Indigenous people’s responses to drought in northwest Bangladesh
2019
Abstract Bangladesh is highly disaster-prone, with drought being a major hazard which significantly impacts water, food, health, livelihoods, and migration. In seeking to reduce drought vulnerabilities and impacts while improving responses, existing literature pays limited attention to community-level views and actions. This paper aims to contribute to filling in this gap by examining how an indigenous group, the Santal in Bangladesh’s northwest, responds to drought through local strategies related to water, food, and migration which in turn impact health and livelihoods. A combination of quantitative data through a household survey and qualitative data through participatory rural appraisal…
Consumer behaviour change through education for sustainable development: case of Latvia

The multilayer results provide insight into the consumption of these chemicals and show that one year after the assignment, …
Are children more paternalistic than their mothers when choosing snacks?
2016
International audience; This paper focuses on an experiment in which mothers and their child separately chose between relatively healthy foods (flasks of stewed apples) and relatively unhealthy foods (candy bars). Each participant first filled up a first bag for her/himself, and then, a second one for the other person of the dyad. A simple nutritional message on vitamins and sugar contents of foods was then provided, and subsequently each participant filled up a third bag for her/himself and a fourth one for the other person of the dyad. The results show that before revealing the nutritional message, mothers are, on average, "indulgent", which means that they choose a lower number of relati…

Käymme yhdessä ain, käymme aina rinnakkain : analyysi kuntaliitosretoriikan käsitteistön muuttumisesta 1960- luvulta 2000-luvulle
2010
Tutkimukseni aiheena on selvittää kuntaliitoskeskusteluun kuuluvien käsitteiden vaikutusta kuntaliitosten toteuttamiseen ja kuinka käsitteet ovat vaikuttaneet poliittiseen diskurssiin ja toimintaan kuntaliitoksissa viimeisen noin 40 vuoden aikana virallisten tahojen ja tekstien kautta. Tutkimuksessa kuntaliitoskeskustelua tarkastellaan 1960-luvulta 2000-luvulle. Varsinainen analyysi jakautuu kolmeen päälukuun. Ensimmäinen käsittää ajanjakson 1960- ja 1970-luvut, toinen 1980-luvun ja osan 1990-luvusta. Kolmannessa luvussa käsitellään edellisten vuosikymmenten keskustelujen vaikutuksia kahden kuntaliitoksen toteutumisen 2000-luvulla. Tutkimuksessa kysytään miten käsitteet ovat muuttuneet tai …

La desamortización y enajenación del dominio de Sueca a finales del antiguo régimen: la presencia de Godoy como duque y señor de Sueca
2010
La concesión del ducado de Sueca a Manuel Godoy y la adquisición, mediante pública subasta del término y las pertenencias de esta villa, provocó importantes cambios en la jurisdicción y administración de la anterior posesión de la Orden de Montesa. La modificación en las condiciones de la compra, confirieron al Príncipe de la Paz los mismos privilegios de los que disfrutaba el Rey como Gran Maestre y Administrador Perpetuo, lo que acabó generando tensiones con los vecinos, terratenientes y el propio Ayuntamiento. The granting of the Duchy of Sueca to Manuel Godoy and the acquisition by auction of the territory and the belongings of this town, led to significant changes in the jurisdiction a…
Health literacy in familial hypercholesterolemia: A cross-national study.

Relative and absolute socioeconomic inequality in smoking: time trends in Germany from 1995 to 2013
2020
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to investigate time trends in relative and absolute socioeconomic inequality in smoking prevalence in Germany using several indicators for socioeconomic position. Methods We conducted a repeated cross-sectional study using representative samples of the German population aged between 25 and 64 years in 1995, 1999, 2005, 2009, and 2013 (n = 857,264).

Trends in inequalities were estimated with interaction te…
