, existing in Finland to local wild-caught predato…
Multimodal Aposematic Defenses Through the Predation Sequence
2021
Aposematic organisms warn predators of their unprofitability using a combination of defenses, including visual warning signals, startling sounds, noxious odors, or aversive tastes. Using multiple lines of defense can help prey avoid predators by stimulating multiple senses and/or by acting at different stages of predation. We tested the efficacy of three lines of defense (color, smell, taste) during the predation sequence of aposematic wood tiger moths (Arctia plantaginis) using blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) predators. Moths with two hindwing phenotypes (genotypes: WW/Wy = white, yy = yellow) were manipulated to have defense fluid with aversive smell (methoxypyrazines), body tissues with a…
