Kansan sankarit : hävittäjälentäjien sankarimyytti ensimmäisessä maailmansodassa ja sen jälkeen

2015

Sotilaslentokone sai tulikasteensa ensimmäisessä maailmansodassa. Lentokoneilla taivaalla sotineet miehet nousivat sodan aikana kansan sankareiksi. Tutkin ensimmäisen maailmansodan hävittäjälentäjien sankarimyyttiä Englannissa ja Saksassa sodan aikana ja sen jälkeen. Tutkin aihetta analysoimalla englantilaisen The Manchester Guardian -lehden ja saksalaisen Freiburger Zeitung -lehden kirjoituksia hävittäjälentäjistä. Tutkin lehdistä vuosia 1915–1924. Analysoin lisäksi kuuden kuuluisan hävittäjälentäjän omaelämäkertoja. Päähuomioni kiinnittyy kysymyksiin: miksi ja miten hävittäjälentäjille luotiin sankaristatusta; miten sankaruus muuttui sodan jälkeen; miten lentäjät kokivat sankaristatuksens…

Argument graph as a tool for promoting collaborative online reading

2013

This study explored how the construction of an argument graph promotes students' collaborative online reading compared to note-taking. Upper secondary school students (n = 76) worked in pairs. The pairs were asked to search for and read source material on the Web for a joint essay and either construct an argument graph or take notes during online reading. The data consist of transcription protocols of student pairs' discussions and joint essays. The study indicated that argument graphs may be useful tools when teachers want students to pay attention to the argumentative content of online sources and to consider relations between arguments. Additionally, with argument graphs, teachers can su…

Behind screens : challenges and opportunities of participatory online peace education in Finland

2022

This article discusses the challenges and opportunities of participatory online teaching and learning in higher education. It analyses an online peace education course taught during the Covid-19 pandemic in three Finnish universities between 2020–2021. The course explored fundamental mediation skills and practices of positive peace through participatory methods and applied drama. We show how the online setting affected students and teachers, by focusing on the challenges and opportunities for participatory pedagogy in an online environment. The course feedback from students (N = 23) was studied by content analysis and conjoined with the ethnographic observations of the authors. Our findings…

Spatial spillovers in France: a study on individual count data at the city level

2007

Our study aims to measure the effects of spatial R&D spillovers on firms' patent production at the city level. We use an original method to estimate the spatial dimension of spillovers using count data. The method, based on a generalized cross entropy approach, allows us to test spatial auto-correlation. The main result is that when there are local spillovers, their impact on knowledge production is different according to the geographical area and the sector.

A conceptual discussion of embodiment in special music education : Dalcroze Eurhythmics as a case

2017

Students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) have difficulties in learning, perception and communication that often pose challenges for participation in traditionally organised music lessons with instruments. Embodied approaches to music education concentrate on utilising body movements to create and enhance learning. As embodied musical activities are drawn from the personal experiences of the students, it is possible to meet the diverse needs of learners efficiently. In this article, we provide introductory remarks on the conceptual content and sphere of embodiment in the context of special music education. We use Dalcroze Eurhythmics as an example, as it is deeply grounded in embodied m…

The effects of antimicrobial sprays and mouthrinses on supragingival plaque regrowth: a comparative study.

2006

BACKGROUND: Due to the side effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) mouthrinsing, a spray has been proposed as an alternative method of CHX delivery to the oral cavity. The aim of this study was to investigate the plaque inhibitory effects of CHX, cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), and triclosan (TRN) delivered by sprays and mouthrinses. METHODS: The study was an observer-masked, randomized cross-over design balanced for carryover effects, involving 15 healthy volunteers in a 4-day plaque regrowth model. Products being tested (0.2% CHX, 0.12% CHX, 0.05% CPC, and 0.03% TRN) were used both as sprays and mouthrinses. A saline solution served as a negative control. On day 1, subjects received p…
