Essential? COVID-19 and highly educated Africans in Finland’s segmented labour market

2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to characterise the position of highly educated African migrants in the Finnish labour market and to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on that position.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on the biographical work stories of 17 highly educated African migrant workers in four occupation areas in Finland: healthcare, cleaning, restaurant and transport. The sample was partly purposively and partly theoretically determined. The authors used content driven thematic analysis technique, combined with by the biographical narrative concept of turning points.FindingsUsing the case of highly educated African migrants in the Finnish labour market, …

Media portrayals of transitions from work to retirement in two ageing societies : the case of ageing baby boomers in Japan and Finland

2021

This article explores media portrayals of the transition from work to retirement under the circumstances of demographic change through a focus on newspaper discussions about ageing baby boomers in Japan and Finland. Due to their shared characteristics as a distinct population group that advances the rapid ageing of the population, media representations of Japanese and Finnish baby boomers during the transitional period to retirement give insight into the social perceptions of retirement and their implications on later life. Manifest content analysis and subsequent thematic analysis identify that the topic of “work, retirement and pension” dominates media discussions in both countries. Analy…

Nuevos datos sobre Ferula loscosii (Lange) Willk. (Apiaceae) en la provincia de Alicante

2012

Se amplía el área de distribución del endemismo ibérico Ferula loscosii en el noroeste de la provincia de Alicante, al haber sido hallados nuevos núcleos poblacionales situados a una distancia de hasta 4 km respecto al único núcleo anteriormente conocido en Villena. Asimismo se adjunta abundante material gráfico y descriptivo sobre las plantas alicantinas para facilitar tanto su comparación con el resto de poblaciones ibéricas como la futura detección de nuevas poblaciones de esta especie. The distribution area of the Iberian endemism Ferula loscosii is enlarged in NW Alicante province. New populations have been found which are located up to 4 km far from the single population currently kno…

Multi-model ensemble simulations of olive pollen distribution in Europe in 2014: current status and outlook

2017

"Çalışmada 29 yazar bulunmaktadır. Bu yazarlardan sadece Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi mensuplarının girişleri yapılmıştır” The paper presents the first modelling experiment of the European-scale olive pollen dispersion, analyses the quality of the predictions, and outlines the research needs. A 6-model strong ensemble of Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS) was run throughout the olive season of 2014, computing the olive pollen distribution. The simulations have been compared with observations in eight countries, which are members of the European Aeroallergen Network (EAN). Analysis was performed for individual models, the ensemble mean and median, and for a dynamically optimised c…

Les ambroisies annuelles (Ambrosia artemisiifolia et Ambrosia trifida) : réponse adaptative au désherbage chimique et connectivité des populations da…

2018

The primary aim of this work was to study the risk of resistance evolution to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibiting herbicides in mugwort (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) through four points: (i) selection pressure (study of the efficacy of a range of ALS-inhibiting herbicides), (ii) the adaptive response capacity of the weed (determination of the variation in sensitivity to ALS inhibitors between plants and implementation of a recurrent selection programme), (iii) a field study (search for resistance to ALS inhibitors in the field in France), (iv) the study of resistance mechanisms (target-linked - TLR - and non-target-linked - NLR - by a transcriptomics approach). The second objective was to…

Thouless-Valatin Rotational Moment of Inertia from the Linear Response Theory

2017

Spontaneous breaking of continuous symmetries of a nuclear many-body system results in appearance of zero-energy restoration modes. Such modes introduce a non-physical contributions to the physical excitations called spurious Nambu-Goldstone modes. Since they represent a special case of collective motion, they are sources of important information about the Thouless-Valatin inertia. The main purpose of this work is to study the Thouless-Valatin rotational moment of inertia as extracted from the Nambu-Goldstone restoration mode that results from the zero-frequency response to the total angular momentum operator. We examine the role and effects of the pairing correlations on the rotational cha…

First isomeric yield ratio measurements by direct ion counting and implications for the angular momentum of the primary fission fragments

2018

We report the first experimental determination of independent isomeric yield ratios using direct ion counting with a Penning trap, which offered such a high resolution in mass that isomeric states could be separated. The measurements were performed at the Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line (IGISOL) facility at the University of Jyvaskyla. The isomer production ratios of Ge-81, Y-96,Y-97 Sn-128(,1)30, and Sb-129 in the 25-MeV proton-induced fission of U-na(t) and Th-232 were studied. Three isomeric pairs (Ge-81, Y-96, and Sb-129) were measured for the first time for the U-na(t)(p, f) reaction, while all the reported yield ratios for the Th-232(p, f) reaction were determined for the first ti…

Maladaptive and adaptive emotion regulation through music a behavioral and neuroimaging study of males and females

2015

Music therapists use guided affect regulation in the treatment of mood disorders. However, self-directed uses of music in affect regulation are not fully understood. Some uses of music may have negative effects on mental health, as can non music regulation strategies, such as rumination. Psychological testing and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) were used explore music listening strategies in relation to mental health. Participants (n = 123) were assessed for depression, anxiety and Neuroticism, and uses of Music in Mood Regulation (MMR). Neural responses to music were measured in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in a subset of participants (n = 56). Discharge, using music to…
